“Jiang Nanshan, let me tell you although our Jiang family isn’t a prestigious clan, we are a scholarly household. I don’t care what affairs you have outside, and I can’t control them.
But I’ll tell you this: my granddaughter, I only have one Yao Yao. Everything in this family in the future will belong to her.” Old Master Jiang, seeing that today’s discussion had reached this point, spoke directly.
He wanted to prevent certain people from overestimating themselves and always coveting what isn’t theirs.
“Dad, your favor is way too biased! She’s your granddaughter too, you can’t treat them differently!”
“Granddaughter? My son isn’t worth much either what’s she to me!” Old Master Jiang was angered by his own foolish son’s words.
“Dad, didn’t you just say we’re a scholarly family? Every time you open your mouth it’s ‘what’s she to me,’ that’s not very appropriate!” Jiang Nanshan said helplessly.
Whether it was Old Master Jiang or the matriarch, whenever it came to Jiang Chuyao, there was unconditional doting. Mention the eldest daughter, however, and it was as if she were some stray cat or dog on the street completely invisible in their eyes.
“Your factory, the land still belongs to us, and in the future, it will also belong to Yao Yao,” the matriarch suddenly remembered and mentioned it.
Jiang Nanshan immediately bared his teeth. “Wasn’t that already given to me?”
“Who said that? You’re only borrowing it. In the future, if Yao Yao is willing to lend it to you, you can use it. If she doesn’t, you’ll have to start somewhere else!” Old Master Jiang said this with a laugh.
Jiang Nanshan nearly cried because he knew once the old couple decided, the matter was basically settled.
“Dad, Mom, I am your son!”
“How amusing. If you weren’t our biological son, could you even use that property?” the matriarch said dismissively.
(⊙o⊙)…
Biological parents, really!
“Look at this mess you’ve caused. This afternoon, go with us to apologize to the Shen family. As for the Jiang family, you should also go there yourself and make things clear!” Old Master Jiang suddenly brought it up, making Jiang Nanshan’s face darken.
“The marriage is already called off what’s the point of going?” Jiang Nanshan was unwilling.
But when the old couple insisted, he had no choice and had to agree.
“Don’t think we don’t know what you’re planning. Regarding the Jiang family marriage, you didn’t intend for Yao Yao to actually marry there, right? You want to arrange a future for your eldest daughter, but you shouldn’t use Yao Yao’s name for that!” Old Master Jiang’s words made Jiang Nanshan blush.
“No!” he answered quickly, but his guilty conscience made his voice noticeably small.
“No? Hmph, the moment you wag your tail, I know where your loyalties lie!” his mother’s words struck straight to the heart how could he respond?
“Mom, look at you, I’m not that kind of person!” Jiang Nanshan weakly tried to defend himself. His tone was filled with genuine grievance.
“If the Jiang family weren’t looking at us behind Yao Yao, do you think they would ever yield?” The gap between the two families was obvious.
Although they were longtime acquaintances with the Jiang family, the older generation was extremely old-fashioned in dealing with people. If they knew, they would never allow this fool of a son to make such a wrong decision.
Jiang Nanshan was speechless. When Jiang Chuyao returned alone, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
The old couple had originally planned to return to the old residence, but due to various reasons, they finally decided not to leave.
Not only would they stay, but they also told Jiang Nanshan to take his wife and eldest daughter to go find a new place to live.
“Mom!” Jiang Nanshan felt like he was going crazy. The family wasn’t lacking houses, yet not a single one was for him. Now they wouldn’t even let him stay?
“What do you mean ‘Mom’? At your age, people your age are already grandparents. Stop whining like a child who hasn’t been weaned, calling me ‘Mom!’ It’s disgusting,” the matriarch snapped. Jiang Nanshan felt like a lump of old blood was stuck in his throat.
“Mom, am I really your biological son?” Previously, he had only suspected it, now he felt almost certain.
“I don’t know about that, but Yao Yao is definitely my granddaughter. Alright, go with your father to get our luggage. From now on, we’ll live here and take care of Yao Yao,” Old Madam Jiang said, which left Jiang Chuyao somewhat stunned.
She had only been gone a short while how did everything completely change direction?!
Jiang Nanshan wanted to say something, but Old Master Jiang gave a whistle, and he immediately backed down.
Thinking that he had escaped a beating, he felt a small relief and went with the old man to the old residence to pack. Once they entered the courtyard, Old Master Jiang locked the main gate behind them.
“Kneel!”
“Bang…” At Old Master Jiang’s shout, Jiang Nanshan instinctively knelt.
He kept his back straight, even though his knees pressed painfully on the stones, he didn’t dare make a sound.
He thought the matter was over, but the old man intended to settle accounts when no one else was around. He had underestimated the situation.
Then Old Master Jiang went inside to pack.
Assuming it wouldn’t take too long, Jiang Nanshan waited kneeling with his back to the door. But time dragged on, and he dared not rise, slowly twisting to see inside.
To his shock, the old man was watering the flowers!
(⊙o⊙)…
Too much!
Yet he could only grumble silently in his heart, not daring to complain aloud.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chuyao helped the old couple tidy the rooms of the old residence. The cleaning was mostly maintained, only fresh bed sheets and covers were needed.
“Yao Yao, what your parents did wasn’t proper. From now on, with me and your grandfather here, no one will dare bully you.”
Seeing her granddaughter busying herself without needing help, the matriarch felt warm and touched.
All her life, she had three daughters and one son. Her daughters married far away and she rarely saw them. Her son was hopeless.
Particularly with the family estate it only looked peaceful on the surface. Once things got stirred up, it would be a huge commotion.
This was why the old couple decided to move here to ensure their beloved granddaughter had a stable, comfortable environment for study.
“Grandma, I won’t meddle or speak unnecessarily about their matters. Everyone walks their own path muddy or smooth, it’s theirs, not mine!” Jiang Chuyao said, just to comfort her.
No matter how much she disliked the couple, she wouldn’t show it in front of her grandmother. Some matters were better handled quietly no gunfire needed.
