Sweet Beauty

Chapter 184 - Don't Call Yourself A Phoenix Just Because You're Wearing The Skin Of A Pheasant



"You!" Liao Yan was so angry that her face turned livid and her eyes widened. "Han Yuanjun, is this your true color? Don't think that you are so extraordinary. If our Jiang didn't want you, no one else would want you!"

"Yes, yes." Han Yuanjun nodded. "I'm not a good person, to begin with. I'm a bastard and unscrupulous, so I have to ask Miss Jiang to let this bad guy go. There are so many good men waiting for her, so the two of you don't have to appear in front of me to make my girlfriend misunderstand."

"Oh no." Han Yuanjun suddenly stopped and looked at Liang Zixuan, who was in his arms with a soft smile. "Not my girlfriend but my fiancée."

Liang Zixuan held back her laughter and said nothing. She even winked mischievously at him.

Tian Qihua was happy to see her son and her daughter-in-law being so intimate. She realized that her son had indeed chosen the right one.

Sure enough, Liao Yan was so angry that her chest was heaving up and down. Her face turned green and red, making her look even worse.

The person who brought them here was Han Xiwang and he could not see them being humiliated by his own family.

Han Xiwang immediately frowned and said unhappily, "Jun, what's wrong with you?  Liao Yan is your elder. Don't you know how to respect her?"

Han Yuanjun chuckled, "I don't respect elders who don't know their place. It can't be that just because she is my elder, you expect me to agree to her unreasonable demand?"

Ever since Jiang Ning had returned to her home country, she had been telling everyone that she wanted to marry into the Han Family, thus forcing Han Yuanjun to submit because of her reputation.

However, since he didn't want to play that game, Liao Yan brought her daughter to the Han Residence to fawn over Old Madam Han.

This kind of person was even more annoying than sticky candy on one's body!

Liao Yan was angered to death by Han Yuanjun. She pulled Jiang Ning's hand and stood up. "Ning, let's go. Why should we waste our time here anymore? Mom will find someone better for you, we don't need to care about this Han Family!"

Jiang Ning's butt was glued firmly to the leather sofa, she raised her head and looked at Liao Yan with red eyes. "Mom, I'm not leaving!"

Liao Yan was so angry that she almost died. "Han Yuanjun had already humiliated you like this and you still don't want to leave? He didn't even give me a face, so I can't help you anymore! Besides, he is about getting engaged today, don't tell me you still want to watch the occasion?"

"Woo...Woo …" Jiang Ning burst into tears. "Mom, I don't care! I want to marry Han Yuanjun! Liang Zixuan isn't worthy of him at all!"

She wanted to see how the people of the Han Family would treat the women chosen by Han Yuanjun, and now those people defending Liang Zixuan, how can she swallow this down?

"It's Miss Jiang, right?" Luo Yanyun sat up straight, her aura not at all inferior to Old Madam Han. "It's your business if you want to marry Han Yuanjun, but you can't say that to my granddaughter. Zixuan is not worthy of Xiao Han? My family is not a family that can be looked down upon. If it weren't for my husband dying earlier, my family wouldn't be in a very bad situation now."

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, then let out a disdainful laugh. "Tch! What kind of bird is your husband? You still have the face to talk about this?"

Luo Yanyun calmly glanced at Qiao Hongya and smiled. "My husband's name is Liang Boqin, he was also a famous pianist in the country at that time. My husband's family was one of the rich and well-known families in the Qing Dynasty. During the revolution, the Liang Family donated everything from our family's wealth to resist the Japanese. It's just that my husband died early, leaving my daughter and me behind. Although our family has deteriorated, we still cannot be looked down upon by people like you!"

Liang Family!

Don't even mention Old Man Han knowing about the Liang Family, even Liao Yan knew about it.

During the battle back then, the Liang Family had used all their manpower, material, and financial resources in order to protect the country. Even the current government supported the Liang Family.

If one was truly talking about nobility, then the Liang Family was really more powerful than the Jiang Family.

However, due to resistance to the war, only a few people from the entire clan survived.

Jiang Ning was young, so how could she know about this? She scolded without restraint. "No matter how amazing your family was in the past, you're still like this now! Being poor is being poor. Don't call yourself a phoenix just because you're wearing the skin of a pheasant, it still depends on whether or not you have that kind of talent!"

*Pa!*

Liao Yan immediately slapped her hard in the face.

Jiang Ning was stunned on the spot, unable to react for a long time.

Liao Yan smiled apologetically at Luo Yanyun. "Old lady, I'm sorry. This child has never seen the world before. As soon as she opened her mouth, she spoke in a trashy tone. Please don't mind her. I'll take her back and give her a lesson."

Liao Yan needed to stop Jiang Ning from creating trouble and she forcefully pulled her up from the sofa.

Jiang Ning came back to her senses and started crying. "Mom, what are you doing?! You actually hit me! Ever since I was young, you have never hit me, and now you hit me for the sake of an outsider?!"

Liao Yan glared at her in disappointment and dragged her out the door before saying angrily, "You sure are really bold, scolding people as you like! Do you know who the Liang Family is? Don't look at them being poor right now. If you create more ruckus and that old granny reports you to the higher-ups, our whole family would not be able to handle it!"

Jiang Ning pouted as she felt wronged. "Wah!" she cried out. "Then what should I do!"

When Old Man Han heard about the Liang Family, his spirits were aroused. He politely asked Luo Yanyun, "Dear in-law, so Zixuan is actually a descendant of the Liang Family?"

Luo Yanyun glanced at Qiao Hongya again before smiling. "Yes."

"Aiya!" Old Man Han slapped his thigh and laughed happily. "I wonder why Zixuan is so bold, it turns out she actually inherited a good lineage from the Liang Family!"

Regarding the Liang Family, of course, Old Madam Han knew about it. Looking at Liang Zixuan now, the more she saw, the more she liked her.

She never thought of dealing with the Liang Family, the children of the Liang Family were all good.

Liang Zixuan looked at Luo Yanyun blankly. "Grandmother, why did you tell me about this before?"

Luo Yanyun couldn't explain it clearly now, so she smiled awkwardly. "You child, why do you have to know so much?"

Tian Qihua couldn't wait any longer. Liao Yan and Jiang Ning finally left after so much difficulty, so she quickly handed the list to Luo Yanyun. "In-law, this is the betrothal gift list that I discussed with my parents-in-law. Please take a look at it. If there's something missing, let us know."

Luo Yanyun took the list and was shocked. Just based on the list, half of the paper was densely written with jewelry, properties, and luxury cars..  She was dazzled by sight.
