Ziying also said, "Xiaoxun, you're still young. There's no need to get married too early. You must think it through carefully."
They both spoke very gently.
Ye Mingshi laughed out loud, "Jiang Shaoze, you should propose to Jiu Mei first, aren't you getting the procedure wrong? Hahaha..."
Jiu Yebai left Ren Shuai and ran to Jiu Nanxun, saying, "Jiu Nanxun, when we were in the army, I found you a few comrades-in-arms. They are all handsome men over 1.85 meters tall, with good family backgrounds, loyal, no exes, no controlling tendencies, good personalities, and no heart conditions. What's the rush? You're two years younger than me, okay? Take your time to choose."
Upon hearing Jiu Yebai's words, everyone was filled with awe and admiration.
Jiu Yebai is... the number one person to dance in the minefield, right? He stepped precisely on Jiang Shaoze's minefield with every single thing he did.
Jiang Shaoze suddenly looked at Jiu Yebai, a hint of sinister killing intent flashing in his eyes, but Jiu Yebai still noticed it.
Jiu Yebai immediately added, "The key point is that they also take great care of me, their future brother-in-law."
Jiang Shaoze lowered his head slightly, concealing his hostility.
He didn't want to hear even the slightest word against them.
Jiu Nanxun looked at Jiang Shaoze. This guy was probably about to explode with anger. Jiu Nanxun knew his temper all too well.
She quickly shoved Jiu Yebai away, "Get away from me, who asked you to pimp me out?"
"Hey, you..." Jiu Yebai said indignantly, "I'm doing this for your own good. If it were someone else, I wouldn't care."
“Xiao Xun…” Jiang Shaoze forced a smile, “Since you’re not ready, let’s talk about it next time. You play first, I have to take care of something.”
With that, Jiang Shaoze prepared to leave.
Jiu Nanxun suddenly grabbed Jiang Shaoze's hand, "Marriage is definitely out of the question! I don't want to leave home right now..."
Jiang Shaoze nodded. "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Then Jiu Nanxun added, "However, we can get engaged first..."
Jiang Shaoze paused, then his gloomy face quickly lit up with surprise. "Xiao Xun? You're serious?"
Jiu Nanxun nodded. She knew what Jiang Shaoze wanted; he just lacked a sense of security. An engagement... that would be fine.
As for marriage, is she going to Feng City? Can't she stay at home? The union of the Jiu family and the Jiang family is no small matter. Jiu Nanxun doesn't want to become the matriarch of the Jiang family so soon; the thought is terrifying.
Jiang Shaoze immediately sat up straight, and his smile became sunny.
Even Jiu Zhongsheng couldn't help but think that his personality was really too extreme. If Xiao Xun could keep him in check, that would be good.
Jiang Shaoze said, "Then, Uncle Jiu, Aunt Jiu, let's discuss the engagement..."
Jiu Yebai touched his nose and retreated dejectedly, his objections having been in vain.
So today, good news keeps coming one after another; it's not a holiday, but it feels even better than one.
The others lowered their voices, all eavesdropping on the conversation about the engagement.
Mu Jin propped her head up and glanced in the direction of the cat.
But she was sending messages and wasn't paying attention to Jiang Shaoze.
...
The news spread quickly, and that very evening, Old Madam Mu learned that Jiang Shaoze was going to get engaged to Jiu Nanxun.
Madam Mu, who had been elegant her whole life, was so angry that she slammed her fist on the table.
"That Jin the Second is really something! He clearly rescued the cat's mother, so why did he keep it a secret and not tell me sooner!"
I've already prepared the engagement invitations. All that's left is to settle things with the Jiu family so I can make the arrangements. And now, that Jiang family brat has beaten me to it! It's infuriating!"
"If Ye Mingshi hadn't gone back and told Old Man Ye, and if Old Man Ye hadn't told her that Jin Erzi was planning to keep it from me! That child..."
Seeing that the old man was getting a little angry, the butler advised, "Perhaps it was an unexpected event. The Jiang family's son proposed marriage, so he certainly wouldn't have discussed it with Young Master Jin and the others. Young Master Jin definitely didn't know beforehand."
Madam Mu: "You don't need to speak up for him. The Jiang family's boy is gloomy and unruly, and not likable, but he's very diligent in pursuing his wife. In the end, it's still Jin Er who's too slow!"
The housekeeper could only listen to Madam Mu's scolding without interrupting.
The phone vibrated. The butler glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Young Master Jin. He walked over to answer it.
The first thing Mu Jin asked was, "What is the old lady doing?"
The butler said, "He's cursing you."
Mu Jin seemed to have guessed, "Are you done cursing?"
The butler glanced over there. "Still cursing... You'd better not come back these next couple of days."
Mu Jin replied, "I'm already on my way and will arrive in twenty minutes."
After hanging up the phone, the housekeeper told the news to Madam Mu.
Madam Mu was still angry. "He still knows to come back. That's good. I want to ask him what he's thinking."
Soon after, Mu Jin and Maomao arrived.
Grandma Mu sat upright in her wheelchair, as if she had been waiting for them. She first looked at Maomao with a smile and said, "Maomao, there's a shawl on my bed in my bedroom. Could you go and get it for me?"
"Oh." The cat nodded.
After sending Maomao away, Old Madam Mu immediately looked at Mu Jin with an unfriendly expression: "Second son Jin, what are you going to say to me this time? Originally, you and Maomao could have gotten engaged immediately and married on a chosen date, but now, the Jiang family boy has beaten you to it!"
Everything has to be postponed; my eldest grandson is waiting! You better hurry up and get things moving!
Mu Jin sat on the sofa and looked at Old Madam Mu. "After Jiang Shaoze and Jiu Nanxun got engaged, who knows when they'll get married? Besides, it's none of my business if he gets married."
Madam Mu frowned: "Of course there's something to discuss! The Mu family hasn't had a major celebration in years, and I really like that child, Maomao. Your wedding must be the grandest ever!"
But I can't disregard the Jiu family's reputation. They have two daughters getting married; I can't let outsiders compare them and indirectly cause the younger Jiu daughter to suffer. We have to stagger the weddings, but who knows how long we'll have to wait if we do!
Mu Jin rubbed her temples. "You're overthinking it."
Madam Mu didn't think she was overthinking it. "It's not too much at all, it's still a small amount."
Madam Mu took a sip of tea, then suddenly paused. "By the way, what did you just say? After the Jiang family boy gets engaged, who knows when he'll get married?"
