Chapter 8 8 I met the hero!
Wen Yao, who was lost in thought, was startled for a moment. She suppressed the smile that was spreading on her lips and said coldly, "I heard it."
As he said this, he straightened his back with great difficulty.
Jiang Yue's face was still kind, but his eyes held a hint of warning.
Mr. Jiang wanted his family to come back for dinner, but unexpectedly, Jiang Chen came back more than half an hour after Feng Shumin made the call.
Wen Yao couldn't help but look at her secretly.
Jiang Chen is a distant relative of Old Lady Jiang. When she was very young, her family suffered a misfortune and she became an orphan. Out of pity, Old Lady Jiang brought her back to the Jiang family.
In order to take care of her more conveniently, Jiang Shaoming and his ex-wife, Jiang Yue's mother Huang Qianyi, went through the adoption procedures and adopted her as their adopted daughter, making her Jiang Yue's sister.
But Jiang Chen and Jiang Yue had an ordinary relationship, and she preferred her second brother Jiang Lin, who later moved into the Jiang family.
This love is not the love between siblings, but the love between men and women.
So, she became the second female lead who liked the male lead, and she often made things difficult for the female lead Lu Wan in the later plot. Of course, her character was not very positive.
She is the kind of person who appears innocent and naive on the outside, but has a lot of ulterior motives on the inside.
When Wen Yao looked at her, she also tilted her head to look at Wen Yao twice, and called her "sister-in-law" with a smile.
Wen Yao responded, thinking that although Jiang Chen was the second female lead, she had no hostility towards her for the time being, so there was no need to be too nervous.
Jiang Chen was truly just curious now. He stared wide-eyed and asked Jiang Yue and Wen Yao, "You two really got married? That's so sudden. Big brother, you've never brought your sister-in-law home before."
Jiang Yue replied briefly: "If you want to get married, then get married."
Jiang Chen was very dissatisfied with this answer and asked again, "How did you two know each other? Where is your sister-in-law's home?"
"It was a chance encounter." Jiang Yue replied.
Facing Jiang Chen's gaze, Wen Yao replied, "My home is in Tongxiang City."
Hearing this answer, Jiang Chen's eyes changed and he smiled and said, "Tongxiang City, is your family in the stone business?"
Yes, Tongxiang City is famous for its stone, and the wealthier families there are all engaged in the stone business.
But obviously, Wen Yao's family is not like that.
Wen Yao shook her head. "No, my family doesn't have any business. My dad is a taxi driver."
Jiang Chen's gaze changed immediately, completely losing his previous politeness and enthusiasm.
It was then that Wen Yao remembered that Jiang Chen's character, besides having a crush on the male protagonist Jiang Lin and being very scheming, also had another characteristic: flattering the powerful and bullying the weak.
Ah, that's her problem. She likes to put all the bad shortcomings on the supporting characters. Now she has dug a hole for herself.
Jiang Chen put away the scrutiny on his face and asked her, "Then how did sister-in-law and big brother meet by chance?"
Wen Yao looked at Jiang Yue and found that he was not prepared to answer.
She thought, since you, Jiang Yue, act like it’s none of your business, don’t blame me for exercising my right to interpret.
So she smiled and replied, “I found a wallet outside the convenience store, and after waiting for a while, your brother came over.
"Knowing that I had been waiting for the owner, he wanted to give me some money as a reward. I declined, but he insisted. I had no choice but to ask him to go to the milk tea shop next door and buy me a cup of milk tea. He really went and bought it for me.
"Then when I was sitting in front of the milk tea shop drinking milk tea, I didn't expect him to buy himself a cup and sit down opposite me. We chatted for a while, and he asked me for my contact information. Then he greeted me every morning and evening and said some boring things to me."
Having said that, Jiang Yue raised his head and looked at her questioningly.
She glanced back at him provocatively, and for a moment, she lost herself in thought and half-leaned on the sofa, continuing to talk to Jiang Chen, "I was really confused at the time. I thought he was a sea king, flirting with girls everywhere. But later, seeing that he was persistent and sincere, I slowly began to believe him.
"After we met a few times, he actually proposed to me. I thought he was a marriage scam, but he gave me a house without saying anything, so I believed him.
"Plus..."
She glanced at Jiang Yue, whose face had turned green, and said with a sweet smile, "Plus, he has good conditions in all aspects and is so sincere, so I agreed."
Finally, he sighed and said, "Getting married right after graduation. I never thought I would get married so soon."
The tone of voice sounded quite regretful.
Jiang Chen was shocked and looked at Jiang Yue in surprise.
She never expected that her elder brother would be so servile... What kind of demon has possessed him?
Feng Shumin, who had been listening to gossip with her ears wide open, couldn't help but look at Jiang Yue, wanting to verify whether what Wen Yao said was true.
Jiang Yue didn't like this flattering character, but he couldn't refute it.
This occasion is not suitable for arguing. He just needs to make his family accept his marriage smoothly and avoid unnecessary complications.
So he forced a smile and replied to Jiang Chen, "There are always times in life when you're desperate."
Jiang Chen looked at him with his mouth wide open for a long time.
It wasn't until a long time later that she suddenly figured it out.
It was more than a month ago. That was when Lu Wan had just broken off the engagement with my elder brother.
So he was intentionally using another woman to heal his emotional wounds, or maybe even out of spite, deliberately getting married before Lu Wan.
This also explains why he wanted to get a marriage certificate so quickly and find a woman from such a poor family.
Only a woman like this would agree to a flash marriage with him.
This woman is still complacent now, but in fact she doesn't know that she is just a tool for big brother Jiang Yue to vent his anger.
Oh, ignorant poor people.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.
I just didn't expect that my brother, who is always clear-headed, would be so impulsive.
But Jiang Chen was very sure that it wouldn't be long before Jiang Yue came to his senses and realized his mistake.
With his background, he would never get along with this woman. He might kick her out within half a year.
But the woman didn't lose too much, at least she got an apartment.
In Jiang Chen's impression, the eldest brother seemed to be generous in this regard and would give some compensation.
Wen Yao felt that Jiang Chen's gaze towards her contained not only contempt but also a hint of teasing. She was about to analyze him from a personality perspective when she saw Jiang Shaoming walk into the room.
Feng Shumin, who was standing by, stood up first and took the clothes from his hand while saying, "You're back pretty quickly."
Then she pointed at Wen Yao and said, "This is Jiang Yue's new daughter-in-law, her name is Wen Yao." Then she looked at Wen Yao and said, "Wen Yao, this is Jiang Yue's father."
In this family, Feng Shumin is the person who treats Wen Yao most warmly, or rather, only Feng Shumin is warm to Wen Yao.
Although others did not approve of this marriage, she was happy to see it happen.
As she spoke, Feng Shumin's expression showed a hint of joy and excitement, as if her son had brought back a daughter-in-law.
Jiang Shaoming's aura was much weaker than that of Old Man Jiang. After going through that test with Old Man Jiang, Wen Yao became much more natural. She stood up and said, "Dad."
Jiang Shaoming's expression was not very good, but he nodded, and then he said directly to Jiang Yue: "Come out for a moment."
Before leaving, Jiang Yue did not forget to look at Wen Yao, as if telling her to wait for him, but in fact he was warning her not to talk nonsense, and then went out with Jiang Shaoming.
The two of them walked behind the rockery outside the living room and disappeared.
Feng Shumin pushed the fruit plate in front of Wen Yao and said, "Yaoyao, eat your fruit and ignore them. I'll call Jiang Lin and ask him to come back soon."
Wen Yao smiled in response, confirming that Feng Shumin really had no ulterior motives, and showed her joy clearly.
At this moment, Feng Shumin felt the tolerance and pride of a winner.
Lu Wan, a girl with impeccable family background and character, broke off her engagement with Jiang Yue and remarried her son Jiang Lin.
As for Jiang Yue, not only did he not make up for his mistake, he also brought back an ordinary small town girl from outside, and he did it without authorization and even got the certificate.
Not to mention a family like the Jiang family, even the elders of ordinary families would be angry.
When Jiang Yue made his family angry, Feng Shumin was of course the happiest one.
Just as Wen Yao was trying to guess Feng Shumin's thoughts, Jiang Shaoming's sudden and loud scolding voice came from outside.
"Are you giving up? If you had known this would happen, why would you have made such a stupid mistake?"
"You're deceiving yourself! You're doing this for the sake of face, but you're paying more!"
"What's wrong with you lately? Weren't you very rational before? You've never been so impulsive and stupid!"
…
Jiang Yue's voice could not be heard, but Jiang Shaoming's voice could be heard in the living room.
Jiang Shaoming said that Jiang Yue was impulsive, but looking at the situation, it was obvious that he was more impulsive and more irritable than Jiang Yue.
The living room was filled with awkwardness because of Jiang Shaoming's angry shouting.
Feng Shumin and Jiang Chen both secretly glanced at Wen Yao. They didn't know whether Wen Yao knew the inside story of Jiang Yue being broken off by Lu Wan.
If she knew that Jiang Yue had just been broken off from the engagement, that Jiang Yue had failed to win back the girl, and that Jiang Yue had met her after the breakup...
The answer is obvious. Jiang Yue was broken off from engagement, and the person he liked became his brother's wife. So he was heartbroken and frustrated, and impulsively married an ordinary girl.
Wen Yao silently ate the imported mangosteen in the fruit bowl, pretending not to feel the embarrassment at the moment.
Mangosteen is expensive, and she was reluctant to buy it before, let alone such high-quality mangosteen. It would be a waste not to eat it, but she couldn't eat too much either. She had to save some space for the big meal later.
"Jiang Chen, go call your dad and big brother in. What are you yelling about?"
Old Master Jiang, who had been sitting next to them reading the newspaper silently, spoke.
Jiang Chen immediately responded and ran out.
In the old man's opinion, it was impolite to quarrel like this in front of Wen Yao.
But the next moment, Jiang Chen's voice was heard: "Second brother, you're back?"
Wen Yao raised her head and saw Jiang Shaoming, Jiang Yue and another stunningly handsome man coming in from not far outside the door.
It’s Jiang Lin, oh my god, it’s her male protagonist Jiang Lin!
The excitement at this moment is not just about seeing her son-in-law, it is simply like a mother seeing her son who has been lost for twenty years. It is beyond words!
Wen Yao felt her mind had gone blank as she stared blankly at the man who was a replica of her image, stunned and speechless.
She couldn't even hear what was being said around her. She only knew that Feng Shumin seemed to have said a few words to Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin walked up to her step by step and said something to her, as if he was greeting her and calling her sister-in-law.
Wen Yao's face was burning like fire, her mind was wandering, and she felt like she was about to faint.
Jiang Lin was created by her by looking at countless male stars and comic book idols, setting his appearance bit by bit, and carefully considering and describing every word.
The reason why Feng Shumin was written so beautifully was to give Jiang Lin's good looks a genetic basis.
Different from Jiang Yue's straight and sharp appearance, Jiang Lin has a kind of enchanting beauty.
There is a kind of feminine softness in his eyebrows, eyes and facial features, but he does not look feminine at all. His facial features are exquisite down to every millimeter. In general, it is a 3D modeled face used in anime to be the "most handsome man in the world".
If such a person stands in front of you, or even just looks at you, you will lose your soul.
Wen Yao used a lot of effort to let herself fall from the clouds, stand firmly, and then spoke with difficulty: "Hello... Hello, I..."
Because she was nervous, she spoke incoherently and kept saying "I" for a long time without finishing her words.
Jiang Lin smiled at her politely, then shifted his gaze to Old Man Jiang. He walked over and said, "Grandpa, I'm sorry. I just had an emergency over there, so I came back a little late."
Mr. Jiang replied, "It's not late. Dinner was originally scheduled. Now that you are all back, let's have lunch."
Wen Yao followed Jiang Lin's gaze for a while before looking away. She took a deep breath and couldn't help touching her face.
Just when she was wondering if her face had blushed, she accidentally met Jiang Yue's gaze and found that he was staring at her viciously, as if he wanted to eat her.
Looking at Jiang Chen and Feng Shumin again, the expressions on their faces were also very interesting, but they were slightly different. Jiang Chen was contemptuous and angry, while Feng Shumin was proud and amused.
Could it be that she was too obvious just now, letting them discover her unusual feelings for Jiang Lin?
Wen Yao decided to control her excitement, be as reserved as possible, and not cause any trouble.
Soon, lunch started at the Jiang family. Although time was short, the chef of the Jiang family was very talented and still prepared a large table of food. There were the famous Huaiyang dishes squirrel mandarin fish and crab meat lion's head, as well as French cream of mushroom soup, luxurious wontons stuffed with Australian lobster, and some kind of Yunnan mushroom stew. Even the common stir-fried shredded potatoes and roasted chicken legs tasted the best Wen Yao had ever tasted.
Because of this table of food, Wen Yao forgot to go see Jiang Lin.
Jiang Shaoming was still in a bad mood. Feng Shumin kindly advised him and Jiang Chen also occasionally livened up the atmosphere. The meal was barely harmonious.
As the atmosphere gradually improved, Jiang Chen suddenly asked Jiang Lin, "Second brother, how is Sister Wanwan's injury recovering? I haven't visited her in the past two days."
After she finished speaking, she looked as if she had just realized something was wrong. She immediately lowered her head to drink her soup, not daring to look at Jiang Yue.
But based on Wen Yao's understanding of this female supporting role, she is not the kind of person who speaks without restraint.
She just wants to watch the show and not let the world go to waste.
Jiang Lin answered naturally, "He's recovering very well. He'll be discharged in two days."
"That's good." Jiang Chen said, "I'll go see her this afternoon." After saying that, he glanced at Wen Yao, as if hoping that Wen Yao would ask, "Who is Sister Wanwan?"
But Wen Yao obviously wouldn't accept her role. She just looked at Jiang Yue with interest, wondering what his expression would be when he heard Lu Wan's name.
But she was disappointed, there was no expression on Jiang Yue's face.
On second thought, this is normal.
Jiang Yue is the crown prince of the Jiang family group for more than 20 years. He has been trained as an elite since he was a child. This ability to "keep his emotions hidden" can be said to be a basic skill.
Just look at Jiang Yue's superb performance in front of people and you will know that even if he is affected by this name, he will not show it.
But Wen Yao couldn't figure out how he felt about Lu Wan now.
She understood that her male supporting role must be deeply in love with the female lead, otherwise it would feel incomplete... No, the plot could not move forward.
But facing Jiang Yue, she was not completely sure. After all, he was a ruthless man who actually stabbed Lu Wan in order to frame her.
For him, this is real society, not a plot.
It's too cruel and terrifying to be judged by common sense.
So even as the author, she couldn't guess what his current feelings were towards Lu Wan.
It was like she only knew that the dishes cooked by the Jiang family chef were delicious, but she didn't expect them to be so delicious. It was really rare in this world.
Lowering her head, she began to deal with the delicious food in front of her as gracefully as possible.
I finally managed to try all my favorite dishes in one breath. I was just feeling lucky that my clothes, which were one size smaller, didn't get stretched out of shape when Mrs. Fang brought out several plates of desserts.
