Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 35 Part 2 - Heir

Chapter 35 Part 2: Heir

They had only walked halfway when they came face to face with a man.
Since when was there a male in the Jiang family’s backyard? Jiang Li halted her footsteps so there was quite a good distance to separate her from the man. The man also observed the etiquette and no longer advanced.
Jiang Li moved to the side to take another route yet that man suddenly opened his mouth and softly said: “Second miss?”
Second miss? His tone… he seemed to be familiar with her. Jiang Li looked sideways at the man.
The man appeared to be 17 or 18 years of age, his whole body was dressed in a rosin-colored long gown made of delicate material. His hair was bound together with a jade hairpin and his body was like jade, appearing outstandingly handsome and talented. A totally beautiful male, his temperament was significantly quiet and refined, his gaze moved as he looked at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li fixed her attention on him. Perhaps the expression in her eyes showed too much unfamiliarity, making the man feel somewhat embarrassed. He hesitated for a bit before speaking: “Perhaps second miss doesn’t remember, I1 am Zhou Yan Bang.”
Zhou Yan Bang? Jiang Lu suddenly realized. Tong’er by her side even nearly cried out loud.
It turned out to be Marquis Ningyuan’s heir, Zhou Yan Bang. When she was still Xue Fang Fei, she often heard the name of this person through her sister-in-law’s lips, though she never met the person. She only knew that he was a jade and wind-like beautiful man. Now as Jiang Li, Zhou Yan Bang was actually her ex-fiancee. This was really rather laughable.
Jiang Li paused before greeting: “Heir.”
A very normal tone without any excitement or any complicated feelings. So simple, as if treating a stranger on the street.
Zhou Yan Bang was somewhat surprised.
He knew about his marriage agreement with Jiang Li since he was young. He wasn’t sensible then and didn’t feel anything much. Afterwards, due to Jiang Li’s matter of plotting to harm his stepmother, she was sent to the Buddhist nunnery. At that time. Zhou Yan Bang constantly heard his parents mention whether they should withdraw from this marriage agreement or not. But at the end his fiancee was somehow replaced by Jiang You Yao.
Zhou Yan Bang had seen Jiang You Yao, a dainty and pleasant girl, pure and lovely young lady. He was very satisfied with Jiang You Yao and had no objection to this marriage.
However, today he came to participate in Jiang You Yao’s birthday ceremony and saw Jiang Li, who he hadn’t seen for many years.
Pertaining his memory of Jiang Li, Zhou Yan Bang merely remembered a chubby girl with a bad temper. However during the birthday ceremony, Jiang Li’s appearance had caused ripples in his heart.
Jiang You Yao was like a delicate and fine gem, suitable for being in the house. Yet Jiang Li’s noble poise and elegance resembled the brightly shining moonlight in the sky, in sight but unattainable.
Zhou Yan Bang had been watching Jiang Li attentively from the beginning from among the male guests. He saw Jiang Li being criticized by everyone, then neither hurriedly nor slowly turn the tide, raising his appreciation. Zhou Yan Bang was pleasantly surprised to have met her by accident in the backyard of the Jiang residence at this time.
This had made Zhou Yan Bang somewhat disappointed.
Probably the more something was unattainable, the better it was. Jiang Li being unfamiliar with him like this had made Zhou Yan Bang’s heart undulate. He thought, a few days ago he had clearly heard how Jiang Li was so broken-hearted upon learning of Jiang You Yao and his marriage arrangement that she jumped into the lake. Thinking about it now, maybe the news at that time caused injury to Jiang Li, that was why she was treating him so coldly now.
Perhaps he should have a chat with his father and discuss this marriage again. Zhou Yan Ban had this thought and again looked at Jiang Li as if he was looking at his fiancée.
Jiang Li frowned slightly, Zhou Yan Bang’s gaze while looking at her didn’t have the slightest unfamiliarity. When she was Xue Fang Fei, even after she had married Shen Yurong, there were still a lot of gazes like this looking at her.
It was disgusting.
She had no wish to talk with Zhou Yan Bang. Although she had become Jiang second miss, she didn’t want to have any relation with this person. Jiang Li was about to leave when she suddenly heard a tender shout from behind: “brother heir!”
Jiang Li’s teeth almost ached from this shout. She turned her body to see Jiang You Yao run over with tiny steps. In one breath she had reached Zhou Yan Bang’s side. She raised her head and smiled: “Brother heir, second sister, what are you talking about so happily?”
Although she was smiling, her gaze as she looked at Jiang Li was just like catching a couple having an affair, an ominous glint was revealed in her eyes.
