Chapter 975: Chapter 975: March to Question the Fault 2

The elder pretended not to hear Ye Qing’s accusations toward Jiang Xiaoyue and cut straight to the chase.

"Alright, Old Jiang, since you’ve spoken up, let’s have a good talk!" Ye Qing pointed at Jiang Xiaoyue and Lu Tianjun, who had been standing the whole time due to the absence of chairs, "What’s going on with these two? If someone hadn’t told me about Xiaoyue’s love report yesterday, I would still be in the dark!"

Jiang Yun’s fingers were curled, tapping on the table intermittently.

"Comrade Ye Qing, I’m not quite sure what you mean. Xiaoyue and Tianjun are freely in love, and keeping it low-key before their love report passes the political review is quite normal, isn’t it? It’s not too late to make it public after the review. Of course, they don’t need to announce it to the whole world. When they have their wedding, rest assured, we will definitely invite your family to share in the happiness and thank you for the kindness you showed in the past."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing’s face turned extremely ugly, "Old Jiang, have you forgotten the marriage agreement between our two families? Li Jun has been keeping himself clean, isn’t it because he has been waiting for Xiaoyue to grow up?"

Jiang Yun’s brow furrowed, "The marriage agreement between our two families? I’m not aware of it."

"Xiaoyue and Li Jun when they were kids, you and Old Li made a child’s betrothal over the dinner table, have you forgotten? Have you really forgotten, or do you look down on our Li Family? Turning up your nose at our Li Jun?" Ye Qing suddenly became furious.

"Comrade Ye, hold on! Just wait a moment!" Jiang Yun interrupted her following accusations and after thinking carefully for a while said, "I remember the jest from thirteen years ago. Back then, that’s what you and your husband said, isn’t it? You said, ’Xiaoyue, you’ve drunk my milk, would you like to be a daughter-in-law for our Junjun?’ I’m not wrong, am I?"

Ye Qing nodded, "So you do remember. If you remember it, why aren’t you keeping the promise?"

Jiang Xiaoyue stamped her foot in anger and shouted loudly, "Didn’t I say it at the time? I said, ’Auntie, I drank your milk because I was too young, but when I grow up, I will buy Malt Essence for you to drink!’"

She had been old enough to remember and never forgot her promise, buying Ye Qing some high-quality nutritional products every year.

At that time, she thought Malt Essence was the tastiest thing.

Lu Tianjun held Jiang Xiaoyue’s hand, full of comfort. Compared to the bewildering Li Family, he naturally trusted Jiang Xiaoyue. They had known each other for quite a while, and he was very clear about her character.

With a stern face, Ye Qing scolded, "I’m talking to your father. Why are you, a junior, interrupting?"

Jiang Xiaoyue opened her mouth, but Lu Tianjun patted her hand, so she swallowed her words and angrily watched Ye Qing and Li Jun. There had never been any marriage agreement between the two families, and she was curious to see how the other side would fabricate lies!

Jiang Yun cherished his precious daughter the most, and Ye Qing’s reprimand made him quite unhappy.

"Comrade Ye Qing, let’s stick to the main point."

Ye Qing huffed, "What is there to talk about? You agreed to this match with your own words at the time!"

"I remember clearly, after Xiaoyue said that, your husband responded, ’Yeah, Brother Old Jiang, what do you think of our Li Jun? He’s fit to be your son-in-law, isn’t he?’ Here’s how I replied to Old Li, ’It’s not about being fit or not, we’re not the old feudal society, arranged marriages aren’t the custom now, nor is matchmaking children. It’s better to wait until they grow up and are sure of their own mind, and then they can decide for themselves. If they take a fancy to each other, we become related by our children’s marriage, but if they grow up like brother and sister, with deep sibling affection and no romantic feelings, we can’t force them into an unhappy marriage.’"
