Jiang Xianyu couldn't say anything, because over the years, the Jiang family had grown and prospered step by step in this way.
The development of a family involves too many people, and every step must be carefully planned. If there is any mishap, the family will be eliminated by other families or by the times.
He simply couldn't object to the arranged marriage.
"I haven't graduated from university yet, so I'm not considering marriage for now. Let's talk about these things later."
Jiang Xianyu responded calmly.
"I know you're not in a rush to get married, but we can start looking for someone first. What if a daughter from another family marries into another family?"
Jiang Xianyu's mother did not give up.
"Who dares to look down on the Jiang family? If we want to form a marriage alliance, it's a piece of cake. So, you don't need to bind me with marriage in advance. I know what I'm doing and I know how to proceed step by step. If you're too idle, why don't you go on a trip abroad?"
Jiang Xianyu's tone was somewhat unpleasant.
Jiang's father, who had come over, also heard it.
His parents looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing his words.
Not long ago, Jiang Xianyu inherited a portion of his grandfather's shares, and now his control over the group has greatly increased, as has his influence.
Jiang Xianyu's parents used to show their son contempt and coldness in ways they shouldn't have, and even punish him. But after Jiang Xianyu gained more shares, they no longer dared to treat him that way.
In the end, neither of them said anything more.
Jiang Xianyu is right. No one dares to easily marry into another family and offend the Jiang family. Everyone has to follow the unspoken rules in the industry.
“Your mother and I won’t be attending your birthday party in a couple of days. We don’t need to follow you to all sorts of banquets every day,” Jiang’s father said.
The news that Jiang Xianyu was going to hold a birthday party surprised his family.
The Jiang family has always been aloof and rarely holds banquets, only inviting distinguished guests. However, now that Jiang Xianyu is older, his family doesn't want to restrict him too much, so they tacitly approve of his idea.
“Okay, I’ll handle everything. You don’t need to worry about it,” Jiang Xianyu said.
Meanwhile, Su Yuyao's life was in complete chaos.
He had grown accustomed to Jiang Tian's cooking, but now that she was unable to cook due to a cold, he found the food almost inedible. He put down his chopsticks, somewhat annoyed, and looked at the housekeeper.
"How did she catch a cold?"
“Miss Jiang wanted to work at the coffee shop, and we didn’t stop her. The coffee shop is very busy, and she’s been working a lot. It’s also gotten colder recently, and her clothes are all very thin. We couldn’t provide her with ordinary clothes, so she caught a cold.”
Su Yuyao could hardly believe his ears. Living in a big villa, Jiang Tian actually caught a cold? It was utterly absurd.
Have you seen a doctor?
"I saw it and they said it's nothing serious, just keep warm and take medicine for a few days."
What is she doing now?
"She's receiving an IV drip."
Su Yuyao stood there for a while, hesitating repeatedly, but he still couldn't suppress his concern and went to Jiang Tian's bedroom door to knock.
"...Who is it?" Jiang Tian's hoarse voice came from inside.
"I'm Su Yuyao. I heard you had a cold, so I came to see you."
Jiang Tian clearly hadn't expected it to be him. Her voice was hesitant: "Young Master Su, I've caught a cold and might not be able to get close to you. Is there anything I can do for you? I'll help you once I've recovered."
Su Yuyao almost laughed out of anger. Did Jiang Tian think he was so heartless? He was sick and still wanted her to help him with chores. Without further hesitation, he pushed open the door.
Jiang Tian was pale and thin, curled up on the bed, looking extremely haggard and pitiful.
Su Yuyao felt a pang of unease: "Don't you have any warm clothes yourself?"
“You said that we could only wear the clothes you specified in this villa.”
Su Yuyao sneered angrily: "Why didn't you say that when you talked back to me before? It's clearly because you don't take care of your own body."
Jiang Tian did not deny it.
If she doesn't deny it, the argument won't start.
Just then, Su Yuyao's phone rang. He saw it was Jiang Xianyu calling and answered it irritably, "What is it now?"
"Is everything prepared for the banquet? Has Jiang Tian chosen her dress yet?"
"What's it to you? Didn't you delete her contact information? Why do you still care about her? We're boyfriend and girlfriend, who do you think you are?" When Su Yuyao was in a bad mood, he spoke without thinking.
Jiang Xianyu was silent for a moment before saying, "Who upset you? I'm talking to you about serious matters, and you're giving me this attitude. I thought you'd lost your mind."
"My girlfriend has a cold, and I'm taking care of her. I'm in a bad mood, you get the idea?"
Jiang Xianyu frowned: "She has a cold?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
Su Yuyao hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
This phone call made Su Yuyao even angrier, but he had nowhere to vent his anger. Looking at Jiang Tian who was silently watching him, he suppressed his anger and only said, "You should rest well. Don't worry, I won't bother you while you have a cold, and I won't let anyone else affect you. I'm not that despicable."
Su Yuyao thought that everything would be fine after hanging up on Jiang Xianyu, but to his surprise, Jiang Xianyu rang his doorbell less than two hours later.
Upon seeing Jiang Xianyu, Su Yuyao almost lost his composure: "What do you mean? What are you doing here?"
"It's been a long time since I've been to your house. Can't I come and visit?" Jiang Xianyu walked in casually.
Su Yuyao stopped him: "I hope you can respect everyone's private space. I have a girlfriend now, so you need to respect me even more. Is respect so difficult? If it's convenient, please leave now."
Jiang Xianyu remained silent for a few seconds, his face showing an unusual coldness: "I'm taking Jiang Tian away."
Su Yuyao's expression changed drastically!
Jiang Xianyu's voice was calm: "I've thought about it, and I still can't just stand by and watch Jiang Tian suffer because of me. If you hadn't noticed my unusual feelings for her before, she wouldn't have been forced to date you, and she wouldn't have been left without anyone to care for her when she had a cold. I have to take responsibility for her."
"Name your terms. How can I get you to agree to let me take her away?"
Arabian Nights.
Su Yuyao almost laughed out of anger when he heard this.
Looking at Jiang Xianyu's appearance, his anger suddenly flared up.
Su Yuyao almost gritted his teeth as he said, "What makes you think you can take her away? She's my girlfriend now, and it's none of your business to tell her what to do! Can't you learn respect?!"
Jiang Xianyu's handsome face was filled with confidence: "Then go ask her, ask her who she wants to go with. Respecting the parties involved is the fairest way. I want you to give her the choice... Do you dare?"
Su Yuyao laughed angrily: "Jiang Xianyu, have you forgotten that you were the one who abandoned her and cut off contact with her several times?"
Jiang Xianyu's face remained expressionless: "So I want her to choose for herself, to see if she'd rather choose you or me, the one who has abandoned her so many times."
