Young Master Jiang's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes were wary of anyone coming.
Don't blame him for being careless. After being together with Cuicui for these years, Zhou Haiwen harassed him every few days at first. After the relationship between the two stabilized, he had the good sense not to bother him again. Jiang Shao thought he was having trouble. Self-awareness voluntarily withdraws.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shao suddenly appeared at his and Cuicui's engagement party today, and it was difficult for Mr. Jiang not to be on guard.
"What are you doing here? Don't be silent and talk to me!" Mr. Jiang stared at him. As long as he made the slightest move, he would immediately call for someone to drive him out.
"Why are you anxious?" Zhou Haiwen looked up. Compared with Jiang Shaochunfeng's face, he was obviously much more haggard, with a tired look on his face and he was struggling to cheer up.
"This is a gift for Cuicui."
He spoke the last two words very low, but Mr. Jiang still heard them. He accepted the gift box with hesitation, but still had no good expression towards others: "Okay, I'll take it. You can leave now."
Zhou Haiwen remained motionless. People around him felt strange and looked at him strangely from time to time.
Mr. Jiang's face became darker. Sure enough, this guy had evil intentions and ulterior motives. The gifts were fake, but the truth was true when he took advantage of every opportunity.
"Why are we meeting? If you have anything important, tell me the same and I will convey it to Cuicui."
In short, we are on guard to prevent any possibility of the two of them getting back together.
Zhou Haiwen lowered his head and coughed twice. He frowned, feeling that he could not get rid of the itch in his throat. This itch would become more serious every quiet night.
He took a few deep breaths and mocked Mr. Jiang: "Afraid we will meet?"
These five words instantly stung Young Master Jiang. He widened his eyes and suppressed his anger. He felt guilty and annoyed when he met the other person's gaze.
"I'm warning you one last time, if you don't get out, I'm going to have someone take action!"
If he hadn't been worried about ruining his and Cuicui's happy day, Mr. Jiang would have ordered someone to beat Zhou Haiwen until his parents couldn't recognize him. This is his territory, his engagement party, and this person still dares to provoke him without knowing his life or death?
Mr. Jiang gritted his teeth: "I count to three! Three. Two."
Just as he was about to count to one, a soft female voice suddenly came from behind, "Why are you so unreasonable? The visitor is a guest."
I don't know who was the quick-thinking person who reported the situation at the door to Huacui. She was coaxing the elders from ear to ear in the room. The atmosphere was harmonious. After hearing the commotion, she wanted to come out and take a look.
"Young Master Jiang, you are a guest. Why don't you invite people in? The banquet is about to start. You can't ask people to go back with an empty stomach."
Mr. Jiang bit his lower lip, a little reluctantly. He didn't believe that Zhou Haiwen came to send blessings sincerely.
At first glance, it looked like a weasel paying New Year greetings to the chicken, which was not a good idea.
Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, Hua Cui looked at him with a smile: "Why, you don't listen to what I say now?"
"Listen, I'm obedient." Jiang Shao shook his head gloomily.
In front of so many people, he was not worried about being ridiculed as a henpecker. He looked at Zhou Haiwen with a smile, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Welcome."
As for whether this "welcome" was sincere or false, Zhou Haiwen didn't care. From the moment Huacui appeared, his eyes focused on the person.
"Cui Cui..."
Thinking about it carefully, the two of them had not seen each other for a long time, because of Hua Cui's avoidance, because of Jiang Shao's obstruction, and because of his own avoidance.
Zhou Haiwen's eyelashes drooped slightly. He wanted to apologize, wanted to tell her that he finally understood how wrong he was, and wanted to tell her... If he was given another chance, he would never ask for anything from her again.
Give rather than take.
If you give him another chance...
Hua Cui interrupted gently: "Welcome."
Zhou Haiwen seemed to be strangled by someone's throat suddenly. His lips moved and he couldn't say a word.
"Hurry up and take a seat. The banquet will start soon. No need to be formal, just feel free to eat and drink."
There was nothing wrong with his distant and polite attitude, and he treated him no differently than any other guest.
The hope in Zhou Haiwen's eyes completely disappeared.
When the surrounding guests who wanted to join in the fun saw this scene, they dispersed one after another. They originally thought that there would be some gossip drama, but now it seems that it is probably an insignificant person who stalks the heroine. Jiang Shao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He just said that he was the one who lived in Cuicui's heart now!
Anyone with the surname Zhou or Zhao should step aside!
Jiang Shao bit his lower lip, but still couldn't help showing a silly smile. He carefully held Hua Cui's hand. When he felt the response from the people around him, he became even more elated. He felt that there was nothing happier than this.
Young Master Jiang didn't know how many times he silently made a wish in his heart: Please.
Buddha, Guanyin, the Jade Emperor, Jesus and the Virgin Mary passing by in the west, any god is fine, please protect him that his happiness will never be destroyed!
Please.
Perhaps the passing gods really heard his prayer. Although there were some hiccups along the way, the engagement party ended smoothly as scheduled.
Jiang Shao couldn't bear to let go of Hua Cui's hand, still holding it tightly. He said seriously: "Cui Cui, I am yours now, you have to be nicer to me in the future."
Hua Cui rarely indulged him and joked: "Am I not good enough for you?"
"That's enough, but I'm afraid you'll change your mind."
This guy is getting better and better at coquettishness.
"It seems unlucky to say such words today."
Jiang Shao bit his lower lip and found that what Hua Cui said made sense, so would he have a crow's mouth?
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. He quickly patted his shoulder three times to break the curse. Then he felt like an immature fool. He giggled to himself. When he looked up, he saw Zhou Haiwen looking at him not far away. To be precise, He said that he was looking at the flowers beside him.
Their eyes met in mid-air, and the latter paused quietly for a second before looking away first.
The smile on Mr. Jiang's face faded a little. He didn't know why, but his heart suddenly felt unspeakably dull. He didn't feel as proud as he had imagined of defeating his love rival.
Perhaps they all have the most sincere feelings for the same person. Such strong feelings make him feel a little lonely at this moment. Is it the same thing that belongs to the same kind, or is it the sorrow of a rabbit and a fox?
No! No, he and Cuicui would not end up like that! Jiang Shao took a deep breath and quickly discarded the sadness in his heart. This was the result Zhou Haiwen brought upon himself, and he deserved it!
And he is very good and will always be good.
Jiang Shao turned around and said with a smile: "Cui Cui, are you not full just now? You haven't eaten much. Is it not to your liking? I left an extra dessert, it's your favorite taste."
"Where?"
"I'll take you there."
"Yeah."

Compared with the later generations who had sex before marriage and after marriage, and the real marriage certificate was only worth nine yuan, there is a saying in this era that love without the purpose of marriage is a rogue, so ordinary people are generally much more pure and single-minded.
Although Huacui and Jiang Shao did not officially register their marriage, they held an engagement banquet under the noses of their parents and relatives. In the minds of everyone, it was no different from a formal marriage. Therefore, Jiang Jianqiang was less guarded against Huacui. layer.
"Master Jiang! You are lazy again! I asked you to do things, but what about you, are you here in a daze?"
Jiang Shao's heart trembled and he turned around with a guilty conscience. Hua Cui crossed her arms and stared at him with a dangerous expression.
"I'm not lazy!" He quickly explained and said with a shy smile, "Cui Cui, I'm not in a daze. I'm designing our future wedding clothes. Do you like Chinese or Western style? I like both. How about we hold two weddings? Right? ”
Huacui: "."
She glanced at several designs that Mr. Jiang had graffitied on the table. She might not have the talent for this. Although she could tell that the owner was very attentive, the effect was still mediocre and lackluster. What's more, even if he designed the flowers, they would be useless. There will never be a day of use.
"Don't change the subject. Tell me, did you do everything well?"
After the two got engaged, under Hua Cui's hints, Jiang Jianqiang chose to slowly delegate power to her. Of course, his son was still his heart and soul. If Jiang Shao hadn't really failed to live up to his expectations, all he could think about was romantic affairs. , I’m afraid there’s nothing to do with Hua Cui at all.
Even so, Jiang Jianqiang still valued Mr. Jiang more.
Hua Cui sneered in her heart, was she being treated as a tool, a stepping stone for his precious son Mr. Jiang?
It also depends on whether he has the ability and luck.
