Chapter 22: Please keep the Jiang family intact
Mr. Jiang opened the jewelry box, and inside was a jade bracelet.
This bracelet is in excellent condition, and even an inexperienced person can tell that it must be priceless.
"Girl from the Su family, this bracelet was my wife's favorite in the past. My wife said before her death that she would give this bracelet to Cheng Yan's wife when she gets married."
"Now, I will give it to you. You must treat this bracelet well."
After Mr. Jiang finished speaking, he handed the jewelry box to Su Ciyi.
Su Ciyi was stunned, as if facing a formidable enemy, "This is too valuable, I can't accept it."
As she spoke, she gave Jiang Chengyan a look asking for help.
She was not Jiang Chengyan's real wife, so how could she accept something of such great significance.
But Jiang Chengyan's eyes were dim, and there seemed to be fog in those eyes, which were so dark that people couldn't see the bottom of them.
Mr. Jiang didn't like this push-and-pull, so he scolded him impatiently: "If I ask you to accept it, just accept it generously!"
Su Ciyi was scolded and had no choice but to accept it.
This jewelry box felt extremely hot to her hands when she held it.
At this point, Mr. Jiang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, Cheng Yan and I have a few words to say. You should go out first. A servant will take you to your residence."
Su Ciyi said "Okay" obediently, glanced at Jiang Chengyan, and then withdrew.
The number of people in the hall decreased by one again.
It's quieter.
"Grandpa, just say what you want to say." Jiang Chengyan said bluntly, without a trace of emotion in his words.
Mr. Jiang was hunched over and looked at the reserved and calm Jiang Chengyan in front of him.
I know I am really old...
"The banquet... Grandpa has something to ask you."
"Grandpa, tell me."
Mr. Jiang hesitated to speak, his eyes that had been baptized by time looked at Jiang Chengyan.
He saw Jiang Chengyan's bottomless black eyes, the ambition hiding endless forbearance. Unseen by him, his grandson had finally surpassed him at a terrifying growth rate.
at this moment.
Mr. Jiang seems to be several dozen years older, like a truly twilight old man.
He had gray hair and a trembling voice, "Cheng Yan, grandpa knows that the Jiang family is sorry for you. I don't have a few years left to live. I only have one request..."
"Grandpa, please keep the Jiang family intact. No matter what, keep Jiang Chenghai and Jiang Tinghao alive..."
Mr. Jiang's sorrow was endless. The eyes of this old man who had dominated the imperial capital all his life were filled with tears and full of pleading.
In this old age, he is unable to prevent some things, but he hopes that the descendants of the Jiang family will still be there.
"..."
Jiang Chengyan was silent.
There was a deathly silence in the hall.
After a long time, Jiang Chengyan suddenly chuckled and said helplessly: "Grandpa, what are you talking about? Shouldn't Jiang Chenghai and Jiang Tinghao let me live?"
Mr. Jiang shook his head slowly and heavily and said, "Cheng Yan, you know what I mean."
"My old man has still wronged you after all, but over the years, I have tried my best to maintain the balance of the Jiang family."
"The only thing I can do for you and your dead mother is to deal with Jiang Tinghao's mother so that there is no possibility for her to join the Jiang family. I have said so much, you should understand my painstaking efforts..."
Mr. Jiang spoke seriously and looked at Jiang Chengyan for a long time.
Jiang Chengyan lowered his eyes.
No one saw that the fist at his side was tightly clenched.
No one saw that there was a sudden surge of wind and waves in his lowered eyes.
The two seemed to be confronting each other silently.
Finally, when Jiang Chengyan raised his head again, his face was no longer the indifferent look it usually had when he was at Jiang's house.
What replaced it was endless indifference and sullenness, like an unruly eagle.
He no longer suppressed, and the extremely aggressive and oppressive aura gradually dissipated.
Mr. Jiang's answer was only four words.
"I promise you."
After finishing his words, Jiang Chengyan looked deeply at Mr. Jiang, his brows filled with aloofness and deep coldness.
He is like a lone wolf, speaking calmly and speaking like a knife.
"I won't touch them. From now on, the Jiang family and I will owe nothing to each other."
Mr. Jiang was stunned.
His pupils were full of shock and surprise.
But Jiang Chengyan had already withdrew his gaze.
Step up, turn around and leave.
Even his back was full of compelling evil aura.
After Jiang Chengyan left completely, Mr. Jiang coughed heavily, almost coughing out his internal organs.
The elderly man's eyes were red. He didn't know whether he was sad, crying with joy, or some other emotion.
Jiang Chengyan, this son, will definitely become a great person.
He spoke in a low voice full of complexity: "The sky shines on my Jiang family, the sky breaks on my Jiang family..."
**
After Su Ciyi came out of the main house, a servant came forward and politely led her to the side house.
Su Ciyi only found out after asking the servants that there were only three main buildings in the Jiang family's old residence.
One is the main residence, where Mr. Jiang and the late Mrs. Jiang lived.
There are also two side houses, one was originally allocated to Jiang Chenghai and Jiang Chengyan's mother, and the other was where Jiang Chengyan lived.
But now Jiang Chengyan lives in the side house where his mother lived. The side house that originally belonged to him is now occupied by Jiang Chenghai and Jiang Tinghao.
After the servant said this, he secretly said to Su Ciyi: "Young lady, please don't tell outsiders that I told you this. We can't discuss it casually."
"But the eldest young master has really had a hard time these past few years. My wife took great care of us servants before she passed away, so I'm telling you this. I hope my wife can keep it a secret for me."
The servant begged sincerely.
Su Ciyi nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Although she was a little curious about what was going on in the Jiang family, after all, it was someone else's family matter. Out of respect for Jiang Chengyan, her partner, she naturally wouldn't gossip.
Just as the two were walking smoothly, a person suddenly walked next to them.
Jiang Tinghao smiled gently and said to the servant as soon as he came up: "You go down first, I will take Miss Su over."
"This..." The servant glanced at Su Ciyi, with some worry in his eyes.
Jiang Tinghao glanced at the servant, and the servant immediately became nervous and even trembled slightly.
Su Ciyi frowned, "You go back first, I'll just go with Mr. Xiao Jiang."
The servant then looked at Su Ciyi gratefully and left quickly as he was relieved.
Jiang Tinghao smiled at Su Ciyi, "Miss Su, let's go."
After he finished speaking, he led Su Ciyi forward, as if he really just wanted to lead the way.
Because the Jiang family is so big, the autumn wind was bleak along the way, which suddenly added a bit of coolness.
There was also a chill in Jiang Tinghao's smile, "Miss Su, how dare you, an unloved daughter of the Su family, to go against us in the Jiang family hall? You shouldn't just be humiliated quietly and honestly.
