Xu Ziyao's watery eyes were calm as she swept across Su Wan's beautiful face. Finally, her gaze passed Su Wan and fell on Jiang Xuecheng behind her.
"Xuecheng, I haven't seen you for a while. You seem to have lost weight."
Is Xu Ziyao blaming herself, her daughter-in-law, for not taking good care of him
Su Wan lowered her eyelashes nervously, feeling inexplicably nervous. She always felt that Jiang Xuecheng's mother didn't like her very much.
Jiang Xuecheng, who was standing by, saw Su Wan's helplessness, and immediately stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and led Su Wan towards the table.
"Mom, you are mistaken. Wanwan has recently ordered me to eat more every day. It is possible that I have gained weight."
Jiang Xuecheng's voice was steady, and his words were full of protection for Su Wan. Su Wan looked up at the man beside her, and her originally awkward demeanor became calm and confident.
She came to the Jiang family for a banquet, not to be arrested for public trial. If she looked nervous, it would probably drastically lower the impression of her elders.
Xu Ziyao looked at their clasped hands, a flash of light flashed across her beautiful eyes. What exactly did her son like about Su Wan
However, seeing that there was someone who could be protected by Jiang Xuecheng like this, Xu Ziyao's expression became a little complicated, as if she was disappointed, but also happy.
Xu Ziyao took the wet wipes handed to her by the servant, wiped her hands, and sat down opposite Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng in a cool manner.
"Eat your food."
Su Wan looked at the round table with a sumptuous dish in confusion. It was so strange that apart from the servants, there were only her, Jiang Xuecheng, Luo Xiuxiu and Xu Ziyao here.
Jiang Xuecheng's father Jiang Wei and his grandfather Jiang Zhiyuan were not there...
Su Wan couldn't suppress her curiosity and finally looked up at Luo Xiuxiu on her left.
"Grandma, do Grandpa and Dad have anything to do today?"
"Yes, the father and son have some important things to do recently, so they are both out."
As Luo Xiuxiu spoke, she picked up a piece of braised pork belly for Su Wan with her chopsticks.
Su Wan was a little overwhelmed by Luo Xiuxiu's enthusiasm. She had just picked up a lot of dishes for him. If she picked up more, Su Wan was afraid that she would not be able to finish it.
Su Wan quickly said, "Grandma, I have enough food, I really don't need it."
Luo Xiuxiu had asked Ah Si a long time ago and knew that Su Wan was a carnivore. She mistakenly thought that Su Wan wanted to eat but didn't dare to eat too much, so she kept picking up food for Su Wan.
"Hey, Xiao Wan, this is your home, please don't be polite. If you are not full, tell grandma."
Su Wan smiled helplessly and could only nod in agreement.
Because Luo Xiuxiu was there to ease the tension, the meal was more relaxing than Su Wan had imagined.
Just when the meal was almost over, Xu Ziyao, who had been silent the whole time, spoke.
"Xuecheng, when are you and Awan going to hold your wedding? Last time before May Day, I asked you if you wanted to hold the wedding during the holidays, but you kept putting it off. What are you planning on doing?"
Xu Ziyao's voice was elegant and mellow, as clear as the sound of jade colliding, but when it reached the ears of the people present, the atmosphere suddenly stagnated.
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that Xu Ziyao had called Jiang Xuecheng and asked them to hold the wedding on May Day!
Su Wan signaled to the man beside her with her eyes—How could you not tell me such an important thing!
It's no wonder that Xu Ziyao is always concerned about the wedding. The Jiang family is a prominent family in Jiuzhou. Powerful families always value their reputation the most, not to mention such a big event as marriage, which cannot be taken lightly.
After Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan got married, they kept delaying the wedding intentionally or unintentionally, which made Xu Ziyao inevitably worried.
Jiang Xuecheng glanced at Su Wan soothingly, then glanced at Xu Ziyao and raised his eyebrows calmly.
"No rush, Wanwan and I have already obtained our marriage certificate, so it doesn't matter when we hold the wedding."
When Xu Ziyao heard Jiang Xuecheng's Tai Chi-like answer, a hint of disappointment appeared on her cheeks - ever since her eldest son became independent, he really didn't discuss the big or small matters with her as a mother.
Xu Ziyao took a deep breath and looked directly at Jiang Xuecheng with her clear eyes, still dwelling on the matter of the wedding.
"It's fine to get the marriage certificate, but you have to give the girl a wedding, right? Ah Wan is the granddaughter of the Xie family, and she comes from a family of scholars. I don't want to embarrass myself in front of my teacher. Give me a definite answer, will the wedding be held before the 11th?"
Su Wan was stunned. She originally wanted to say that her grandfather Xie Changfeng was very satisfied with Jiang Xuecheng as his grandson-in-law and would not mind something as formal as a wedding.
But seeing that Jiang Xuecheng had already spoken, Su Wan remained silent.
"Before eleven?"
There was a deep light in Jiang Xuecheng's dark eyes. He stood up, his profile was handsome and cold, exactly the same temperament as Xu Ziyao.
"Mother, I think the 11th is a good date. Why don't we wait until October 1st to hold the wedding."
"you-"
Xu Ziyao stared at Jiang Xuecheng's sharp eyes, and a mouthful of blood choked in her throat. She always felt that Jiang Xuecheng was deliberately making her angry.
It was Luo Xiuxiu, who was standing nearby, who saw the increasingly tense atmosphere between the mother and son and came out to smooth things over.
"Oh, isn't it almost June now? November is coming soon. Well, I want to get ready."
Seeing Luo Xiuxiu's smile, Xu Ziyao finally suppressed her anxiety and sat down with her. However, her beautiful face was as cold as the night, which made people feel daunted.
Su Wan looked at the two icebergs sitting there and felt that he and Luo Xiuxiu were about to freeze to death.
Jiang Xuecheng and Xu Ziyao were too incompatible. This mother-son relationship made Su Wan terrified.
Moreover, Su Wan could see that Xu Ziyao was truly doing this for the good of her son, but it was a pity that Jiang Xuecheng didn't appreciate it.
Thinking of Jiang Xuecheng's childhood, Su Wan felt sad. She knew that this man was probably locked up in the ward by Xu Ziyao for a long time when he was a child, so he developed a rebellious mentality towards his mother.
But this can’t be blamed on Xu Ziyao, right
Jiang Xuecheng was in such poor health when he was a child. As a mother, Xu Ziyao must have hoped that her son would live well, and she had no choice but to lock him up...
After dinner, Xu Ziyao's stern expression finally eased a lot.
Xu Ziyao walked down the stairs and glanced at Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng who were packing up to leave. Jiang Xuecheng saw her and acted as if he didn't see her, but Su Wan nodded to her.
"Mother."
Xu Ziyao nodded lightly at Su Wan. She looked at Jiang Xuecheng, her voice as light as the wind.
"Haoxuan and An Ning will be back in a few days, go to the airport to pick them up."
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. That day, she was in Jiang Xuecheng's office and happened to receive a call from Sheng An Ning.
Suddenly, a girl's heavenly voice came into my ears. She said "Brother Xuecheng", and every word was full of affection.
