Chapter 980: Chapter 980: Joy of the Third Child 1

Jiang Yun sighed incessantly.

A fine man, all ruined by Chen Chen.

After hearing their conversation, Mei Ruolan asked Feng Qingxue in a soft voice, "Comrade Feng, how did you know about Li Jun pursuing the female soldiers of the Performance Troupe? Was it also a friend from your Performance Troupe who told you?"

If that was the case, it would be somewhat unjustifiable for her not to tell Jiang Xiaoyue, knowing that there was a marriage arrangement in place between the two families.

It wasn’t that Mei Ruolan was being suspicious by nature, but rather because she treated Xiaoyue like her own daughter. Having experienced the situation with the Li Family, she naturally became a bit more cautious.

How intelligent was Feng Qingxue? She saw right through Mei Ruolan’s thoughts at a glance.

"If I had known, even if the Jiang and Li families had a solid arrangement, I would have risked offending the Li family to warn Xiaoyue, lest she be deceived by an unworthy man," Feng Qingxue said straightforwardly. "Today, I was purely testing Li Jun because I didn’t have this information. I just felt that Li Jun, mingling with those children from the big courtyards and taking their behavior for granted, wouldn’t himself be up to any good. The fact proves that my decision was a wise one, leaving the Li family with nothing to say."

Jiang Xiaoyue gave a thumbs up, "Auntie Qingxue, you are as clever as ever. We owe you a lot for today; otherwise, they wouldn’t have left so easily! Dad recounted the agreement from over a decade ago in detail, but they refused to accept it!"

"Xiaoyue, are you upset that I didn’t tell you about this?"

"About what?"

"About the Li Family meddling in your job."

Jiang Xiaoyue laughed, "Auntie Qingxue, how could I be upset with you? You did nothing wrong. Those who are at fault have not even come to apologize, so why should you? You said it yourself, didn’t you? You were planning to discuss it with my dad, but simply forgot to mention it. Your actions were for my sake, and I understand that. I won’t be ungrateful."

She didn’t plan on bringing it up in front of Lu Tianjun, and instead wanted to consult with her own father to prevent future troubles—wasn’t that for her own good?

"Thank you, Xiaoyue, for your generosity. Our Tianjun must have accumulated blessings for several lifetimes to have met you," Feng Qingxue finally put down the stone in her heart and said to Jiang Yun, "Comrade Jiang, it seems that Xiaoyue and Tianjun’s matter has been settled. Tianjun’s father and I can’t stay in the Capital for long, so we’ll have to trouble you to look after the two kids more."

Jiang Yun waved his hand dismissively, "One daughter, half a son—I’m just taking care of my own children, how can that be called trouble?"

Early the next day, before dawn, before he could go to find Li Jun’s father, Li Sheng, just as he stepped out of the door, he was informed by a gossipmonger, "Old Jiang, what exactly is going on between your Xiaoyue and Li Jun? The old Li family has been talking about the marriage agreement for several years, but now Xiaoyue has brought a young man home, and Li Jun went out with his mother to meet a girl from the Su Family today."

Jiang Yun was stunned, "What did you say?"

The other party laughed out loud, "Your Xiaoyue’s love affair has been the talk of the entire courtyard, who doesn’t know about it? Didn’t Comrade Ye Qing from the Li family bring Li Jun to your place yesterday? What happened?"

Jiang Yun replied calmly, "When boys come of age they take wives, and when girls come of age they take husbands—what’s so hard to understand about this?"

"That’s what everyone says, but don’t the two families have a marriage arrangement? Why do you think no one has pursued Xiaoyue for the past two years? Isn’t it because the old Li family adamantly claimed that there was an agreement in place, which deterred many peers? Now that the children are of marrying age, why does it seem like the boy is getting married and the girl is getting married, but to others?"
