Chapter 119: Is President Zhan a good son-in-law?
Jiang Qianhui was thinking, didn't they have a fight yesterday? He looked at her with a face full of anger, but now he seemed so calm and even wanted to accompany her to her mother's house for dinner.
Could they be plotting something?
Moreover, Qiao Weiwei and her grandmother did not go to the Zhan family mansion yesterday, and he didn't know how he arranged for them, but he wasn't interested in knowing.
"If you go back alone, how will you explain it to your parents?"
What Zhan Yanxun said was correct. Given her mother's personality, if she hadn't brought Zhan Yanxun back, there would probably have been another storm.
"Let's go."
Although Zhan Yanxun remained expressionless, his tone was gentle.
Jiang Qianhui was suspicious. Why was Zhan Yanxun so peaceful today?
What's wrong?
Which of Zhan's projects made a fortune? That won't do; she'll have to put in some effort.
Zhan Yanxun drove his Maybach with Jiang Qianhui in the car, heading towards the Jiang family's home. He stopped along the way and bought a large bouquet of flowers at a flower shop.
What do you need flowers for?
"Or go empty-handed?"
It turned out to be a gift for her mother.
Jiang Qianhui did not expect Zhan Yanxun to buy flowers for her mother.
If she didn't know her mother so well, she would have suspected that her mother might be allergic to pollen. Was Zhan Yanxun trying to harm her mother?
Zhan Yanxun placed the flowers on the back seat and then continued driving.
The lilies were beautiful, and their fragrance wafted from the back seat, making people feel comfortable and easing the awkwardness between the two of them.
Jiang Qianhui glanced at Zhan Yanxun, who was driving. His gaze was clear, devoid of joy or anger. Sometimes she still felt unaccustomed to being with him like this. After all, in her mind, all she could see was the look of hatred and disgust he had shown her in her previous life.
In her past life, she wished they could be like other loving couples, with her sitting in the passenger seat and him driving her home.
But why would he be willing to stay with her?
Jiang Qianhui turned her gaze to the outside of the car, but Zhan Yanxun secretly glanced at her, his eyes filled with complex emotions, as if he was suppressing something.
……
Jiang family
Jiang Qianhui entered the house first, and happily called out, "Mom and Dad, I'm home!"
Jiang Qianhui shouted, "I'm back," not "we."
"Jiang Qianhui, what are you doing back here by yourself?"
Yang Huirong thought that Zhan Yanxun hadn't come, and that she was about to point her forty-meter-long sword at Jiang Qianhui.
At the crucial moment, seeing Zhan Yanxun made him turn from anger to joy.
"Yan Xun, you've arrived."
Jiang Qianhui froze. She had just clearly seen her mother baring her teeth and claws as she approached her, as if she was about to chop her up.
But why is she smiling so brightly now?
Was she seeing things? Or was she not her biological daughter?
Seeing the flowers in Zhan Yanxun's hand, Yang Huirong asked happily, "Are they for me?"
Zhan Yanxun nodded and smiled, then handed it to Yang Huirong.
Yang Huirong said happily, "It's good that you're here. You don't need to buy me flowers."
At this moment, Jiang Zhengguo came out and said, "Look at how you're laughing, and you're still saying these polite words."
"My son-in-law is so good to me. He bought me flowers. Look how long it's been since you bought me flowers."
"Buy, buy, buy! Buy as much as you want, as long as you're happy."
Yang Huirong and Jiang Zhengguo were both very happy because seeing Jiang Qianhui and Zhan Yanxun together, and Zhan Yanxun even bringing flowers, proved that their relationship was fine, which made them very happy.
"Yanxun, sit down and eat. It's been a long time since we ate together."
Yang Huirong warmly invited Zhan Yanxun to eat, while Jiang Qianhui watched from the side, feeling truly uneasy.
Why is her mother so enthusiastic towards Zhan Yanxun? She's the real daughter.
Jiang Zhengguo said with a smile, "Your mother specially prepared this meal. It's been a long time since our family has eaten together."
"This is how a home should be. When people who shouldn't be there are gone, it feels especially relaxing."
Yang Huirong was referring to Jiang Che. Jiang Qianhui felt very sad upon hearing this. After her brother left the Jiang family, she bought a house, hoping to make him more comfortable, but he refused. He also refused to take any money from the family, let alone accept her money.
Jiang Qianhui didn't want her brother to suffer, but she knew he wouldn't accept her money or her house. The thought of her brother suffering outside and seeing her mother's disdain for him made Jiang Qianhui feel a tightness in her chest.
"Hui Rong, don't be like this. Jiang Che is gone. He's gone, so don't say such hurtful things."
Jiang Zhengguo couldn't stand it anymore and said something about Yang. Hui Rong angrily said, "What? I just said one thing and you feel sorry for that illegitimate child? Why don't you bring him back? Who knows how much you've been supporting him while he's been away? Tell me, where did you buy him a house and how much money did you give him?"
"That's enough. I know you'll be upset. I didn't give him any money or a house. If he can't survive on his own, that's his own fault."
Jiang Zhengguo didn't dislike Jiang Che; he was just frustrated by how Jiang Che had turned out to be such a good-for-nothing. It infuriated him.
Yang Huirong said disdainfully, "Jiang Zhengguo, you'd better remember what you said. If I find out you're secretly helping that illegitimate child, I'll never forgive you."
Although Jiang Qianhui felt sad, she knew that her mother wouldn't change her opinion of her brother overnight, and many things couldn't be rushed.
"Mom, your sweet and sour pork ribs are really delicious."
"Of course, I marinated these beforehand, knowing you'd like them. But you probably just don't like listening to me, so you're only saying these ribs are delicious on purpose."
Jiang Qianhui remained silent, while Yang Huirong continued, "I don't know what's wrong with you. What's so great about that illegitimate child that you actually call him 'brother'?"
Jiang Zhengguo said with a livid face, "Yan Xun, did you come all this way just to listen to your nagging?"
Yang Huirong then said awkwardly, "Yanxun, please forgive my rudeness. It was just something I suddenly felt compelled to say."
Although Jiang Zhengguo felt uncomfortable, he didn't want to dwell on it.
He said, "Sui Sui, your mother's 49th birthday is in two days, and I plan to throw her a grand birthday banquet."
Upon hearing that her father was going to throw a birthday dinner for her mother, Jiang Qianhui's pupils contracted and her eyelashes trembled.
She recalled her past life at her mother's birthday banquet. Her mother-in-law was supposed to be the star, but she stole the show. Not only did she wear the same dress as her mother, but she also wore a massive gemstone necklace that attracted everyone's attention.
Because of her, her mother chose to back down. After the incident where they wore the same outfit, she changed her clothes and could only replace the jewelry she was wearing with smaller pieces.
She knew perfectly well that her mother had been wronged. But at the time, all she thought about was not to upset her mother-in-law and to please her, which caused her mother to suffer. Now, thinking about it, she really wants to slap herself.
