Chapter 110: Chapter 110 This Play is Really Good to Watch Chapter 110: Chapter 110 This Play is Really Good to Watch Mrs. Jiang’s face turned green.
Endless, isn’t it?
Can’t she mention her man without acting like he’ll die or something?
She can’t help mentioning Mr. Jiang every few sentences, her proud tone making it seem like he was her man.
[Laughing my head off, anxious to brag even before she’s married in, my mom isn’t dead yet, at least wait if you want to steal him away. Calling him “brother-in-law” non-stop, soon she’ll start calling him “husband.” This drama is so entertaining, luckily my mom doesn’t know, or it would give her cancer.]
Mrs. Jiang: “…”
Thanks, I’m aware and very angry.
Mrs. Jiang almost spit blood from Jiang Nanshu’s inner thoughts.
This Chu Xin!
This sickeningly sweet “brother-in-law,” it makes her want to vomit.
So her expression cooled quite a bit, “I’m not rushing to marry Yiyi off, she’s still young, she can stay a few more years.”
Chu Xin shook her head in disagreement, sentimental, “A girl should take advantage of her youth and beauty to find a good man to cling to, then she won’t have to worry about food and clothes at her in-laws’, sigh, unlike me, living such a tough life, married to a useless husband, what can a woman do? I really envy sister for having a brother-in-law, living carefree.”
Mrs. Jiang: “…”
As if she couldn’t live carefree without Mr. Jiang.
She has sons and daughters, her latter years would be worry-free without accidents, why wouldn’t she live carefree?
So she coolly retorted, “I say a woman should rely on herself, who can you depend on if a man runs off? That company of yours, you just didn’t want to manage it yourself and handed it over to your husband, who was never cut out for business, who can you blame?”
Chu Xin’s smile stiffened, it wasn’t the first time Mrs. Jiang had treated her with such a cold attitude, making her wonder if she had slipped up somewhere to cause this.
Then she thought it was impossible, her thoughts were her secret alone, Mrs. Jiang had always treated her like a little sister, totally trusting her.
So she forced a smile, “Sister, that’s your view, blame my dullness, I couldn’t learn my dad’s business ways, afraid of ambitious people snatching our family assets, I chose a known and honest man to marry into my family, sigh, not that he’s bad, just too stubborn, capable of losing any amount of money, still I envy your Yisen, sharp-minded, a born businessman. My daughter has been frail, but she’s been recuperating over the years, it’s time to look for a marriage alliance for her.”
Her gaze shifted subtly to Jiang Nanshu.
Jiang Nanshu acted as if he didn’t see, silently turning his head.
[So she has set her sights on the Lu Family, that’s why she’s not looking at me properly, give her the chance to snatch this marriage, I promise not to intervene.]
Jiang Nanshu’s mind was abuzz with calculations.
What gets snatched by others can’t be blamed on her breaking her word.
The one billion from Old Sir Lu, she definitely won’t return.
Hearing Jiang Nanshu’s thoughts, Mrs. Jiang looked at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “So, do you have any suitable candidates in mind? Let me help you look?”
The Lu Family, she thinks she can reach that level with Chu Family?
Not to say that the Lu Family has only one legitimate heir, Lu Qingyan, even if there’s an illegitimate child, the head of the family position won’t change, at most they’d throw some money to pacify, maybe set up a small lousy company for the illegitimate son to practice running, whether it turns out to be a blessing or a curse depends on his own management.
Chu Xin dared not admit in front of Mrs. Jiang that she fancied the Lu Family Crown Prince for her daughter, not to mention whether it’s a suitable match, as long as Lu Jiang hasn’t called off their engagement, her daughter wouldn’t stand a chance.
Thinking also made her feel bitter, Chu Muxi was born with an illness, raising her to this age had cost them a lot of effort.
So she indirectly mentioned, “I’m not asking for Muxi to marry into great wealth, just that she has a good life and someone to care for her, Shuling, isn’t your second son still single? What do you think…”
[Wow! Are you after the old man or do you want my second brother as your son-in-law? Too fickle, all mixed up.]
Mrs. Jiang: “…”
Jiang Leyi: “…”
Outrageous.
If she became Jiang Jingcheng’s mother-in-law, thinking about Mr. Jiang would be somewhat improbable.
Mrs. Jiang held back her anger, there was no way she’d let Jiang Jingcheng marry Chu Xin’s daughter.
No, her five sons cannot marry Chu Muxi!
Even if she had known Chu Xin’s intentions before, she wouldn’t have agreed.
This disease might be hereditary to the next generation, wouldn’t that be creating a sin?
Her entire face turned completely cold, “I never interfere in my children’s personal matters. Look at Jiang Yisen, he’s twenty-eight and still shapeless, and the second child is even more willful, not letting us meddle in his romantic affairs. I can’t help you with this.”
Chu Xin almost burst out cursing.
What sort of man is Jiang Yisen, nothing but a playboy. What respectable family would push their daughter into a fire pit?
Even if… marrying Jiang Yisen was the best option to save the Chu Family.
But Chu Xin still fancied the mature and stable Jiang Jingcheng.
Finding Mrs. Jiang unapproachable, she forced a flattering smile, “I was just joking. My Xixi has her own ideas too, let’s leave it to the children’s fate.”
[Alas, fate… Who would believe that, with such a large family like the Jiangs’? Besides my Golden Sister, who married several times, the others either died unmarried or were buried.]
Mrs. Jiang looked melancholic.
Why, in Jiang Nanshu’s inner voice,
was the fate of the Jiang Family so horrifying?
They hadn’t committed any atrocious sins; why were some dead, some crippled, some insane?
And Jiang Leyi, whom she had doted on since childhood, also faced inhuman encounters one after another.
Mrs. Jiang suddenly thought of Jiang Nanshu.
She knew all their fates, but what about her own?
Did she end up well?
But then again…
Having lost the protection of the Jiang Family, with her defiant nature, she probably wouldn’t end up well either.
Chu Xin no longer spoke to Mrs. Jiang, having been silently mocked, she couldn’t swallow her pride.
About half an hour later.
Chu Muxi finally came in.
Her gaze turned to Jiang Leyi, “Yiyi, let’s go have a meal together later? My friend has also arrived.”
Jiang Leyi, surprised, pointed at herself, “Your friend, do I know him?”
Chu Muxi slightly pursed her lips and smiled, “Not very well, I just heard that he knows you.”
[Wow, so this ‘friend’ came for you. I knew she wasn’t up to any good.]
Jiang Leyi stood up and walked out, draped in a dry bath towel, “Who is it? I’ll go see.”
Jiang Nanshu also wrapped in a bath towel, followed closely behind.
[Aha, the drama continues.]
Outside.
Jiang Leyi’s face darkened upon seeing the “acquaintance”.
Jiang Nanshu laughed madly inside, [And here I was wondering who it could be. Turns out it’s your ex-husband Xie Zimiao summoned here, after you blocked him, Chu Muxi couldn’t meddle, so she had to bring him in front of you to make his presence felt. What toxic honey, such a sinister mindset.]
Xie Zimiao’s face was both conflicted and hurt.
Clearly not understanding why Jiang Leyi had suddenly changed.
He’s the type that even a hundred-year-old famous soup dumpling can’t appease, alas, what a struggle.
At this moment, Jiang Leyi truly gave up on Chu Muxi, her genuine heart cooling inch by inch. She believed she had done nothing to wrong Chu Muxi, and couldn’t understand why she had set this trap, calculating against her.
Chu Muxi, completely unaware, her delicate face filled with conflict, “Yiyi, I thought he had urgent business with you, so I took the liberty of bringing him here. You aren’t angry, are you? If there’s a misunderstanding between you two, try to clear it up. We’re all friends here, and I did it for your sake.”
