Chapter 171 You are not worthy to marry him!
"Huh? Where do we look?" Lin Xi asked blankly. "We can't exactly go to her house, can we?"
“Why not?” Bai Tiantian said excitedly. “If she’s being unreasonable, then we should go talk to her parents. I just want to know who allowed her to be so arrogant.”
Bai Tiantian missed the fight between Lin Xi and Xiang Lei, and she regretted it all night.
If she had been there, she would definitely have teamed up with Xixi to beat Xiang Lei to a pulp.
When Lin Xi was on the phone, she leaned close and heard Xiang Lei's words clearly. After talking for a while, it seemed that she was only relying on Brother Jingming.
Haha, just kidding. She knows very well what kind of person Jingming is. What is Xiang Lei anyway?
"But we don't know where Xiang Lei lives!" Lin Xi felt that Bai Tiantian's suggestion was a bit unreliable, and chasing after her to fight was going too far.
“We don’t know, but Jingming definitely does,” Bai Tiantian took Lin Xi’s phone and found Zhou Jingming’s contact information. “Let’s call Jingming.”
"This isn't a good idea..."
Lin Xi tried to stop her but failed. Bai Tiantian had already dialed Zhou Jingming's number, and it was answered after only two rings.
"Xixi, what's the matter?" Zhou Jingming asked gently.
"Brother Jingming, it's me, Tiantian," Bai Tiantian said with a grin. "I wanted to ask for Xixi if you know where Xiang Lei lives."
"Oh, it's Tian Tian," Zhou Jingming said, his voice now tinged with wariness. "Are you looking for Xiang Lei?"
“That’s right, Xixi and I are going to find her now,” Bai Tiantian said. “Brother Jingming, if you don’t know, just ask your sister-in-law. Xiang Lei is her cousin, she must know, right?”
After Bai Tiantian finished speaking, there was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone. "Xiang Lei's family is at Yan Yan's house. Yan Yan and I are just about to go over. You..."
Sensing Zhou Jingming's hesitation, Bai Tiantian immediately replied, "Then let's go over there too, and resolve this matter in front of her parents."
"Jingming, send me and Xixi your location. Bye, see you later."
Bai Tiantian hung up the phone.
“Jingming,” Jiang Yan said, sitting in the passenger seat, feeling uneasy, “why did you let Xixi and the other girl come to my house? What if they start fighting?”
Jiang Yan frowned. The thought of going home and facing her mother and uncle's family was already giving her a headache. If two more junior classmates came, she couldn't imagine how chaotic her home would become.
Zhou Jingming certainly had his own ideas. He had met his wife's uncle's family before, and they were the unreasonable type. Otherwise, they wouldn't have raised Xiang Lei to be like that.
Jiang Yan's mother-in-law is also unreasonable, always prioritizing her own family and making Jiang Yan suffer in everything.
He, as a man, couldn't offend his elders if he went along alone, nor could he bear to see his wife suffer. Perhaps if Lin Xi and Bai Tiantian came, they could act as mouth-suckers.
Those two girls are quite sharp-tongued, especially Bai Tiantian, who dares to say anything and can put their arrogance to a minimum.
“Honey, this matter needs to be resolved sooner or later. Besides, they called you back because of this, so it would be better to call the parties involved over and clarify things completely.”
Zhou Jingming handed his phone to Jiang Yan, "Could you send Xixi your home address for me, so they can get there as soon as possible?"
Jiang Yan couldn't refuse Zhou Jingming, so she had no choice but to send the home's location to Lin Xi.
After receiving the location, Lin Xi took a deep breath. She hadn't expected that Brother Zhou would actually send her the location.
"Xixi, let's go now!" Bai Tiantian pulled Lin Xi and walked out.
"Sweetie, we still have a long class." Lin Xi was pulled away from the classroom by Bai Tiantian; she didn't want to skip class.
"It'll be late by the time class is over, and who knows if Xiang Lei will run away," Bai Tiantian comforted Lin Xi. "Next class is PE, didn't you forget?"
Physical education class, huh? Okay, Lin Xi quickened her pace and jogged out of Jiangda University's gate with Bai Tiantian, hailing a taxi.
...
Jiang Yan and Zhou Jingming opened the door and entered the Jiang family home.
Jiang's mother and Xiang Lei's family were all sitting in the living room waiting for them. When the two of them entered, Jiang's mother glared at Xiang Lei and said, "You still know how to come back to this house!"
"Mom, Uncle, Aunt," Jiang Yan greeted them indifferently.
"Auntie." Zhou Jingming called out to Jiang's mother, then nodded slightly to Jiang Yan's uncle's family as a greeting.
"Jingming, please sit down. Aren't you busy today? How could Jiang Yan have the nerve to call you here?" Jiang Yan's uncle fawned over Zhou Jingming, offering him a seat.
"Brother Jingming," Xiang Lei was pushed next to Zhou Jingming by her mother, and she greeted him somewhat awkwardly, "Please sit down, I'll get you some water."
Zhou Jingming was led to sit in the middle of the sofa. He wanted to invite Jiang Yan to sit with him, but Jiang's mother called Jiang Yan to another room.
As soon as she entered the room, Jiang's mother slapped Jiang Yan across the face, demanding, "Where did you go last night?"
Jiang Yan covered her slapped face and looked at her mother in surprise. "Mom, you slapped me without saying a word. Was it to get back at Xiang Lei?"
“That’s right,” Jiang’s mother glared at her fiercely, “Who told you to hit Leilei? How dare you? Do you think you can hit Leilei?”
“She was rude, so what’s wrong with me teaching her a lesson?” Jiang Yan retorted. “She dares to mess with anyone. If we continue to tolerate her like this, she’ll get into big trouble sooner or later, and she might even drag us down with her.”
"How Leilei is is none of your business. Someone will back her up and protect her," Jiang's mother scoffed. "You just need to mind your own business."
"Go apologize to Leilei in a little while and make her slap you back twice. That will calm your uncle and aunt down."
"Mom, what are you saying?" Jiang Yan could hardly believe what she was hearing. "I'm your own daughter, how could you treat me like this? Why?"
"Why so many questions? Just do what I'm told and stop talking nonsense," Jiang's mother said impatiently.
“I did nothing wrong, I won’t apologize,” Jiang Yan’s chest heaved, she felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger. “And why did you call Jingming and say that I didn’t want to get married and didn’t like overly intimate contact? What were you thinking?”
"Of course I'm doing this for your own good," Jiang's mother sneered. "Are you so shameless that you absolutely have to sleep with men?"
"Mom, what are you saying?" Jiang Yan was shocked. "I just want to marry Jingming and live a normal life. How is that degrading!"
"What marriage?" Jiang's mother's voice was as cold as ice. "I do not agree to your marriage with Zhou Jingming. I will not let you marry Zhou Jingming."
"Why? Haven't you always been very satisfied with Jingming? He's so outstanding, what is it about him that you're not satisfied with?" Jiang Yan asked, her eyes wide.
Jiang's mother curled her lips into a smile, "It's precisely because he's too good and too outstanding that you're not worthy of marrying him!"
