Just as Qin Qin assumed Su Yan was a rich girl and her expression softened a little, Su Yan generously replied, "Hello, Auntie. My name is Su Yan, and I am Jiang Jingxing's girlfriend. My family is from a small town in Lan City. I come from the countryside, and there are five other people in my family besides me."
She showed no discomfort whatsoever when she said she was from the countryside.
Qin Qin's face darkened completely when she heard that she was from the countryside and had five family members!
"What?!" She raised her voice in disbelief, staring intently at Su Yan, and demanded, "Did you seduce my son? Otherwise, how could he possibly fall for a country girl?! You peasants are truly shameless!"
She's a country girl, fine, but she's from a small city. How can she possibly accept that?
Jiang Changzheng's expression was also not good.
The Jiang family is a prominent family in Beijing. How could their son marry a village girl?
If I marry her, where will he put his face when facing those high society figures?
"Ms. Qin, please watch your words!"
A chilling voice rang out.
Everyone looked back.
Jiang Jingxing emerged from inside at some point, his face extremely gloomy, clearly having overheard what Qin Qin had just said.
Qin Qin pretended not to see it and said anxiously, "Jingxing, quickly tell Mom that this country girl is not your girlfriend. She is lying, or she is seducing you!"
Even if Su Yan is as beautiful as an angel, she still can't accept her as her daughter-in-law!
Jiang Jingxing strode up to Su Yan, his eyes filled with tenderness as he looked at her.
Su Yan felt hot all over from his affectionate gaze and couldn't help but pinch his hand.
There are so many people here!
Jiang Jingxing took her hand directly, and when he turned to face Qin Qin, his expression was cold and distant. He spoke slowly and deliberately, "It was I who liked Ayan. I was the one who pursued her first. Haven't you always been worried about my marriage? Now you can rest assured."
Hearing him admit it himself, Qin Qin's eyes widened in disbelief, she trembled with anger, and she pointed at Su Yan, roaring, "I told you to find a partner, not a country bumpkin! There are so many good girls in Beijing, aren't they all better than her?"
“In my heart, Ayan is the best girl in the world, and no one can compare to her.” Jiang Jingxing said calmly, “Ms. Qin, once I’ve made up my mind about someone, it will never change. Besides, my grandfather approves of Ayan, so she will definitely be my future wife. Even if you’re not satisfied, you have to learn to accept it.”
"You...you unfilial son!"
Qin Qin was so angry she felt like she was going to vomit blood. Her eyes were bloodshot as she glared at him and gritted her teeth, saying, "Let me tell you, I will absolutely not agree to you two being together! I will also not let you marry this country girl, unless I die!"
Jiang Changzheng spoke up at the right moment: "Jiang Jingxing, there is too much of a difference in your social status with this girl. You two are not suitable for each other. You should break up as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingxing simply smiled faintly, his eyes and brows filled with disdain for them. "Whether it's suitable or not, whether you agree or not, it's not up to you to decide. The Jiang family is not for you to make decisions. Even without Grandpa, there is still me."
Especially you, Ms. Qin, let me remind you: if you dare to cause trouble for Ayan and her family behind my back, I will make you pay a heavy price. You may not be afraid of me, but don't forget, I have my grandfather backing me up.”
After saying that, he took Su Yan's hand and got her into the passenger seat. He helped her fasten her seatbelt, then returned to the driver's seat, started the car, and drove away in a cloud of dust, no matter how Qin Qin tried to stop him.
Qin Qin was furious and yelled at the back of the car, "Jiang Jingxing, you'll never marry her in this lifetime! Forget about it!"
"Don't you even see me as your mother anymore?"
"Your soul has been bewitched by this vixen! If you dare to marry her, everyone will laugh at our family to death!"
"you……"
The lights in the courtyard, which had been off, came on one by one after Qin Qin's shouting. Jiang Changzheng quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "Shut up, you idiot! Do you want others to laugh at our family in the middle of the night?"
Seeing the light come on, Qin Qin calmed down a bit. She pushed her husband's hand away and gritted her teeth angrily, saying, "Your son is going to marry a country girl, aren't you worried? We'll both lose face! You'd better go back and talk to your father. What's that old bastard doing meddling in everything? He wants to control everything. Why doesn't he just die already?"
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly remembered that Aunt Li was still there!
The couple instinctively turned their heads to look.
Sure enough, Aunt Li's face darkened, and she said coldly, "I will tell the old general every single word that the First Madam just said!"
After saying that, Aunt Li went into the yard without looking back.
Qin Qin threatened, both angry and anxious, "Aunt Li, you're just the Jiang family's nanny. If you dare to talk nonsense in front of the old man, be careful your son and daughter-in-law might lose their jobs!"
Aunt Li ignored her.
She panicked completely, forgetting all about being angry with Jiang Jingxing and Su Yan. "What should we do? Aunt Li is that old hag! What if the old man gets angry?"
She dared to yell at Jiang Jingxing because he was her son.
But she didn't dare utter a sound in front of her stern father-in-law, knowing he had never liked her.
But then I thought, she comes from a well-off family in Beijing, which is incomparable to Su Yan, that country girl. Why is the old man still dissatisfied with her?
Thinking of this, Qin Qin felt resentful, and her panic subsided considerably. She gritted her teeth and rushed into the house, "No, I have to go in and ask that old bastard what he means!"
Jiang Changzheng's face darkened instantly when he saw her so arrogant and he quickly followed her.
How could he have married such an idiot!
...
Meanwhile, inside the car.
Su Yan rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head, and quietly observed the man beside her who exuded a strong sense of security.
He wasn't in a good mood. His handsome face was tense, and the coldness between his brows was so intense that it seemed like every inch of him was sharp and intimidating.
However, she wasn't afraid at all. Thinking about how he had just stood up to his own mother for her sake, she couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Jingxing couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to. He turned his head and saw the smile on her face. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you very happy?"
Su Yan nodded in agreement, "Happy! Why would I be unhappy?"
"You're not angry at all when my mom said those things to you?"
His heart sank when he asked that question.
If she's not angry, it's either because she genuinely didn't take his words to heart, or because she doesn't like him.
If you don't like it, why are you angry?
Just as his mood was getting lower and lower, the girl next to him spoke up.
"I don't care what your parents think of me, but I do care about how you treat me."
At this point, the girl paused, then smiled and joked, "For example, just now, the way Commander Jiang defended me was really cool, I really liked it."
