They urged you to get engaged again?
nothing to be happy about." Xiang Wan tried hard to pull at her lips, but her eyes were filled with gloom. "Miss Ren, you're too naive. In the future, when making friends or helping others, it's best..."You put it that way, I'm being overbearing." Father Jiang's lips curved upwards, but there was no smile in his eyes.
He Chanhua drank the red wine in silence, which could be considered acquiescence.
"It's rare to see you so devoted to someone," Father Jiang sighed, hinting at something. "Your mother has a falling out with Aunt Lin, and it's fine that she favors Wanyi, but you too... It's not kind."
The He and Jiang families are getting married, so Xiangwan is considered an enemy of the Jiang family. However, people from the He family repeatedly stand up for Xiangwan. At least from an outsider's perspective, the He family is acting very unprincipled.
“Two years ago, that car accident, outsiders don't know, but you don't need to pretend. The one who was tricked and suffered a loss was me, not the Jiang family. You don't have to come before me every other day pretending to be victims to gain sympathy.” He Hanchuan slightly frowned, raised his red wine, drained it in one gulp, and a rare anger flashed across his handsome face.
Mr. Jiang frowned, his face a mix of confusion and annoyance. "What do you mean by playing dumb You're saying the car accident two years ago was staged by our family"
With a slight upward inflection.
"Uncle Jiang knows whether it is or not." These two years, the Jiang family has been talking about this matter, urging He Hanchuan and Jiang Qingran to get engaged. His patience has almost run out.
Jiang's father stared at him, growling in a low voice: "Hanchuan, don't forget, when the police came that year, they said the evidence was conclusive."
"Hmph!" He Hanchuan sneered, "If you insist on pretending to be clueless and argue with me about this, then excuse me."
After he finished speaking, he put the empty wine glass on the table and walked away.
Father Jiang stayed put, his expression flickering, but in the end, he quickly walked a few steps to catch up with him, smiling and saying, "Alright, if you don't want to talk about that, we won't."
He gave him a cool glance, his expression back to normal, but he didn't speak.
"I'm getting old, my strength isn't what it used to be when you young people were. Let's sit down and talk." Father Jiang went around He Hanchuan and sat in the empty seat behind him.
He sat down next to him, separated by a seat. "If you have anything to say, please speak plainly. I don't have much time,"
"Hanchuan, you haven't agreed to marry Qingran these past two years. Are you still thinking of someone else" Father Jiang said.
The temperature in the hall was a bit high, Ge Hanchuan took off his suit jacket and draped it over the back of the chair, "I just don't want to be with a woman whose every hair seems to be laced with scheming."
"Assuming the car accident two years ago was staged, did she harm your interests Did she harm the He family's interests" Father Jiang said, "No, right Why are you getting hung up on this"
He Hanchuan let out a cold snort, "Uncle Jiang's way of making amends with his daughter is truly unique."
“It wasn’t meant to offend Qingran, I just want you to avoid some detours.” Jiang’s father tapped his finger lightly in front of him, saying in a tone of someone who had been there: “You’ve had smooth sailing all your life, maybe Qingran played you this time, and you can’t get over the hurdle in your heart, so…”
He interrupted him, his voice cool. "Did Uncle Jiang admit that she was the one who plotted against me"
Jiang Fu sighed, without answering him. Instead, he continued, "Hanchuan, don't let the arrogance of youth ruin your future. Qingran may have some thoughts, but she has never done anything to hurt you or the He family. That is enough."
"I never felt my future needed a woman to fill it." He stared at him, with an implication. "I'm not like Uncle Jiang."
Mr. Jiang seemed not to hear the meaning in his words, "You stand out among the younger generation of the He family, but you are not favored by the old man. Your shareholding in the company is nowhere near that of your uncle's children, right"
“So” He Hanchuan crossed his legs, one hand resting on the back of the chair, his slightly open shirt revealing his well-defined collarbone and slight chest muscles.
Mr. Jiang, "The old man really likes Qingran. If you marry her, she can speak many good words for you in front of the old man. Besides, if you're quick enough, marrying Qingran and giving the old man his first grandson will mean the old man definitely won't give the child a small share."
He went on and on, He Ganchuan directly summarized in one sentence, “Are you here to urge me and Qingran to get engaged”
"...Yes," Father Jiang paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
He chuckled lightly, stood up, and picked up his suit jacket. "I'll say it again, if you're in a hurry, you can find someone else to marry her."
He put on his suit jacket, didn't give Jiang's father a chance to speak again, and turned directly away.
The smile on Father Jiang's face vanished. He picked up a glass of red wine, drank it down in one gulp, and slammed it heavily onto the table, gritting his teeth, "Unfilial brat!"
Although the birthday celebrant left just two hours into the party, it didn't dampen the guests' spirits.
After parting ways with Mr. Jiang, He Hanchuan unexpectedly encountered Zhong Yuxuan in a white suit and Ren Xiaoya hanging on him like a koala.
"This girl wouldn't stop following me to find Miss Xiang. But I looked around with her for two whole circles and couldn't find her. When I asked others, they all said they didn't know. So I could only come to you." Zhong Yu Xuan looked helplessly.
He touched his brow and succinctly uttered two words, "Leaving."
"Gone But she's the birthday star! How did she leave Where did she go now" Ren Xiaoya let go of her master, forgetting her fear at this moment, and stared with wide eyes, blurting out in rapid succession.
He raised his eyes and glanced at her.
Ren Xiaoya's straight spine instantly bent down, and she immediately cowered behind Zhong Yuxuan.
"I don't know." He Hanchuan frowned slightly, sat down in the seat beside him, pinched a piece of snack, threw it into his mouth, and chewed slowly.
Ren Xiaoya immediately wilted, then secretly glanced at He Hanchuan, and suddenly covered her stomach, moaning twice, "Master, my aunt is here, I'm leaving first!"
John Yu-Hsien, "…"
It's unbearable to look at.
"Master, gift, gift! You give the gift to Xiang Wan!" Ren Xiaoya ran halfway and turned back, shoving the gift into his hand, then "Aiyo aiyo" covered her stomach and ran away in a crowd of people's stifled laughter.
"That's just her personality, nothing to laugh about." Zhong Yuxuan pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and then glanced at He Hanchuan, "Having a bad day"
He casually wiped his mouth with a tissue, "Even if you were stuck with adhesive bandages, you'd react like that."
"Even a plaster that's meant for dogs can be good if it sticks to the right person. My little girl clings to me, and I'm quite happy about it." Zhong Yuxuan played with the gift box, his face beaming. "Before, Xiang Wan clung to you, weren't you also quite happy"
At this, He Hanchuan twitched his lip, a flash of coldness in his eyes, "I never said she was clinging to me. I find it pleasing."
Zhong Yuxuan let out a frustrated sigh and returned to the previous topic, "That mess from the Jiang family is truly unbearable, no matter how hard you try to get rid of it."
He leaned closer to He Hanchuan, squinting his eyes and saying, "Hanchuan, are they urging you to get engaged again"
