Although it was summer, it was still quite cold to get wet at night. Jiang Rong frowned and was about to say something to Shang Shaoheng to let him take a shower and go to bed when he heard someone outside say, "Master, the Madam is here!"
Shang Shaoheng paused.
Jiang Rong saw that his brows seemed to frown, but it happened so quickly that Jiang Rong was not sure if it was his illusion.
He took off his wet shirt and threw it into the dirty clothes basket. He said to Jiang Rong calmly, "Take a shower yourself."
"Oh." Jiang Rong realized something was wrong after she answered. Shang Shaoheng said this as if she couldn't take a bath by herself.
Shang Shaoheng strode out of the bathroom and opened the cloakroom door. When he came out, he had changed into a loose black home suit. Jiang Rong leaned against the door frame to see if he really left, then leaned against the door panel and said: [022, the male protagonist has a bad relationship with his mother?]
022 urgently looked up the information and said: [The male protagonist's character introduction didn't mention much about his family. It said that his father died early and his mother came from a prominent family, but the specific background was not mentioned.]
Jiang Rong cursed it in his heart, calling it a little waste. [What about the future relationship between the heroine and her mother-in-law? ]
022 said: [There shouldn't be such a thing as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts. After all, the hero will not let the heroine suffer any grievances, even if the grievances come from his own mother.]
Jiang Rong nodded thoughtfully, then began to take off his clothes. 022 was shocked: "What are you doing? Are you really taking off your clothes?"
Jiang Rong was speechless: [I was splashed with water by that elementary school student Shang Shaoheng, and I'm going to leave here dripping wet without taking a shower?]
022 thought so too, so he shut up.
But after Jiang Rong finished taking a shower, she remembered a fatal problem, that is, she didn't have any change of clothes.
Jiang Rong let out a light click of her tongue, and after hesitating for less than a second, she wrapped herself in Shang Shaoheng's bath towel. She opened the door and looked outside. The spacious black, white and gray bedroom was empty, without even a ghost in sight.
She walked out of the bathroom and prepared to see if there were any clothes she could wear. Just as she walked to the door of the cloakroom, the bedroom door suddenly opened.
At the same time, a voice came in: "...I just suddenly remembered that thing you asked me last time..."
The following words stopped abruptly.
Jiang Rong and the visitor looked at each other.
She was standing on the carpet wrapped in a bath towel with wet hair. The person who came was wearing a plain cheongsam, noble and elegant. Even though she was old, her facial features were still extremely delicate and beautiful.
Both of them were stunned, but Shang Shaoheng remained calm. He glanced at Jiang Rong and said calmly, "There's nothing here that you can wear. Ask the servants to find you a set."
Jiang Rong said "oh" and turned to walk out, but the gentle middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Ah Heng, how about introducing yourself?"
Shang Shaoheng raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but Jiang Rong had a feeling that he would not be able to spit out ivory from his dog's mouth. He would say something like "This is my eldest aunt's sister" or "This is my next hunting target" and so on. So Jiang Rong said first: "Hello, Auntie! I... I'm Shang Ye's friend. I just want to use the bathroom to take a shower. I'll be leaving soon!"
Shang Shaoheng asked meaningfully: "Friends?"
The woman also smiled: "Friends?"
Jiang Rong: “…”
022 also said quietly: [Friend?]
Jiang Rong: […Why are you causing trouble?]
Fortunately, Shang Shaoheng's mother had a completely different personality from Shang Shaoheng and never embarrassed anyone. She didn't ask any further, but said, "Ah Heng, I don't think there are any clothes you can wear here. I do have two spare sets in the car. If you don't mind, you can wear mine first."
Jiang Rong: "...Thank you, Auntie."
How dare I despise it!
Cui Congshuang asked someone to bring up her clothes. Jiang Rong came out after changing her clothes. The mother and son were sitting in the living room chatting.
Shang Shaoheng looks about 50% similar to Cui Congshuang, especially his eyes, which have almost the same shape and curvature. However, these eyes are gentle and quiet on Cui Congshuang, but cold and ruthless on Shang Shaoheng.
Jiang Rong stood at the stairs, hesitating whether to go down. 022 said, "You're being so timid right now, like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws."
Jiang Rong: […Who are you calling ugly?]
022 immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake: [I’m sorry, I’m ugly. ]
But why didn’t you object to meeting your in-laws?
"Little girl?" Cui Congshuang suddenly looked up and said with a smile, "Why don't you come down?"
Jiang Rong had no choice but to go downstairs. Cui Congshuang looked her over and said, "She's really pretty. Why didn't Ah Heng bring her home for me to see?"
Jiang Rong felt that the lady must have misunderstood something, and explained, "Auntie, Mr. Shang and I are not in that kind of relationship."
Cui Congshuang suddenly realized something and said to Shang Shaoheng disapprovingly, "When did you develop this problem? Doing this is irresponsible to your future partner."
Jiang Rong: “…”
Why does it seem like the more I explain, the more things get out of hand. Does Cui Congshuang think that she is Shang Shaoheng's one-night stand?!
Shang Shaoheng sneered: "You don't recognize her?"
Cui Congshuang was puzzled: "I should know her?"
Shang Shaoheng slowly picked up the cold kettle and poured himself a glass of water, saying, "Didn't you make the engagement for us?"
Cui Congshuang was stunned and asked in astonishment, "Are you the child from the Jiang family?"
"I'm not, I'm not!" Jiang Rong immediately denied: "The one who is engaged to Mr. Shang is my sister Jiang Panyu, not me. I'm not a biological child of the Jiang family."
She couldn’t let Jiang Panyu’s future mother-in-law recognize the wrong person, otherwise how could she complete her mission!
"So that's how it is." Cui Congshuang said with a smile, "Come here and let me take a look."
Jiang Rong inexplicably stepped forward. Cui Congshuang took her hand and looked at her, saying, "I held you when you were very young. You've grown up so quickly. My dear, I remember your name was Jiang Rong."
"Yes, Auntie." Jiang Rong could feel that Cui Congshuang had a good impression of her. Although she didn't know where this good impression came from, she still smiled.
Cui Congshuang patted her hands and suddenly said, "Although the engagement I originally arranged was between the daughter of the Jiang family and Ah Heng, you are also a daughter of the Jiang family. Do you like Ah Heng? If so, the engagement is still yours."
Jiang Rong was confused, and Shang Shaoheng seemed a little surprised as well, frowning slightly.
Jiang Rong said to 022 in bewilderment: [Shang Shaoheng's mother is quite nice. She can give this engagement to anyone, right?]
022 was equally confused: [I don't know why this happened. Maybe you're just her type? When the Shang family and the Jiang family got engaged, many people didn't understand. After all, compared to a giant like the Shang family, the Jiang family couldn't really be ranked.]
Jiang Rong felt that this matter was not that simple.
Cui Congshuang couldn't be a simple person if she could give birth to a son like Shang Shaoheng.
Even now, few people know Cui Congshuang's background, which shows that her background is absolutely astonishingly large.
