When Chen's mother, Chen Ruixue, along with the eldest son Chen Ruiguo, the fourth son Chen Ruijun, and Bai Weiye arrived at Huixianlou, they were already half an hour late.
To be precise, Chen's mother deliberately arrived late, just to give Jiang Tiecheng a hard time.
The group arrived at a private room at Huixianlou Restaurant, which they had reserved in advance.
When Chen's mother entered the private room, she saw that there were no people in the room, and the tables and chairs were arranged very neatly.
His brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Is no waiter coming?"
She was late because she was Chen Ruixue's elder and had unparalleled authority and legitimacy.
But if Jiang Tiecheng is late, that would be a bit much.
Knowing full well that he was coming to see his girlfriend's mother but arriving late was a huge disrespect to the Chen family.
"Ms. Chen has no guests in the private room; you are the first guests to arrive."
Chen's mother's face darkened, and Chen Ruixue looked outside anxiously.
No, she specifically reminded Brother Jiang yesterday that it would be 12 o'clock today.
Chen Ruixue explained somewhat hastily,
"Mom, Brother Jiang probably encountered something on the way, otherwise he wouldn't have been late. He's a very punctual person."
Seeing his sister protecting Jiang Tiecheng, Chen Ruijun couldn't help but sneer.
“Ruixue, you’re not a child anymore, you’re all grown up now.”
Every time you lecture me with grand principles, you have a whole set of them, but now that you're talking to yourself, you're not being reasonable at all.
Who is Jiang Tiecheng?
He dared to be late to see his mother.
Does he even respect his elders?
"Did you respect your elders? I think Jiang Tiecheng did it on purpose."
"Fourth Brother, don't make trouble here. I know Brother Jiang better than you do what kind of person he is."
He's definitely not someone who's late for no reason; something must have happened to him.
Seeing her daughter and son about to start arguing, Chen's mother immediately patted her daughter's arm and said soothingly.
"Ruixue, Mother knows that something might have happened to Xiaojiang. Alright, let's sit down and wait for him."
Chen Ruijun said angrily,
"Mom, you always spoil her like this. Look at how you've spoiled her now."
"It's clearly their fault, yet they expect so many of us to wait for them. Jiang Tiecheng is really going too far."
“You all always think I’m targeting Jiang Tiecheng, but look at his actions and his character. Does he deserve my respect?”
Seeing that his sister's face was pale, Chen Ruiguo immediately kicked Chen Ruijun and said sternly.
"Alright, shut your mouth."
However, he also felt somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Tiecheng, whom he had never met before.
Whatever the reason, it's a bit much for someone to be so late when you've made an appointment with your girlfriend's elder, especially if you've specified that it's your mother.
Regardless of the reason, you should withdraw beforehand.
To be precise, Jiang Tiecheng made a very bad first impression on all of them.
Bai Weiye said with a smile.
“Master’s wife, junior sister, and senior brother, how about this, Xiao Jiang might not know the location of Huixian Tower.”
I'll go to the main gate to greet him; you all sit here for now.
Chen Ruijun jumped up.
"Brother Bai, I'll go with you."
Sitting here having to watch other people's expressions is worse than me going with you.
With a cold snort, Chen Ruijun followed Bai Weiyan to the door.
The two stood at the intersection—or rather, on a main road—where they could see people coming from both directions.
Seeing Chen Ruijun's stern face, Bai Weiye couldn't help but say...
"Fourth Brother, please don't say that. Although Junior Sister is confused, she is young and passionate about love. The more you talk to her like this, the more disgusted she will become."
Moreover, the closer they get to Jiangtiecheng.
You'll make things worse by doing that.
"Actually, I know, but look at Jiang Tiecheng, is he good enough for my sister?"
Both of them were speechless. Bai Weiye couldn't say much, as he was just his master's most prized disciple.
However, he really couldn't interfere in his junior sister's marriage, so he could only symbolically offer some obstacles.
The two waited for a full half hour without seeing Jiang Tiecheng, and Chen Ruijun became furious.
"Let's go back and have dinner."
It seems the other party isn't planning to come.
"Jiang Tiecheng is a real scoundrel to leave us here an hour late."
Even Bai Weiye was a little angry. Although he looked down on Jiang Tiecheng, he did not expect Jiang Tiecheng to dare to humiliate the Chen family like this.
The two returned to the private room in a huff, and as soon as they pushed open the door, they saw a lively atmosphere inside.
"You two are back! Come, come, look! What a coincidence! We've actually run into our saviors."
Chen's mother stood up excitedly.
Jiang Tiecheng sat in the chair next to her.
Clearly, before Chen Ruijun and Bai Weiye entered, the atmosphere in the private room was quite lively, with everyone, including Chen Ruiguo, wearing smiles.
"Madam, this..."
Bai Wei was also a little dazed, and looked at his master's wife with a complicated expression. How could it be so fast?
Why did the teacher's wife accept Jiang Tiecheng so quickly, and when did Jiang Tiecheng come in?
Those two definitely didn't miss their eyeballs.
Suddenly, I felt a pang of sadness, remembering how I had earned the favor of my teacher's wife when I became her student.
It took three to five years for his wife to gradually treat him better.
But the teacher's wife was so nice to Jiang Tiecheng on their first meeting.
Seeing Bai Weiye's stunned expression, Chen's mother hurriedly said something.
"do not you remember?
Oh, you fainted at the time, of course you don't remember!
This comrade is the one who saved our lives back then. What a coincidence that he was talking to his friend next door.
Do you know who lives next door? It turns out it's Director Chen.
They're all family, so I invited them all over.
Director Chen waved with a smile.
"It's been so long since we last met. Come, come, sit down."
I didn't expect to run into you guys here. I was just going to chat with Xiao Jiang for a bit.
I never expected to run into such a large group of you.
"Today, since we've met by chance, let's make the most of this opportunity. Come, come, I must treat you all to a meal."
Jiang Tiecheng was also at a loss for words. Little did he know that Director Chen was actually Chen's father's own brother.
He had come here fully prepared to meet his future mother-in-law, but he didn't expect to arrive too early and run into Director Chen.
He pulled him aside and talked for a while with the criminal investigation team next door.
As a result, Director Chen ran into his mother-in-law when he saw him off.
Unexpectedly, Chen's mother was Director Chen's sister-in-law.
Chen's mother clearly only saw herself as her savior and was completely unaware of her other identity.
From the moment they enthusiastically pulled Director Chen and him into the private room, where everyone sat down to chat, until now, they haven't given Jiang Tiecheng a chance to interject at all.
