A Long-Awaited Marriage - Chapter 53

Now that she has met him in person, she is even more captivated by Jiang Ye’s handsome appearance. Cai Lihua imagines that if Xiaoxian and Jiang Ye have children in the future, the children will definitely look like their parents: good-looking.

Although there was a slight hiccup at the dinner table, she was able to accept it.

She comforted Chen Xiaoxian, saying that any man who is rich and good-looking will have a temper. Which young man doesn’t have a temper?

“As long as we get married and have children, things will be fine; feelings can be cultivated over time.” Although she was angry, Chen Xiaoxian could only accept Cai Lihua’s explanation.

She wasn’t stupid; she could sense that Jiang Ye’s parents were satisfied with her. They seemed eager for Jiang Ye to get married. As long as the two elders were on her side, everything would be fine.

Jiang also went home and curled up on the sofa alone, without turning on the lights, locking himself in the darkness. He wasn’t concerned about the impending storm, but he couldn’t quite understand Jiang Dahai’s intentions.

“Jiang Ye, get out here!” Jiang Dahai shouted in a rough voice as soon as he stepped one foot through the door.

Jiang also picked at his ears; it was really noisy.

Qiao Xiuzhen followed behind Jiang Dahai and silently turned on the light. Almost at the same time, the two noticed Jiang Ye curled up on the sofa.

Jiang Dahai was furious. He strode towards Jiang Ye and just raised his hand when Jiang Ye suddenly looked up and stared intently at Jiang Dahai.

That cold, resentful gaze made Jiang Dahai feel a moment of fear.

He couldn’t help but shudder. He suddenly realized that his son had grown up and was no longer the little boy he used to beat and scold.

He now had enough power to rebel against his father. Jiang Dahai withdrew his hand, his neck stiff, and said, “Chen Xiaoxian is beautiful and has a good job, why don’t you like her!”

Qiao Xiuzhen sat down next to Jiang Ye and chimed in, “Yeah, Jiang Ye, how could you leave that girl behind and come back by yourself? Where do you put my face and your father’s face?”

Jiang also kept a straight face and remained silent. Silence was the best answer.

Suddenly, Jiang Dahai’s somewhat cloudy eyes darted around, and he said in a hateful voice, “Are you still thinking about that Lu Anran?”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiuzhen looked at Jiang Ye with some nervousness. Although her son rarely confided in her, she knew that he valued that girl.

Jiang’s heart stirred slightly, but he remained indifferent and did not speak. He did not want to waste his breath on this matter.

Jiang Dahai snorted coldly, “Hmph, I knew it, you still can’t forget that little whore.” He uttered vulgar and offensive words without hesitation.

Jiang Ye could no longer hold back. She stood up and shoved Jiang Dahai hard. “You’re supposed to be an elder. How can anyone listen to what you’re saying? Does Chen Xiaoxian’s family know you’re like this?”

Jiang Dahai stumbled and almost fell, and in anger he was about to hit Jiang Ye again, but Qiao Xiuzhen held him tightly. He was mindful of the child in Qiao Xiuzhen’s belly and didn’t dare to make any big moves.

She pointed at Jiang Ye through gritted teeth and said, “Jiang Ye, let me tell you, you have to marry Chen Xiaoxian whether you like it or not! As for Lu Anran, she has no chance of entering the Jiang family!”

Jiang also curled his lips in disdain, thinking he really thought he was the emperor. Perhaps Lu Anran had already forgotten him; his stubbornness was laughable.

“She looks so effeminate, and not only is her family poor, but her father is also a cripple!” Jiang Dahai recalled Lu Anran’s family situation, his disdain evident in his expression.

“How do you know her father is a cripple?” Jiang Ye asked Jiang Dahai excitedly, as if he had just grasped something.

When Lu Anran first visited his home, she did mention that her father was in poor health, but she didn’t go into details. How did Jiang Dahai know?

“Are you hiding something from me?” Jiang Ye stared coldly at Jiang Dahai, not missing a single change in his expression.

A hint of guilt flashed across Jiang Dahai’s face. Years ago, he went to great lengths to find Lu Anran’s home and thoroughly humiliated her and her family.

He just wanted to destroy his son’s happiness; he couldn’t stand seeing his son doing better than him. He just wanted to torment him.

Of course, he would not admit that he was an extremely cruel and vicious father.

“I know, so I know. Don’t change the subject. You made Chen Xiaoxian cry tonight, so you’d better go and apologize to her tomorrow!” Jiang Dahai said fiercely.

Jiang rolled her eyes at him impatiently, not wanting to say another word. She got up and went into her bedroom.

He clearly saw the fleeting look of guilt on Jiang Dahai’s face.
