Chapter 153: Husband has become a decoration?

Who made his brother-in-law dislike him? If he secretly took Jiang Youning away, where would he find her?

Even if he had someone to protect her, he would still be worried.

Jiang Youning was stunned when she saw Xie Jing suddenly come back, "General, why are you back?"

Xie Jing walked over with a swagger, "I came back after I finished my work."

"You came back quite early." After seeing Xie Jing sit down, Jiang Youning suggested, "How about we have hot pot and grilled fish tonight?"

Xie Jing also liked hot pot and grilled fish, so he naturally would not refuse.

"Where's your elder brother?"

"My elder brother went out." Jiang Youning picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Xie Jing and placed it in front of him.

Xie Jing didn't ask any more questions after hearing that. He hadn't had any water for an hour and was very thirsty.

He picked up the teacup in front of him and put it to his lips and took a few sips to quench his thirst.

Chuntao started preparing dinner early and was happy for Jiang Youning, who would meet her biological brother.

She prepared a lot of food and the fish was big, for fear that it wouldn't be enough.

Not long after, the aroma wafted out of the small kitchen.

Jiang Qibai smelled it when he came, and he also smelled the aroma of grilled fish. His sister loved grilled fish hot pot the most, and he often ate it with her, so he could easily identify the taste.

Just as he was about to go to the guest room to find Jiang Qibai, Jiang Youning came out of the room, saw Jiang Qibai, and walked towards him with cheerful steps.

"Brother, you're back."

Jiang Qibai smiled when he saw his sister. "Ning'er."

Jiang Youning took Jiang Qibai's hand and said excitedly, "Brother, let's have hot pot and grilled fish tonight. It's been a long time since I ate with you."

Jiang Qibai hadn't eaten with his sister for a long time. After his sister disappeared, he often thought of the past. What he thought of most was the way his sister ate and the way she acted coquettishly.

Her mouth was always as sweet as honey.

Jiang Youning took Jiang Qibai's arm and walked into the house. Xie Jing was already sitting at the dining table waiting.

Chuntao saw that everyone was there, so she served the hot pot and grilled fish to the table.

Then she led the maid to bring water to wash her hands.

Jiang Youning couldn't wait to eat the grilled fish. After cleaning his hands, he wiped them twice and picked up the chopsticks. He reached into the steaming hot plate, picked up the grilled fish, blew on it twice and put it into his mouth.

Jiang Qibai saw it and reminded him, "Eat slowly, be careful of the burn."

"I know, big brother." Jiang Youning said this, but his hands were not vague. He picked up the grilled fish, blew on it twice and put it into his mouth.

Jiang Qibai shook his head helplessly.

Seeing this, Xie Jing reached into the grilled plate with chopsticks, picked up a large piece of fish belly and put it in the bowl in front of her.

Jiang Youning saw a large piece of fish in front of her and raised her eyebrows happily.

Seeing her almond-shaped eyes curved, Xie Jing picked up the soup spoon and reached into the hot pot, scooping some meatballs and fishballs into the bowl in front of her, piling her bowl into a small mountain.

"Eat slowly."

Jiang Youning paused in her chewing, glanced at the small mountain of dishes in front of her, and then glanced at Xie Jing, who was looking at her seriously.

"General, eat too."

"Yes." Xie Jing put down the soup spoon and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the grilled fish.

Jiang Qibai looked at the scene in front of him, and his eyes looked at the small mountain of dishes in front of his sister. Who picked up so much food at a time?

He looked up at Xie Jing and saw that he was eating grilled fish with his head down. He seriously suspected that he was a bit straightforward.

His style of doing things was also a bit straightforward, a complete action-oriented person.

Good and bad.

Xie Jing noticed that the person opposite him was looking at him with scrutiny, but he ignored it. Jiang Qibai didn't like him and would definitely observe him to see if he was suitable for TOEFL.

After the meal, Xie Jing didn't hear any difficult words from Jiang Qibai. He guessed that it was Jiang Youning who said something nice to Jiang Qibai.

When the old lady learned that Jiang Youning had found his biological elder brother, she came to Lingxi Courtyard to check it out the next morning.

Jiang Youning was chatting with Jiang Qibai about Hot Pot City.

Jiang Qibai asked and learned that Hot Pot City was created by the young master Xiao Yu, and his sister contributed ideas and practices, and then got dividends.

Jiang Youning saw the old lady coming in and hurried to greet her, "Mom."

The old lady smiled and said, "I heard that you found your elder brother, so I came to see him."

Jiang Youning said, "Mom, I did find my elder brother," and she pointed to Jiang Qibai who was waiting under the tree and said, "He is my elder brother, Lu Zhaomian."

Lu Zhaomian was the name of the original owner, and only the original owner's name could be used when introducing him.

The old lady looked in the direction of Jiang Youning's finger and saw Jiang Qibai sitting under the tree. He was a handsome young man.

Jiang Qibai stood up when the old lady looked over.

Jiang Youning introduced Jiang Qibai, "Brother, this is the old lady, my mother."

Jiang Qibai bowed and said, "Hello, old lady."

The old lady smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, there is no need to be so polite."

Jiang Qibai stood up when he heard it.

Jiang Youning said, "Mother, please sit down first."

The old lady nodded, "Okay."

Jiang Youning helped the old lady sit down on the chair, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of the old lady.

"Mother, please have some tea."

Jiang Qibai looked at the old lady for a few times. She looked young and kind, so she should not make things difficult for his sister.

The old lady saw that Jiang Qibai was still standing, and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu, sit down and talk."

"Okay, old lady." Jiang Qibai sat down on the chair.

The old lady asked, "Where is Mr. Lu from?"

Jiang Qibai said, "Old lady, I am from Gusu and just came to Jinling recently."

The old lady nodded when she heard it, "Youning has been married into the general's mansion for some time. Before she married in, she found out that she was not the biological daughter of the Jiang family. She didn't expect to find her family this year. It is a happy thing."

Jiang Qibai had a smile on his face: "The old lady is right. It is a rare opportunity for my sister and I to meet again in such a large crowd. It is a very happy thing. My sister is young and ignorant, so I hope the old lady will bear with me."

Hearing this, the old lady raised her head and glanced at Jiang Youning, "Mr. Lu, you are joking. Youning is sensible. I get along well with her. Mr. Lu, don't worry."

Jiang Qibai said, "With the old lady's words, I feel relieved."

The old lady said, "Mr. Lu, since you are new to Jinling, you can let Youning accompany you for a walk."

Jiang Qibai smiled slightly, "The old lady is thoughtful. I just want to see the beautiful scenery of Jinling."

"You brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for many years. You should have a lot to say. I'm going back to have a nap."

"Goodbye, old lady."

Jiang Youning and Jiang Qibai stood up and watched the old lady leave before sitting down.

"The old lady is very young."

"When I first saw the old lady, I thought she was very young and had a good temper." Jiang Youning said.

Jiang Qibai knew that his guess was right when he heard it. A kind mother-in-law like the old lady would generally not make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.

Jiang Youning took a sip of tea and suggested, "Brother, how about we go out for a walk?"

Jiang Qibai agreed very readily, "Okay, I haven't gone shopping with you for a long time. If you want to buy something, you can pay for it."

Jiang Youning's almond eyes curved happily, "I knew that you treat me the best."

Jiang Qibai's greatest pleasure is to take his sister out for shopping. She chooses things and he pays the bill, transfers the money to his sister, and then receives his sister's cute expression.

Jiang Youning asked Leng Yu to prepare the carriage.

After a cup of tea, Jiang Youning and Jiang Qibai went out in a carriage together.

It was summer, and the sun was shining brightly.

There were fewer people on the street than usual.

Jiang Youning leaned on the window, looking around the street for a long time, and saw the dessert shop, "Brother, let's go drink dessert."

Jiang Qibai looked at his sister leaning on the window of the carriage, as if he had returned to the modern times, where his sister always leaned on the window to look at the street for this delicacy.

"Okay."

The carriage stopped in front of the dessert shop. Jiang Qibai got off first, then stood beside the carriage, stretched out his hand, waiting for his sister to come out.

"Yanran, isn't that the young man who came to question you last time?" Miss Feng pulled Jiang Yanran and pointed to a place not far away.

Hearing that, Jiang Yanran looked in the direction of Miss Feng's finger, and saw the young man who praised her last time.

"It was a pity that I didn't wait for him last time, so I can't miss it this time." After saying this, Princess Feng pulled Jiang Yanran over.

Jiang Yanran also wanted to meet the young master, so she followed him.

When she got closer, Jiang Yanran saw a woman coming out of the carriage. When she saw the woman's face, she was stunned.

How could it be Jiang Youning?

Jiang Youning got off the carriage with the help of Jiang Qibai.

When Qianjin Feng saw Jiang Youning, her eyes were full of confusion, "Isn't that Jiang Youning?"

Jiang Yanran said, "It's Jiang Youning. Why is she going out on the street with another man like this?"

Qianjin Feng snorted coldly, "I think she is fickle. That young man has an extraordinary temperament and a handsome appearance, and Jiang Youning is flirting with him."

Jiang Yanran watched the two of them behaving very intimately. She didn't know why Jiang Youning was so shameless. She married a general, but still hooked up with others.

"Maybe we misunderstood. Sister is not that kind of person."

But Princess Feng said, "Yanran, you are the only one who is kind. If Jiang Youning was not a woman with a fickle nature, how could she get engaged to Jiangjun right after breaking off the engagement with Shen Tanhua? I don't know what tricks she used to make Jiangjun so obsessed."

Jiang Yanran pursed her lips, a little confused.

Why did Jiang Youning always compete with her for the person she liked?

She liked Jiangjun, but Jiang Youning would rather be married to someone else than marry into his mansion.

She just had a crush on that young man, and Jiang Youning hooked up with him again.

"I see she is eating from the bowl while looking at the pot. I hear that the young master's accent doesn't sound like a local. I guess I don't know what kind of person Jiang Youning is. Let's go over and take a look."

After saying this, Princess Feng took Jiang Yanran and walked over.

"General's wife."

Jiang Youning paused when she heard the voice, and looked back, and saw Jiang Yanran and Princess Feng.

She hadn't seen Jiang Yanran for half a year, and didn't expect to meet her on the street.

No matter how much Jiang Yanran and Princess Feng disliked Jiang Youning, her status was there, and the two of them bowed to Jiang Youning one after another.

"General's wife."

Jiang Youning asked indifferently, "Is there anything?"

Jiang Yanran stepped forward and took Jiang Youning's hand warmly, "Sister Ning'er, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Sister Ning'er lives in the general's mansion, and I can't disturb her."

Jiang Yanran's words were reminding Jiang Qibai that Jiang Youning had already married the general, and if she married the general, she would kick her adoptive father's family.

When Jiang Yanran came up to her, Jiang Youning pulled her hand back and left her awkwardly suspended in the air.

Qianjin Feng smiled and said, "Ning'er is a general's wife, how can we ordinary people marry her, even though Uncle Jiang has raised the general's wife for fourteen years."

Jiang Yanran continued, "Sister Ning'er is just too busy. Dad always mentions Sister Ning'er in front of me, saying that he hasn't seen Sister Ning'er for a long time."

When mentioning Jiang Xubai, Jiang Youning secretly felt lucky that she had a blessing in disguise and had a dream that let her know Jiang Xubai's thoughts and get rid of Jiang Xubai's control.

Jiang Qibai knew his sister too well. If she had a good relationship with her friends, she would greet them with a smile. Only if they had a bad relationship or the other party was not a good person, would her sister be so indifferent.

He looked at Feng Qianjin, "Who are you? How dare you speak so rudely to a general's wife?"

Feng Qianjin was waiting to see Jiang Youning's jokes, but was stunned by Jiang Qibai's retort.

Jiang Qibai said again, "General's wife, you are a commoner and you really can't reach her. There is a saying that misfortune comes from the mouth." Feng Qianjin

was stunned for a moment. She had always thought that Jiang Youning was stupid and easy to bully, so she dared to mock her. When she reacted, she was so scared that she lowered her head and dared not say anything.

Jiang Yanran was also stunned for a moment, and after she reacted, she said in a gentle voice: "This young master, we meet again."

Jiang Youning looked at Jiang Qibai in confusion, "Do you know each other?"

Jiang Qibai glanced at Jiang Yanran: "No."

Jiang Yanran was stunned on the spot.

Jiang Youning also wondered how the eldest brother knew Jiang Yanran? Jiang Yanran was not the type that the eldest brother liked, and the eldest brother did not like women like Jiang Yanran.

Jiang Yanran asked unwillingly: "Young master, a few days ago in Hot Pot City, the young master said that the velvet hairpin I wore was beautiful."

Jiang Qibai recalled what happened at the gate of Hot Pot City that day. He did see a girl, but his attention was on the velvet hairpin at that time. How could he notice the girl's appearance?

"I remember now."

Jiang Yanran laughed when she heard that. "Sir, you remember now. I said I've seen you before."

Jiang Qibai said, "I didn't notice how you looked at that time, so I didn't recognize you."

Jiang Yanran: "..."

"Thank you for showing me the way that day." Jiang Qibai said, and took his sister inside.

Jiang Youning followed behind very cooperatively.

Jiang Yanran watched Qibai and Jiang Youning walk into the dessert shop, with confusion in her eyes. What did Jiang Qibai mean?

Knowing that Jiang Youning had already married a general, he still hooked up with men. Why was he so close to Jiang Youning?

In the dessert shop, Jiang Youning looked around and saw that almost every table was full of people. They all came to drink dessert to cool off.

The waiter took them to find an empty table and sat down.

"My two guests, what would you like to drink?"

Jiang Youning said, "I want red bean sugar porridge."

Jiang Qibai said, "I want ice lotus and lily."

"My two guests, please wait a moment." After the waiter left, he came over with the sugar water and placed it in front of Jiang Qibai and Jiang Youning respectively.

"Enjoy your meal, guests."

Jiang Qibai waited for the waiter to leave before asking, "Was it Jiang Yanran who just called you Sister Ning'er?"

"Yes, but I don't like her." Jiang Youning took a spoon and scooped a spoonful of red bean sugar porridge into her mouth and took a sip. It was cool and a little sweet, and tasted good.

Good morning, babies!

I was supposed to update yesterday, but I didn't because I had something to do. I will update more on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day.
