Chapter 601 Looking for trouble
Jiang Mubai also knew that Chen Qingyu said these words to comfort herself, so she and Jiang An did not continue the topic after hearing what Chen Qingyu said.
"Sister-in-law, will brother come back for dinner today?"
"Come back, you haven't given me any news yet, so who knows?"
"What is Big Brother busy with lately? I feel like I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Nothing. I don't know anything about the company and I don't ask about it. Isn't he still going out to check on the company every day like before?"
"So that's how it is. I always feel like I haven't seen my brother for a long time."
"You remembered it wrongly, didn't you?"
"Maybe. When people get older, their memory isn't as good as it used to be. Time really doesn't spare anyone!"
Hearing Jiang An say this, Chen Qingyu suddenly resonated with him: "Who doesn't? I didn't feel old before, but in the past few years, I obviously feel that my health is not as good as before. My memory is also the same. I often have to think for a long time before I can remember what I want to remember."
Jiang Mubai was still very young, so naturally he had no interest in topics like Jiang An and Chen Qingyu's, and he couldn't empathize with them. So no matter what Jiang An and Chen Qingyu were talking about, Jiang Mubai just stayed silent and didn't interrupt them, but just quietly ate fruit on the side.
It happened that when Jiang Mubai was sitting on the sofa and chatting with the two of them, Jiang Jinglan came back from outside. This was the first time Jiang Mubai met Jiang Jinglan since he came back from the dance last time.
Jiang Mubai didn't show any expression about this. She continued eating her fruit as if she didn't see Jiang Jinglan.
Jiang Jinglan saw Jiang Mubai ignoring her in front of Chen Qingyu and Jiang An. She was unhappy and prepared to find fault with Jiang Mubai.
"Why is my sister eating so much fruit? I seem to remember that pregnant women can't eat so many sweet things, right? If they eat too much, it will affect the baby's development, which is not good."
Seeing that Jiang Jinglan had nothing nice to say right away, Jiang Mubai didn't plan to indulge him anymore.
"Sister, you don't understand. Eating fruits is good for your health. It's even better if you eat them when you're pregnant. If you don't understand, read more books to avoid saying such things next time and making others laugh at you. Luckily, we're the only ones here, otherwise..."
Jiang Mubai didn't finish what he was saying, but everyone present knew what he meant.
Jiang Jinglan was naturally very unbalanced when she saw that she didn't anger Jiang Mubai but was outmaneuvered by him. "Sister, why are you so ruthless? I've never been married or pregnant, so how would I know this? Besides, did I say that I cared about you?"
Jiang Mubai didn't hear any concern for her in Jiang Jinglan's words. She only heard malicious intent.
Jiang Mubai ignored Jiang Jinglan's question and gave him a look, as if to say: Do you think I believe it?
Seeing that Jiang Mubai ignored her, Jiang Jinglan felt embarrassed when she said these things to herself without any response, and her face turned red with anger at Jiang Mubai.
Chen Qingyu couldn't bear to see her daughter like this, so she quickly grabbed Jiang Jinglan who was about to speak and told her to shut up and stop embarrassing herself.
Jiang An also didn't like what Jiang Jinglan said, but since they were a family and he was the elder, it was impossible for him to pretend not to see it. Besides, Chen Qingyu was still sitting here, so he couldn't remain indifferent, so he had to try to smooth things over and change the subject.
"I don't know if the kitchen has prepared dinner yet. I've been hungry for a long time."
"Isn't it? It feels like we've been sitting here talking for a long time. Let me go to the kitchen to see what's going on. If they're not ready yet, I can hurry them up."
"It would be best if sister-in-law could do this."
"What's the big deal? Jinglan, come with me to the kitchen. If you have anything you want to eat, I can tell the kitchen and ask them to make it for you."
Chen Qingyu's original intention was to call Jiang Jinglan away and prevent her from being with Jiang Mubai, so as to avoid a situation where the two of them would become hostile.
Of course Jiang Jinglan knew what Chen Qingyu meant when she asked her to leave, but she was unwilling to do so and felt that leaving at this time would be like losing. Jiang Jinglan couldn't swallow this anger and didn't want to admit defeat in front of Jiang Mubai, so she rejected Chen Qingyu's proposal.
"I don't have anything to eat. I'll just wait for dinner in the living room. You can go by yourself, Mom."
Seeing that Jiang Jinglan was so stubborn and was too embarrassed to say anything to her in front of outsiders, Chen Qingyu had no choice but to let her go. Anyway, there were more than just the two of them in the living room. With Jiang An there, Chen Qingyu didn't have to worry about the two of them arguing again. This way, Chen Qingyu felt a little more at ease.
After Chen Qingyu left, the living room became quiet. Jiang An and Jiang Mubai didn't want to talk to Jiang Jinglan at all. Jiang An originally wanted to say some polite words to Jiang Jinglan to ask her not to have such great malice towards Jiang Mubai, but after all these things happened, he understood what kind of person Jiang Jinglan was, so Jiang An didn't want to waste his time persuading Jiang Jinglan.
Jiang Jinglan couldn't bear it anymore after being bullied by Jiang Mubai just now. She planned to find Wen Nuohan tomorrow to discuss the plan. Since she couldn't do anything to Jiang Mubai, Jiang Jinglan planned to use some means to deal with Cheng Yunchuan as well. After all, they were husband and wife.
The three people in the living room fell silent for a while. Jiang Jinglan didn't have much to say to them so he simply stopped talking.
After a while, Chen Qingyu asked the servants to come to the living room and ask Jiang Mubai and the other three to go to the restaurant for dinner.
The four of them didn't talk or chat at the dinner table. Jiang Mubai guessed that it might be because of the words that were said in the living room before. At that time, she actually thought about not being so sharp, but when she heard Jiang Jinglan talking about the child in her belly, Jiang Mubai couldn't bear it and didn't want to endure it so she just confronted him.
Jiang Mubai didn't want to make a scene with Jiang Jinglan in front of Chen Qingyu, but Jiang Jinglan was determined to make trouble. So Jiang Mubai didn't want to indulge her anymore, otherwise Jiang Jinglan would think she was a soft persimmon that was easy to bully.
Jiang Mubai was happy to have some peace and quiet when no one was chatting at the dinner table, so she went for a walk in the yard of the old house after dinner in a good mood. When Jiang An saw this, he was afraid that she was in a bad mood, so he hurriedly finished his meal and followed her.
After Jiang Mubai and Jiang An left, Chen Qingyu saw that she and Jiang Jinglan were the only ones left in the restaurant, so she couldn't help but start to educate them.
"After I went to the kitchen, your second uncle and Jiang Mubai didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
"Oh! They don't dare to do anything to me in the old house."
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if you're unhappy with Jiang Mubai, can't you bear this? Do you have to say something like that in front of your second uncle?"
"Who told Jiang Mubai to be so rude that she didn't even say hello when she saw me? I just can't stand her behavior. Anyway, Second Uncle knows what kind of person I am, not even the last moment."
"You don't think of her as your sister. If you treat her like this, it's normal for Jiang Mubai not to say hello to you, okay? Don't you need her to call you sister?"
