After Jiang Tingzhou turned around, Jiang De'an smiled and said, "Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Xiaoya. You know her too."
An Yunya's makeup was exceptionally exquisite today, but it couldn't hide the scar on her face from her previous act of feigning madness.
Jiang Tingzhou hummed in agreement.
Jiang De'an glanced in the direction of the car and asked, "Where's your wife? Why didn't she come?"
"No," Jiang Tingzhou replied, then said, "I'll go in first."
Jiang De'an quickly said, "Ah, then let's do it together."
An Yunya's first meeting with Jiang Tingzhou after changing her identity was quite awkward.
Even though she agreed to Jiang De'an's request to marry her, she found herself filled with resistance and resentment when she actually tried to accept the man.
Especially just now, when Jiang Tingzhou and Jiang De'an were standing together.
They are clearly family members, but they have nothing in common, neither in appearance nor in aura.
She was originally the wealthiest, most beautiful, and smartest woman in Beicheng.
Women who are not as good as her can marry good men, so why did she marry Jiang De'an, a man who is forty years old, still single, and has no ability?
She was unwilling to accept it, but she had no other choice.

When the three entered, Lingya was sitting in the living room arranging the flowers she had brought.
Jiang Detian was sitting to the side.
The two of them didn't say a word to each other, and the atmosphere wasn't good; it seemed they had just had a fight.
Seeing that only three people had entered, Jiang Detian asked Jiang Tingzhou, "Why didn't you call your wife? It's been so long..."
"Jiang Detian!" Ling Ya interrupted Jiang Detian, giving him a warning look. "What are you doing? Are you ignoring what I said?"
"I think..."
"What do you think?!"
As Lingya spoke, she picked up a pair of scissors and snipped a rose in her hand into pieces with two quick snips.
Saying nothing already shows that she is very angry.
Jiang Detian had no choice but to shut up.
Jiang De'an broke the awkward atmosphere by introducing, "Brother, sister-in-law, this is my girlfriend."
"Uncle Jiang, Aunt An, it's been a long time." An Yunya placed the gift she was carrying on the sofa in the corner. "This is a gift I brought for you both. I don't know if you'll like it."
Lingya acted as if she hadn't heard or seen anything, and continued to fiddle with the flowers in her hands.
Ever since An Yunya schemed against Xu Wan, her impression of An Yunya plummeted to negative points, and she had no intention of letting this woman have anything to do with the Jiang family again.
She never expected An Yunya to be so ruthless, choosing to marry Jiang De'an instead of Jiang Tingzhou!
“Xiaoya is a child we’ve watched grow up, we know her inside and out.” Jiang Detian stood up and greeted her, “Sit down, sit down, the food will be ready soon, you can eat in a bit.”
An Yunya didn't sit down, but walked over to Lingya's side. "Aunt Ling, I happen to have some experience in flower arranging. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No need, I don't like others helping me with these things. You're a guest, please have a seat."
Lingya tried her best to control her tone so that it didn't sound impatient.
After all, An Yunya wasn't his daughter-in-law, so he didn't need to see her every day. He could just let it go today.
Jiang Tingzhou just mentioned the lawsuit on the phone.
This is her son's business, and she won't take the initiative to get involved.
An Yunya had no choice but to give up.
Jiang De'an, who was standing to the side, also looked rather grim. In his view, Ling Ya's attitude toward An Yunya was, in a way, a reflection of her attitude toward him.
Soon, several servants prepared the meal and served it on the table.
The family took their seats.
Once the drinks were poured, everyone drank and ate, exchanging polite greetings in a normal and respectful manner.
They didn't ask how the two met or how they decided to be together, and they certainly didn't talk about An Yunya and Jiang Tingzhou's childhood. All conversations revolved around peace.
In the latter half of the dinner, Jiang De'an suddenly grabbed An Yunya's hand and said, "I consulted a fortune teller, and tomorrow, December 12th, is an auspicious day. I want to go with Xiaoya to get our marriage certificate first."
As soon as he said that, the atmosphere at the table fell silent.
Lingya spoke first: "Xiaoya's father just passed away, is it really okay to get married now...?"
“Sister-in-law, we’re just getting our marriage certificate first. We’ll postpone the wedding for at least a year.” Jiang De’an looked at An Yunya. “There have been too many things going on lately, and it’s been a huge blow to Xiaoya. I want to give her more security.”
Jiang De'an and An Yunya both had smiles on their faces.
But their smiles were superficial, not reaching their eyes.
