Chapter 52: You Go Accompany Hanchuan
a light purple floral cheongsam. Her long legs were faintly visible as she walked, carrying an unspoken temptation. 。He clenched his long fingers around the glass, casually raising it to his lips and...But Song Qiao was determined not to give way. She knew he couldn't make a scene with her in public, "I admit, our two families only want to get married, there is no real feeling between us."
She glared at his angry face, equally furious. "But don't you forget who we are surrounded by You publicly entangle yourself with Xiangwan like this, it's clearly not giving the Song family and Jiang family any face!"
Jiang Qi Feng tightened his handsome face, watching Xiang Wan disappear in his sight. A trace of pain flashed in his amber eyes.
He glanced at Song Qiao, and walked past her toward the exit.
"Wait a minute!" Song Qiao ran up and stopped him.
Jiang Qi Feng lowered his eyes to look at her, pressing his voice low and growled, "What else do you want to do"
"In about a month, it will be my birthday. My parents and your parents agreed that we'll announce our engagement at my birthday party." Song Qiao said with a sullen face.
"So" Jiang Qi Feng was already very impatient.
"So in front of so many people, don't do anything that doesn't befit my fiancé. Otherwise, both our families will just be laughed at!" His impatience made Song Qiao even angrier.
Jiang Qi Feng frowned and stared at her, "I should know what to do without you reminding me, just take care of yourself!"
"I hope you mean what you say and don't make me lose face again like last time." Seeing more and more people looking their way, Song Qiao's face darkened as she proactively took his arm. "Come on, my parents want to introduce you to a few people."
Jiang Qi Feng glanced at the hand she had brought up, and reached out to pry it open.
"You want everyone to know that I fought with you because of A-wan!" Song Qiao's face turned ashen, her words dripping with anger.
Jiang Qi Feng raised his head and glanced at her, pulled her apart, and strode toward the crowd.
Song Qiao stamped her foot, so angry that her eyes turned red.
From the railing on the second floor, He Hanchuan took in everything with his eyes, a sardonic curve playing on his lips. A strange feeling of tightness filled his chest, and he unconsciously slid his slender, handsome fingers to the front of his shirt, impatiently undoing two buttons.
"Brother Hanchuan, you saw it too, right" Jiang Qingran pushed the wheelchair over and said softly.
He retreated two steps, keeping half a meter's distance from her. "What did you see"
"You saw it all, so you're asking me what to do" Jiang Qingran sighed, sounding quite helpless. "It's exactly as you saw. Even though Xiang Wan broke my leg and even though my brother already has a fiancée, he still can't let her go."
"That Jiang Shao is truly a man of many affections." He Hanchuan looked down at the crowd on the first floor, his words ambiguous.
“I’ll just take Han Chuan’s words as praise, but this isn’t a good thing for me.” Jiang Qingran rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. “My brother is about to get engaged to Song Qiao. If there’s any dispute with Xiang Wan at this time, the Jiang and Song families will really lose face.”
He placed his hands on the railing, the fine fabric of his shirt taut from the movement, outlining his slightly toned chest. "Should I get you some walnuts"
"Huh" The topic changed too abruptly, Jiang Qingran was taken aback.
He Hanchuan faintly curled his lips, "Every word you say has hidden meaning. Your brain must be tired."
"Hanchuan, don't joke around. I just want to vent my frustrations," Jiang Qingran said with a bitter expression. "With Xiang Wan wanting to go back to her previous lifestyle, I'm afraid she'll bring up marriage with my brother. My idiot brother would happily agree."
"Do the members of your Jiang family have some special fetish, liking to call their own family fools" Hearing the two words "marriage", He Hanchuan frowned slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
Jiang Qingran smiled wryly, "I'm just telling the truth. For example, me, if I wasn't naive, how could I have befriended someone like Xiang Wan back then She clearly had ulterior motives."
"Everyone praises Miss Jiang for her kindness, but is this really talking about her behind her back" He Hanchuan's handsome brows and eyes held a hint of subtle mockery.
Jiang Qingran looked up at him, her eyes full of admiration, "Yes, I'm a person, not a god. I have negative emotions too. Isn't it normal to vent to someone close to me"
He glanced back at her, a knowing smile on his face, before heading towards the staircase.
"Brother Hanchuan, are you speaking up for Xiangwan today" Jiang Qingran pushed the wheelchair behind him and asked softly.
He stopped, turned to look at her, "It's not how it is, what's the matter" His eyes darkened slightly as he bent down and met her gaze. "Do you want to control me"
"Brother Hanchuan, you're being too serious. I was just casually asking." This veiled question felt more like an admission. Jiang Qingran had a bitter taste in his heart.
"That's fine then." He stood up and said calmly, "I'll have someone carry you down. Don't run around if it's inconvenient, or you might hurt your leg again."
"Thanks for your concern, Xie Hanchuan." Jiang Qingran curved her lips, but her eyes were filled only with bitterness.
When Xiang Wan walked over in a daze, Zhao Yu was chatting with several ladies and noblewomen. Upon seeing her approach, they all stopped talking and looked at each other.
And An Ruya and Yang Lin, these two "old friends" of Xiang Wan, were also there, their faces flushed, with a hint of jealousy and unwillingness.
"This is Wanwan. You all know each other, so I won't introduce her." Zhao Yu smiled and pulled Xiang Wan to the front as if she hadn't seen the changes in those people at all.
Seeing her attitude, the crowd instantly became lively again, as if there had never been that awkward moment just now.
"Two years haven't diminished Miss Xiang's beauty; she's still as lovely as ever."
"Ms. Xiang, you seem to have lost quite a bit of weight. Do you have any good weight loss methods Maybe you could share them with us"
Even Yang Lin and An Ruya expressed their friendliness in a timely manner.
Yelan chuckled inwardly. There were obvious scars on her face and body; it was ridiculous for them to pretend they didn't see them. Yet, she couldn't bear to refuse her aunt's kindness, so she forced a smile and exchanged pleasantries with the group as usual.
"Zhao Jie," Yu Jingyun and Jiang's mother came together, and when they saw Xiang Wan standing beside Zhao Yu, they were stunned.
The smile on Jiang Mu's face vanished instantly, her expression turning grim.
Seeing the reactions of the two people, Xiangwan couldn't say what she felt inside.
They cut off ties with her, but they remain in contact with the Jiang family. Is it because they believed Jiang Qingran's nonsense, or are they prioritizing their own interests and selectively ignoring the truth
"Xiaolin, Xiaoyu, you're here" Zhao Yu greeted the two with a warm smile.
Yú Jìngyùn mumbled softly, only glancing at Xiang Wan for a moment before averting her gaze. Jiang Mu directly frowned and asked, "How is Xiang Wan here with you"
"It's been two years since I last saw Wanwan. Let her stay with me for a while longer, what's the matter" Zhao Yu said calmly.
