Chapter 7
The Eldest Young Master's Gentle Wife (7)
Jiang Zhe stayed at Mother Jiangs courtyard till three o'clock. He coaxed her to take an afternoon nap before leaving with the Li familys brother and sister duo.
As Zhang Ma sent him out, he stopped talking.
Jiang Zhe resumed his previous cold appearance: "What does Zhang Ma want to say?"
Zhang Ma stammered out: "When will Eldest Young Master come over again?"
Jiang Zhe thought for a moment: "I am not busy on the 10th. At noon, I will come back to accompany Mother for lunch."
Zhang Ma was happy. "Good, good. I will let the servants below prepare the food on the 10th."
Jiang Zhe expressed neither approval nor anger.
Then he took the stunned silly brother and sister back to the courtyard where he lived, closing the door before saying, "Previously, there were some words said just to make Mother happy. Younger Brother Ming, please dont mind it."
Li Ming: "Its nothing, brother-in-law does not have to be so polite."
Jiang Zhe: "I transferred your school over; I only hope you will learn what you want to learn. In the future if you wish to help me, I will welcome you. If you have other ambitions, I will also respect you."
Li Ming did not know what to say, his face turning red from excitement, incoherently giving his thanks: "Brother-in-law, thank you. I, I do not know how to repay your kindness."
Jiang Zhe: "Okay. If you really want to repay me, just study hard. If you learn well, Cai Wei will be happy too."
Suddenly named, Li Cai Wei was slightly surprised. Facing her younger brother's suspicious and puzzled gaze, she smiled and nodded: "Yes, learning well is also a way to repay your brother-in-law's careful cultivation."
Li Ming heavily nodded his head: "En."
Jiang Zhe saw that the two people's atmosphere was just right. Originally, he wanted to say that he still had business to finish and leave first, letting Cai Wei guide Li Ming around.
However, seeing the clothes on her body and sweeping his sight over her shoes, he paused thoughtfully for a moment before changing his words: Since Younger Brother Ming is here today, it is better to let things naturally take its course. How about this, I will bring and guide both of you out today."
Li Cai Wei: "The two of you can go, I will-"
Jiang Zhe intercepted her words, Its not good for you to stay at home all the time. You should occasionally go out and take a walk."
He also told Shui Gen: "Go to the clothing shop and tell Father that I will settle everything tomorrow, and that he need not worry."
Shui Gen: "Yes, Eldest Young Master."
Jiang Zhe turned around, holding onto Cai Wei and said to Li Ming: Lets go.
Li Ming: "Ok."
God, brother-in-law really knows how to buy things. His legs had almost stopped working.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the car slowly drove back to the Jiang estate.
Jiang Zhe picked out a few clothes and let Cui Xi send it back to Li Cai Weis room first, before getting people to move the rest of the items in the car into the main hall.
Father Jiang also came back early today. When Jiang Zhe came in, he was just nice in time to have dinner together as a family.
Jiang Zhe also didnt say much, just distributing the presents to everyone. Undoubtedly, Mother Jiang received the most gifts.
She laughed while rebuking him: "The house has all these things, why did you bother wasting the money?"
Jiang Zhe gave a small smile: "What the house has, and what this son has bought, is different. This is your sons thoughtfulness."
Father Jiangs unhappiness towards his sons AWOL also dissipated, and he told Mother Jiang: "Zheer is right, this is our son's thoughtfulness. You should just accept it."
Mother Jiang smiled widely and said: "Good, good, good. I will keep it."
Jiang Zhe brought the Li familys brother and sister to their seats to eat dinner, seemingly unintentionally mentioning, "Thanks to Cai Wei for reminding me today, otherwise I wouldnt even know that Mother's clothes have become outdated. It's just that Im usually busy, and will have some oversights. Therefore, I intend to give her some pocket money. If Mother lacks anything in the future, she can help buy it. However, this son still wants to be a good man. In the future, Cai Wei will buy the gifts and this son will personally give it to Mother. Mother should not blame this son for not being sincere."
Mother Jiang: "This"
Others also looked in confusion at Li Cai Wei.
Jiang Zhe pretended to be ignorant: Whats wrong?
Mother Jiang: Its nothing, just that Mother has always been the one guarding the money at home
Jiang Zhe: If thats so, then never mind. Mother has the money in hand, and can buy whatever she wants to buy, its even more convenient."
Mother Jiang was dumbfounded. The other people were also stunned, they still thought
Didnt expect that Jiang Zhe was really just casually mentioning it.
Mother Jiang was anxious, and waved her hands, laughing: "The ones that Zheer gifts is naturally not the same as the one Mother buys for herself. Since Cai Wei is still the Jiang familys Young Mistress, how could she not have any money on hand, right?
Jiang Zhe swallowed the vegetables in his mouth, nodded naturally.
Mother Jiang sneaked a sigh of relief. Father Jiang looked at him and smiled helplessly.
This stinky boy.
TN: Towards the end of this chapter, it actually says that Jiang Zhe nodded his head disapprovingly. However, it doesnt really make sense in that context so I changed it to naturally.
