When Lu'er saw her, she was surprised and happy, and hurried to explain after hearing this.
"Miss Jiang, that's great. I didn't expect to see you here. It's really easy to get what you want. My lady is fine."
Jiang Xueying didn't understand what he meant, and asked, "I'm glad you're okay, but shouldn't you be serving Simin? Why are you out at this hour? Why are you so flustered? What happened?"
When Lu'er heard her question, the joy on her face of finding someone suddenly disappeared, and her eyes were full of anxiety and worry.
"Oh, Miss Jiang, don't mention it. I came out this time just to find you. The family that wants to marry you has arrived and is now waiting in the main hall to propose marriage. The master asked the young lady to go out to meet the guests, but she refused. Now she is arguing with the master. I really don't know what to do. I can only come to Miss Jiang for help. Miss Jiang and my young lady are close friends. Now the young lady won't listen to anyone. I'm afraid you are the only one who can persuade her. I'm afraid that the young lady is so stubborn. What if something happens?"
Lu'er was also loyal to her master, and she became worried when she mentioned this matter, especially after experiencing Chen Simin's suicide, she became more and more unsure of the young lady's temper.
After hearing what she said, Jiang Xueying also realized the seriousness of the matter. She knew Chen Simin's character. She was the most stubborn. She dared to hang herself before the engagement. Now that someone has come to the mansion to propose marriage, it is hard to say what stupid thing she will do.
Thinking about it carefully, Jiang Xueying couldn't help but become worried.
She took a deep breath, her thoughts turned around in her mind, and she tried to calm herself down. Then she said to Lu'er, "Okay, I understand. Let's go see your young lady as soon as possible. I hope nothing happens."
"Oh, okay, okay."
Lu'er had no idea what to do now, so when she heard her say that, she immediately agreed.
The two of them quickly rushed to Chen's house.
Under the guidance of Lu'er, the head maid, they entered smoothly through the back door.
As Jiang Xueying approached Chen Simin's boudoir, she just happened to hear the fierce argument between Chen Simin and Master Chen coming from inside.
"Minmin, don't be so willful. The betrothal gifts have already been brought here. How can you just say you don't want to see them? How can I live like this in the future? Minmin, why can't you think about me?"
The voice belonged to Mr. Chen, and he sounded very worried, which showed that this matter was very difficult for him.
“Bang!”
There was a sound of porcelain breaking, accompanied by Chen Simin's sharp rebuttal.
"If I say you don't want to see me, then you don't want to see me. If you want to see me, go ahead. This is not what I want in the first place. It's a marriage that I was forced to have. I don't want to see them! I always say I want you to consider me, but have you ever considered me? Do you really want me to live a miserable life?"
"You...you unfilial daughter, I have raised you for so many years in vain!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xueying hurriedly pushed the door open.
There were broken porcelain furniture all over the floor in the room. Mr. Chen and his daughter Chen Simin were confronting each other without giving in. Their eyes were red and they were quite emotional.
When the two saw Jiang Xueying come in, they restrained their tempers a little and turned their heads away without looking at each other!
Upon seeing this, Jiang Xueying immediately stepped forward and held Chen Simin's arm. Seeing that her pale face was covered with tears and her body was a little shaky, she couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Si Min, why are you doing this? Don't get yourself hurt by being angry, and don't get angry with your father. So, you can go meet them. The marriage may not be finalized, but you have to see what kind of person they are before you can make a decision, right?"
But Chen Simin was so excited that she couldn't understand Jiang Xueying's meaning at all.
Not only did she refuse to listen, she even thought that Jiang Xueying was her father's lobbyist and adopted an extreme approach.
"Impossible! I can't possibly go to see them. If you force me to go, I will die in front of you right now, and you can carry my body to see them!"
After saying this, she excitedly picked up a piece of porcelain from the ground and pretended to cut her throat.
Jiang Xueying was quick to stop the person and snatch the porcelain piece from her hand.
"Si Min, what are you doing? Have you forgotten what I told you? You can't joke with your own life!"
Mr. Chen was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees. He was relieved only when he saw Jiang Xueying snatch the porcelain piece.
"Minmin, don't be impulsive. You must not be impulsive, silly child. Don't joke with your life!"
Poor Mr. Chen, despite his deep fatherly love, could not care about anything else when he saw his own daughter threatening to commit suicide. He did not want to force her to meet anyone, but he was unable to deal with the people who came to propose marriage. At the moment, he was in a dilemma and his face was filled with sorrow.
Jiang Xueying couldn't bear to see the two of them quarreling like this, so she thought for a moment before standing up.
"How about this, Master Chen, it's definitely not okay for Simin to meet the guests in her current state. I know you're in a difficult situation, so why don't you let me meet the guests on Simin's behalf and get this matter over with first, and then we can make a long-term plan later."
Jiang Xueying made a suggestion. At the moment, Chen Simin would rather die than see guests. If she forced her, it would definitely not work. If she pretended, she could deal with it. Besides, she could also see what kind of person the other party was and why Mr. Chen insisted on letting Chen Simin marry him.
Mr. Chen was slightly startled, with some hesitation in his eyes.
"This... Is this possible? If the other party finds out that you are a fake, I'm afraid they will not give in. Then..."
Jiang Xueying had already prepared a response to this.
"It's okay. I'll just put on a veil and say I caught a cold recently. They're just proposing marriage. They can't force me, who has a cold, to take off my veil. I just need to show my face to show the Chen family's attitude."
Mr. Chen thought it made sense, and looking at Chen Simin's expression, he felt that this was the only way now.
So he gritted his teeth, clenched his fist, and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, Miss Jiang, thank you for your help."
"It's okay. Simin is my good friend. You helped me without any effort. This is just a piece of cake."
Moreover, she can use this opportunity to see what kind of family the proposer is, and then think of a strategy to deal with it.
Without further ado, Mr. Chen quickly arranged for someone to help Jiang Xueying wash and change her clothes, and put on a thick veil so that her face could not be seen clearly.
After everything was prepared, Mr. Chen took Jiang Xueying out to meet the guests.
Arriving at the main hall, Jiang Xueying finally saw the rival that Mr. Chen had been trying so hard to bring together.
"Manager Ma, sorry to have kept you waiting!"
The moment Mr. Chen saw the leader, he immediately went up to greet him enthusiastically, smiling shyly as if trying to please him.
Seeing Mr. Chen's expression, Jiang Xueying frowned instantly. It seemed that Mr. Chen really attached great importance to this family.
