Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 248 Meeting the Parents

Ruan Hongzhuang did not shy away from suspicion and walked straight forward, took Shen Siyuan's arm, and introduced him to him.

"This is my mother, Ms. Jiang Yingxue."

"This is Taozi, so I don't need to introduce it."

Jiang Yingxue's gaze rested on Ruan Hongzhuang's hand holding Shen Siyuan's arm, and then she looked away after a moment.

But it was only a moment that forced her to re-evaluate the relationship between Ruan Hongzhuang and Shen Siyuan.

She understands her daughter. Her daughter is an independent and extremely proud woman. In addition, she is very capable, so she has the capital to be proud of.

Given her personality, even if she really meets a boy she likes, she will not be too dependent on him.

Otherwise, when she graduated from university, she would not have relied on her family, but chose to go to Binhai to start her own business. This is exactly what her personality dictates.

But now, she saw something. The moment her daughter saw the boy in front of her, she became extremely obedient.

Yes, she was obedient. She could clearly feel that her daughter, who originally had a strong aura and was unbridled, restrained her temper the moment she saw the other person.

Just like a little wild cat that is showing its teeth and claws outside, it becomes well-behaved and docile when it meets its owner.

But she didn't have time to think about it now, because the other party had already greeted her.

"Hello, Auntie. My name is Shen Siyuan."

Shen Siyuan smiled and extended his hand to Jiang Yingxue.

Jiang Yingxue subconsciously reached out her hand and shook it lightly.

Feeling the other party's powerful hand, Jiang Yingxue suddenly came back to her senses.

"This is wrong. This is very wrong..."

She started doing business with her husband in her twenties, and over the years, she has met all kinds of people.

There are honest farmers, hardworking and numb workers, passionate young people, treacherous colleagues, and even powerful leaders...

And now, she seemed to see in the other person the temperament that only powerful leaders have. His words and actions seemed gentle, but he had an unquestionable aura.

This kind of momentum may sound a bit mysterious, but it does exist. For example, when a powerful person extends his hand to you, your body will react before your brain and take the initiative to shake hands with the other person.

And that was almost the same feeling that Shen Siyuan gave Jiang Yingxue just now.

At this time, Shen Siyuan had already let go of Jiang Yingxue's hand and was greeting Jiang Taozhi.

"Miss Jiang, we meet again."

"Humph~"

Jiang Taozhi was very upset with him and felt that he had taken away her best friend.

Seeing her attitude, Ruan Hongzhuang didn't argue with her, but smiled and said to Shen Siyuan: "Just call her Taozi, she has a childish temper, don't bother with her."

"Who's a kid? Who's a kid?"

Jiang Taozhi was unhappy to hear Ruan Hongzhuang say this about him.

"Look... isn't this..."

Jiang Taozhi was so irritated by her that he was speechless, and finally glared at the two of them angrily.

Jiang Yingxue saw this and took Jiang Taozhi's hand, saying with a smile: "You two, don't bully Taozi."

"Hmph~, Auntie is still the best."

Jiang Taozhi pulled Jiang Yingxue's arm and acted coquettishly, not knowing who was Jiang Yingxue's daughter.

"Sit down and chat slowly." Shen Siyuan invited everyone to sit down.

Ruan Hongzhuang naturally sat next to Shen Siyuan.

Jiang Yingxue didn't say anything when she saw this. After all, there were only four seats. With Jiang Taozhi being added, she couldn't let her sit with Shen Siyuan, right?

After taking a seat and ordering some food, Jiang Yingxue, who had recovered from her shock, began to ask about Shen Siyuan's condition.

"How old is Xiao Shen this year?"

"what do you do?"

"Where is your home? What do your parents do?"

……

Shen Siyuan tells us everything he knows.

But after learning about it, Jiang Yingxue became even more confused.

These two people seem to be living on two completely different parallel lines, with no possibility of interaction with each other. How do they know each other?
"I have to thank Taozi for this." Ruan Hongzhuang answered the question with a smile.

"Thanks, Peach?"

Jiang Yingxue turned her head and looked at Jiang Taozhi who had been quiet beside her.

Jiang Taozhi picked up the cup and gulped down the wine, while glaring at the two people sitting opposite him with displeasure.

"Because Siyuan went on a blind date with Taozi that day, I was a little worried, so I followed him to see..."

"Let me explain it." Shen Siyuan took over the conversation.

"My cousin Taozi and I work in the same company, and we have a good relationship. She said she wanted to introduce me to someone, Taozi. When I went to the appointment that day, I mistook Ruanruan for Taozi..."

Shen Siyuan recounted in detail what happened that day, and Jiang Yingxue felt a strong connection between them.

"However, you are not a kind sister. You have stolen Taozi's boyfriend." Jiang Yingxue said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Taozhi looked at Shen Siyuan and curled her lips and said, "I don't like him." In fact, if it weren't for Ruan Hongzhuang, it wouldn't be certain. When Jiang Taozhi and Shen Siyuan first met, she had a pretty good impression of him.

"This is the fate between me, Siyuan, and Taozi is the matchmaker who brought us together." Ruan Hongzhuang said happily while holding Shen Siyuan's arm.

Jiang Yingxue glanced at her, picked up the cup and took a sip, then slowly said: "But living life can't just rely on fate."

"Mom~"

When Ruan Hongzhuang heard this, she knew what Jiang Yingxue wanted to say. She was about to open her mouth to stop her when she was glared back at by the other party.

Shen Siyuan patted the back of her hand gently to comfort her and told her not to worry.

It seemed that because of Ruan Hongzhuang's tough attitude, Jiang Yingxue didn't say anything else. Instead, she changed the subject and began to talk about some of Ruan Hongzhuang's childhood.

It was fine at the beginning, it’s just that Ruan Hongzhuang was well-behaved and obedient when she was young.

They said that she had been very opinionated and independent since she was young, which rarely caused them to worry.

Talk about the various honors she received when she was in school.

But gradually, Shen Siyuan realized that something was wrong.

She said that when Ruan Hongzhuang was in the third grade of elementary school, they took her to travel to more than 40 countries...

She said she went to a jewelry exhibition and saw a curved leaf diamond crown. Her father spent tens of millions to buy it to make her happy. But she only wore it for one night before it was thrown aside in disgust...

She said she wanted to fly a plane, so her father bought her a helicopter. After she learned how to fly it, it is now gathering dust in a warehouse...

She said she had just gotten her driver's license, and her father gave her a Bentley, but she crashed it after driving it for a day, but luckily she was fine...

……

This was definitely showing off wealth, telling Shen Siyuan the gap between them.

Sure enough, she then changed the subject.

"Xiao Shen, there are some things that Auntie wants to ask you, so I'll tell you directly. Don't be angry. After all, I only have this one daughter, so I definitely want to know more about the situation."

Her voice was still gentle, but it gave people a very strong feeling.

Ruan Hongzhuang wanted to open her mouth to refute when she heard this, but Shen Siyuan held her hands under the table, and she immediately became submissive.

Jiang Taozhi, who was sitting next to him, became excited now. He grabbed a piglet and ate it while waiting for Shen Siyuan to be despised and scolded.

"Auntie, if you have anything to say, just say it." Shen Siyuan said.

"Xiao Shen, do you have any plans for the future?"

“I haven’t thought about it that much yet.”

"Is there a car there?"

"No, I wouldn't open it even if I had."

Jiang Yingxue: ...

With just these two questions, Jiang Yingxue didn't want to continue asking.

A young man who has no plans for the future, is poor and has no ambitions, really has nothing to offer except his looks.

However, she was not angry, but a little happy.

Because such a man is really suitable for Ruan Hongzhuang, her daughter's vision of people is indeed good.

As for why she thought so, it was naturally because their family was not short of money, so she was really a little worried that her daughter would find someone who was incompetent and liked to make trouble, and no matter how big the family business was, it would be ruined.

At the same time, they are also worried that she will find a capable and career-oriented man. In this way, he may become the master and take over her family's property, and their huge family business may end up being used by others.

And someone like Shen Siyuan, who has neither ability nor ambition, is the most suitable marriage partner for Ruan Hongzhuang. As for being poor, it is nothing at all, as their family has no shortage of that.

This is also the reason why many families in Beijing and Shanghai with good family conditions are willing to find a civil servant as their son-in-law nowadays.

So after Jiang Yingxue understood the situation clearly, she was not disappointed, but instead felt more expectant.

However, some basic conditions still need to be mentioned, otherwise their daughter will seem too cheap.

So she asked again: "The house is gone too?"

"This...I really have one. Someone gave me a set recently."

"No house...Huh? What do you mean, I gave you a house as a gift?" Jiang Yingxue even doubted if she had heard it wrongly.

"Correct."

"In the country?"

"No, it's on the coast."

"Suburban resettlement housing?"

"What resettlement housing? It's in Haifeng Community, a large flat with a sea view, worth tens of millions." Ruan Hongzhuang finally couldn't help it and said unhappily.

Jiang Yingxue picked up the cup and took a sip, then asked seriously, "Are you kidding?"

"Do you think I'm joking?" Ruan Hongzhuang glared at her.

Jiang Yingxue was surprised to see that her daughter didn't seem to be joking.

The strange feeling from before resurfaced again.

Jiang Taozhi suddenly felt that the piglet in her hand was no longer fragrant.
