Chapter 508: Chapter 508

Wan Chu’er looked at Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai winked at her, indicating for her to watch the drama unfold.

Jiang Kechu paused for a moment, feeling somewhat uneasy, thinking that this brother-in-law really wasn’t a peacemaker, as he had always wanted to break up him and Chuchu, and his current words definitely had no good intentions.

"You seem to be quite aware of what my mother is up to," Jiang Kechu jabbed at Xiao Bai with neither softness nor hardness.

Xiao Bai didn’t take it seriously, laughed and said, "I’ve heard from friends a few times, they think your mother is obsessed with your ex and even wants to bring her back to the Jiang Family, and isn’t Jiang Kefei of your family still single?

I think your ex, who even dumped you, definitely wouldn’t like Jiang Kefei, who isn’t even as good as you."

Although these words were harsh, Jiang Kechu knew that Xiao Bai always sided with Wan Chu’er, always thinking of Wan Chu’er in everything; could it be that Wan Chu’er told Xiao Bai about this?

Otherwise, one was upset and causing trouble last night, and the other making veiled sarcasm today.

He looked at Wan Chu’er, only to see that Wan Chu’er was busy feeding Chuanqi and Hunter egg custard.

"No such thing, it’s better not to talk recklessly about such matters, from now on my mother will keep her distance from Wei Feng," said Jiang Kechu.

This was a promise that both Mrs. Jiang and the Jiang Family would distance themselves from Wei Feng; getting what he wanted, Xiao Bai smiled slightly, "I also think it’s better not to continue these awkward ties with an ex."

Jiang Kechu’s eyes narrowed, his gaze shot faintly towards Xiao Bai, containing a hint of intimidation, signaling him to not meddle, while Xiao Bai grinned, unabashedly meeting his eyes, the meaning clear and unyielding.

"What are you two doing?" Wan Chu’er suddenly intervened between the two, breaking up their standoff.

After a pause, Jiang Kechu left the old house with Wan Chu’er, mentioning they had to spend the day playing with the twins.

The family of four had fun outside all day, and in a blink, it was the next day, the engagement banquet of the Kong family’s grandson.

Wan Chu’er was to go on behalf of Mr. Kong to deliver a gift to the Kong family, and Jiang Kechu also needed to attend the banquet to help Wei Feng. Early in the morning, they dropped the children off at the grand courtyard for Mrs. Jiang to watch.

Seeing Wan Chu’er, Mrs. Jiang recalled that night’s incident and hesitated but still explained, "I don’t have any other thoughts about Wei Feng, I just watched her grow up since she was little and treat her as a junior; rest assured, in my heart, I only recognize you as my daughter-in-law, and I will try to minimize contact with her from now on."

These past few days, she had been pondering and felt that her husband was right; family harmony is most important.

Wei Feng, no matter how charming and pleasing, is in the end an outsider to them; now Xiao Chu is their Jiang Family’s daughter-in-law. Ke Chu spends years abroad, and Xiao Chu, managing alone with the two kids, is really not easy; she shouldn’t cause unrest over an outsider.

Feeling Mrs. Jiang’s benevolent intentions, Wan Chu’er was still moved. Mrs. Jiang had always been a kind person; Wei Feng was adept at managing affairs, previously even managing to chase Jiang Kechu herself, charming everyone in the Jiang Family, naturally capable. If she really wanted to get close to Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang wasn’t the kind to harshly reject.

Thus, in this matter, Wan Chu’er didn’t actually blame Mrs. Jiang; what she cared more about was Jiang Kechu’s attitude.

"Thank you, Mom," Wan Chu’er sincerely expressed her gratitude.

Mrs. Jiang saw Wan Chu’er looking happy and heaved a sigh of relief, instructing: "You must live well together."

Jiang Kechu smiled and said, "Don’t worry." He hugged Wan Chu’er and told Hunter and Chuanqi, "Listen well to Grandmother’s words." Then, they left.

The couple went together to the hotel where the Kong family was hosting the engagement party. The hotel was located in the suburbs and covered a very large area, complete with pavilions, artificial mountains, flowing water, and a garden lake.

The grandson of the Kong family was a capable man, subtly dominating the luxury car market in Greater China, and was quite wealthy. The engagement party took over the entire five-star hotel for two days.

After the engagement party ended today, all guests could continue to revel at the hotel tomorrow.

Additionally, the influence of Mr. Kong and several sons of the Kong family made the banquet exceedingly grand. Many renowned political figures in the city were desperate to get an invitation to attend.

Lin Jiayi was one of them. Due to an incident at a bar a few years ago, her image was tarnished, and she did not receive an invitation from the Kong family. She went through some trouble, using connections from her husband Simon’s friend in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to finally get an invitation.

Old Sir Zhong, on the other hand, was personally invited by Mr. Kong early on, who even had his son deliver the invitation personally. The old man was not fond of such bustling events, but considering his past relationship with Mr. Kong, he sent his granddaughter to make an appearance and deliver a gift.

Driving all the way to the West Suburb, when approaching the hotel, they saw that luxury cars had increased on the road.

Approaching the hotel, they saw uniformly-dressed, well-trained staff members guiding and directing, because there were too many guests. Once at the entrance, everyone got out of their cars, handed them over to the hotel valets, and then walked in.

Soon, the entrance was crowded shoulder to shoulder, with many men and women in splendid dresses either smiling and greeting each other or taking the opportunity to familiarize their faces and leave a good impression. Those who could attend the banquet today were either rich or noble, all quite capable, and leaving a good impression was always beneficial.

Lin Jiayi, arm in arm with Simon, was all smiles, pleased as punch, busy greeting one after another.

Wan Chu’er and Jiang Kechu got out of the car and immediately spotted Lin Jiayi in a red dress in the crowd; she was the most eye-catching in red. Wan Chu’er’s mouth twitched.

Is this person an idiot?

It’s someone else’s engagement party; wearing something so flamboyant, showing off so much, is she here to congratulate the couple or to steal their thunder?

Jiang Kechu also seemed to think of this, his eyes darkened, pulling Wan Chu’er forward.

"Cousin, sister-in-law, you’re here too," Lin Jiayi saw Wan Chu’er and Jiang Kechu quickly and greeted them with a smile.

Simon smiled politely, "Chu, two Chus, it’s great to see you." This update is available on n0velfire.net

Whenever Jiang Kechu and his wife were both present, Simon liked to address them this way, as both of their names contained ’Chu’. Moreover, when he heard Lin Jiayi explain what the ’Ke’ meant, he was baffled, finding it unbelievable that the two of them ended up together.

Wan Chu’er nodded with a smile, acknowledging that Simon’s Western gentlemanly etiquette was still quite good.

After greeting, Jiang Kechu leaned in and whispered to Lin Jiayi, "The Kong family values today’s fiancée highly, and I heard that her dress is also red. If you don’t want to offend the Kong family, you’d better go change your dress."
