Chapter 126: The venomous man who pretends to be poor and has no heirs vs. the idle woman who preten
Just when Mingyi thought he had failed the test, Jiang's father, who was walking to the door, suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "Look for a date in the next two days and get the engagement done first. As for the marriage, wait until you have dealt with those things and can give Zhengzheng a clean future, then do it."
After Jiang's father made the final decision, he opened the door and went out, leaving Mingyi standing there in a daze. It was not until Jiang Jing patted him that he came back to his senses.
"Uncle means... that you agree?"
The sudden turn of events made Mingyi dizzy.
"Yes!" Jiang Jing couldn't help but roll his eyes at Ming Yi's stunned look, then he sighed with satisfaction when he remembered his sincerity towards Jiang Zheng. Although he didn't want his sister to get married so quickly, he had to say that Ming Yi was indeed an excellent candidate for marriage. "Why are you standing there? Come downstairs to eat. Do you want us to wait for you alone?"
"Here it comes!" Mingyi said belatedly.
When they went downstairs, the dishes had already been set out. Jiang's parents had smiles on their faces, and the five of them had a happy and satisfying lunch together.
……
Mingyi's proposal was not kept secret from anyone, and Jiang's parents had no intention of hiding anything. Instead, they made great efforts to prepare for Jiang Zheng's engagement.
Except for the fact that they cannot get a marriage certificate for the time being, Mingyi is very happy about everything else.
However, as expected, Ming Yi received a call from Ming Chengyuan the next day after the news spread.
"What is there to tell you? I'm the one getting married, not you!"
The voice on the other end sounded like someone was cursing angrily, and the volume was so loud that Jiang Zheng, who was on the other end of the line, could hear a few words.
"Shut up! If I really want to pay respects to my parents, I'd pay respects to my mother, not an incompetent father like you!" Ming Yi was already a little impatient. "If you want to attend the wedding so badly, why don't you and Jiang Meiling have a grand wedding, preferably one that the whole world can see. If she's satisfied and happy, you can also realize your wish to attend the wedding!"
After saying this, Mingyi hung up the phone and threw it on the sofa.
Jiang Zheng poked his arm and said, "Don't worry about him. Let's choose some clothes for the engagement."
She handed over the iPad and took out the sample drawing sent by the designer to show Mingyi.
Mingyi flipped through the book casually for a few times, then suddenly paused. He looked up at Jiang Zheng and asked something unrelated to the topic, "Today seems to be the last day of this year."
"Yes." Jiang Zheng opened her phone and took a look. Sure enough, it showed December 12st. "What's wrong? Is there something important?"
Jiang Zheng was still wondering if there was anything he had missed recently when Ming Yi suddenly stood up and rushed to the entrance, put on a thick coat, changed his shoes and took the keys in one go.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Zheng put down the iPad and looked at him curiously.
Mingyi tied his scarf around his neck while saying, "Zhengzheng, I suddenly remembered that I have something very important to do. I'm going to go do it now!"
Mingyi is the company's boss. He is very busy on weekdays and has to deal with urgent matters even during his occasional holidays. This is common.
Jiang Zheng had no doubts and just told Mingyi to "be careful on the road" before letting him go.
After Mingyi left, Jiang Zheng looked at the sample drawing out of boredom for a while and then got bored. At this moment, she received a text message on her mobile phone.
The sender is... Jiang Meiling?
……
Jiang Zheng didn't know where Jiang Meiling got her cell phone number. When she arrived at the designated coffee shop, the other party was already there.
Jiang Zheng hadn't seen the other person for a long time since the last banquet, and she didn't know why the other person was looking for her.
"Ms. Jiang, do you want to talk to me about something?" Jiang Zheng was too lazy to beat around the bush with this kind of person, so she went straight to the point.
As if she didn't expect Jiang Zheng to speak so directly, Jiang Meiling was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "Xiao Yi is going to marry you. Sooner or later, we will be a family. Xiao Zheng, why don't you call me aunt?"
Jiang Zheng touched her back teeth and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang. Although Mingyi's mother has passed away, there is a difference between inside and outside. If I call you like that, I'm afraid... Mingyi will be unhappy."
Jiang Meiling's face was distorted and unnatural for a moment. She was seen stirring the coffee in the cup with a spoon and lowering her head so that her expression could not be seen clearly.
"But it's true that Mingyi and I's wedding is approaching." Jiang Zheng suddenly mentioned it as if unintentionally.
As expected, Jiang Meiling, who had just lowered her head to hide her expression, suddenly raised her head and asked, "So fast?"
Jiang Zheng nodded with a smile, "Yes, it's better to settle it as soon as possible. Is Ms. Jiang dissatisfied with our marriage?"
"No, no!" Jiang Meiling shook her head immediately, but her expression did not lighten up much. "I just think you and Xiaoyi are still young, why are you in such a hurry to get married?"
"Not young anymore." Jiang Zheng smiled, staring at Jiang Meiling's erratic eyes and suddenly said, "After we get married, Mingyi should take over the Ming family's company, and then Ms. Jiang will be able to relax a little."
As soon as Jiang Zheng finished speaking, Jiang Meiling lost hold of the spoon in her hand and it suddenly fell to the ground with a "click". Immediately, a waiter came over to take away the fallen spoon and replaced it with a new one, but it seemed that it was not the same set as the coffee cup and looked a bit out of place.
"So fast." Jiang Meiling smiled awkwardly, her movements seeming a little stiff. "Actually I'm not that tired, so it wouldn't hurt to work for a few more years. Besides, Xiaoyi is a new official, so there are bound to be people who don't obey him. At least I can help him out in the company and get to know some people."
"Oh, how can I let you work so hard? If this gets out, people might think we are just relying on our parents and don't respect our elders." Jiang Zheng waved her hand indifferently. "Besides, a new emperor appoints new ministers. Ming Yi might feel awkward at first, but as time goes by, no one will think of him as an outsider anymore."
Without waiting for Jiang Meiling to speak, Jiang Zheng continued, "Look at this coffee cup and spoon. The spoon is obviously not a matching set, but if you don't tell others that this is a new spoon, others will just think it's the original spoon that came with the cup. After a long time, who will care whether the spoon is real or fake? Don't you agree, Ms. Jiang?"
I watched Jiang Meiling's expression change from doubt, hesitation, surprise to indecision, and finally to sudden realization.
Jiang Zheng lowered her head and took a sip of the cold coffee, hiding the meaningful smile on her lips.
Hooked.
"Xiao Zheng, auntie suddenly remembered something urgent, so I'm leaving first. We'll talk next time." Jiang Meiling seemed very anxious, picked up her handbag and was about to leave.
Jiang Zheng nodded politely, "Auntie, please go ahead."
Jiang Zheng leaned against the sofa at the back, watching Jiang Meiling hurriedly walk out of the cafe and take out her cell phone.
……
Outside the cafe.
Jiang Meiling picked up her cell phone and dialed a hidden number. In the first few seconds when the call was connected, she felt uneasy but also a little happy.
The moment the call was connected, without waiting for the other party to speak, Jiang Meiling whispered: "I need... a child!"
