Chapter 379: 247 Paying respects at the grave, Wanwan vanishes into thin air? (3rd update)

Jiang Jinsang rented a light display for his confession, causing quite a stir. It spread throughout their circle, and the very next day, Jiang Zhenhuan called him over for a scolding.

The Jiang Family had always been discreet in their dealings; it was rare for someone like Jiang Jinsang to be so ostentatious.

“Be more careful in the future.”

“When you and Mother confessed, in a theater of thousands, clutching flowers—in that era, you were much more extravagant than I.”

Jiang Zhenhuan was left speechless; back then, Fan Mingyu had an ardent admirer, and their relationship wasn’t set in stone. In that era where there were no mobile phones, only letters, sometimes there would be no reply for ten days or half a month—how could he not be anxious?

The social morays were conservative at the time, so he didn’t even dare to hold her hand when asking her out.

So he was unclear about what Fan Mingyu felt towards him and had decided to throw caution to the wind with that grand gesture—a memory that has lived on to this day.

“Jiang Xiaowu!” Jiang Zhenhuan warned in a low voice.

This kid must be itching for a celebration recently.

“But I also heard that the first time you went to your grandfather-in-law’s house to propose, you were kicked out.”

Jiang Jinsang couldn’t help but laugh.

In the previous era, such a move meant everyone considered them a pair; no one would dare pursue Fan Mingyu or arrange another marriage for her. If it had worked out, it would have been fine, but if not, they couldn’t avoid the gossip.

Fan Mingyu’s grandfather suffered from Alzheimer’s; it had become more severe in recent years, with his memories in disarray. Whenever Jiang Jinsang visited him, he sometimes mistook him for Jiang Zhenhuan and would tirelessly repeat embarrassing stories about his father.

Every visit, he had to hear the story again, and the main thing was that each time, he would hear some fresh scandal.

“Get out—”

Jiang Zhenhuan was so frustrated he didn’t know what to do with this son who antagonized him.

…

This affair was the subject of many discussions for days until it was the anniversary of the Jiang Family’s eldest grandchild’s death. The night before, the elderly matriarch repeatedly reminded Fan Mingyu to prepare things for the ancestral tribute.

“Everything’s ready. We’ll just buy a bundle of flowers tomorrow morning before we leave.”

Flowers had to be fresh, after all.
