Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Defending

"You, you, you..." Aunt Jiang pointed her finger at Wan Chu’er, trembling from anger.

She did not expect Wan Chu’er to be so difficult to deal with. She knew before that Jiang Kechu had a girlfriend, and that the whole Jiang Family had met her, yet her own family had been deliberately left out, which infuriated her at the time.

She felt that her sister-in-law was being too extreme; after all, she had been jumping through hoops to arrange matches for Jiang Kechu, yet he had a girlfriend and did not even inform her—she heard it through the grapevine from Third’s family.

What good words can come from the mouth of Third’s family? They subtly ridiculed her.

At that moment, she wanted to call and confront her sister-in-law, but her daughter Lin Jiayi stopped her. Jiayi said she would meet Wan Chu’er first to see what extraordinary qualities Wan Chu’er had that allowed her to snatch the match in the middle.

Aunt Jiang had originally made a fine plan, considering that among her generation in the Jiang Family, Jiang Kechu was the most promising. She had intended to introduce a nice girl to her nephew, to earn favors on both sides.

Moreover, the girls she favored came from wealthy and influential families, which would bring many conveniences if a marriage were arranged.

But this convenience was abruptly ruined by the emergence of Wan Chu’er, so from the beginning she was full of hostility towards Wan Chu’er, not to mention that her daughter ended up in the hospital with a mild concussion.

Therefore, she urged her sister-in-law to call Wan Chu’er over. She had it all planned to give Wan Chu’er a tough lesson right away, but instead, she ended up being the one infuriated.

Aunt Jiang glared at Wan Chu’er several times without saying much, then she suddenly turned and rushed towards her sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, look, look, this isn’t about finding a daughter-in-law; it’s like looking for an enemy!

She asks one question, and Wan Chu’er could respond with a plethora, twisting right and wrong, spouting nonsense. Jiayi, who you watched growing up, such a well-mannered person, yet she was injured to the point of concussion by her and now can’t even get out of bed.

Such a glib one, showing not the slightest respect to elders, clearly lacking in upbringing.

Sister-in-law, Kechu is the eldest son and grandson of our Jiang Family. You may not worry about Kechu, but as an aunt, I do. If we really bring such a shrew into the Jiang Family, we can forget about happy days ahead.

I need to have a serious talk with mom and dad; such a woman cannot be a part of our Jiang Family, Kechu deserves better."

Aunt Jiang said all this in one breath, as if the entire reason lay with her, seemingly advocating earnestly for Jiang Kechu, yet Mrs. Jiang looked as though she was harming him.

After finishing her words, she did not look at Wan Chu’er, acting as if ignoring Wan Chu’er would maintain her own level of class.

Although every word disparaged Wan Chu’er, Wan Chu’er was not angered at all, instead, she smirked sarcastically.

Despite Aunt Jiang’s righteous talk, appearing to act for the best interest of the Jiang Family, she was the most power-hungry, despising the poor and loving the rich, always currying favor with the powerful.

If Aunt Jiang knew who her maternal grandfather was, she certainly would have shown another face.

She no longer spoke, because naturally Jiang Kechu, Mrs. Jiang, and Jiang Xiaoxiao would speak for her.

Sure enough, after hearing Wan Chu’er and Aunt Jiang’s conversation, the expressions on Jiang Kechu and his family were quite unpleasant. Mrs. Jiang might still be controlling her emotions because Aunt Jiang is her sister-in-law, but Jiang Kechu didn’t hold back at all.

Jiang Kechu stood beside Wan Chu’er, reached out to pull her behind him, his expression was cold, and the air around him was extremely oppressive, making people involuntarily shudder.

Wan Chu’er obediently stood next to Jiang Kechu, affectionately wrapped her arm around his, and then provocatively smiled at Aunt Jiang.

Aunt Jiang was frightened by Jiang Kechu’s attitude, feeling somewhat hairy inside. Seeing Wan Chu’er so arrogant, she frowned deeply, just about to glare, then she caught Jiang Kechu’s icy gaze and couldn’t help but step back.

Jiang Kechu emotionlessly said to Aunt Jiang: "Wan Chu’er is my girlfriend, the person I plan to marry and spend my life with, so you need not bother yourself. She never twists her words or speaks nonsense, she’s not someone to be manipulated. Lin Jiayi’s injury was completely deserved. How Chu’er and I live our life is our family’s business, there’s no need for you to exaggerate or get involved, and if you don’t like Chu’er, then lessen your visits in the future."

After these words, everyone was stunned.

Jiang Kechu was simply refuting each statement Aunt Jiang made, item by item. He usually spoke little, but he said so much for Wan Chu’er at once, an unusual occurrence. Everyone had never seen him defend anyone so adamantly, even telling Aunt Jiang to visit less for Wan Chu’er.

Aunt Jiang felt as if she had been slapped in the face, her face burning hot, unable to believe that her nephew would speak to her like that for an outsider, leaving no room for sentiment.

Wan Chu’er, on the other hand, was delighted, feeling that Jiang Kechu was truly impressive.

Seeing Aunt Jiang’s face switch between pale and red, she quickly glanced around and without hesitation, kissed Jiang Kechu on the face, stabbing another knife into Aunt Jiang’s heart.

"Jiang Kechu, well done, for this, I’m willing to settle down with you for life." True enough, Aunt Jiang’s eyes nearly bulged out, her chest heaving as she breathed heavily.

"Pfft," to the side, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh, then seeing Aunt Jiang glance over menacingly, she quickly pursed her lips and turned away.

"Big sister," Aunt Jiang turned irritably towards the kindest person present, "Big sister, you’re just watching, I... who am I doing this for? Big sister, are you really trying to bully me?"

Seeing no rift between her son and Wan Chu’er, Mrs. Jiang naturally felt reassured, but this sister-in-law has always been troublesome, so she sighed again. Although kind, she wasn’t foolish.

Mrs. Jiang advised gently, "Lirong, Ke Chu and Xiao Chu are quite good. Don’t be prejudiced. The more you interact, the more you’ll see Xiao Chu’s good qualities. Dinner is ready, let’s eat."

Aunt Jiang’s full name is Jiang Lirong.

Mrs. Jiang’s words were giving Aunt Jiang a way down, which made her feel slightly less embarrassed, but she vented her frustration towards Mrs. Jiang with a "Hmph," and yelled, "This is too much, I can’t eat this meal!"

With that, she turned and stormed out, slamming the door with a loud bang, startling Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Xiaoxiao muttered, "It was cousin who first went too far. She asked Lingling and me to bring Chu’er, yet in front of so many people she embarrassed Chu’er. It was just a small bump on her head, how could it be a concussion? My shoulder is still bruised, but Aunt didn’t even ask."

Suddenly the door was flung open again with a "bang," and everyone was taken aback, watching as Aunt Jiang, with a livid face, stormed back in.
