Chapter 44: I hope
Jiang Chengyu was watching the fun leisurely, but he didn't expect that the fire would come to him so quickly.
He calmly put down the tea cup and said slowly:
"I'm too busy recently and don't have time to read it. Mom, you can make arrangements if you think it's good."
Shengxia was almost angered by her son's words.
"Should you get married or should I get married? Can you be more careful about your life-long affairs? If you follow your father's example after you get married, I will definitely not be able to forgive you."
Jiang Chengyu said disapprovingly: "Mom, I didn't plan to get married. If you hadn't urged us to get married, I wouldn't have even met. I'm not as good at controlling time as my dad."
There was obvious disdain in his tone, and Shengxia felt his head hurt.
The eldest son was raised by the father of the family and was raised according to the standards of an heir.
He is excellent in every aspect, but in terms of emotions, he is as devoid of any warmth as a big ice cube.
There are women around him, but they are not serious girlfriends. They are the kind who get money regularly and do not require him to worry about it at all.
"Forget it, I don't expect anything from you anymore. I'm more optimistic about the girl from the Ding family. The Ding family is a good match for our Jiang family. The most important thing is that Jiahui is about the same age as Anli. She has a gentle and considerate personality and is a capable person.
Tolerant."
Jiang Chengzhou said helplessly: "Mom, you don't have to consider me and Anli about my eldest brother's marriage. After all, we don't have to live together after we get married. What matters most is that eldest brother likes us."
Brothers have nothing to say. If the two sisters-in-law have conflicts in the future, some things will be difficult to talk about.
Jiang Chengyu was noncommittal. He really didn't have much expectations for marriage. He didn't really care about the person he married, as long as his parents were satisfied.
"I believe in mom's vision. Chengzhou doesn't need to think too complicatedly. The most important thing is family and everything. If mom thinks it's good, she can arrange for us to meet. Maybe others will still look down on me."
What he said was true. The Ding family was not a small family. Ding Guowen was well-known for being cunning and cunning. His daughter could not be chosen by others.
Shengxia didn't care about Sui Anli's family background because the two families had been friends for generations. She and An Muran were best friends, and she had watched Anli grow up.
The meaning of the eldest daughter-in-law is different. She is related to the continuation of the family and the cultivation of heirs. Of course, it is better to be from a well-matched family.
"Since you don't have any objection, then I'll make the arrangements. That's it."
Shengxia originally didn't like to worry, but after being married into the Jiang family for so many years, she had to take care of everything.
Now she just hopes that her son will get married soon and her daughter-in-law will take over her as the head of the family. She wants to live a few more years in a relaxed way.
Sui Anli didn't know that Shengxia was interested in Ding Jiahui at first, but she went to Jiang's house as a guest the next day, and Shengxia took the initiative to mention it.
Ding Jiahui's character is indeed gentle and considerate, but Jiang Chengyu's character is not that lovable, and I don't know how the two of them will get along.
These are not things Sui Anli needs to worry about, she just needs to mind her own business.
She is very familiar with the Jiang family, so familiar that she knows where every plant and tree is, probably because she came there often when she was a child.
But this time she came here, something was different. The servants of the Jiang family were more enthusiastic towards her, showing enthusiasm inside and outside.
Sui Anli just thought it was funny. Sure enough, his status was different and his treatment was also different.
Shengxia and An Muran were discussing the engagement banquet in full swing, while Sui Anli and Jiang Chengzhou became outsiders.
Because of their work commitments, they decided to hold the engagement party on the fifth day of the first lunar month.
Because she was going back to Yanjing, Sui Anli's work at hand would not be until after the new year, so she simply asked for a few more days off.
After returning from Jiang's house, An Muran was still in a state of excitement and kept mumbling about which guests she wanted to invite.
The Sui family and the An family don't have many close relatives, and together with some relatives and friends, there are only three or four tables of people.
At this time, no one asked Sui Anli for her opinion, and she didn't bother to bother herself.
At dinner time, while the whole family was there, An Muran told the Jiang family's plans.
Knowing that their family was going to hold a grand engagement banquet, Mr. Sui was naturally happy. He cared about face the most.
When their family was married to the Jiang family, some people said harsh words. The old man didn't care, but he was extremely unhappy in his heart.
The Jiang family's willingness to hold a grand engagement banquet was a recognition of Sui Anli and respect for their Sui family. He was naturally happy.
When he returned to his room in the evening, he sent a message to Sui Yuan to inform him of the incident.
They have a small family, and as Anli's only cousin, it would be unjustifiable if he didn't show up at the engagement party.
Sui Yuan did not reply to the old man when he received the text message, but called Sui Anli directly.
Sui Anli had just taken a shower and was wiping her hair when she received a phone call. She was a little surprised. The brother and sister had a good relationship when they were young. However, after the death of their uncle and aunt, they became a little estranged.
Sui Anli could not sympathize with his cousin's grief, so he could only silently care for him in his own way.
As soon as the call was connected, a strange yet familiar voice came to my ears.
"Is An An getting engaged? The Jiang family's situation is complicated, and it may not be easy to get married. Have you considered it?"
Sui Yuan's voice was cold and caring, and Sui Anli felt warm to the heart.
"Brother, I can do what I like now. Jiang Chengzhou and the rest of the Jiang family are very supportive. You don't have to worry about me."
Sui Yuan hummed, "Brother has ignored you for so many years, will you be angry?"
When Sui Yuan was a child, Sui Yuan often secretly took Sui Anli to be naughty. Since he had no other siblings, the two cousins had a very good relationship.
Sui Anli chuckled lightly, "I know I feel bad too. You have your own difficulties. I can't help you, but I won't blame you. But I hope to see you at the engagement party.
After all, you are the only brother I have."
Sui Anli said this after all. She didn't want to force him, but she also didn't want him to wallow in the past and never get out of it.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, with only shallow breathing left. Just when Sui Anli thought he would refuse, Sui Yuan said, "Okay, I will come back before you get engaged."
Sui Anli sat up straight in surprise, "Really? Brother, are you really willing to come back?"
Sui Yuan chuckled lightly, "I have a grudge against the old man, but I have no grudge against you. If I don't come back and continue to miss getting along with you, what will you do if you are bullied in the future? The contract I signed here expires.
Then I went back to Yanjing to work, and it’s time to come back.”
This was really a huge surprise for Sui Anli. She smiled and said:
"My dad will be very happy if he knows the news. I'll ask my mom to clean up your room. There are only a few people in our family. You can't go out to live. I can't stand grandpa and ignore him. The older he gets, the worse he gets.
Weird, just don’t listen to him.”
Sui Yuan hummed in a low voice on the other end of the phone. In the past few years of his medical studies, he had seen too many separations between life and death, and his mentality had long since changed.
