As for Fang Wenzhou actually knowing Lin Wangfei, this was something Jiang Tong hadn't expected, especially since they were from the same university, which was quite a coincidence.
Cheng Yun has a rather quirky personality. She enjoys chatting with Jiang Tong and occasionally invites Jiang Tong to go shopping and eat delicious food together, sharing and recommending various things to each other.
Jiang Tong never imagined that one day she would be able to expand her circle of friends, have such a group of new friends, and make her life more colorful.
She was extremely satisfied.
**
They set their wedding date for National Day, and went through all the pre-wedding procedures one by one.
It started with the engagement.
Jiang Tong's parents settled down after seeing that their daughter had married so well in her second marriage, as it brought them a lot of face. Reality is indeed very realistic; even family ties are mixed with various interests and are not pure enough.
But never mind.
Jiang Tong has become estranged from her parents and no longer wants to correct their ideas. Their thinking is too stubborn, and maintaining a superficial harmony is enough.
The engagement went very smoothly, and the relatives were all all smiles. They changed their previous avoidance and acted very affectionately towards Jiang Tong's family, no longer caring about Jiang Tong's previous refusal to lend them money.
They put on an act, and Jiang Tong did the same, but when it came to money, it was impossible for her to lend it to them, because she knew how greedy they were.
Therefore, we will absolutely not budge.
The relatives, however, were still thinking about cultivating a good relationship with Jiang Tong so they could borrow money later and use her connections to gain some benefits they wanted. Little did they know that Jiang Tong had no intention of paying any attention to them and had long been on guard against them.
She remembers clearly the sarcastic remarks made by many relatives when she got divorced.
On the day of the engagement, Zhou Yuansheng appeared with his entourage. As the eldest son of the Zhou family, his entourage was undeniably good-looking. Even Lu Fanghai, whom he had just met, joined in the fun with a big smile on his face.
The tall, handsome men were quite eye-catching.
Jiang Tong was also wearing a red, modernized cheongsam. Her hair was pulled back, revealing her beautiful face. When she smiled, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Auntie kept praising Jiang Tong, saying, "Our Tongtong is so accomplished! She found such a wonderful new husband. You'd better take good care of us! Remember to help your younger cousins out too!"
The aunts also pulled Jiang's mother aside to ask around, getting incredibly excited as they looked at these handsome men in suits. "These guys all look rich! Help us find out if any of them are single. Your nieces are all of marriageable age. If they could snag one of them, that would be so impressive!"
Everyone got excited, but they didn't dare to offend Zhou Yuansheng and his group because their aura was too strong, making everyone feel a little awkward. They could only pull Jiang's mother aside to whisper to her, and they were all begging her.
Jiang's mother was also a little embarrassed; how could she dare to ask? So she could only say, "I'll ask Tongtong later if those people would even consider our child."
Her daughter at least has a pretty face, but her nieces are nowhere near as beautiful.
Jiang's mother never imagined that her daughter would become so beautiful. Her temperament had improved by more than double, perhaps dozens of times, making her feel somewhat unfamiliar with her. She secretly sighed more than once that such a wealthy person was made with money.
Jiang Tong's refined appearance is far more attractive than some new actors in the entertainment industry. In addition, her experience over the past year has broadened her horizons, and her temperament has matured, making her appear noble and mysterious.
The small house was really lively.
The relatives were chatting in the living room, and the house was decorated in a very festive manner.
Zhou Yuansheng's parents eventually arrived. When they rang the doorbell, it was Jiang's mother who opened the door. Seeing the well-dressed couple, Jiang's mother seemed a little flustered and quickly invited the guests in.
Mrs. Zhou greeted everyone with a big smile, appearing very friendly. However, because of her dazzling jewelry, the Jiang family relatives were hesitant to get close, almost blinded by the glitter. Behind her back, they kept whispering about whether Mrs. Zhou's jewelry was real or fake, and how it was so big.
Although Zhou Hengyi was getting on in years, he was still a very handsome middle-aged man, both dashing and refined, which made his aunts and other female relatives blush.
They couldn't even speak properly anymore.
Mr. Jiang also seemed uneasy, but he forced a smile and replied, "Please sit down, in-laws. Would you like some tea? Or something else?"
Zhou Hengyi simply smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, let's just have some tea!"
To be honest, Zhou Hengyi had never been to such a small house or interacted with such ordinary people in his entire life, but he had to come for his son and daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Zhou didn't mind at all. She sat on the sofa chatting with Mrs. Jiang with a smile on her face. She was very talkative and kept asking Mrs. Jiang about Jiang Tong's childhood. She really liked Jiang Tong.
Whether the two have a good relationship or are compatible, you can tell by looking at her son.
Madam Zhou could see Jiang Tong and Zhou Yuansheng standing together with just a slight glance. The two had never been apart and were always sticking together.
She also gave a gentle smile.
I feel that my son has become more energetic since he met Jiang Tong.
She knew this daughter-in-law was truly wonderful!
Jiang's parents used to be very proud to be teachers in their social circle, so they were naturally a bit arrogant and cared a lot about their reputation. It wasn't until they met Zhou's parents that they realized how big the gap was.
As a result, Jiang's mother became somewhat self-conscious and spoke very cautiously. When she heard Mrs. Zhou praising Jiang Tong, Jiang's mother quickly denied it, saying, "No, no, it's not that our Tongtong is lucky to be with your child..."
Mr. Jiang also had a serious expression on his face, and he started talking about Jiang Tong's shortcomings, "This child is just stubborn, just like with her studies before, she still doesn't work hard enough..."
They are used to repressive education and the principle of humility, and they tend to negate everything first; this is almost an unconscious reaction ingrained in their bones.
Jiang Tong vaguely heard a few words and couldn't help but frown. She recalled the various grievances she had suffered as a child. Suddenly, she heard Mrs. Zhou say somewhat angrily, "Oh dear, Jiang's mother, I don't really like hearing you say that. Every child is their parents' precious treasure. Humility is good, but constantly negating your child is definitely not acceptable!"
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were stunned.
Mrs. Zhou continued to reason with them righteously, "What's wrong with Tongtong? I think she's wonderful! She's so well-behaved, so considerate, so hardworking, got into university on her own, and even uses her free time to learn to paint. You should focus more on her strengths."
Seeing his wife's adorable side, Zhou Hengyi smiled and then looked at the bewildered Jiang couple, saying, "Tongtong also won an award. I heard she was shortlisted for the Newcomer Cartoonist Award, and her comic will soon be sold in six countries. She already has quite a few fans. She's so outstanding; you two are just too modest. Besides, the fact that the two children like each other is more important than anything else."
