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

Jiang's father, regaining his senses, angrily retorted, "Jiang Jinhuan, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Jiang's mother glared angrily at Jiang Jin Huan: "Shut up!"

At this moment, Song Yuanshan looked up and stopped the Jiang couple from making trouble.

Song Yuanshan said, "Jin Huan, tell me, what are your thoughts?"

Jiang Jinhuan glanced at Song Qingci again. Seeing that Song Qingci's expression was not good, but she still did not speak, he knew that he could not count on her. Perhaps she did not want to cancel the marriage without a reason. She might need an excuse.

Thinking of this, he looked away from Song Qingci's face and said, "I don't want my uncle to think that I'm just all talk and no action."

Furthermore, I think we should give Sister Song a chance to get to know me, a chance for us to understand each other. If Sister Song feels it's not suitable, the marriage can be terminated at any time!

Even Jiang Zhe was stunned by these words.

He was overjoyed. The other party had given up such a good opportunity. He really was a fool.

People from the countryside really haven't seen the world.

If it were him, he would never say that. He would try every means to arrange the marriage immediately, knowing that things could change if he waited too long.

The Song family's daughter is the dream of every Jiangcheng resident; delaying even a second would be irresponsible to oneself.

A three-month investigation—what's the difference between that and abandoning the marriage proposal?

According to what he knew from his previous life, Song Qingci was a proud and arrogant woman, and there was no man she could possibly be interested in.

No, there seems to be another white moonlight, but in his previous life he didn't know how Song Qingci viewed that white moonlight.

It seems that the beloved woman from her previous life did not return because her marriage to Song Qingci had already become a reality.

Or perhaps they came back, but you never saw them.

However, no matter what, if they don't arrange a marriage now, the "white moonlight" (the woman who is considered a distant relative) probably won't give up the opportunity. Once that "white moonlight" returns, Jiang Jinhuan will have no chance of arranging a marriage with the Song family.

Jiang's father was taken aback upon hearing this: "Jiang Jinhuan, what nonsense are you spouting?"

He never expected that the Song family was about to agree, yet he was still pushing it away.

Jiang's mother now wished she could slap Jiang Jinhuan again.

Just then, Jiang Zhe suddenly spoke up: "Mom and Dad, I think my brother is right!"

Jiang's parents were taken aback upon hearing this: "Xiao Zhe, why do you think so too?"

Jiang Zhe approached his parents and whispered, "My brother probably knows he comes from the countryside, so some of his lifestyle habits might be different from ours."

"Mom and Dad, you don't want him to offend Uncle Song with some unsavory things, do you?"

This is a blatant slander against Jiang Jin Huan.

Jiang's parents felt sorry for Jiang Zhe and thought that arranging a marriage between Jiang Jinhuan and the Song family right now would upset Jiang Zhe.

Thinking this, the two exchanged a glance. Jiang Guodong looked at Song Yuanshan and said, "In that case, let's do as Jin Huan said. But Mr. Song, do you think our cooperation with the Jiang family can begin now?"

Song's father's eyes were complicated; the Jiang family was clearly using Jiang Jinhuan as a bargaining chip.

However, this method was indeed beneficial to him and his daughter, so he had no reason to refuse it.

Ultimately, he was actually unwilling to form a marriage alliance with the Jiang family.

Upon hearing Jiang Guodong's question, Song Yuanshan replied, "Yes, we can start by cooperating based on the scale of the marriage alliance!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang's father was overjoyed. As long as the benefits were in hand, he didn't care at all whether Jiang Jinhuan could be married into the family.

Only Jiang's mother gave Jiang Jinhuan a deep look and shook her head helplessly, seemingly very disappointed!

Jiang Zhe sneered, "You ruined this opportunity with your own hands. I will never give you another chance for a marriage alliance!"

Song Qingci remained silent, her gaze fixed on Jiang Jinhuan's face, lost in thought.

But in any case, this marriage arrangement has come to an end.

The Jiang family secured the cooperation.

The Song family got a choice; they weren't forced to marry their daughter out of gratitude.

Both parties were happy.

The only one who suffered the greatest loss in the eyes of outsiders was Jiang Jinhuan.

He turned down this once-in-a-millennium opportunity for a marriage alliance.

To everyone else, the so-called three-month probationary period was just an excuse.

This would provide the Song family with a plausible excuse to reject the marriage proposal.

As long as Song Qingci speaks, Jiang Jinhuan will never be able to reach a level that satisfies the Song family.

When that time came, the Song family broke off the engagement, and even Old Master Song, who had always advocated for the marriage alliance, couldn't say anything.

Because this condition was proposed by Jiang Jin Huan himself.

Song Qingci looked at Jiang Jinhuan.

At this moment, Jiang Jinhuan's gaze was not on her. To be precise, during this meeting, Jiang Jinhuan's gaze was on her for no more than half a minute.

Song Qingci felt that the other party didn't care about this marriage at all.

This conclusion has left her feeling somewhat down.

She wanted to ask him why, but when she looked up, she saw that he had already walked out of the private room, and he didn't even stop talking to her.

Doesn't he know why he came in last?

"I'm so angry at this guy," Song Qingci grumbled.

Even she herself didn't realize that Jiang Jinhuan had unknowingly affected her emotions.

Outside the private room.

Jiang Zhe and Jiang Jinhuan stood facing each other.

Jiang Zhe's lips curled into a deep sneer: "Jiang Jinhuan, I never imagined you could be this stupid. But at least you know what's good for you; a lowly woman like you is simply not worthy of Qingci!"

Although he hated Song Qingci intensely in his previous life, she was still his wife in name only.

He also didn't want to see Song Qingci marry someone else.

Especially since this person was Jiang Jinhuan, whom he hated and envied the most.

Jiang Jinhuan stood in front of Jiang Zhe, his eyes still calm and resolute.

He didn't speak, because he was used to it.

At home, no one listened to his opinions, and over time, he naturally stopped actively revealing his thoughts.

The situation remains the same; he shows no intention of speaking in the face of Jiang Zhe's almost insulting words.

Looking at Jiang Jinhuan, who had returned to his previous state, Jiang Zhe's eyes were filled with disdain. "With your abilities, you'll never surpass me in this life. I will trample you into the mud. The only person Mom and Dad can be proud of is me!"

Jiang Jinhuan rubbed the hem of his clothes with his palm. "Brother, I've never thought of competing with you for anything. I don't know why you would say that!"

"Hmph, of course you don't know, because I'm special in this life. I'm the protagonist. What I couldn't get in the last life, I will get in this life, including Song Qingci. Sooner or later, he will see my excellence, and she will submit to me!"

After Jiang Zhe finished speaking, he reached out and patted Jiang Jinhuan's cheek: "I know you don't understand, but you just need to know that you're just a stepping stone for me!"

After Jiang Zhe finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.

Jiang Jinhuan was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction of his father and mother who had just walked out of the private room. His eyes still held longing.

I long for my parents to care about me, even just a simple greeting.
