Chapter 119: 109 Auntie, Divine Assist or Undermining? Chapter 119: 109 Auntie, Divine Assist or Undermining? The winter sun revealed a hint of the pale belly of a fish, but the cold wind remained, chilling to the bone.

Jiang Jinsang watched the person staring intently at Hua Mei pecking for food, his gaze deep and seemingly even colder than the north wind.

“What’s the matter? Don’t you like our Wanwan?” The girl turned to look at him.

“I do.” Jiang Jinsang was straightforward—there was no need to hide anything in front of a clever person.

“I heard from my brother-in-law that you’re coming over to break off the engagement?”

“Marrying someone I’ve never contacted, am not familiar with, and haven’t even met would be irresponsible to both parties, even if I agreed to the engagement, even marriage.”

She wore a smile at the corner of her mouth, holding a bird-teasing stick in one hand, playing with Hua Mei.

Yet the bird ignored her, which frustrated her.

“What will you marry Wanwan with, considering your health isn’t very good?”

“Rumors can’t all be believed.”

“It seems you don’t have a proper job. How do you support a family, by leeching off your own?”

“I have investments and a few jobs—it’s just that due to health issues, I haven’t reported for duty.”

“I heard that your family relationships are quite complicated. How can you guarantee Wanwan won’t be bullied if she goes there?”

What she heard was mostly about Jiang Jinsang’s poor health and his issues with his elder brother. If there was such a crafty and ruthless person in the family, Wanwan would surely be bullied going there.

“Complicated?” Jiang Jinsang chuckled lightly. “You seem to have some misconceptions about our family?”

…

She continuously asked various questions, and Jiang Jinsang’s responses were measured and reliable; no fault could be found.

It wasn’t until Jiangjiang exited the house, calling them in for a meal, that she nodded and laughed, “Thank you, we’ll come in right away.”

“Miss Shen.” Since she was Tang Wan’s maternal aunt and they were close, Jiang Jinsang was certainly very polite to her.

*

Although it was just her maternal grandfather and aunt visiting the house, they were not considered outsiders, but still, Tang Wan tidied herself up slightly and put on light makeup before coming out. As she entered the front hall, she saw that the two elders were playing with Jiangjiang in the living room.

“Where is my aunt?” Tang Wan looked around the living room, and Jiang Jinsang was also not there.

“She went out to the courtyard with Xiaowu, and I don’t know what they are whispering about.” Old Master Tang frowned. “Hey, they shouldn’t have known each other before, right?”

“They don’t seem like acquaintances either. They didn’t exchange a single word. She had just gone out, and Xiaowu immediately followed.”

“That’s really odd.”

Tang Wan pursed her lips but didn’t say anything.

Only after breakfast did the two of them come into the house one after the other.

“What were you two chatting about outside? Did you know each other before?” Even Old Master Shen couldn’t help but ask.

“We don’t know each other. I went out to feed the birds. It’s just that Hua Mei seems not to recognize me anymore, ignoring me no matter how I tease it.” The girl laughed.

Hua Mei: I’m eating! Why would you tease a bird at a time like this?

Jinsang chimed in, “I went outside for some fresh air.”

sorry, I haven’t introduced myself yet.

“Pleased to meet you.”

“Pleased to meet you.”
