There was a faint smile in Sheng An Ning's black and white eyes. Only she knew the real reason why she didn't want to call Su Wan "sister-in-law".
Until now, she still couldn't accept the fact that Jiang Xuecheng was already married.
Su Wan was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Ms. An Ning, I think it's okay to call you sister-in-law. It's just a title, and it doesn't sound old-fashioned..."
Jiang Xuecheng held Su Wan's hand and glanced at Sheng Anning and Jiang Haoxuan indifferently.
"Since Wanwan doesn't think this title is anything special, don't even think about changing it."
It seemed like a double entendre. When Sheng An Ning saw the cold curve at the corner of Jiang Xuecheng's lips, she felt as if her heart was instantly stabbed.
She felt a chill all over her body, and the smile in her eyes froze instantly.
Don't try to modify anything? Was it a hint that I shouldn't covet Su Wan's current status
Jiang Haoxuan was the first to react. He quickly pulled Sheng Anning's arm and greeted Su Wan with a smile.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Sheng An Ning bit her lip awkwardly, and finally followed Jiang Haoxuan reluctantly and said, "Sister-in-law."
Su Wan nodded gently at the two of them: "Haoxuan, An Ning, hello."
It was the first time that Su Wan was addressed like this. Although she was not used to it and could see that there was no sincerity in the eyes of the two people who addressed her, she still felt inexplicably touched in her heart.
It doesn't matter whether they agree or not, as long as the man standing next to her is protecting her.
As for other people, they actually have little to do with her.
Because Jiang Xuecheng's car was parked in a relatively remote parking space at the airport, the four people walked for a while before they found it.
Jiang Xuecheng naturally opened the passenger door for Su Wan. Sheng Anning, who was standing behind them, saw this scene with a dazed look on her face.
She had never seen Jiang Xuecheng be so gentle and considerate before, but it was a pity that the person who could make him show such an expression was not her.
When Jiang Haoxuan saw Sheng Anning's sad look, he felt as if his heart was being grabbed by a hand and the pain was unstoppable.
People are probably like this. The person you like doesn't like you, and you give so much to that person, but for someone who doesn't love you, it seems that all your efforts are ignored.
From childhood to adulthood, he followed Sheng Anning wherever she went.
Jiang Haoxuan originally thought that if he accompanied Sheng Anning to Dongchen Kingdom for further studies, he would be able to get the upper hand. Unfortunately, the facts proved that some people's hearts will only open to one person.
Jiang Haoxuan immediately pushed her shoulder, and then helped her open the back door: "An Ning, sit inside."
Sheng An Ning came to her senses, smiled at Jiang Haoxuan, and then moved to sit in the innermost seat.
On the way from S City International Airport to Weiyang Restaurant, the black Koenigsegg calmly moved through the traffic.
Sheng An Ning, who was sitting in the back row, looked at Jiang Xuecheng in front of him, and saw that when he and Su Wan occasionally made eye contact, they could also reveal infinite tenderness and pampering.
In an instant, my heart ached.
Sheng An Ning's eyes flickered, and he finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xue Cheng, how did you and sister-in-law...sister-in-law know each other?"
It turns out that when I mention the title of sister-in-law, my heart only hurts more and more.
Hearing this question, Jiang Xuecheng's lips curled up slightly, and the scene of the night when he and Su Wan met suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
For Su Wan, what happened that day might not be very pleasant, but for Jiang Xuecheng it was just the opposite.
"Wanwan saved my life, so I'm thanking you with my own body."
Sheng An Ning opened her lips, and her eyes flashed with astonishment and worry: "Brother Xue Cheng, has something happened to you, or are you sick again like when you were a child?"
Jiang Xuecheng shook his head calmly: "It's just that I met a few thugs."
Seeing that Jiang Xuecheng was not going to say more, Sheng An Ning pursed her lips and finally fell silent.
By the time they arrived at Weiyang Restaurant, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the elders of the Jiang family had already been waiting in the private room.
As soon as Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng pushed the door open, they saw a large table full of delicious food and wine. Luo Xiuxiu and Jiang Zhiyuan were sitting on the left side of the round table, while Xu Ziyao and Jiang Wei were sitting on the right side.
Seeing Su Wan and his group coming in, the elders immediately stopped talking and laughing. Xu Ziyao's eyes passed over Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan and fell on Jiang Haoxuan and Sheng Anning behind them.
A warm smile appeared on Luo Xiuxiu's cheeks. She stood up and waved to Jiang Haoxuan and Sheng Anning.
"Haoxuan, An Ning, you two are finally back after such a long time. Why does grandma feel that you have lost weight? Is it because you didn't eat well in Dongchen Country? Come on, come and sit next to grandma."
A decent smile appeared on Sheng Anning's pretty face. She tilted her head to glance at Jiang Haoxuan, then quickly walked towards Luo Xiuxiu and snuggled in her arms.
"Grandma, I miss you so much."
Jiang Haoxuan immediately followed and sat down next to Sheng Anning.
Luo Xiuxiu stroked Sheng Anning's forehead with a smile on her face, and then pointed at Jiang Haoxuan.
"An Ning, you've been in Dongchen Country for so long. Did Haoxuan bully you? If so, tell grandma and I'll teach him a lesson for you!"
Sheng An Ning's beautiful cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked like a timid little girl: "Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about? Haoxuan is my brother, and it's almost the same for me to bully him."
Hearing these words, many elders present couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Su Wan glanced at the happy and harmonious family reunion scene in front of her and found that Jiang Xuecheng's expression was always indifferent, as if he was completely unable to fit in with this joyful scene.
Su Wan felt a slight pain in her heart, wondering how Jiang Xuecheng had lived in the past.
He has a cheerful and sunny brother, and a sister who is the funny guy and good at pleasing the elders. Only Jiang Xuecheng looks cold and indifferent, and is out of tune with his relatives.
…
After the meal started, Luo Xiuxiu kept picking up food for Sheng Anning and Jiang Haoxuan who were sitting nearby, but Jiang Haoxuan refused.
Sheng Anning kept thanking her, and then finished all the dishes that Luo Xiuxiu had picked for her, looking very well-behaved.
"Thank you, grandma."
When Sheng An Ning saw Jiang Xuecheng pick up a piece of fish for Su Wan next to him with chopsticks, her eyes changed slightly, and her originally generous smile became a little bitter.
A trace of melancholy appeared on Sheng Anning's pretty face. She lowered her head slightly to hide the discomfort, then slowly raised her head and smiled at everyone present.
"I brought some gifts for everyone when I came back from Dongchen Country this time."
Sheng An Ning stood up and placed two bags in front of Luo Xiu Xiu and Jiang Zhi Yuan. “These are for grandpa and grandma.”
Sheng An Ning then walked towards Jiang Wei and Xu Zi Yao and handed out two small bags: "This is uncle and aunt."
Seeing Sheng An Ning walking towards Jiang Xuecheng, Su Wan's heart inexplicably began to tighten.
