Chapter 1421: The Annoyed Jiang Family
“Is that so?” Ye Hao said nonchalantly. “He’s just doing things as he wishes.”
He Xiyan moved to sit beside her husband once again.
They sat side by side.
“Let’s spend some more time observing him. We shouldn’t misunderstand his intentions. After all, he has courted Xi Xi for seven years, so I’m sure he has feelings for her,” she said.
She didn’t want to tear the couple apart and more importantly, she didn’t want this to drive a wedge in her relationship with her daughter.
Ye Hao wrapped an arm around his wife’s shoulder and pulled her into his arms.

Jiang Cheng drove out of the Ye castle quickly and ignored all traffic rules as he sped home. He was even speeding on a couple of occasions.
His thick brows were knitted into a deep frown and he seemed very troubled. His eyes were full of annoyance and displeasure.
It was past nine by the time he arrived home and he saw his mother seated in the living room the moment he pushed open the door. They seemed to have been waiting for him to come home.
Wang Min and Jiang Zhentao seemed quickly upset and their displeasure and fury were clearly reflected on their ashen faces/
“Ah Cheng, come over here,” Wang Min said to her son.
Jiang Cheng immediately went over and sat besides his mother.
His mood deteriorated when he saw the displeasure and fury on his parent’s faces.
He frowned and his eyes blazed with silent fury.
He knew why his parents seemed so upset and also knew what his parents had been through earlier at the Ye castle.
“Dad, mom…” he said hoarsely.
Wang Min sighed and she was still angry after her experience at the Ye castle earlier.
“Ah Cheng, I’ve already sent you a text message explaining everything that had happened earlier at the Ye castle. Let’s forget about this entirely. Ye Hao clearly looks down on our family, so there isn’t a need for us to try to ingratiate ourselves with this family,” she said.
Wang Min’s face was flushed red with fury.
The Ye family had gone too far and they didn’t even treat them seriously just because the Ye family was a powerful and rich family.
Jiang Zhentao’s face was pale and his tightly knitted brows was a clear indication of how upset he was.
He pointed at his son who was almost an exact replica of himself and said, “I agree with your mother. You should break up with Ye Zixi if the Ye family doesn’t support this match.”
He was most angered by Ye Hao’s statement of not wanting to marry his daughter off but instead, he announced that he was looking for a live-in son-in-law. This was an outright rejection, so he didn’t dare insist on Ye Hao to agree to the match.
Jiang Cheng heard his parents’ complaints as he sat in the corner and stared at the tea table nearby. He didn’t speak for a long while.
Wang Min tugged at his clothes.
“Ah Cheng, why aren’t you responding? Did you hear what I said?” she asked.
Wang Min thought that her son was behaving oddly as he stood in the corner without moving an inch.
Jiang Cheng lifted his head and looked at his parents.
He sighed softly and his lips curved upwards into an enigmatic smile.
“Dad, mom, what are you talking about? Why would I break up with Xi Xi when we’re going to have a child?” he asked.
Wang Min said, “But the Ye family has made it clear that they aren’t going to marry their daughter off. Didn’t I tell you that Ye Hao wants to have a live-in son-in-law?”
Wang Min’s face turned even redder and even her ears turned red.
She was furious at the thought of Ye Hao wanting to have a live-in son-in-law.
Jiang Cheng smiled awkwardly.
“Mom, calm down. Mr. Ye might just be cracking a joke,” he said.
Wang Min scoffed and said, “He definitely wasn’t joking and he seemed very serious to be me. You should ask your dad if you doubt my words.”
