Chapter 19

Jiang Xiubai wiped his mouth, raised his head and said, “For now, we’ll just take it one step at a time. There’s no need to rush into anything later.”

Upon hearing this, Jia Xiangru jokingly said, “That’s right. You are now Lu Cinian’s wife, Madam Lu’s daughter-in-law. No matter who the Lu family needs, you will always be there for them.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Fangshu and Zhang Ping both laughed out loud.

Jiang Xiubai couldn’t help but slap Jia Xiangru’s arm and said, “What’s the matter? Are you jealous?”

Jia Xiangru curled her lips and said, “Thank you. I don’t like the cold personality of your family.”

Zhu Fangshu nodded in agreement and said, “Yes, I still remember when we met him during military training in college four years ago. He exuded that aura of iron, blood, and gunpowder. Although he was indeed good-looking, no one expected that he would directly scare the girls who confessed to him into tears.”

Zhang Ping said cheerfully, “That’s not a good attitude. I think he’s definitely never been in a relationship. If he really can wake up from his hospital bed, Xiu Bai will be really lucky.”

Jiang Xiubai···

Zhu Fangshu···

Jia Xiangru…

Zhu Fangshu coughed lightly and raised his chin slightly towards Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping reacted to Zhu Fangshu’s actions. She touched the back of her head awkwardly and looked at Jiang Xiubai tentatively.

Jiang Xiubai was a little amused by the actions of the eldest and second eldest brothers.

She had no choice but to say, “Okay, stop teasing me. I’m getting married now, so you guys should get anxious. I’m still looking forward to your wedding banquet.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Fangshu quickly covered his mouth and coughed twice.

Then she noticed that the other three were all looking at her.

Jia Xiangru couldn’t wait to ask, “What’s the matter, Boss? Is there something wrong?”

Zhu Fangshu···

She smiled helplessly and said, “Well, there is one.”

Zhang Ping: “Are you from Beijing? Where do you work? Who are your family members?”

Jia Xiangru: “How many years older than you?”

Zhang Ping: “How much is the salary?”

Jiang Xiubai, who can’t get a word in…

Forget it, she could just watch quietly.

Zhu Fangshu looked at the three curious faces, lowered her head and whispered, “He’s from Beijing. He’s my neighbor’s older brother, two years older than me, and he’s our senior.”

Jia Xiangru: “You, you’re not talking about Song Nanchen from the Physics Department, are you?”

Zhu Fangshu nodded embarrassedly, her ears turning red.

Zhang Ping: “Wow, it’s Senior Nanchen.”

Jiang Xiubai is searching for this person in his memory…

After finding out who it was, Jiang Xiubai was also quite surprised.

Song Nanchen was a student in the first class of 1977, and he left many great achievements in the school.

After completing four years of university, I went straight to the master’s and doctoral programs, and I am still a doctoral student at the school.

However, he followed his mentor to the laboratory early on, and later actually produced two good things that benefited the country and the people.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Fangshu succeeded in getting the man. Jiang Xiubai was quite happy for her.

After all, if we don’t talk about his abilities, just talking about his character, he is also pretty good.

Zhu Fangshu blushed and continued, “He confessed his love to me some time ago, saying that we would get married after he graduated with his doctorate. Now my family has arranged a marriage for us, and he will graduate around the middle of next year.”

Jiang Xiubai and the others immediately laughed at her, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Zhu Fangshu was so upset that she wanted to teach them a lesson.

After laughing and joking for a while, they gathered together and talked about the topic for a while.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jia Xiangru and the others said goodbye and left.

Jiang Xiubai sent the man out of the yard, watched him walk away, then he withdrew his gaze and turned back to the house.

She didn’t go upstairs directly, but walked around first, carefully looking at all the rooms on the first floor with open doors to familiarize herself with them.

After all, this was her first time stepping into this small villa. Besides her, there was also Aunt Zhao, who was cooking. When she saw her, she smiled and nodded, saying, “Hello, Third Madam.”

Jiang Xiubai almost choked on his own saliva…

Third Madam, what the hell.

But she didn’t panic, she nodded and said, “Hello, you must be Aunt Zhao.”

Aunt Zhao didn’t expect the other party to be so easy to talk to, and quickly responded, “Yes, I am here to take care of the old lady. Usually I just help cook and clean the house.”

Jiang Xiubai: “Well, thank you for your hard work.”

Aunt Zhao said hurriedly, “It’s not hard, it’s not hard. This is what I should do.”

Jiang Xiubai smiled and nodded, without saying anything else, turned around and went upstairs.

After dark, Jiang Xiubai waited for a while, but didn’t hear any sign of anyone coming back.

After she yawned several times, she washed up and went straight to bed.

She didn’t even know when Old Mrs. Lu came back, and slept until dawn.

The next day, when Jiang Xiubai woke up, he looked at his watch and it showed six o’clock.

Jiang Xiubai stretched lazily in bed, then stood up and went downstairs yawning.

When I got downstairs and hadn’t even stood firmly, I was hugged.

Before Jiang Xiubai could react, he heard the choked voice of Old Lady Lu in front of him:

“Xiushi Bai girl, you’ve suffered so much. I have a card here. You can spend it as you like.”

After he finished speaking, Jiang Xiubai had a current account passbook with black characters on a yellow background, which was very old-fashioned, stuffed into his hand.

Jiang Xiubai???

She glanced at the passbook in her hand, then at Old Mrs. Lu who had let go and was standing in front of her.

My mind was in a mess and I said, “This, this is not good, right?”

How could she take her future mother-in-law’s coffin book right after getting married?

In the novel, there was no such scene the day after Jiang Yutong got married.

Old Mrs. Lu was amused by her appearance of not yet reacting.

She smiled and said, “Just take it. I have plenty of private money, so I don’t mind this.”

Jiang Xiubai···

Old Mrs. Lu thought about what happened in the cafeteria yesterday and the results of the investigation by her subordinates.

I really felt pity for the girl in front of me.

It’s so pitiful that such a good girl was taken advantage of by her stepmother and sister. She should be nicer to others.

She softened her expression and said, “Are you hungry? Aunt Zhao just made breakfast. Go wash up and have breakfast.”

Jiang Xiubai nodded instinctively and did as he was told.

After washing up, having breakfast and going to the bathroom, she took out the passbook from her pocket and took a look at it.

It’s filled with numbers of all sizes that have been deposited into it.

She immediately saw the last row, which showed ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands.

Wow, it’s over 3,500 yuan.

Her mother-in-law is really rich, Jiang Xiubai thought.

After putting away the passbook, Jiang Xiubai left the bathroom and went upstairs to put it away. Then he returned downstairs and said to Mrs. Lu who was sitting at her seat, “Mom, my things were all taken to Lu Yuhan’s house by car yesterday. My mom’s dowry was also in there. I have to go get it back.”

Old Mrs. Lu, who was sitting on the sofa, had been paying attention to Jiang Xiubai’s actions. When she saw her come forward and call her mother, she was so happy that she was stunned.

Xiubai, Xiubai agreed to marry his son and become his daughter-in-law.

Hearing the latter part, she nodded quickly and said, “Yes, yes, it’s time to get it back. Let’s go, I’m free now, I’ll go with you.”

As she said that, she stood up from the sofa.
