Hearing the sound of the door opening, the couple in the living room stopped talking and looked towards the door in unison.
Jiang Yining glanced at them, changed his shoes as if nothing had happened, and walked into the living room. Then he poured himself a glass of water and didn't intend to call anyone.
Seeing that Jiang Yining looked calm and composed, Zhao Hong couldn't guess what she was thinking for a while, so she nudged Jiang Wentao beside her with her elbow.
Jiang Wentao was reluctant, but still asked, "Ningning, did you go to meet Mr. Chen this afternoon?"
Jiang Yining put down the water cup and said slowly, "I went there. Mr. Chen's material conditions are quite good."
"He said that if I was willing to marry him, he would not only give me a betrothal gift of 500,000 yuan, but also give me an additional house in the city center."
When Zhao Hong heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Jiang Wentao breathed a sigh of relief and tried to use this opportunity to reconcile the relationship between his wife and daughter. "Ningning, look how good Aunt Hong is to you. This is the blind date she carefully selected for you."
Seeing that Jiang Yining was not angry, Zhao Hong also said, "It's rare to find such a generous man nowadays. Although you have blamed me and your father for the past two years, every time we did it was for your own good..."
Jiang Yining sneered in his heart.
She had originally planned to quietly appreciate their performance, but she couldn't bear it any longer, so she said calmly, "I refuse."
"What?"
Zhao Hong couldn't believe it and stood up with a frown on her face. "Yining, why did you reject Mr. Chen's good offer?"
"You're already 27 years old, and I don't see you dating. People in the neighborhood ask me about it when they see me, thinking that I, as your stepmother, don't care about you."
Zhao Hong's tone became more intense. Jiang Wentao was worried that the two of them would quarrel again, so he winked at Jiang Yining, signaling her to speak less.
Jiang Yining has been working for several years since he graduated, and he is no longer the person who would swallow his anger in silence.
She looked at Zhao Hong fearlessly and kindly suggested, "Auntie Hong, since Mr. Chen's conditions are so good, if you are reluctant, you can introduce him to your daughter."
"If I remember correctly, Zhao Jiajia is 26 years old this year and can also fall in love and get married."
Zhao Hong blurted out, "That man is almost forty years old and divorced..."
Meeting Jiang Yining's cold and mocking eyes, Zhao Hong stopped talking in time.
Jiang Wentao looked at Zhao Hong in surprise.
"How could you introduce such a person to Ningning? She is still young, there is a difference of more than ten years between them!"
Zhao Hong glared at him angrily, "Jiang Wentao, don't you know what the situation is at home right now? Neither you nor I have a house in our names, and Yangyang will be in first grade next year."
She pointed at Jiang Yining and said, "Your precious daughter has been working for five years and hasn't brought a penny home."
"She has the right to occupy our house! You raised her to this age, shouldn't she marry a rich man to help support the family?"
Jiang Wentao was also angry. "Ningning needs to pay back her uncle's money. You can't treat her like this, no matter what. Not only is he older, but he's also a divorced man."
Zhao Hong sneered, "Not only are they divorced, but they also have a child."
Jiang Wentao's voice was trembling and he couldn't speak, "You..."
Jiang Yining watched coldly, she stood aside and watched them quarrel as if nothing had happened.
After a while, Zhao Hong started to curse, and Jiang Yining walked away calmly.
The couple continued to argue, and even after she closed the door, she could still hear Zhao Hong shouting.
Aunt Sun, our next-door neighbor, opened the door and asked curiously, "Yining, what are your dad and Zhao Hong arguing about?"
