Chapter 5: Who is the outsider to the story

Xinde Huafu is located in the most prosperous prime area of Changting District. The cheapest prices there are in the tens of thousands of square meters. It is rumored that there are generally two types of people who live there. Either they are very rich or they are in high positions. And Jiang Muchen's family occupies both.

Jiang Muchen's grandfather was a self-made entrepreneur in the early days, and later gave up business and politics for various reasons. And the middle-aged Jiangbeitang was influenced by his father and finally chose to enter politics. Although he now holds the title of mayor of City A, he has been very incorruptible during his time in power, and he is particularly disgusted by extravagance and waste. It's like today is Mrs. Jiang's 40th birthday, and Jiang Beitang only booked a medium box that can accommodate 40 people in an ordinary hotel, and only invited some relatives and friends.

The Jiang family is a particularly large family. There are two uncles and an aunt on Jiangbei Hall. Plus what cousin cousin's, one pair of hands is not enough to count. In Jiang Muchen's generation, there are more people. Mr. Jiang has five children under his knees, and all of them have achieved extraordinary results.

The boss, Jiang Xing, opened a cultural and entertainment company, with a net annual income of several million. The second child, Jiang Jin, a famous professor at a university, is full of peach and plums. Lao Sanjiang Beitang, the mayor of City A, often sees his name in newspapers. The fourth Jiang Lin, who runs a supermarket, has a good life. Old Wu Jiang Zhe, although he is the youngest, is already the boss of several companies.

Today is Yang Yun's fortieth birthday. Although he is forty years old, Yang Yun still looks very young due to the good skin maintenance. Sometimes Tian Hao took her out and called them sisters and brothers, and few people would be suspicious. Jiang Muchen also secretly thought that the reason why his father insisted on marrying Yang Yun despite his opposition must be greedy for her young and beautiful.

Tonight, Yang Yun wore a pale yellow cheongsam. It was ordered to be done three days in advance. The styles are very novel and generous. Although it was short-sleeved, fortunately the heating in the box was turned on sufficiently, so I didn't feel cold. Since marrying into the Jiang family, she realized that she represented the identity of the mayor's wife of City A outside, so she began to pay attention to her dress, diet, and literacy.

Next to her sat a boy of about twelve. Whether it is from the appearance or the expression, there is a faint resemblance to her. I saw that he was concentrating on playing a game with his head down, and occasionally looked up and saw the elders coming and called sweetly.

Whenever he looked at his son's immature face, Yang Yun would always smile dotingly. Tian Hao is the son she had with her ex-husband. inherited his father, not to mention, handsome, smart and clever since childhood. Especially that little mouth, when it comes to talking, it is as sweet as pouring honey. Compared with Jiang Muchen's lukewarm temperament, the older generation of the Jiang family prefers him.

Jiang Beitang sat on the main seat of the round table in the living room, and after scanning the table, his face was really not very good-looking. Seeing Uncle Tie coming over, he immediately shouted in a rough voice: "You hurry up and call Jiang Muchen's kid." Now that everyone is here, is there just one waiting for him? ”

His words immediately attracted a displeased glare from the old man next to him, and he stood up with difficulty on crutches: "Uncle Tie." You're busy. I went to call him. The old man who spoke was Jiang Muchen's grandfather, and he was also the most authoritative person in the Jiang family at present.

Jiang Beitang saw that he was inconvenient to move, so he got up and wanted to help him, but he was thrown away fiercely. Everyone knows that Old Man Jiang spoiled his grandson to the sky. No matter what mistakes Jiang Muchen made at school, Old Man Jiang was the first to block in front. This made him, a father, never play his educational role. He felt that Jiang Muchen's more and more rebellious temperament was mostly given by his grandfather.

Mr. Jiang's phone didn't get through. Because Jiang Muchen's mobile phone prompt has been turned off. After all, it's his own grandson, how can he not know what he thinks in his heart? So after sitting down again, Old Man Jiang only waved his hand lightly and said, "Let's all sit down and eat, don't wait for Mu Chen."

No matter how stupid Yang Yun was, he could hear the underlying meaning of these words. She was naturally unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show that unhappiness on her face. After staying in the Jiang family for nearly seven years, she already knows how to hide her feelings. In the face of anything, you can be mindful of the world and accommodate all rivers, which is the style that the mayor's wife should have. She suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, and said in a soft voice as much as possible: "Is there something wrong with this kid Mu Chen?" Why don't I give him a call?"

Jiang Beitang's originally calm face sank a little more, and he stopped: "What are you fighting?" He just did it on purpose. In the past, he did all that mess to make me angry. I know that you haven't come for your birthday today, isn't that deliberately embarrassing me?"

Old Man Jiang can't listen to others say bad things about his grandson again, even if this person is his son." Alright, alright. What do you care about with a child? How old is Mu Chen now? It's inevitable to make a mistake once in a while. Why are you holding on to it? Are you embarrassed to put it on the table?"

Jiang Beitang moved his lips, and really wanted to reply, do you know what good things your precious grandson did yesterday? He gathered a crowd to fight at the school gate and hospitalized the other party. The most excessive thing is that there is no remorse afterwards. It's not terrible to make a mistake, it's terrible to be unrepentant after making a mistake, and you don't even realize that you have made a mistake.

After all, it's not a glorious thing, Jiang Beitang thought about it, and could only swallow all those words into his stomach again. Anyway, whatever he said was wrong in the eyes of Old Man Jiang. On the other hand, whatever Jiang Muchen does, Old Man Jiang has a reason to protect him.

On the way to eat, someone in the crowd noticed the outstanding-looking Yang Wei, so they asked Jiang Beitang and his wife curiously, "Who is this little girl?" ”

Yang Yun hurriedly introduced: "Oh. This is the daughter of my eldest brother's family. Xiaowei. This is the fourth grandfather, hurry up and call someone. ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at themselves. Yang Wei blushed and called out to the fourth grandfather. It was the first time she had sat down to eat with the elders of the Jiang family. After all, it's not in your own home. Inevitably, there will be some restraints.

"It's pretty good. It's a good match for our Mu Chen." The one sitting opposite and talking is Jiang Beitang's second uncle, that is, Jiang Muchen's second grandfather. On weekdays, he is strict, does not smile, and speaks as if he is teaching students, with a glance, and today he somehow made a joke about the two children.

"Don't say it. These two children seem to be a good match. I don't know who echoed the sentence at the end. Several of the elders present laughed along. In fact, everyone is just joking, entertaining and entertaining, and there is no other malicious intent. But Yang Wei was still embarrassed and was about to hide under the table. It's good that they didn't dwell on this topic for long.
