I Want A Lifetime With You

Shi Nuan was taken aback by Jiang Yu’s sudden request. It hadn’t been long since Shi Wei had left, and now her mother was here. She would truly be a fool if she didn’t know that they had something up their sleeves.

She looked at Jiang Yu meaningfully. For some reason, Jiang Yu squirmed under Shi Nuan’s interrogative gaze, but she quickly composed herself. She looked around the table and said, “It has been a while since I saw you, Nuan. Why? You don’t even want to talk to me?”

Shi Nuan sneered internally. Well, what an Oscar-worthy act, Jiang Yu. I wonder if you’ve learned it from your daughter, or perhaps it’s the other way around? She swept her gaze over Jiang Yu and remained in her seat.

Jiang Yu was angered, but she couldn’t show it, for Shi Yunsheng, Jiang Shizheng, and even Fu Chengyan were here. The woman smiled. “I have something to give you, Nuan. Your sister is married now, so you’re the only one I worry about. It has been a while since I talked to you. You’re always so busy and not at home.”

“Enough,” Jiang Shizheng interrupted her impatiently. “You couldn’t be a good mother to her, so how dare you criticize her? Is it not your fault my granddaughter chose to leave the family?”

“Father!” Jiang Yu did not expect her father to reprimand her in public, but since he was her father, she couldn’t talk back. So, the woman shamelessly vented her anger on Shi Nuan. “What are you talking about? Shi Nuan’s my daughter. How can you accuse me of doing that?

Dad, tell him how I usually treat Nuan. You know I’m kind to her.” Jiang Yu looked at Shi Yunsheng. She thought Shi Yunsheng wouldn’t want to embarrass himself in front of Jiang Shizheng, so he couldn’t side with the latter.

However, she was severely mistaken. Even though the old men did not get along well, they could work together for Shi Nuan.

Shi Yunsheng looked upset. “It’s Wei’s big day today. Why are you asking for Nuan instead of helping with the wedding? There are a lot of guests for you to greet, so busy yourself with that!”

“Father, dad.” Jiang Yu was angry and frantic, but she couldn’t give up now. Just then, her phone rang. “Hello, Yunwan? Yes, oh, he’s here?” Jiang Yu looked around her. “Alright, then I’ll go look for him. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of him.”

Fu Chengyan’s eyes gleamed. He then sent a text to someone and received a curt reply that said, ‘I’m here.’ Fu Chengyan smiled and met Shi Nuan’s gaze when he raised his head. The man looked at her and nodded. Shi Nuan was perplexed, so she texted him, ‘What’s wrong?’
