We can't continue to misunderstand like this, and Yu Nian doesn't want to be sloppy.
After she said these words, Jiang Ze's expression suddenly changed, while Mrs. Jiang was stunned and looked at Yu Nian in astonishment.
Only Jiang Nianyan looked as usual, with a calm brow, and was still picking up vegetables and eating. Every move he made was decent and calm, and he seemed to be completely indifferent to what happened on the table.
Yu Nian glanced at Jiang Nianyan subconsciously. She couldn't tell what he was thinking from his too calm expression.
Jiang Ze was obviously angry, but he still suppressed his displeasure and instead spoke softly and patiently, "Niannian, I know you are angry with me. Ji Zi and I really have nothing to do with each other, and there is also the matter of Juanzhou , he’s fine now, isn’t he?”
Yu Nian looked at Jiang Ze and couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. He suddenly wanted to question himself, why did he think of breaking off the relationship with him?
Jiang Ze is indeed good-looking and has inherited the handsome demeanor of the men of the Jiang family. This is one of the reasons why, as a young man in the Beijing circle, he has attracted many famous ladies.
However, if you say that he is thick-skinned, it is not unfair to him. Doesn't it matter?
Is his relationship with Ji Zi based on a public statement?
And about Juanzhou, why did he have the nerve to say it?
"I'm not angry." Yu Nian said this calmly, "I just think we are not suitable."
She looked at Mrs. Jiang and saw that Mrs. Jiang's eyes were still shocked and stunned. She sighed softly and softened her tone. "Grandma Jiang, I will always remember your kindness to me. Now my father is no longer here, and my mother... the relatives of the Yu family are withering away, and no one can come forward to arrange my marriage, so I will say it myself today."
"Niannian——"
"Don't say anything yet." Mrs. Jiang interrupted Jiang Ze and looked at Yu Nian with a puzzled look on her face. "I know that something happened to the Yu family, so I hope you can marry into the Jiang family as soon as possible. You don't have it?" Relatives, the Jiang family is your relatives and your backers. But who is Ji Ji mentioned by Ah Ze just now? And Juanzhou, you said something happened to him, what happened to him? "
The old lady is really deaf to what is going on outside the window. She has no idea about so many things happening now.
"Grandma Jiang, Juanzhou is fine. There was just a small problem before. If you miss him, let him come and see you in two days." Yu Nian explained softly.
Yu Nian just talked about the matter about Yu Juanzhou in an understatement. The real person who solved the problem was sitting opposite her. She had gained it by trampling on her own face, so she didn't want to say more.
Mrs. Jiang was suspicious. Even though Yu Nian said so, she still couldn't let go. When Jiang Ze mentioned Juanzhou just now, she was just happy and didn't notice it for a while, but now she always feels something is wrong.
"Is Juanzhou really okay?" Mrs. Jiang asked.
But before Yu Nian could answer, she looked at Jiang Ze, "Tell me the truth, what happened to Juanzhou? Is everything really fine now, or are you trying to prevaricate me?"
Although Mrs. Jiang doesn't care about things, she is always the most authoritative elder in the Jiang family. As a junior, Jiang Ze could usually chat with the old lady, but he was also afraid of the old lady being angry.
He answered cautiously, "Grandma, Juanzhou just made a small mistake. Now he's fine. You don't have to worry."
"Committed a small matter?" Mrs. Jiang was not confused and narrowed her eyes slightly, "How come it's okay? You stepped in to solve it?"
Jiang Ze opened his mouth and couldn't answer for a long time.
Mrs. Jiang's face tightened and she frowned, "Why don't you answer? Juanzhou is in trouble, you didn't just ignore it and didn't ask, did you?"
"Grandma, I must be concerned about Juanzhou. This is the matter..." Jiang Ze hesitated.
Yu Nian was sitting next to her uneasily. She didn't want to interfere with this matter anymore. She was about to tell her that she had asked someone to handle it, but the man sitting opposite him said lightly——
"I found someone to handle it."
Yu Nian's back tightened.
Jiang Ze's expression froze.
Yu Nian stared at Jiang Nianyan, not caring about Jiang Ze's expression beside her. Her heart was in her throat and she was in a state of confusion.
Jiang Nian Banquet, what are you going to do?
Mrs. Jiang was surprised and questioned, "You?"
The implication is, why did you come forward?
As soon as Mrs. Jiang reacted like this, Yu Nian suddenly understood.
It seems that Jiang Nianyan's work as a bodyguard in the Yu family is extremely secretive. Perhaps only Mr. Jiang knows about it, or maybe even Mr. Jiang doesn't know about it.
At least Mrs. Jiang in front of her had no idea at all. She only knew that her beloved youngest son was kidnapped and suffered many hardships outside. Finally, he finally returned to the Jiang family to recognize his ancestors.
Jiang Ze pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, staring at Jiang Nianyan.
Jiang Nianyan was always calm and indifferent, "I accidentally heard about Miss Yu's brother, and as someone related to the Jiang family, I helped him."
"Then Juanzhou is really okay?"
"Mom, are you still worried about what I'm doing?" Jiang Nianyan smiled lightly.
"Don't worry, mom is most at ease when you do things. If you say it's okay, then it will definitely be okay." Mrs. Jiang was happy and relieved. Turning to look at Jiang Ze, "You talk about you, Nian Nian's matter is your business, your brother-in-law must personally come forward to deal with your matter."
The displeasure in Jiang Ze's eyes quietly dissipated and he put on a smile, "I didn't dare to bother you, uncle, before, but I didn't expect you to help me anyway. I would like to thank you for Nian Nian."
He turned to look at Yu Nian and said softly, "You should tell me about uncle's help."
If Mrs. Jiang hadn't been there, Yu Nian wouldn't have bothered to say more about Juanzhou to Jiang Zedong. But she didn't want to lose her appearance in front of Mrs. Jiang. She said, "I didn't know about it until later."
She bravely looked at Jiang Nianyan again, "So, I am very grateful to Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Nianyan's eyes did not evade at all, he landed on her face without any hesitation, and he laughed, "Thank you? Miss Yu, have you thought of a way to thank me?"
Yu Nian's breath suddenly hitched.
"Uncle." Jiang Ze said suddenly, his tone turning cold.
Jiang Nianyan raised his eyelids slightly and looked at him, his eyes seemed to be frozen.
Jiang Ze was frightened by this look. He cleared his throat, lowered his voice, and smiled, "You will scare Nian Nian if you say that. She is timid."
Jiang Nianyan ignored Jiang Ze, looked at Yu Nian funny, and asked, "Is Miss Yu timid?"
Yu Nian's lips moved, not knowing how to answer this sentence.
Mrs. Jiang spoke up, "Hey, what are you saying thank you for? From now on, we are all a family." She took Yu Nian's hand again and comforted softly, "Nian Nian, Ah Zhi, his uncle, will be the same from now on." He is your brother-in-law. He sometimes makes jokes, so don’t take it seriously."
Yu Nian almost choked at the words "I will be your uncle from now on."
Subconsciously looking at Jiang Nianyan, his brows were very cold.
But he also spoke, and his voice was as cold as the temperature between his brows, "I'm afraid Miss Yu won't be able to call me uncle this time."
He looked at Yu Nian, his eyes like frost on the tiles, "Since we want to break off the engagement, it's best for Miss Yu to take what I say to heart."
Yu Nian secretly clenched his fingers until his palms hurt.
Others may not understand the true meaning of his words, but she does.
All he needed was to say, "Miss Yu, it's better to fulfill the agreement obediently."
Mrs. Jiang actually wanted to avoid the topic of breaking off the engagement. It was not like she didn't see Yu Nian's determination, so she thought it would be best to pretend to be confused and not let her youngest son break her guard.
So he could only point his gun at Jiang Ze again, "You, you, you haven't said anything about the person I just mentioned? Ze, you have a fiancée!"
The scolding was actually giving Jiang Ze a chance to explain.
How could Jiang Ze not understand Mrs. Jiang's thoughts? He was about to show his affection to Yu Nian, but was interrupted by Yu Nian's words.
"Grandma Jiang, it doesn't matter whether you cheat with him or not." She was very determined and turned to look at Jiang Ze, "I don't want to marry. Our fate has ended."
Before Jiang Ze could say anything, she looked at Mrs. Jiang again and said softly, "Whether you blame me or scold me, I will definitely cancel the marriage. Grandma Jiang, it doesn't matter even if we can't be a family, as long as you want to meet I, I will come to accompany you at any time. We can have afternoon tea in the future, or I can accompany you to go shopping and arrange flowers."
Mrs. Jiang became anxious when she heard this, "I understand, Niannian, if something happens to the Yu family, you don't want to get married, right? It doesn't matter, Ah Ze can wait, and when the time comes -"
"Grandma Jiang." Yu Nian sighed softly, "If you really love me, please don't make things difficult for me anymore. Jiang Ze and I are not suitable for each other. We are so coquettish that you don't want to see us end up together." Let’s go to the point of falling apart, at least now it’s not so embarrassing to be separated, right?”
Mrs. Jiang is clear-sighted and understands Yu Nian's temperament. Once she makes a decision, it is not easy to change her mind. But I still felt reluctant to give up, and for a while I was miserable, and I was so angry that I couldn't fight.
Jiang Ze naturally didn't want to go to the point of breaking up, so he lowered his voice and said urgently, "Nian Nian, grandma is not in good health to begin with, do you have to do something so extreme?"
Yu Nian turned to look at him with indifferent eyes and whispered back, "Are you sure?"
Jiang Ze looked sullen.
"New Year's Banquet." Mrs. Jiang was not in the mood to listen to their whispers, and turned to Jiang Nianyan for help, "You also advise Nian Nian."
Jiang Nianyan drank tea slowly, like an outsider.
Yu Nianxin said, he wouldn't persuade me, it would be good if he didn't humiliate me.
Jiang Nianyan spoke with a lazy voice, but he said to Mrs. Jiang, "Mom, since Miss Yu insists on breaking off the engagement, then our Jiang family can only agree. We can't rob civilian girls by force, right?"
"Brother-in-law!" Jiang Ze was anxious, "Why is it so ugly to rob a civilian girl? She is my wife!"
Jiang Nian asked calmly, "Registered?"
Jiang Ze fell silent.
"Everyone who is married has the right to divorce, not to mention that you two are just engaged." Jiang Nianyan said calmly, "Since our fate is over, don't force it. It will embarrass both families. There is no need."
Yu Nian felt that from the moment they reunited to now, this was the time she really wanted to thank him.
Mrs. Jiang's face was extremely ugly, but she had nothing to say to refute, so she could only hold Yu Nian's hand tightly and ask with a sad face, "Nian Nian, are you really willing to let go of the Jiang family and grandma?"
"Grandma Jiang, you will always be the most important person in my heart." Yu Nian said softly.
It would be a lie to say that she is not sad, but this sadness is not because of Jiang Ze, but because of Grandma Jiang. She treats Yu Nian sincerely, and she will definitely not let him go.
But Yu Nian also admitted that she had always been polite to the Jiang family and abided by the rules. She had a sense of boundaries in her heart when she called Mrs. Jiang as Grandma Jiang, and she did not rashly change her name to Grandma just because the two families were engaged.
This may be why Mrs. Jiang likes her more.
Mrs. Jiang sighed heavily.
Jiang Ze was a little panicked when he saw this. He originally wanted to move out his grandma today to put pressure on Yu Nian, but now he felt that the situation was getting worse.
"Nian Nian, let's——"
Halfway through his words, he saw Mrs. Jiang shaking her head at him, indicating that he would not talk about this topic.
But the anger in my heart can't be vented.
Looking at Jiang Nian Yan, he said, "My uncle is a woman who has never been in a relationship, so he doesn't understand that love affairs are inherently messy, so it's better not to add fuel to the fire."
Although Mrs. Jiang didn't want Jiang Ze to talk too much for fear that the situation would eventually become unmanageable, the old lady still agreed with what he said.
"Your nephew is right. After all, we have been dating for so many years, and we still have feelings for each other. It's time for you to find a woman to date during the New Year's Eve dinner, otherwise you have such a cold temperament -"
"A woman with whom I have a relationship." Jiang Nianyan said quietly.
Mrs. Jiang was stunned.
Jiang Ze was stunned.
But Yu Nian's heart suddenly trembled, and he subconsciously looked at Jiang Nianyan. She didn't know what she was feeling at this moment, it was very complicated.
Mrs. Jiang was the first to react and suddenly became excited, "W-what?"
"Mom, you heard me right, I said I'm dating a woman." Jiang Nianyan repeated.
"Tell me, whose girl is she from?" Mrs. Jiang asked anxiously.
Yu Nian was sitting there uneasy. She wanted to leave and didn't want to get involved in this topic. She couldn't guess which move Jiang Nianyan was playing. She was afraid that he would expose the two of them, but there was no chance of this happening.
So the woman Jiang Nianyan mentioned was not her.
Does she count as a "dating" with him?
The word "dating" at least has the connotation of love.
Since there is a woman you like, why would you make such a request to her?
Yu Nian's heart felt so tight and uncomfortable.
It turned out that in his eyes, she was already as low as the dirt.
Jiang Nianyan put down the cup and kept his eyes straight, "It's not the time yet, so it's not convenient to reveal it."
"That's it..." Mrs. Jiang was slightly disappointed, "Then you have to bring her back to me as soon as possible."
Jiang Nianyan smiled slightly and said neither yes nor no.
Jiang Ze, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, suspicious and testing. "Brother-in-law, what kind of woman is protected so well by you without even revealing it to your family members?"
"She." Jiang Nianyan's eyes fell on the tea cup. He controlled the cup with one hand and gently rubbed the rim of the cup with his slender thumb, and then slowly uttered two words, "Very charming."
As if with a smile.
A "bang" sound came from the opposite side.
Although it was very light, the restaurant was quiet.
Jiang Nianyan's eyes fell over.
Some soup splashed on Yu Nian's sleeve, and it just touched the spoon.
Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang quickly ordered the housekeeper to bring a clean towel, but Yu Nian stopped her.
"It's okay, I'll just go and clean it up."
