Chapter 1985: Chapter 1986: The Ultimate Trump Card
How long has it been since we stopped him? At first, everyone talked big about not wanting their precious girl, whom they just managed to find, to be easily taken away by others. But when it came down to it, everyone was pretty useless. The younger one held him back for ten minutes, the older one didn’t fare much better, probably lasting less than twenty minutes.
She rolled up her sleeves, her beautiful face determined, as she pressed Rong Yan’s shoulder with a steady look, "Don’t worry, your mom’s here. Mom won’t just open the door for him!"
On the wedding day, when the groom goes to the bride’s home to pick up the bride, the bride’s family has to put on a show of ’blocking’ them. The longer they can keep them out, the more it shows how much the family doesn’t want to give away their daughter, and they can also test if the groom truly wants to marry their daughter.
Jiang Chenyue knew Rong Yan liked Li Shengxiao, and she knew they couldn’t possibly be separated. She initially planned to hold them until 11:30 before letting them go, but who knew that the two men in her own family were so useless? At 10 o’clock, both barriers outside had been breached by the son-in-law, leaving only her as the last line of defense.
Her eyes were steady, and not giving Rong Yan a chance to speak, she patted her on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Don’t speak, I know you want to speak for him. Mom understands, don’t worry. I won’t make it too difficult for him, but he needs to know that our daughter is not so easily married off!"
"..."
Rong Yan broke into a cold sweat for a certain someone in her heart. Jiang Chenyue was determined, and after trying to speak up a few times in vain, she had to give up, anxiously watching the door, constantly monitoring the situation outside.
After calming her down, Jiang Chenyue walked over to the door and said to Gu Linxi and others, "Wait here and hold the door shut, don’t pay attention to them when they ask to open it, I’ll talk to them."
Su Xiansui and Lin Wan were just called over to add to the numbers. They weren’t familiar with Rong Yan, but due to Jiang Chenyue’s face, they agreed with a smile.
"Okay, Aunt Chu."
"Don’t worry, Madame Chu. We won’t open the door casually."
Only Su Xiansui agreed outwardly but felt bitter inside, full of envy and jealousy.
Alas, there was no one inside the house paying attention to her, even Qi Yue was nervously following behind Jiang Chenyue, waiting for the knock on the door.
"Knock, knock." Finally, someone knocked on the door from outside.
Jiang Chenyue let out a cold laugh and said loudly, "Who’s knocking? I’m not opening!"
Outside, Li Shengxiao heard the indifferent refusal from inside. He glanced down at the person in charge of knocking, and smiled, "Call him."
Little Baby was also wearing a suit today, with a small white shirt under a black coat, looking just like a mini version of someone.
He turned back to hear the neighbor’s instructions, puckering his lips, reluctantly knocking again with a childlike voice, "Beautiful Grandma, it’s me."
He paused for a moment and then raised his hand to lean on the door, knocking, "Beautiful Grandma, please open the door, I miss you."
Cui Jiangjing clicked his tongue, amazed at the sweetness of his words, wondering whom he took after.
Sure enough, there was a brief silence in the room, followed by a commotion, and soon after, Jiang Chenyue’s voice came through, "Uh, Little, Duidui, how are you outside?"
The tone was much softer now, with a bit of unexpected panic.
Li Duidui understandingly looked at the door, speaking in a pitiful voice, "It’s so cold outside, Beautiful Grandma, please open the door, I want to come in."
"Grandma also doesn’t want you to be cold, but today..."
Little Baby quickly took advantage and called sweetly, "Grandma, I miss you so much, and I miss mom too. Please open the door so I can see you and mom, okay?"
