Mu Jiu Chen glanced at her indifferently. How did this good fire suddenly burn onto him?
Mu Jiu Chen looked at his brother-in-law, who was full of curiosity. A trace of unnaturalness appeared on his handsome face, and he replied sincerely, "I pursued her with sincerity."
"I also have sincerity, but Hanhan said she doesn't want to come back with me. She said the family situation is very complicated."
Jiang Nuan couldn't help but recall the time she first met Yu Han. Yu Han was covered in acne and had issues with her half-sister.
Jiang Nuan recounted Yu Han's situation to her family, as her elder brother was going to marry Yu Han.
They needed to understand Yu Han's matters clearly.
The Yu family was a moderate affluent family in Tianjin, nowhere near true high society.
Yet, they aimed to marry into the Nan family.
Nan Zhou was their target.
Yu Han was beautiful and was schemed against by her own sister. Jiang Nuan told all these to her elder brother's family.
Jin Yan listened and was furious, "There are all sorts of people in this world. Fortunately, my Nuan Nuan is fine. This fair complexion is enviable."
Jiang Nuan smiled and said nothing.
The hardships of her childhood had made her introverted, but she had improved a lot now.
Perhaps having someone she loved in her heart had made her entire being much warmer.
As she grew, she would only get better.
Jiang Nuan looked at Mu Jiu Chen beside her, her beautiful phoenix eyes brimming with love.
Their eyes met, and Mu Jiu Chen's heart began to pound. The vibrant beat of his heart made it almost impossible for him to restrain the urge to kiss his loving wife at that moment.
Jin Yan looked at her son and said, "A Cheng, with Nuan Nuan vetting for you this time, there's no mistake. Hanhan is so pitiful; her father and stepmother don't love her. You must cherish the young lady. A woman's life, if she doesn't receive love from her parents, she must marry a very good husband, otherwise, she is truly too pitiful."
Lu Jin Cheng also felt heartache. So, Hanhan's family was like this. He would definitely seek justice for Hanhan.
Let her father regret it.
He smiled at his mother and said, "Mom, as long as you don't object like other wives of wealthy families."
Jin Yan was angered by this and looked at her son with great displeasure.
"Young man, is it still not too late for me to object now?" she narrowed her eyes at her son. If this boy didn't get married this year, he would be looked down upon next year.
Let alone other women, she herself found him objectionable.
Lu Jin Cheng: "..."
He quickly shook his head, "Mom, it's probably too late. Perhaps Hanhan already has your grandchild in her womb."
Everyone: "..."
Lu Jin Cheng accidentally let it slip and immediately stood up, blushing as he went upstairs.
Jiang Nuan: "..."
It seemed things were progressing quickly. Her parents didn't need to worry at all.
At four in the afternoon, Jin Yan received a call from Mrs. Ye, who said that if she didn't attend, it would be considered looking down on her.
Jin Yan really wanted to say, "Yes, I look down on your pretentious behavior."
However, most people in their circle were hypocritical. She didn't want to fall out with them. Mrs. Ye kept inviting her, making her wonder what she was up to.
Since she was being so persistently invited, she had no reason to refuse.
After hanging up the phone, Jin Yan ordered the entire family to prepare for the banquet.
Lu Jin Cheng ran off directly.
Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiu Chen, along with Lu Si Cheng, had nowhere to run and could only change their clothes and accompany Jin Yan to the banquet.
Mu Jiu Chen discovered that his father-in-law was henpecked!
Not truly henpecked, however!
But because of love!
He was tolerant and compromised on many things.
Just like the saying, if his wife is happy, then he is happy.
It was night!
In the luxurious banquet hall, wine glasses clinked, and guests mingled in their finery. In a bustling city, such scenes were never lacking.
Ye Anran searched the venue for a while but couldn't find Jiang Nuan, which made her wonder if Jiang Nuan had not come.
She had planned a good show for Jiang Nuan tonight.
Mrs. Ye looked at her daughter's expression and said angrily, "The Lu family is the foremost prominent family in Modu. They always arrive at banquets only when they begin, Ranran, let's wait a little longer."
Ye Anran smiled and nodded, "Okay, Mom, I'm not in a hurry. I just feel that Jiang Nuan and I get along well. If she doesn't come, it feels very boring."
Mrs. Ye's gaze flickered. Seeing that there weren't many people around, she said, "Ranran, you should befriend Jiang Nuan properly. Although Madam Lu and I don't get along, she has three very outstanding sons. No matter which one you marry, all the wealth of the Lu family will still be yours, and will be easily obtained."
Mrs. Ye had thought about it last night. Her daughter would be happy if she married a man from the Lu family.
She had met all three of Lu Si Cheng's sons; they were all handsome and distinguished.
And each was outstanding.
How could Ye Anran not know how outstanding those three men were? Not only were they outstanding, but Lu Si Cheng's biological father, the Jiang family, was also a hidden wealthy family. They wouldn't have to do anything their entire lives, just spend money, and the money would still not be spent by the time they died.
Ye Anran smiled serenely, "Mom, I must have such good fortune for that to happen." A rare hint of shyness appeared on her face.
Mrs. Ye looked at her daughter's exceptional appearance and smiled, "My daughter is so outstanding, of course, she has such good fortune. It all depends on whether her sons come later!"
Ye Anran narrowed her eyes slightly. She knew they wouldn't come.
The three sons of the Lu family, unless it was their own family banquet and they couldn't get away, they would only be deserters.
"Oh! Ranran, they've arrived, but unfortunately, none of her sons are here."
Mrs. Ye's words brought Ye Anran back to her thoughts.
She looked towards the entrance and saw Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiu Chen, along with Lu Si Cheng and his wife, walking in.
She smiled and walked over. Midway, she met her good friend Tang Jiajia.
"Anran, Miss Lu has arrived. She had a bad reputation when she was living abroad. Do you really want to be friends with her?" Tang Jiajia was a good friend of Ye Anran. Seeing Ye Anran always praising the Lu family's found daughter, Lu something Nuan, before them, made her unhappy.
Ye Anran smiled and said, "Jiajia, you can't think like that. Even if she lived outside when she was a child, it doesn't change her identity as the eldest daughter of the Lu family. Moreover, she is now Mu Jiu Chen's wife."
"Bah! As soon as she returned, she sent Yiyi to prison. This Jiang Nuan, to become Ninth Master's wife, her methods are very clever. You need to be careful. I wouldn't dare be friends with her!"
After saying that, Tang Jiajia moved aside.
After walking a few steps, she turned back and shouted at Ye Anran, "She's just a country bumpkin."
Ye Anran smiled silently. Indeed, she was a country bumpkin, but her status was undeniable.
Even if she was an absolute country bumpkin, she was the noble Mrs. Mu and the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
A legend among country bumpkins.
"Nuan Nuan, you've arrived." Ye Anran walked over with a smile, greeted the Lu family couple, and then stood beside Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan nodded slightly at her. As she entered, her keen senses detected that the gazes of the people around her were somewhat unusual.
