The living room of the Jun Family was silent. Everyone except Jun Ziheng had arrived.
"Ahem…" Grandfather Jun cleared his throat.
"Why did you call everyone back today? It's to announce a happy event."
Other than Jun Ziqing and her daughter who were smiling openly, no one else showed any other expression.
Grandfather Jun was no longer in the mood to keep them in suspense when he saw the tense atmosphere.
"Elder Yuan called me today, hoping to settle the marriage between the Yuan Family and the Jun Family as soon as possible.”Grandfather Jun said slowly.
Apart from Jun Zhiwen and Jun Zhiwu, everyone's eyes were focused on Grandfather Jun.
Grandfather Jun narrowed his eyes. He was very satisfied with the effect he had created.
"This time, Ah Qing met Elder Yuan in Shanghai. Elder Yuan had a good impression of Ah Qing and was very satisfied with Ah Qing. Elder Yuan…"
Jun Zinuo secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Although she had already expected this outcome, the old man's words were just too tantalizing. It made her heart hang in her throat for a long time.
Jun Zizhuo's tensed nerves also relaxed. He secretly sized up Jun Zixuan, but Jun Zixuan's expressionless face did not reveal any clues.
"What noble lady? Pah! She was thick-skinned enough to stay in Shanghai to take care of an old man she did not know, and she still had the nerve to say it in such a big way.”Mother Jun shouted angrily.
Jun Zinuo looked at the angry Mother Jun with a headache. Apart from Mother Jun, there was no one who was dissatisfied with this marriage, and the result was within everyone's expectations.
"You silly girl, your marriage was clearly snatched away by someone else, but you're still so indifferent. You actually went to congratulate that mother and daughter. You're simply wooden to the bones.”Mother Jun looked at the leisurely Jun Zinuo with disappointment.
Jun Zinuo walked out of the room amidst Mother Jun's incessant nagging. She bumped into Jun Ziqing in the corridor on the third floor. The Jun Family's villa had a total of three floors. Grandfather Jun, Jun Zhiwen, and Jun Zhiwu lived on the first floor. Jun Zhiyue and Jun Zixuan were staying on the second floor, while Jun Ziqing and Jun Zinuo were staying on the third floor. It seemed that Jun Ziqing had been waiting for her here.
"Sister Ziqing, congratulations." Jun Zinuo said sincerely.
Jun Ziqing looked at the sincere smile on Jun Zinuo's face and felt his entire body heat up. She thought that she would see disdain and contempt, and she had already thought of how to retaliate. However, there was no contempt or jealousy in Jun Zinuo's eyes. There was only peace. Jun Ziqing had prepared a lot of words, but none of them came in handy.
"Don't you blame me?" Jun Ziqing asked in surprise.
"Why should I blame you? There's never been anything between Yuan Mingche and me. I don't love him, and he doesn't love me either. He's just playing a little joke on me.”Jun Zinuo smiled at Jun Ziqing.
Jun Zinuo ignored the stunned Jun Ziqing. She only wanted to go back to her room to rest.
Although Jun Zinuo did not agree with Jun Ziqing's actions, she still admired his courage. Everyone had the right to fight for their own happiness. Jun Ziqing was more compatible with Yuan Mingche in every aspect. She knew that even without the Yuan family, there would still be the Li family and the Zhang family. Rather than marrying someone she didn't like, she might as well marry someone she liked. Moreover, a marriage alliance with the Yuan family was her best choice at the moment.
Jun Zinuo didn't expect the proud Jun Ziqing to be able to do this. It seemed like she really loved Yuan Mingche. However, he didn't know what Yuan Mingche was feeling right now. Jun Zinuo was certain that the person in Yuan Mingche's heart was definitely not Jun Ziqing. He hoped that Jun Ziqing wouldn't regret it one day.
Jun Zinuo wasn't a sentimental person. However, after witnessing Yuan Mingche and Jun Ziqing's marriage alliance, Jun Zinuo was even more confused about his future. She had been studying so hard since she was young, forcing herself to learn things that she clearly didn't like. Could it be that she was just trying to maintain the Jun Family's interests by marrying someone?
Ever since the Jun Family and Yuan Family had decided on the date of Yuan Mingche and Jun Ziqing's engagement, Jun Ziqing's attitude had slowly softened. Recently, he had been coming back more and more often, and his expression was much gentler than before.
Of course, Jun Zinuo hoped to get along well with Jun Zixuan. With her current situation, staying by Jun Zixuan's side was the safest option. At least before Jun Zi Xuan lost interest in her, he would not allow Grandfather Jun to arrange her marriage.
On the second-floor balcony of Biyuan Tea House, Jun Zinuo and Xiaoxiao were sipping tea. Speaking of which, they had become good friends because of tea.
"I don't understand. What kind of society is this now? Why do the juniors of the Jun Family have to listen to an old man's blind orders?”Xiaoxiao shouted at Jun Zinuo, who was looking worried.
"Everyone has something that they insist on, chains and shackles that they can't escape.”Jun Zinuo said calmly. The children of the great clans seemed to be in the limelight, but they also had their own difficulties.
"I don't believe it. If you don't want to marry him, what can he do to you? Besides, what's wrong with marrying into a rich family? Girls nowadays are all racking their brains to marry into a rich family, but you're still unwilling.”Xiaoxiao teased.
"You don't understand. To put it bluntly, I'm an orphan in the Jun Family. If I marry well, both families will be happy. If I don't marry well, I can only become an abandoned child of the Jun Family.”Jun Zinuo mocked himself.
"Even if I don't marry them, they won't do anything to me.”Jun Zinuo looked at the nervous Xiaoxiao and comforted her.
"Then it's settled. I really don't know what you're afraid of.”Xiaoxiao sneered.
"But my mother is still in the Jun Family, and my father is still there…”
"I don't believe that they would dare to mess around.”Xiaoxiao stood up indignantly.
"It hasn't happened yet. I don't know what they will do, but I have to consider my parents 'situation.”
"I think you're thinking too much. Find someone to fall in love with and quickly find someone you love and love you to marry.”Xiaoxiao shouted.
"It's so easy to find someone I love, someone who loves me!”Jun Zinuo smiled bitterly.
"By the way, how are you and Li Jun doing recently? Didn't you say that Li Jun planned to marry you after graduation?”Jun Zinuo did not want to discuss this topic with Xiaoxiao anymore, so he asked Xiaoxiao a question that piqued her interest.
"What else can I do? Looking for a job all over the world? He said that he would talk about it when his job was stable.”Xiaoxiao pouted and said unhappily.
"This is a good thing! At the very least, it meant that he was very motivated!”
"But I keep feeling that he's been hiding something from me recently.”
"How could that be? You even know his ancestors from three generations ago. What can he hide from you?”Jun Zinuo teased.
Jun Zinuo remembered Xiaoxiao mentioning that Li Jun had once shown her their family tree. She had been talking about it for many days.
"Puchi!" Xiao Xiao was amused by Jun Zinuo, and her gloomy mood was swept away.
"What a coincidence! Are you drinking tea here?"
Jun Zinuo and Xiaoxiao were stunned. They saw Yuan Mingheng walking forward with a smile. They hurriedly stood up and politely greeted Yuan Mingheng.
"I didn't expect you to know how to taste tea at such a young age.”Yuan Mingheng naturally sat down.
" We're also blindly tasting," Xiaoxiao said incoherently.
Jun Zinuo looked at Xiaoxiao, who was sweating profusely, with an amused expression. She really did not understand why Xiaoxiao would be so nervous every time she saw Yuan Mingheng, who was a rather amiable person.
"Do the two beauties also know the Way of Tea?"
"A little!"
"I don't really understand."
Jun Zinuo and Xiaoxiao looked at each other after they finished talking. Jun Zinuo saw a hint of regret in Xiaoxiao's eyes.
"Oh! It seemed that the two beauties were well versed in this! If I have time, I must ask the two beauties for advice!”
"Deputy Secretary Yuan, you're too polite. You can just call me Zinuo. She's Xiaoxiao, and you're our great benefactor! We've always wanted to treat you to a meal to express our gratitude, but we never knew if you had the time!”Jun Zinuo looked at Yuan Mingheng sincerely. If he hadn't bumped into Yuan Mingheng here, Jun Zinuo would have forgotten about this matter all the way to Clawa Island.
Xiaoxiao also nodded her head vigorously. She really wanted to thank Yuan Mingheng. If it wasn't for him, Li Jun's life might have been lost. She sincerely wanted to thank him, but Yuan Mingheng was not someone she could meet so easily!
