"Confrontation" - Chapter 56: So-called Harmony

My mother built a glass house in the yard, which is a greenhouse, and it is full of out-of-season plants.
The city of A also experienced an outbreak, and Jiang Yao was forbidden from going out and fooling around, so she had to stay with her mother every day to cultivate her character.
Mom sat reading in the greenhouse, while Jiang Yao stared blankly at the flowers. If you planted her in the soil now, watered her every day, and gave her some fertilizer, Jiang Yao would surely have flowers blooming on her head too.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Siyuan's family held their usual family banquet.
What was originally a very boring thing has now become somewhat amusing in comparison.
The key point is that Jiang Qiyan was there too.
The family banquets they invited were always to the same few families living halfway up the mountain.
The elders were all present this time. When Jiang Yao entered, they all asked about her situation and looked at her with some wariness.
Jiang Yao quickly explained that her father had just returned home and gone into quarantine without even having time to go back. She then symbolically showed him her health code, which amused the elders.
Lin Siyuan's home is in a Chinese style, with a large display cabinet separating the entryway from the living room. The living room is furnished with a full set of mahogany furniture, and the dining area is set up with two yew wood eight-immortal tables. Jiang Yao felt that while it was undeniably Chinese and quite opulent, it was a bit overdone.
Jiang Yao glanced at Mrs. Lin, who was wearing a bright red cheongsam. It was festive and had a great atmosphere, but it was just too much and uncomfortable to look at.
Jiang Yao sat at the children's table, half of which was filled with her childhood friends, and the other half with little kids around thirteen or fourteen years old.
Lin Siyuan sat next to her, taking care of the unruly little ones while also looking after the other adults. He certainly had the air of a good host.
There was a plate of drunken crab on the table, but Jiang Yao didn't have much of an appetite, so she just kept gnawing on the crab. She had inherited her mother's skills and was quite adept at eating crabs. Even the tough crab legs could be easily broken and sucked out with a deft twist.
Lin Siyuan silently helped her pick up crabs, making sure there were two crabs in the small bowl in front of her.
"Thank you." Jiang Yao didn't stand on ceremony. As long as there was something to eat, she could stay at the banquet indefinitely.
Lin Siyuan poured her a small glass of wine, saying, "Crab meat is cold, so a little wine is good for you." He glanced at her and added, "This is Shaoxing wine."
She has always loved Huadiao wine.
"Thank you," Jiang Yao said without even looking up.
No one from the Jiang family came. Lin Siyuan and the others seemed to have received a notice and explained to everyone before the banquet that the Jiang family had encountered some family matters and asked everyone to eat first.
Jiang Yao didn't want to take out her phone in front of everyone, so she didn't know what was going on with the Jiang family.
The so-called family matter was simply that the woman came to their door, hiding the child, and came to negotiate terms.
Old Man Jiang went from being furious to feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath and needing to take medicine. Now, he has finally calmed down and is negotiating with the woman with Jiang Qixing.
Jiang Qiyan had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines. He was sitting far away, so he couldn't really hear what they were saying in hushed tones, but he could deduce the progress of the negotiations from everyone's expressions.
Jiang Yao never expected that there would be a talent show for the children after the meal, and she never expected that after the little ones sang, danced, and played the piano, it would be their turn.
"What's your mother thinking?" Jiang Yao leaned closer and whispered to Lin Siyuan.
Lin Siyuan shook his head, his eyes filled with apology. "We'll just play one piece later. Do you remember the Sonata in D major? We played it together before."
That was many years ago. They were studying piano together under a certain musician. A fellow student held a concert, and the two of them were invited as special guests to perform a four-hand piano duet at the end.
Sometimes Jiang Yao had to admit that she and Lin Siyuan had a certain tacit understanding. After all, they had grown up together since childhood, witnessed each other's growth, and could understand each other's every move.
Jiang Yao felt it was necessary to make things clear with him, so after finishing her piano playing, she asked Lin Siyuan to come out for a moment.
There is a small garden in front of the house, but the northern winter cannot keep any outdoor flowers, and it is quite desolate at this moment.
The two walked to the fence on the side of the house. The weather was nice today, and the crescent moon could be seen in the sky.
"I know what you're going to say," Lin Siyuan smiled.
"But you can also feel our compatibility. We are the ones who truly have a future."
If they get together, they will definitely become a blessed and perfectly matched couple.
Jiang Yao laughed, "I get along well with many people, so why you?"
Lin Siyuan leaned in to look into her eyes, "Because I'm certain that we can go far and reach great heights."
Lin Siyuan needs a woman from a similar family background who is also adept at social interaction. People like him are looking for not only a wife, but also a business partner.
What moved Lin Siyuan was not Jiang Yao's personality or appearance, nor her so-called seductive tricks, but the future they could have in her.
Jiang Yao had little interest in power and, finding the conversation unproductive, turned to leave, only to be stopped by Lin Siyuan.
"What do you like about Jiang Qiyan? What he has, I will have in the future. Give me five years, and you will see it."
The two faced off. Jiang Yao didn't want to resort to violence like she did that day, making things too ugly.
Lin Siyuan slowly approached her, forcing Jiang Yao to retreat until her back hit the fence. He then reached out and pulled her into his arms.
Jiang Yao clenched her fists, ready to swing them at his face at any moment.
"What's up?"
The two were lost in their own emotions when a third voice suddenly appeared, startling them both.
Lin Siyuan released her and looked back. Jiang Yao immediately recognized Jiang Qiyan's voice and ran to his side.
Jiang Qiyan put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms.
Lin Siyuan walked towards them, their eyes meeting in a silent exchange. Lin Siyuan didn't stop and slowly walked away.
"What a coincidence!" Jiang Yao looked up at Jiang Qiyan.
"Unfortunately, I was looking for you."
Jiang Yao chuckled, "You've already finished eating, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Qiyan couldn't help but laugh, "It seems someone told me yesterday that I absolutely had to come."
"That's great!" Jiang Yao laughed, "To hell with Lin Siyuan's bullshit about compatibility and the future."
Besides, how could they not have a future?
