This time, it was the first meeting between the parents and elders from both sides!
It wasn’t the usual casual wine or banquet encounter, where a nod and a greeting would suffice.
As the old couple was helping each other straighten their clothes, a line of cars had already arrived.
"Yo, is that them? They’re here, they’re here." Jiang’s mother was the first to speak.
Father Jiang cleared his throat vigorously twice before he managed to feign a calm and composed demeanor:
"It’s them, let’s go, let’s go meet them."
"Come on, come on, hurry up."
The Lu Family had already all gotten out of the cars, and the Jiang Family’s old couple had also arrived:
"In-laws, over here, over here."
As soon as this title was dropped, the people from the Lu Family couldn’t help but tremble a bit.
Mr. Lu and Lu’s mother were the first to respond. As the saying goes, don’t slap a smiling face, and besides, the Jiang couple were decent people and had raised their son well.
Now that they were one family, there was no need to hold on to so many reservations.
"Have you been waiting long? Oh, was all this trouble really necessary? We all know each other, it’s just the same if we sit inside, isn’t it?"
"Not at all, it was certainly necessary, all part of what we should do."
Jiang’s mother and Lu’s mother had already linked arms, clearly getting along wonderfully.
As for Mr. Lu, he shared a knowing smile with Father Jiang:
"Old Jiang!" For more chapters visıt novel-fire.ɴet
You could say that the two dads had grown up together as childhood friends and now that their families were unified, their relationship had naturally progressed to another level.
Although Jiang’s mother was linking arms with Lu’s mother, she hadn’t forgotten about Lu Family’s eldest branch and third branch.
"Eldest sister-in-law, Brother Three, Brother Three’s wife, come on, come on, let’s go inside and sit down, don’t stand out here."
Even the way she addressed them had changed.
It must be said, no wonder Jiang’s mother was able to manage such a large Jiang Group!
"A Yan, where’s your ’little Bai’?" she asked again.
Lu Yan was still quite respectful towards his elders:
"He’s busy in Province X," he replied.
Bai Luo, as a director, was certainly always on set, being away from home for months was common.
Lu Yan was also busy, the only ones suffering were their two sons, who only had the nanny for company.
But in their circle, who didn’t start out this way?
It was nothing unusual.
Jiang’s mother, a powerful businesswoman herself, of course, understood completely.
"It’ll get better later, they’re young now, it’s their time to strive and struggle."
Afterwards, the whole group gradually entered the private club.
Clearly, the elders up front hadn’t paid much attention to the young couple at the back.
Jiang Ye and Lu Jing quietly followed everyone else, which was just as well to avoid being surrounded and bombarded with questions—Lu Jing really wasn’t good at handling such situations.
At that moment, the man suddenly reached out and tugged at the woman’s clothes.
"Wife, you’re too tense, relax a bit."
Jiang Ye could clearly feel that his wife was all tensed up, maintaining this wasn’t good.
Lu Jing took a deep breath:
"I know, can you talk a bit less?"
Besides, whether she was tense or not wasn’t something she could just control.
She wanted to calm down immediately too.
But her body’s reaction was just , what could she do?
Jiang Ye was taken aback by the retort and then broke into a good-natured laugh:
"Do you really need to be this nervous? You’ve met my parents before, didn’t we all have dinner together last time?"
"Do you think everyone is as thick-skinned as you, whose skins are thicker than city walls?"
Jiang Ye pursed his lips:
"Madam, personal attacks aren’t part of this!"
