Chapter 48 Of course I will marry her
When we arrived at the old house, we saw a lot of luxury cars parked in the front yard.
Both old people in the He family like quietness. Since Mr. He retired, there are very few outsiders visiting their home.
Last year was an integer year, so we had a big birthday party. This year, we gave advance notice and just had a small gathering at home, with only close relatives and friends coming.
The car stopped, He Yanting got out first and walked around to Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu didn't want to go with him and wanted to get off the car quickly, but she didn't expect him to be so fast. Before her feet touched the ground, He Yanting's hand reached out.
There were a few relatives watching in front, so Jiang Xu had no choice but to put his hand on it.
He Yanting held her hand tightly and asked, "You're sweating so much, are you nervous?"
Jiang Xu pursed her lips: "No."
He Yanting curled his lips: "You never lie, why don't you let me tell you later."
Jiang Xu had no objection to this, but she still felt a little psychologically burdened about deceiving her grandparents.
"OK."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard He Yanting laughing.
Jiang Xu glared at him and tried to withdraw her hand, but He Yanting grabbed it tightly: "Don't move, grandma is coming."
Mrs. He came over with a smile: "I saw our Ruanruan on the second floor."
Jiang Xu said in a soft voice, "Grandma."
"Hey, sweetie!"
Old Madam He grabbed Jiang Xu and glanced at He Yanting's hand. "Are you reluctant to let go?"
He Yanting said calmly, "I have to let go even if I'm reluctant. I can't just steal your love from you, grandma."
As he said that, he let go of Jiang Xu's hand.
Old Madam He looked disgusted as she walked into the house with Jiang Xu on her arm, asking as she walked, "Ruanruan, has Yan Ting bullied you recently?"
Jiang Xu shook his head: "No."
"Don't think about him in everything. Men can't be spoiled. If you are angry, just say it out. You are embarrassed to hit him, but I, your grandma, am embarrassed!" said Mrs. He with full energy.
Jiang Xu smiled: "Really not, he's very good."
"Really?" Old Mrs. He looked at He Yanting suspiciously.
As he was speaking, there was a commotion outside the gate and several cars came in.
The leading car stopped and Lin Yue got out. Another person got out from the back seat. She was wearing a slim white dress and had long flowing hair, looking very adorable.
Old Madam He frowned: "Why did you bring her here? What bad luck!"
Jiang Xu turned around and saw that it was Jiang Xueruo.
If there is anyone in the world who hates Jiang Xueruo besides her and her mother, it must be Old Lady He.
First, she hated Jiang Minghuai's cheating, and second, she was disgusted by Jiang Xueruo and her daughter's shamelessness and their usurpation of someone else's position.
Her classic quote: "Jiang Xueluo, that little bitch, looks so weak and pitiful, just like her mistress. You can tell she's not a good person at first glance."
At this point, Jiang Xu had to admit that Old Lady He had a sharp eye.
Several cars stopped, and they were all He Yanting's good brothers. They were all dressed neatly and looked very noble. Any one of them who walked out was a rare talent.
But as soon as she stood next to He Yanting, her brilliance was instantly overshadowed.
"Fourth brother."
Lin Yue and the others came over and greeted them warmly, "Is it okay to bring this girl here?"
"Brother Yanting, I prepared a gift for Grandpa He."
Jiang Xueruo looked at He Yanting cautiously.
He Yanting nodded: "Thank you for your kindness. Come in."
Jiang Xueruo breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you would blame me for coming uninvited."
He Yanting said: "You are filial to grandpa, how can I blame you."
Lin Yue smiled and said, "I was wondering why Fourth Brother would be willing to blame you. He's so happy that you're so kind!"
"That's right, Xue Ruo is too thoughtful. If she keeps thinking about this, Fourth Brother will be distressed."
Zhuang Ze joined in the joke.
They spoke very loudly, and Jiang Xu could vaguely hear them, but Mrs. He was old and hard of hearing, so she couldn't hear clearly.
She frowned and asked, "Ruanruan, what did they say?"
Jiang Xu said calmly, "Nothing."
At this time, Lin Yue and others came over and greeted Mrs. He one by one.
Mrs. He was kind and gentle until Jiang Xueluo came forward and said sweetly, "Hello, grandma. Do you still remember me? I'm Jiang Xueluo."
"Oh, Jiang Xueruo, of course I remember."
Mrs. He nodded. Jiang Xueruo just showed a surprised expression when she heard the old lady say, "Isn't it the illegitimate daughter that Jiang Minghuai had cheated on her with?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere froze instantly.
"grandmother."
He Yanting called out softly.
Old Madam He smiled wryly, "But, since Jiang Minghuai has recognized you, I have no reason not to welcome you, but please don't call me grandma."
She took Jiang Xu's hand and said, "My dear, help me in. It's almost time. Let's go get your grandpa to come out."
"Um."
Jiang Xu didn't look at the group of people from beginning to end, and helped the old lady leave.
After the old lady left, Lin Yue glanced at Jiang Xueruo, who was about to cry, and said awkwardly, "The old lady has always been kind. What upset you today?"
Zhuang Ze put his hands in his pockets and sneered, "What else could it be? Someone is instigating this from behind."
Jiang Xueruo looked at He Yanting while crying: "Brother Yanting, if I am not welcome here, I'd better leave. Please help me give this gift to Grandpa He."
He Yanting's eyes darkened slightly: "Don't take it to heart."
Lin Yue added fuel to the fire: "Jiang Xu and Old Madam He are so close, Fourth Brother, you are not really going to marry her, are you?"
He Yanting glanced at him calmly: "Of course I will marry her."
After saying that, he strode into the house.
Lin Yue was stunned: "Fourth brother really wants to marry Jiang Xu?"
Zhuang Ze said, "It must be for the shares, of course."
Huo Qiyu, however, had a different opinion: "There are many ways to get shares, and marriage is not necessary. Last time in Wei City, Jiang Xu fell into the sea, and Fourth Brother jumped in to save her, very decisively. Do you think it's possible... that he actually likes her?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other two laughed at the same time.
"How is it possible? He has been so indifferent to Jiang Xu in the past three years. Is this called love?"
"That's right, if you said you liked Xue Ruo, I would believe it."
Huo Qiyu scratched his head: "Didn't they date before? When they were in college."
Lin Yue said, "Xue Ruo was not in the capital at that time. Fourth Brother must have been too lonely, so he used ginger catkins to relieve his boredom."
Jiang Xueruo blushed and said, "Stop teasing me."
Lin Yue's eyes suddenly lit up: "By the way, you spend the most time with Fourth Brother. What exactly does he mean to Jiang Xu? Did he reveal the truth after drinking?"
Jiang Xueruo's expression faltered slightly, something flashed across her eyes, and she shook her head: "I didn't notice."
Lin Yue spread his hands and said, "I told you, Fourth Brother can't possibly like Jiang Xu, but Jiang Xu sticks to Fourth Brother like a dog-skin plaster."
The three of them walked into the house together, and Jiang Xueruo followed behind with a gloomy expression.
She recalled that one time last year He Yanting got drunk and she accompanied Lao Liu to send him home. When they fell on the bed, he suddenly hugged her and called out a name, which was a reduplicated word.
Jiang Xueruo thought he was calling Ruoruo and was extremely excited, but when she approached He Yanting, He Yanting seemed to sense something was wrong, turned his face away and let her go.
Then he murmured those two words over and over again.
She suddenly realized that he was calling her Ruanruan.
Jiang Xu's childhood nickname.
