Chapter 1270: Chapter 1270: Marriage

Compared to Jiang Jingheng and Mu Yan’s relaxed and leisurely attitude, the Jiang Family Mansion was shrouded in a dense cloud.

In the evening, Jiang Yutai brought Zhuang Chujiao back from Beijing.

Qiu Shuyun was happy her son could come back, but seeing Zhuang Chujiao also tagging along made her uncomfortable.

She knew her son had been staying away from home recently just to accompany Zhuang Chujiao. The more he used to like her, the more she disliked her now.

She always wanted her son to marry a daughter from a prestigious family; when Zhuang Chujiao’s mother had not been driven out of the Zhuang Family, she was indeed the most suitable choice.

And now, whenever she saw Zhuang Chujiao, the phrase "femme fatale" popped into her head, so naturally, she didn’t give her a good face.

She said seemingly unintentionally, "Jiaojiao seems to have been on vacation recently; aren’t you working?"

"Auntie, I’m not working at the moment," Zhuang Chujiao said truthfully.

She could also feel that Qiu Shuyun’s attitude towards her had changed, but if there was another choice, she wouldn’t have wanted to deal with Jiang Yutai either.

She smiled slightly, "A young girl should have a career."

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? It’s useless men who make women work; I can take care of Jiaojiao," Jiang Yutai frowned and said.

Qiu Shuyun glared at her son. He was already defending her before marrying her; who knows what would happen if they got married.

No matter what, she would never agree to it.

After dinner, taking advantage of the fact that the old master and others were in the living room, Jiang Yutai directly announced, "I plan to hold an engagement ceremony with Jiaojiao next month, and we will have the wedding later this year."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Shuyun’s face darkened, "I do not agree."

As for the old master, Jiang Zhengfeng, and the others, they didn’t speak, clearly sharing the same stance.

A trace of unease flashed across Zhuang Chujiao’s face as she looked at Jiang Yutai.

Jiang Yutai patted her hand to comfort her. He looked at Qiu Shuyun, his attitude firm, "Mom, I’ve already decided."

"Decide on what? Marriage is a major event, and requires the consent of both sets of parents. You want to get married without that? Dream on!"

"I’m notifying you of this so that you can propose to Jiaojiao’s parents."

"I absolutely won’t do that," Qiu Shuyun said coldly.

"Why?" Jiang Yutai was visibly displeased, "Didn’t you hope for me to marry Jiaojiao before?"

Looking at her son’s confused expression, Qiu Shuyun wanted to curse him for being foolish and unable to see the situation clearly.

But some things can’t be said too bluntly.

She frowned and said, "Jing Heng married Jiaojiao’s half-sister. If you marry Jiaojiao, what would that look like?"

Saying this, she turned to Zhuang Chujiao, "You should know how much your sister dislikes you. I don’t want future family disputes. Jiaojiao, you are the most sensible one."

Although Zhuang Chujiao knew this was Qiu Shuyun’s excuse, she instinctively felt disgusted upon hearing Mu Yan’s name.

"I understand everything Auntie said. I’m not worthy of Brother Yutai. I shouldn’t have come here today." Saying this, she got up and ran outside.

Seeing this, Jiang Yutai hurriedly chased after her, "Jiaojiao, don’t be angry..."

Watching her son’s retreating back, Qiu Shuyun’s expression was extremely unpleasant.

How did she give birth to such a muddle-headed person?

The old master had not expressed a single opinion on this matter from start to finish and soon went upstairs to rest.

This made Qiu Shuyun even more dissatisfied. She recalled how the old master was quite angry upon learning that Jiang Jingheng had secretly gotten married. She even laughed at Jiang Jingheng for angering the old master.

Now, by comparison, she actually wished the old master would get angry; at least it would prove that he still cared about Yutai.
