Chapter 868: Jealousy
“Oh,” Jiang Yao replied faintly as she continued to walk with her head lowered. From time to time, she would whisper to Jiang Jie about the brand and flavor of the candy that was so delicious that she wanted to buy more. She also told him that Lu Xingzhi’s parents would attend his wedding banquet.
When Jiang Jie heard that Jiang Yao wanted to buy more candies, he tried to tease her about her greediness. However, he was stunned when he heard Jiang Yao said that Lu Xingzhi’s parents would be at his wedding.
There was no precedence for a younger sister’s in-laws to attend her brother’s wedding ceremony. The younger sister would usually only bring her husband and children to the family home to participate in the festivities. Therefore, Jiang Jie was surprised to hear that Lu Xingzhi’s parents would go to his wedding.
When he snapped back to his senses, he immediately smiled. “Alright, I’ll arrange seats for them then.” Jiang Jie knew that it was because Lu Xingzhi could not attend the wedding. The Lu family did not want the Jiang family to think that they would treat Jiang Yao’s parents lightly, so they decided to attend the wedding banquet.
It was not only because they respected the Jiang family but also because they loved Jiang Yao. They did not want her to suffer any injustice.
Jiang Yao had a temper at home before she got married. Jiang Jie had been afraid that she would not be able to get along with her in-laws when she went to live with them. However, he was relieved to know that everything was fine.
Yang Gaoshu did not listen to the rest of the conversation when she heard that Jiang Yao’s in-laws would be attending Jiang Jie’s wedding banquet. Her heart pounded. On the one hand, it was because Jiang Yao had ignored her, and on the other, it was because she was jealous that Jiang Yao had such great in-laws.
If someone were to ask her what she thought of Jiang Lei and the Jiang family, she could be quite indecisive in her answer. She was unsatisfied with many things about the family, yet she could not say what was particularly bad about them.
Everyone told her that Jiang Lei was a catch. He was a good man that she could rely on and that he had a great family. She would not suffer if she were to marry him. Many of her relatives thought she was lucky to get a Jiang Lei as her boyfriend.
She knew that Jiang Lei was a good boyfriend, and he was also good-looking. He also did not have any vices—he does not drink nor smoke. He also knew her well, but Yang Gaoshu always felt that Jiang Lei lacked something that made her want to marry him.
Initially, Yang Gaoshu thought she would have to make do with Jiang Lei for the rest of her life. However, she realized that many things were different then.
She met a man in the city who would take her to high-end shopping malls. When that man bought things for her, he did not seem to care about money. No matter what she bought at the mall, he never asked about the cost; he just paid for it.
That was not all. That man would also take her to high-end restaurants for western food, to see new movies, and to places that she had never thought of. She finally knew what Jiang Lei had lacked.
In the past, she felt that Jiang Lei was not rich enough for her. However, after she met that man, Yang Gaoshu finally realized that Jiang Lei was relatively poor.
