Chapter 89 Marriage Troubles
Jiang Chejin was stunned for a moment.
How dare he say that he had a conflict with his uncle over a woman.
"No." He lowered his eyes, hiding all his emotions, "I just feel a little unwell."
The old man obviously didn't believe it, but he was too lazy to ask any further questions. He just withdrew his gaze, obviously having more troubles.
Jiang Chejin immediately stepped forward and naturally took the old man's rosewood cane from the servant waiting nearby, while his other hand firmly held the old man's arm.
"Let me help you."
The two of them walked down the stairs together and into the courtyard.
The cool night breeze blowing on my face was much more comfortable than the stuffy air in the house.
"Did you run into your uncle just now?"
Jiang Chejin held his hand tightly.
"I did."
The old man didn't stop walking, but his tone suddenly became heavy, as if it had been chilled.
"Has he been particularly close to any woman recently?"
In Jiang Chejin's mind, Xu Yueqing's stubborn face instantly flashed through his mind.
Recently, the two have indeed become quite close.
But Jiang Chejin didn't say anything. Instead, he chose to play dumb and asked, "Grandfather, why do you ask this suddenly?"
The old man's voice became deeper, filled with anger at being disobeyed.
"I asked him to meet Lin Yue, the daughter of the Lin family. What did he tell me?"
The old man's walking stick hit the bluestone slab hard, making a dull sound.
"He told me that he has someone by his side and I don't need to worry about him. He also said that they will get married soon!"
marry?
These two words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Jiang Chejin on the top of his head, making him freeze completely. He even forgot to move his arm that was supporting the old man, and his steps subconsciously stopped.
He is going to marry Xu Yueqing?
This thought burst out from the deepest part of his heart like crazy, almost breaking through his rationality.
impossible!
The next second, Jiang Chejin ruthlessly suppressed this ridiculous idea.
Although my uncle just said that he would consider it, it was just because he saw that he was pestering me, so he gave Xu Yueqing a way out and said it was just an excuse to get rid of him.
How could he really marry her?
This is the Ji family.
It is the real top of the Beijing circle.
A woman like Xu Yueqing would never be able to take a single step into the Ji family's doorstep, even if she were reincarnated ten times.
He was immersed in the confidence he had built up, but the old man's voice pierced him like an icicle.
"What are you daydreaming about?"
Jiang Chejin shuddered and came back to his senses.
Only then did he realize that he had stopped in the middle of the courtyard, and the night wind made his back feel cold.
"It's okay, Grandpa."
He collected his thoughts and his voice returned to its usual respectful tone.
Jiang Chejin continued, "Don't you know who my uncle is?"
Jiang Chejin supported the old man and started walking again. His tone was gentle and slow, with a hint of comfort, "He probably just doesn't want to get married. He's tired of your urging, so he just found someone to use as a shield to put off the Lin family's marriage. Don't take it to heart. He has always put his career first."
He thought these words could appease the old man.
Who knew that what he got in return was a cold snort.
"Career is the most important thing?"
The old man stopped and turned his head, his cloudy eyes filled with disappointment at his son's lack of resistance.
"Humph! If that incident hadn't happened back then, your uncle would have been married long ago! So many years have passed, and he's still obsessed with a woman. He simply doesn't have the integrity of a Ji family member at all!"
The crutch hit the ground again, making a dull sound that made Jiang Chejin's heart tremble.
