Their relationship was based on purely practical interests from beginning to end; it was just that Lu Mingyan was good at using warmth as a facade to lure Jiang Hanyan into his trap.

Honestly, Jiang Hanyan didn't have much loyalty to Lu Mingyan either.

However, the only truly outstanding man by her side was Lu Mingyan.

The two were well-matched in terms of social standing, Lu Mingyan was generous to her, and she was also very attractive. From any perspective, he was a perfect husband.

Jiang Hanyan weighed the pros and cons and naturally chose to cling to him.

But now that things have come to this, neither of them has anything left to say.

What's the point of judging a relationship that's reached its end?

Jiang Hanyan was in tears.

Lu Mingyan was quite perceptive. He quickly explained the whole story to the Jiang family: "Grandpa asked me to get in touch with Jiang Tian. I also wanted to get to know her. After all, the granddaughter-in-law chosen by Grandpa must have something special about her. In the process of getting to know her, I gradually developed feelings for her."

Jiang's mother was already furious when Lu Mingyan and Jiang Hanyan confronted each other.

She couldn't accept that her daughter, whom she had cherished and raised for so many years, was treated with disdain by Lu Mingyan, while he was devoted to that village girl.

Her finger trembled as she pointed at Xie Yun'an next to Jiang Tian: "You see? She already has a gigolo. If you're with her, can you stand her cheating on you?"

Upon seeing Xie Yun'an, Lu Mingyan's expression remained unchanged, though his eyes held a deeper meaning.

He said gently, "Auntie, as you know, people in this circle like to have fun. Even Brother Jiang had several affairs after his marriage, didn't he? As long as Jiang Tian behaves herself after marriage, I won't mind. It's just for fun."

Upon hearing him mention her eldest son, Jiang's mother's expression became unnatural.

Her eldest son not only cheated on her, but also fathered an illegitimate child who is now being raised at home. Many people are unaware of the inside story.

She didn't want to expose her family's dirty laundry at this time.

Jiang's father spoke up at the opportune moment: "So there's no room for reconciliation in your relationship with Han Yan, right?"

Lu Mingyan bowed his head respectfully and said, "Yes, Uncle. I must respect Grandpa's opinion, after all, he raised me. Obeying the orders of elders is the duty of a grandson."

This means he has decided to contact Jiang Tian.

Jiang's father's expression changed several times before he finally looked at Jiang Tian and said, "Since you and Lu Mingyan are destined to be together, then you should get along well. Don't worry, whatever dowry Han Yan receives, I will give you the same amount, without any discrepancy."

Jiang Hanyan's face suddenly turned deathly pale.

She had long known that there was no unconditional love in wealthy families.

From childhood to adulthood, her excellence far surpassed Jiang Tian's, so the Jiang family chose her without hesitation at that time.

But now, she watched helplessly as Jiang's father ignored her and showed goodwill towards Jiang Tian.

This was undoubtedly a heavy slap in the face to her.

Even Jiang's mother couldn't stand it anymore. She was about to say something when Jiang's father's gaze frightened her so much that she dared not move.

"Go back and rest. You don't understand these things."

Jiang's mother always treated her husband like royalty. Her expression twitched, and she finally managed to squeeze out a sentence for Lu Mingyan: "Why don't you take a look at her some more? Jiang Tian is not suitable to be your wife. There are too many outstanding girls these days."

She couldn't stand that a useless woman like Jiang Tian was being pursued by a high-quality man like Lu Mingyan, as it reminded her of her humble and cruel youth.

Why was she disliked like dust back then?
