Chapter 434 Discussing the Wedding Date
When these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was surprised.
"Yaya, is it true?" Jiang Yao asked in disbelief.
Although Shu Ya was a little shy, she nodded calmly. "After spending some time with Zhou, I've found that we're very compatible in every way. We understand and sympathize with each other, and we're ready to spend our lives together."
In the past, she never thought that she would spend the rest of her life with a man.
She is used to playing games in life. As long as everyone is happy together, it is enough. Having a family means having responsibilities.
And men are not very reliable either. Isn’t her stepfather the best example?
But Jiang Jingzhou did not force her and gave her enough sense of security.
Every day with him, she felt not only sweet and happy, but also at ease. This feeling was something she had never experienced before.
So, when Jiang Jingzhou successfully gained his mother's recognition through his hard work, she made a decision in her heart.
In this life, she has already decided on this man!
Her answer made Jiang Jinghe, who was standing beside her, stunned on the spot, and he felt an inexplicable tingling sensation in his heart.
It's not sharp, but it comes in waves and is hard to ignore.
The rest of the Jiang family, however, were filled with joy. "Great! Great! I thought you four brothers would be single for the rest of your lives, but you all found partners so soon! The Jiang family is finally getting married. Have you decided on a wedding date?"
"We must pick a good day, or arrange it on National Day! It's a great day for the whole country to celebrate together!" Old Mrs. Jiang started to arrange the time right away.
"Isn't it a bit too hasty?" Jiang Jingzhou was still a little worried that there was not enough time to prepare.
"Why rush? It's only been a little over a month. Our whole family is working together to prepare and we're sure to give you a grand wedding." Mrs. Jiang said this, then looked at Shu Ya and said kindly, "Xiao Ya, do you think this is okay?"
Shu Ya said calmly, "No problem. I'll just follow the elders' arrangements."
Since she is ready to get married, it doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later for her.
Looking at their joyful expressions, Jiang Jinghe became more silent.
He wanted to express his different experience, but because Ji Wanqing was beside him, he couldn't say anything.
Ji Qichu looked at him thoughtfully, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.
She thought she was being very secretive, but when she looked away, she met Jiang Yao's cold eyes.
Ji Wanqing's heart trembled, and after a moment she took the initiative to step forward, "Yaoyao, is it convenient for us to go outside and talk for a while?"
Jiang Yao glanced at the bustling hall, then at Shu Ya, whose face was filled with happiness. Finally, he nodded and walked with her to the back garden of the villa.
When the noise faded away, Ji Wanqing mustered up the courage to say, "I know what happened before, and I have never concealed anything from you. You must still be holding a grudge against me.
But now Xu Yueyao is dead, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I will tell you everything I know."
She seemed to want to confess.
Jiang Yao, however, leaned against the wall with his arms folded, sizing her up with deep eyes. After a moment, he asked, "Okay, then let me ask you, was it Xu Yueyao's idea to knock me out abroad?"
Ji Wanqing admitted frankly: "Yes."
"Why are you helping her?"
"You should be able to guess what happened now. My father was very ill at the time and urgently needed a good doctor and money for surgery. Xu Yueyao threatened me that if I didn't obey her orders, she would kill my father."
At this point, Ji Wanqing's eyes flashed with pain, "Father saved my life and raised me for many years. I can't just ignore his life and death, so I did something wrong.
But I regretted it afterwards. I shouldn't have sacrificed someone else's life to fulfill my filial piety. It's unfair to you. I was so selfish! I accept whatever you want to scold me or punish me with.
She seemed to be really prepared mentally.
"So, did she give you the money later?" Jiang Yao continued to ask.
Ji Wanqing gave a bitter smile, "Her purpose failed, so of course she didn't give me the money. Later, I went out to work on my own, and then I met your fourth uncle who helped me and lent me money to tide me over the difficulties!
I know you still have doubts about me, but please believe me——"
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes sincere, "During the time I've been with Ah He, I've already been moved by him and fallen in love with him. There's no falsehood in the feelings between us, and I've never thought of hurting you. You're like real family to me now."
She spoke very beautifully.
If Li Beiting had not accidentally discovered that she was connected to the shady company that had harmed her adoptive father, Jiang Yao might have actually believed her story.
But he remained calm in front of her, and even followed her words and said, "Okay, for the sake of my fourth uncle, I can reluctantly believe you."
"That's great!" Ji Wanqing said with gratitude, "Yaoyao, I really want to be friends with you. If you need my help, I will definitely do my best."
"Thank you." Jiang Yao smiled back but didn't say much.
After the two reached a temporary reconciliation, they returned to the hall together.
In the evening, the family gathered together and had a happy dinner.
Only a few people were a little absent-minded.
After dinner, several uncles sent their girlfriends home.
Jiang Jinghe's gaze remained on Shu Ya until her figure completely disappeared.
There hadn't been a single word of conversation between them since they met tonight.
He didn't know what Shu Ya thought of him now.
Is it extremely disappointing, or just not caring at all?
If it is the latter, how will they face each other in the future.
"Aha, Aha!" At this moment, Ji Wanqing's familiar voice sounded in his ears.
He suddenly came to his senses and met the other person's worried gaze.
"Sorry, I was a little distracted by what you said just now."
"..." Ji Wanqing pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Are you unhappy tonight? Is it because of me?"
Jiang Jinghe was about to deny it.
Ji Wanqing continued, "Or is it because of your second brother and Miss Shu Ya? Do you care about her a lot?"
Jiang Jinghe's heart trembled.
It was as if the emotions that had been buried deep in his heart had been revealed, and he felt a little at a loss as to what to do.
After a while, he said in a low voice: "You...why do you think so?"
Is his performance really that obvious?
"A person's eyes can't lie. Ever since Miss Shu Ya appeared, your eyes have fallen on her from time to time. I have noticed it more than a dozen times, because my eyes are always on you too." Ji Wanqing seemed a little sad.
Jiang Jinghe suddenly felt guilty and quickly explained: "Wanqing, don't let your imagination run wild. The person I care about in my heart has always been you."
