You Look Like You’re Made of Money

Chapter 28: Part 2 — Jiang Jingchuan, who wasn’t very experienced, felt that this was the best form of love.

When Su Yan and Jiang Jingchuan entered, they immediately became the point of attention. Their every action and every word were being observed by the two families. When they saw Jiang Jingchuan being so courteous, they couldnt help but feel a bit closer to him.

Su Yan was soon called aside by Mother Qin. Although the two families benefited from Su Yans marriage, in the end, they had also seen her growing up since childhood. The group of her Jiuma[1] and Shenshen[2] cared a lot about her. After moving to a different room, Mother Qin anxiously pulled Su Yan in and looked carefully at the girl from head to toe. She inwardly uttered Amitbha Buddha[3] before choking with sobs and speaking: How are you at Jiang Family? No one bullied you, right?

As a mother who had carried a girl through ten months of pregnancy, how could she not be distressed? She also hoped that her daughter would be able to marry the person she wanted, but she also cant be at odds with the other members of the family. Whats more, since Venerable Madame Jiang and Venerable Sir Jiang had already known the girl before, the Su Family and the Qin Family were quite clear in their heart that in the future when Su Yan grew up, her marriage wont be bad. As long as her parents were alive, they would have done their best to fix Su Yans marriage, but who would have thought that the two elders of the Jiang Family would have ended up letting the daughter marry into their Jiang Family.

It was also because of their connection with the two elders of the Jiang Family that since the time Su Yan was little, the Su Family and the Qin Family started to raise her with great efforts. If Su Yan was married off well, then the two families would also be well.

Su Yan was married to Jiang Jingchuan. First of all, in the future, as long as Qin Zeyu doesnt pout in airs, die off or get foolish, he would be able to appropriately climb up to a high-level position in Jiang Corp. without any problem. In the future, when Qin Xuan would look for a marriage partner, although they didnt count on her marrying into another wealthy and influential family as their daughter-in-law, she wont be far behind. Qin Familys upcoming future didnt look bad.

While on the other hand, as for the Su Family, Su Yans male cousin[4] and female cousin[5], with the Jiang Familys influence, were already studying abroad. They also showed promise. After they come back from overseas, being gold-plated[6] plus their familys deep relation with the Jiang Family, their future seemed very shining bright.

The Qin Familys and the Su Familys people gathered together to have a discussion. Since they had already verified Jiang Family's attitude and traditions as well as Jiang Jingchuan's character, they felt at ease marrying Su Yan into their family.

Although each and every one of them had their own selfish motives, their doting and care of Su Yan wasnt phoney.

Su Yan listening to Mother Sus question nodded and whispered: Very nice. They are very good to me.

What she said was true. Needless to say, Venerable Sir Jiang and Venerable Madame Jiang treated her much better as compared to their quality product grandson. Mother Jiang and Father Jiang were also good to her. The most important thing was that, although she cannot say Jiang Jingchuan was totally submissive, it also wasnt bad. She didnt want to get too comfortable with her current simple life.

Mother Su was relieved. She knew her daughter well. She was willing to talk to her now, and even came to this birthday banquet, which meant that she must have untied the knot in her heart. Mother Su still wanted to tell her many things, but the other aunts couldnt endure and fired questions one after another.

Heard your cousin say that you had gone to give Xiao Jiang[7] a meal? Oh, thats right, Xiao Yan, dont blame this Aunt for asking you a strange question. Xiao Jiang is a man of striking appearance who is a one out of ten thousand as a marriage partner.

I heard that Xiao Jiang had a scandal with that celebrity before, is it true? Xiao Yan, dont hold back, speak openly if you suffered any grievance. Even if his family is wealthy, we arent the type of people who take bullying lightly, isnt that right?

Right! We wont spare him if he has a bad reputation!

Su Yan helplessly listened to them. Actually, before she came here, she felt that these two families didnt take "Su Yans" wishes into consideration, and insisted on marrying her because of their personal interests. She could not blame them, after all, if "Su Yans" marriage paved the way for a great future for everyone in the two families, who would not agree? Who would not want to be relatives with the Jiang Family?

She had lived in the Imperial Harem for many years. Whether these people were sincerely speaking for her or just speaking nonsense, she could easily differentiate without any problem. These people may have their own selfish motives; however, they did genuinely care about the original body.  

To make this group of people feel at ease, Su Yan had no choice but to reply honestly, Not at all. He had explained the situation to me about that film star. In fact, he had only seen her a few times, he isnt acquainted with her.

These groups of Aunties were clearly relieved upon hearing that before saying one after another: We know that Xiao Jiang isnt like that. Not to forget, that film star isnt as beautiful as our Xiao Yan unless Xiao Jiang is blind.

uh.

While on the other side, Jiang Jingchuan was also receiving all kinds of hints from relatives. He was very helpless.

Father Su was a very emotional person. When it comes to his daughter, even if he spoke for 3 days and 3 nights it wont be enough, When Xiao Yan was born, she was such a little thing. Now she is married and all grown up. I hate to part with her. When she was at home, she didnt do anything, and my family spoiled her into a willful person. Xiao Jiang, if she makes any mistakes, dont argue with her. Shes still young and doesnt understand.

Jiang Jingchuan wasnt sure if Father Su was speaking about Shen Peirans affair yet, he couldnt help but praise him, it wasnt common to talk about it. He spoke about not wanting to part with her during Su Yans marriage, then he talked about spoiling her which made her rather stubborn and even directly said that she was young and if she made a mistake to not argue with her as she was ignorant.

He simply ended up expressing everything.

Yes, I wont. Xiao Yan is very good. We get along well. Jiang Jingchuan smiled and nodded.

Due to a few matters, Su Yans cousin[8] had flown back in the country from abroad. Following their words, he said: Uncle, please dont worry. Jingchuan isnt that sort of person. He will certainly treat her wonderfully. Forget others, dont you know what kind of temper Xiao Yan has? Quickly bribe me or I will tattle to her.

Because of Cousin Sus words, the atmosphere became very lively. But this crowd of menfolks topic of gossip still circled around Su Yan. Pulling in Jiang Jingchuan, they used all kinds of tactics from speaking frankly to speaking ambiguously about Su Yans strengths.

It wasnt easy for the two families to leave the restaurant. Jiang Jingchuan and Su Yan sighed in relief. At first, Jiang Jingchuans car could carry 3 people, but the relatives wanted them to get along and spend time together, so they moved aside. Several of the children were scolded to go home by the adults, so although they wanted to sit in the obviously more cool car they had no choice but to obediently follow their parents.

Mother Su accompanied Grandpa Qin along with her siblings to sit in the cars. After they settled down peacefully. Grandpa Qin sighed: Xiao Yan had matured now. Dont know whether it is a good thing or not.

At the end of the day, he had brought up his granddaughter with great fondness. And almost all of his love and care were used to raise her. The feelings were very deep.

Su Yans Yima[9] quickly nodded, I always thought that Xiao Yan would understand our pains if she became even a bit sensible. Now she has truly become more thoughtful than before. Now our heart is also...sigh.

The one with the deepest feelings was Mother Su. Hearing those words, the rim of her eyes reddened. She choked with sobs: I really regretted it afterwards. If her life was good, then I wouldnt say anything. If her life wasnt good, I would bear the greatest fault.

Grandfather Qins expression froze before turning severe and strictly interrupted her, Dont say these sort of words again. Xiao Yan had already married into the Jiang Family. Whether or not she could make her life good depends on her good luck. We, as her parents, cannot always reach out to the Jiang Family.

Even though Grandfather Qin said these words, he still felt anxious about his granddaughter.

Su Yans uncle[10] who was serving as a background board till now finally spoke: Father, thats not what younger sister-in-law meant. Xiao Yan is very bright. Its just that she didnt have such thoughts about Jingchuan before. Didnt you notice today? The expression in the young couples eyes was too intimate. Dont worry about her.

Whether it was the Su Family or the Qin Family, it was as if everyone had placed extremely high hopes on Su Yan. Furthermore, they also firmly believed in her. Even though they were somewhat worried about her situation in the Jiang Family, they were more willing to have faith in her ability to establish herself in the Jiang Family.

When the birthday banquet had formally begun, the two families got together to take a big group photo. Grandfather Qin, wearing an unlined long gown, was sitting in the chair at the centre smiling affectionately, everyone around him was also smiling. Jiang Jingchuan was also smiling joyfully while hugging Su Yan.

Your family cares a lot for you. Jiang Jingchuan was touched and couldnt help but express his thoughts as he and Su Yan were eating together.  

In the past, due to Su Yans relationship, he didnt have much contact with Su Yans family. Although on New Years Day and other festivals he didnt forget to send gifts, he didnt talk much with them. After meeting them today, although they had their own selfish motives, their concern for Su Yan was genuine.

Su Yan wasnt the original body. She didnt have too many thoughts regarding it. Thinking of everyones expression today, it certainly was so. She nodded.

In future, if youre okay with it, you may go home regularly. Your father misses you very much.

.......okay. Indeed, although she cant take over the original bodys love for Shen Peiran, she was responsible for and had an obligation to go and care for her family.

Jiang Jingchuan didnt know what he thought of, but he couldnt help laughing by himself. After Su Yans repeated questioning, he whispered: Your father told me today to not hate him for being so fussy. He said when I will have a daughter myself, then I will understand. I was thinking about what our daughter will look like?

......this. Su Yan froze, not knowing how to answer. She also wanted to dissuade Jiang Jingchuan from thinking on this question because if he thought too much about it, he would end up having expectations of children afterwards.

She did not want children yet.

Jiang Jingchuan kept talking as if he was speaking to himself: It is said that the daughter resembles the father and the son resembles the mother, but I hope that our daughter looks like you so that when I am old, I can still remember the time when you were young. Its nice to think about it.

Such words made many arrays of ripples in her heart. Su Yan foolishly stared at Jiang Jingchuan for a moment as her mood became increasingly complex.

But I dont have too much contact with children. You can see that my relationship with Jingjing is very ordinary...um, however, if it is my daughter, at that time I will be troubling you to tell me how to curry favour with her. Actually, when Jiang Jingjing was little, Jiang Jingchuan wanted to play a lot with his younger sister, but he had too many school assignments and then later immediately had to go abroad. When he returned to the country, his younger sister had already grown up. He was even more unsure on how to communicate with his younger sister.

Su Yan lowered her head to continue drinking the soup and didnt say anything.

Jiang Jingchuan continued to mumble to himself for a long time. Then finally, taking advantage of other peoples inattentiveness, he secretly pulled Su Yans hand under the table and whispered: Or you can practise with me first, after I have learned to curry favors with you, I can use that and curry favour with my daughter.

He was too abnormal today. Previously, even if the atmosphere was very good and his mood was very good, he didnt speak so glibly. Su Yan couldnt help but ask: Were you brainwashed today?

Jiang Jingchuan felt very helpless, even more so than with Father Su just a few moments ago. It wasnt easy for him to speak such intimate words, but she assumed that he was subjected to brainwashing. Jiang Jingchuan immediately released her hand and didnt answer her. He began to focus on eating.

Su Yans cousin[11] came over with his girlfriend to sit together with them at Jiang Jingchuans table. Disregarding whether or not if someone was watching, they immediately hugged each other and took a selfie of them kissing each others cheeks.

Others didnt like it, Did you come to eat or show your love!

Su Yans cousin winked, You care about me, but you just need to show your command from time to time.

Another person nudged Jiang Jingchuan and asked: Brother-in-law, dont you think he is naive?

Jiang Jingchuan glanced at Su Yan and indifferently said: Childish.

The next second, Jiang Jingchuan lowered his head to log in to his inactive Weibo.

_Jiang Jingchuan: _su

However, Mr. Jiang didnt get any reply from Su Yan.

Chiyo: poor Jingchuan :[

Barb: *smiles*

A few pinyin i.e the romanisation of the familial titles are used in this chapter, like Yima- This word is used to refer to your mother's sister who is married.

I haven't put all the familial titles in Pinyin as it would become too confusing with many cousins and uncles being introduced all together in one chapter.

However, in the future I might use pinyin if a few family members are introduced in a single chapter and will also put their meaning in translator's notes so no worries.

Translation Notes--

1. Jiuma- This is not a name. It is a title given to a familial relationship, which is used here to refer to Su Yan's Aunts from her mother side i.e from the Qin Family.

2. Shenshen- This is not the name. It is a title given to a familial relationship, which is used here to refer to Su Yan's aunts from her father's side i.e from the Su Family.

3. Amitbha Buddha- It is a saying in Buddhism meaning Praise the Lord or Prise the Buddha. The closest Equivalent would be- Thank God.

4. Male Cousin- This is Su Yan's older cousin from her father's side i.e from the Su Family. He is the son of Su Yan's father's brother.

5. Female Cousin- This is Su Yan's younger female cousin from the father's side. She is the daughter of Su Yan's father's brother.

6. Gold Plated- It is said of students who went abroad to study in order to enhance their social status. So in short, to have additional qualifications.

7. Xiao Jiang- Adding Xiao before anyone's name is a sign of closeness. So Xiao Jiang refers to Jiang Jingchuan.

8. Cousin- This is Su Yan's older cousin from her father's side. This is most likely the cousin who was referred before as the person studying in abroad.

9. Yima- She is Su Yan's maternal Aunt and is married.

10. Uncle- This is Su Yan's uncle from her father's side. He is Father Su's older brother. And he said father as a sign of respect, he isn't blood related to Grandpa Qin.

11. Cousin- This is another older cousin of Su Yan from the Su Family. He is the son of Su Yan's father's brother.
