Chapter 911: You Still Have the Cheek to Come Here
The woman was dressed fas.h.i.+onably. As soon as she sat down, the guests at the same table started to chat with her. They asked her which family she was from and what was her relations.h.i.+p with the Jiang family.
“I’m Jiang Lei’s girlfriend.” Yang Gaoshu touched the edge of the hat on her head gently and smiled shyly. “What about you? Are you a family elder?”
“Oh, so you’re Jiang Lei’s girlfriend? I heard from the villagers that Jiang Lei had a partner who looked like Yaoyao.” The woman was delighted when she heard that. “I’m related to the Jiang family. Jiang Lei addresses me as his aunt. Our families used to live in the same big house. We’re from the same ancestors. Later, when the ancestral house couldn’t accommodate all of us, we moved out.”
Just like that, the two of them started to chat as they asked each other questions.
Jiang Yao and Lu Xiaoxiao were utterly unaware of Yang Gaoshu’s arrival, and neither did her parents, who were chatting with the Lu family. The first person to notice Yang Gaoshu was Lu Yuqing.
Lu Yuqing knew many people in the county town. She had met both of Jiang Yao’s brothers’ partners a few times, and she remembered her impression of them. Lu Xiaoxiao had whispered to her about how Jiang Yao’s second brother had fallen in love with a fickle woman. She heard that they had broken up. So, as she stood there and listened as Yang Gaoshu said that she was Jiang Lei’s girlfriend, Lu Yuqing’s expression froze.
Did Lu Xiaoxiao not say that they had broken up? Why was she there to attend Jiang Jie and w.a.n.g Xian’s wedding?
“What are you two chatting so happily? Jiang Yao, didn’t you notice that you have an additional guest in your house?” Lu Yuqing walked toward Jiang Yao and Lu Xiaoxiao. “Yang Gaoshu is here. Xiaoxiao told me last night that your second brother had split from her.”
After a pause, Lu Yuqing continued to say, “The Yang family does not have a good reputation. If your second brother and Yang Gaoshu split up, let him have a clean break from this family.”
Lu Yuqing’s connections in the county were better than Jiang Yao’s. She had heard a little about the Yang family. She knew that it was not good for Jiang Lei to date the Yang family’s daughter.
She did not have a good relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Yao in the past to say more about that. However, that had changed. She knew that Jiang Yao was like Lu Xingzhi—they were family. If something had to be said, she would say it.
“What?! Yang Gaoshu is here?” Lu Xiaoxiao had an even bigger reaction than Jiang Yao. She turned around and looked at where Yang Gaoshu had sat.
Jiang Yao was dumbfounded as if she had been struck by lightning. What did Yang Gaoshu mean by that?
Jiang Yao walked toward Yang Gaoshu with a cold face. She was taller than Yang Gaoshu, so when Yang Gaoshu was seated, she could look down at her.
“Come with me,” Jiang Yao said coldly as she turned around and walked out of the door.
Yang Gaoshu did not think that the gentle Jiang Yao would be so scary. Even though she knew that Jiang Yao had married into the wealthy Lu family and became a rich daughter-in-law, she did not believe they were any different.
However, since the incident at the mall the previous day, all those a.s.sumptions had been overturned.
Yang Gaoshu felt a trace of fear when she saw Jiang Yao’s aura and expression when she spoke to her male companion at the mall.
If it were not because of that, Yang Gaoshu would not have obeyed Jiang Yao’s cold request for her to follow her. She could only trail behind Jiang Yao stiffly.
Lu Xiaoxiao was about to follow them when Lu Yuqing stopped her.
