After she became the daughter of a vicious warlord, she cleaned herself up

Chapter 131 77 Incident

"Aunt, regarding the wedding date..." Jiang Shiyuan was about to delay it tactfully, but was interrupted by Chen Jingan.

"Ayuan, are you..." Chen Jing'an stood up excitedly, but was pulled back by Chen Qingyan beside him.

"Chen Jing'an, sit down!" She glared at Chen Jing'an, then smiled at Jiang Shiyuan and said, "Ayuan, finish your words first."

Jiang Shiyuan smiled obediently, "Uncle and aunt, you know that I am currently busy with the research and development of Jiayuan Pharmaceutical."

"Let's discuss the wedding date later!"

"After a while? How long will it take?" Mrs. Chen asked tentatively.

"This... I'm not sure yet..." Jiang Shiyuan really didn't know how to respond.

Mrs. Chen began to persuade her earnestly: "Xiaoyuan, we women don't need to be so strong, because our destiny is to marry and raise children."

"You have developed so many new drugs for Jiayuan Pharmaceutical during this period, and even brought Jiayuan Pharmaceutical back to life. We all see it. You have done an excellent job!"

"So the rest of the things will be left to Jing'an. As for you, just marry into our Chen family and be a pampered young lady, okay?"

Jiang Shiyuan was most annoyed by Mrs. Chen's decadent feudal ideas, and said solemnly: "Aunt, after all, I am a new intellectual woman who has returned from studying abroad. It is not my wish to be a wife and child raiser and confined to a deep house!"

"Xiaoyuan, how come you are..."

Chen Xiangyun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly came out to smooth things over and said, "Sister-in-law, aren't you a little too impatient today?"

"The wedding date of Xiaoyuan and Jing'an must be discussed with the presence of both parents."

"After all, I am only Xiaoyuan's stepmother. It would be unreasonable to hastily set a wedding date today."

"Why not wait until Xiaoyuan's birthday party on August 8th, when the Marshal and Xiaojia are here, and then we can discuss it together!"

"Xiangyun, you..." Mrs. Chen was speechless for a moment after hearing what Chen Xiangyun said.

She didn't expect that Chen Xiangyun, who was as anxious about the marriage between the Jiang and Chen families as she was, would speak out to stop it today.

"Mom, please stop forcing Ayuan, okay?"

Chen Jing'an didn't want Jiang Shiyuan to suffer any injustice, so he looked at his mother with a pleading look.

Master Chen coughed twice and echoed, "Xiangyun is right. It is indeed our Chen family's inconsideration to hastily propose to set a wedding date..."

Chen Qingyan also nodded and joked with himself: "Yes, and even a 26-year-old girl like me doesn't want to get married. Xiaoyuan is only 22, so there is no need to rush!"

Seeing that her husband, two children, and her sister-in-law did not support her, Mrs. Chen could only sigh.

"Alas, I was too hasty. Let's discuss this matter later!"

"Everyone eat first, eat!"

"Thank you, uncle and aunt, for your consideration!" Jiang Shiyuan nodded slightly, then looked at Chen Xiangyun with gratitude.

Chen Xiangyun smiled slightly and gave her a reassuring look in return.

Thus, the storm of urging marriage at the Chen family dinner was temporarily settled.

After the meal, everyone exchanged greetings for a while, and then Chen Xiangyun took Jiang Shiyuan away. Jiang Shiyuan drove them back to Jiang Mansion.

The roar of the engine was particularly clear in the silent night, just like Jiang Shiyuan's heartbeat at the moment, rapid and restless.

She glanced at Chen Xiangyun in the rearview mirror and saw that she was resting with her eyes closed, as if she had no idea about the upcoming war.

She secretly told herself that she must protect the Jiang family and everyone she cared about.

After returning to the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Shiyuan and Chen Xiangyun had a heart-to-heart talk in the living room.

"This is the top-quality jasmine tea, but I bought it from Tianxiang Teahouse specially for you!" Jiang Shiyuan said as he skillfully brewed the tea.

"Yeah, it's really good!" Chen Xiangyun took a sip and praised: "Xiaoyuan, you still understand me!"

"As long as Aunt Xiang likes it." Jiang Shiyuan smiled slightly and handed a piece of lotus jade cake to Chen Xiangyun.

"Try this, it's the signature snack of Tianxiang Tea House!"

Chen Xiangyun took the pastry, took a bite, and found it sweet but not greasy, melting in her mouth. She immediately revealed a satisfied smile.

Then Jiang Shiyuan put down his teacup and said with gratitude: "Aunt Xiang, I am really grateful to you for helping me out today, otherwise I really don't know how to end it."

Chen Xiangyun waved her hand and said with a smile: "This is what I should do as a member of the Jiang family and as your stepmother."

"The war in Shanghai is imminent and the situation is unclear. It is indeed not a good time to get married, but I can't tell my cousin's wife."

"So I can only bring up your father and brother, but it is indeed in accordance with etiquette that they should be present."

Chen Xiangyun sighed and said helplessly: "Hey, your aunt is also doing this for your own good, but her thinking is still old-fashioned. She thinks that the ultimate destiny of a woman is to get married and have children."

"I know, that's why I have to seize the time and make something of it!"

"Let everyone know that we women can create a new world on our own!"

Jiang Shiyuan's tone was firm and his eyes were full of confidence.

Chen Xiangyun looked at this energetic and confident girl, and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

She seemed to see herself back then, and also saw the hope for the Jiang family's future.

Later, in order to thank Chen Xiangyun for helping him out, Jiang Shiyuan gave her some advice on stock market matters.

Jiang Shiyuan asked Chen Xiangyun to buy some more shares of Jiayuan Pharmaceutical while the stock price was at a normal level.

Once penicillin is available in large quantities on the market, Jiayuan Pharmaceutical's stock price will usher in another wave of crazy growth.

After hearing this, Chen Xiangyun couldn't help but be amazed. She didn't expect that Jiang Shiyuan also understood stock finance and market operations.

"You are such a knowledgeable and talented kid!" Chen Xiangyun couldn't help but praise.

Jiang Shiyuan asked again with concern: "By the way, has your recent migraine gotten better?"

Chen Xiangyun smiled and said, "It has been a long time since I had this disease. The acupuncture method passed down from the Zhong family is indeed magical!"

"Aunt Xiang, you're too kind." Jiang Shiyuan smiled faintly, but he couldn't help but remember that today was July 7th.

As time passed, Jiang Shiyuan's heart became heavier and heavier.

She knew that the shadow of war had already enveloped the land and that they didn't have much time left.

"It's getting late, Aunt Xiang, you should go to bed early." Jiang Shiyuan stood up and said goodbye.

"Okay, good night, Xiaoyuan." Chen Xiangyun watched Jiang Shiyuan go upstairs, her eyes full of love and appreciation.

Jiang Shiyuan returned to the bedroom on the third floor, closed the door, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

She walked to the window, opened the curtains, looked at the dark night sky outside, her heart filled with anxiety.

After she finished washing up, she lay down on her large, soft princess bed and began to toss and turn again.

It is exactly 1937:7 p.m. on July 7, 10, and there are still ten minutes before the July Incident occurs.

At that time, the Japanese troops stationed near Lugou Bridge would lie that a soldier participating in the exercise was missing and demand to enter Wancheng to search.

The Chinese garrison in Wancheng naturally refused, so the treacherous Japanese army took this opportunity to launch a massive attack on Wancheng and Lugou Bridge...
