Chapter 227 Let’s Act
The marriage between the Song and Jiang families was arranged when the first grandchild of each family was born, but until the third child was born, there was no girl.
The two old men did not give up and both hoped that their fourth grandchild would be a girl.
After waiting for two years, the fourth child of the Song family was born, but there was no movement from the Jiang family. Three years later, the Jiang family finally gave birth to a girl, Xie Jiang.
Zhao Youde's family not only cared about everything in the Jiang family, but also cared about this marriage contract, so they replaced Xie Jiang when she was born.
Jiang Xue Nian has been pampered since she was a child. When she knew that the two families had an engagement, she chose Song Mingheng. After discovering that she was not a member of the Jiang family, she decisively went abroad for plastic surgery.
As Jiang Xuenian's identity was exposed and Zhao Youde's family was imprisoned, the marriage between the two families was temporarily put on hold.
The Song family brought up the marriage proposal again, maybe it has something to do with Song Mingheng?
According to the old man of the Jiang family, and respecting the proposal of the Song family, the two families sat together to discuss whether to continue or cancel the engagement.
After listening to Jiang Yue's explanation of the origin of the engagement, and then hearing Gu Ruyi and Fan Yingxu's revelations that several members of the Song family either rented girlfriends or asked colleagues to guest star, Xie Jiang glanced subtly at the quiet Zhou Yunyu.
Three of the four young masters of the Song family had clear attitudes, only Song Mingheng was ambiguous.
She pursed her lips, remembering that Song Mingheng seemed to have a crush on her. Her eyes fell on her eldest and second brothers sitting across from her on the sofa, and she asked suspiciously, "If I don't recognize the old man, can I avoid the engagement?"
"I guess not." Jiang Shuo pinched his brows, feeling a headache. "The whole world knows you are the daughter of the Jiang family. Whether they recognize you or not, your identity will not change."
It was no secret that the two families had an engagement.
The circle of wealthy families in Ningcheng is so small, and since the engagement has not yet been decided on a candidate, there is no need to worry about one party dumping the other if the engagement is cancelled.
"Then I'll meet the Song family when I return from Beijing. The engagement has to be cancelled. I won't marry into the Song family." Xie Jiang said indifferently, "The three brothers of the Song family obviously don't want to be bound by the engagement, and neither do I."
Zhou Yunyu was obviously relieved, a fleeting light flashed across his eyes, and a subtle smile appeared in his dark starry eyes.
As long as his sister doesn't want to, it's useless for Song Mingheng to force her.
"We all support you." Jiang Shuo's frown relaxed, and his usually stern face showed a faint smile. "Let's go eat. As long as you don't want to continue the engagement, there's nothing Grandpa can do."
Grandpa was both afraid of and loved her.
I'm afraid that she will speak her mind without restraint, so I'll dig up the dark history of anyone I catch, but I'm also proud of her.
For a female star to be able to enter the police station, she must have real abilities to participate in the investigation of major cases. She is worthy of being a descendant of their Jiang family.
He couldn't understand.
What does my sister's excellence have to do with the Jiang family? Everything is achieved through her own efforts.
"He doesn't dare to do anything." Jiang Jian smiled, his whole body emitting an aura of happiness. He secretly held Meng Caiwei's hand tightly. "He has already lost face once. As long as he doesn't want to lose face again before entering the coffin, I won't interfere."
Previously, the blind dates arranged for them by the old man were basically the daughters of well-known families in the circle. After his sister returned to the Jiang family and sent Zhao Youde's family away, he didn't dare to make any more trouble.
After he and Meng Caiwei confirmed their relationship, he specially brought people back to meet the old man.
The old man who always acted like a patriarch in front of them suddenly became so nice that he seemed like a different person, which gave him goosebumps.
"Not only your old man, ours is afraid too." Gu Ruyi touched his nose and said guiltily, "After you sent Liu Manman in, our old man wanted to see you. Before we even arranged a time, you sent Zhao Youde and his family in."
Grandpa stopped thinking immediately.
"Pfft..." Xie Jiang imagined the expression of the old man from the Gu family and laughed foolishly to himself, "It's good that you're scared. I'm not good at getting along with elders."
I went to Beijing and almost sent my dear second grandfather away.
"puff……"
Gu Ruyi and the others all laughed knowingly.
The old man was not afraid that she would send someone to jail, but was afraid that she would expose all the ugly things in the family and embarrass herself.
After everyone had laughed enough, Gu Ruyi glanced at the message she had just received on her phone and frowned in annoyance.
"Is Qi Jiashi asking you to meet up again?" Fan Yingxu rolled her eyes in disdain. "If you don't want to be pestered by him, just agree to it. We'll choose the place."
Gu Ruyi thought about it and nodded hesitantly.
"I want to go too." Xie Jiang's attention shifted instantly. "Choose a bar. I haven't been to one yet."
Everyone: What a fresh and unconventional reason.
-
On the other side, at the old Song family house, the four Song brothers gathered in the tea pavilion in the garden, brewing tea and chatting.
The main topic of conversation was also engagement.
Song Mingheng knew that his elder brother had someone in his heart, and he had already successfully proposed and secretly obtained the marriage certificate. He would take advantage of this meeting with the Jiang family to bring her back.
The second brother rented an actress as his girlfriend, intending to get as familiar with each other as possible before the two families met.
The third brother was seriously injured and had not yet recovered, so he asked a colleague to play a guest role.
As for whether they could hide from grandpa's eyes, they didn't care at all. Their only goal was to cancel the engagement between the two families.
Song Mingheng held the teacup and couldn't help laughing when he thought about how his brothers had no privacy in Xie Jiang's eyes.
Go ahead and act.
I can fool Grandpa, but I can’t fool Xie Jiang.
He didn't know what she thought about the engagement. He didn't mind fulfilling the engagement between the two families, but he was afraid that she would refuse.
"Fourth brother." The eldest brother of the Song family frowned unhappily, "What are you thinking about? You look so stupid smiling."
Before Jiang Xue Nian's identity was revealed, the four brothers were very resistant to the marriage and no one was willing to marry her.
In order not to make their grandfather angry, they neither married nor looked for a wife, but just waited.
Some time ago, the news that Jiang Xue Nian was a fake daughter caused a lot of controversy, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, I don’t have to marry Jiang Xue Nian. I’m so happy.
Among all the daughters of wealthy families in Ningcheng, Jiang Xuenian is the most mischievous one. She cries at the slightest provocation and is hard to coax.
They have seen her grow up, and they would despise her even if they wanted to marry her or even treat her as their sister.
"I was wondering why Grandpa and Grandpa Jiang insisted on this engagement." Song Mingheng pulled his thoughts back and said casually, "I remember when the Jiang family's daughter was still Jiang Xuenian, Grandpa planned several times to ask Grandpa Jiang to cancel the engagement."
"Marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations." The eldest son of the Song family snorted disdainfully, "Grandpa is always right in judging people. Even Grandpa Jiang didn't insist on this marriage. Now that it's Xie Jiang, the two old men are getting excited again."
The second son of the Song family nodded in agreement. "Jiang Xue Nian is a troublemaker. Even though we don't live together, she always has to come back to the old house for holidays. Who knows what kind of trouble will come out if I marry her."
Just look at the children of their third uncle's family and you will know.
My cousin married a girl with a personality similar to Jiang Xue Nian. Every time we have a family dinner, she makes the meal more comfortable when no one else is around.
"Xie Jiang... He really has a good personality and is very capable." The third son of the Song family was still a little weak, leaning back in his chair and muttering, "No wonder Grandpa wanted to fight for it."
Strictly speaking, his life was saved by Xie Jiang.
But he couldn't marry Xie Jiang.
It's not that he dislikes her identity as Wen Jinxing's ex-wife, but he will continue to be an undercover agent after he recovers, and he will not marry anyone else in the short term if he doesn't marry Xie Jiang.
The eldest brother is already taken, and the second brother seems to have a partner as well, so the only candidates for marriage are him and the fourth brother.
"She won't choose me." Song Mingheng pulled the corner of his mouth, a bitter smile appeared on his face, "One wrong move and the whole game is lost."
He was used to the entertainment industry's way of solving problems and never thought that one day he would fall in love with Xie Jiang.
"I don't blame you. You didn't know she was the daughter of the Jiang family at the time." The eldest son of the Song family patted his shoulder and couldn't help but lecture him, "If you encounter something like this again, don't hesitate to resolve it. It would be bad if you meet someone who makes your heart beat faster again."
Song Mingheng: The eldest brother is indeed my relative, and he knows best how to kill people and destroy their hearts.
He looked at his three brothers who had already prepared everything, picked up his cell phone and sent a message to Xie Jiang.
It would be quicker to find out whether or not to continue the engagement by finding the person involved.
