Chapter 150 This pride must be won back.
Qin Yulian, who was following behind, saw that Jiang Youli and Zhang Susu were unable to enter the Long family's gate for a long time and guessed that they had been turned away.
Ironically, this brat even called people over to bang drums and gongs in an attempt to force Jiang Li to come out!
That's really overestimating yourself!
Honestly, she still insisted on coming along to check on things, wasting so much time for nothing!
Thinking of this, Qin Yulian told the driver to turn around and leave, no longer paying attention to Jiang Youli's situation. She would let the Long family deal with that brat Jiang Youli; she had other important business to attend to!
After Jiang Youli gave a shout and coordinated with the team that Ye Ying had brought to beat drums and gongs, the Long family's steward finally came out again.
He covered his ears and shouted, "Miss Jiang, what are you doing!"
Jiang Youli, holding a megaphone, replied, "Isn't that obvious? Of course, you should find my third aunt. Who told you not to open the door or make her come out?"
The butler was speechless. He frowned and continued loudly, "Alright, Miss Jiang, tell those people behind you to stop. I'll take you in to see the Second Madam!"
"Alright!" Jiang Youli turned around, raised her hand, and shouted "Stop!"
Soon, the deafening sound of gongs and drums stopped completely, and the surroundings finally returned to quiet.
The butler breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his hands from his ears, and opened the door. "Miss Jiang, please come in."
Jiang Youli said to the group in front of her, "Alright, you can all go and collect your wages."
Only then did the professional dragon and lion dance troupes leave.
Seeing this, Zhang Susu, who was waiting in the car, got out and walked to Jiang Youli's side.
Upon discovering Zhang Susu's presence, the butler was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but say, "Miss Jiang grew up in the village and is still quite immature after returning to the Jiang family, which is understandable. But Madam Jiang, you come from a distinguished family, so why are you joining Miss Jiang in this nonsense?"
Zhang Susu replied sarcastically with a dignified expression: "The Long family is one of the most prestigious families in Beijing. They should know how to treat guests. How can they refuse to let their guests in for more than half an hour without any reason?"
The butler was speechless.
Madam Jiang is known in social circles for her aloof and unassuming nature, but why does she seem different now? Isn't her speech quite barbed?
Zhang Susu ignored the Long family butler, looked at Jiang Youli, and immediately said in a gentle voice, "Youli, let's go find your third aunt."
Jiang Youli smiled and nodded, "Okay, Mom!"
After Zhang Susu and Jiang Youli entered the house, the butler closed the door and quickly led them to the main hall of the house.
Three people were sitting on the sofa in the main hall.
An elderly woman with white hair should be Madam Long, as well as Jiang Li and her husband, Master Long Junyu.
"Jiang Youli, aren't you annoying!" Long Junyu said impatiently. He was still wearing his pajamas and looked like he had just woken up. "I was taking a nice nap when I was woken up by that weird noise of gongs and drums outside the door. You're the one who had someone do it, aren't you!"
At this point, he felt a surge of anger rising within him.
After leaving the Qi family's engagement banquet last night, he couldn't stand Jiang Li's constant complaints, so instead of returning to the Long family, he went to a nightclub and was only sent back to the Long family when the nightclub closed at three in the morning.
Back at the Long family home, he was too lazy to go to his room and slept directly on the sofa in the main hall. When Jiang Li came downstairs, her niece called her and complained to him, making it impossible for him to continue sleeping.
Seeing that the housekeeper didn't intend to invite them to sit down, Jiang Youli didn't stand on the cold shoulder and went straight to the empty sofa to sit down. She patted the seat next to her and said, "Mom, come sit down. We don't know how much longer it will take us to finish."
In the past, Zhang Susu would never have done something like sitting down before the host even invited her. But now that she's spent so much time with Youli, she's increasingly unwilling to put herself through any pointless humiliation.
Zhang Susu walked over and sat down.
Madam Long frowned and glanced thoughtfully at Zhang Susu.
It's one thing for the Jiang family to have just brought back this girl, but is Zhang Susu's personality really this sharp? She sat down without being invited.
After settling down, Jiang Youli answered Long Junyu's question: "Those people banging drums and gongs outside were indeed people I hired, but you can't blame me. Blame my third aunt. Who told her to leave me standing outside your Long family's door for more than half an hour? I had no choice."
Madam Long sneered, "What a pretense of being forced to do something! It's only been half an hour, and you're already causing such a ruckus outside my Long family. If this goes on any longer, are you planning to put my Long family on the news?"
Jiang Youli gave a thumbs up and praised, "Old Madam Long is indeed wise! You guessed right. That's exactly what I was thinking. If you don't open the door and let me see my third aunt, I'm going to call the reporters."
Old Madam Long: "..."
Jiang Li glanced at the old lady's expression and suppressed the urge to gloat.
She had often had to put up with the old lady's attitude in the Long family, and it was rare for someone to make the old lady lose face.
After calming herself down, Madam Long said, "I heard what happened from your third aunt. She made a bet with you the day before yesterday. If my son can arrange a meeting with Jay Chou for her second brother, you will kneel down and apologize to her. If he can't, then she will kneel down and apologize to you."
Jiang Youli said, "Yes, who knew that Third Aunt would deny it and sneak back to the Long family."
"Who knew you'd follow me to the Long family too?" Old Madam Long said sarcastically. "What? Are you so determined to make your third aunt kneel down and apologize to you?"
Jiang Youli nodded, "That's right, Third Aunt must, absolutely must, kneel down and apologize to me."
She had a smile on her face, but her tone was harsh.
Madam Long had lived for so long, and she had never seen anyone so arrogant in front of her.
She looked at Zhang Susu and said, "Madam Jiang, although you are not her biological mother, you now recognize her as your daughter, so you are her elder. Do you allow her to be so aggressive towards her aunt?"
“It’s only right to accept the consequences of a bet, isn’t it? Besides, Jiang Li herself came to provoke my daughter Jiang Li. If we don’t get our revenge, everyone will think our family is easy to bully,” Zhang Susu firmly defended.
Jiang Li finally couldn't help but say speechlessly, "It's one thing for Jiang Youli to be ignorant and take things too seriously, but sister-in-law, she's not your own daughter, why are you taking it so seriously! You even joined her in causing trouble at the Long family's house!"
Zhang Susu was most annoyed by these claims that Youli wasn't her biological daughter, and said, "Don't give me that nonsense, just kneel down and apologize to Youli right now."
Jiang Li leaned back on the sofa, crossed her arms, and snorted coldly, "Don't even think about it! I just won't kneel down and apologize to her, so what can you do to me!"
Madam Long reminded Zhang Susu again, "Jiang Li is the second wife of my Long family. Making her kneel down and apologize to her niece is to trample on the face of my Long family. It's one thing for your Miss Jiang to be ignorant since she is new to the capital, but if you, as the first wife of the Jiang family, were sensible, you would take her away right now, and my Long family would forgive your nonsense today."
