Chapter 144 Don’t even think about having an easy time
At this moment, even Xie Caiwen felt a little helpless. It was obvious that Meng Zhenyue in front of him had no idea what the name of Jiang family meant in today's Beijing.
She only knows how to play tricks and act like a spoiled brat. No wonder Xie Yanchuan has never looked down on her for all these years and even specially found an identical "substitute" for her.
The aunt who was so "amiable" just now also frowned at this moment: "You'd better not go in and make trouble. Just think it over carefully here."
Seeing the woman about to leave, Meng Zhenyue, who was originally furious, became anxious at this moment: "Aunt, Aunt! You can't do this to me!"
She wanted to catch up with Xie Caiwen, but was eventually stopped outside the house by the two bodyguards she brought with her.
Meng Zhenyue's face was filled with anger. Finally, she took out her phone with red eyes: "Why Jiang Wanning, why do you deserve the best?"
"Since I can't have it, you can't have it either!"
…
On the other side, Jiang Wanning was also watching the reactions of everyone present, and had a rough guess about Meng Zhenyue's identity in her heart.
After what he had just said, the Xie family members in front of him had different expressions, but they all agreed not to mention anything related to Meng Zhenyue again.
And they don't seem to have any bias towards the fact that they look like Jiang Yue.
Therefore, Jiang Wanning guessed that Meng Zhenyue's true identity might have some connection with the Jiang family, but her face definitely did not look like this originally.
But as to the reason, Jiang Wanning planned to wait until the end of today and then ask Xie Yanchuan again.
After all, she didn't know whether these people in front of her were friends or enemies, so it was better not to act on her own on some things.
Seeing that the atmosphere here was getting better, Xie Yanchuan took the opportunity to give Jiang Wanning a brief introduction of the family members.
It was indeed as Jiang Wanning had guessed at the beginning, the old man of the Xie family and Xie Yanchuan's biological parents were not present.
This "meeting" may not have received "enough attention" from the very beginning.
Jiang Wanning didn't care about it, but Xie Yanchuan, who was next to her, was in a low mood throughout the dinner.
He sat there with a stern face, and everyone at the table was trembling with fear while eating.
Although they had some complaints about Xie Yanchuan becoming the heir, they were still a little afraid of his eccentric style of doing things.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, it was finally Uncle Xie who stepped forward to mediate: "Yanchuan, the old man and your father didn't mean to stay away today."
"As you know, the old man is old and has a weak heart. Just before you and Xiao Jiang came back today, he had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital. Fifth brother has always been filial, so he went with him."
The middle-aged man spoke slowly while cutting beef.
Xie Yanchuan's father is the fifth among these uncles of three generations.
But he is the only "direct bloodline" on Mr. Xie's side, and the others are relatives from Mr. Xie's brothers and sisters.
This is also one of the reasons why they could not compete with a "young boy" like Xie Yanchuan.
In addition to the gap in strength, the gap in status is a chasm that no one can cross.
Xie Zhiwen's precise language and elegant demeanor make him particularly convincing.
Jiang Wanning was just about to nod in understanding when Xie Yanchuan next to her sneered.
"so."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Xie Yanchuan took his time and slowly cut a steak and brought it to Jiang Wanning.
From beginning to end, he kept his eyes downcast, not even raising his eyelashes. As he spoke slowly, his tone was filled with an inexplicable sarcasm: "This is the only filial piety he can show off."
“…”
The eldest aunt of the Xie family, who had just "settled" Meng Zhenyue outside, happened to hear Xie Yanchuan's words as soon as she walked in. She frowned a little dissatisfiedly: "Yanchuan, no matter how bad the fifth brother is, he is still your father after all."
Xie Yanchuan suddenly heard this familiar voice and finally raised his head to look at the person who came.
When she saw that it was her aunt Xie Caiwen, her eyes flickered with emotion, but in the end she did not say anything "shocking".
In fact, Jiang Wanning enjoyed this meal more comfortably than others.
She didn't know if it was because Xie Yanchuan had specifically instructed her to do so or for some other reason, but the dishes that were served on the table one after another were unexpectedly to her liking.
In particular, although Xie Yanchuan was in a low mood, it was visible to outsiders. He was peeling shrimps, cutting steaks, pouring juice... all in one go, and his hands were never idle.
He even asked someone to warm up the towel that Jiang Wanning needed to wipe her hands after dinner and keep it aside.
Jiang Wanning was enjoying her meal so much that everyone else at the table was almost shocked.
After all, they had never seen Xie Yanchuan being so considerate and caring before.
Before, everyone thought that he was only interested in Jiang Wanning's family background and wanted her to help him inherit the family business, so he decided to cancel his engagement with Meng Zhenyue and be with her.
But everything that happened now seemed to them to be different. Xie Yanchuan should be serious about Jiang Wanning.
And the level of seriousness seemed to far exceed their imagination.
For a moment, the way everyone looked at her changed from serious to even more serious.
…
The lunch ended in such a nervous manner.
Seeing that the other people in the Xie family wanted to continue talking to Jiang Wanning about the Jiang family, Xie Yanchuan had already stood up and pulled the person up from his seat.
"We have other things to do this afternoon, so we'll leave first."
After saying that, he prepared to leave without waiting for anyone's response.
The aunts and uncles watched him and Jiang Wanning leave, and before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw the former suddenly remember something and stopped.
"Wait for me, Ningning."
Seeing Jiang Wanning's confusion, Xie Yanchuan lowered his head and whispered this instruction in her ear before walking back to the front of the crowd.
He was tall and had long legs. He was standing at this moment, while everyone was sitting opposite him.
From this condescending perspective, Xie Yanchuan's gaze, which seemed to look down on all living beings, almost suppressed everyone on the opposite side to the point that they could not breathe.
"If the old man comes back from the hospital today, please remember to give him a message for me."
"Wan Ning and I are getting married this weekend, so he must be there."
