A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 201. I only learned to "steal cabbages" at twenty.

Only after he reminded her did Tang Wanwan realize that she was still drinking Chinese medicine.

It's amazing that he still remembers such details.

Her mood was a little complicated.

The two left hand in hand, and the crowd watched their retreating figures, whispering among themselves.

"The Tang family..."

"I've never heard of a Tang family in Beijing..."

"She's not from Beijing, is she? If any family in this circle really had a girl like that, how could they keep it a secret..."

The voice was kept very low, and Tang Wanwan didn't hear it.

She was led into the elegant hall by the person beside her.

The room was bustling with activity, with guests chatting in small groups.

Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of many people.

The air fell silent for a moment.

Jiang Yanzhi seemed not to hear, turned his head to look at the girl beside him, and seeing that she looked natural and not nervous, he took her hand and walked directly to a secluded corner.

Jiang's parents were talking to another couple when they saw them arrive. They stopped talking and looked over.

The couple were in their fifties, but they looked to be under forty.

Her son had given notice early on that he would be bringing his girlfriend to the banquet today. Now that she had met her, Jiang's mother smiled, her well-maintained face revealing a hint of a smile. "I heard her name is Wanwan, right?"

Tang Wanwan responded with a smile and nodded, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."

Jiang Yanzhi then looked at the middle-aged couple opposite her and introduced them: "This is Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu."

Today's protagonists are Gu Yunyi's parents.

Tang Wanwan lowered her fair neck slightly and continued calling for people.

Looking at the two young people's clasped hands, Gu's mother smiled and asked, "Is this Yan Zhi's girlfriend?"

"good,"

Jiang's mother laughed and said, "A few days ago, he went home specifically to tell his father that he was bringing his girlfriend over today, which surprised us."

In our circle, other people's boys, even at sixteen or seventeen, already have girls by their side.

Her son didn't learn to dig for cabbages until he was twenty.

Fortunately, their judgment is good; in terms of appearance alone, this one is better than all the others in the greenhouse.

Once someone has been brought to their parents' presence, it means they are truly committed to a lifelong relationship.

Jiang's parents felt that it was good for him to get married early, so that he could have a fulfilling emotional life and focus wholeheartedly on his career.

Seeing that Jiang's mother readily accepted the identity of her son's 'girlfriend', Gu's mother was somewhat surprised. "I haven't seen her before. I wonder which family's daughter she is."

Jiang's mother had, of course, investigated this matter. She smiled and said, "The Tang family girl from Z City is the granddaughter of the renowned scholar, Master Tang."

The Tang family is very famous in Z City, but they are nothing special in Beijing.

However, when the topic turned to the master of Chinese studies, whose surname was Tang, Mr. and Mrs. Gu immediately realized who he was.

A cultured person.

His gaze toward Tang Wanwan became slightly more serious.

I noticed that her expression remained natural and calm throughout. Even when meeting her boyfriend's parents, especially in such a setting, she showed no signs of nervousness or awkwardness.

His back was straight, his posture elegant, neither humble nor arrogant, and his aura was cool and aloof.

— Quite arrogant.

Especially his straight back, which really gives him the air of a scholar.

A woman from a century-old family of scholars, whose beauty is shaped by literature and art, is indeed a rare find in such a restless modern society.

Moreover, she possesses such unparalleled beauty.

In terms of family background, upbringing, appearance, and even personal demeanor, he is top-notch.

In ancient times, when society valued scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, she would have been qualified to be a royal wife.

Such top-notch genes.

No wonder the Jiang couple immediately accepted their 20-year-old only son when he brought his girlfriend home.

After all, no matter how picky you are, you can't find anything better in every aspect.

A powerful alliance is certainly desirable, but the Jiang family is already extremely wealthy and doesn't need further enhancement. Their son's happiness is more important than anything else. A beautiful daughter-in-law from a scholarly family, bearing several intelligent and beautiful children and raising them well, would also be more beneficial for the family's long-term development.

hiss……

Thinking of this, Gu's mother had already imagined several adorable dolls, and her eyes were filled with envy. "Why doesn't my son bring one home for me?"

This was supposed to be a casual chat between elders, but before Jiang's mother could speak, Jiang Yanzhi, in a state of stress, had already started talking.

He said in a flat tone, "Wanwan is one of a kind; he can't bring her back."

The voice was flat and monotonous, without any inflection.

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Wanwan's smiling lips froze, and she gripped his hand tightly.

Jiang's parents were also slightly taken aback, realizing that their son seemed to be showing signs of being love-struck.

It's understandable that she's a twenty-year-old girl experiencing her first stirrings of love, especially one as talented and beautiful as her.

Jiang's mother chuckled and said, "Why are you suddenly showing off your daughter-in-law? Your Aunt Gu was just joking; nobody cares about you."

So much the better.

Jiang Yanzhi pursed his lips, as if he was about to say something, when Mr. and Mrs. Shen came in from outside.

While exchanging pleasantries with others, Shen's mother was startled when her gaze fell upon Tang Wanwan.

The face was still the same, but the girl who had seemed sickly and weak when she spoke, making one constantly worry that she might die at any moment, was now standing there gracefully.

With fair skin and a beautiful face, she moved with grace and elegance.

There was no trace of his former frailty.

His eyes sparkled with vitality, radiating a vibrant energy from within.

Actually, Shen's mother was quite satisfied with Tang Wanwan.

The only concern was her health.

And now, the last flaw has been fixed.

However, she was already standing next to another boy and had broken up with her son.

Judging from this, it seems they've already reached the point of meeting each other's parents.

...It hasn't been that long.

What will happen to her mentally challenged son?

Mrs. Shen's expression was not good. After greeting Gu Jiang and his wife, she looked Tang Wanwan up and down and said indifferently, "Are you feeling better?"

Tang Wanwan nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I'm much better now."

The response was very composed.

Gu's mother was surprised, "Wanwan is actually acquainted with the Shen family."

“More than just familiar,” Mrs. Shen said with a half-smile, “they would almost have been part of the Shen family. If you count the days, it was only about two months ago.”

The words fell.

There was silence all around.

Since the daughter-in-law was already planning to be accepted, Jiang's parents had naturally investigated these matters long ago. However, upon hearing this, they showed some surprise on their faces.

Jiang's father looked at his son and asked knowingly, "Is that so?"

Jiang Yanzhi hummed in agreement, her expression unchanging. "She had a normal relationship with Shen Xianyu and they broke up normally. Now she likes me, and if she's going to do anything, it will be with us, the Jiang family."

well.

Jiang's mother took Tang Wanwan's hand and praised with a smile, "What a beautiful girl! Who wouldn't like her? It's normal to have a relationship. Don't worry, Auntie isn't that old-fashioned."

Shen's mother's face darkened, and she was about to say something more.

Jiang's father, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up, "Let the younger generation handle their own love affairs."

As long as his son didn't suffer any losses, that's fine.

Don't think he can't see that the Shen family is unhappy that their son's girlfriend is gone.

He could be picky about other girls' health and hesitate to get married early.

As a result, when the other person broke up with him, he felt angry.

　Writing this was exhausting. I haven't taken a single day off in 400,000 words, which is a record for a lazy author like me.
