Chapter 36 We Are Not Suitable

The marriage proposal was not reached, but Song Xueyi did not continue to dwell on this issue.

The two sides had fought together for most of their lives, and it could be said that they understood each other as well as brothers. He knew that whether Jiang Hongtao's story was true or false, he would never let it go.

When Song Wenchang heard the news that Jiang Tiantong was in love, he was briefly out of control, but he quickly calmed down.

During the following conversation, he just sat there in silence.

It was he who came up with the idea of proposing marriage. Since his pursuit of Jiang Tiantong was fruitless, he planned to start from within the Jiang family.

Although he had already expected that Jiang Hongtao would most likely refuse, he still felt a little unwilling.

After chatting for a while, Song Xueyi stood up and said goodbye to Jiang Hongtao.

Song Wenchang, who was following behind him, bowed politely and said goodbye even though his request was rejected.

After the two men left, Jiang Hongtao's eyes gleamed as he looked at their backs and said to himself, "This old fox has a really good plan."

Jiang Hongtao then turned to Tang Shuo and said, "Be careful with Song Wenchang. This guy is not simple."

Tang Shuo nodded, indicating that he had taken note of Jiang Hongtao's words.

As for what Jiang Hongtao said about his relationship with Jiang Tiantong, Tang Shuo did not mention it again. It was obviously just an excuse for Jiang Hongtao to reject the Song family.

Not long after Song Xueyi and Song Wenchang left, another man came in. He was about forty years old and wore a traditional Mao suit. As soon as he entered the door, he said to Jiang Hongtao, "Dad, who was here just now?"

"Song Xueyi." Jiang Hongtao replied.

"Why did he come to our house suddenly?" the man asked.

"He's proposing marriage to Xiang Tiantong," Jiang Hongtao said. "This guy is really calculating. He wants to use this trick to easily incorporate my Jiang family."

The man fell silent, then looked at Tang Shuo who was standing next to Jiang Hongtao and asked, "Dad, who is this?"

"I'm a nephew. I'll introduce him to you later."

…………

At noon, more than ten men and women of different ages had come to the Jiang family villa. Jiang Tiantong and Jiang Tianwei also came back, which was a rare occasion.

At lunchtime, Jiang Hongtao brought Tang Shuo to the table and introduced him to everyone, "This is Tang Shuo, my nephew. We'll be one of our own from now on."

Jiang Hongtao then introduced the other people in the villa to Tang Shuo one by one.

Among them, there are two people who left a deep impression on Tang Shuo. One is Jiang Tiantong's fourth uncle Jiang Kaiji, and the other is Jiang Tiantong's cousin Jiang Zhiming.

Jiang Kaiji is a middle-aged man in his forties. He currently serves as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Energy. He is the only person in the Jiang family who has developed a political career.

However, due to his limited abilities, even with the help of the Jiang family, it would be difficult for him to move forward.

Jiang Zhiming is a young man in his twenties, but judging by his appearance, it is difficult to classify him as a member of the Jiang family.

Maybe it's really a matter of genes. Everyone in the Jiang family looks much better than ordinary people, especially the brother and sister Jiang Tianwei and Jiang Tiantong, who are the epitome of handsome men and beautiful women.

But this Jiang Zhiming is a bit unbearable. His eyes are narrow and drooping, revealing a sinister feeling that makes people feel uncomfortable when they see him.

After Jiang Hongtao finished introducing everyone, Tang Shuo smiled and nodded, saying, "Hello everyone, I'm Tang Shuo."

In another scenario, I believe no one would care about Tang Shuo, but because Jiang Hongtao was present, everyone greeted Tang Shuo.

After the introduction was finished, Jiang Zhiming suddenly said, "When I first arrived, I saw that the Song family seemed to have been here. What were they doing here?"

"Come and propose marriage." Jiang Hongtao said, "The Song family wants to become relatives with our Jiang family."

As he spoke, Jiang Hongtao looked at Tang Shuo meaningfully.

"Oh." Jiang Zhiming's eyes lit up and he said, "This is a good thing. If our Jiang family and the Song family marry, then who in Yanjing will dare to challenge our Jiang family in the future?"

"Yes, I think Zhiming is right." A young man echoed, "Cousin Tiantong and Song Wenchang are indeed a perfect match. It's a match made in heaven."

"I think they're a good match, too."

“…”

Except for a few people, everyone in the room agreed with the proposal and expressed their optimism.

Jiang Tiantong sat silently on the side, slowly eating the food in front of her, as if the topic everyone was talking about had nothing to do with her.

Jiang Tianwei was so excited that he almost stood up and applauded.

Song Wenchang and he had a good personal relationship, and the other party had always taken good care of him. Moreover, Song Wenchang had lent him a sports car that his sister had always refused to buy him a few days ago, and he also sincerely felt that his sister and Song Wenchang were a perfect match.

"I have already rejected the Song family." Jiang Hongtao interrupted everyone's discussion and spoke.

"Grandpa, why?" Jiang Zhiming asked.

"Because I decided to marry Tiantong to Tang Shuo." Jiang Hongtao explained.

After listening to Jiang Hongtao's explanation, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone stopped what they were doing and digested what Jiang Hongtao said.

After a long time, a burst of discussion was heard in the room.

"How can this be possible? How can this Tang Shuo be worthy of Tian Tong?"

"that is."

"Grandpa, do you want to reconsider this?"

“…”

Only then did Jiang Tiantong look up at Tang Shuo in surprise, but she quickly lowered her head again.

Jiang Tianwei opened his mouth wide, seeming unable to accept the news.

He had a very good impression of Tang Shuo. The other party could take him to fight together and stand up to help him out at the critical moment. This was enough to win his favor.

But Jiang Tianwei also felt that it was inappropriate to marry his sister to Tang Shuo and make Tang Shuo his brother-in-law.

The gap between the two is too big!

"I've already made up my mind about this matter," Jiang Hongtao said, glancing at the crowd. "Tang Shuo, what do you think?"

Tang Shuo had just taken a bite of sweet and sour pork, and before he could put it in his mouth, he heard Jiang Hongtao's question. He didn't know whether to eat it or put it down.

He originally thought that Jiang Hongtao brought up this topic just to deal with the Song family, but he didn't expect Jiang Hongtao to ask him so seriously.

It seems that Jiang Hongtao is serious!

Tang Shuo stuffed the sweet and sour pork into his mouth and ate it slowly. Then he said to Jiang Hongtao, "Isn't this a bit too sudden? Or should I think about it?"

"I've thought about it." Jiang Hongtao replied. "Tiantong, what do you think?"

Jiang Tiantong didn't say anything and nodded calmly.

She didn't explicitly agree, but she didn't explicitly refuse either.

"Tiantong is fine now." Jiang Hongtao said to Tang Shuo with a smile, "Now it's up to you."

Tang Shuo glanced at Jiang Tiantong, who was sitting opposite him and looked very ethereal, and shook his head, "No, I don't think we're suitable!"

If Jiang Hongtao's announcement that Jiang Tiantong would be betrothed to Tang Shuo just now surprised everyone, then Tang Shuo's refusal now was tantamount to dropping an atomic bomb next to everyone!

A poor boy who appeared out of nowhere actually rejected the most beautiful girl in Yanjing!

This made everyone start to doubt their ears.

If Jiang Tiantong rejected Tang Shuo, then it would be normal in their eyes. But if Tang Shuo rejected Jiang Tiantong, then the meaning of this matter would be completely different!

When did the Jiang family fall into such a state that no one is willing to marry into the family?

Jiang Tiantong was also a little surprised by Tang Shuo's answer, and frowned at Tang Shuo.

She agreed to her grandfather Jiang Hongtao's proposal because she knew that her grandfather would not bring up this matter for no reason.
