Chapter 577: The Wrong Person
Jiang Zhao said, “Since Miss Li personally came to visit, it’s not appropriate for us to reject her. She’s also your cla.s.smate and about the same age as your friends. Just take it that you’ve invited another guest and let her in.”
Jiang Zhao knew very well what Li Jiajia was thinking. Jiang Zhao also knew very well what Jiang Xianyou was thinking.
Jiang Xianyou called to inform his family before inviting them to his house as guests.
Their family knew that there was a girl in this group that Jiang Xianyou liked, and they also knew that girl’s background.
The Jiang Family was not that uncouth. It was said that the girl came from the countryside, but she could enter Imperial Capital University with her own efforts. The friends she made were not simple, which meant that the girl’s character was not bad.
The Jiang Family doted on Jiang Xianyou, but they didn’t indulge in him.
They usually wouldn’t force Jiang Xianyou to do anything. Everything depended on his wishes. Jiang Xianyou was outstanding and had his own opinions. The Jiang Family trusted him when it came to the girl he liked.
They planned to meet her personally.
They were all very satisfied with Zhao Linlin.
Because Jiang Xianyou had yet to win her heart, Mrs Jiang even offered suggestions to him.
At this moment, Jiang Zhao’s thoughts were that since his brother already had a girl he liked, he had to let the people who had designs on his brother know the Jiang Family’s att.i.tude and take the initiative to dispel their thoughts so that his brother wouldn’t have to worry about any other miscellaneous matters in the future. If anything happened to their impending relations.h.i.+p, his brother would still be the one who would be sad.
“But there are important guests at home…” Mr. Jiang hesitated.
Mr. Jiang could tell Li Jiajia’s temper and thoughts. He was afraid that Li Jiajia wouldn’t be able to control her temper when she saw Zhao Linlin.
Master Nine’s fiancée was Zhao Linlin’s friend. If Li Jiajia provoked Zhao Linlin, Master Nine’s fiancée would definitely not sit back and do nothing. How was this any different from offending Master Nine?
“It’s fine.”
Yan Jinyu stopped and turned back with a faint smile. “Since there are guests visiting, invite them in. It’s not right for the Jiang Family to reject the other guests just because we’re here as guests in the Jiang Family.”
“Brother Nine is accompanying me to the Jiang Family as a private person today. There’s no need to be too reserved.”
Since Yan Jinyu had already said so, Mr. Jiang naturally wouldn’t say anything.
“Since Eldest Miss Yan and Master Nine don’t mind, let them in,” Mr. Jiang said.
Jiang Zhao glanced at Yan Jinyu and met her gaze.
He was slightly stunned.
At that moment, Yan Jinyu had a faint smile on her face. When she looked at him with her eyes, Jiang Zhao actually felt like he had been seen through by her.
Could it be that Yan Jinyu had seen through his plan?
Although he was puzzled, Jiang Zhao was calm and did not show it on his face.
He was a little surprised that Yan Jinyu would say that.
Could it be that her plan was similar to his?
It had to be said that Jiang Zhao was right.
That was Yan Jinyu’s plan.
She thought that they were reinforcements Mo Qian had brought over. Looking at the Jiang Family’s reaction, she realized that the girl who came with Mo Qian had feelings for Jiang Xianyou too.
Zhao Linlin might not be at a disadvantage against Mo Qian. However, it might not be the case against someone with a background.
Anyway, she was already here. She would just treat it as a small favor.
The living room of the Jiang Family’s main building had already been rearranged to entertain the guests. At this moment, there were many delicious and fun things placed there. Anyway, it was not as orderly as before.
They sat down.
Not even two minutes after Yin Jiujin sat down, he handed the gla.s.s of water in his hand to Yan Jinyu. He had just gotten the Jiang Family’s servants to bring it over. “Sit here first. Jiang Zhao and I will go to the study to talk.”
Yan Jinyu looked over, and Jiang Zhao nodded at her.
She smiled faintly. “Go ahead. I’m not a child. I’ll take care of myself.”
Yin Jiujin rubbed the top of her head before getting up to leave.
Watching the two of them leave, Mrs. Jiang, who was sitting at the side, couldn’t help but lament, “Eldest Miss Yan, your relations.h.i.+p with Master Nine is really good.”
“Thank you.” Yan Jinyu smiled faintly. “Auntie Jiang, I knew Second Young Master when I went to Linlin’s house previously. Now, I can be considered as friends with Second Young Master Jiang. Brother Nine is also cooperating with Eldest Young Master Jiang. Just call me by my name.”
Mrs. Jiang already felt that Yan Jinyu was an obedient and cute girl and liked her at first glance. However, because Yin Jiujin was around, she was a little afraid and didn’t dare to talk to Yan Jinyu. Now that she heard Yan Jinyu say that, she was naturally happy.
“Then I’ll call you Jinyu. I heard Linlin and the others call you that when they mentioned you.”
“Sure.”
Yan Jinyu smiled faintly, “Linlin and the others came to the Jiang Family first. Thank you for taking care of them, Auntie Jiang. If any of us have the chance to come to the Jiang Family to play in the future, I’ll have to trouble Auntie Jiang to take care of them more.”
After saying that, Qin Xuan and Zhao Linlin, who were eating snacks, waved at Yan Jinyu. Yan Jinyu smiled back at them.
Mrs. Jiang saw this.
Mrs. Jiang looked at Yan Jinyu and then at Zhao Linlin. She understood.
So Yan Jinyu was speaking up for Linlin and asking her to take care of her more.
She was someone who cared about her friends very much. She was afraid that if Linlin and Little You really succeeded, she would be bullied by the Jiang Family. Hence, she made her stand clear and let Linlin have a backer.
She was very good with words. She did not say it directly, but it was enough for Mrs. Jiang to understand.
“Of course. No matter who comes to the Jiang Family as a guest in the future, Auntie will treat them well.”
Mrs. Jiang sat closer. “By the way, didn’t we say that Little You had a cla.s.smate who came to visit? That girl is the daughter of a partner in the Jiang Family. She can be considered as someone who knew Little You in the past.”
“If she offends you later, please try not to take it to heart on account of the Jiang Family. Of course, if you still have to take it to heart, as Master Nine’s fiancée, with your status here, the Jiang Family isn’t that influential, and the Li Family isn’t that influential either.”
Yan Jinyu looked at the gentle smile on Mrs. Jiang and smiled, “I know. Thank you, Auntie Jiang.”
She said this to tell Yan Jinyu that the daughter of the Li Family had feelings for Jiang Xianyou and to get her guard up.
She also told Yan Jinyu that the Li Family was nothing to worry about.
“Don’t sit here anymore. Go over there and eat snacks and chat with them.”
“It’s fine. I’ve just eaten and I’m not hungry yet. I’ll sit here and watch television for a while.”
She really just watched television.
She held a gla.s.s of water and watched the idol drama.
Mrs. Jiang thought to herself, [What a quiet child. She likes to be alone.]
Her personality was different from the feeling she gave people.
A soft and cute girl who liked to smile like her, should like to play with her peers very much. Instead, she liked to be quiet.
After sitting for a few minutes, the servant brought two people in.
“h.e.l.lo, Uncle Jiang, Auntie Jiang.” Li Jiajia was quite smart. She didn’t observe who Jiang Xianyou’s love interest was first when she entered. She even quickly looked away after glancing at Jiang Xianyou. Her gaze didn’t linger for him and she controlled her behavior very well.
He walked straight to Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, who were sitting on the sofa, and greeted them first.
“It’s Jiajia. You came at the right time. Little You has friends who are visiting today. You’re of the same age. You can play together.”
Compared to Li Jiajia, Mo Qian was much more stupid.
She glanced around when she entered. When she saw Zhao Linlin, she couldn’t hide the anger in her eyes. When she saw Jiang Xianyou, her infatuation was very obvious. When she saw Yan Jinyu… she didn’t dare to look at Yan Jinyu too much.
Hearing Li Jiajia’s greeting, she suddenly returned to her senses and greeted, “h.e.l.lo, Uncle Jiang and Auntie Jiang.”
“Jiajia, this is?” With Mrs. Jiang’s judgment, how could she not see Mo Qian looking around?
Mo Qian’s infatuated gaze at Jiang Xianyou and the anger in her eyes when she looked at Zhao Linlin couldn’t escape her eyes either.
“This is my cla.s.smate, Mo Qian.”
Looking at the girl sitting on the sofa very close to Mrs. Jiang, Li Jiajia narrowed her eyes slightly. “Auntie Jiang, this is?”
She roughly glanced at her. This girl was the most beautiful here and she was sitting so close to Auntie Jiang. Perhaps, she was the person Mo Qian was talking about.
