Chapter 139
They were very clear about Su Mei’s family situation.
Only Lin Yuzhen was working, while Su Mei had to take care of Lin Wen since he was crippled.
They lived very frugally all these years, so there was no way they had so much money.
The only explanation…
It only took one look from Xu Ming for Su Hong to understand. She turned to look at Lin Yuzhen and
shook her head inside her heart.
Her niece was really quite pretty, so if she put aside her shame, it wasn’t difficult to find a rich man.
So Jiang Ning was just a shield for what was really happening after all.
Lin Yuzhen never imagined that a greeting gift from Jiang Ning to Su Yun could make her eldest
aunt think of something like that.
In the hall, Grandma Su couldn’t stop touching the bangle and couldn’t be bothered to talk about
how Jiang Ning was married into the family. She couldn’t wait to wear it and kept asking Su Qin if it
looked pretty on her.
Of course Su Qin didn’t dare to say it wasn’t pretty, but she was feeling very conflicted inside.
She felt embarrassed to bring that massage chair over from her family after this $56,000 bangle.
Jiang Ning sniffed when he smelled the fragrance of food wafting out from the kitchen.
“My uncle’s wife cooks very well,” Lin Yuzhen threw Jiang Ning a glance. She knew this guy was a
real glutton. “It’s been a few years since I ate her cooking too.”
Lin Yuzhen hated coming here for the past few years.
“Everything’s ready! Go bring the dishes out!” Su Gang shouted as he carried a large pot of soup
out of the kitchen and carefully placed it on the table.
When he saw Jiang Ning getting up, he quickly said, “Oh no, don’t get up, you’re a guest and you
shouldn’t be doing these things.”
“Wow Su Gang, you’re really good at talking,” Su Hong had a smile on her face but she wasn’t
smiling inside at all. “So we’re not guests?”
“Sis, what are you talking about? You’re even in charge of this family, so are you considered a
guest?”
Su Hong had no idea how to respond to this.
She was used to being in charge and even though she had married out of the family already, she
still wanted to be in control of her family. Even Su Gang as the eldest son of the family didn’t have
as much say as she did.
Su Qin went into the kitchen to bring the dishes out, and in no time the table was filled with eight or
nine dishes.
Su Gang’s wife removed her apron and there was a layer of perspiration on her forehead.
“Everything’s cooked! Mum, come and eat.”
When she saw Lin Yuzhen, her face was full of smiles. “Yuzhen, I was busy in the kitchen earlier
and didn’t get to say hello to you. This is your husband, right?”
“Hello Auntie,” Jiang Ning greeted her loudly.
“Oh hello!” She was very happy to hear him greet her. Earlier she had dropped the salt into the
vegetables when Su Yun told her about his greeting gift in the kitchen.
Su Hong scoffed when she saw how Su Gang’s wife was so polite to Jiang Ning and Lin Yuzhen.
She quietly remarked that this sister-in-law of hers really knew how to butter up to those with
money.
“Mum, have a seat.”
Su Hong helped the old lady onto the seat, then she and Xu Ming sat on both sides of her mother,
while her son sat next to her, and the rest took their seats.
Su Gang had arranged the chairs such that Jiang Ning would be nearer to his mother, followed by
Lin Yuzhen.
Jiang Ning was a guest and guests should have the more important seats. But since Su Hong and
her family had taken the seats closest to his mother, he couldn’t say anything either.
“Oh my your cooking is really amazing,” Su Qing exclaimed to Su Gang’s wife when she saw all the
dishes on the table. “I wouldn’t have been able to do this.”
Su Gang looked at his wife and smiled, “You’re right about that. I fell in love with her cooking and
wasn’t going to marry anyone else!”

Everyone at the table burst out laughing.
“What are you talking about!” Su Gang’s wife was all shy.
Lin Yuzhen knew that her uncle and her aunt were very loving. Even though they weren’t very well
off, they never quarreled, and that in itself was very rare.
She turned to Jiang Ning, “Have a taste?”
“Oh yes, please do try the dishes!” Su Gang’s wife chimed in excitedly.
“Mum hasn’t said anything yet!” Su Han said loudly. “Today is her birthday, so can’t we let my
mother say a few words first?”
Lin Yuzhen frowned slightly. She felt that her eldest aunt was purposely doing this to pick on her
and Jiang Ning.
