Chapter 7 Thousand Waves
Jiang Yue led her directly to Yunshu Pavilion where the old man of the Jiang family lived.
The Jiang family's Chinese-style villa carries through the Chinese architectural style to the end. There are three attics in it, each with a different name. The innermost attic where the old man of the Jiang family lives is called Yunshu Pavilion, which means "not caring about staying or leaving, just watching the clouds roll and unfold in the sky."
The old man of the Jiang family usually writes, paints, and fishes, which is in line with the simple and quiet mood of this attic.
The nanny who was taking care of the old man was wiping the table in the living room. When she saw Jiang Yue, she quickly came forward to greet him. While speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Wen Yao twice, and then said, "The master is writing in the room, young master, please go in directly."
Jiang Yue nodded, took Wen Yao's hand, and walked towards Grandpa Jiang's study.
His sudden yet natural action startled Wen Yao.
It had been so long since she held hands with a man of the opposite sex, probably since she left elementary school... She hadn't expected that Jiang Yue would hold her hand so suddenly.
It’s a big loss.
But she could only accept her fate and let him lead her hand as she walked with him to Grandpa Jiang's study.
As expected, Grandpa Jiang was writing, and the door was not closed. Jiang Yue called "Grandpa" at the door and was about to go in, but he saw that Grandpa Jiang seemed not to have heard him and continued to write with his head down. He paused, then retracted his legs and waited quietly there.
Wen Yao was initially surprised by Mr. Jiang's indifference, because he valued Jiang Yue very much. Later, after thinking about it and realizing that it was after Jiang Yue got into a scandal, she understood that Mr. Jiang was beginning to be disappointed with Jiang Yue.
The marriage between the Jiang and Lu families was something that had been planned a long time ago, but a scandal involving Jiang Yue ruined everything.
Lu Wan did change her engagement to Jiang Lin, but it was helpless and humiliating. The Lu family must get it back in business cooperation, and even the Jiang family would feel guilty towards the Lu family in the future. How could Mr. Jiang, who was too proud, tolerate this?
So he was angry and disappointed with Jiang Yue.
Wen Yao turned to look at Jiang Yue, only to see that his eyes were slightly lowered, with a look of unwillingness on his face, but more of frustration.
According to the plot of her novel, this step is just the beginning.
Later, Jiang Yue would make one mistake after another, and finally be abandoned by his whole family, and Jiang Lin would take over.
Wen Yao suddenly began to understand him a little, which was something no one could accept.
It was a full five minutes later that Mr. Jiang put down the small goat's hair brush in his hand and turned around.
The old man unexpectedly saw the strange young woman behind his eldest grandson, and couldn't help but look at her and take a few more glances.
Although this Old Man Jiang was a character she created, Wen Yao still felt uneasy and guilty under the old man's calm yet majestic gaze.
Just like every ordinary person seeing a big shot who is out of their reach, they can't help but be suppressed by the other person's aura.
Jiang Yue then let go of her hand and said, "Grandpa, this is Wen Yao. I brought her here to see you today. We got married yesterday. I'm sorry I only told you today."
Old Master Jiang was slightly startled. He looked at Jiang Yue, then at Wen Yao. Wen Yao also spoke with a slight stammer, "Hello, Grandpa."
Just three words, but because she spoke them not smoothly and her expression was not natural, it revealed that she had never seen any big scenes.
Mr. Jiang confirmed: "Marriage?"
Jiang Yue nodded, "Yes, I did it yesterday."
Only then did Mr. Jiang stand up straight, walk out from behind the desk, and look at Jiang Yue: "Why so sudden? I've never heard you mention it before."
Jiang Yue looked at Wen Yao and said, "Can you sit outside for a while while I talk to Grandpa?"
Now his demeanor and tone of voice were considerate and gentle, as if he had become a different person. Wen Yao couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in her heart. She had never known that Jiang Yue had such superb acting skills!
So Wen Yao pretended to be a girlfriend and nodded to him obediently, then nodded slightly to Grandpa Jiang, then turned and walked out.
She tried her best, but her acting skills were probably not as good as Jiang Yue's.
When she left, Jiang Yue closed the study door. The heavy bamboo green wooden door completely blocked out the sounds of conversation inside.
But Wen Yao could guess almost everything they said.
Old Master Jiang was disappointed that Jiang Yue lost the marriage alliance with the Lu family, but he also didn't want him to marry any woman casually, so he couldn't help questioning and criticizing him.
Jiang Yue will tell the lie he had already made up. As for whether Mr. Jiang believes it or not, that is hard to say. But no matter whether he believes it or not, he can only accept it. After all, the marriage is already concluded, and Jiang Yue is determined.
As soon as Wen Yao stepped into the living room, the nanny, Mrs. Fang, brought her a cup of tea and asked her to sit down with a smile.
She thanked him politely, but just as the aroma of tea entered her nose and she hadn't taken a sip, another person came to the door.
When she heard Mrs. Fang calling her "Madam", she turned around and saw Feng Shumin.
Feng Shumin is the biological mother of the original novel's male protagonist Jiang Lin, the stepmother of the male supporting character Jiang Yue, and the second wife of Jiang Shaoming, the father of the Jiang family.
This lady came from a poor family and later debuted as an entertainment star. Because of her extraordinary beauty and the right role, she became an overnight sensation. After that, she became Jiang Shaoming's lover.
Later, Jiang Shaoming divorced his first wife, and she became his second wife.
But she is not the kind of woman who is scheming, arrogant and shrewd. She is only a little scheming, but her talent is not high, not scary, and her charm is not intentional, but because of her appearance, it is natural.
Her appearance can be described in one word: charming.
Her facial features are bold and heroic, and breathtakingly beautiful. Her skin is as white as snow, her lips are crimson, and her devilish figure makes her stand out in the crowd like a fiery red rose among a bunch of jasmine flowers.
Anyway, her character animations are still circulating online in the "Classic Beauty Moments" post.
When Wen Yao wrote about her, she was modeled after a Hong Kong star. Now, when she glanced at her inadvertently, she was immediately stunned. It turned out that she was a woman who met her aesthetic standards. She was so beautiful that she could hardly control her gaze and had to look away with great difficulty.
Feng Shumin had already walked over, looked at her with a smile and said, "I heard that Jiang Yue brought back a young girl, so I couldn't help but come over to take a look. Is this her?"
Mrs. Fang next to her immediately said, "Yes, Madam." Then she introduced Wen Yao, "This is Madam."
Wen Yao was still immersed in the beauty of the male protagonist's biological mother and couldn't extricate herself. She finally stood up and wanted to call her politely, but realized that she should call her "Mom"?
Feng Shumin probably didn't know that she was not Jiang Yue's girlfriend, but his wife. The word "Mom" must have scared her.
Thinking back, Jiang Yue didn't seem to call her mom, but called her aunt reluctantly.
Wen Yao immediately said, "Hello, Auntie."
Finally, feeling that his performance was really clumsy, he continued, "You are so beautiful!"
What she meant was that because you were so beautiful, I couldn't recover from my shock and my speech was stuttering.
I don't know if Feng Shumin understood, but she laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward, and replied, "I'm old and not good-looking anymore."
That's what he said, but the pride and confidence in his expression were not at all humble.
Feng Shumin sat down and asked her, "Are you Jiang Yue's..."
Wen Yao then slowly introduced herself: "We just went to register our marriage yesterday."
Feng Shumin was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.
After a full half minute, she finally asked, "Marriage?"
Wen Yao nodded, "Yes."
"So now... you and he are already married? Living in Loman Manor?"
Faced with Feng Shumin's incredulous question, Wen Yao nodded calmly.
Then Feng Shumin fell into even greater confusion.
She asked again: "Why haven't I seen you before? When did you and Jiang Yue... meet?"
Yes, just two months ago, Jiang Yue and Lu Wan were still an engaged couple!
Wen Yao smiled and replied, "We've known each other for a short time, just over a month."
"Oh...it can be considered a flash marriage then. Then you..." Feng Shumin was about to say it, but then she thought about it for a moment and asked, "Where are you from?"
Wen Yao knew that she wanted to ask about her family background.
A man like Jiang Yue would marry a wife who is at least of similar social status, if not completely of the same social status.
But Feng Shumin had never seen her before, so she was sure that she was not from their circle.
Which daughter would that be?
Wen Yao smiled softly and replied, "I'm from another place. I work in Binjiang."
This proves that she is not a rich girl from any family.
If Feng Shumin had been bolder, she would have guessed that she was just an ordinary young woman from a small town.
Just as Feng Shumin was about to say something else, the study door opened and Jiang Yue and Old Master Jiang walked out.
Jiang Yue's face was calm, while Old Master Jiang frowned slightly. He didn't look angry, but he wasn't very happy either.
Seeing Feng Shumin outside, Mr. Jiang said, "Call Shaoming and the others and ask them to come back early tonight. Jiang Yue just got married, let's have dinner together."
Feng Shumin immediately agreed, picked up her phone and started calling Jiang's father. Even though Wen Yao could only hear a few words from Feng Shumin, she could feel the shock on Jiang's father's side.
She felt like a stone, and the world in her work was the lake where the stone was thrown, causing a great commotion.
Feng Shumin was on the phone. Jiang Yue tenderly sat down next to Wen Yao and whispered in her ear, "Pay attention to your sitting posture."
Wen Yao felt that she was sitting elegantly enough and didn't want to pay attention to him.
She silently counted in her mind the people she would meet next.
Jiang Shaoming is Jiang Yue's father, and he will definitely meet him.
He is a minor supporting character with no distinct personality, not even a tool, so don't take him too seriously.
Huang Qianyi, Jiang Yue's mother, is not a good person, but she and Jiang Shaoming have divorced long ago, and she may not be in Binjiang, so she probably won't come.
Jiang Chen, Jiang Yue’s non-blood-related sister, is very powerful. She is the supporting actress.
Although she is a supporting female character, she cannot be considered vicious because the main vicious tasks are assigned to the supporting male character Jiang Yue, and she can only do some minor things.
This person's personality is not very good, so you have to be careful.
Then there is her male protagonist Jiang Lin.
Wen Yao was very excited: every female protagonist was her biological daughter, and every male protagonist was her biological son-in-law.
She was excited just thinking about her son-in-law Jiang Lin. She was afraid her heart would jump out of her chest if she saw him again.
"Did you hear what I said?" Jiang Yue's voice sounded in his ears.
