Jiang Beihuai spoke politely and behaved gracefully.
Uncle and Aunt Su didn't think too much about it. Instead, they thought this nephew - in - law was upright, kind, and courteous. He was truly a young talent in charge of a large - scale group.
Yu Chenhe refused him with a pale face, his trembling fists tightly clenched. He had already missed his schoolmate, and realizing that he was no match for her husband, he was even less willing to be a self - deluded clown.
Jiang Beihuai forcibly pried open his hand and stuffed his business card into his palm, saying affectionately, "I hope we'll meet again by chance. Wenxi and I will treat you to dinner."
After getting the evidence, they didn't want to stay any longer. As soon as they got in the car, Su Zhengfeng received a call from Jiang Jiaqi, urging him to let the two kids meet.
Jiang Beihuai frowned as he listened to his uncle's boastful show - off and his veiled criticism of Su Yuning from time to time. He was so angry that he was fuming.
He never expected that his uncle was so irresponsible at work but quite good at swaggering around under the Jiang family's influence.
He hung up the phone in front of his wife. Then Su Zhengfeng turned to mock her, "Do you still want to marry our daughter into their family?"
Aunt still tried to struggle, "But I heard from other ladies that Jiang Beili, their eldest son, is quite good. He's a very promising young man. And it was the old lady who asked me to arrange a blind date for the two kids. She wouldn't harm me, would she?"
Bai Wenxi was speechless at her aunt's naivety. The old lady just couldn't turn down Jiang Jiaqi's request. After all, it wasn't her own child, so she couldn't say anything too harsh.
Bai Wenxi didn't want to see her sister get into trouble. She mercilessly shattered her aunt's hope, "Beihuai and I will go see grandma later. We'll explain it to her. There are millions of girls in the world. Why do we have to introduce Yuning to Jiang Beili?"
Aunt still felt a bit embarrassed, but her husband and niece were on the same side, and her daughter was also encouraging her to resist the blind date.
As the minority, she had no choice but to give up, "Then you go and talk to the old lady about this. I don't have the guts."
Bai Wenxi patted her chest confidently, "Don't worry. I'm sure we can decline this blind date without offending the Jiang family."
Just in case, Su Zhengfeng drove alone to the hospital where Su Xingfei died to look for the attending doctor of that year.
He was tired of being surrounded by lies and schemes. He vowed to find out the truth and seek justice for his sister.
Jiang Beihuai was about to drive from the Su family back to the Jiang family's old mansion. Su Yuning insisted on going with them. Bai Wenxi tried to persuade her, but to no avail.
Jiang Beihuai was both amused and annoyed, "Why do you have to go? We'll be your spokespersons. Isn't that enough?"
Su Yuning was always bold and fearless. She didn't think it was a big deal to go against an elder of a big family.
She stood with her hands on her hips and was determined to watch this show, "I've always heard mom say how nice the old lady is. Except for catching a glimpse of your grandma from afar on my sister's wedding day, I've never had any contact with her."
"I'm going to see why she has to pick me and push me into the fire pit."
Jiang Beihuai was already dizzy. He ran his fingers through his hair feebly, "If you go with that kind of attitude, I'm afraid to take you. It's okay for you to go, but we have to set some rules."
As soon as Su Yuning heard there was a chance to go to the Jiang family, she nodded like a pecking chicken, "Sure, brother - in - law. You say, and I'll listen."
Jiang Beihuai only said three words: "Talk less."
Bai Wenxi burst out laughing. Su Yuning felt embarrassed. She waved her hands threateningly, "Oh, so that's the image I have in your mind? I'm not that rude girl. I was just joking."
She thought her words were not very convincing, so she quickly added, "After all, Mrs. Jiang is so old. Respecting the elderly is our traditional virtue. I definitely won't have a direct conflict with her."
Su Yuning couldn't sit still in the car. She leaned forward and squeezed between the two seats, insisting on talking between them.
"To be honest, although I don't want to go on a blind date with that 'Litchi' guy, I am quite curious to see what he looks like."
When it came to the topic of handsome guys, she got excited, "I've inquired. Many of my little sisters said that this guy is really good - looking. Even if we're not fated, it won't stop me from appreciating a handsome man."
Bai Wenxi pressed her head and pushed her back to the back seat, warning seriously, "Fasten your seat - belt. Otherwise, I won't speak up for you."
Su Yuning was quiet for a while, then started chattering again in the back. This was the first time Jiang Beihuai had seen a girl so lively and active. He was really annoyed by her noise.
"What are you doing back there? Tossing and turning and making all that noise."
Su Yuning was lying comfortably in the back seat with the seat fully reclined, "Brother - in - law, the back of your car is so spacious. Can I borrow it?"
She was not at all shy, "I want to take my friends on a self - driving tour. I can even sleep in it at night."
Jiang Beihuai couldn't keep up with her jumping thoughts. He didn't know how she suddenly brought up the topic of traveling.
He could only helplessly plead again, "Once again, talk less!"
"Otherwise, you might really turn a good thing into a bad one. My grandma doesn't like jumpy girls."
Su Yuning didn't care. She popped a mint into her mouth, "That's just perfect. Let her hate me so much that she won't have any thoughts about me."
But then she thought it wasn't right, "What if she also has a bad impression of my sister? Then I'll be hurting Wenjie. Forget it. I'll listen to you guys."
Seeing that her sister still thought about her, Bai Wenxi felt a surge of sweetness in her heart. She thought all these years of taking care of her were not in vain.
She saw that her sister wasn't frowning because of this. She was still that carefree and optimistic girl. Bai Wenxi felt much more relaxed.
She was afraid that her sister would end up like Bai Yunxi, becoming a resentful couple after marriage. Although she didn't have a good impression of Bai Yunxi, after all, she was a real person she had gotten along with for so many years.
It was really heart - wrenching to see her beaten up by Zhang Fuwen like that.
The Jiang family's old mansion was still as orderly and peaceful as ever. Mrs. Zhang knew that her grandson and granddaughter - in - law were coming today, so she had someone buy a lot of expensive ingredients to welcome them.
The aunts and the little uncle complained a lot, but they didn't dare to say anything in front of their mother. They could only mutter behind her back.
They were just saying that she was old and muddle - headed, always favoring the illegitimate child and so on.
As soon as Jiang Beihuai stepped into the Jiang family, the bribed servant reported everything to him.
Hearing these people slandering him like this, Jiang Beihuai wasn't angry at all. Gossiping behind his back meant they were just making useless efforts with their words. They didn't have the strength to fight against him, which made him not care at all.
A barking dog doesn't bite. He had always been keeping a close eye on the situation of these relatives in the Jiang family. It wasn't because he was afraid of them, but because he didn't want them to cause trouble for his new company.
Coincidentally, Jiang Beili was also at home today. He had never met Su Yuning, but he knew that his father was urgently trying to set him up with the daughter of the great lawyer Su Zhengfeng recently.
Jiang Beili was a typical scion of a noble family. He liked high - end musical instruments and racing, but he wasn't very interested in women.
He dated a few girlfriends. He would be with them if he had a good impression, and break up with them immediately when he got tired. Moreover, he gave each girlfriend a generous break - up fee. So among the girls in the town, his reputation wasn't that bad.
Bai Wenxi led her sister around the back yard to see Mrs. Jiang. Jiang Beili was upstairs playing the piano. Su Yuning stopped to listen for a while and sincerely clapped and praised.
"I didn't expect there was such a talented person in brother - in - law's family. This person plays the piano so well. He could totally win an international award."
