Jiang Xun calmly pulled Ling Chen's new number into the blacklist and looked at herself in the mirror. Although the diamond necklace on her neck was simple in style, it was exquisitely designed and perfectly brought out her fair skin and beautiful collarbone.

Rather satisfied, she said to the saleswoman. "Wrap this up, I'll take it."

This necklace was worth more than two hundred thousand yuan, yet Jiang Xun didn't even blink her eyes when purchasing it after only trying it on for less than a minute. The saleswoman could be considered a veteran worker who has seen many big customers, however she was still a little surprised. Based on what she overheard she said on the phone just now, she couldn't help but speculate which wealthy tycoon kept her.

How unfortunate. From her appearance, this beautiful girl still appears to be a college student.

The saleswoman lamented as she helped her undo the necklace, her gaze filled with a little pity.

Jiang Xun's cell phone rang again. Seeing it was Ling Kong Leng calling, she answered with a smile, "You're here?"

"Then come in, help me choose. I don't know which ring to buy."

The saleswoman couldn't resist glancing at the door. Was her sugar daddy coming in?

Jiang Xun lowered her head and continued to check out the other styles of bracelets, but found there was no other necklace that she particularly liked. So she went to take a look at the display on the other side.

A few minutes later, Ling Kong Leng pushed open the door. With his impassive face, handsome features and elegant outfit, everyone's eyes involuntarily followed him.

When the saleswoman glanced at him and then at Jiang Xun, her gaze had changed.

The saleswoman, who was just feeling sad for her, was overwhelmed. Watching the two in surprise, a storm brewed internally.

This was the sugar daddy? You sure this isn't a little wolf dog or a little white face? However, the man does seem to be older than this girl.

No wonder this girl was willing to be a stepmother. If it were her, let alone a stepmother, she was even willing to become the step grandma!

Ling Kong Leng didn't look at anything or anyone else besides Jiang Xun, "So, did any catch your eye?"

Jiang Xun looked back at him, "You arrived. For the time being, I only saw one. Come and help me pick out some more."

Ling Kong Leng walked to her side and lowered his gaze to scan them. Since he had no idea about these things, he said lightly. "Just wrap it all up, you can go back and slowly sort through them."

"That's not how you buy jewelry. Plus, these aren't cheap." Jiang Xun glared at him angrily.

Ling Kong Leng nonchalantly responded, "They are pretty cheap. If you want, you can buy them all."

"Enough, I'll just pick them out myself." Jiang Xun shook her head, "Just help me see if it looks good."

"En."

"Ling Chen called just now, saying that he's sick at the hospital. Do you want to visit him?" Jiang Xun asked.

"If he can still call you, then he's fine." Ling Kong Leng replied.

"Alrighty."

Ling Kong Leng probed, "What else did he say?"

"Nothing." Jiang Xun's gaze dodged him.

Ling Kong Leng narrowed his eyes coldly as he took out his phone to send a message to Secretary Lin.

[Freeze all of Ling Chen's cards. ]

After sending the message, he said to Jiang Xun. "If he bothers you again, just ignore him."

"Oh." Jiang Xun nodded and then continued ,"Before I came here, I called my parents and set the meeting to tomorrow afternoon. Are you going to bring Ling Chen there?"

"What would he do there?" Ling Kong Leng had no such plan.

"You should bring him. Since the entire family's gathering for the meal and my parents have already met him before, it'll be better to explain everything in this meeting to prevent any problems from popping up later."

"Do whatever you want." Feeling what she said was reasonable, Ling Kong Leng didn't object.

...

When Jiang Xun told Mother and Father Jiang she was about to get married, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were dumbfounded. They didn't believe their older daughter, who had always been sensible and obedient, would suddenly flash marriage.

That night, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang couldn't fall asleep. Thinking about it was because of their younger daughter's naive actions that their older daughter didn't return home for so many days, did they feel maybe they did neglect their older daughter too much, which is why this happened.

"Say, is Xiao Xun disappointed in us? She didn't even discuss such a big matter with us." Mother Jiang lay on the bed, tossing and turning.

Father Jiang was silent for a long time, "And she didn't say who she was married to on the phone. This child, aiyaa!"

"By now the knot is already tied and finalized, it's not like we can have her divorce him?" Mother Jiang sighed in worry, "I regret our negligence now. It's all because we are too used to siding with Ya Ya that made her what she is now and ruined both children."

"Ling Chen also hasn't been here for a while too." Father Jiang stated gravely.

"Didn't Xiao Xun say she broke up with him? Why would he come?" Recalling Ling Chen, Mother Jiang felt a little pity, "Ling Chen is a good boy, sigh."

"What about Ya Ya? He and Ya Ya..." Father Jiang trailed off.

Mother Jiang understood what he meant and sighed again, "No, when Ya Ya came back today, she was even in tears, saying that Ling Chen hated her and didn't even want to see her. Ya Ya still blames Xiao Xun for that. Look at these two sisters... aii..."

Having lost Ling Chen, this great son-in-law, Father Jiang's mood became exceptionally heavy. After thinking it over, he angrily announced. "When we meet tomorrow, if the one Xiao Xun found isn't as good as Ling Chen, I'll force them to divorce."

"How can you say that? Don't you know there aren't many that can compare to Ling Chen? So you are just determined to have your daughter divorce!" Mother Jiang expressed anxiously.

"At worst, I'll wager this old face and ask Ling Chen what he thinks."

"What about Ya Ya?"

"She caused all these messes. What else does she want to do? You said it yourself, Ling Chen doesn't think of her that way. If that day she didn't say Ling Chen also liked her, would we have believed her and let Xiao Xun run out?" Father Jiang's tone became increasingly heavier. He was obviously getting ticked off.

"Aiyaa..." Mother Jiang shook her head, "Let's sleep, we can talk about it tomorrow."

...

The next day, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang told Jiang Ya about meeting Jiang Xun's husband.

Jiang Yaru was thunderstruck. It took a while until she was able to respond, "Elder Sister is married?"

"Eh." Mother Jiang sighed once more, "We also only found out yesterday over the telephone."

"When did this happen? With whom? It's not with Ling Chen, right!?" Jiang Ya asked tentatively.

"No." When Father Jiang looked at Jiang Ya, he couldn't help feeling disgruntled. "You still have the face to ask? If it weren't for you, could your sister have suddenly married someone else?"

"Dad, you don't blame Elder Sister marrying without telling you. Yet you're here, scolding me for nothing!" Although Jiang Ya was annoyed by Father Jiang's attitude, but thinking how her sister was married and couldn't possibly marry Ling Chen, her hope was ignited again.

Since Ling Chen can't be with her sister anymore, as long as she persists, Ling Chen will definitely be moved by her sincerity.

"Enough, there's no use in scolding Ya Ya. This matter is already like this, no point for us to quarrel. It's almost time, let's just get ready to head over to the hotel soon." Mother Jiang stood up and mediated the tense situation.

"Mom, do you know who Elder Sister married?" Jiang Ya asked out of curiosity.

"I don't know, your sister didn't tell us. She only said we're meeting today to discuss the wedding details, but they have already gotten their marriage certificate, aiyaa..." Mother Jiang got a headache after thinking about it. She was really worried that Jiang Xun had married the wrong person and would regret it forever. .

"Ah? You guys don't even know who she married." Jiang Ya's eyes widened in surprise.

"Stop talking, we'll know once we go to the hotel." Father Jiang cut in impatiently. He has already settled it, he's going to force Jiang Xun to divorce the guy when he sees Jiang Xun later. He definitely can't let her be this self-willed and ruin the rest of her life.

Jiang Ya said, "I'm going to change."

She ran to her room and took out her phone to call Ling Chen, trying to tell him about it, but she couldn't get through. Jiang Ya gritted her teeth. She could only put down the phone and open the closet to choose the best outfit first.

...

An hour later, the Jiang parents and Jiang Ya arrived at the hotel Jiang Xun described and entered the private room that had been reserved beforehand.

"Elder Sister got a reservation here? This hotel is the best five-star hotel under the Ling Yuan Group." Jiang Ya uttered in a strange tone, "She's already married now, so why did she book Ling Chen's family's hotel?"

Both Father Jiang and Mother Jiang also felt it was strange, but Father Jiang still lectured Jiang Ya, "You're thinking too much."

Jiang Ya's face darkened, "Dad, what happened to you today? You keep scolding me."

Father Jiang paused. Although he used to be strict, he indeed rarely raised his voice at Jiang Ya.

He had always pampered Jiang Ya since she was born and never scolded her. On the other hand, Jiang Xun has always been obedient and sensible, so he and Mother Jiang held greater expectations of Jiang Xun as well as being more stern. While Jiang Ya fell short of his expectations, she had a sweet mouth and touchy, so they unconsciously biased towards her.

If this hadn't happened, they might have kept being biased like this forever, while Jiang Ya would also regard them siding with her as natural.

Thinking of this, Father Jiang felt more and more that Jiang Xun was punishing their favoritism by using her mistake marriage.

With a heavy heart, his gaze on Jiang Ya's eyes turned complicated.

Jiang Ya was flustered by his stare.

Father Jiang said with an ugly expression, "If your sister has a bad life, it's all caused by you."

"Caused by me? How did I harm her? It's not like she agreed to hand Ling Chen over to me either. I'm the one being wronged. Mom, look at Dad, how could he say that!" Jiang Ya's eyes reddened as her mouth puffed up in dissatisfaction.

"Don't say anything else, your dad is just worried about your sister, aiyaa..." Mother Jiang also didn't comfort Jiang Ya. She was worried, mainly because she regretted that she cared too little for her eldest daughter. Mother Jiang felt that she was perfect and wouldn't do anything stupid. Who knew it would end up like this?

If Jiang Xun knew what they were thinking, she would probably scorn them. In the original plot, the original owner left her hometown because of their betrayal and died alone. Wasn't that a hundred times worse than marrying the wrong person?

Each person in the group entered the private room with their own thoughts and sat down. Jiang Xun hasn't come yet, but there were six sets of tableware set out on the table. It seems that there's going to be six people.

Once they came in, they all fell silent and were a little nervous. When they heard the door opening, the three of them locked eyes before simultaneously glancing at the door.

"Ling Chen!?"

"Ling Chen ge ge, why are you here?"

The three of them didn't expect the one entering the door to be Ling Chen, causing their eyes to widen in disbelief.

"You're the one that married Xiao Xun?" Father Jiang asked excitedly.

The author has something to say:

Ah, it's time for the small theater again. Every time, I always have to rack my brains...

Small Theater:

Jiang Xun: Dad, Mom, let me introduce you guys. This is my husband and this is my

husband's son.

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang: ... (Dumbstruck)

Jiang Xun: Ya Ya, come. From now on, you can't call him Ling Chen ge ge. You've to address

him as Nephew.

—--

Ling Chen: I really do love you

Jiang Xun: Well, mom loves you too.
