Jiang Feifei trembled involuntarily upon hearing her father's question.
"I...I...."
"What's wrong with you? Say something!"
Jiang Xuewen paced anxiously on the ground, eager to figure out what was going on.
"Tell me... what exactly is the reason?"
"I...I..."
"Speak up! What did I say about myself?!"
Seeing his daughter stammering and not saying a word, Jiang Xuewen understood perfectly well that she must be in the wrong, and he immediately flew into a rage.
"Why are you yelling at your daughter? Can't you talk things out properly?!"
Zhang Yuru also looked annoyed, but getting angry wasn't the solution right now.
"Honey, tell me slowly, what exactly happened? Tell us so we can figure out a way to deal with it!"
"Yes, your mother is right. Think it over carefully and make sure you don't forget anything!"
After being yelled at by his wife, Jiang Xuewen softened his tone.
Jiang Feifei's face was still wet with tears, and she kept sobbing.
"My uncle introduced me to... to Liu Ziming, but Liu Ziming doesn't like me and refused the arranged marriage."
"And then? What did you do next?"
"I was not reconciled, so I asked Uncle Sun to help me investigate. Later, I asked around among many people and found out that Liu Ziming... he likes a woman named Jiang Xile."
I wanted to discourage her, so I went to her door myself. We argued for a bit, and when I got angry and wanted to hit her, Liu Ziming stopped me.
Then he had me arrested. When I woke up, I was locked in a dark room. I don't know how long I was locked up before he threw me back in. Waaah...waaah...
"Jiang Xile? Is she the Jiang Xile who lives in the courtyard house near Houhai?"
"Yes, what's wrong! I've inquired, she's just a low-level clerk at a steel rolling mill!"
Jiang Xuewen was even more furious when he heard this.
"You idiot, what kind of shady friends did you ask to find out? Is the other party deliberately trying to scam you? Jiang Xile is Jiang Yanshu's daughter."
Regardless of whether she's a low-level clerk or not, she's someone you can't afford to offend. You, you... how could I have given birth to such a wretched child!
"Jiang...Jiang Yanshu..."
Jiang Feifei had naturally heard of Jiang Yanshu's name, but she never expected that Jiang Xile was actually her daughter.
"dad..."
"Don't call me Dad, can I call you Dad instead... Every single one of them is a worry!"
Looking at her irritable husband and trembling daughter, Zhang Yuru felt a pang of sadness.
But they couldn't fight city hall, so the only thing they could do was apologize quickly and hope the other party would let them off the hook.
"Don't get impatient. I'll go see my uncle tomorrow. He's always had a good relationship with Liu Hongyi and Jiang Yanshu. I'll ask him to mediate. There shouldn't be any major problems."
"Really? You're really willing to ask your uncle for help?"
Jiang Xuewen looked at his wife with surprise. He knew all too well what the Zhang family's situation was when his wife married him.
I never expected that my wife would be willing to bow down to Zhang Guangyuan for the sake of the Jiang family.
"Honey, I'm so sorry you had to go through all this!"
"What's there to feel wronged about? No matter what, I'm surnamed Zhang, and my uncle should give me that face."
"Then we'll go back and prepare some gifts. We can't go empty-handed tomorrow; it'll look better on the surface."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll prepare it."
Zhang Yuru comes from the Zhang family and is Zhang Guangyuan's niece. However, the Zhang family elders favored their younger son, so Zhang Guangyuan and his younger brother Zhang Guangmao did not have a good relationship.
Later, due to differences in their stances, many conflicts arose. At that time, with Zhang Guangyuan's parents holding him back, Zhang Guangyuan suffered a lot of grievances.
After Zhang Guangyuan's parents died, the two brothers divided the family property. Due to the inheritance dispute, their relationship became even more strained, to the point that they were practically estranged forever.
No one expected that Zhang Guangmao and his wife would die young, passing away in an accident when they were in their forties.
The couple only had one daughter, Zhang Yuru, who had recently married Jiang Xuewen.
After her parents died, she had little contact with this distant uncle, though they were aware of each other's existence.
Now, her daughter has offended both Liu Ziming and Jiang Xile.
Zhang Yuru could only pin her hopes on Zhang Guangyuan, hoping that he would lend a hand out of consideration for their blood relation.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Jiang Xile had no idea that someone was racking their brains to apologize to her!
Having promised to have dinner with her father that evening, Jiang Xile rode her bicycle straight home as soon as she got off work.
When she got home, Jiang Yanshu hadn't returned yet. Jiang Xile thought it was probably because the Deng family had delayed her, so she didn't pay much attention.
Unexpectedly, just as the meal was ready, Jiang Yanshu returned with Liu Ziming.
"What's going on? How did you two end up together?!"
"You silly girl, what do you mean we ended up together? Zimo came to see you and we just happened to bump into each other at the door, so we came in together."
"oh!"
Jiang Xile responded, then looked at Liu Ziming and asked:
"What do you want? Is something wrong?"
Liu Ziming smiled.
"I heard there's a new movie showing in theaters recently, and I'd like to invite you to go see it with me!"
Jiang Xile suddenly looked at her father, and sure enough, his eyes clearly said:
See? Just as I predicted!
Jiang Xile suddenly felt a headache coming on. A few days ago, Jiang Yanshu had talked to her about Liu Ziming, and she insisted that the two were just ordinary friends and there was nothing else going on.
But now, who can tell her which ordinary friends would go to the movies together?
Gritting his teeth, Jiang Xile said fiercely:
"I'm not going!"
Now it was Liu Ziming's turn to be confused. What happened? Why did he suddenly get angry?
Everything was fine just now?
"Lele?"
