Chapter 242
242 the jiang family of the capital city
the two of them didn’t go far, and they reached the front yard after leaving the banquet hall.
he went to the garden in the front yard.
Both sides of the road were filled with flower beds. Jiang che sat in a wheelchair while Shi Yan, who was wearing a long gown, pushed the wheelchair forward.
The sky was getting dark, and the afterglow of the sunset was as beautiful as a painting from a distance.
Han di, who had been chasing after ye Chengcheng, happened to see this scene. He was stunned for a moment before looking away. He looked at ye Chengcheng, who was sitting not far away and crying silently. He wanted to go forward to comfort her, but he didn’t know whether he should go forward or not.
he could already tell that ye chengcheng had not cried because he had bumped into her. she had been sad from the start.
he wasn’t too familiar with ye chengcheng, but they knew each other. he couldn’t just leave her there alone. han di probably felt bad when he saw what had happened just now, so he sat down on the bench.
Not far away from them stood a man and a woman.
the man was about 25 or 26 years old, cold and handsome; The woman was about 20 years old and was wearing a light yellow dress. She was pretty and lovely.
the two of them had arrived at the yu residence a long time ago, but they were standing in a corner and were not conspicuous.
She had only followed them out after seeing Shi Yan and Jiang che leave the banquet hall.
“second brother, is that really zhenzhen’s fifth uncle?”
even now, the girl still couldn’t believe what she had just seen at the banquet.
In her memory, fifth uncle had never smiled, even on his gentle face. At least, she had never seen him smile.
in her memory, her fifth uncle always looked at everyone with a calm gaze, as if he had never had anyone in his eyes.
But just now, she saw that fifth uncle’s eyes were filled with one person.
his gaze followed that person, and his emotions rose because of that person.
“it’s impossible that he isn’t.” The man replied.
That face and that bearing could not be from anyone else but fifth uncle.
“didn’t qianqian say that fifth uncle’s injuries have healed? why is he still in a wheelchair?” The girl asked again.
She had a complicated expression on her face.
“I don’t know. The news that fifth uncle’s injuries have recovered is only a rumor. None of us have seen it with our own eyes. but i see that fifth uncle’s complexion is not bad and think that his body should have been well. as for his legs,”
“I’m not sure if I can’t walk,” he said after a pause.
“fifth uncle has no need to disguise himself.” the girl said with certainty.
” let’s not talk about this. second brother, the girl yingluo by fifth uncle’s side is really surprising. fifth uncle’s personality is so desireless, but he’s actually in love. ”
“It is indeed very surprising.”
” she’s very beautiful and has a good temperament. she’s gentle and dignified, just like a young lady from an ancient family. she’s a good match for fifth uncle. ”
“Much more compatible than that miss Xuan and fifth uncle,” the girl added.
“You don’t like Xuan Siyun?”
“i can’t say whether i like her or not. anyway, we’re not the same kind of people. let’s not talk about her. second brother, are we going to see fifth uncle?”
the man looked at the two people walking away in the garden and said, ” “since i’m already here, i naturally have to see him.”
“b-but, will fifth uncle be angry when he sees us?” she still remembered the scene of her fifth uncle crippling her first uncle’s legs bit by bit in front of everyone after he was discharged from the hospital from the car accident.
at that time, there was a lot of crying and screaming. she shrank in the corner and did not dare to show her face. she was so scared that she only knew how to cry.
when she recalled that scene, she still couldn’t help but feel afraid.
if she hadn’t seen that scene with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed the rumors about her fifth uncle being a terrifying person. fifth uncle was clearly such a gentle and noble person.
“since fifth uncle has shown his face, i’m afraid he already knew that we would send people. i don’t know if he’ll be angry when he sees us, but i know that since we’re here, as juniors, we should pay our respects to fifth uncle.”
“then, are we going there now?”
not now. Fifth uncle obviously wants to be alone with miss Shi Yan. If we go, we might get on fifth uncle’s bad side. Tomorrow, we’ll officially pay a visit to the Jiang family in Haicheng.
“but will zhenzhen’s fifth uncle see us?”
Yunyun, we have never been on bad terms with fifth uncle. When fifth uncle was still at home, his relationship with you and I was considered relatively good. If he doesn’t even want to see us, he won’t see anyone else.
” what? ” jiang yun looked at him in shock and said unhappily, ” second brother, didn’t we agree that we’re only here to visit fifth uncle and confirm whether his injuries have fully recovered? ” Did you come here with another purpose?”
The man did not answer her, and Jiang Yun was instantly enraged.
“how can you be so cowardly?”
“You’re such a disappointment! if i had known, i wouldn’t have come to sea city by myself!”
the other party did not quibble for himself and only said, ” Yunyun, you’re still young and don’t understand. I have to come with a purpose. The Jiang family can’t do without fifth uncle. If someone else comes, fifth uncle might not want to see me. I have a bit of friendship with fifth uncle, so he’ll probably be willing to see me.
“Fifth uncle has only left the Jiang family for three years, and the Jiang family’s status is far from what it used to be. In less than two years, even the Yun family’s status in the capital will surpass the Jiang family’s. In a few years, the Jiang family will probably be removed from the list of first-class families in the capital,”
jiang yun’s heart skipped a beat,”how could it be?”
“even if we don’t have fifth uncle, we still have eldest uncle, second uncle, and third uncle, right? although eldest uncle zhenzhen has not been doing anything for the past three years, there is still eldest brother and you. You’re completely relying on fifth uncle?”
“The Jiang family isn’t a small family. It’s not enough to support such a large family with just a few people. moreover, after fifth uncle left home, the family members are not united. once a clan falls apart internally, it’s very easy for it to fall apart.”
“if we’re not united, then let everyone be united! if others can’t do it, second brother, you can do it. fifth uncle has been forced away by the family, and it’s not easy for him to have some leisure time. can’t you let him go? Who knows if there will be another big Uncle who wants his life if fifth uncle returns to power!”
“i don’t have that ability.” jiang bai smiled bitterly.
“Why don’t you have it? you’re now a vice president in the company, and i’ve heard people praising you.”
“you can take those compliments seriously? It’s okay to manage one or two branch companies, but Yunyun, your second brother really doesn’t have the ability to support such a big family.”
“You!”
Jiang Yun stomped her feet in anger. if it wasn’t for grandfather not allowing the girls in the family to hold power, I would have done it myself. I wouldn’t have needed you!
jiang bai looked at her helplessly. ” don’t talk big. what can you do? ”
“don’t look down on me. i’ve learned everything you’ve learned. i just didn’t join the company. give me a chance to join the company and see if i can do it!”
jiang bai raised his hand and patted her head. ” alright, stop fooling around. if you really want to enter the company, go back and ask fourth uncle to arrange it for you. ”
“My dad is a slave to his daughter. He can’t bear to see me suffer, so he won’t arrange anything for me.”
I’m not going to talk to you anymore. I’m very interested in that miss Shi Yan. I’ll secretly follow her and have a look. Maybe I’ll run into her by chance. Anyway, we haven’t seen each other for three years. With fifth uncle’s indifferent personality, he might have forgotten my appearance and won’t be able to recognize me.
“yunyun, don’t mess around!”
jiang yun ignored him and ran off.
Jiang Bai was worried and could only chase after her.
