Chapter 91 Picking Up What You Don’t Want
Old man Li slapped his thigh angrily.
How could such a coincidence and outrageous thing happen?
If he had known this, why would he have risked offending Old Man Jiang and insisted on canceling the engagement with his grandson?
Such a good granddaughter-in-law!
This should have become a good story long ago!
"You, you, didn't investigate thoroughly beforehand, now you're done..."
Old man Li was beating his chest and stamping his feet.
But he quickly remembered their conversation and patted Li Beiting's shoulder.
"Boy, you still have a chance. After all, the Jiang family's granddaughter didn't agree to anyone's request just now! You have to seize it."
Of course Li Beiting knew.
"I never said I was going to give up."
Looking at the light flashing in Li Beiting's eyes, Old Man Li nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, you are indeed a descendant of the Li family, you have great ambition!"
…
Jiang family.
After the banquet, most of the guests had left and the servants began to clean up.
In a corner of the living room, Jiang Lanruo and Yao Yuanxin had not left yet.
Yao Yuanxin's gaze looked through the window and always fell on the direction where Li Beiting left, with an obsession in her eyes.
"Yuanyuan, do you also know Mr. Li?"
Jiang Lanruo noticed her daughter's expression and asked tentatively.
Yao Yuanxin murmured to herself: "We've met twice before..."
Li Beiting's handsome face is hard to forget once you have seen it.
Yao Yuanxin had been attracted to him before, but at that time she didn't know that he was the heir of the Li family and only thought that he was of ordinary status.
Therefore, I buried this thought.
In the concept instilled in her by her mother, she was born to be the darling of the Yao and Jiang families and was destined to marry a man of noble status.
But now she discovered that this man who made her heart beat faster actually had such a close relationship with Jiang Yao, which made her even more jealous and unwilling.
Why should Jiang Yao take away everything that belongs to her!
Jiang Lanruo saw her emotions and a shrewd gleam flashed in her eyes.
When Jiang Yao came in from outside, Jiang Lanruo walked forward with a smile.
"Yaoyao, those two outstanding men surrounded you just now, both of them were very good. Which one did you choose?"
She asked in public, seemingly to express her concern for her, but Jiang Yao could see the calculation in her eyes at a glance.
The Jiang family members at the scene also turned their eyes over.
Faced with this question, Jiang Yao's answer remained the same as before.
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. But right now I just want to focus on my studies and I haven't decided on a partner yet."
"As expected of us Yaoyao, our vision is really high!"
Jiang Lanruo exclaimed in praise twice and then changed the subject.
"But since you're not interested in any of them, why not give it to your sister Yuanyuan? She's also of marriageable age. I think the Li family has good conditions in all aspects. Since you've broken off the engagement, you shouldn't mind letting Yuanyuan choose the one you don't want!"
She said this as if Yao Yuanxin was at a disadvantage and had to choose what she had left.
The expressions of the Jiang family's uncles also changed.
Although they all disliked that boy, after all, from what happened just now, anyone with eyes could see that Li Beiting's attitude towards Jiang Yao was obviously different.
The two have a good relationship.
Even if Yaoyao doesn't like it, she wants it so blatantly. Isn't this just disgusting?
Everyone was about to step forward and speak, but Jiang Yao looked calm and composed.
"That's your business. Why bother asking me, aunt? I can't make the decision for Li Beiting. It's not up to me to decide who he likes."
She answered frankly.
Instead, a hint of embarrassment and awkwardness flashed across Jiang Lanruo's face.
Yao Yuanxin, who was standing by, felt even more humiliated.
It's as if she's trying to get something she doesn't want, but still can't get it!
"alright."
It was Old Master Jiang who noticed that the atmosphere was not right. With a gleam in his eyes, he waved at the mother and daughter.
"It's getting late, you guys should go back! We need to rest."
Jiang Lanruo quickly adjusted her expression and said politely, "Then Uncle, Auntie, Yuanyuan and I will go back first."
Then he took his daughter and turned away.
…
After the people left.
The Jiang family did not go to rest immediately, but sat in the living room, surrounding Jiang Yao.
"Yaoyao, I think the boy from the Qin family is really good today. He's handsome, humorous, and very attentive to you. He's definitely someone you can entrust your life to."
Old Mrs. Jiang spoke first, clearly intending to bring the two together.
"Yeah, that guy is quite fashionable, with a ponytail. If he were in the entertainment industry, he'd be able to outshine a bunch of male celebrities. Of course, the most important thing is that he's attentive to you. I saw his eyes were always on you, always paying attention to your emotions, getting you drinks and handing you food. He's very considerate."
Jiang Jingzhou is worthy of being a director, his observations are also meticulous.
Jiang Yuan also expressed his opinion: "It's okay."
They just thought Jiang Yao said she would focus on her studies to appease Jiang Lanruo, and they didn't know that was actually her attitude.
Knowing that his family members all meant well, Jiang Yao still reiterated.
"Grandma, Uncle, I'm really not interested in love right now. I'm sorry to have let you down."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but when they saw Jiang Yao's serious expression, they were sure that what she said was true.
For a moment, no one dared to speak anymore, and everyone felt a little regretful.
However, Jiang Haozhe remembered Jiang Yao's attitude towards Li Beiting just now and became more cautious.
Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, he quickly probed: "What about Li Beiting? What do you think of him?"
Jiang Yao's heart skipped a beat.
A hint of barely perceptible panic flashed across his face, but he quickly calmed down and asked, "What's the matter, uncle? He's just my senior."
Although she concealed it well, Jiang Haozhe still noticed something unusual.
For a moment, he was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.
That damn brat from the Li family! Sooner or later, he would give him a good beating.
It's not enough that he provoked her niece, he also provoked Yao Yuanxin. He is simply attracting bees and butterflies and is a disaster!
Just wait and see!
"Okay, since Yaoyao has no plans to fall in love right now, we don't need to force it. As long as Yaoyao is healthy and happy every day, that's all that matters."
Finally, when Mr. Jiang spoke, everyone nodded in agreement.
"That's right. Our Yaoyao is still so young. I don't want her to get married."
According to Old Lady Jiang's idea, she initially only planned to find a suitable partner for Jiang Yao. However, if they wanted to get married, it would take at least another three to five years. Only after going through layers of tests and seeing a person's true character over time, could she marry Jiang Yao off with confidence.
Jiang Jingzhou also smiled and said, "Yes, even if she never gets married, we uncles can support her for the rest of her life."
Jiang Yao felt warm inside at the words of his family.
Only when he returned to his room and lay on the bed that night did Jiang Yao have time to think carefully about what had happened at the banquet.
It turned out that Li Beiting was her childhood sweetheart.
This can be considered an unexpected fate.
They also happened to be in the same school, major, and have the same instructor...
Sometimes fate is so wonderful.
However, she remembered that Li Beiting seemed to have someone he liked...
