Chapter 974: Chapter 974: March to Question the Fault 1

The people at the door were Li Jun and his mother Ye Qing, and Jiang Xiaoyue was left bewildered and utterly confused by Ye Qing’s scolding.

Her engagement to Li Jun? When did they get engaged? How come she knew nothing about this?

She didn’t have a mother when she was little and was nursed by Ye Qing; her father, brothers, and sister-in-law always taught her to remember this in her heart. She had always been exceedingly respectful to Ye Qing. Living close to the Li Family, she often went to play at their house. She grew up with Li Jun until she turned a teenager, and it was only after she enlisted that they had not seen each other for years. She would select some of the items Feng Qingxue gave her and send them to the Li Family. How could she not care for the Li Family?

"Aunt Ye, I..."

Jiang Xiaoyue couldn’t finish her sentence before Ye Qing interrupted her, "What about you? Are you at a loss for words? Our family has treated you so well, Li Jun has been so caring towards you, how could you be so fickle?"

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Xiaoyue was not without temper and retorted angrily, "Aunt Ye, please clarify your words. Don’t just put the blame on me without any reason. I have never forgotten your kindness. I enlisted when I was fourteen or fifteen years old and only filed my romance report yesterday. What does that have to do with Li Jun? I grew up with him, but he’s not my comrade-in-arms! Who doesn’t know that? Even when I played house as a child, I was the groom!" Not the bride.

She only wanted to be Lu Tianjun’s bride.

The people in the dining room had heard everything, and Lu Tianjun immediately stood up and went to Jiang Xiaoyue’s side, assuming a protective stance.

Seeing Lu Tianjun, Ye Qing glared at them fiercely, her eyes full of rage.

Li Jun, standing next to her, was lean and refined in appearance, his skin pale with glasses on, and his look towards Lu Tianjun and Jiang Xiaoyue was filled with accusation, looking like he was greatly shocked.

"Xiaoyue, you..."

As Lu Tianjun stood up, Jiang Yun gave Mei Ruolan a signal. She walked to the door and interrupted Li Jun’s words in the same way Ye Qing interrupted Jiang Xiaoyue, calling out, "Auntie Ye, if you have something to say, please come in. My father is home and our relatives are here too. Let’s clear the air, so there are no hard feelings left behind."

Ye Qing snorted heavily and strode into the dining room, her fury mounting upon seeing Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue. It soared nearly ten feet high, "Old Jiang, you need to give us an explanation!"

Jiang Yun pointed to the chairs vacated by Lu Tianjun and Jiang Xiaoyue, "Take a seat and talk."

Ye Qing sat down resentfully, followed by Li Jun.

Looking at the spread of dishes on the table, Ye Qing couldn’t help but say, "Old Jiang, it seems you’re living well. I don’t know which honored guests you’re entertaining with such a banquet, not even sticking to the rule of four dishes and a soup."

Jiang Yun had yet to speak when Feng Qingxue, full of apologies, responded, "Sorry, we brought our own rations, and we brought a bit too much."

Only then did Ye Qing turn her attention to Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, noticing their military uniforms. A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes, and she turned to look at Jiang Yun, "Is this your in-law?"

It didn’t seem like it at all, especially Feng Qingxue who looked no older than twenty-something.

Jiang Yun nodded, "That’s right, Comrade Lu Jiang and Comrade Qingxue are Tianjun’s uncle and aunt. Tianjun’s parents died when he was very young, and his grandfather, uncle, and aunt raised him. To us, his uncle and aunt are no different from his parents. Our elders rarely meet, and we were just discussing the lifelong matters of the two kids. Comrade Ye Qing, is there something you needed?"
