Chapter 471: Chapter 471: The Toad Wants to Eat Swan Meat

Xia Xue was also caught off guard, but she couldn’t bear to pull away from Zhang Yang’s embrace.

In front of everyone, Zhang Yang held Xia Xue tightly and whispered into her ear, "It was my fault today, did I scare you?"

At that moment, Xia Xue finally confirmed that Zhang Yang had openly opposed Jia Meiren earlier just for her.

Her heart fluttered wildly, feeling as if it was going to melt.

At the same time, she felt a bit guilty because she had almost caused a conflict between Zhang Yang and the Jiang Family.

If that led to retaliation from the Jiang Family, it would truly be too late for regrets.

Liu He watched, dumbfounded, as Zhang Yang embraced a beautiful woman and couldn’t help but admire him, thinking that this was still Jiang Family territory. Zhang Yang was so bold to flirt with another woman, wasn’t he afraid of Jiang Meiren getting angry?

Soon, someone took a photo of them, and it was clear that the purpose was to report to Jiang Meiren.

Zhang Yang didn’t care about these things and gently asked in Xia Xue’s ear, "Will you please not be angry with me?"

Xia Xue gently shook her head, "I’m not angry, I misunderstood you, and I should’ve believed in you unwaveringly because you had already told us before."

Zhang Yang smiled slightly, "As long as you are not angry, let’s go home together later."

"Mm, I’ll listen to you." At that moment, Xia Xue behaved so obediently that Zhang Yang felt an urge to immediately carry her into their room and shower her with love.

Shen Mange watched enviously but did not speak, merely observing quietly.

At this point, Liu Zhendong noticed something amiss, realizing that Zhang Yang seemed to know Xia Xue, and possibly knew Shen Mange as well.

So, what exactly was the relationship between the three?

Just then, Mr. Jiang approached, "What are you doing?"

Mr. Jiang looked displeased; not only had Zhang Yang publicly contradicted his daughter, but now at this banquet, he was openly embracing another woman. How could he tolerate it, was his daughter even in his heart?

Seeing Mr. Jiang’s anger, the crowd took delight in his misfortune.

They all waited to see Zhang Yang’s embarrassment.

Upon hearing the noise, Xia Xue, feeling shy, quickly extricated herself from Zhang Yang’s embrace.

At that moment, it was essential to remain calm, at least not to let anyone misunderstand and ruin what was between Zhang Yang and Jiang Meiren.

Zhang Yang, however, didn’t seem to care much. He looked around, realized Jiang Meiren was not around, and wondered what she was up to, somewhat troubled, he felt he had to explain to Mr. Jiang himself.

"It’s nothing, just a polite hug."

Upon hearing Zhang Yang’s perfunctory explanation, Mr. Jiang was furious.

"A polite hug? I might as well give you two a room so you can hug all you want."

What Mr. Jiang didn’t realize was how delighted Zhang Yang felt upon hearing this.

However, Zhang Yang knew that Mr. Jiang was just speaking out of anger and definitely wouldn’t really prepare a room for them.

"Uncle, you’ve gone a bit too far with that. How about letting Jiang Meiren come back and explain it to you herself?"

Zhang Yang felt that Jiang Meiren used him as a shield, just to deal with these young masters, and probably saw no need to keep any secrets from Mr. Jiang.

However, Mr. Jiang grew even angrier upon hearing what Zhang Yang said.

He had guessed earlier that Zhang Yang might not love his daughter as much. Such a man, no matter how outstanding he might be, would not be approved by him.

However, for his daughter’s sake, Mr. Jiang still asked Zhang Yang seriously, "Young Zhang, I will ask you only one question, do you truly have my daughter in your heart?"

Given his status, he should not have asked such a question at this juncture, for if Zhang Yang’s answer was not what he wanted, it wouldn’t be just Zhang Yang losing face, but the Jiang Family as well.

Zhang Yang slightly furrowed his brows, surprised by how aggressive Mr. Jiang was being.

Jiang Meiren was nowhere to be found at the moment, which was giving Zhang Yang a headache.

After some hesitation, Zhang Yang had no choice but to stick to his promise and gave the best response he could under the circumstances.

"Uncle, of course I like Jiang Meiren. You can rest assured, I will not let her down," he said.

Although this was the answer Mr. Jiang wanted to hear, he wasn’t ready to let Zhang Yang off that easily.

So, he said to Zhang Yang, "If that’s the case, from now on, you are not allowed to have intimate contact with any other woman."

Zhang Yang furrowed his brow slightly, finding the demand a bit excessive.

But to others, Mr. Jiang’s request was not excessive at all, considering the Jiang Family’s prominent social and business standing. They could not tolerate a minor boyfriend tarnishing the Jiang Family’s reputation.

Not to mention that this boyfriend was just an ordinary gynecologist, lacking both a distinguished family background and strong connections.

Even if he were to be with Jiang Meiren in the future, it would be through marrying into the Jiang family, and he would naturally have to meet the Jiang Family’s expectations.

A son-in-law who comes through marriage has to have the resolve of one.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhang Yang was seen as greatly benefitting from this association. It was as if he had flown up to a branch and transformed into a phoenix.

Yet, in Zhang Yang’s view, Mr. Jiang was overstepping his boundaries.

Nevertheless, Zhang Yang suppressed his anger, "Uncle, perhaps we should wait for Jiang Meiren to return before discussing this further."

Mr. Jiang could certainly sense his daughter’s fondness for Zhang Yang and feared that once Jiang Meiren returned, he would likely find it difficult to make things hard for Zhang Yang.

Therefore, Mr. Jiang also took this opportunity to firmly establish control over Zhang Yang, at least for his beloved daughter’s happiness, ensuring she wouldn’t be wronged.

Xia Xue looked at Zhang Yang with some worry, understanding that if it weren’t for his urgency to explain himself to her, he probably wouldn’t have embraced her like this in such a public setting.

Thus, Xia Xue also felt guilty, realizing that she might have really acted immaturely this time.

"Uncle Jiang, I think I need to make it clear to you, my relationship with your daughter is a love of our own choosing. If you disagree, I wouldn’t force it."

Zhang Yang gave up pretending altogether, having done all that he should. The deal with Jiang Meiren should suffice at this point.

However, what Zhang Yang did not know was that, to Mr. Jiang, these words were proof of his lack of love.

"It appears you do not have much genuine love for my daughter. If that’s the case, then you can leave our Jiang family," Mr. Jiang said.

Nobody expected the situation to take such a drastic turn, especially since just moments before Zhang Yang was being held in high regard by Jiang Meiren.

Now, Mr. Jiang had dismissed him outright.

Chen Wenhao, who hadn’t left yet, was immediately overjoyed, having waited for this moment eagerly.

"Uncle Jiang, I always said, a marriage should match in social status. Some people are just toads lusting after swan meat," he exclaimed.
