Lin Zhaoyue's face quickly turned bright red.
Jiang Jingzhou didn't know what was wrong with her. He carefully stepped forward and took her arm, "Where do you feel unwell?"
"..." How could she possibly explain something like this?
"It's nothing," Lin Zhaoyue said dismissively, pushing his arm away.
Jiang Jingzhou followed closely behind her. While Lin Zhaoyue was in the restroom, he stood guard outside.
If his wife hadn't forbade him to go in, he definitely would have stayed inside to keep watch.
Hua Xiuyun looked at her "stupid son" through the window from inside the house, and she was utterly speechless.
What are you looking at?
Jiang Guofu curiously peered over, unaware that anyone was in the restroom, and wondered, "What is Jiang Jingzhou doing standing there?!"
"Your son seems to want to stick to his wife 24 hours a day."
Hua Xiuyun shook her head and drew the curtains again.
"Hmph, what's so good about this wife? She only just got up at this hour."
Jiang Guofu was still concerned about Lin Zhaoyue's identity.
He values Jiang Jingzhou's future the most.
If it weren't for Hua Xiuyun protecting Jiang Jingzhou, he would never have agreed to this marriage.
"Stop making veiled accusations." Hua Xiuyun glanced at him and retorted, "When we first got married, I also overslept on the second day. So, according to what you're saying, you shouldn't have married me?"
“No,” Jiang Guofu quickly coaxed in a soft voice, “Can you please stop taking the blame for everything I say? I absolutely didn’t mean that. You can sleep as late as you want.”
"That's right, it doesn't matter how late the daughter-in-law sleeps. What kind of society is this now? Your mother didn't say anything back then, so naturally I, as the mother-in-law, won't say anything either."
Hua Xiuyun is determined to be a good mother-in-law who is "reasonable and understanding".
She learned from her mother-in-law.
"..." Jiang Guofu couldn't understand it. It was one thing for his son to fall in love at first sight, but why did Hua Xiuyun also like Lin Zhaoyue so much?
This daughter-in-law seems to be quite capable!
It's no use what Jiang Guofu says now, he's already married her.
He should use this time to think about Jingzhou's future.
...
The Mu family.
Ning Guizhi was so angry when she returned from the wedding banquet that she lay in bed for two days and couldn't eat anything.
Mu Jingwan didn't have the energy to comfort her mother; all she could think about was: "It's over, our relationship with the Jiang family is ruined."
Even if Jiang Jingzhou and Lin Zhaoyue divorce in the future, Hua Xiuyun will not give her priority.
No, the relationship between the two families must be improved; they can't afford to have any disagreements.
Mu Jingwan was determined to go to the Jiang family to apologize, and Ning Guizhi almost fainted from anger when she heard this.
The mother and daughter have lost face. If they shamelessly apologize now, the Mu family will become a laughing stock in the entire capital!
This is no longer just a matter between the two young people, but a matter between Jiang Mu and his family.
The most crucial thing is that Liu Xu has started to target the Mu family's business. Mu's father has been away from home for two days in a row, saying that there has been some trouble at the factory.
"Jingwan, don't you understand now? Even if you go, they still won't give you a friendly look. The relationship between the two families has already soured. There's no need to try to win Yue Shu's favor."
Ning Guizhi looked at her daughter helplessly. Her daughter was good in every way, but she had been too pampered since she was a child, which made her think so simply now.
If this matter could be resolved with a simple apology, Liu Xu wouldn't have retaliated against them.
Even for Hua Xiuyun's sake, Liu Xu had to think twice before acting.
"Mom, what I care about is not anything else, but Jiang Jingzhou."
Mu Jingwan suddenly reached out and grasped her mother's hand. "There's still a long road ahead. What if they divorce one day? Wouldn't that give me another chance?"
"What?"
So my daughter is still waiting here.
Even if they get divorced, it will be their second marriage, while her daughter's will be her first.
If word gets out, what will become of the Mu family's reputation?!
"Jingwan, you go to school right now. You don't need to worry about things at home."
It's currently the holiday season, but Mu Jingwan wants to take advantage of this time to study hard, so she hasn't come back to school.
She returned suddenly after learning of Jiang Jingzhou's marriage.
"Mom, I've decided that Jiang Jingzhou is the one for me. If you don't let me marry him, I'd rather stay single for the rest of my life."
"Good! She truly is my daughter; she inherited her stubbornness from me." Mu's father's voice suddenly came, and Ning Guizhi hurriedly asked if the troubles at the factory had been resolved.
"No, it's obvious they're determined to destroy the Mu family. Nothing I do will make a difference."
Mr. Mu hadn't slept well for two whole nights in a row, and his eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep.
Upon hearing this, Mu Jingwan was very worried. "Dad, I'll go apologize to Liu Xu! Apologizing is the only option now."
"It's no use." If the other party were really that easy to talk to, they wouldn't have achieved what they have today as the richest man in Beijing.
"Jingwan, I know you like Jiang Jingzhou, but only you can help the family get through this difficult time. After all, you got into this mess yourself!"
After finishing his sentence, Mu's father paused, "The best solution right now is a marriage alliance. Go back and think it over carefully. Tell me when you've made up your mind."
Ning Guizhi sat up abruptly. "Who is it?"
In fact, they only have this one precious daughter, and they are very reluctant to let her get married.
I only hope that my daughter will be happy, healthy and safe throughout her life.
"Old Zhao's grandson."
Ning Guizhi: "..."
After a moment of silence, she said again, "How could he possibly be worthy of our daughter!"
