Chapter 586 Rescue
"Then it's up to you guys. I won't continue wasting your time here. After all, your time is so precious. If you waste it on people like us, it would be a waste, right?"
Jiang Mubai placed emphasis on the word "sister" in this sentence, so she pronounced the word particularly strongly, fearing that Jiang Jinglan and his group would not understand the sarcasm in her words.
Jiang Jinglan and her group were not fools. Of course they could hear that Jiang Mubai was mocking their age.
"What do you mean by that? Don't think that Jinglan really treats you as her sister just because she calls you sister? With your unknown background, who knows if you are older or younger than us?"
"I want to see who is saying that Mu Bai's background is unknown?"
Hearing Jiang An's voice, Jiang Jinglan immediately swallowed what she wanted to say. She didn't expect Jiang An would come to Jiang Mubai in person, and their actions were caught by Jiang An.
Originally, Jiang An didn't hear what Jiang Jinglan and Jiang Mubai said, but someone happened to hear that someone questioned Jiang Mubai's identity, which really hit him hard.
Jiang An had specifically told everyone at the dance today not to question Jiang Mubai's identity, but it had only been a short time and someone dared to say this about Jiang Mubai behind his back. Naturally, Jiang An's expression turned bad when he heard these words.
Seeing Jiang An's bad complexion, Jiang Jinglan, who was always arrogant, became very nervous.
"Jinglan, what are you doing here with so many people?"
"Uncle, I didn't do anything. I just saw Mu Bai was bored at the dance, so I brought my good friend to introduce them to each other."
"Really? Then why did I just hear such unfriendly words?"
"Uncle, you heard me wrong. How could I do this to Mu Bai? You are still here. Even if you give me ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to do this!"
Seeing that Jiang An didn't believe her words, Jiang Jinglan had to ask Jiang Mubai to prove it for her in order to prove that what she said was true. She originally thought that Jiang Mubai would be afraid of her speaking for her, or at the very least, she thought that Jiang Mubai would speak for her no matter what since he valued face so much. But she still didn't know Jiang Mubai well enough. How could someone like Jiang Mubai be afraid of Jiang Jinglan?
"Mu Bai, please explain to your uncle. I wasn't bullying you just now, was I?"
When Jiang Jinglan asked this, the atmosphere at the scene became much quieter. Wang Qianqian and her group could never imagine why Jiang Jinglan would ask Jiang Mubai such a question. Isn't this just courting death?
Seeing Jiang Jinglan asking herself this, Jiang Mubai sneered and did not answer. Her answer was contained in this sneer.
Jiang Mubai's attitude said it all. Jiang Jinglan felt like a clown. She couldn't help but get angry and wanted to say something but was stopped by Wang Qianqian.
Wang Qianqian reminded Jiang Jinglan that her second uncle was still here and she must not act impulsively.
Jiang An naturally couldn't hide the little actions between Jiang Jinglan and Wang Qianqian from his eyes. Jiang An was so angry at his niece that he almost died.
He never thought that Jiang Jinglan would be so stupid as to bring outsiders to bully his family. "Jinglan, you know your purpose in bringing these people to find Mu Bai. I didn't point it out to save face for you girls. If I really want to make a fuss with you, you will be embarrassed."
"Second Uncle, you really misunderstood us."
"This is the first and last time I warn you. Put away all the little thoughts in your heart. Mu Bai is my daughter. This is an unchangeable fact. Don't gossip about her behind her back. Look at which ladies from noble families are like you. You have wasted your time."
Jiang An's accusations showed no mercy to Jiang Jinglan at all. Jiang Jinglan looked unhappy. Wang Qianqian and her group were also scolded by Jiang An, so they naturally looked unhappy too.
If Jiang An was not an elder and a member of the Jiang family, Wang Qianqian might have asked someone to beat Jiang An up. But after knowing that the other party was Jiang An, Wang Qianqian became obedient and did not dare to do anything.
After Jiang An had a tantrum, he didn't want to see Jiang Jinglan and her messy group of friends anymore. He wanted to take Jiang Mubai away from this corner so that he wouldn't be bothered.
"Mu Bai, let's go and stop staying with these people."
"Okay, Yunchuan, let's go!"
Jiang An knew Cheng Yunchuan very well. After he heard that Jiang Mubai was married, Jiang An secretly hired someone to investigate Cheng Yunchuan, so Jiang An knew that Cheng Yunchuan was Jiang Mubai's other half.
Although Jiang An didn't like Cheng Yunchuan in his heart, he certainly wouldn't show it in front of Jiang Jinglan. If Jiang Jinglan knew about it, wouldn't it be a joke for her? Family disgrace should not be made public, and Jiang An naturally knew this truth.
Jiang An would not show any dissatisfaction with Cheng Yunchuan in front of Jiang Jinglan, but Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan had already been brought out by him, so Jiang An naturally would not be polite to him.
Although Cheng Yunchuan didn't know who helped him and Jiang Mubai out of the predicament, but through what he said before, Cheng Yunchuan also understood that the person standing in front of him was Jiang Mubai's father, his father-in-law.
"Dad, this is Yunchuan. I guess you haven't met him yet. We just happened to meet here so why not get to know each other?"
"Ah."
Jiang An's reaction was very cold and he didn't act as happy as Jiang Mubai. Cheng Yunchuan, who is so smart, naturally knew that Jiang An didn't like him in his heart. In addition, what Jiang Mubai said in the message he sent to them on Weibo before, had already revealed that the Jiang family didn't like Cheng Yunchuan.
Seeing that Jiang An was behaving so obviously in front of him, Cheng Yunchuan naturally wouldn't rush to try to please him.
"Mr. Jiang, I've heard a lot about you. Thank you for coming forward to help me and Mu Bai out of this difficult situation. Thank you so much."
Jiang An originally didn't want to pay attention to Cheng Yunchuan's words, but because Jiang Mubai was still here, he didn't want to put Jiang Mubai in a difficult position, so he had to reluctantly agree to the other party's words.
"I'm helping my own daughter, so there's nothing to thank you for. I'm afraid this is Mr. Cheng's first time at this banquet, right? You eat and drink well here. I have something else to talk to Mu Bai about, so I won't talk to you anymore."
"Dad, Yunchuan is one of us. There's nothing to be shy about. If you have anything to say, just say it here."
"No, this matter is too important to let outsiders get involved. Besides, he is right here and I won't do anything to him, a grown man. What else do you have to worry about?"
"Yunchuan is not an outsider, just talk here."
"Mu Bai, I really have something important to tell you, please don't embarrass me."
Seeing that Jiang An's expression didn't seem fake, Cheng Yunchuan didn't want to embarrass Jiang Mubai, so he took the initiative to say, "Go, Mubai, I'll be waiting for you here. Just follow Mr. Jiang and don't worry about me."
Seeing that Cheng Yunchuan asked her and Jiang An to leave, Jiang Mubai knew that Cheng Yunchuan didn't want to make things difficult for her so she had to leave with Jiang An. She thought that she would come back to find Cheng Yunchuan after listening to Jiang An's story as soon as possible.
