Chapter 64 An illegitimate son paired with a pretentious woman, not bad...
Yao Fei had arranged to meet Wen Lingshuang at nine o'clock, but Wen Lingshuang didn't arrive until almost ten. When she arrived, she walked in slowly, putting on an affected and pretentious posture, and said while taking off her sunglasses, "Aunt Yao, I'm sorry, the snow was too heavy and there was a traffic jam on the way here."
That sweet and charming voice could melt a man's heart.
When everyone turned around, who else could it be but Wen Lingshuang?
Like Jiang An, she always addressed Yao Fei as Ms. Yao or Aunt Yao, not treating her as her biological mother. To say she was distant was just being polite; in reality, she wouldn't even call her "Auntie."
The people exchanged glances, all revealing a hint of disdain and mockery.
An illegitimate child paired with a pretentious woman—that's quite a match.
Mrs. Xu's husband is the president of Dinghao Group and is very close to Yao Fei. When she heard Wen Lingshuang call Yao Fei "Auntie," her face immediately turned cold. She said, "Jiang An didn't grow up in the Jiang family and didn't receive any education from the Jiang family. It's one thing for him to be rude and ignorant of manners, but Miss Wen was born and raised in the Wen family. How can she be so ill-mannered?"
Wen Lingshuang blinked her big eyes, looking at her innocently, "What do you mean by that, Mrs. Xu?"
"Literally, you're already the Jiang family's daughter-in-law, so you can call Aunt Yao that?"
Yao Fei winked at Mrs. Xu, patted her hand to signal her not to be angry, and then looked at Wen Lingshuang to comfort her, "Don't listen to your Aunt Xu, you can call her whatever you want."
This is how it has always been among wealthy women in the industry. The upper class only associates with the upper class, and others can't fit in. Just like Yao Fei and Mrs. Xu, their relationship is incredibly strong, with feelings and interests intertwined. If others say anything bad about Yao Fei, it's like slapping Mrs. Xu in the face. My mother, Tan Yu, also has close friends, but she has never met anyone as materialistic as Mrs. Xu.
Wen Lingshuang pretended not to hear, turned to Yao Fei, and said coquettishly, "Aunt Yao, are you angry? Are you angry that I'm late?"
Yao Fei remained calm and composed, replying dignifiedly, "No, don't overthink it. With the snow falling so heavily, I was about to call and tell you not to come."
“It’s bound to happen.” Wen Lingshuang smiled and sat closer. “Jiang An and I have been married for over ten days. Logically, we should have come back long ago, but it’s just that it’s cold and I’m too lazy to move. I also had a minor illness a few days ago and was resting in bed. I came back today as soon as I felt a bit better.”
After saying that, he slapped his head dramatically, "Oh dear, I forgot! I was going to bring you and Dad gifts when I came back, but I forgot. Xiao Wang, go back and get them."
Wen Lingshuang called out to the driver outside the door.
Seeing this, Yao Fei patted her hand, "No need, it's enough that you have the thought. Just rest at home today. I'll call Jiang An later and ask him to come over after get off work."
“That works too.” Wen Lingshuang smiled. “I’ll call him and have him come over.”
Do you have any dietary restrictions?
“No.” Wen Lingshuang shook her head. “I eat everything.”
She looked around with curiosity and admiration, "Aunt Yao, your house is so beautiful."
Yao Fei smiled enigmatically, “It can’t compare to your villa in Xihong.”
That should have belonged to her.
Wen Lingshuang pretended not to understand her, "Aunt Yao, which room did Jiang An live in before? I mean before he left the Jiang family and lived in Nanxi Villa."
Everyone in the industry knows that Jiang An has lived in Nanxi Villa for many years.
Some say he was kicked out, others say he committed a crime and went there voluntarily... There are many different opinions, but there is no accurate explanation for this matter. The most accepted explanation among people in the industry is that Jiang An committed a crime and was kicked out, but no one knows what he committed.
Now that Wen Lingshuang has brought up the old matter again, Yao Fei remains unfazed, still smiling as she says, "Want to see?"
After saying that, he waved to the servants not far away, "Yu Hong, take Ling Shuang to see the room where Jiang An used to live."
The maid, Yu Hong, walked over and bowed slightly to Wen Lingshuang.
Wen Lingshuang slowly stood up, charmingly stroking her dark hair, and said, "Then I'll go take a look first, you two chat."
She swayed her slender waist as she walked inside.
After leaving, Mrs. Xu couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Yao Fei, only you have such a good temper."
"Exactly, what kind of behavior is this? It's a waste that Wen Jinye has raised such a daughter, despite all his years of success in the business world."
"If this were my daughter-in-law, I would have been furious to death long ago."
Yao Fei picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said, "They're just kids, do whatever they want. We're all old, don't worry about us too much."
Yu Hong led the way, walking up the Chinese-style spiral staircase. After reaching the second floor and walking about seven or eight meters to the right along the corridor, the master bedroom, facing south, came into view. The layout was excellent, with a walk-in closet, bathtub, toilet, and other basic amenities, as well as a tea room and a terrace, covering an area of at least 500 square meters.
Since Jiang An had never lived here since leaving the Jiang family, the room was empty, with only a few shirts hanging in the closet and a few photos on the wall, proving that Jiang An had lived in this bedroom. Yu Hong introduced from behind, saying how old Jiang An was when he came, how long he lived in this room, and when he left.
At the end, he suddenly paused, looking like he wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
Seeing her like that, Wen Lingshuang raised an eyebrow and said, "Continue talking, why did you stop?"
“After the Third Young Master left, Madam kept this room, saying that one day the Young Master would come back to live here, especially this bed…” She paused slightly, lowered her eyes and said, “Don’t worry, Third Madam, Madam has already dealt with that woman and will not make things difficult for you and the Third Young Master.”
Wen Lingshuang feigned surprise, "What woman?"
Yu Hong was taken aback, her expression slightly flustered. "No, there's no woman."
"Stop pretending! I heard everything!" Wen Lingshuang put her hands on her hips. "Did Jiang An have affairs before he married me?"
"No, no, Third Young Master... he's very chaste, it only happened a few times..."
"How many times has it happened!?" Wen Lingshuang was furious. She instantly lost all interest in continuing to look at houses. She put her hands on her hips and walked towards the door, saying as she went, "I'm so angry! That damned Jiang An is just like other men, messing around before marriage!"
Her voice was booming; you could tell she was furious.
Everyone knows that Wen Lingshuang is big-breasted and carefree. She spends her days spending money on pleasure, going to exhibitions and shopping. Even though her family arranged for her to work at the group, she only works sporadically. If it were a man, he would be no different from those rich second-generation heirs who spend their days indulging in pleasure and playing around with women. He would easily get angry if provoked.
A fire broke out in the backyard.
How could Jiang An possibly fare any better?
What's more, it's this brainless fairy.
The Jiang family home was very large. When Wen Lingshuang came downstairs, Yao Fei was still chatting with her friends. When she reached the bottom of the stairs, she composed herself and walked into the hall with a straight posture. Yu Hong followed behind her and gave Yao Fei a wink when they entered the hall, indicating that everything was in order.
"Aunt Yao."
As soon as Wen Lingshuang sat down, she coquettishly took her arm and said, "I just went to see Jiang An's room."
Yao Fei glanced at Yu Hong and smiled, "How is it?"
“My God, you guys are so good to him.” Wen Lingshuang said with a frown, “Do you know how much I hate illegitimate children? I think illegitimate children are all bad. I was so angry when my dad said he wanted to marry Jiang An. I was thinking why I didn’t marry Jiang Xu or Jiang Qi, but Jiang An.”
He's such a brainless person; he dares to say such things in public.
The wealthy women exchanged glances, each seeing mockery in the other's eyes.
Yao Fei raised an eyebrow slightly, "As for this marriage alliance..."
“I know that we younger generation have no say in the matter. My father insists that I marry him, so I have no choice but to marry him. I’ve always thought that if Jiang An is my father’s illegitimate son, I will be as ruthless as possible. I will make him live in a basement, let him eat leftovers, and it would be best if he dies from illness. I will also find someone to tarnish his reputation and make him unable to hold his head up in his social circle. That way, after my father loses trust in him, I can drive him as far away as possible.”
She finished speaking in one breath, then patted her chest and said, "But I just went to see the room Jiang An used to live in, and it was really wonderful. You've all been so good to him, and as his wife, I really don't know how to thank you enough."
Yao Fei originally thought that Wen Lingshuang was no different from those rich second-generation heirs who indulged in eating, drinking and having fun, except that she had unparalleled beauty.
Big breasts bring no trouble, but no knowledge in the belly.
Judging from his actions just now, he really is a brainless person.
These words...
Is he genuinely brainless, or is he using this as an opportunity to be sarcastic?
Having met so many people, Yao Fei couldn't figure it out for a moment. After a complex look flashed in the depths of her eyes, she smiled and said, "Of course, Jiang An is also a member of the Jiang family."
"Right?" Wen Lingshuang picked up a grape from the coffee table and popped it into her mouth. "That's why I asked him why he lives in Nanxi instead of the Jiang family, but he never gave me a reason. Aunt Yao, why don't you tell me why he doesn't live in the Jiang family?"
If it weren't for all that buildup, Yao Fei would have already brought up the question.
But now that Wen Lingshuang had finished her groundwork, it seemed as if she had deliberately driven Jiang An away when she revealed the real reason for his departure from the Jiang family.
Yao Fei's gaze fell on Yu Hong out of the corner of her eye.
Yu Hong shuddered and dared not answer.
Just now upstairs, this young lady was furious when she heard about Jiang An's messy affairs; she was so angry she wanted to kill him. I don't know why she changed her attitude after coming downstairs.
Yao Fei smiled enigmatically, "Well, if he doesn't say, I can't say either."
"Aunt Yao, you wouldn't be thinking of kicking him out and having someone smear his reputation, would you?"
Wen Lingshuang blinked her innocent big eyes and looked at her, asking.
That beautiful, bright face showed no scheming or calculation; it was as if such a sentence was as simple as eating or drinking, just slipping out of her mouth.
The atmosphere froze instantly because of her words.
Who dares to question Yao Fei like that?
Who would dare to smear Yao Fei without cause?
Mrs. Xu couldn't hold back any longer and was about to speak when Wen Lingshuang suddenly burst out laughing, covering her mouth and saying, "Just kidding, just kidding. Aunt Yao, you're such an upright person, how could you do such a thing?"
Then he looked at the wealthy ladies and said, "Don't spread my joke around. Aunt Yao is the best to Jiang An."
"..."
Yao Fei realized something was wrong.
She subtly pulled her hand away from Wen Lingshuang's embrace and said, "Lingshuang, there's a limit to jokes. Some things should be said, and some things shouldn't be said."
The atmosphere turned a bit cold again.
Wen Lingshuang's smile faded, and she drawled, "I see."
He turned and stared at Mrs. Xu, "Then why didn't Mrs. Xu know this?"
Hearing her suddenly mention herself, Mrs. Xu stared at her intently. "What do you mean?"
"Didn't Aunt Yao explain it clearly? There's a limit to joking. I'm the Jiang family's daughter-in-law. I can listen to what Aunt Yao says about me, but who do you think you are? You scolded me the moment I walked in the door. Do you think I don't have anyone in my family? What right do you have to scold me?"
This girl...
What a clever mouth.
What they didn't know was that Wen Lingshuang had always been an arrogant person, but this arrogant side rarely appeared. If no one provoked her or bothered her, she could sit there quietly. But if anyone provoked her or bothered her, they would not have an easy time. At worst, it would be a fight to the death, and at worst, her parents would back her up.
Moreover, there's Jiang An now.
She's been holding it in for a long time now, ever since she walked in.
If she can't hold it in now, don't blame her.
Mrs. Xu has a high status in the industry and has been used to being respected and admired by others over the years. She never forgets to flatter her wherever she goes. Who would have thought that she would be scolded by Wen Lingshuang like this today? Her anger instantly flared up and she immediately stood up and pointed at her, "Wen Lingshuang, look at your behavior! It's a waste of all the hard work Wen Jinye has put into the business world over the years to have a daughter like you."
"You can talk about me, but why are you talking about my dad!" Wen Lingshuang suddenly stood up, showing no fear of being Mrs. Xu, and retorted, "Who do you think you are..."
The words "things" and "things" hadn't even been uttered yet.
Upon catching sight of the figure at the door, her voice immediately softened, trembling with tears, "It's one thing for you to scold me, but you also scolded my dad! I want to go home... I'm going home right now."
After saying that, he picked up his bag from the sofa and headed for the door.
He had only taken a few steps when he bumped into a hard chest.
She slowly looked up along his chest and saw Jiang An's face. She cried out in grievance, "Jiang An."
Huge tears welled up in her eyes and dripped down, making Jiang An's heart clench with worry.
He pulled her into his arms and gently comforted her.
His sharp gaze then fell upon Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu did not expect Jiang An and Jiang Hanyu to return at this time. She was momentarily stunned by his gaze and felt somewhat intimidated.
But her status and position did not allow her to show weakness, so she could only grit her teeth and look at him.
Jiang Hanyu and Jiang An had heard the argument from the moment it started. It was true that Mrs. Xu had always acted this way over the years. For her husband's sake, Jiang Hanyu didn't want to get involved. Women are always gossipy, and as long as they didn't cause a scene in front of him, he could pretend he didn't know anything.
However, she has now danced in front of him and angered Wen Lingshuang.
He rubbed his temples and looked at Jiang An.
Jiang An's dark eyes were unfathomable, as terrifying as a black pool. He held Wen Lingshuang with one arm and said expressionlessly, "Mrs. Xu."
Just those three words sent chills down Mrs. Xu's spine.
Jiang An is no longer an illegitimate child; he is the rightful head of the Jiang family.
Even her husband had to address him respectfully as Chairman Jiang, whose status was immeasurable. It was only because of Yao Fei's connection that Mrs. Xu dared to say more to Jiang An.
If they were really face to face… Mrs. Xu composed herself and said, “I’m sorry, Jiang An, I had a little disagreement with your wife earlier, but it’s nothing serious, we’ll do it another day…”
“Mrs. Xu,” Jiang An interrupted her again, “Mr. Xu and I haven’t signed the contract yet. I may have to consider finding a different partner. Please go back and tell him that he doesn’t need to come to the company next week to sign documents.”
Jiang An didn't take the initiative to find Mrs. Xu's husband. Instead, he asked Mrs. Xu to go back and tell him that Mr. Xu would understand that the whole thing was caused by his wife.
Tsk.
Jiang An is more cunning than her.
She nestled in his arms and sobbed softly, actually shedding only a couple of tears.
Jiang An looked down and saw her lying there pretending to cry.
The corners of her lips unconsciously turned up.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu's face instantly changed. Her husband had told her that if they could get on Jiang An's good side in the next few years, opening up the international market would be just around the corner. That's why she had such a good relationship with Yao Fei, hoping to use Yao Fei to improve her connection with Jiang An. However, after being high and mighty for so many years, she couldn't help but put on airs when she saw Wen Lingshuang being so outrageous. Who would have thought that she had hit a brick wall?
She looked at Yao Fei.
Yao Fei pretended not to see it and said, "Jiang An is back. I was just about to call you and ask you to come back for dinner."
“I told him to come back early.” Jiang Hanyu said after he hadn’t spoken for a while. “Mrs. Xu, Ling Shuang is our Jiang family’s daughter-in-law. Whether she does something wrong or says something wrong, it is ultimately our Jiang family’s responsibility to teach her. What you said seems to have overstepped your bounds.”
Mrs. Xu's face turned ashen.
The combined pressure of Jiang An and Jiang Hanyu, father and son, would be hard for even seasoned veterans of the industry to withstand.
She knew she had gotten herself into a huge mess, but she didn't know how to clean it up, and she was sweating profusely.
Even though he usually thought highly of himself, he could only lower his head at this moment and say, "I'm sorry, Chairman Jiang, I was rash. I apologize to Ling Shuang, is that alright?"
Wen Lingshuang nestled in Jiang An's arms, her voice trembling with tears, "An apology is worthless."
Unforgiving when one is in the right.
"How about this? I'll invite Ling Shuang to visit my family's mining area another day. If you like anything from the mining area, I'll just give it to you."
"Jiang An bought me a lot of things from the mining area, but I don't care about them at all."
Jiang An looked down at her, and where no one could see, he slipped his hand inside her clothes and pinched her slender waist.
Little devil, when it comes to tormenting people, no one can beat her.
"How about the operating rights for that mining area?" Mrs. Xu asked softly, sweating profusely. "They're very valuable."
Operating rights of the mining area.
Wen Lingshuang rolled her eyes and slightly raised her head to meet Jiang An's dark eyes.
This is good.
She smiled sweetly, her voice trembling with tears, "Alright then, I forgive you. But you're not allowed to talk about my dad or me anymore. Aunt Yao didn't say anything bad about me calling her 'Auntie,' but you scolded me..."
She whimpered and snuggled into Jiang An's arms like a kitten.
Jiang Hanyu's expression also turned cold.
Mrs. Xu inwardly cried out in alarm.
Is Wen Lingshuang truly carefree with her large breasts, or is she doing it on purpose? How did things get so far back to the same point in just a few words?
Yao Fei spoke up at the right moment: "Ling Shuang, I like it when you call me that. Mrs. Xu didn't mean it that way, so don't take it to heart."
She deftly changed the subject, saying, "Since you two are back early today, that's fine. Come and take a look at the menu. This is Ling Shuang's first time visiting, and I don't know what she likes."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and took Wen Lingshuang's hand. "Come on, come on, let's look at the menu. If there's nothing you like, I'll have someone make it."
With a gentle pull, Wen Lingshuang was pulled out of Jiang An's arms.
She glanced at Mrs. Xu, whose face was ashen, thinking that she had escaped once. At the same time, she also thought that Yao Fei was indeed amazing. With just a few words, she could shift people's focus from one point to another. No wonder her mother always said that when a knowledgeable and learned woman gets cunning, several men can't compete with her.
She was pulled toward the kitchen, and the other ladies also left when they saw this.
The kitchen must have a wide variety of fresh ingredients.
Wen Lingshuang wasn't very interested in the dishes. She glanced at them briefly and said they were all fine. She then made an excuse to leave and overheard Jiang Hanyu telling Jiang An to stay at his house for a few more days.
Since moving out of the Jiang family home, Jiang An has never lived there again.
Before she could even speak, Wen Lingshuang laughed and said, "Okay, Dad, then we'll stay here. Don't find us annoying, especially me, I'm always causing trouble."
Jiang Hanyu smiled and said, "How could that be?"
"Then we'll stay in the room Jiang An used to stay in."
Jiang Hanyu paused in his teacup.
Jiang An had always lived in the basement.
"Let's stay on the second floor." He didn't respond to her suggestion. "I'll have someone tidy it up."
Jiang An turned to look at Wen Ling Shuang, his dark eyes showing some surprise.
Who was it that said they wouldn't live with their in-laws after marriage? Why are they now offering to live at the Jiang family's house?
Wen Lingshuang put her arm around Jiang An's arm and said, "Then let's go upstairs and take a look."
Jiang Hanyu nodded, "Okay, let's go take a look. Yu Hong, you lead the way."
Yu Hong stood in the corner the whole time, and her face was still pale when her name was called.
Wen Lingshuang glanced at her, smiled and waved her hand, "No need, I know where it is."
She put her arm around Jiang An and walked upstairs. When they reached the top of the stairs, Jiang An lowered his voice and said, "Yangyang."
"Shh, don't talk." Wen Lingshuang leaned on his arm. "Let's go see our room."
She skillfully led Jiang An to the room that Yu Hong had brought her to earlier.
In Jiang An's memory, this master bedroom belonged to Jiang Xu.
However, Jiang Xu's belongings have now been completely cleaned up, and their original appearance is no longer visible.
Seeing him looking around, Wen Lingshuang locked the door, walked behind him, wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, and said coquettishly, "You scared me to death, Jiang An, your family is so scary."
Hearing her soft, sweet voice, Jiang An chuckled softly, turned around, and hugged her. "I feel like you're showing off to me."
Wen Lingshuang looked up at him and said, "I don't care, you have to give me a reward."
A reward for helping him vent his anger.
Although not many have been released yet.
Jiang An lowered his head slightly and kissed her red lips. "What reward do you want?"
"I haven't decided yet."
Jiang An hugged her and pushed her sweater up.
The warm air seeped into her delicate skin, and before she could react, a large hand covered her breasts.
She let out a soft "ouch" and collapsed against his chest, as limp as water. "You're so strong."
Jiang An's dark eyes grew even deeper. "Comfortable?"
Wen Lingshuang snorted twice.
Like a kitten, it whines and whines.
Jiang An lowered his head and kissed her, biting her red lips, "Don't do this again, you know it hurts me."
