"Alright, alright, I'm just reminding you, don't bring in a gold-digger. I'm definitely not like them, you know I have no interest in money," Chu Weixian said.
Chu Yu listened to his parents' argument with a blank expression. It wasn't until Jin Lan entered with Jiang Yan that his expression changed, turning extremely unpleasant.
Jin Qing also saw her brother and Jiang Yan and was somewhat surprised. She stood up and asked, "What's going on here?"
"Since everyone is here, let me introduce her. Jiang Yan is now my girlfriend," Jin Lan announced.
Chu Weixian also stood up. He was somewhat wary of Jin Lan. This younger brother-in-law was a bit peculiar and had never liked him much. No matter how sincere he acted, it was useless.
Fortunately, he had now withdrawn from the Jin family's business and was focused on being a doctor. He posed no threat to himself or his son.
"What do you two mean? What do you take me for!" Chu Yu stood up and roared agitatedly.
Jin Qing looked at her agitated son and quickly asked, "Jin Lan, what is going on? How did you end up with Miss Jiang?"
"Sister, Jiang Yan and I were betrothed as children. It's nothing wrong for us to be together now," Jin Lan said, tightly holding Jiang Yan's hand.
"Jiang Yan, how could you do this to me? Uncle, I'm your nephew! Why are you trying to steal my girlfriend!" Chu Yu cried out in despair, looking at the two of them.
Chu Weixian had been confused at first. Now he finally understood. So, this woman was his son's girlfriend, and Jin Lan had stolen her away.
"What is going on? Can someone explain it to me?" Chu Weixian's face darkened, and his gaze at Jin Lan and Jiang Yan became sharp.
"Everyone, stop talking. Guests have arrived. Aunt Liu, prepare dinner. Let's eat first, and we can discuss things afterward," Jin Qing said with a serious expression.
She was the matriarch of the family now, and her words were rarely defied.
"Mom, do you think I can still eat? You're all too much!" Chu Yu trembled with anger.
At this moment, Jiang Yan felt as if she had descended into hell, an agonizing experience. She felt as if she could no longer hear the sounds of the world, only the faces before her becoming clearer and clearer.
"Chu Yu! Calm down. There's nothing that can't be solved! Come and sit down. Miss Jiang, please!" Jin Qing's voice became even more stern.
Chu Weixian frowned deeply, but eventually, father and son obeyed Jin Qing and took their seats.
However, no one could eat this meal, except for Jin Lan. He acted as if nothing had happened, constantly looking after Jiang Yan, who was visibly tense, urging her to eat. Jiang Yan could barely swallow anything. Every bite was an extreme torment.
Chu Yu's eyes were bloodshot. He gripped his chopsticks tightly, staring at the couple opposite him, especially Jiang Yan.
Chu Weixian patted his son's back, hoping to help him relax.
Jin Qing said nothing and ate her meal, her posture still elegant. This was the centuries-old Jin family upbringing: no matter what happened, even if Mount Tai were to collapse before them, one's composure must not be disturbed.
Chu Yu truly couldn't eat anymore. He was on the verge of tears. He threw down his chopsticks and stood up, saying, "I can't eat anymore. You all enjoy your meal!"
After he spoke, he left. Chu Weixian watched his son's dejected back, then looked at the couple sitting opposite. He ultimately restrained himself and did not question them.
