CHAPTER 380: CHAPTER 380

The staff at the bridal shop, seeing this scene, quickly took the hint and stepped aside, leaving space for Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan.

Fu Youhan kissed her passionately until he was pushed away by Jiang Moxi, only then did he realize he had somewhat lost control.

"Stop kissing. We’re here to try on wedding dresses, and if others see us like this, they’ll think we’re here for our wedding night."

Jiang Moxi’s face turned a rosy hue, and her lips looked like roses dewed with morning mist.

Fu Youhan took a couple of deep breaths to regain some control over himself.

But he still monopolized Jiang Moxi’s waist, refusing to let go, whispering into her ear.

"Sorry, I almost lost control again. Xixi, you’re just like poppy, being away from you these past few days, I’ve almost gone mad."

The man’s voice was husky, his breath hot on her ear, occasionally tickling Jiang Moxi’s earlobe, sending shivers through her body.

"Stop it! If you keep this up, we won’t be able to try on the wedding dress," Jiang Moxi tried once more to remove Fu Youhan’s hand from her waist.

But Fu Youhan still wouldn’t let go.

However, this time he didn’t tease Jiang Moxi but instead soothed her: "Alright, I won’t tease you anymore."

Fu Youhan turned Jiang Moxi around to face the full-length mirror in front of them.

When they saw their reflections appearing together in the mirror, even Jiang Moxi felt a shock.

So beautiful...

Even more stunning than carefully styled posters of big screen celebrities.

As Jiang Moxi gazed at their reflections in the mirror, Fu Youhan, with a smile on his lips, asked, "Do you know what this wedding dress is called?"

Jiang Moxi asked subconsciously, "What is it called?"

"The Pursuit of a Lifetime..."

After Fu Youhan spoke, he suddenly turned Jiang Moxi’s face towards him.

Her beauty was seductive yet possessed the innocence of a young girl, her eyes hazy and full of tenderness, every frown and smile making his heart flutter.

Fu Youhan moved in closer, whispering to her, "You are my Pursuit of a Lifetime!"

Then, under Jiang Moxi’s astonished and delighted gaze, he bent down to capture her kiss...

Meanwhile, in a private hospital’s VIP ward,

Jiang Tairan looked at various online reports, his expression darkening like the sky before a storm in June.

"Moxi and Third Young Master’s wedding is set for tomorrow, is this true or false?"

As soon as Jiang Tairan spoke, the faces of Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng sunk further.

"It’s true, I sent someone to inquire at Fu’s today, and it seems that many invitations have already been delivered by couriers."

Jiang Guosheng had initially thought the breaking news online was fake, as nobody holds a wedding immediately after announcing it, especially not a prominent family like the Fu Family.

Yet, according to their source, not only was the news true, but even people who usually have a good relationship with Third Young Master had begun receiving invitations.

However, they, as the bride’s parents, had not only not received an invitation, Third Young Master hadn’t even come to formally propose!

Third Young Master really didn’t give any importance to them, the bride’s parents, thwarting Jiang Guosheng’s hopes of leveraging his relationship with the Fu Family to soar in the business world.

This was the reason behind Jiang Guosheng’s and Yu Man’s frustration!

Unsurprisingly, Jiang Tairan was equally incensed: "These two insolent fools! Don’t they know that I, this old wreck, am still in the hospital, and without even visiting me to ask for my opinion, they decided to hold the wedding on their own!"

Jiang Tairan not only cursed Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan but also began to berate Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng.

"You two are really pathetic, not even being able to manage your own daughter."

Yu Man couldn’t help but mutter resentfully, "It was you who claimed she was a distant relative, which totally made her lose heart in us."

Jiang Tairan flew into a rage: "Are you blaming me for not raising her right and now shifting the responsibility onto me?"

Jiang Guosheng quickly gave Yu Man a look, signaling her to say less.

Yu Man reluctantly changed her tune: "I just think that instead of wasting effort on Moxi, it might be better to continue cultivating Weiwei. Look, Weiwei has a good relationship with Lady Suchen, if cultivated further..."

But before she could finish, Jiang Tairan sharply interrupted: "I’ve already invested enough resources in Jiang Weiwei over these years, but what has she achieved? And her polite relationship with Suchen, can it compare to Moxi’s?"

Jiang Weiwei, eager to please Jiang Tairan, was at that moment outside packing his favorite traditional Pidan lean meat porridge, ready to push the door open and bring it to him.

Yet before she could enter, she overheard Jiang Tairan ruthlessly criticizing her, becoming so angry that her eyes turned red. She threw away the porridge she had queued for over an hour to get, directly into the trash bin.

No matter how hard she tried to please, she couldn’t compete with the old matter of interest relationships; he didn’t deserve to drink the porridge she had bought with such hardship.

Just wait!

She would definitely become a superior person, making Jiang Tairan kneel before her in remorse.

Meanwhile, in the hospital room, after Jiang Tairan finished scolding Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man, he gave an order.

"You must repair the relationship with Moxi right away. No matter what, our Jiang Family has to show up at tomorrow’s wedding as Moxi’s maternal family!"

"But Dad, our relationship with Moxi is already so strained, do you really think it can still be mended?"

Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man both had a headache over this.

"Why not? Moxi is the blood of our Jiang Family; even if a bone is broken, the sinews still hold it together!"

Jiang Tairan was particularly adamant, adding, "If you can’t handle this for me, don’t even think about getting a share of the Jiang Family’s properties in the future."

Thus, under Jiang Tairan’s coercion, Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man could only start inquiring everywhere about the current whereabouts of Jiang Moxi.

The pathetic thing was, no matter how much they asked, they couldn’t find her.

In the end, they could only buy some gifts and went to the Fu Family’s old residence, claiming they were there to visit their future in-laws.

The one who received the two of them was the matriarch of the Fu Family, Su Jingping.

"What brings you two here?"

Su Jingping is usually friendly and approachable, not prone to putting on airs. But facing Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man, she just couldn’t be calm and composed.

She really quite liked Jiang Moxi.

Knowing that Jiang Moxi was with Fu Youhan and that it gave him the impetus to get married, she was very happy.

But she also learned from others that Jiang Moxi was the unloved legitimate daughter of the Jiang Family and thus didn’t have any good feelings towards Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man.

Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man, not being fools, naturally noticed Su Jingping’s unfriendly attitude towards them.

Nevertheless, they still tried to maintain a smiling face, presenting various high-end supplements to Su Jingping.

"Old Madam Fu, we are about to become in-laws. This is a little token of our sentiment, and we hope you’ll accept it," said Jiang Guosheng, after which Yu Man also quickly chimed in.

"It’s indeed embarrassing to say, but as we’re about to become one family tomorrow, both sides of parents haven’t even sat down for a proper chat."

Yes, Yu Man wanted to open the conversation, get Su Jingping to join in criticizing the suddenness of this marriage affair, then reach a consensus.

That way, Su Jingping might appreciate their good intentions as parents, and she would probably then join their camp, helping to persuade Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan to attend tomorrow’s wedding and put aside previous prejudices.

What they didn’t expect was for Su Jingping to say this.

"What becoming in-laws? Youhan is indeed getting married tomorrow, but I’ve never heard that Moxi has any family."

The ingratiating smiles on Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man’s faces instantly stiffened...
