Quick Transmigration The Prodigal Son - Chapter 19
The Eldest Young Master’s Gentle Wife (19)
Days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the middle of the next month. Jiang Zhe brought a light blue cheongsam home.
Li Cai Wei didn’t understand: “Why did you buy a cheongsam?”
Jiang Zhe did not answer, replying: “Try it.”
Li Cai Wei couldn’t go against him, and brought the cheongsam to the inner room.
Five minutes later, Jiang Zhe heard her voice and looked back.
The embroidered gown was elegant and fitting, extremely beautiful with a blue base and white flowers.
Li Cai Wei seemed to be born to wear cheongsams.
Jiang Zhe’s eyes were amazed and immediately said: “Very beautiful.”
Li Cai Wei smiled and said: “I also think it looks good.”
Jiang Zhe: “If you like it, then this shall be the one.”
Listening to him, Li Cai Wei wondered: “You bought other styles?”
Jiang Zhe paused, before saying: “No.”
Li Cai Wei gave a sigh of relief.
Jiang Zhe: “Wear this today, accompany me out tonight.”
Li Cai Wei: “Alright.”
…………
The building was beautifully decorated, glamourous and magnificent.
Outside the mayor’s house, many black cars were parked. Jiang Zhe arrived with minutes to spare, when Third Master Zheng had just stepped out of his car.
Jiang Zhe held onto Li Cai Wei, and walked over to greet him, “Uncle Zheng.”
Third Master Zheng nodded, his eyes swept over Li Cai Wei, his eyebrows gentle, like a kindly elder. “This must be Niece-In-Law.”
Li Cai Wei smiled and greeted: “Uncle Zheng.”
Third Master Zheng smiled and nodded, “Let’s go.”
Jiang Zhe led Li Cai Wei behind him, unimpeded.
Concubine Shu, who was hiding in one corner, gritted her silver teeth till it broke. She had prepared so much previously, buying out several guards and servants of the mayor at high prices, just to publicly embarrass Jiang Zhe.
However, now that he was following Third Master Zheng, who would dare disregard their lives to step up and make trouble?
Other informed people saw that there wouldn’t be a good show, twisted their mouths in disdain and left disappointed.
Only Concubine Shu and Jiang Chen stood in the same place, flustered, not knowing whether to stay or to go.
Concubine Shu harshly hit her son and whispered a curse: “You say, what use do you have? I managed to fight for half of the Jiang family’s assets for you with great difficulty, and drove that bastard out. But what were the results? In the blink of an eye, that bastard hugged onto such a thick thigh. How did I never find out previously that Jiang Zhe was such a lowly person, fawning over the rich and powerful, I still thought he was so lofty.”
Jiang Chen’s eyes flashed, “Mother is right. Jiang Zhe, that person, had always been pretentious.”
Who knew that Concubine Shu would turn around and spit out a sentence at him, “That’s still better than you, this silent person. Look at how much good things you had in your hand, yet you still can’t do anything to him. You say, what are you even capable of?”
Jiang Chen pursed his mouth, completely silent.
Concubine Shu vented, and left angrily.
No matter how wildly arrogant she was, she knew that the mayor’s territory was not something she could intrude upon.
As for Jiang Chen, when could he squeeze into that circle, she was afraid that she would laugh herself awake even in her dreams.
Jiang Zhe followed Third Master Zheng along the way, admiring the decorations in the house, simple but elegant. There were brightly painted carvings on the pillars, railings and wooden doors. The patterns included fishes, dragons, phoenixes, flowers and birds, very lifelike.
However, after turning a corner and passing through the doorway, they entered the lobby and his vision suddenly became bright.
Unlike the traditional buildings he saw along the way, the lobby had more of a modern atmosphere.
The songs slowly played from the phonograph, and men and women embraced and danced in the lobby.
There were even a lot of young women who had curled their hair, wearing short western dresses. Under such circumstances, Li Cai Wei was even more eye-catching, in her plain coloured cheongsam and her hair up in a bun.
Even more so, her temperament was like an orchid, neither happy nor sad, just standing there like a beautiful peaceful scenery.
The many people’s attention frightened this woman, who was usually a recluse.
Jiang Zhe bade Third Master Zheng a farewell and took her to rest.
Jiang Zhe brought her a platter of western-style snacks. “Eat some desserts, you’ll feel better.”
Li Cai Wei used a fork and unskillfully stabbed a piece.
The white cream touched the corner of her mouth. Jiang Zhe took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her.
Li Cai Wei’s face was slightly red, timidly saying: “Don’t, they are watching.”
Jiang Zhe scanned the crowd, and no one returned his gaze. Li Cai Wei undoubtedly relaxed a lot.
After more than ten minutes, Li Cai Wei felt better. Jiang Zhe helped her up. “Let’s go to Third Master Zheng?”
Li Cai Wei nodded.
Just that, Jiang Zhe did not expect that he would meet an “old acquaintance.”
The woman also wore a cheongsam, but it was a gorgeous red, her hair was slightly curled, her face was covered with heavy makeup, and her lips were painted with a bright red color. She could attract people’s attention in no time.
Woman: “Eldest Young Master Jiang, I haven’t seen you for a long time, you also haven’t come to visit this woman, making this woman very sad.”
Jiang Zhe’s face held a small polite smile with a sense of alienation: “Miss Qiu Yue, hello.”
Qiu Yue eyes contained grievances: ” Eldest Young Master Jiang is really heartless. Before that, you clearly called this woman Yue Yue.”
Jiang Zhe: “Miss Qiu Yue must have remembered wrongly. We only met a total of five times, and said three sentences.”
Jiang Zhe: “Miss Qiu Yue, hello.” “Miss Qiu Yue, are you free?” “Miss Qiu Yue, goodbye.” ”
Jiang Zhe: “It’s these three sentences. Therefore, asking Miss Qiu Yue to be more prudent with her words.”
Qiu Yue: ……………
Third Master Zheng: ……………
This man couldn’t be a fool, right?
Ever since hearing “Qiu Yue” these two words, Li Cai Wei’s mood suddenly dropped, disappointment, sadness, and later, shock, wanting to laugh.
She didn’t dare to look up, she was afraid that others would see the unrestrained laughter on her face.
The thorn originally buried in her heart was also finally removed.
She had thought that Jiang Zhe had something going on with Qiu Yue previously, looks like she was really thinking too much.
It was the first time for the Qiu Yue, who was used to playing with men, to be defeated. After a long while, she came back to her senses and forced a smile. “Eldest Young Master Jiang can really crack a joke, hehe.”
Jiang Zhe’s face was very serious, and he even frowned. Seemingly showing his disapproval, but only because of etiquette, he didn’t rebut.
Qiu Yue: Your mom, I can’t continue the conversation like this.
Wasn’t this man previously very obsessed with her, or did she misunderstand?
Qiu Yue plucked up her courage and looked at Jiang Zhe. Other than impatience in that pair of eyes, there really weren’t any other emotions.
Qiu Yue: Suddenly defeated.
She bade farewell to Third Master Zheng, then busily left.
Today’s face had been utterly lost.
After Qiu Yue left, Third Master Zheng teased Jiang Zhe: “Look, you made Qiu Yue so flustered.”
Jiang Zhe frowned, seriously rebutting: “Uncle Zheng, I did not.”
Jiang Zhe: “It doesn’t matter if she remembered wrongly. But I don’t like people who create something out of nothing and use me.”
Third Master Zheng: ………
Really, being handsome didn’t matter, not knowing how to please a girl, no wonder he only had a single lady by his side.
However, everything had its pros and cons. When Jiang Zhe works for him in the future, at least he wouldn’t be easily trapped by a woman.
Third Master Zheng put away his thoughts and officially introduced Jiang Zhe to others.
Halfway through, he also followed Third Master Zheng and had a toast with the mayor.
Others were extremely envious.
This person was really fortunate. Don’t think that the Eldest Young Master Jiang lost his family assets and was chased out of the house. The other party’s luck was good, and in the blink of an eye partnered with Third Master Zheng, his glory surpassing the past.
Such a recovery after being down in the dumps, even drama scripts wouldn’t dare to write.
The dance continued until till dawn. Jiang Zhe did not reject Third Master Zheng’s good intentions, and accepted his ride home.
Li Cai Wei shyly looked down the whole way, quietly sitting by his side without a word.
When they returned home, Li Cai Wei helped him back into the room, laid on the bed, finally without any outside interference. She suddenly said: “Jiang Zhe, what exactly are you doing?”
The man pretending to sleep on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes clear, without any trace of drunkenness.
