Besides that, there were two young people in the room, one was the son of Jiang’s second uncle, Jiang Kefei, around 22 or 23 years old, apparently just graduated from university, currently imrsed in playing with a gaming device.
Another was a stylishly dressed girl, the daughter of Jiang’s third uncle, Jiang Lingling, who was attending college, though not a very prestigious one, currently flipping through a fashion magazine intently.
Perhaps because her parents were businesspeople, Jiang Lingling was rather fond of vanity, and she always despised the poor and loved the rich.
In her previous life, Wan Chu’er had suffered a lot of sarcasm from Jiang Lingling.
There was also the family of Aunt Jiang, which was a complicated story in itself.
Wan Chu’er was quite relieved that Jiang Kechu’s parents and sister were decent people.
Otherwise, she would really need to reconsider carefully.
She had grown up in a simple household, not adept nor fond of dealing with complicated familial dynamics.
Seeing Mrs. Jiang leading a beautiful and delicate girl into the room, everyone understood that she was the main character today.
Everyone looked over, Grandpa Jiang still had a stern face, and Grandma Jiang was still lost in her own world.
Second Uncle Jiang and Third Uncle Jiang both had the smiles typical of elder relatives, Jiang Kefei, seeing Wan Chu’er, flashed a hint of astonishnt in his eyes, thinking that his cousin was really impressive, the forr girlfriend was already pretty, but this one was even more stunning.
Jiang Lingling first sized up Wan Chu’er’s outfit from head to toe.
Very nice, the latest small leather shoes from VAX, a suit from Xiang’s, and a leather bag from QUEEN.
After sizing her up, Jiang Lingling’s face showed a sincere smile, thinking that she could go shopping with her new cousin-in-law in the future.
Businessman Third Uncle Jiang spoke first: "This must be Kechu’s girlfriend, Wan Chu’er, not bad at all, clearly not an ordinary person, I heard she is also a top student from the first university, welco, welco to our Jiang Family’s ho, no need to be formal here, just make yourself comfortable as if it’s your own ho."
Hehe, it seems he really doesn’t see himself as just a guest, very comfortable indeed.
Father Jiang, without making a fuss, just smiled and said: "Xiao Chu is here."
Wan Chu’er then smiled and said: "Hello, uncle."
Jiang Kechu put down his things, ca over, and without a fuss, brought her into his personal space, took her hand, and said with a smile:
"Let introduce you to our family."
"This is my Grandpa, this is my Grandma."
Wan Chu’er politely greeted Mr. Jiang: "Hello Grandpa Jiang, hello Grandma Jiang."
Hearing Wan Chu’er’s crisp and polite words, Grandpa Jiang’s stern face finally softened a bit, nodded, grunted, and then reached behind himself and fumbled for a while, pulling out a red envelope.
"Here, this is a little sothing from Grandma Jiang and ."
This was her first visit and gift; Wan Chu’er didn’t hesitate and took it with both hands, "Thank you, Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang."
Grandma Jiang suddenly looked over at her, stunned for a mont, seemingly trying to recall who this beautiful girl was, after thinking for a while, she suddenly mischievously winked at Wan Chu’er.
Wan Chu’er was montarily startled and then winked back at her.
Grandma Jiang was now suffering from dentia, her expressions not very clear.
Beside her, Jiang Kechu tightened his grip on her hand, nodded at Wan Chu’er, and then led her towards Father Jiang and Mother Jiang.
"My parents, you’ve t them."
Wan Chu’er still smiled and said: "Hello uncle, hello Aunt, sorry to disturb you by coming over."
Mrs. Jiang laughed: "We’ve been hoping for your visit, how could it be a disturbance, here, take this, this is from your uncle and too," and gave Wan Chu’er another big red envelope.
Having received two big red envelopes in a row, Third Aunt Jiang felt a bit jealous, wanting to say sothing, but seeing her own husband’s beaming face, she held back.
Then it was the turn of Second Uncle Jiang’s and Third Uncle Jiang’s family. Both families gave Wan Chu’er a red envelope, but they felt thinner compared to the first two.
At last, Wan Chu’er got acquainted with Jiang Kefei and Jiang Lingling.
When Jiang Kefei talked to Wan Chu’er, he was a bit shy and hurriedly said, "Hello."
As for Jiang Lingling, she couldn’t wait to grab Wan Chu’er’s hand and said affectionately,
"Is that outfit you’re wearing bought from the flagship store in Dajiang City? I was a step late and didn’t manage to buy it."
In reality, her parents controlled her allowance and didn’t agree to buy such expensive clothes for her.
"And this little bag, I’ve been liking it for a long ti after seeing it in a magazine, can I touch it?" Jiang Lingling’s eyes lit up as she stared at her bag.
Wan Chu’er: "..."
It was really surprising that the normally haughty Jiang Lingling was being so ingratiating and enthusiastic towards her.
Jiang Xiaoxiao imdiately ca to her rescue, "Lingling, you’re being..."
Wan Chu’er interrupted Jiang Xiaoxiao, smiled gently, and handed the bag to Jiang Lingling,
"Go ahead and touch, but I have so personal items inside, so please don’t peek inside."
While she appeared to accommodate Jiang Lingling’s request, she tactfully set a boundary, not spoiling the mood but also letting Jiang Lingling know she wouldn’t be pushed around.
Mrs. Jiang beckoned, "Chuchu, co sit over here."
She had noticed Jiang Lingling’s behavior and wanted to keep Wan Chu’er safely beside her.
Wan Chu’er smiled and took Jiang Kechu’s hand, sweetly saying, "It’s my first visit here, and I’ve prepared so little gifts for everyone, I hope you all will like them."
On hearing about gifts, Third Aunt Jiang and Second Aunt Jiang’s eyes lit up, happily saying, "This child, so polite."
They thought Wan Chu’er would be lavish, but they were mistaken.
She rembered their indifference towards her in her previous life, and Wan Chu’er wasn’t going to actually prepare anything valuable for them, it would just feel suffocating.
She would not be so foolish.
"Grandpa Jiang, this is the tea that my grandfather sent you." Wan Chu’er brought out the tea that Old Sir Zhong had prepared.
Second Uncle Jiang imdiately widened his eyes, swallowing his saliva and said, "This is good tea, dad, let see this tea."
He worked in an office and recognized good teas; he seed to have seen this tea in his departnt head’s precious collection, which his boss cherished a lot.
Mr. Jiang grunted unhappily but still passed the tea to his second son, turned to Wan Chu’er and smiled, "Please thank your grandfather for ."
Wan Chu’er smiled and handed a box to Grandma Jiang.
"This is a gift I prepared for Grandma Jiang."
Grandma Jiang looked indifferently at her hand, not knowing to take the gift; Grandpa Jiang took it saying, "Your grandma is a bit confused, don’t take it to heart."
Then Wan Chu’er handed out the other gifts to the rest of the Jiang Family.
Mrs. Jiang got a cashre shawl, Second Aunt Jiang and Third Aunt Jiang got silk scarves; Father Jiang, being a military man, received a health box, Second Uncle Jiang and Third Uncle Jiang each got a tie.
Jiang Lingling received a bracelet, Jiang Kefei got a ga controller, and Jiang Xiaoxiao received a pearl necklace.
She considered everyone in her gifts; besides the expensive tea for Mr. Jiang, the gifts for Father Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, and Jiang Xiaoxiao were thoughtful, the others were rely ceremonial.
However, as the junior of the family and since it was her first visit, considering everyone was a comndable feat, everyone would only complint her manners and upbringing.
No one would criticize her, although Third Aunt Jiang looked enviously at the cashre shawl in Mrs. Jiang’s hands a few tis, and Jiang Lingling scrutinized Jiang Xiaoxiao’s pearl necklace more finely.
This made Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Xiaoxiao frown a few tis, finding Third Aunt Jiang and her daughter embarrassingly shaless.
