Old madam Jiang looked solemnly at Jiang Yuan Bai.
She had lived for so long, seen so many things, heard many times of a couple caught in affairs under the public eyes, and itâs not as if she had never seen them personally. For instance, the previous top scorer, Shen Yurongâs wife, Xue Fang Fei. At that time, when she was caught engaging in an illicit affair at mother Shenâs birthday feast, old madam Jiang was also on the scene.
She despised people who didnât have self-respect, loathed children who destroyed their familyâs reputation, yet she never expected that one day, this kind of thing would occur in their Jiang family.
âIndeed the morality and conduct of a bastard!â Old madam Jiang spoke coldly: âThe daughter taught is also the same!â The one who got into an accident was the third branch, who wasnât her own son. Old madam Jiang also didnât know whether she should rejoice or be angry.
Itâs very rare for Jiang Yuan Bai to see his mother this angry. He also stayed silent and didnât say a word.
âWhat is your plan?â Old madam Jiang asked.
âSon plans to immediately dismiss You Yao and Zhou Yan Bangâs marriage.â Jiang Yuan Bai said grimly: âThis thing happened, You Yao cannot marry into the Zhou family. No matter how Yuâe and Zhou Yan Bang are, You Yao is the daughter of my wife. Marrying into the Zhou family, she will be reduced to a laughingstock in the entire Yanjing.â Jiang Yuan Bai sighed: âMoreover, Zhou Yan Bang, this child, his intentions are not right. He was obviously betrothed to my child, but had an unclear relationship with other members of the Jiang family, his character is dubious. I donât believe these people will treat You Yao well in the future.â
âI think so too.â Perhaps upon seeing that Jiang Yuan Bai and she had the same thought, old madam Jiangâs complexion eased up. She said: âThis time, the Zhou family will not have any face to mention the marriage with You Yao anymore. Anyway, You Yao is still young, these coming days, pay closer attention to any suitable families. No matter how our Jiang familyâs daughter is, finding a better husband than the Zhou familyâs boy is also an effortless matter!â
Jiang Yuan Bai nodded in agreement.
The mother and son had just talked to this point when the sound of a girl crying came through from outside. Jiang Yuan Bai turned his head to see it was actually Jiang You Yao charging in, despite Ji Shuranâs prohibition.
Once Jiang You Yao entered, she immediately pulled Jiang Yuan Baiâs sleeve. While crying she said: âFather, I cannot cancel the marriage with heir Zhou!â
Receiving the news, Ji Shuran rushed over without delay and pulled her up. Old madam Jiangâs brows wrinkled: âJi-shi, how did you raise You Yao, how could you let her in?â
Ji Shuran had no other way and could only say: âMother, master, You Yao is too broken-hearted. She had fainted a few timesâŠâŠ. You Yao is also too pitiful. Everything was perfectly all right, heir Zhou did this kind of thing, isnât that sticking a needle into our You Yaoâs heart?â
Jiang Yuan Bai lowered his head to look at his young daughter. Jiang You Yao was evidently genuinely heart-broken. Her usual nature was to cherish her appearance, but now her tears fell like flowers, not caring about her looks. Her lips were even paler than paper. Jiang Yuan Bai also inevitably felt distressed. To him, the person who was most injured in this matter was Jiang You Yao. After all, Jiang You Yao did not do anything wrong, yet suffered her sweetheartâs betrayal.
Jiang Yuan Bai spoke patiently: âYou Yao, donât be willful. Zhou Yan Bang did such a thing, how could he become my Jiang familyâs son-in-law.â He looked at her again and saw Jiang You Yaoâs unwilling appearance. He hardened his heart and continued speaking ruthlessly, âSince Zhou Yan Bang could be together with Jiang Yuâe, he clearly doesnât have you in his heart. If he had you in his mind, even a little bit, he wouldnât do the kind of thing that will humiliate you. As a father, I must not let you marry such a man who has no responsibility and no you in his heart!â
âNoâââbeyond expectation, after Jiang You Yao heard Jiang Yuan Bai, not only was she not convinced, she instead became even more stubborn. She refuted: âHeir Zhou has me in his heart, the reason why he was with Jiang Yuâe was, was becauseâŠâŠ. was because Jiang Yuâe seduced him! Itâs Jiang Yuâe who harmed him. Right, itâs Jiang Yuâe playing tricks. Jiang Yuâe wanted to snatch heir Zhou for a long time and could only use this disgusting trick. Itâs not heir Zhuoâs fault. Father, itâs Jiang Yuâeâs fault. What you should do is not to dismiss the engagement between heir Zhou and I, but to severely punish Jiang Yuâe, that cheap person!â
When these words came out, Ji Shuran secretly screamed ânot goodâ. Jiang Yuan Bai looked at Jiang You Yao in shock.
In Jiang Yuan Baiâs heart, Jiang You Yao was always an innocent and naive little girl. But this person in front of him, whose condition seemed insane, the girl who opened her mouth full of obscenities, was really too unfamiliar.
Ji Shuran smiled and hurriedly said: âYou Yao, sheâs too angry. She heard some rumors before, saying that YuâeâŠâŠ.â She intentionally wanted to pour dirty water on Jiang Yuâe body. Perhaps it could be regarded as not pouring dirty water as the way Ji Shuran looked at it, in the end, Jiang Yuâe might not have necessarily resisted when she was together with Zhou Yan Bang. Or she might have even simply colluded with Jiang Li.
âTroublesome!â Old madam Jiang, who had been watching coldly, reprimanded sternly. She said: âJiang Yuâe took the initiative to seduce Zhou Yan Bang, then what about Shen Ruyun? The secretaryâs younger sister, she wouldnât actively seduce Zhou Yan Bang!â
If Jiang Li was here, she would have certainly been unable to stop her laughter after hearing old madam Jiangâs words. Because just like the absurd theory of old madam Jiang, hadnât the secretaryâs sister had exactly actively seduced Zhou Yan Bang? She even didnât hesitate to sacrifice her own reputation and released words that Zhou Yan Bang had âdisrespectedâ her so as to marry into the Zhou family.
Jiang You Yao froze.
Indeed, Jiang Yuâe could be accused of seducing Zhou Yan Bang, then what about Shen Ruyun? Shen Ruyun and Zhou Yan Bang could previously be said as strangers. Moreover, Shen Ruyun was not Jiang Yuâe, if the Shen family stated that they wanted Zhou Yan Bang to take responsibility, without a doubt, as Princess Yongning said, Zhou Yan Bang must marry Shen Ruyun.
Although she was precious as the chief assistantâs daughter, what can she do? Unless she was also being disrespected by Zhou Yan Bang on that day, perhaps she could still compete with Shen Ruyun and see which one would Zhou Yan Bang choose in the end.
Seeing that Jiang You Yao seemed to be moved, old madam Jiang said again in a cold tone: âFurthermore, no matter how Jiang Yuâe ends up with Zhou Yan Bang, our Jiang family will never allow any cases of siblings serving one husband to happen. Itâs impossible for Zhou Yan Bang to be your husband.â
Jiang You Yaoâs body was limp and directly slumped on the ground. She couldnât say anything and could only weep.
She knew that what old madam Jiang said was true. There nothing could be done for Zhou Yan Bang and her!
