To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

Faced with Jiang Guodong's imposing presence, the anger in Jiang Zhe's eyes gradually faded: "Dad, Mom, I just can't stand it!"

Jiang's father snorted coldly: "Come with me, hmph!"

Jiang Zhe glanced at his mother, then walked out of the storage room.

Jiang's mother didn't leave; she stared blankly at the storage room.

At that moment, the butler approached: "Madam?"

Jiang's mother snapped out of her daze and said to the butler, "Butler, tidy this place up and restore it to its original state..."

The old butler agreed.

Jiang's mother reached the door, then suddenly stopped, turned her head, and said, "Um, there's another bed here!"

The butler paused for a moment, then nodded.

Jiang Zhe had already arranged for someone to throw out the bed that Jiang Jinhuan used to sleep in.

They say it's taking up space.

I didn't expect Madam to care about this.

The butler readily agreed.

Jiang's mother returned to the living room, where Jiang Zhe's angry voice rang out: "What exactly does the Song family mean? Are they trying to embarrass the Jiang family?"

Jiang Guodong rubbed his forehead and said, "I just called the Song family. They didn't admit to it, but they didn't deny it either. Their attitude is very ambiguous right now!"

Jiang Zhe said, "There's no smoke without fire. If it's false, why doesn't she come forward to clarify those messages on the Xingyao Group forum?"

Jiang Guodong fell silent upon hearing this.

Indeed, it seems that Xingyao has never intended to keep this matter a secret.

Song Qingci even seemed to be allowing the news to circulate.

This is simply fueling the fire.

Jiang Guodong frowned; he now had no idea what the Song family was planning.

To be precise, he didn't know what Song Qingci was thinking.

……

Let's not talk about what the Jiang family thinks.

Song Qingci was sitting in Jiang Jinhuan's office, reviewing the documents that Jiang Jinhuan had reviewed.

She watched intently, a strange light in her eyes.

Then she gently closed the file and looked at Jiang Jinhuan, who had been standing beside her for a while.

"I'm off work, let's go out for dinner!"

Jiang Jin Huan said, "Dinner? Well, Mr. Song, I..."

"Stop dawdling, I need to talk to you!"

As he spoke, he took out his car keys and tossed them to Jiang Jinhuan.

Upon arriving at a restaurant, in a small private room, Song Qingci asked, "How's your consideration of the matter I asked you to consider?"

Jiang Jinhuan frowned.

Song Qingci said, "You know the situation now. Even if you tell people outside that you and I have no relationship, no one will believe you!"

Jiang Jin Huan said, "The innocent are innocent; I will explain this matter!"

"Heh, haven't you explained enough? Who believed you?"

Jiang Jinhuan sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

Song Qingci said, "I didn't clarify this matter at the beginning because if there's a first time for this kind of rumor, there will be a second time, and I can't spend my energy on it every time."

So I need your help. Let's get married. Once we're married, my family won't pressure me to get married anymore, other people won't have any ulterior motives, and the company will be stable!

Jiang Jin Huan said, "Marriage? That won't do!"

Jiang Jinhuan shook his head and refused, "I will not become a live-in son-in-law!"

Song Qingci was taken aback; she seemed not to have expected Jiang Jinhuan to focus on this.

She suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Who said you were going to be a live-in son-in-law? I was talking about a fake marriage! Besides, even if it were a real marriage, you don't have to be a live-in son-in-law!"

Jiang Jinhuan shook his head again: "No, President Song, I already have someone I like, I won't agree to this!"

Song Qingci's hand froze on the spot: "What, what did you say?"

Jiang Jin Huan said, "I said, I have someone I like!"

Song Qingci's face turned pale at first, then she smiled slightly and said, "Jiang Jinhuan, you don't need to lie to me. I know very well whether you have a girlfriend or not."

Don't forget you said you'd give us a three-month deadline. You're not going to go back on your word, are you?

Finally, Song Qingci stood up, leaned on the table, and looked down at Jiang Jinhuan sitting opposite her.

When Jiang Jinhuan looked up, he saw towering mountain peaks.

The magnificent scene is breathtaking.

He was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Okay, since there's no going back on your word, let's do it this way. We still have time, so let's go get our marriage certificate now!"

Jiang Jinhuan was somewhat stunned. "What? That's how it's done?"

"Jin Huan, you said the three-month assessment period, and I'm very satisfied now. If you want to back out, that's fine too. The cooperation between my Song family and the Jiang family can be completely terminated now, and I will take back all the funds and withdraw them!"

Jiang Jinhuan froze for a moment: "But I'm no longer a member of the Jiang family!"

"Do you dare say you're not Old Master Jiang's grandson?"

Jiang Jin Huan shut his mouth.

"What? You want to see the Jiang family destroyed in your hands? If your grandfather knew this in the afterlife, he'd probably be furious enough to die again!"

Jiang Jin Huan remained silent.

The old man of the Jiang family was, in fact, his maternal grandfather.

After all, Jiang's father had married into the family.

Jiang Jinhuan hadn't met his maternal grandfather many times, but unlike his father, he hadn't.

The old man treated him quite well; he received gifts and lucky money during holidays.

Although it wasn't much, it was the old man's heartfelt gift.

Now that Song Qingci is using the old man to pressure him, he doesn't know how to feel, but he always feels that the Jiang family shouldn't be ruined because of him, after all, it is the old man's hard work.

However, Jiang Jin Huan looked up and declared, "I will not be a son-in-law!"

"Who said I was making you a live-in son-in-law? I'm just getting a marriage certificate with you for two years, after which it will automatically expire! Even if it doesn't expire, the child will take your surname! What I mean is, I'm not making you a live-in son-in-law this time!"

Jiang Jinhuan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I agree!"

Two years is enough time for him to develop his own business and buy a car and a house. By then, his marriage with Song Qingci will be dissolved, giving the Jiang family enough time to grow.

After his marriage ended and he graduated and settled down, he proposed to Sister Qingyi.

"However, this matter must be explained to Sister Qingyi!" Jiang Jinhuan thought to himself.

Jiang Jinhuan and Song Qingci obtained their marriage certificate just before the civil affairs department closed.

Looking at the red booklet in his hand, he was somewhat dazed.

Song Qingci, on the other hand, looked at the marriage certificate again and again, and even gently stroked it with her hand.

Then he carefully placed it in his handbag.

Then she saw the marriage certificate in Jiang Jinhuan's hand and snatched it away, saying, "I'll keep this certificate in case you change your mind and refuse to get a divorce!"

Jiang Jinhuan was somewhat taken aback: "Absolutely not!"

Song Qingci said, "Alright, I won't make a big fuss about this. After all, you're still working at Xingyao, and I won't let anyone in the company know."

I'll only let a few people in my family know, so it'll be easier for us to get a divorce later!

Jiang Jinhuan breathed a sigh of relief. This was a good suggestion; that was what he had been thinking too.

"good!"
