Yu Nian was forced to stay.
Grandma Jiang's attitude was very determined. Even if the sky fell, she would still finish the meal with her.
Jiang Nianyan's attitude was very deep and difficult to understand. He said, "Since Miss Yu came home just to reminisce about old times, don't leave in a hurry."
Yu Nian's heart sank.
Misunderstood her.
It comes from what Jiang Ze said just now: Didn’t you agree to come back and have dinner with grandma?
She told Jiang Nianyan on the phone that she came to the Jiang family's old house to clear up her relationship with Jiang Ze. However, when Jiang Ze interfered with her in this way, she would inevitably think that she was being duplicitous and plotting against Chen Cang.
With a clear conscience, she came to the old house just to find a chance to speak clearly to Mrs. Jiang.
Now that his father is gone, the old man of the Jiang family has also passed away. Even if Mrs. Jiang no longer cares about world affairs, she is still the most authoritative elder in the Jiang family and has the right to speak.
Yu Nian could smell something wrong from Jiang Ze's statement. Jiang Ze didn't seem to want to regret the marriage, so she could only convince Mrs. Jiang to let her make the decision.
What Yu Nian thought about was that with the current situation of the Yu family, Mrs. Jiang would still have to think about the interests of the Jiang family no matter how much she wanted to.
Dinner was at a small restaurant, where Mrs. Jiang usually ate.
After Mr. Jiang passed away, the large dining room in his old house had been used for some time. It was too big and looked like a banquet hall. But the small restaurant is actually not too small, and can accommodate less than ten people.
Mrs. Jiang took the main seat and asked Yu Nian to sit next to her. Jiang Ze naturally sat next to her.
Jiang Nianyan sat across from him, and Yu Nian could see him just by raising his eyes.
The butler ordered the chef to serve the food, and the table was filled with delicacies.
Mrs. Jiang was kind and said softly to Yu Nian, "Aze remembers exactly what you like to eat and what you don't like. The chef also prefers Jiangnan in terms of taste. Try it and see."
Yu Nian looked at the familiar dishes on the table, his throat felt blocked, and he said a little, "The chef at my old house can be trusted."
It has nothing to do with whether Jiang Ze misses her or not. She just misses home, missing the Yu family that she can never go back to.
Jiang Ze mistook her for being touched and said quickly, "You don't even know that grandma asked the housekeeper to prepare the ingredients early in the morning. She was so happy when she found out you were coming."
Yu Nian looked at Mrs. Jiang, and this time she was really moved.
"My child, I know what happened to the Yu family makes you sad, but it doesn't matter. Isn't there still the Jiang family? This is your home. Whenever you want to eat the food from your hometown, you can come back and eat it. The food cooked outside is not authentic. "Old Mrs. Jiang looked at her distressedly.
Just as Yu Nian was about to speak, he heard Jiang Nianyan chuckle slightly.
She raised her eyes.
"Mother." Jiang Nianyan looked at Mrs. Jiang, "The cook in the old house may not be able to satisfy Miss Yu's taste. After all, oranges from the south and oranges from the north."
These words have a certain meaning.
Mrs. Jiang didn't expect so much. She said with a smile, "If this cook is not good, just change to another cook. What's the difficulty? Just keep changing until we are satisfied with Nian Nian."
Jiang Ze approached her and chuckled, "Looking at how much grandma loves you, I'm even jealous."
"You bastard, what I love is your future wife, my future granddaughter-in-law. What are you jealous of?"
"Yes, yes, grandma taught me a lesson."
Mrs. Jiang was in a good mood today, and she also liked to talk at the dinner table. First she complained about everyone who was too busy working and didn't talk to her properly.
"Especially you kid." Mrs. Jiang pretended to be resentful and looked at Jiang Nianyan, "You don't follow your brothers and sisters every time they come back."
Jiang Nianyan lowered his voice and smiled, "Mom, I can talk to you every time I come back alone. But when I come back with them, I can't even talk to you."
"Nonsense." Mrs. Jiang doted on her younger son, and her scolding was all done in a doting tone. "The New Year's Eve banquet. Although you and Aze are not much different in age, we are still separated by generations. Now Aze is getting married. As a brother-in-law, you can't be left behind by your nephew, right?"
"Mom, my matter is not urgent." Jiang Nianyan remained calm.
Jiang Ze said with a smile on the other side, "My uncle will make grandma anxious if he doesn't worry. Now even my aunt who is anti-marriage is talking about getting married. Does it mean that my uncle wants to be single all his life?"
Jiang Nian's banquet was slow and slow in picking up the dishes, and his gestures were very restrained and polite, showing the elegance and etiquette of a wealthy family. He just raised his eyelids slightly, half-smiling, "Are you teaching me how to do something?"
Jiang Ze felt that although he was smiling, there was bottomless darkness deep in his eyes, and for some reason there was a sudden coldness behind him. He cleared his throat and said, "No way, am I worried about my uncle? If my uncle is not anxious, grandma will take action. Isn't it you who will feel the pain then?"
Mrs. Jiang smiled at the corners of her eyes, "Look, Aze understands me best. At the New Year's Eve dinner, your Uncle Xu's daughter two days ago——"
"Mom." Jiang Nianyan interrupted Mrs. Jiang softly, "We won't talk about this topic since there are guests here today."
"How can Nian Nian be considered a guest? Sooner or later, we are all part of the same family." Mrs. Jiang turned around and took Yu Nian's hand, looking at her with joy in her eyes.
In fact, Yu Nian had been looking for an opportunity. After hearing this, she took a deep breath and said, "Grandma Jiang, I came here today actually-"
"I want to discuss the specific matters of marriage with grandma." Jiang Ze intercepted Yu Nian's words smoothly and put his arm around her shoulders affectionately. "Something happened to Juanzhou before, but Nian Nian didn't care about it. Now it's all over. Now, the marriage between Niannian and I should be put on the agenda. Grandma, you are the ancestor of our family. No one dares to object if you nod."
Yu Nian looked at Jiang Ze in astonishment and understood immediately.
It seems that Ji Zi has been pestering him secretly, and according to Ji Zi's character, she will never give up. Jiang Ze is afraid that the boat will capsize in the gutter. At this moment, being able to announce the marriage to the outside world is the best way for Mingzhe to protect himself.
Except for the Jiang New Year Banquet, the two sons of the Jiang family were all well-matched in marrying each other, so it was natural that they could not accommodate actors. Jiang Ze is the eldest grandson of Jiang's eldest son, and he can only obey the arrangements of his elders when it comes to marrying a wife and having children.
For Jiang Ze, instead of marrying an actor who threatens him and makes the elders less favorable to him, it is better to continue the engagement with her. It is better to be mature than to be in life. Even if her Yu family is in decline, she is still a A down-and-out socialite, at least her origins sound better.
No wonder Jiang Ze was so active today and even staged a loving drama in front of Mrs. Jiang.
Being able to act is a good match for Ji Zi.
But Jiang Ze was right in saying something. Mrs. Jiang was the ancestor of the Jiang family and had a strong voice. As long as she nodded, it would be useless even if Jiang Ze's father, Jiang Niantai, was reluctant.
Yu Nian clearly felt the pressure from the opposite side.
He has no trust in her at all. He would believe Jiang Ze's words even more.
Grandma Jiang was so happy when she heard this. Her eyes lit up happily and she kept saying, "It's settled, it's settled. How many years have you two spent together? It's time to settle."
"I came today to break off the engagement." Yu Nian ignored Jiang Ze's expression and took advantage of every opportunity to express his intention directly, "Grandma Jiang, I'm sorry."
