Jiang family.

On the sofa in the living room, Madam Jiang flipped through a stack of photos, muttering to herself, "The Zhao family's daughter has such a wonderful temperament. The second daughter of the Wen family is also very pretty. And the Wang family's daughter, who just graduated with a master's degree from Kyoto University, has a scholarly air. I like her too."

The old lady raised her head and looked at Jiang Shixu with a smile. "Shixu, take a look at these photos. Which one do you like?"

Jiang Shixu's eyes were dark and he looked absent-minded.

I just looked at Tangtang for a moment in the garden. Her face looked very bad and her lips were pale. Is she sick?

"Time sequence." Madam Jiang raised her voice, and the smile on her face faded. "Grandma is talking to you, what are you daydreaming about?"

Jiang Shixu pulled his thoughts back and looked over. "What?"

Madam Jiang put down the photo, looking somewhat unhappy. She gathered her silk shawl and said slowly, "Ms. Wang Shu from the Wang family just graduated with a master's degree. I just met her a few days ago. She has a gentle personality and is very beautiful. The day after tomorrow, you and your mother should go to the Wang family to pay New Year's greetings. You should spend more time with Wang Shu."

Jiang Shixu sat on the sofa, his eyes dark, "I'm busy."

Madam Jiang was unhappy and glared at him with a frown, "You're still not free during the New Year?"

"You've been busy all year, give yourself a few days off for the New Year. Be obedient and go visit the Wang family with your mother."

When Xu Jingxuan heard that this meant a blind date, she felt very uncomfortable.

After finally getting rid of Ruan Chutang, grandma is so anxious to arrange a blind date for my brother?

It’s only been a few days since you broke off the engagement with the Ruan family?

Xu Jingxuan held the old lady's arm affectionately and said in a soft voice, "Grandma, you let my brother get in touch with Sister Wang right after he broke off his engagement with the Ruan family. If word gets out, people will gossip about him behind our backs."

Li Lanxi echoed, "Yes, yes, Grandma Jiang, it's not like no one wants my cousin. Which of those famous ladies in Jiangcheng doesn't want to marry my cousin? Don't worry about it."

Madam Jiang glanced at Jiang Shixu with displeasure in her eyes, "I'm not afraid that no one wants him, I'm just afraid that he's still thinking about someone he shouldn't be thinking about."

Li Lanxi twisted his mouth and glanced at Old Madam Jiang and then at Jiang Shixu.

Oh my goodness, it turns out that the old lady of the Jiang family doesn’t approve of my cousin and sister-in-law being together?

That shouldn't be the case. My sister-in-law has such a good family background, she's beautiful and has a perfect personality. What could the old lady be dissatisfied with?

Jiang Shixu's lips tightened, "Grandma, I'm going to the study to see Grandpa."

After saying that, Jiang Shixu stood up.

"Wait, you should pay attention to what I say. Stop trying to escape. You've already broken off your engagement with the Ruan family. Stop thinking about that girl from the Ruan family. Which girl from the Wang or Zhao family can't compare to her?"

Jiang Shixu stopped and turned back, his eyes dark and dark, his lips curled up in a nonchalant manner, "If you like, marry them all. I don't want any of them anyway."

Li Lanxi secretly gave a thumbs up and looked approvingly.

As expected of my brother, he's really brave.

Madam Jiang was furious, her expression stiff. "Listen to what you're saying! You never spoke to your elders like that before. Why are you acting so unconventionally now?"

Jiang Shixu's tone was filled with an indignant, almost infuriating nonchalance. "Grandma, I advise you to worry less about me. You have a weak heart, so you should worry more about yourself."

Madam Jiang was so angry that her chest heaved and her breathing became uneven.

"Shixu, you've never contradicted Grandma like this before. Did that Ruan Chutang say something to sow discord in front of you again? I've noticed that whenever Ruan Chutang is mentioned, you become a completely different person."

Jiang Shixu sneered, a hint of loneliness flashing across his eyes. "Sowing discord? You're overthinking it. I haven't spoken to her in a long time."

Madam Jiang said in a tone that brooked no argument: "Then just go on the blind date honestly."

Jiang Shixu turned around, walked upstairs, and slowly uttered two words: "No."

"You are becoming more and more outrageous!" Old Madam Jiang shouted at Jiang Shixu's back.

Xu Jingxuan stroked the old lady's back to calm her down, "Grandma, please don't be angry."

The old lady calmed down her breath and said unhappily, "Xuanxuan, look at what your brother is saying now. He's not being serious when talking to me. He was never like this before."

Xu Jingxuan said teasingly, "Yeah, ever since he got together with Ruan Chutang, my brother has become a different person. He never spoke to Grandma like that before. It must be Ruan Chutang who instigated this."

Madam Jiang asked, "Do you also think it's Ruan Chutang's fault?"

"Yes, grandma. Every time you mention Brother Ruan Chutang, your temperament changes drastically. I can't think of any other reason except that Ruan Chutang is trying to sow discord between you and Brother."

"You can't say that, Sister Jingxuan." Li Lanxi said slowly while cracking melon seeds, "When my cousin and my sister-in-law were together, did you hear my sister-in-law trying to sow discord between them while you were lying under their bed?"

Xu Jingxuan turned to look at Li Lanxi with an unpleasant expression, "That's not the case, but..."

Li Lanxi didn't wait for her to finish and continued to ask, "Did your sister-in-law whisper something to sow discord in your ear?"

Xu Jingxuan's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "No."

"Oh." Li Lanxi said with a smile, "That's really strange. You didn't hear it yourself, but you said your sister-in-law was the one sowing discord. I think you are the one sowing discord, right?"

Li Lanxi is the daughter of the Li family, a real wealthy socialite, and a top female star. Outsiders are afraid of the Jiang family's power and are polite to the Jiang family's adopted daughter, but she is not afraid.

Who the hell is Xu Jingxuan? She never takes her seriously.

Li Lanxi has disliked Xu Jingxuan since childhood, always feeling that she is a bit strange. When she was seventeen or eighteen years old and in adolescence, Xu Jingxuan always did some small tricks to try to attract Jiang Shixu's attention.

Boys are carefree, and Jiang Shixu didn't think there was anything wrong at that time, but Li Lanxi could always see through Xu Jingxuan's little tricks. Li Lanxi labeled Xu Jingxuan a green tea girl a long time ago.

Now it turns out that this label was not wrong.

Xu Jingxuan is indeed a master of tea art.

Li Lanxi's words were full of hostility. Xu Jingxuan could no longer pretend and glared at Li Lanxi, demanding, "What do you mean?"

Li Lanxi smiled and replied, "Literally, sister."

Xu Jingxuan was about to explode when she suddenly remembered that the old lady was still sitting next to her. She immediately changed her expression, pretending to be pitiful, and asked in a soft voice, "Cousin, do you have any objections to me?"

"Yeah, you're so blind you can't even see that." Li Lanxi rolled her eyes. "I hate green tea the most."

"Cousin, have I offended you in any way? Why are you so hostile to me?"

Li Lanxi smiled and said, "Not only is he blind, he's also deaf."

Li Lanxi raised his voice and spoke word by word, "I say, I hate green tea the most!"

After saying that, Li Lanxi smiled brightly and said in a deliberately low voice, "Did you hear clearly, sister?"
