C410

The large garden had become empty, devoid of any atmosphere that it was going to celebrate the new year.

Su Qiao An stood at the fountain in the center, suddenly, her hand was held tightly. She looked at the man standing beside her and smiled, "Let's go in."

"Yes."

How did it turn out like this?

Roughly two hours ago, when she said she wanted Zhu Jiangci to return to the Chu Family, Zhu Jiangci asked her to follow her.

She had not wanted to come back at all, because she did not want to be unlucky on this special day nor did she want to get in the way of others. She knew very well that Feng Manli did not want to see her.

But Zhu Jiangci insisted that she come back with him, and he said, "Since I want you to come back with me, I can protect you well."

She wasn't afraid of Feng Manli doing anything to her, she just didn't want to make it difficult for Zhu Jiangci to stay in the middle of her.

Feng Manli and her were like fire and water. If any conflict occurred between the two of them after they met, the one who wouldn't please the both of them would only become Zhu Jiangci.

Seeing Zhu Jiangci being so persistent, she found it hard to reject, and could only follow him back.

And so …

Since the situation had developed to this point, she came back with Zhu Jiangci.

When he saw Feng Manli in the hall, before Su Qiao An could even open his mouth, the other party had already started shouting, "What are you doing? Who asked you to bring her back! "

"She's my wife. What's the problem with me bringing her back to my home?"

Feng Manli's face darkened, "I don't agree with this daughter-in-law of hers, Jiang Yan. How do you usually make trouble for me, I don't care about you, but this woman, I will definitely not allow her to enter our Chu Family's gate!"

"I'm not here for your opinion." Zhu Jiangci said coldly, refusing to budge an inch.

She could only place all of her unhappiness onto Su Qiao An and ridicule him, "I say, Miss Su, if I remember correctly, you already carried your luggage and rolled out of here two years ago. Now that you are back, you really don't feel ashamed!"

Su Qiao An was abnormal. Not only did he not retort with a sharp tongue, he even secretly pulled Zhu Jiangci a little.

Zhu Jiangci was slightly startled as she glanced at her. She lightly shook her head, silently preventing him from thinking about how to protect himself.

She could not bear for him to go against her own biological mother for her. If today's matter were to spread, Zhu Jiangci would have the reputation of being unfilial.

For someone as high up as him, even the smallest blemish would be infinitely expanded.

Su Qiao An muttered to herself for a long time, "I know you don't like me, but at the same time, I don't really like you either …"

Feng Manli's face darkened. Just as she was about to speak, she was immediately snatched away by Su Qiao An, but before she even finished speaking, she only stopped and calmed herself down, looked up, then looked at Feng Manli with extreme seriousness: "But you are the mother of my most beloved person, I will respect you, I hope you understand, I do not wish for him to be harmed like you, and you will not force me, I just want you to understand, your relationship with Jiang Qian will not deteriorate, and will instead bring about severe damage to his reputation. Do you want others to prod your son's spine and curse at him for being an unfilial son?"

Moral kidnapping?

Just say yes or no!

Her starting point was for Zhu Jiangci's good, not her own. As long as he did not get cursed at because of her, she would rather take all the blame herself.

Feng Manli's face alternated between green and white as she looked at her son and Su Qiao An.

"Aunt, she's right." "If Aunt continues to make things difficult for us, there will be rumors circulating very quickly that you two are incompatible, I think Aunt doesn't want to lose face in front of the other rich wives, right?"

Han Qian's words hit the nail on the head and hit the nail right on the head.

Feng Manli coldly snorted, "Don't think that I would approve of you just because you said a few words. Today is New Year's Eve, I'm too lazy to bother with you."

As she spoke, she turned around and walked upstairs.

After Feng Manli left, Han Qian sneered.

Seeing that the two of them were looking at him, Han Qian slightly raised his chin, "Don't look at me like that, I don't have any intention of helping you.

"…"

Su Qiao An was a little confused, as though they did not say anything.

"Are you my former cousin?" Han Qian sized Su Qiao An up from head to toe, "He looks not bad, but he's a little stupid."

As she spoke to herself, the cat in her arms mewled. She lightly stroked the soft fur of the kitten and left without even saying a word.

For a moment, other than the servants waiting at the side of the hall, only Su Qiao An and Zhu Jiangci were left.

Su Yun looked at the people around him, "She …"

"She is Han Qian, I think Xu Shu should have told you before."

She froze for two seconds, a vague impression in her mind.

She had heard that this young miss of the Han family did things without restraint and wouldn't abide by the rules. However, she had only heard of her name and hadn't seen her.

"Don't mind her. She's the same as you, she's just as heartless and kind as you."

"I can see that." She paused and glared at him, pretending to be angry. "Do I look like such a petty person?"

"It doesn't look like it." Zhu Jiangci didn't mind that there were servants in the hall. He reached out his hand and pulled her into his embrace, then lifted his hand to intimately tickle her on the nose, "From now on, you don't have to be wronged. Even if it's me."

It was they who owed Su Qiao An.

Even if Su Yun had come uninvited, after so many years, it was no longer clear who the one who owed the other party was.

Even though Su Qiao An committed a huge mistake, he had already paid them back long ago.

They owed Su Qiao An too much, especially him.

How could he bear to see her suffer because of him?

"Stop putting gold on your face, I'm not doing it for you." Su Qiao An said with mixed feelings, "If we were to quarrel here today, when we head out tomorrow, I would be able to hear other people talking about me. I do not want to be treated as a topic for lunch or tea."

She pulled herself together, put her hand on his chest, and said rather uncomfortably, "Let me go! With so many people watching, you don't even want to show your face, I still want to. "

"Where else?" Zhu Jiangci looked at her in amusement, before lightly pushing her back into his embrace.

Hearing that, Su Yun looked around and saw that the servants who were originally waiting in the hall had all disappeared without a trace.

Her confused expression pleased Zhu Jiangci, who said softly, "We're clearing the hall now, Mrs. Chu, even if we sleep here, no one will see us."
