Chapter 2258: This Person Really Has Thick Skin

~7 min read 1,316 words

Jiang Mobai has already been discharged from the hospital.

To celebrate, Jiang Baobao invited everyone over for a meal.

This is not Su Kexuan's first time dining at the Li Family.

But it is her first time coming to the Li Family as Jiang Mobai's girlfriend.

This feeling is quite subtle.

However, upon seeing the message sent by Sui Xin, a trace of melancholy deepened in her heart.

Sui Xin had become obsessed because of Jiang Mobai.

And she had done quite a few absurd things for him.

Now, Sui Xin has woken up from her dream.

She is going to start a new life.

But there is no guarantee that a second or even a third Sui Xin won't appear in the future.

Jiang Mobai's conditions mean that someone will inevitably have their eye on him.

Finding a boyfriend like this...

It is bound to be chaotic.

Amidst her melancholy, the car drove into the Li Family estate.

At this moment, Jiang Mobai was waiting at the main entrance.

Seeing Su Kexuan step out of the car, he immediately walked over excitedly.

But after locking eyes with Su Kexuan...

Jiang Mobai blinked and asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Su Kexuan looked at Jiang Mobai with a gaze that carried a hint of scrutiny.

Finally, she made a summary: "You really are a troublesome guy."

Huh?

Where did that come from?

Jiang Mobai looked completely bewildered.

However, he soon had a sudden realization: "I know, it must be because I'm too handsome, making you feel insecure! Don't worry, Kexuan, you are the only one in my heart; all other women are genderless organisms in my eyes!"

Jiang Mobai was trying to reassure Su Kexuan.

But he had gotten the wrong idea.

Su Kexuan couldn't be bothered to correct him.

Seeing the flickering shadows inside the villa and how lively it was, she peered through the crack in the door.

At this look...

"Tonight's dinner, it's not just an ordinary family meal?"

"No, my parents want to make your status public, so they invited some friends and relatives. But you don't need to be nervous; you've met most of the people inside."

"I'm not nervous, it's just that..."

"Just that what?"

"There will be many people trying to curry favor with me in the future, and I'm afraid I might easily succumb to temptation and use the Li Family's reputation to throw my weight around."

Su Kexuan's words were half-true and half-joking.

After finishing, she even sighed with feigned melancholy.

Jiang Mobai said very generously, "Hey, is that all? It's fine. You can use the Li Family's reputation whenever you want; we'll be one family sooner or later anyway."

Jiang Mobai's stance, while magnanimous,

took some advantage of Su Kexuan.

Su Kexuan rolled her eyes at him helplessly and muttered, "Who is one family with you?"

After saying this, Su Kexuan stepped into the living room.

Jiang Mobai followed behind, whispering, "It's only a matter of time!"

The living room was originally very lively.

Upon seeing the two protagonists of today's gathering appear, everyone immediately stopped chatting.

They turned to look over with smiles.

Su Kexuan is knowledgeable and has superb social skills.

But this was her first time facing such a scene.

She felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, she had Jiang Mobai by her side.

He accepted everyone's blessings with a grin.

Occasionally, he would look at Su Kexuan with deep affection.

After a short while, Jiang Baobao walked over holding a box.

She naturally took Su Kexuan's hand and smiled, "Did you come straight from the office?"

"Yes, I had an impromptu meeting, otherwise I could have arrived a bit earlier."

"It doesn't matter if you're early or late; we're all family here anyway."

While the two were chatting, Jiang Mobai stared at the box in Jiang Baobao's hand.

After watching for a moment, he asked, "Mom, what's inside here?"

"This? It's a gift for Kexuan."

As she spoke, Jiang Baobao opened the box and slipped the jade bracelet inside onto Su Kexuan's wrist.

This bracelet was entirely emerald green, without a single impurity, and one look told you it was worth a fortune.

Su Kexuan did not expect to receive such a generous gift and murmured, "Auntie, this..."

"Wear it. Back then, Yangyang also received a bracelet; this is a tradition in our family."

Wei Yangyang was standing nearby.

Upon hearing this, she shook her wrist.

One could see that she was also wearing a bracelet on her slender wrist.

However, the material was slightly different from Su Kexuan's.

Yet it was equally valuable.

Seeing this, Su Kexuan stopped being polite and said with a smile, "Thank you."

"It is we who should thank you for not minding Mobai and for being with him."

Jiang Mobai's romantic life had always been a headache for the Li Family.

Now that the brat had brought back such an excellent future daughter-in-law, Jiang Baobao felt a sense of relief.

Her gratitude was also heartfelt.

Su Kexuan looked at Jiang Mobai and then said, "Mobai is quite good."

"Heh, yes, the brat does have his merits in some aspects, otherwise you wouldn't have chosen him."

Jiang Baobao was just saying this casually to avoid awkwardness in the conversation.

As it turned out, Jiang Mobai took it seriously.

He straightened his back and said to his mother, "Where exactly am I good? Please elaborate."

Jiang Baobao was instantly speechless.

She glanced at Jiang Mobai and then perfunctorily said, "Do I even need to praise you? Your merits are all right there."

"Still, tell me, I want to hear it!"

"Won't you feel embarrassed?"

"Not at all! Being praised, I'm too happy to even care!"

Jiang Mobai wanted to use his mother's mouth to show off his personal charm in front of Su Kexuan.

Naturally, he wouldn't feel embarrassed.

On the contrary, he was quite looking forward to it.

Seeing his earnest expression, Jiang Baobao sighed softly.

Then, she delegated the task: "Everyone, put your heads together and talk about what merits our Mobai has."

The guests were still very willing to give face.

They spoke up one after another: "Mobai is handsome!"

"He has long legs."

"His voice is pleasant!"

"He has a good physique!"

The guests' praises were of all kinds.

But they were all related to his appearance.

Jiang Mobai felt this didn't fully reflect his merits, so he asked, "Everyone, can't you praise my inner qualities?"

Li Moning already felt that Jiang Mobai's request was shameless.

Now, hearing his words...

Li Moning complained directly: "You are making things too difficult for people."

It was precisely this complaint that made Jiang Mobai look over.

Then he pointed a finger and said, "Momo, you say a few words."

"Ah? Me?"

"Yes, as my dear younger sister, the status of your second brother in your heart must be unparalleled, right!"

Unparalleled, my foot!

Li Moning had a whole pile of complaints about this guy!

But given the current scene...

Forget it, just say a few insincere words to humor him!

Li Moning consoled herself, then opened her mouth and said emotionlessly, "Mr. Jiang Mobai is intelligent, has a strong psychological constitution, and even knowing the road ahead is full of difficulties, he still forges ahead; he is a role model for me to learn from."

Looking at Li Moning's lifeless expression, everyone couldn't help but smile.

Jiang Mobai curled his lips and commented, "Not very sincere, but fine, I'll reluctantly accept it."

"You can even accept that? You really are thick-skinned!"

"Ah, Momo, what did you say?"

"Nothing, just praising you."

After Li Moning finished speaking, she walked around to Su Kexuan's side and linked her arm with Su Kexuan's.

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart suddenly feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
