Chapter 867: Particularly Well-Dressed

“Who says that I’m not willing to wait for him? I’m just unwilling to wait for that woman.” Jiang Yao chuckled. “I’m not happy to see her.”

While they talked, Jiang Lei and Yang Gaoshu finally caught up to them. Even though they had quarreled, Yang Gaoshu did not leave. She also did not throw a tantrum. Instead, she held Jiang Lei’s hand as she greeted Jiang Jie and Jiang Yao.

“Brother Jiang Jie, Jiang Yao.” Yang Gaoshu had not been to the Jiang family often, so she only had limited interaction with them. As a result, she was not familiar with them, so she habitually called their names when she greeted them.

Jiang Jie greeted her as well. Jiang Yao had mentioned that she did not want to wait for Yang Gaoshu. He was afraid that his sister would have a sour look on her face when she looked at Yang Gaoshu, but she seemed normal. Jiang Lei would not like it if he were sandwiched between them.

They went to town to buy some trivial things and order more wedding candies. So, all of them went to the candy store in the market first.

They walked in a line—two men and two women. Jiang Yao stood beside Jiang Jie and deliberately avoided Yang Gaoshu when she wanted to approach her. However, Yang Gaoshu kept her eyes on her. Her actions were so apparent that Jiang Lei commented on that. “Why do you keep looking at my sister? Watch where you’re going; you’re in heels. Don’t come crying to me if you fall.”

“My steps are steady!” Yang Gaoshu smiled lightly. Then she said, “I haven’t seen Jiang Yao in a while, and she has become prettier. If I were to see her on the streets, I would not even recognize her. The girl who went to the big city is indeed very different from us. The big city must have great feng shui!”

“You speak as if all girls who go to a big city will become prettier. Isn’t there another girl in our town who also went to a big city for work? She’s still so ugly.” Jiang Lei snorted. “My sister is a natural beauty. She has been good-looking since she was young. What does it have to do with where she went?”

Jiang Lei smiled proudly. “Everyone in our family is good-looking.”

Jiang Lei was confident with his looks. Even though he was not as handsome as his brother-in-law, he was still one of the most good-looking men in town. Many people compliment his good looks.

“Yes, yes, yes, you’re good-looking!” Yang Gaoshu followed that with a perfunctory smile. Then, she turned to Jiang Yao and said, “Your outfit looks perfect today. Is it cotton or a down jacket? It doesn’t look bloated at all. It even makes you look tall and slim. You’re tall, so you’ll look good in this kind of outfit. You don’t even need to wear high heels. I really envy you.”

The winter in the south was freezing, and Jiang Yao was very afraid of the cold. If she did not wear a down jacket, she would not be able to endure it.

Yang Gaoshu said she looked good that day, but she did not dress up for the trip. She had a clean face and wore the pink hat, scarf, and gloves that Lu Xingzhi had bought her. She also wore the cardigan and the white down jacket that Lu Yuqing had bought her because she thought they would look good on her.
