As everyone was discussing this, they saw Qin Haiyang with a fawning smile on his face, bowing and scraping as he stepped forward to open the car door for the person.
But no one got off the bus.
Soon, a young man who looked about five-tenths like Jiang Jiahua got out of the car and stood in front of Qin Haiyang, asking the people in the car to get out. Only then did a man in his fifties wearing a suit get out of the car.
Immediately after, a woman also around fifty years old, wearing a cheongsam and very well-maintained, got off the bus.
When the people in the courtyard saw this, they immediately started talking about it.
"Oh, it really is the eldest son of the Jiang family back. Are those his father-in-law and mother-in-law getting out of the car?"
"I don't know, it looks like..."
...
While everyone was still speculating, Jiang Jiahua was already smiling obsequiously, like a servant, inviting the person into the house.
“Mr. Jiang, please have some tea. I heard from Yongxian that you like to drink pre-rain Longjing tea, so I specially asked someone to bring it for you. Please try it and see if it tastes right.”
Jiang Guozhi nodded politely, "Director Jiang, you're too kind."
On the other side, Peng Cuiying also started chatting with Bai Yuzhu, "Mrs. Jiang, you see, people from the capital are really different. When you got out of the car just now, your whole demeanor was so impressive. If it were decades ago, I would have thought I was meeting the Empress Dowager!"
Peng Cuiying thought she had flattered him exceptionally well.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yuzhu's face immediately darkened.
Jiang Yongxian, who was sitting next to Peng Cuiying, quickly nudged her and whispered, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Peng Cuiying also realized that she had gone too far with her words.
If this had happened a few years earlier, and someone with ulterior motives had reported her for this, it would have been enough to drag her out for criticism and struggle.
Although the situation has improved in recent years, we still cannot be careless.
She quickly chuckled sheepishly and slapped her mouth, saying awkwardly, "Look at me, I can't keep my mouth shut, I just say whatever comes to mind. Mrs. Jiang, please don't mind!"
Bai Yuzhu politely curled the corners of her lips and smiled slightly.
Jiang Guozhi didn't exchange many pleasantries with Jiang Jiahua and quickly got straight to the point: "Director Jiang, to be honest, my wife and I came to Yun County this time to thank your daughter and son-in-law for helping my youngest son."
Secondly, it's also because of the cement factory here; I'm sure Haiyang has already told you about that.
Therefore, I would like to ask Director Jiang to arrange for us to meet with your eldest son-in-law as soon as possible to discuss the cement factory matter.
Jiang Jiahua was inwardly apprehensive, but he had no choice but to readily agree, "Okay, Mr. Jiang, don't worry, I'll tell Qiaoqiao and Beixiao later."
After Jiang Jiahua agreed to the matter, Jiang Guozhi and Bai Yuzhu did not intend to stay at their house any longer. Just as they were about to leave, Jiang Yiran came downstairs.
"Dad, Mom..."
Jiang Yiran had just greeted Jiang Jiahua and Peng Cuiying when she saw Jiang Yongxian, Jiang Guozhi, and Bai Yuzhu sitting in the living room.
She had never met Jiang Guozhi and Bai Yuzhu in her previous life, but at this moment, she could guess their identities just by looking at their clothes and aura.
She was instantly overcome with emotion, her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at Jiang Yongxian, "Big brother, you're finally back!"
After saying that, she quickly ran towards Jiang Yongxian.
Jiang Yongxian instinctively reached out a hand to support her. "Ranran, be careful. You're pregnant, running so fast, aren't you afraid of hurting the baby?"
Jiang Yiran smiled innocently, "Ranran hasn't seen her older brother for so many years. I was so happy to see him that I forgot I was pregnant!"
After saying that, she blinked and looked at Jiang Guozhi and Bai Yuzhu with an innocent expression, "Are Uncle and Auntie my sister-in-law's parents?"
Jiang Guozhi and Bai Yuzhu were both stunned when they saw Jiang Yiran.
For no other reason than that Jiang Yiran and Bai Yuzhu look so alike.
Now that Bai Yuzhu is getting older, her appearance is somewhat different from when she was young, so it's not that they look very similar.
But both of them knew that Jiang Yiran looked exactly like Bai Yuzhu when she was young.
At this moment, Jiang Yiran did not notice anything unusual about the way Jiang Guozhi and Bai Yuzhu were looking at her.
She looked at Bai Yuzhu with amazement and said, "Auntie is so beautiful..."
Before she could finish praising her, Bai Yuzhu had already grabbed her arm.
Seeing the woman's tearful and excited expression, Jiang Yiran was momentarily confused about her intentions and awkwardly called out, "Auntie..."
Bai Yuzhu came to her senses, composed herself, and said, "You must be Ranran! Chengzhi told us about how you helped us."
"Auntie, thank you so much! Thank you so much!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yiran was overjoyed. Indeed, helping Jiang Chengzhi was the best decision she had ever made.
She said modestly, "Auntie, you're too kind. Chengzhi is such a good young man. Even if it wasn't me who saw him, but someone else, they would definitely have helped him."
Bai Yuzhu held Jiang Yiran's hand tightly, reluctant to let go. As she spoke, she took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Jiang Yiran's hand.
He also said to Jiang Jiahua and Peng Cuiying, "Director Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, you have raised your daughter very well. I liked her the moment I saw her."
Peng Cuiying and Jiang Jiahua were overjoyed to hear Bai Yuzhu's words. Peng Cuiying proudly said, "That's right. Ranran was our only precious daughter. Not to mention her father and me, even her three older brothers doted on her like she was made of glass."
"You only have one daughter, Ranran?" Jiang Guozhi and Bai Yuzhu were both puzzled when they heard Peng Cuiying's words.
Peng Cuiying realized she had blurted out something, smiled awkwardly, and looked to Jiang Jiahua for help.
This time, Jiang Jiahua didn't blame Peng Cuiying.
Anyway, everyone knows about Jiang Qiaoqiao and Jiang Yiran's background; it's no secret anymore.
Jiang Jiahua recounted the backgrounds of his two daughters.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Guozhi and Bai Yuzhu could hardly contain their excitement.
Bai Yuzhu couldn't help but grab Peng Cuiying's hand and excitedly ask, "Mrs. Jiang, when is Ranran's birthday?"
Peng Cuiying was startled by Bai Yuzhu's sudden actions and questions.
Bai Yuzhu realized she had gotten too excited, smiled, regained her composure, and eased the awkwardness by saying, "It's mainly because Ranran and I get along well. I was thinking of asking her birthday and seeing if she would be willing to be my goddaughter."
As soon as Bai Yuzhu finished speaking, Jiang Rou's cold and hateful gaze shot towards Jiang Yiran.
But only for a moment, and she immediately averted her gaze.
