Regarding Yu Nian's matter, Jiang Ze actually had a lot of opinions about Jiang Nianyan.
Whether it was the rumors that had spread before or the fact that Yu Nian went to work in Zhongshi.
He always had a vague feeling in his heart that the two people must be related.
But this is just a feeling he has, and there is no evidence.
So today Jiang Ze somewhat revealed his inner dissatisfaction when facing Jiang Nian Banquet, especially since he interfered in Yu Nian's affairs, which made Jiang Ze feel even more unhappy.
In Jiang Ze's heart, although he and Ji Zi had to be tied together, he didn't love Ji Zi. It was only a matter of time before they separated. It was a fact that Yu Nian was his.
He would not let go of Yu Nian easily, even if reality did not allow it.
Jiang Ze was not frightened by Jiang Nianyan's stern look. He always had the feeling of "You are trying to trick my wife, can't I resist?"
So he met Jiang Nianyan's gaze and said, "Of course I don't dare to comment on what my uncle is doing, but I have something to kindly remind my uncle."
Jiang Nianyan looked indifferent.
Jiang Ze looked at Yu Nian behind her, and then at Jiang Nianyan. "She paid homage to her ancestors and recognized her as her brother-in-law. From today on, you are her brother-in-law. There are some things that relatives can do, but there are some things that cannot be done between relatives. I'm afraid that my brother-in-law is busy and forgets. This one."
When Yu Nian heard these words, she felt anxious. She felt that Jiang Ze knew something.
There is no airtight wall in this world. Sooner or later, outsiders will know about her and Jiang Nianyan. Even if she has paid attention to it repeatedly on weekdays, what happens once?
Her only thought now is that if one day their relationship is discovered, it will be after she has completely cut off contact and relationship with him. Even if it is spread, it will be nothing more than a boat to her. Cross the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Jiang Nianyan said calmly, "You don't have to worry about how I view my relationship with Yu Nian. Jiang Ze, take care of your people and do your job."
Jiang Ze pursed his lips hard, turned around and left without saying anything else.
Calm returned to the corridor.
Yu Nian's heart was beating wildly because of what he said at the Jiang Nian Banquet just now.
I don't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Jiang Nianyan's words were full of provocation and declaration.
Yu Nian soon gave up the idea in his mind.
No one can figure out his thoughts.
Jiang Nianyan looked at her, "How are you?"
"I'm fine." Yu Nian said softly.
"Want to enter the lounge?" Jiang Nianyan asked.
Yu Nian originally wanted to go into the lounge to hide and relax, but Jiang Ze made such a fuss. In addition, Jiang Nian's banquet was still here, so she had to give up the idea even if she wanted to go in.
Just when he was about to say no, Jiang Nianyan spoke first, "It's not convenient to enter the lounge now, and you are the protagonist today and cannot leave the table for too long."
Yu Nian originally wanted to evacuate quickly, but he didn't want to hear what he said and was confused. Is the rest room inconvenient?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the door of the leisure room opened and someone came out.
Yu Nian's eyes subconsciously met her, and he was stunned.
It's Maura.
He also saw Yu Nian and was slightly stunned.
Compared to the glamorous scene in the morning, Maura seemed less energetic at this moment, the makeup on her face was a little off, and her eyes were obviously tired.
Although Yu Nian was standing there, her heart felt like it was shaking, and it felt like a hand was gripping her heart, causing dull pain and pain.
No wonder he told her that the lounge was inaccessible.
It's really inconvenient to have him and Maura here.
Yu Nian felt as if someone had slapped him hard. It was all thanks to Jiang Ze, right? If Jiang Ze hadn't made such a fuss, she would have pushed the door open and entered, and what would have been her eyes would have been a lingering scene.
"Sorry to bother you." She responded, but then walked away as if she was frightened.
"Hey -" Maura wanted to stop her, but she ran too fast, and it was not convenient for Maura to yell.
After Yu Nian had completely disappeared, Maura turned to look at Jiang Nianyan, "Did she misunderstand something?"
Jiang Nianyan's eyebrows were deep and he didn't answer the topic. When he spoke again, his voice was light and he said, "Go and sort it out. As for the matters between the two families, it's better to choose a formal time to talk to the old lady."
Maura nodded reluctantly. She subconsciously glanced at the lounge, and when she looked at Jiang Nian Banquet, her voice lowered, "I don't owe you Jiang Nian Banquet."
Jiang Nianyan's eyebrows were light and he said, "I've never felt that way."
"So, you feel relaxed now?" Maura asked him.
Jiang Nianyan didn't hide it from her, "I have this feeling."
Maura smiled, a little helplessly, "It's really a trick of fate."
"You don't need to be mentally burdened. I will be with you whatever you say and do."
Hearing this, she raised her eyes and looked at him, "Do you know why I just said I don't owe you anything?"
Jiang Nianyan looked at her.
Maura looked at him, "Because your heart has never been on me in these years."
Jiang Nianyan's eyes were calm, "I'm sorry."
"You are really..." Maura wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
What a charming and cruel man.
After all, I couldn't say this.
"But Jiang Nian Yan, I have been attracted to you." Maura whispered, "I used to look forward to the future of you and me, but loving you is too tiring, and I will be tired and shrink."
Jiang Nianyan looked at her without saying a word.
"That's it." Maura actually had a lot to say, but for some reason, she couldn't say anything.
After a long time, I finally talked about practical issues.
"This matter will not be good for you after all."
Jiang Nianyan said quietly, "Don't worry, I never care about that."
Maura looked up at him with a strange look in her eyes.
Jiang Nianyan asked her what was wrong.
Maura lowered her voice this time, "What do you think about Yu Nian?"
Jiang Nianyan frowned slightly, "What do you think?"
Maura looked at him, "Jiang Nian Banquet, there are some things that cannot be hidden."
"What do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is," Maura sighed, "you are very different from Yu Nian, maybe you don't even notice it yourself."
She said nothing more and turned to leave.
Jiang Nianyan stood there with his hands in his pockets, his tall figure showing indifference and alienation. He thought about Maura's words, and a sneer slowly appeared in his eyes.
Yes, how could it be the same?
So different.
-
Jiang Nianyan returned to the lounge.
Jiang Zhixing had brewed tea early, and the fragrance of sea orchids overflowed.
When Jiang Zhixing came back from the New Year's Banquet, Jiang Zhixing smiled lightly, "It seems that our little niece is not a light-hearted person. She looks cute, but she is actually very stubborn at heart. It's no wonder that Jiang Ze still misses her."
Jiang Nianyan sat down opposite him, "She is not my niece. It's your business if you want to recognize her."
Jiang Zhixing poured tea for each other and reminded, "You sat in the ancestral training hall and drank tea, and now you have turned your back on me? Isn't it too late?"
Jiang Nianyan held the tea cup with one hand and said lightly, "Red tape, if I don't want to abide by it, it means nothing."
Jiang Zhixing looked up at him and smiled, how arrogant he was.
"Let's talk about Maura." Jiang Zhixing stopped worrying about Yu Nian and said softly, "Are you really happy to accept it?"
"Otherwise?" Jiang Nianyan raised his eyebrows slightly, sipping a cup of tea, "How can I beat the mandarin ducks with a noodle stick in front of the rightful master?"
Jiang Zhixing smiled softly, "You sound like a victim."
"Isn't it?" Jiang Nianyan asked.
"If you are really a victim, you won't let me get what I want given your temperament."
Jiang Nianyan drank tea and said calmly, "After all, we are a family, and family scandals should not be made public."
"Do you believe this statement?" Jiang Zhixing asked him with a half-smile.
Jiang Nianyan raised his eyes and glanced at him, "What else?"
"Otherwise..." Jiang Zhixing seemed to be thinking, "There is another scenario, which is that you originally didn't want to get married, so you decided on me."
Jiang Nianyan's lips twitched slightly, "I force you to poach your own family and covet your future younger siblings?"
"Just like you don't admit that Yu Nian is your niece, I don't deny that the word 'brother and sister' is placed on Maura's head." Jiang Zhixing said with a half-smile.
"In that case, what else do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Nianyan poured the tea and said lightly, "I can make my own plans, but that doesn't mean I can influence your feelings."
Jiang Zhixing smiled slightly, "This is a happy situation for everyone, at least for you, isn't it?"
Jiang Nianyan glanced at him and didn't say yes or no. He just raised his cup slightly to indicate, "It is a meritorious deed for lovers to finally get married."
-
Jiang Xin had been chasing Yu Juanzhou all night, dragging him to see this and that, without giving him any chance to breathe.
But she was protective of her. Jiang Xin blocked everyone who came to toast, and warned the toasters, "These are our own children, don't feed us like this."
He sincerely regarded Yu Juanzhou as a relative, and he was also worried about Yu Juanzhou's affairs.
Yu Juanzhou was very grateful to Jiang Xin, but he couldn't let her stop the wine, so he would drink some when he came and went. Several times he passed by Yu Nian with a glass of wine in hand, without even bothering to speak.
Vanity fair, interest fair, everyone is very realistic.
Because of the family recognition, the values of Yu Nian and Yu Juanzhou have indeed risen with the tide, and the number of people who come to Ba Feng can be seen by the naked eye.
Even if it's not flattery, it's almost equal dialogue.
Yu Nian didn't even have the chance to say "drink less" to Yu Juanzhou.
Qiao Min sent her a WeChat message asking her if everything went well.
Yu Nian thought for a while and replied, "It will be very lively when Ji Zi is here."
Qiao Min sent a surprised expression, "How dare you act like a monster in front of the elders of the Jiang family?"
Yu Nian replied, "Is that okay? Your acting skills are superb."
"Then what?"
Then……
Then he was punished by Jiang Nianyan.
Thinking of the Jiang Nian Banquet, she felt a knot in her heart again.
I couldn't help but feel angry in my heart: Jiang Nianyan, are you a breeding pig? In this case you can also...
But he was soon startled by his irritable mood. Maura was his fiancée, so even if they had something in the lounge, it was normal, right?
Yu Nian, Yu Nian, why are you so upset?
She chose a quiet place to have some food, where she could see Ji Zi's figure. This kind of occasion is naturally indispensable for her. Maybe she is used to being in Vanity Fair, so this kind of occasion is like a duck in water for her.
But this time Ji Zi was smart and didn't take the initiative to provoke Yu Nian. She just met Yu Nian's eyes and left with a cold snort.
Well, out of sight, out of mind.
Yu Nian was just planning to pad his stomach, but he didn't want Mo La to come over.
The first thought was to leave.
Maura saw through her thoughts and quickly stepped forward to block Yu Nian's way. Yu Nian looked up and smiled, "Maura."
"You're avoiding me." Maura was very direct.
"No way, I didn't even see you." Yu Nian raised his chin slightly, "I want to get some pineapple cake. I was dragged to drink by some ladies just now, and I feel sick in my stomach."
Maura didn't say anything when she heard this, and turned slightly to give way.
Yu Nian felt that it was really embarrassing at this time, but it happened that no one came to see her at the moment. She could only bite the bullet and put the pineapple cake on a delicate plate, and asked, "Would you like some?"
Maura said, "I quit sugar."
Yu Nian exclaimed, "That's pretty awesome. I'm not good at it. Although I'm not greedy for sugar, I'll still be greedy if I don't eat at all."
Maura smiled slightly, took the dinner plate in her hand, walked to the cold dining area next to her, and put some light food on the plate. "Actually, there is a way. I can tell you if you need it."
She said and looked Yu Nian up and down again, "But you are already so thin, you are still young, and your skin is good, so you are not in a hurry to quit sugar now."
Yu Nian smiled and said nothing.
"I think you're unfamiliar with me." Maura leaned closer to her.
"No way, you're overthinking it." Yu Nian felt that she was too close to him, making him want to press her against her, so he subconsciously took two steps back.
Maura sighed softly, "Look, you still said no, is it because of the Jiang Nian Banquet?"
This sentence made Yu Nian change his expression slightly, "What does it have to do with him? Maura, don't think too much."
"You should stop thinking nonsense." Maura approached her again, "Did you misunderstand when you were in the corridor just now?"
"ah?"
Maura said softly, "Jiang Nianyan and I are not what you think. We were talking about things in the lounge."
Yu Nian looked at her in surprise.
An unmarried couple were just talking in the lounge. Not to mention whether this argument was reliable or not, Maura's behavior of rushing to explain to her made her very confused.
Forget talking about things, even if you do something, you won't be able to explain to her.
"Maura, you..." Yu Nian was really confused, "Why are you telling me this?"
"I just want to tell you, I'm afraid you will misunderstand."
Yu Nian was even more puzzled, "So what if I misunderstand? Why are you afraid that I will misunderstand?"
"Because..." Maura opened her mouth, but hesitated.
Yu Nian waited for her to continue.
As a result, Maura didn't say anything for a long time, her attitude was that she was not ready to say anything.
After a long while, Maura said, "Anyway, you actually want to thank me."
Yu Nian put down the plate, but after all, he still couldn't get a piece of it into his mouth. Maura's behavior and behavior today were too strange.
"How do you say this?"
Maura lowered her eyes and looked up at her, "Without me, you still can't get rid of Jiang Ze. You don't like him and don't want to marry him, but you can't make him give up on his own initiative."
Yu Nian looked at her with calm eyes.
Maura understood this scene immediately, "You have already guessed it, right?"
"Yes." Yu Nian was also very straightforward, "I thought more complicatedly at the time, and I didn't think you did this to make me appreciate you."
Maura smiled softly, "I think I should be able to know how you view this matter. You think it is a conspiracy theory, right?"
"Is not it?"
"Yes, but not entirely." Maura looked at her, "I did want to help Jiang Nianyan at that time. The open and covert fight between him and the head of the house didn't happen for a day or two. I can help him. It's not a waste of time to get to know each other. But..."
She paused, and then spoke with sincerity, "What I want more is that I don't want you to marry Jiang Ze, and I don't want to see you being ruined by him in this life. So Yu Nian, what I did was very... The big purpose is for you.”
After hearing these words, Yu Nian felt shocked.
She never expected Maura to say that.
After a while, she regained her senses and asked Maura, "I don't understand. You said you did it for me, but why do you do this for me?"
Maura sighed, "Even if... I want to continue to maintain this rare friendship with you."
This is not true.
Yu Nian chuckled and shook his head, "Do you think I will believe it? Maura," she raised her eyes to look at Moura, the look in her eyes gradually turned serious, "You actually know about Jiang Nianyan and me, right? ?”
