Jiang Huai felt like his brain was being struck by lightning. He felt the pain of being humiliated.

He was so angry that he laughed. “Stop acting like you’ve been let down. What right do you have to make me love you?”

She only had eyes and heart for Wu Chen and had even aborted their child for him. How could she dare to question whether he loved her or not?

Yan Xia calmed down. The two of them were married because of a shotgun marriage. It was ridiculous to talk about love or not!

“Yes, I will remember President Jiang’s teachings!”

The two of them fell into silence again.

After an unknown period of time, a servant knocked on the door and broke the silence between the two of them.

It was the nourishing soup that Liang Lan had prepared for the two of them to drink before they slept.

Jiang Huai didn’t say anything. He walked past the servant with a dark expression and slammed the door shut.

He locked himself in the study.

Yan Xia took advantage of the servant’s daze to wipe away the tears on her face. She forced a smile that was not very natural.

“Put it down, I’ll drink it later.”

Of course, the servant didn’t dare to gossip about the master’s family. She could only pretend that she didn’t know anything and quietly left.

However, the butler was an old man by Mother Jiang’s side and had watched the two children of the Jiang family grow up since they were young. Naturally, he cared more about them than most people. The servant didn’t dare to hide anything, so she told the truth when the butler asked.

Nanny Li told Mrs. Jiang.

“The Young Master must be angry.”

Mother Jiang was helpless. “Although they rarely quarrel in front of me, they always look harmonious on the surface. I knew there was something wrong! I asked them to stay at home, but they were not willing and insisted on moving out. I don’t think I’ve been able to hold a grandson until now because the two of them don’t know how to get along!”

Nanny Li knew that she was upset, so she walked behind her and massaged her back and shoulders.

“Madam, don’t worry. The Young Master has a stubborn temper, and quarrels are inevitable. As long as Young Madam is a little gentler and shows her weakness appropriately, the two of them can still get along well.”

Liang Lan didn’t think that way. “Jiang Huai has been stubborn since he was young, but he’s always been very nice to Zhang Ying. I’ve never seen him lose his temper at Zhang Ying.”

Nanny Li couldn’t help but sigh. “This Miss Zhang is indeed outstanding. I often see her on TV. There are thousands of people in the hall, but Miss Zhang is playing the piano on the stage alone. It’s so grand!”

Liang Lan sighed, “Sigh, this child is close to me. If it wasn’t for that incident, I also hoped that she could become my daughter-in-law. When she had nothing to do, she would play the piano to kill time. Isn’t that better than having no one by my side all day? But the past is the past. In the end, the two children are not fated to be together.”

Liang Lan patted her own leg again, indicating for Nanny Li to massage her knee.

When Nanny Li squatted down, Liang Lan continued to nag.

“Besides, do you think I don’t know my son? We’ve all seen how he treated Yan Xia when they first got married. He’s just bothered by what happened three years ago, but the Jiang family has never divorced before. Since they’re married, they’ll live together, regardless if they want to or not!”

Jiang Huai slept in the study for the night. The next morning, he was picked up by his chauffeur before Yan Xia could even wake up.

When Jiang Ling found out about it, she couldn’t help but smile.

Mother Jiang gave her a reproachful look. “Don’t forget how angry your brother was yesterday. You better watch your mouth today!”

Jiang Ling was displeased. She hugged her mother’s arm and whined, “Mother is biased! You don’t dote on Ling’er anymore!”

Liang Lan would not fall for her tricks.

“Don’t go too far. No matter what, she’s still your sister-in-law. Who would say that about their own sister-in-law? Your brother was already very lenient with you yesterday. If you continue to do that, even I can’t protect you.”

Jiang Ling pouted and mumbled in dissatisfaction, “Hmph, she’s a scheming and vicious woman. She can’t compare to Sister Zhang Ying at all. Just you wait, my brother will dump her sooner or later!”

“Jiang Ling!”

Seeing the glint in her mother’s eyes, Jiang Ling replied reluctantly, “I know, I know.”
