Chapter 150: 121 Heed the sincere advice, treasure every moment as you go (1 update)_1 Chapter 150: 121 Heed the sincere advice, treasure every moment as you go (1 update)_1 There certainly were families more formidable than the Jiang Family, but in Hua City, Jiang Qimeng felt that even if they did not make it into the top ten, they should at least rank within the top hundred, right?

That was her modest estimate.

With such circumstances, compared to Tang Su’s family, where both parents were from the salaried class, they were far better off. In Hua City, there were thousands, tens of thousands like Tang Su’s family.

Working for a lifetime, if parents could manage to buy their children a house and a car, they could already be considered quite decent parents.

At the very bottom, there were even more people who couldn’t afford to buy their children a house, having to struggle over generations just to scrape together enough for a home.

In summary, the children of the Jiang Family, with what their parents had left them, couldn’t exhaust it even if they squandered for a lifetime.

Otherwise, Jiang Shanshan would not have had the chance to pick a man she liked, instead of being used as a pawn in marriage politics, where her parents would marry her off to a wealthy person.

Lu Han was just lucky that Jiang Shanshan took a fancy to him; otherwise, how could a child from a single-parent family qualify to become a son-in-law of the Jiang Family?

Keep dreaming.

So, what right did Lu Han have to question her about whether the Jiang Family was formidable or not?

To families that were more formidable, the Jiang family naturally wasn’t that impressive, but to the two of them, the answer was absolute.

If the Tang Family were formidable, they wouldn’t have watched Zhao Xinlan be bullied all these years, would they?

Yeah, what about it that she prevented Zhao Xinlan from having children?

What level of woman could become friends with Tang Su’s mother?

Did the child born to such a woman deserve the Jiang surname?

Besides, in her eyes, Zhao Xinlan marrying their father was nothing more than an upgrade from a life caretaker to the wife of a dean—a remarried wife of a dean at that.

Zhao Xinlan did everything by herself, thinking that by doing everything, the house would feel like a home?

How naive.

“Why are all of you gathered around Xiaozhu? It took me quite a while to find you. Come on, they are waiting to cut the cake. Today’s birthday star is still waiting for his younger relatives to sing the birthday song for him.”

The standoffish atmosphere was disrupted by the arrival of Zhao Xinlan.

The Jiang family members were angry with Tang Su, so they had ignored Zhao Xinlan, but today’s birthday star was the eldest son of the Jiang Family’s main branch, their eldest uncle.

Jiang Tao was currently the pillar of the Jiang clan. His social status was very high; maybe his personal wealth was not as much as his younger siblings, but it was his strict supervision that helped his younger siblings succeed and prosper.

Therefore, everyone in the family, young and old, respected Jiang Tao a lot.

So even if they looked down on Zhao Xinlan, they would still have to enthusiastically sing the birthday song for Jiang Tao.

“Lu Han, I hope you won’t regret today’s choice in the near future,” Jiang Qimeng walked over and said to Lu Han, then turned to Tang Su, “Tang Su, the same goes for you.”

“The feeling is mutual,” Tang Su refused to concede. Why should she let Jiang Qimeng threaten her when she relied on nothing from her?

“Miss Jiang, cherish the path you walk, consider it a piece of sincere advice.”

Jiang Qimeng: “…”

Was it her imagination?

Why did she feel like Lu Han’s words were a threat, a warning to her?

But on what basis?

He was just an ordinary front-line doctor, and she did not have a hearing impairment to seek help from him?

Even if she did, with so many ENT specialists around, she didn’t have to beg him specifically, right?

So, what was he relying on to threaten and warn her?

Probably just to show off in front of Tang Su, purely bragging?

If that was the case, then it’s their male inferiority, he felt that this way he could regain his pride and dignity as a man in front of Tang Su, let him be.

Jiang Qimeng firmly believed that Lu Han didn’t have the capability and courage, and walked away unconcerned.

When she left, she did not even say goodbye to Zhao Xinlan, not to mention calling her “mom”—she didn’t even say “auntie.”

All these years, Zhao Xinlan had gotten used to it.

Yet Tang Su and Sun Qing felt it was unjust on her behalf, Zhao Xinlan comforted the two, “What’s the matter with you two? Why did you have a conflict with them again? Don’t argue with them because of me, there’s no need, you know?”

Sun Qing, holding onto Zhao Xinlan, said, “Godmother, today Tang Su argued with them ‘a righteous fury for a blue-faced friend.’

“Lu Han? What about him? Does Jiang Shanshan still want to compete with you for Lu Han?” Zhao Xinlan asked. If it was about jealousy and rivalry, then it wasn’t really for her sake.

If Jiang Shanshan was really foolish enough to go to that extent, and communication with Jiang Tao failed, then she would find time to talk directly to Jiang Shanshan’s parents.

Isn’t the Jiang Family known for their strict family rules?

A girl shouldn’t be too forward with men, that’s indeed appropriate, but for a girl to repeatedly confess to a man who’s heart belongs to someone else and is already taken—doesn’t that violate the Jiang Family’s rules?

If they do nothing about it, then it would be a real slap in the face.

How could they have the nerve to mock her as a person without discipline or decorum?

Even without discipline, she surely hasn’t shamelessly sought after a man who did not love her, right?

Initially, it was Jiang Tao who actively pursued and asked for her hand in marriage, wasn’t it?

At that time, she thought Jiang Tao was quite a romantic man, and he had the capital to be romantic, so she boarded Jiang Tao’s ‘pirate ship.'”

However, there really are no perfect men in this world, and only after marriage did she realize that Jiang Tao’s pre-marriage virtue of valuing his family became a fatal flaw post-marriage.

For the sake of the Jiang Family, her Jiang Tao repeatedly asked her, the step-wife, to make concessions.

Back when she was young, she truly believed love was invincible, utterly infatuated with this man.

But not even the deepest infatuation could withstand the disappointments that followed the wedding, Jiang Tao in her heart had dropped from a perfect score to failing.

Su Ruoan said, since this man was already failing in her heart, why keep him around?

How could Zhao Xinlan not understand?

Still, even if she wanted to leave, she had to recoup the losses of her youth and emotional compensation first.

“She can’t win, godmother, you don’t need to bother about her,” Tang Su confidently said, mainly not wanting Zhao Xinlan to worry about her.

“Indeed, whoever takes a fancy to my goddaughter is fortunate,”

One sentence swept away the gloom in Tang Su’s heart.

The four of them walked out of the Bamboo Grove, where Su Ruoan and Tang Shengyi were waiting for them.

Once everyone was together, they headed toward the dining hall.

At this moment, inside the dining hall, a bunch of younger members of the Jiang Family were surrounding the birthday star Jiang Tao singing the Happy Birthday song, Jiang Qimeng being particularly warm to her dad today.

Jiang Tao himself was surprised.

While everyone was in the middle of singing, Zhao Xinlan and her party came in. Su Ruoan saw that they had lit all the candles on the birthday cake and Jiang Tao was surrounded by his family, who were all joyfully celebrating.

It appeared that no one in the Jiang Family realized Zhao Xinlan, Jiang Tao’s wife, hadn’t arrived yet; even Jiang Tao himself didn’t sense the absence of someone by his side.
