nager would be even more dissatisfied with her."See you tomorrow, Director," Xiang Wan said goodbye to Li Meiying and then carried her bag out the door.After the doors were completely closed, Lee Meiy..."No thanks." He Hanchuan hummed and pushed Zhong Yuxuan away who was about to get close to his face.
"......Zhong Yuxuan decisively took off his gold-rimmed glasses, which had been pushed askew, and asked curiously, “First it was Mrs. Jiang, the Jiang siblings, and then Mr. Jiang. All four of them came to see you, all urging you to get married”
He frowned, not bothering to hide his dislike for the four members of the Jiang family in front of him. "What else"
"I thought besides nagging me about marriage, they might also say other things," Zhong Yuxuan said. "For example, they might bring up distancing myself from Xiang Wan, or ask about my mom's and my attitude towards Xiang Wan...that kind of thing."
He Hanchuan had lived for twenty-four years. Although he wasn't favored by Old Master He, he had never felt so stifled before—
Being tricked and unable to retaliate immediately, I was forced to do things against my will under the other party's threat.
He raised his glass of red wine, the chilled liquid sliding down his throat, and for a moment, he felt some of the heat inside him subside. "You guessed right about those things, they did say them,"
"Pressuring me into marriage again, and meddling in everything, the Jiang family is getting more and more arrogant here!" Zhong Yuxuan pinched a piece of dim sum and sighed.
He gave a cold snort, refusing to answer.
"Hanchuan," Zhong Yuxian tossed the remaining half of the pastry into his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "You marrying Jiang Qingran, your mother..."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Isn't that awkward"
The relationship between Father He, Mother Jiang, and Zhao Yu was quite complicated. Aside from some younger generations, it was common knowledge among the people in their circle.
He is undoubtedly a playboy, with women around him like changing clothes. However, Jiang's mother is an exception for him.
The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts. He father had once wanted to marry her mother, but she found him too ambiguous with too many women and instead married Jiang's father, who was very enthusiastic in his pursuit of her at the time.
If things ended here, that would be fine. Who hasn't had a crush or two when they were younger
To the joy of everyone, after a single decree from his father, He followed his grandfather's wishes and married Zhao Yu, a suitable match.
At the same time, Mrs. Jiang had been pampered since she was a child. Even after her marriage to the Jiang family, Mr. Jiang treated her well, but if there was even a word that didn't please her, she would immediately go to Mr. He and complain.
Even on the night of He Fu's wedding to Zhao Yu, He Fu was called away by Jiang Mu's words and didn't return all night. Since the two got married, there have been many similar or even worse incidents.
Because of this, when Zhao Yu first married into the family, she often quarreled with Father He over it. Several times, things escalated to the point of divorce. However, both the He and Zhao families disagreed.
As for Jiang's father, due to his wife's connections, the Jiang family received many benefits from the He Group. So he turned a blind eye to everything else, as long as his children were well.
He Hanchuan's long fingers lightly tapped the table, his fist clenched slightly as he turned his head to look at him and countered, "Uncle Zhong placed that child outside in the family group as the executive president, while you, a dignified young master of the Zhong family, were once driven abroad. Don't you find it irritating"
Silence.
After a while, Zhong Yuxuan put on his glasses, chuckled softly, and said with his head slightly lowered, "I asked the line. Consider what I just said as if it never happened."
"I might have overstepped, I apologize." He Hanchuan rubbed his temples, his eyes deep. "Marrying into the He family, there are some things my mother can't help but control, just like you and I being born in the Zhong and He families, there are some things we can't help either."
The following is in response to Zhong Yuxuan's previous question.
“Alright, let’s not dwell on the bad stuff. Cheers!” Zhong Yuxuan raised his glass with a warm smile on his handsome face.
He bumped fists with Han Chuan and raised his cup, not putting it down until the dregs were gone. His unclear gaze then fell on the couple from the Xiang family as they moved through the crowd.
Zhong Yuxuan followed his gaze and let out an "ah", "Before Jiang's siblings came to find you, they told Uncle Xiang and Aunt Xiang how Xiang Wan had bullied them. I happened to bump into them with the maid. Guess what"
“All the mistakes are Wan's, all the grievances are Qingran's, and all the justice belongs to Jiang Qi Feng.” He Hanchuan’s expression was laced with a hint of sarcasm.
"The summary was spot on!" Zhong Yuxuan clapped his hands and sighed, "The Xiang family couple are truly interesting, and that Jiang Shao..." He smiled enigmatically, "I wonder if he's truly naive or just pretending to be."
He didn't speak this time, but Jiang Qifeng wasn't stupid either. He just trusted his sister too much.
Zhong Yuxuan nudged him in the arm, "You act like you don't care about your late father and mother. You barely even act like a brother to her, and she's already so pitiful. You should just stop."
"It's none of your business," He Hanchuan's eyes darkened, his fingers tapping on the table a little faster.
Zhong Yuxuan tapped his constantly tapping hand on the table and coughed lightly, "That young lady has been following you for so many years. You haven't had any deep grudges with her, how come you..."
"You seem to have a lot on your mind these days." He Hanchuan didn't wait for him to finish, stood up, fastened the buttons on his suit jacket, and his expression turned slightly stern.
Zhong Yuxuan scrambled to his feet, “Fine, fine, you’re not letting go so I won’t say anything else, okay If it weren’t for my girl pulling me here to plead on your behalf, who would want to get involved in all this drama with you and Xiang Wan”
He shoved the gift into Keqing's arms, "Here, make sure it gets to Amane's hands! Otherwise, my little girl will come at me again! I'm outta here!"
After saying that, he got up and left without another word.
He glanced at the gift box in his hand, casually threw it on the table, and then walked forward. But after a few steps, he turned back and left with the gift.
After spending more than an hour with Auntie Liu,向晚 left when the latter told her "Come have noodles at my place whenever you're free" and "I'll introduce my nephew to you sometime".
"Wanwan, your parents haven't come home yet. Won't you go see the two kids" Lin Nalu felt that Xiang Wan was too depressed now, her eyes had no light, maybe seeing the two children would be better.
Towards Evening lowered her head, the streetlights and shadows of buildings on the roadside flashed across her face like lightning. She remained silent for a long time, and in Lin Na Lu's expectant gaze, she shook her head.
"Gone is gone!" Xiang Yu completely didn't understand his wife's meaning. He looked disgusted, but his eyes couldn't hide the doting. "Those siblings could drive a person crazy, if they weren't my children, I would have beaten them up already!"
Lin Na Lu glared at him.
Xiang Yu felt wronged, "Wan Wan dressed up so beautifully today, what if she hugged the siblings and they peed on her It's not like she can see them every day."
"Wanwan, are you tired today" Lin Nalu ignored her husband and whispered to Xiang Wan, "Why don't we visit them brother and sister when our parents aren't home another day"
