Chapter 973: Raising an Army to Punish the Crime Part 2
The old man pretended not to hear Ye Qing's accusations against Jiang Xiaoyue and went straight to the point.
"Okay, Old Jiang, since you've opened your mouth, let's talk it out!" Ye Qing pointed at Jiang Xiaoyue and Lu Tianjun, who had been standing because there were no chairs. "What's going on between them? If someone hadn't told me that Xiaoyue had filed a love affair report yesterday, I would still be in the dark!"
Jiang Yun bent his fingers and tapped the table, occasionally.
"Comrade Ye, I don't quite understand what you mean. Xiaoyue and Tianjun are in love freely. Isn't it normal to keep a low profile before the love report passes the political review? It won't be too late to announce it to the world after the political review is passed. Of course, they don't need to announce it to the world. When they hold the wedding, don't worry, I will definitely invite your family to have a glass of wedding wine to thank you for your kindness in nurturing them back then."
After hearing this, Ye Qing's face turned very ugly. "Old Jiang, have you forgotten the engagement between our two families? Li Jun has always been chaste, isn't he just waiting for Xiaoyue to grow up?"
Jiang Yun frowned, "The marriage between the two families? How come I don't know about it?"
"When Xiaoyue and Li Jun were young, you and Lao Li arranged an engagement for them at a drinking table. Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten, or do you look down on our Li family? Do you look down on our Li Jun?" Ye Qing was immediately furious.
Jiang Xiaoyue stamped her feet in anger and shouted, "Didn't I say that at the time? I said, 'Aunt, I drank your milk because I was too young. When I grow up, I will buy you malted milk!'"

At that time, she thought malted milk was the best thing to drink.
She has been able to remember and has never forgotten her promise to buy some high-end nutritional supplements for Ye Qing every year.
Ye Qing nodded, "So you still remember, if you remember, why don't you keep your promise?"
Lu Tianjun held Jiang Xiaoyue's hand, feeling comforted. Compared to the ignorant Li family, he naturally trusted Jiang Xiaoyue. They had known each other for quite some time, and he knew her character very well.
"Comrade Ye, wait a minute! Wait a minute!" Jiang Yun stopped her from making the next accusation, and thought carefully for a moment, then said, "I remember the joke thirteen years ago. At that time, you and your old Li said this, right? You said, 'Xiao Yue, you drank my milk, and you can marry our Jun Jun, okay?' Am I remembering this correctly?"
Ye Qing frowned and scolded, "I'm talking to your father, why are you, a junior, butting in?"
Jiang Xiaoyue opened her mouth, but Lu Tianjun patted her hands, so she swallowed her words and looked at Ye Qing and Li Jun angrily. The two families had never had any engagement, so she wanted to see how the other party would make up lies!
Jiang Yun loved his daughter the most, and Ye Qing’s rebuke made him very unhappy.
"Comrade Ye Qing, let's get to the point."
Ye Qing snorted, "What is there to say? You promised this marriage yourself!"
"I remember it very clearly. After Xiaoyue said this, your Lao Li said, 'Yes, Lao Jiang, what do you think of our Li Jun? Is he worthy of being your son-in-law?' This is how I replied to Lao Li. I said, 'It's not a question of whether it's suitable or not. We are not old-fashioned. Arranged marriages and child marriages are not popular now. The lifelong affairs of children should be decided after they grow up and their personalities are determined. If they have similar personalities and are interested in each other, we can make them in-laws. If they have grown up like siblings and have a deep brotherly love, they don't have those thoughts, we can't force them to become enemies.'"
