CHAPTER 535: CHAPTER 535: THE CROWN PRINCE IS HUMBLE

Lu Yan furrowed his brow and tapped his knuckles on the table twice before speaking,

"Jing, if she keeps refusing, will you keep going along with her?"

The Lu Family didn’t actually despise marrying off their daughter, the main issue was that the girl was from their own family; delaying this matter continuously would obviously disadvantage her.

What if something unexpected happened eventually? Who would be hurt the most?

Jiang Ye understood the implicit meaning in Lu Yan’s words:

"Brother Yan, what do you think I should do?" he asked in return.

Offending his wife was certainly something he dared not do.

But if his elder brother-in-law could offer support, for Jiang Ye, that would be the best scenario imaginable.

Lu Yan rolled his eyes.

They’re all cunning as ancient foxes, so why play dumb?

"Can’t you figure out a solution yourself? Anyway, resolve it quickly. I don’t want my girl to suffer any bad reputation outside."

Tsk.

What could Jiang Ye do?

He definitely couldn’t argue!

He rubbed his nose:

"Alright, I understand."

....

After their conversation had nearly concluded, Little Yizhou burst in:

"Daddy, Uncle, it’s time to eat."

The child was initially charging towards his dad, but unexpectedly, his uncle intercepted him halfway and whisked him away.

Hmm?

"Uncle, let me go! Let go, let go!"

"I’ll spank you if you keep yelling!"

Upon hearing this, the child immediately quieted down.

Lu Yan hadn’t bothered with the big and small scene; he finished reading a few contracts in his hand, signed them swiftly, and then stood up.

Outside, the child and his uncle were playing excitedly, with the little boy being tossed quite high.

"Wow, more, more, Uncle, throw me higher!"

Just moments ago he was struggling to get his uncle to let him go, and now this change?

Truly a fickle child, quick to change his face.

Lu Jing and Bai Luo came out to help serve the dishes, both holding their breath at the scene.

When the child once again landed safely into his uncle’s arms, Lu Jing spoke up:

"Jiang Ye, don’t throw him so high!"

What if he got hurt?

"Quickly put him down!"

Cough cough.

The wife had spoken, so Jiang Ye had no choice but to put the child down.

However, the kid seemed reluctant, still wanting to play and not wanting to come down.

"Uncle?"

Jiang Ye reached out and ruffled the little guy’s hair:

"Let’s eat first, then play."

"Alright."

Everyone took their seats, just waiting for Lu Yan.

Lu Li also took her seat, next to Jiang Ye:

"Cough cough, Jiang Lao."

Jiang Ye tilted his head:

"What’s up? Ms. Lu Li, do you need something?"

Lu Li coughed again before speaking:

"About that contract, thanks."

One wouldn’t need to be a genius to guess that the massive Jiang Group had chosen to skip major companies and decided to collaborate with her newly established small company for certain reasons.

A deed that generously handed over money surely deserved gratitude.

Otherwise, wouldn’t that be too rude?

"Thank Jiang Huai."

This was not his doing, it was all led by Jiang Huai.

Jiang Ye really didn’t intend to accept this gratitude.

If only this big sister would go a little easier on him.

Pfft—

Utterly humble.

Lu Jing felt uncomfortable commenting—as one side was her husband’s family and the other her own family, it was somewhat awkward either way.

Finally, it was Lu Yan who opened his mouth:

"Let’s eat, forget about all that."

Right.

With the head of the family speaking, everyone quickly moved past the topic.

Soon, the dinner table was filled with laughter, lively and cheery.

....

The dinner lasted quite a while, probably because they hadn’t seen each other in so long and there were no elders present, so everyone was quite relaxed.
