Chapter 977: March to Question the Fault 4
Lu Jiang glanced at his nephew with a sideways look, "You little scamp, don’t just stand there pleased with yourself. Step up!
A wife faced with criticism, if you’re a man, you’ve got to step in, can’t hide behind your wife and do nothing about everything.
Lu Tianjun didn’t let his uncle down and stepped forward, placing Jiang Xiaoyue behind him, "Comrade Ye, as you said, I’m just a minor soldier, far less distinguished than your son’s noble birth..."
"Since you’re aware of your place, what are you doing standing here?" Ye Qing interrupted him with a face full of scorn and sarcasm, "Xiaoyue is the apple of Comrade Jiang’s eye, beloved since childhood, among girls her age, there are very few high-ranking officials’ daughters who can compare with her. Do you think you’re worthy of her?"
Seeing Lu Tianjun bullied, Jiang Xiaoyue got upset, a rare flush of anger crossing her face, "Auntie Ye, what do you mean by this? Whether Tianjun is worthy of me or not is for me and my family to decide!"
"Xiaoyue, I’m doing this for your own good," Ye Qing said.
"For my good?" Jiang Xiaoyue laughed coldly, her smile tinged with chilliness, "If you’re really looking out for me, you should be blessing me and Tianjun, not coming to our home to make a scene and criticize Tianjun! You came here to make a scene, my dad has already explained, neither he nor I have failed to keep our promises. As for your accusations against Tianjun, let me be frank with you, aside from the family background which is completely unimportant to us, Tianjun has nothing to be faulted for; I like his ambition, his filial piety, his capability, and his manners!"
If it weren’t for the concern over relations between the two families, and not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble for Lu Tianjun, Jiang Xiaoyue would have said that Li Jun is no match for Lu Tianjun in every aspect, not even a single hair.
Beauty lies in the lover’s eyes, none truer than this.
