Chapter 165: Blink If You’re Being Kidnapped
Deng Rui’s gaze swept over the three people who were speaking, and her expression darkened.
She stared at the person who spoke last and asked coldly, “Where did you hear that? Who told you? Do you have any evidence?”
“I’m just asking casually, why are you so agitated?” The person shrank back guiltily.
“Did you even think before asking such a question?” Deng Rui said with a face full of disdain, “How old are you, don’t you know what you can and cannot ask?”
“Don’t go too far, everyone knows your Jiang Yuan is messing around with those men outside!”
“Do you have evidence?” Deng Rui stood up abruptly and pointed at the other person angrily, “Believe it or not, I’ll sue you for slander?”
The person wanted to say more, but was stopped by others.
A fire burned in Deng Rui’s chest, and she took out her phone to send a WeChat message to Jiang Yuan: 【 Maybe you shouldn’t come. 】
She was afraid that these gossip women would say something inappropriate in front of Jiang Yuan later.
Jiang Yuan was driving. By the time she saw Deng Rui’s WeChat message, she was already in the elevator.
She replied, “I’ve arrived,” and while staring at the changing floor numbers, she thought about how to sabotage her cousin’s marriage.
“Ding—”
The elevator door slowly opened.
As Jiang Yuan exited the carriage, she called Deng Rui via WeChat voice message.
“Mom, what’s the room number?”
“1303.”
“Okay, I’m here.”
Deng Rui hurriedly got up to open the door.
After Jiang Yuan entered, she greeted a group of relatives and her gaze landed on the ugly son of her second uncle’s family.
He was the protagonist of today, A Chong.
He was thirty-two years old this year, with an ordinary appearance. He was a high school physics teacher. Because he was arrogant, he always looked down on his blind dates.
Deng Rui had once introduced him to her friend’s daughter, who was an accountant at a small company.
A Chong didn’t fancy her and belittled her completely, which also caused the girl’s mother to become dissatisfied with Deng Rui.
“Jiang Yuan?” A Chong sized her up. “Why did you come dressed like this?”
Jiang Yuan was wearing a dark blue hoodie and sweatpants, with her long hair tied into a high ponytail. She looked younger than the female students in his class.
“What’s the problem?” Jiang Yuan rolled her eyes at him.
A Chong ignored her eye-roll and said with a smile, “Let me introduce you to my fiancée, who will also be your future sister-in-law.”
Jiang Yuan saw him holding hands with a petite girl.
She blinked and asked curiously, “You’re so handsome, why would you be interested in him? Sis, if you’re being kidnapped, blink twice.”
Although A Chong’s fiancée was not tall, her features were delicate, with slightly sunken eye sockets and a high nose bridge, giving her an exotic beauty.
“How can you speak like that?” A Chong was a little unhappy and retorted, “Although my appearance doesn’t match Xi’er, I have talent.”
“Alright, alright.” Jiang Yuan said impatiently, “If you say so, then it is.”
“You…” A Chong glared at her and turned to Gu Xi’er, “Don’t mind my cousin, she has bad character.”
Gu Xi’er perfunctorily nodded, broke free from A Chong’s hand, and said, “I’m a bit tired, I’ll go back to the room to sit for a while.”
A Chong followed her, “I’ll go with you.”
“No need.” Gu Xi’er frowned. “Go entertain your relatives for my parents.”
“Okay.” A Chong left the room and saw Jiang Yuan playing with a cat on the balcony. He walked straight towards her and said in a boastful tone, “This is Xi’er’s cat. She spent twenty thousand yuan on it. You’ve never earned this much money yourself in your life, have you?”
“What does twenty thousand yuan have to do with you?” Jiang Yuan glanced at him with disdain.
She said twenty thousand yuan as if it were twenty million.
“Of course it has something to do with me, Xi’er is my fiancée now.” A Chong said triumphantly.
Jiang Yuan chuckled, then asked seriously, “Tell me the truth, does Xi’er have any dirt on you?”
“You!” A Chong’s face turned green with anger, his gaze flickered, “Do you look down on your cousin this much? You don’t believe Xi’er fell for my talent?”
Jiang Yuan: “Are you PUA-ing yourself or PUA-ing Xi’er?”
“If we can’t talk, we shouldn’t talk at all!” A Chong walked away in anger.
Jiang Yuan rubbed the fluffy head of the Golden Shorthair and said smilingly, “Good kitty, I didn’t expect you to be so valuable. What’s your name?”
“Hehe, meow, my name is Duanwu.” The Golden Shorthair felt that Jiang Yuan smelled nice and was very comfortable.
Jiang Yuan: “My name is Jiang Yuan, you can call me Yuan Yuan.”
“Yuan Yuan.” Duanwu affectionately rubbed her palm. “Meow knows why Xi’er is willing to marry A Chong.”
“You know?” Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of joy appearing on her face. “Can you tell me?”
A Chong sat on the sofa in the living room. He saw Jiang Yuan talking to the Golden Shorthair, his eyes darted, and he said to Deng Rui, “Cousin Deng Rui, Jiang Yuan looks strange, talking to a cat. Is she heartbroken and mentally unstable?”
Deng Rui was angry and spoke without politeness, “She talks to cats and is mentally unstable, so are people who raise cats mentally ill or brain-dead?”
“You…” A Chong was so retorted that he dared not speak out in anger. After all, his future in-laws were present, and he couldn’t leave a bad impression.
“Deng Rui, why are you speaking so sharply?” A Chong’s mother said displeasedly, “A Chong is just concerned about your Jiang Yuan.”
Deng Rui was amused, “Then I am also concerned about you.”
A Chong’s mother: “…”
Jiang Yuan learned a lot from Duanwu. Looking at A Chong’s family in the living room, her eyebrows slightly raised, and her lips gradually curved upward.
So that’s how it is…
It seems that the new mission released by 009 is indeed reasonable.
【 System 009: Miss Jiang, this system is a law-abiding system. 】
Jiang Yuan hugged Duanwu and sat next to Deng Rui.
A Chong’s mother stared at her with a smile, “Jiang Yuan, it’s been a long time. Why aren’t you dressing up anymore? Have you found a partner?”
“Not yet, Auntie.” Jiang Yuan replied carelessly.
A Chong’s mother continued, “Oh dear, you’re twenty-four and still don’t have a partner. Don’t be too picky. When looking for a partner, you have to consider your own conditions. Don’t set your requirements too high!”
“Exactly, girls over twenty-five are considered old maids. Then you’ll just be picked by others!”
“…”
Others chimed in with agreement.
Deng Rui was very speechless and retorted, “Twenty-five is still young, how can that be an old maid? Besides, didn’t A Chong always be picky back then?”
A Chong’s mother sneered, “Can Jiang Yuan compare to our A Chong? A Chong is a high school teacher with a stable job. Jiang Yuan doesn’t even have a job. It’s already a blessing to find a partner, how can she dare to be picky?”
“It’s right for our A Chong to be picky. Speaking of which, I’m so glad we didn’t fancy the accountant you introduced back then. It’s so good that he found Xi’er now, she’s beautiful, a teacher, and sensible…”
A Chong’s mother became happier and happier as she spoke, and more and more proud.
Jiang Yuan nodded with a smile and even cooperated by asking, “I just heard that Xi’er’s family is going to buy them a house and a car outright with cash?”
