Chapter 1038: Chapter 1039: Can’t Match Up
ng Chaojun suddenly stood up.
He looked at Chiang Xiao, so shocked that he didn’t know what to say for a mont.
But it had to be said, Chiang Xiao’s appearance was completely beyond his expectations.
Not to ntion her beauty, just her deanor alone.
He had originally thought that the country girl would have one of two types of appearances.
One was simple enough but quite old-fashioned, plus a bit dull, with no understanding of etiquette, nervous and awkward around people of their class, not knowing what to do with her hands and feet.
The other was uneducated, wild and crazy, lacking any concept of propriety or self-respect, giving off an iffy vibe.
He naturally disliked both types and felt that no matter what, she wouldn’t match up to Xinian, wouldn’t match up to the ng Family!
So he had always opposed this arranged marriage.
But now!
The girl he saw was standing there with grace, her gaze clear and calm, like a quietly blooming plum in the snow or a lotus in the water.
Neither servile nor overbearing. An extraordinary deanor.
“This, this is, that…” He was at a loss for words for a mont.
Too surprised.
“Hello Uncle, nice to et you for the first ti, I am Chiang Xiao.”
Chiang Xiao thought about it but still did not call him dad.
In their village, if a betrothal had been arranged, it was permissible to call each other’s parents as mom and dad. But this place was not the village.
Moreover, she knew that she had not yet received the approval of ng Chaojun.
Now she really couldn’t say it.
“Your na is Chiang Xiao? Xiao Chiang?” ng Chaojun looked at her, still sowhat incredulous.
“Yes.”
“Little has been betrothed to Xinian, and was recently chosen by the school to study at Elite Middle School. I brought her ho, and from now on, she’ll be part of the family,” Old ng said happily, “Little, you ntioned that the school requires boarding, so you can co ho on weekends. It will make the house much livelier!”
He thought ng Chaojun had already accepted Chiang Xiao, and, delighted, he wanted to imdiately call Xinian to let him know that his future daughter-in-law had already recognized the family.
However, ng Chaojun’s expression quickly darkened.
“Dad, can you please stop ssing around? Engaged? When was this decided? How co I didn’t know?”
“Would you have agreed if you had known at that ti? Anyway, they’ve been engaged for three years,” Old ng said indifferently.
ng Chaojun glanced at Chiang Xiao.
Although at first he was really surprised and even a bit taken aback by her deanor, after calming down, the disparity between their two families’ circumstances was still there, incompatible as ever.
“Three years ago? Chiang Xiao, let
ask you, how old are you this year?” He thought she looked quite young.
“Sixteen,” Chiang Xiao said calmly.
ng Chaojun found it even more absurd.
“Only sixteen this year, engaged three years ago, wasn’t that at thirteen? Isn’t that ridiculous?” ng Chaojun said sternly, “If this gets out, whose reputation will it benefit?”
Old ng realized sothing was amiss.
ng Chaojun was still not agreeing?
His expression also darkened.
“The engagent was made when they were children, they were betrothed as fiancés and fiancées even when they were little. What’s wrong with getting engaged at thirteen?”
“Of course it’s not okay. Dad, that child betrothal was just a joke of yours from the past. Anyone with a bit of self-awareness would not take it seriously! Did that Mr. Chiang from the countryside actually take it seriously? And even ca here to solidify this marriage arrangent?” ng Chaojun frowned, “Anyhow, I have no good feelings toward soone who’s eager to push a minor girl forward as a stepping stone.”
