Chapter 972: Chapter 0972: Meeting the In-Laws 5

Whether it’s considered important or not is fully reflected in this aspect.

No matter the value of the gift, families who respect the woman would spare no effort in preparing the tea ceremony gifts. Like the Lu Family now, without any excuses, they have prepared the full set. In contrast, those who are wealthy but do not hold the woman in high regard would excuse themselves by saying that current customs do not necessitate preparing too many gifts. Those without money would proudly claim they can’t afford it and so on.

The Jiang Family lived in the military compound, truly having seen all sorts of things. There were indeed families who had parted ways over such matters.

Therefore, the frustration in Jiang Yun’s heart dissipated greatly in an instant.

Looking again at Lu Tianjun in his military uniform, handsome and upright, a perfect blend of toughness and scholarly grace, it was impossible to find a second person in the compound who could match his caliber, and some of that remaining frustration faded away.

"Do you fancy my daughter because her father is one of the military commanders of the military region?" Jiang Yun suddenly asked.

Jiang Xiaoyue, upon hearing this, immediately sweated for her comrade-in-arms, but when she looked toward Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, she saw the couple, who in her eyes were flawless, smiling calmly and without worry.

Jiang Zhou and Mei Ruolan were invigorated, their bright eyes eagerly awaiting Lu Tianjun’s response.

If his answer wasn’t satisfactory, hmph!

The couple, who were well into their forties, shared the same thoughts as Jiang Yun.

Lu Tianjun countered without answering, "Do you really have so little confidence in your own daughter?"

"Ah?" Jiang Yun, a straightforward man not renowned for his scholarly pursuits, didn’t immediately grasp the meaning of Lu Tianjun’s words, his mind muddled. What did his question have to do with confidence in his own daughter?

Lu Tianjun grinned, replying respectfully, "You must lack confidence in Xiaoyue to think your position attracts more coveting. No worries, in the future, I will make you realize that Xiaoyue herself is a hundredfold, a thousandfold more important than your position. Then, you will no longer underestimate her excellence."

Jiang Yun finally caught on and glared at him, unsure of what to say, and decided not to speak with him any longer. He turned to Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, "How did your family raise such children? Each one as sharp as the next."

Xibao was like that, with a honeyed tongue, and so was this guy.

Lu Jiang chuckled, "The same as everyone, no different. Otherwise, how would you have raised such an excellent daughter like Xiaoyue?"

Since the relationship between Jiang Xiaoyue and Lu Tianjun as comrades-in-arms was established, as elders, he omitted the term ’comrade’.

Jiang Yun laughed heartily, delighting in others praising his daughter, "Too kind, too kind. This girl of mine is a bit rough around the edges, not too serious about her studies, has no talent for artistic performances, and now she’s the same with studying medicine. It’s your concern from now on."

"Dad, listen to how you belittle me, am I that bad?" Jiang Xiaoyue stomped her foot, fortunate that it was Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue who came.

Jiang Yun glanced at her, "Aren’t you aware of your own abilities? During a meeting with the in-laws, we must speak the plain truth. If your dad were to boast about you excessively, and later you don’t live up to it, wouldn’t they come to me with complaints?"

"No, no!" Lu Tianjun quickly interjected, "Xiaoyue is very good, exceptionally good."

He liked Jiang Xiaoyue just the way she was, not as the outstanding person others made her out to be.

What did it matter to him if others were Heavenly Immortals?
