Chapter 311: Chapter 311

Seeing Lin Jiayi hand over the red wedding invitation, Jiang Kechu directly blocked it for Wan Chu’er, coldly saying, "No need."

He knew what was going on. The Zhu family had looked for him, Mr. Lin said he couldn’t control Lin Jiayi, and had already severed the father-daughter relationship with her.

As for Lin Jiayi’s determination to marry the foreigner Simon at all costs, he had done his research. The Simon family was said to be a noble family in Europe, but in his eyes, they were nothing more than landlords with a few generations of inheritance, and this Simon was a marginal figure in the family. That’s why he had been exiled here.

However, to decide on marriage after only a few days of acquaintance and to marry hastily, in his view, this foreigner didn’t place much importance on Lin Jiayi or on marriage at all.

He even thought this foreigner was not as good as Second Young Master Zhu; at least if there was something wrong with Zhu Er, Jiang Lirong could make a scene at the Zhu family. But if it was Simon, who could stand up for Lin Jiayi?

If Lin Jiayi wanted to marry this foreigner, then let her.

But from now on, the relationship between Lin Jiayi and their family would need to be carefully considered. That’s why he didn’t want Wan Chu’er to accept this invitation.

Rejected so mercilessly by Jiang Kechu, Lin Jiayi felt somewhat stiff and embarrassed.

But the invitation was stubbornly held aloft, Lin Jiayi slightly lowered her head, biting her lip, maintaining a look that was both vulnerable and strong.

The commotion here soon drew the attention of others in the room.

Third Uncle Jiang asked, "What’s the matter, Jiayi?"

Really forgetful, or maybe businessmen always want to leave some leeway, a sneer appeared at the corner of Jiang Kechu’s mouth.

Lin Jiayi turned her head and forced out a strained smile, "Uncle, I’m getting married in a few days, I’ve come to deliver the invitation, I want Chuchu to attend."

Mr. Jiang tried to restrain himself but could not help muttering softly, "We’re all family."

Wan Chu’er watched Lin Jiayi’s expression as if she were a bystander and even mischievously thought to herself, if Lin Jiayi confronted Zheng Yun, she wondered which one of them would come out on top.

Seeing everyone in the room looking over, with faces that wanted to offer advice but were afraid to, Wan Chu’er found it amusing. She held Jiang Kechu’s arm, then reached out her fingers, pinching the invitation between two of them.

Lin Jiayi showed a relieved smile, "Thank you, Chuchu, I will arrange the best seat for you."

Wan Chu’er shook the invitation in her hand, smilingly inquired, "May I know who the groom is? Second Young Master Zhu? Or has there been a change?"

Since Lin Jiayi was intent on provoking her, she didn’t mind stimulating Lin Jiayi a bit, peeling back her facade.

Everyone knew the deal with Lin Jiayi’s marriage, and they all thought that Lin Jiayi marrying Zhu Er was a great grievance. Who knew Wan Chu’er would still ask such a question.

Apart from Second Aunt Jiang and Third Aunt Jiang who resented Lin Jiayi for being a troublemaker, the faces of Mr. Jiang, Second Uncle Jiang, and Third Uncle Jiang became unpleasant, feeling that Wan Chu’er was being smug and deliberately provoking Lin Jiayi.

Jiang Lingling said irritably, "You know full well, it’s all thanks to your luck, my cousin is now getting married to that bastard Zhu Er."

Seeing Jiang Kechu’s face darken, Wan Chu’er playfully winked at him. Only then did Jiang Kechu snort, then he gave Jiang Lingling a cold look, causing Jiang Lingling to shrink back in fear, hiding behind her mother.

Right now, the person Jiang Lingling was most afraid of was this big cousin. Without even a blink, he could make her dad and her second uncle go crazy.

Lin Jiayi said unnaturally, "If you come, you’ll know who it is, won’t you?"

Thinking you could fool everyone?

Wan Chu’er continued, "Looks like it’s not Second Young Master Zhu anymore, huh? I wonder where Miss Lin found such a desirable husband in such short notice. Why not share with everyone here? They’re all quite concerned."

Lin Jiayi regretted it once again. Why did she invite Wan Chu’er? Why did she want to show off to Wan Chu’er?

Seeing Lin Jiayi’s unnatural response, the sharp-witted people in the room all caught on. Could it really be, as Wan Chu’er had said, that there was a new man?

Since Lin Jiayi wasn’t speaking, Wan Chu’er didn’t press her further. After all, doubts had been seeded among the crowd, and when the truth was revealed later, no one would accuse her of forcing Lin Jiayi into marrying Second Young Master Zhu.

"Oh, right." Wan Chu’er suddenly smiled and said, "Last time at the mall, I lost my scarf. Did you see it? Perhaps you picked it up for me? It was a red scarf, you know, with the power of Yue Lao, capable of helping one find a good marriage match."

Lin Jiayi’s heart twisted with anger, wishing she could curse Wan Chu’er out vehemently. It seemed Wan Chu’er knew about her affair with Simon.

So she did it on purpose, intentionally wanting to embarrass herself.

But with so many eyes on her, she could only try to hold it in. Lin Jiayi shook her head gently and said softly, "I haven’t seen your scarf. Maybe someone else picked it up."

That damned scarf, she had already thrown it into the trash. Thinking this way, she felt a bit of vindication.

Wan Chu’er laughed, "Oh, that’s fine then. Nothing else, we’ll be heading out first."

After finishing her words, she didn’t wait for Lin Jiayi’s reaction and left the room with Jiang Kechu.

As soon as Wan Chu’er and her party had left, the atmosphere in the living room relaxed significantly. Jiang Lingling came over and eagerly asked Lin Jiayi, "Cousin, did you really change grooms? Who is he?"

When it was revealed that Lin Jiayi’s marriage partner was a foreigner, Mr. Jiang expressed his displeasure, "What’s so good about that foreign devil?"

Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang remained expressionless, but deep down, they weren’t happy for her.

On the other hand, upon hearing from Lin Jiayi that Simon was European nobility, Second Uncle Jiang and the others smiled again, warming up to Lin Jiayi as if their affection had returned to the days of old.

Jiang Lingling was ecstatic, "That’s fantastic, cousin! I knew you wouldn’t be so easily defeated. Humph, she wanted you to marry Second Young Master Zhu, but now her plan has fallen through. Haha, cousin, let me be your bridesmaid..."

Father Jiang genuinely felt disappointed by his relatives’ despicable behavior, so he left with a sweep of his sleeve for his study.

Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t like what was going on either. The mother and daughter shook their heads at the crowd who were now warmly surrounding Lin Jiayi, and then they both went into the kitchen.

With so many guests to feed today, it was best to get the meal prepared quickly. The real matter was to eat and then send everyone away.

Outside, after walking a distance from the house, Jiang Kechu looked at Wan Chu’er and said, "The foreigner Lin Jiayi’s hooking up with has been married abroad once before, he’s even worse than Second Young Master Zhu, so you have no reason to be upset."

Wan Chu’er was startled, then laughed and said, "Tell me more in detail."

In her past life, Lin Jiayi never stopped showing off about Simon.

Looking at her now, Lin Jiayi still seemed quite satisfied with Simon, or at least she appeared to be.

Jiang Kechu, seeing her interest, proceeded to spill some unflattering details about Simon. Wan Chu’er was delighted upon hearing them. She thought to herself that if Lin Jiayi dared to flaunt Simon in front of her again, she shouldn’t blame her for not being polite.
