"Then you can't just bring any woman back! I won't allow it."
"Pfft..." Zhong Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Mr. Jiang, putting aside whether he's with me or not, what you just said really makes you sound like a jealous woman. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Jiang Xiaochen isn't your son, but your wife!"
"You! Jiang Xiaochen, look at her tone and manner of speaking. How is she even remotely compatible with you? Are you blind to insist on being with her?!" Jiang Zhongting was about to explode with anger. Having been contradicted time and time again, how could he pretend nothing had happened? Especially now, with her acting like this, he couldn't help but feel furious.
Zhong Yan shook her head, not wanting to argue with him.
She casually flicked his whip back, all her previous anxiety gone. Even if she were nervous, their attitude would surely wear her down.
"Jiang Xiaochen, let's go."
"Okay!" Jiang Xiaochen wasn't embarrassed at all. Seeing that she looked much more relaxed, he became even happier. As long as she was in a good mood, that was all that mattered.
Jiang Zhongting wanted to chase after him, but Old Master Jiang stopped him and wouldn't let him go forward.
"Father!"
"Can't you see? Xiaochen has probably completely lost heart towards us." Jiang Heping sighed softly, though he hadn't shown any sadness just now.
Jiang Zhongting suddenly fell silent. He knew perfectly well what was going on, but he just couldn't get over it. He felt that he had been devoted to Jiang Xiaochen in everything he did, and that Jiang shouldn't be like this now.
“Father, the Jiang family will be handed over to him sooner or later.”
"Do you think he cares!" Jiang Heping pinched the corner of his eye and sat down weakly to the side. "I think that short woman was not simple. Didn't you have someone keep an eye on them and see what they were doing back here?"
"No, no." Jiang Zhong was quite embarrassed. If he had noticed, he wouldn't have made such a scene last night. Thinking of how she stopped him from hitting her with the whip, he couldn't help but frown.
The Jiang father and son looked at each other, and neither of them spoke again. For a moment, the room was silent.
Jiang Xiaochen naturally had no idea what his grandfather and father were thinking, or in other words, what they were scheming. All he knew was that Zhong Yan couldn't help but smile from the moment she left the house.
Moreover, it's the kind of happiness that keeps increasing!
"what's on your mind?"
"I……"
"You're making fun of me!"
"Yes." Zhong Yan curled the corners of her lips: "Given the obvious situation, why did you bring me back? You don't know, at first, I thought..."
At first, she thought the Jiang family would live a harmonious life...
After all, a personality like Jiang Xiaochen's is not something that could be cultivated in a family like this. Although he often has a bit of a roguish air about him, it cannot be denied that he is often full of sunshine.
Jiang Xiaochen pinched her nose, preventing her from breathing: "Isn't this all to make you completely devoted to me! What if I don't bring you back even when we're at your doorstep? What if you're still petty then? Who can I complain to then!"
Zhong Yan snorted, "Do you think I'm such a petty person? Look at what you're saying, I don't like hearing it. Jiang Xiaochen, who are you looking down on?"
Jiang Xiaochen coughed lightly. Well, it was his own fault for being petty. He didn't even want to give her a chance to think things through, for fear that he might cause her some trouble because of him.
