Chapter 49: The Victim
"Dad, didn't you invite Xu Ping?" Jiang Chuxue's mother looked at Old Man Jiang at this time and whispered.
She and Xu Ping have known each other for a long time, and they have a good impression of Xu Ping, and think that he is a good boy, so she wants to help Xu Ping resolve the embarrassment.
"Please?" The old man was noncommittal and looked at Xu Ping: "I asked Xiaoxue to call him." ”
"Dad, the visitor is a guest, if you have anything to say, let Xu Ping sit down and talk about it." Jiang Chuxue's mother requested.
Old Man Jiang snorted lightly, raised his head and asked, "Did I say I wouldn't let him sit down?" ”
"Ru Ping, don't talk nonsense!" Jiang Chuxue's father drank lightly at this time, and pressed his hand to Xu Ping: "Xu Ping, sit down." ”
Peng Ruping, the name of Jiang Chuxue's mother.
Xu Pingdao chuckled, and did not sit down in a hurry, but walked towards Old Man Jiang.
The face of the man in gorgeous clothes on the right hand of the old man changed, and he stood up and stopped him: "Boy, what are you going to do?" ”
Jiang Chuxue and the rest of the Jiang family also looked at Xu Ping suspiciously.
"Of course it's a gift, when I first came to the Jiang family, I brought a gift to the old man, could it be that Jiang Shao, do you think I want to murder the old man?" Xu Ping's smile did not change.
"Presumptuous!" The man in Chinese clothes snorted coldly and disagreed: "Just like you, what gift can you give to the old man?" Go back! ”
Xu Ping looked sideways at Old Man Jiang, who drank tea indifferently and never looked at him.
"Okay." Xu Ping understood the attitude of the Jiang family, nodded and sat back.
It seems that today's meal will definitely not be able to stop.
The maid began to serve the food, eighteen dishes and three soups, and as soon as the dishes were served, a person appeared at the door of the restaurant.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry I'm late."
The person who came was Jiang Hai, who was late, he walked into the restaurant with a guilty face, stood behind his position, and didn't dare to sit down.
"Sit down." Old Man Jiang gave himself a bowl of soup, and motioned for Jiang Hai to sit down.
"Thank you, grandpa." Jiang Hai pulled out a chair and sat down, glanced at Xu Ping, who was sitting at the end, and nodded slightly to him.
"Everyone is here, I'll say a few words before eating." Old Man Jiang gently blew the soup in the bowl and spoke hoarsely.
Except for him, no one else moved the dishes and chopsticks, watching him quietly, waiting for his next words.
"You should have all heard about what happened in Mochizuki Villa yesterday afternoon."
Old Man Jiang spoke slowly, and after finishing speaking, he took a sip of clear soup before continuing: "The Wu family's phone call came to me early this morning. ”
"I don't want to talk about extra nonsense, I don't have much to do, I don't have much to live, I want to live a clean life."
When his words fell, Jiang Chuxue's father and second uncle and third uncle spoke one after another:
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
"You must live a long life, and the days are still long!"
"Yes, Dad, don't say such unlucky things."
Old Man Jiang waved his hand, and there was no superfluous expression on his face: "I know my own body, and if I am lucky, it will only be a year or two at most." ”
"It's your business how you make a fuss after I die, I can't see it, and I can't control it."
"But I still have a breath now, so don't make trouble for me!"
Speaking of the latter sentence, Old Man Jiang's voice suddenly raised, and he looked at Jiang Chuxue: "Xiaoxue, when did you and this assistant start?" ”
"Grandpa, what's the beginning?" Jiang Chuxue was taken aback by the old man, but then she looked puzzled again.
"I ask when you started dating!" Old Man Jiang asked in a deep voice.
The man in gorgeous clothes sitting on the right hand side of the old man flashed a flash of schadenfreude and a trace of expectation in his eyes.
The rest of the Jiang family looked at Jiang Chuxue and Xu Ping with different expressions, and they all knew that the old man was angry.
Some sneered, some worried.
"Grandpa, you misunderstood, I have no relationship with Xu Ping." Jiang Chuxue lowered her head and explained.
"Dad, is someone talking to you about anything?" Jiang Chuxue's mother, Peng Ruping, also spoke at this time: "Xu Ping, this child was introduced to the company by me and worked as an assistant to Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue has always disliked him, how can they get along?" ”
"There's no relationship, so what's going on?" Old Man Jiang took out a photo from his pocket, threw it on the table, and tapped one finger on the table: "Who will explain to me?" ”
Jiang Chuxue's father picked up the photo and glanced at it first, with a hint of surprise on his face, looked at Xu Ping and Jiang Chuxue carefully, and then put the photo back on the table.
The dining table rotated, and everyone picked up the photo and watched it, the expressions on their faces became wonderful, and their eyes swept back and forth between Jiang Chuxue and Xu Ping.
Peng Ruping was even more surprised after seeing the photo and couldn't believe it.
Xu Ping and Jiang Chuxue also looked at the photo, which was a scene of Xu Ping hugging Jiang Chuxue at the reception!
Xu Ping in the photo looked lazy, squinting at a person, although the person only had one sideways, but he could still see that it was Liu Shicheng.
I didn't expect this scene to be photographed, and I also sent the photo to the old man.
"Xiaoxue, what the hell is going on?" Peng Ruping looked at Jiang Chuxue and asked.
"Sister-in-law, do you still need to ask?" Jiang Chuxue's second aunt sneered and said, "Obviously, your Xiaoxue has long been on good terms with this assistant named Xu Ping. ”
"Look at Xu Ping's expression in the photo, relying on the fame of our Jiang family and the support of Xiaoxue, he is playing prestige with others!"
"Oh, on weekdays, my dad taught us to be low-key when we are outside, don't look at no one because we are the Jiang family, this is good, Xiaoxue takes an outsider ......"
"Shut up!" The old man snorted coldly, and Jiang Chuxue's second aunt's words stagnated and stopped abruptly.
The restaurant was quiet, Old Man Jiang's eyes moved to Jiang Chuxue, with a touch of disappointment, and after staring for a long time, he sighed.
Jiang Chuxue wanted to speak several times and stopped, wanting to explain something, but any words seemed pale and powerless in front of this photo.
"Xiaoxue, you have grown up, I don't interfere with you talking about your boyfriend, and I won't ask you what you like about Xu Ping."
Old Man Jiang said to Jiang Chuxue earnestly: "How to choose is your freedom, I will give you two more choices now, and then tell me how you choose when you think clearly." ”
"The first choice, you break up with Xu Ping, take Xu Ping to apologize to Wu Wei tomorrow, and take out 100 million to the Wu family as atonement, no matter how Wu Wei and the Wu family punish Xu Ping, you are not allowed to interfere, and dismiss Xu Ping afterwards, you are still the president of the Jiang family."
As soon as the old man said this, the face of the man in gorgeous clothes sitting on his right hand changed slightly, and there was a flash of anger in his eyes.
After saying the first choice, Old Man Jiang looked at Jiang Chuxue and hoped that she would immediately open her mouth to choose this first choice.
It's just that what disappointed him was that Jiang Chuxue shook his head after glancing at Xu Ping: "Grandpa, what about the second choice?" ”
Old Man Jiang's eyes drooped slightly, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes disappeared, as if he was more than ten years old in an instant: "The second choice, you leave the Jiang family, you are no longer the president of the Jiang Group, and I will not ask about you and Xu Ping again." ”
"I will make a name for myself to the Wu family, and you and Xu Ping have nothing to do with my Jiang family."
When these words fell, everyone in the restaurant gasped, they didn't expect the punishment given by the old man to be so heavy!
If the first choice is Old Man Jiang's favor for Jiang Chuxue, then this second choice is a merciless punishment.
Leaving the Jiang family is the heaviest punishment for every Jiang family.
Without the identity of the Jiang family, they will lose their former glory in an instant and fall from the circle of high society.
The man sitting on the right hand side of Old Man Jiang burst out with a strong light in his eyes, looking at Jiang Chuxue, hoping that she would quickly choose the second choice.
Jiang Chuxue's body trembled slightly, and she looked a little weak at this time, who had always been strong.
She raised her head to look at Old Man Jiang and asked stubbornly, "Isn't there a third choice?" ”
"Nope." Old Man Jiang shook his head lightly.
"No matter how I choose these two choices, Xu Ping will have an accident!"
Jiang Chuxue didn't know why she cared so much about Xu Ping's safety, she gritted her teeth and said: "The first choice, I will take him to apologize to Wu Wei, and I can't interfere with the Wu family's punishment of him, he will definitely not have a good result!" ”
"The second choice, I leave the Jiang family, I am no longer the Jiang family, and I will lose the qualification to talk to the Wu family, the Wu family may be afraid that I used to be your granddaughter, and I will not do anything to me, but Xu Ping will definitely be retaliated against by them!"
Jiang Chuxue saw very clearly that no matter what she chosen, Xu Ping would become a victim.
