Chapter 531: Chapter 530: Love-Struck at Home 12

With Ah Chen’s reminder, Jiang Maochuan and his wife indeed found their old teaching materials and started studying them whenever they had time, and Ah Chen naturally didn’t fall behind.

The Commissioner had only one wish, which was to protect the Jiang Family members, but she felt it was a regret not to have taken the university entrance exam.

Then go ahead and apply for an exam.

Once she graduates, she’ll return. Her mission is to protect the Jiang Family, so she shouldn’t be running off elsewhere. Building her hometown sounds great.

As for that scrutinizing gaze from Yu Sanjie, since they haven’t made a move, she couldn’t be bothered to pay attention. The reckoning will come eventually, there’s no rush. Considering the things the Yu Family is involved in, she’ll find an auspicious day to send them to meet their doom.

This can be easily managed when the time for strict crackdowns comes. It’s just a matter of writing a few tip-off letters and sending them out; no one can save the Yu Family.

The premise is that the Yu Family won’t come looking for trouble.

But Su Man had already leaked her information to Yu Sanjie, so interacting with the Yu Family was only a matter of time.

Just like that, on Saturday a matchmaker came to their home.

The Jiang Family wasn’t surprised; Ah Chen was beautiful. Ever since she turned eighteen, people occasionally came knocking. But Chen Xiuying and her husband always turned them down, feeling their daughter was still young and there was no need to find someone so early, plus those who came to call really didn’t match up to their daughter.

Now it was Ah Chen’s turn. The matchmaker had come a few times before, and each time Ah Chen had turned them down after expressing her thoughts to the Jiang Family. She wasn’t considering relationships for the time being, and the Jiang Family knew she was decisive and didn’t press her.

"It’s the Yu Family from town. They have good conditions, three older sisters who are all married well, no family burdens. Once you marry, it’s just to enjoy life. The young man looks good and matches your daughter well."

Matchmaker Li smiled, in her view, Yu Jinyong’s conditions were excellent. Unfortunately, she didn’t have a beautiful daughter, otherwise, she would surely have her daughter try.

In this day and age, having good conditions and good looks is as rare as a treasure.

"This young man doesn’t have other flaws, right?" Chen Xiuying lowered her voice. Otherwise, with such good conditions, he should have been taken long ago. The conditions were good, but she wasn’t blinded by it. This was her daughter’s lifelong happiness at stake; she couldn’t be careless.

"The young man just likes good-looking people; otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited until now." Matchmaker Li smiled, "He has met some before, and this young man is stubborn. He insists on finding someone as good-looking as himself. That’s his only quirk."

"If you think it’s possible, I can bring him over for a meeting, how does that sound?"

Matchmaker Li didn’t think the Jiang Family would refuse; this was an opportunity that couldn’t be found, even with a lantern.

On Saturday, the Jiang Family was to have a meal together, and Jiang Maohua brought Su Man along.

Su Man heard Matchmaker Li’s words and laughed to herself. With Jiang Chen’s looks, of course, the Yu Family would be interested. She glanced at Jiang Chen, who sat quietly to the side; with Yu Jinyong’s appearance, not many girls could resist.

Jiang Chen was no exception.

She was just waiting for Jiang Chen to marry into the Yu Family and bear one child after another.

Of course, having children, especially a son to carry on the family name, was considered natural in the village. No one saw it as odd, even the doting couple, Chen Xiuying and her husband, thought having a son was beneficial for the family.

Regardless of what people thought, seeing her once lofty sister-in-law, who flitted around the globe all year, being tethered to childbearing one after another, never able to leave, she took pleasure in it!

It made her happy!

Ah Chen noticed Su Man’s exposed emotions. Was she thinking of something bad happening to her again? Was she imagining her having a bad life after marrying Yu Jinyong, feeling happy inside?

Ah Chen just found it amusing, but surely couldn’t let it go her way.

"Chenchen, what do you think?" Chen Xiuying asked.

Perhaps because the matter of splitting up the family left a deep impression, anything that came up, the Jiang Family would subconsciously ask Ah Chen.

Chen Xiuying and her husband felt very fortunate for the separation. If they hadn’t split, Chen Xiuying might not have endured Su Man’s behavior, and it would certainly lead to quarrels, making the home unpeaceful.

Su Man lightly pursed her lips, her eyes flashed with jealousy.

The Jiang Family truly treated their daughter well. If this were in the Su Family, her parents wouldn’t have asked her a single word; they’d happily agree, eager to send her to the Yu Family at once.

That was the difference.

She hated Jiang Chen so much!

Not only was this sister-in-law so superior, urging childbirth, but they also both had two brothers, yet their treatment was worlds apart.

In her previous life, ever since she married into the Jiang Family and saw how they pampered Jiang Chen, she had fantasized countless times, imagining how happy her life would be if she were Jiang Chen.

No need to make various plans for her future.

If she didn’t plan for herself early, she’d just be sold by her parents to someone unknown.

If she were Jiang Chen, even with a liking for Gu Lingfei, she wouldn’t need to hurriedly seize him. With the Jiang Family at her back, even if Gu Lingfei achieved endless success, she really wouldn’t need to grasp him tightly.

Besides, Jiang Chen’s achievements were indeed not low.

If she were Jiang Chen, she’d be able to attend university, become a true urbanite, fly around the world, see all kinds of landscapes, meet different people. With her beauty and education, she’d only meet people better than Gu Lingfei.

Gu Lingfei really wouldn’t be missed.

As for love? She did like Gu Lingfei, but mostly saw him as a lifeline. Yet this lifeline deserted her at the critical moment, leaving her in such a plight. Even though it was like this, she’d wait for Gu Lingfei to return, enjoy his achievements, glory and wealth, which was what she deserved! It was what Gu Lingfei owed her!

She had to hold on to Gu Lingfei.

Because she wasn’t Jiang Chen.

Lost in her own thoughts, Su Man suddenly heard Jiang Chen’s voice.

She quickly lifted her head, what did Jiang Chen just say?

"Mom, no, I’d rather not. I don’t want to consider these things right now." Ah Chen rejected without hesitation, though more trouble might follow, she didn’t care and was determined to refuse, "I’m not ready to plan a future with one person. It shouldn’t be something to rush into. Besides, just because someone has good conditions, it doesn’t mean you can randomly decide to marry, right? That’s being too irresponsible to oneself."

Though Chen Xiuying and her husband were a bit disappointed, they didn’t intend to force things.

Actually, the couple was still wary of pitfalls. The suitor’s conditions were almost too good to be true and hard to believe. Even though their daughter was great, they didn’t want to be careless. Since their daughter didn’t have this thought, then so be it.

Jiang Chen actually refused?

Su Man couldn’t believe it.

With Yu Jinyong’s conditions, if she didn’t know the whole story, even she would be tempted.

Yet Jiang Chen refused without hesitation!

Was this the confidence from the Jiang Family’s doting?

Su Man’s eyes flashed with mad jealousy. Then she thought of her own money-loving parents. If it were them...

She bit her lip, her hand gripped the chair tightly, her fingers turning white.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Jiang Maohua asked.

Su Man quickly came back to her senses, feigning tiredness as she rubbed her arm, "I’m a bit tired." She leaned closer to Jiang Maohua, successfully drawing all his attention back to her.
