“In a relationship?” Yang Jiashu was dumbfounded.
“So fast?”
Jiang Nanshu nodded: “You got together as soon as you agreed to date; does that take long? The guy confessed to Xi Xi and gave her flowers; that was a proper ceremony. Isn’t it normal for Xi Xi to agree out of gratitude? Oh, by the way, is this what you came to see me about?”
Yang Jiashu’s lips moved, looking somewhat lost: “Um… I was just asking. I’m a little worried because I can’t find her.”
“Oh…” Jiang Nanshu replied casually.
“I heard you’re getting married. Congratulations.”
She directly hit him where it hurts.
Yang Jiashu gave a wry smile: “Nothing like that. Don’t talk nonsense. I’ll decide on my own marriage.”
“Oh? Really?” Jiang Nanshu said, sounding skeptical.
Yang Jiashu was also somewhat troubled. The main problem was that the Yang family was now embroiled in a major case and desperately needed someone from higher up to help them resolve it. Otherwise, the collapse of such a large company in an instant was no joke.
He took a deep breath: “Nanshu, can you tell me where Xu Xi is? I’ll go find her and explain things to her myself.”
Jiang Nanshu’s earlier words were all lies to Yang Jiashu.
However, Xu Xi had been feeling down for several days because of Yang Jiashu’s proposed marriage.
Although she kept saying things like ‘She’s happy that he is getting married’, Jiang Nanshu could still tell that Xu Xi liked Yang Jiashu.
If there’s a problem, it should be addressed face-to-face.
So Jiang Nanshu said directly, “She’s taken leave to go back to her hometown. If you want to go, hurry up, as she’ll be back in a couple of days.”
Upon hearing that Xu Xi was only going back to her hometown, Yang Jiashu breathed a sigh of relief and visibly relaxed.
He smiled again and said, “Okay, I’ll go find her now.”
He took a few steps, then stopped and waved to Jiang Nanshu: “Thank you, Nanshu.”
Jiang Nanshu laughed and said, “You’re welcome. I won’t let you off the hook if you make Xi Xi unhappy.”
He patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry.”
The opportunity had been given to Yang Jiashu; it was now up to him to seize it.
Jiang Leyi patted Jiang Nanshu’s shoulder, smiling gently, “Let’s go. What do you want to eat? It’s my treat. I’m going back to Hong Kong tomorrow.”
Jiang Nanshu stood up: “So soon?”
“Yeah.”
Jiang Leyi put her arm around her shoulder: “You’re going to be a mother soon, so I should go back and get married at my age.”
“You have someone you like?” Jiang Nanshu asked, somewhat surprised.
In the original storyline, Jiang Leyi would be played with and abandoned by several scumbags, and eventually die a tragic death. However, this world is no longer bound by the plot, and everyone’s fate is different.
Jiang Leyi paused for a moment, then shook her head: “I was too busy with my career in the past few years to date, and now I’m even busier with the family business, so I have even less time for dating. It’s an arranged marriage. My dad found me a match. The man’s family and my family have been friends for generations. He’s the only son in his family. I’ve met him a few times. He’s a very humble and polite person, and my parents are very satisfied with him.”
She said that her parents were satisfied, not that she herself was satisfied.
Jiang Nanshu glanced at her: “Are you willing?”
Jiang Leyi nodded: “In families like ours, we don’t have the right to choose. They’ve been looking for me for nineteen years, and I don’t want them to worry anymore. Nan Nan, actually, your marriage to Lu Qingyan is also a marriage alliance, but he loves you very much. I just hope that in the future, my marriage partner and I can treat each other with respect.”
