55: Chapter 55 My Flash Marriage Partner Won't Divorce Me (3)
Seeing their grandson walk down holding Jiang Wan's hand, and even adjusting his pace to match hers, the two elders were immensely satisfied.
Look at these two, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, what a perfect match!
Grandmother Ouyang saw Jiang Wan and kindly raised her hand to beckon her over.
"Wanwan, you're up. Come over here and sit by Grandmother."
Jiang Wan had been a little nervous, as she had slept in quite late, which in the eyes of some elders was considered poor behavior.
She hadn't expected Grandmother Ouyang to not mind at all and to look at her with such kindness.
Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, her steps becoming lighter as she walked over.
Ouyang Yixuan also noticed this and looked at Jiang Wan with a smile in his eyes.
He had just been earnestly trying to persuade Jiang Wan to relax, but it hadn't worked at all. He hadn't expected that a single sentence and a smile from his grandmother would be enough to put her at ease.
Seeing Jiang Wan walk over, Ouyang Yixuan followed her pace and went to sit beside her.
After sitting down, Jiang Wan greeted them politely.
"Hello, Grandfather. Hello, Grandmother. I apologize for coming down late today."
Old Master Ouyang nodded with a smile and continued reading his newspaper.
Grandmother Ouyang looked at her ethereal granddaughter-in-law with a beaming smile, unable to stop grinning.
Just look, how beautiful her granddaughter-in-law is; one look is enough to make anyone unable to look away.
It was a good thing she had urged the old man to honor this engagement; otherwise, they would have missed out on such a beautiful granddaughter-in-law.
She had said so, hadn't she? With such a great beauty by his side, would her monk-like grandson not be interested?
Last night, to ensure everything went smoothly, Grandmother Ouyang had brewed a bowl of tonic soup for her grandson. Besides nourishing his body, it also had another purpose.
Look, look, the plan was flawless, wasn't it? These two really did consummate their relationship!
While feeling happy, Grandmother Ouyang also felt a bit sorry for Jiang Wan.
After all, she was such a delicate girl, and her grandson was reckless and heavy-handed, causing the poor girl to suffer so much that she couldn't even get up in the morning.
Hearing Jiang Wan's apology, Grandmother Ouyang waved her hand. "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. This is your own home, so sleep as long as you like. It's no problem at all. Besides, you sleeping in isn't your fault. It's all this rascal's fault for being reckless and causing you to suffer. Grandmother has already instructed the kitchen to prepare some medicinal meals to help you recover."
The implication was that they all knew why Jiang Wan couldn't get up!
The fact that the elders knew why she had slept in made Jiang Wan feel very embarrassed.
As Grandmother Ouyang spoke, she patted Ouyang Yixuan, who was beside her. "Wanwan, if this guy makes you unhappy, just tell Grandmother, and I'll discipline him for you."
Ouyang Yixuan rubbed the arm that his grandmother had hit and said, sounding wronged, "Grandmother, what are you saying? Am I the kind of person who bullies women?"
But if it meant bullying in bed, then he would admit it—and he would admit it without any remorse, intending to continue next time.
Seeing Jiang Wan blush, he knew she was embarrassed. Ouyang Yixuan changed the subject. "Alright, Grandmother, stop talking. It's already noon, time to eat, right? Don't you have a habit of taking an afternoon nap? If we don't eat now, we'll miss the time."
Grandmother Ouyang smiled and tapped her grandson with her finger, then pulled Jiang Wan up. This rascal, his intentions were too obvious; he was just worried his wife would go hungry.
"Come on, Wanwan, let's go eat. It's just us for lunch today. When the others in the family return tonight, Grandmother will introduce them to you one by one."
Jiang Wan also knew that her situation with Ouyang Yixuan was very rushed, so she nodded obediently. "Okay, Grandmother, I understand."
At the long dining table, the chef had prepared many dishes. Jiang Wan noticed that most of them were things she liked to eat.
According to Grandmother Ouyang's explanation, they had specifically asked her own grandparents and then had the chef prepare them.
Jiang Wan felt valued and thanked them with a smile.
After the meal, Grandmother Ouyang felt sorry for Jiang Wan and told her to go back to her room to rest properly, while she herself went back to her room for an afternoon nap.
As for Ouyang Yixuan? Of course, he really wanted to go back to the room with his wife. However, although he wasn't working, there were still some matters he needed to handle, so he could only regretfully head to the study.
In the evening, most of the Ouyang Family returned. Ouyang Yixuan also had a pair of younger fraternal twin siblings, Ouyang Muqing and Ouyang Yijie, who were both in their second year of high school this year.
Old Master Ouyang and Old Mrs. Ouyang had two sons and one daughter. Ouyang Yixuan's father was the second son, while his uncle was in politics, so the heavy responsibility of the company could only fall on Ouyang Yixuan's father.
Ouyang's uncle only had one daughter, who was away on a business trip and didn't come. Ouyang Yixuan's wedding was a major family event, so he had taken the time to return with his wife.
Ouyang's Eldest Aunt had married into the capital. Upon hearing that her mother was not in good health and that she had found a wife for her nephew, she immediately packed her things and returned.
With so many relatives present, Jiang Wan was poised and graceful as she greeted the elders one by one.
Seeing Jiang Wan's demeanor and behavior, the other elders of the Ouyang Family were very satisfied.
Ouyang Muqing and Ouyang Yijie were also very satisfied with their new sister-in-law. They felt that this new sister-in-law was much prettier than Xu Zhizhi, and also younger.
Jiang Wan suddenly became wealthy just from receiving welcome gifts. Her parents-in-law gave her a set of valuable jewelry and a bank card with an unknown amount of savings inside.
Ouyang's uncle and Eldest Aunt, as well as his Eldest Aunt, also gave her bank cards, telling Jiang Wan to spend as she pleased.
Jiang Wan muttered to herself, is this how all wealthy families are? Do they all like giving bank cards?
Seeing that most of the family was present, they discussed that since they had already registered their marriage, the wedding should also be put on the agenda.
There happened to be an auspicious date next month, so the wedding was set for next month.
Ouyang Yixuan had no objections to this. Since he was already with Jiang Wan, it was only right to give her a grand wedding.
Jiang Wan felt that for a family like theirs, not holding a wedding would be unjustifiable; it was a matter of face, after all. She just wondered if there was a wedding in the original plot!
However, she could only cooperate now; this matter held no disadvantages for her.
While the family was enjoying their time together, the butler arrived, saying that Xu Zhizhi from the Xu Family and her husband were outside, asking to pay a visit to the Old Master and Old Mrs. Ouyang, and asking if they should be invited in.
Everyone wondered, why was Xu Zhizhi here?
Old Mrs. Ouyang thought for a moment and nodded. No matter how much she disliked Xu Zhizhi, the Old Mrs. Xu was her friend, and she had to give her that much face.
Xu Zhizhi had returned to her maiden home for a meal with her husband today and heard from her grandmother that Ouyang Yixuan's fiancée had arrived and was now staying at the Ouyang Family.
Naturally, Xu Zhizhi was curious about this fiancée of Ouyang Yixuan, whom she had only heard of but never seen.
But Xu Zhizhi didn't think Ouyang Yixuan would like that woman; after all, she had never seen Ouyang Yixuan or anyone else from the Ouyang Family go to find her.
However, she was very curious about this woman—curious about what kind of woman this fiancée was, and why she had never visited all these years?
That was the Ouyang Family, after all. Shouldn't someone getting married into the Ouyang Family be more proactive? Should they not visit frequently?
Xu Zhizhi was curious to the extreme about Ouyang Yixuan's fiancée, so she brought her husband along to take a look.
As soon as Xu Zhizhi entered, she greeted everyone sweetly. Then, her gaze fell on Jiang Wan, who was sitting quietly beside Ouyang's mother.
What a girl she was! Her skin was fair and glowing, and she possessed a naturally gifted face. Her eyebrows were dark without being drawn, and her lips were red without lipstick. Wearing a white chiffon dress, she looked just like an angel fallen into the mortal world.
Xu Zhizhi was stunned. Could this be Ouyang Yixuan's legendary fiancée?
She had originally thought this fiancée was plain-looking and unpresentable, which was why she hadn't appeared for so many years. She hadn't expected her to be so beautiful; it was truly unexpected.
Jiang Wan nodded politely to Xu Zhizhi, acknowledging her as a greeting.
Jiang Wan was also sizing up this female lead. Someone capable of being a female lead must definitely be good-looking. However, Jiang Wan felt that she herself was prettier.
The female lead's skin wasn't as fair or as good as hers, and her figure couldn't compare to hers at all.
Jiang Wan also specifically looked at Ouyang Yixuan and found that he wasn't paying attention to Xu Zhizhi, his gaze remaining fixed on her.
Jiang Wan nodded with satisfaction. No matter what he was thinking inside, he was able to save face for her in front of outsiders, which was quite good.
Xu Zhizhi asked Ouyang Yixuan blankly, "Brother Yixuan, is this your fiancée?"
Before Ouyang Yixuan could answer, Ouyang's mother said with a smile, "Zhizhi, you're mistaken. Not fiancée, but wife! Wanwan and Yixuan registered their marriage yesterday. The wedding is set for next month; you are welcome to attend then!"
Xu Zhizhi looked at Ouyang Yixuan in astonishment. "You're getting married?"
Seeing the disbelief in Xu Zhizhi's eyes, Ouyang's Eldest Aunt laughed from the side. "Of course, Zhizhi. What are you saying? Their marriage engagement has been set for such a long time, so now is naturally the time for them to get married. You see, you're already married, even earlier than our Yixuan. At Yixuan's age, it's only natural for him to marry too. Look at them, aren't they a perfect match? It was all thanks to our Old Master's discerning eye that he chose such an excellent fiancée for our Yixuan."
Then, Ouyang's Eldest Aunt happily said to Ouyang Yixuan, "Yixuan, you must thank your grandfather properly. If it weren't for your grandfather, you wouldn't have such a beautiful wife. You know to be filial to your grandfather, right?"
After speaking, Ouyang's Eldest Aunt looked at Xu Zhizhi with a triumphant expression. Really, did she think her nephew couldn't get married without her?
Not to mention Old Mrs. Ouyang, even Ouyang's Eldest Aunt didn't like her; she felt Xu Zhizhi was too pretentious.
Hearing his Eldest Aunt's words, Ouyang Yixuan nodded solemnly. "I know, Eldest Aunt. I am also very grateful to Grandfather for allowing me to marry Wanwan."
After speaking, Ouyang Yixuan reached out and took Jiang Wan's hand. With the elders watching, Jiang Wan was extremely embarrassed and tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't.
The elders saw this and all smiled kindly.
Xu Zhizhi saw this and felt like she had been struck by lightning. Didn't Brother Ouyang like her? But why was he looking at another girl so tenderly? That was the first time she had seen that look... Could it be that her feelings all along had been wrong?
The smile on Xu Zhizhi's face stiffened. Seeing their family enjoying themselves so happily, she couldn't stay there any longer. She could only say a few polite words before leaving with her husband.
As for Xu Zhizhi's departure, Ouyang Yixuan didn't even blink an eye.
