"Don’t even mention how relieved the Jiang family felt, even Zhao Jun’s father nearly wanted to set off firecrackers in celebration."
Moreover, an idea suddenly sprouted: if his own lad really got together with the Jiang Family’s daughter, their ancestral grave would practically be smoking with good fortune!
That was something he didn’t even dare to dream about on a normal day.
Now, it seemed like there was a slight chance.
So, his mind actually began envisioning all sorts of beautiful fantasies.
But reality was utterly different!
How could the Jiang Family agree?
They would have to be out of their minds to consent to this.
Not to mention the incident that had happened before.
If Jiang Yuan really dared, Jiang Ye would personally kick her out of the house.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuan didn’t have this intention.
It had always just been a young girl’s normal admiration for a handsome and talented boy, perhaps it could be considered a crush at most.
The two hadn’t even come close to starting something, so there was no need to think so much.
Jiang Yuan’s cheeks were flushed red. Zhao Jun’s words just now were undoubtedly a confession, and it was in front of her own brother and sister-in-law no less.
The girl was shy and had a thin skin, how could she handle this?
Jiang Ye, of course, noticed his sister’s shyness, but the truth had to be made clear:
"Jiang Yuan, what about you?"
"Are you stammering?"
Could his tone be a little nicer?
Jiang Yuan’s lips moved several times before she finally said:
"I don’t feel that way about Zhao Jun!
I just really admire his talent and knowledge."
This time, she didn’t stammer, and her words were loud and clear.
As soon as she spoke, Zhao Jun’s face whitened, and he looked at Jiang Yuan several times, his gaze filled with apparent grievance and hurt.
Being publicly rejected by the girl he liked, even a thick-skinned boy would probably take a very long time to recover.
And with Jiang Yuan’s words, the issue was pretty much settled.
It seemed unnecessary for the Jiang Family to intervene any further.
After all, the attitude of Zhao Jun and his father had always been quite clear, so there was no need to stir up trouble now, right?
Jiang Ye glanced meaningfully at President Zhao and then gestured to his wife:
"Let’s go. If you want to buy something, we can go to another store."
They had lost all desire to shop at this store.
Maybe because it was his own family’s business, so he was particularly unimpressed, things from other places always seemed more appealing.
Lu Jing hummed in agreement, then turned to look at her younger sister-in-law,
Jiang Yuan had long since put down the gifts she had previously chosen; she would never give them in this lifetime.
"Sister-in-law, let’s go." Follow current novᴇls on novelꜰire.net
The three left the store, leaving the matters to be dealt with by the Zhao Family.
Among them, the Li family would undoubtedly be the first one to be dealt with.
There was no need to think about it; it was obvious enough to guess by just using their toes.
That’s just how social rules worked: big fish eat little fish, little fish eat shrimps, shrimps eat mud, one layer after another, interlocking and intertwined.
Upon leaving the mall, cars were already waiting.
The three got in, with Lu Jing and Jiang Yuan sitting in the back seat, and Jiang Ye, a grown man, naturally took the passenger seat.
After boarding, the car didn’t linger and started up immediately.
This left a group of media reporters who had caught wind of the scent sorely disappointed, but none dared to express their anger and could only grumble behind their backs a few more times.
Jiang Yuan didn’t dare to make a sound for a long time, fearing she might provoke her brother’s ire.
In the end, it was Lu Jing who spoke up to break the silence:
"Jiang Ye, how did you come here?"
Neither had the time to call, so who informed him?
If Captain Jiang knew how to find out, that would indeed be very coincidental.
