Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang Wei knew that Fang Yuqing and Fang Pingjue had a cold relationship. Seeing that she was a little sad, he did not say anything else. Besides, he didn’t want to be accused of showing off.
“Is your eye makeup a little blurry?”
Upon hearing Jiang Wei’s words, Fang Yuqing asked, “Where?” Fang Yuqing’s attention was immediately diverted as she sized up her makeup in the rearview mirror.
She stared at her clean makeup in the mirror and said to Jiang Wei, “There’s no marks. Did I not see it? Where? Point it out for me.”
As Jiang Wei drove, he took another look at her and said, “I might have seen something wrong.”!!
“I see…” After being disrupted by Jiang Wei, Fang Yuqing, who had been a little sad just now, immediately forgot her unhappiness.
Upon seeing her emotions rise again, Jiang Wei’s lips curled up.
This girl’s thoughts were that simple.
The two of them chatted occasionally. When they were about to reach the Jiang residence, Fang Yuqing started to feel nervous again. However, what should come would come. Jiang Wei’s car turned into the villa district and told her, “We’re here.”
The Jiang Family’s villa had been bought many years ago. Back then, this villa district was the best villa district in Binjiang City. It had been bought for more than 20 years, and it looked a little old now.
As this environment was still considered quiet and far away from the city, the air was better. The Jiang family could not be bothered to change houses anymore, so they stayed here. However, Jiang Wei and Jiang Jie still had their own house outside. As they had not started a family yet, they still stayed at home most of the time and only stayed in their houses outside occasionally.
Fang Yuqing had been to the Jiang Family before and was quite familiar with them. After the change in her identity, she became even more nervous when she saw the Jiang Family’s house getting closer. The car drove to the Jiang Family’s entrance, and Fang Yuqing saw Madam Jiang, Liu Qingya, and Jiang Jie standing at the Jiang Family’s entrance, looking in their direction.
Mrs. Jiang had obviously dressed up specially. She was wearing a very elegant green dress that reached her knees and a blue woolen coat to ward off the cold. The last time Fang Yuqing had seen Mrs. Jiang, her hair had been very long and black.
Upon seeing her today, he realized that Mrs. Jiang had changed a lot. She had cut her long hair and turned it into a short, wavy hairstyle. Her hair had been dyed gold. Her skin was fair, and she had put on makeup. She stood at the door, looking especially eye-catching.
Mrs. Jiang had a sense of beauty that had been tempered by time. She had a refined temperament and stood there in black high heels, like a celebrity on a poster. Jiang Jie, who was in her twenties, stood beside Mrs. Jiang. Be it her temperament or aura, she could not compare to Mrs. Jiang.
Jiang Wei slowed down and got closer to Mrs. Jiang.
When Fang Yuqing saw Mrs. Jiang, she whispered to Jiang Wei, “Your mother is getting prettier. When I saw her standing there just now, I thought I saw Wang Yan.”
Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment before asking, “Which Wang Yan?”
Fang Yuqing said, “Have you seen Zhu Gege? That Qing’er.”
Upon hearing her words, Jiang Wei stopped the car at the entrance. He sat in the car and stared at his mother through the glass window. Mrs. Jiang walked over and knocked on Jiang Wei’s car window.
Jiang Wei quickly rolled down the car window and looked at his mother quietly.
Liu Qingya asked him, “Why are you staring at Mom instead of getting Qingqing out of the car?”
This was the first time Fang Yuqing had come to the Jiang Family as his girlfriend. As her boyfriend, Jiang Wei naturally had to get out of the car with Fang Yuqing and enter the house with her. However, Jiang Wei, this child, had gotten stuck at the critical moment.
Jiang Wei held Fang Yuqing’s hand and shook it at Mrs. Jiang. “Mom, Qingqing praised you for being as pretty as Qing’er. I was staring at you in a daze.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingya pursed her lips and smiled secretly, her heart bursting with joy. One had to know that when she was young, her favorite female celebrity was Wang Yan. Why would Liu Qingya be unhappy that her future daughter-in-law had praised her for looking like her favorite celebrity?
When Fang Yuqing heard Jiang Wei’s words, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. She shook off Jiang Wei’s hand and said angrily, “Jiang Wei! How can you do this?”
“Okay, I’ll shut up.”
Jiang Wei raised his hand in surrender.
Only then did Fang Yuqing look at Liu Qingya and greet her respectfully. “Auntie, good evening.”
Liu Qingya smiled and replied, “Qingqing is getting prettier.”
Jiang Wei smiled and added, “Of course the person I like is pretty.”
Liu Qingya scolded Jiang Wei for being shameless while Fang Yuqing felt extremely embarrassed. “Alright, let’s get out of the car.” Jiang Wei got out of the car first, and Fang Yuqing got out of the front passenger seat. The moment she got out of the car, she met Jiang Jie, who was standing at the front of the car.
Fang Yuqing was stunned.
In the past, when she had come to the Jiang Family, Jiang Jie’s attitude had been lukewarm. Although their family backgrounds and age were similar, their personalities were very different. There was nothing to say about them being together, so they had always been very quiet when they met.
Fang Yuqing hesitated about how to greet Jiang Jie. Jiang Jie also snapped out of her daze for a while. When she regained her senses, she said to Fang Yuqing, “Sister-in-law, you’re here?” Jiang Jie was actually a little nervous. The moment she opened her mouth, she called her sister-in-law.
Fang Yuqing was stunned.
Jiang Wei said to Jiang Jie, “Did you eat all the honey in the fridge behind my back this afternoon? Why are you so sweet?”
Jiang Jie rolled her eyes and retorted, “Did I call her wrongly?” Jiang Jie grabbed Fang Yuqing’s arm and complained to her. “Sister-in-law, listen to me. Does my brother mean that he doesn’t want you to be my sister-in-law?”
Fang Yuqing was not used to Jiang Jie’s warm attitude.
She was not stupid. She roughly guessed the reason for Jiang Jie’s change in attitude toward her. With a smile, Fang Yuqing asked Jiang Wei, “Then who do you plan to find to be Jiang Jie’s sister-in-law?”
Jiang Wei could not answer and suffered in silence.
“Alright, let’s go in. The wind is quite strong outside.”
“Okay.”
Fang Yuqing opened the trunk of the car and entered the Jiang residence with Jiang Wei carrying a gift bag. As soon as they entered the house, Fang Yuqing handed the welcome gift to Liu Qingya. Liu Qingya could not bear to part with the tea set that Fang Yuqing had given her. She got someone to wash it and disinfect it before preparing tea for Fang Yuqing.
Liu Qingya’s tea leaves were exquisite. They were obviously the same tea leaves, but after she brewed them, the taste was completely different, as if they had been dipped in fairy dew.
Fang Yuqing praised, “Good tea!”
When she was in her teens, she had also been sent by Xu Pingfei to learn the art of tea. However, she had found it boring and impatient, so she had given up halfway after learning for a few days. After she saw Liu Qingya brew tea elegantly just now, she wanted to tell her about the art of tea. When she opened her mouth, she realized that she had nothing to say. She was instantly annoyed.
She had long known that her future mother-in-law liked the art of tea. She should have studied seriously back then.
While she was drinking tea with her future mother-in-law, her father-in-law got off work and arrived home.
The Lunar New Year was approaching, and the company was quite busy. Recently, Jiang Wei had been busy dating, so Jiang Bo’s workload had increased.
