Chapter 25 "Accompanying Mrs. Xu, what's so hard about it?"

Jiang Nuanzhu took the initiative to hold Xu Heyi's hand, and the two interlocked their fingers.

The man has a jade-like figure and the woman is gentle and elegant, and they are a perfect match standing together.

In the photo, Grandma Jiang is looking at the two of them with a smile.

Jiang Nuanyu on the side curled her lips, turned her head to look to the side, and met the cold and stern eyes of Old Man Jiang. She was so scared that she stood up straight and dared not look around anymore.

After Jiang Nuanzhu finished speaking, Xu Heyi also spoke in a deep voice: "Grandma, Nuanzhu is as good as you said. It is my blessing to marry her."

"I will protect her for the rest of her life and will not let anyone bully her."

When Xu Heyi said this, he held Jiang Nuanzhu's hand much harder, silently expressing his attitude.

Jiang Nuanzhu suddenly became a little curious.

How did grandma get engaged to the Xu family back then?

On the way back, Jiang Nuanzhu and Xu Heyi walked side by side, a few steps behind the crowd.

Suddenly, Xu Heyi's low, magnetic voice rang out: "Is it always like this?"

Jiang Nuanzhu glanced at the family of three in front of him who were laughing and playing, and said calmly: "I'm used to it. I don't feel anything anymore."

Jiang Nuanzhu is not at the age where she needs parents anymore.

Seeing Xu Heyi's eyes cast heavily on Jiang's father and mother, Jiang Nuanzhu explained in a gentle voice: "Every time we worshipped our ancestors before, it seemed like only Grandpa and I were together, but this time is different!"

She smiled and looked up, meeting Xu Heyi's downcast eyes, "Now there's one more person, you!"

Jiang Nuanzhu's lips curved, dimples were faintly visible, and her brows were filled with a hint of happiness.

Xu Heyi couldn't help but be infected by her smile, "I will accompany you from now on."

"Then you will have to work hard in the future, Mr. Xu." Jiang Nuanzhu teased with a smile.

Xu Heyi's eyes were calm and composed. "What kind of hardship is it to accompany Madam Xu? If that's the case, then Madam Xu will also have to work hard to accompany me."

Jiang Nuanzhu was outmaneuvered by him and her face turned a little red.

"Oh, right." Jiang Nuanzhu leaned close to Xu Heyi and asked quietly, "What did my grandma tell you about me back then?"

Xu Heyi's eyebrows moved slightly, and he lowered his head, leaned close to Jiang Nuanzhu's ear, chuckled softly, and uttered four words.

"I won't tell you."

Jiang Nuanzhu was stunned. His entire ear felt incredibly hot. The heat seemed to be transmitted through the cochlea to his heart and lungs. It took him a while to react.

She was amused by Xu Heyi.

After the sacrifice, the group returned to the Jiang family's old house.

Seeing Li Ma cooking, Jiang Ma took the opportunity to remind her, "Nuanyu loves shrimp and onions, so remember to make more. The Chinese toon is at its tenderest these days, so make some Chinese toon eggs. Nuanyu will also like this."

Li Ma paused, and said with some embarrassment: "But Miss Nuanzhu..."

Just as Li Ma was about to say that Jiang Nuanzhu was allergic to shrimp and eggs, Jiang's mother glanced at Jiang Nuanzhu who was helping pick vegetables in the kitchen and suddenly walked over: "Nuanzhu, there is something I want to talk to you about."

Jiang Nuanzhu was slightly stunned. "Mom, what do you say?"

"Since you're married to Heyi, live a good life. What kind of married daughter would go back to her parents' home to worship her ancestors first? What do you think the Xu family will think?"

Jiang Nuanzhu's expression remained unchanged: "Mom, Heyi has talked to the Xu family, and Heyi and I both think it's okay."

"You might say it's okay, but that doesn't mean it." Mother Jiang said earnestly, "Mom is doing this for your own good. The Xu family has a high barrier to entry. If you're not sensible and your mother-in-law dislikes you, don't blame your parents for not being able to help you."

Jiang Nuanzhu fell silent.

Jiang's mother thought Jiang Nuanzhu had heard it, and was about to leave when she heard Jiang Nuanzhu's calm voice: "When Jiang Nuanyu gets married in the future, will Mom still do this for her?"

Jiang's mother's expression changed. "What do you mean by that? Why do you always want to compare yourself with your sister? Your sister is so much younger than you. Do you have the nerve to compare yourself with her?"

Jiang Nuanzhu put down the dish in her hand and asked calmly, "So, Mom thinks I'm no longer worthy of Jiang Nuanyu?"

In the past, when faced with Jiang's mother's questioning, Jiang Nuanzhu would just accept it silently and never refute it.

But she doesn't want to endure it anymore.

After spending so long with Xu Heyi, she seemed unable to bear any grievances.

Mother Jiang never thought she was partial, but when she heard this, her face darkened and she said stubbornly, "That's not what I meant!"

"Oh, I misunderstood."

Seeing Jiang's mother heaved a sigh of relief, Jiang Nuanzhu curled her lips and said lightly: "Then next time, mother, please be more careful with your words, otherwise I will easily misunderstand that you are partial."

Seeing Jiang's mother's red face, Jiang Nuanzhu walked out calmly.

When they went up to the second floor, Jiang Nuanyu leaned against the wall with her arms folded, her face full of gloating: "Sister, did you make mom angry again?"

Jiang Nuanzhu turned his head and looked at her intently.

Jiang Nuanyu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her dark eyes. The smile on her face faded and she asked warily, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Jiang Nuanzhu said slowly: "Sister, my mother asked me to tell you. Don't come to worship the ancestors after you get married, otherwise your in-laws will be dissatisfied."

Jiang Nuanyu was about to curl her lips in laughter.

"Oh, I forgot." Jiang Nuanzhu pretended to be surprised and said, "I'm afraid your future husband will be looked down upon and not be able to show his face if he marries into your family. With your mother's dominance, your mother-in-law probably won't be able to say anything."

Jiang Nuanyu immediately became angry, "Who are you calling unpresentable?!"

She spoke so loudly that the next second she heard Jiang's mother's impatient voice downstairs.

"What are you sisters arguing about again?! Nuanzhu, can't you just give in to your sister?!"

Jiang Nuanyu had a smug look on her face, and her eyes were filled with pride.

It seems like a silent show-off: Look, my mother always protects me no matter what the situation is.

Jiang Nuanzhu pretended to go downstairs, "I need to explain to Mom. I'm telling the truth and I didn't bully you."

Upon hearing the word "truth", Jiang Nuanyu's whole body tensed up and she quickly grabbed Jiang Nuanzhu.

"Stop right there!"

Jiang Nuanzhu said calmly: "Let go!"

Jiang Nuanyu let go immediately.

"Sister, you are so obedient, why don't you help me explain a few words?"

Jiang Nuanyu glared at her and shouted downstairs, "Mom, we weren't arguing. I accidentally bumped into my sister."

There was a sudden silence downstairs.

Seeing Jiang Nuanzhu about to leave, Jiang Nuanyu laughed at her unwillingly, "Yan Shi went abroad some time ago. If he knew you were getting married, he would probably make a fuss."

As Jiang Nuanzhu went upstairs, she said nonchalantly, "If things get out of hand, I'll send you to marry him. What do you think?"

Jiang Nuanzhu didn't even look at Jiang Nuanyu, but he could guess how ugly Jiang Nuanyu's face was when he heard this.

Because Jiang Nuanyu knew that once Jiang's mother knew who she liked, she would probably really have the same idea.
