Chapter 422: A scheming teenager
The old lady happened to go downstairs, and the old lady was still listening to Jianlang, and when she went downstairs, she heard Jiang Xi's words.
"Jiang Xi, you're here."
When Jiang Xi heard the sound, he hurriedly got up and walked over, waiting at the staircase.
The old lady came down, and Jiang Xi reached out to help, "Mom, what are you doing upstairs?" β
Although the old lady is in good health, she is old after all, so the old lady's residence is downstairs, and she rarely goes upstairs.
Jiang Xi subconsciously raised his eyes and looked up.
The old lady smiled gently: "Go upstairs and take a look, by the way, why did you suddenly come back at this time today?" I didn't make a call in advance, is there something wrong? β
Jiang Xi nodded: "There is indeed something to ask your mother." β
The old lady sighed in her heart, could it be that Jiang Xi already knew?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat down in the hall, and the old lady was still able to hold it, gentle and still: "Just say something, we are a family." β
"Okay," Jiang Xi smiled and nodded: "Then I'll ask directly, Jiannian's ex-fiancΓ©e Miss Wen just went to the company to find me and showed me a lot of information, according to her, she left ten years ago and was already pregnant with Jiannian's child." And, she also gave birth to a child. That kid is currently settled with Mom and you, isn't it? β
These words were directly given to the bottom, and the old lady was also a little surprised.
Jiang Xi didn't avoid it at all, the old lady looked at Jiang Xi, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
I thought before, even if Jiang Xi came and asked this question, she wouldn't say it all, she still had room for explanation.
But this ......
The old lady subconsciously looked at Ah Xiang, and was begging Ah Xiang for help, how to respond now.
Ah Xiang was also stunned for a moment, the young lady is really, sincerely.
"Young grandma, actually, there must be a little misunderstanding in the middle, maybe you ......"
"There's a misunderstanding...... So, the child is fake? Did Miss Wen forge all those information? Child, also fake? β
Jiang Xi smiled innocently and harmlessly, and looked straight at Ah Xiang.
With that kind of look, who can bear to deceive?
"Grandma?"
A clean voice sounded behind the trio.
The old lady was almost startled by the voice, and she hurried to turn around, and the children stood in the middle of the hall, seven or eight paces away, staring at them.
The old lady felt a pain in her heart, that was her own grandson, did grandma not recognize her?
Ah Xiang looked at the old lady, and then at Jiang Xi, and found that Jiang Xi still had a faint smile on his face.
This makes Ah Xiang very incomprehensible.
The old lady sighed softly: "Qin Yan, come here." β
Wen Qinyan walked over slowly, stood beside the old lady obediently and sensibly, lowered her head slightly, and said nothing.
The old lady looked at the white and delicate child, and felt distressed.
How could Wen Lishan, that woman, take good care of the child?
That is a selfish woman who abandons the carnival and abandons everyone's high hopes for her own pleasure. Such a woman, even if she gives birth to this child, will she compromise anything for the child? Can you be a good mother?
The old lady didn't believe it, look at this child, his skin is so white, although he is not short, but he is thin. It's the time to grow the body, where is it good to be treated badly?
The old lady wanted the child to avoid it, not to come out all at once and stimulate Jiang Xi.
She didn't want to hurt anyone, and she would mention Jiang Xina politely, this is a child sent by her relatives. But you can't say this in front of Wen Qinyan, but now, looking at this child's bloodless face, the old lady really can't bear it.
"Is this the child that Miss Wen said?" Jiang Xi asked.
Is this kid only nine years old?
Children of this age, Jiang Xi has really come into contact with them, about the third grade, isn't Boss Liang's child at this age? But in total, Liang Junjie will be a little older than this child, but why is this child so tall?
The old lady nodded: "Jiang Xi, this matter should have been told to you cautiously, but you know it now......"
Jiang Xi waited for the old lady's explanation and rhetoric, it was not that she had a bad temper, she didn't want to get into trouble with the old man, and she would suppress any temper.
The old lady looked at Jiang Xi, paused, and tapped her tongue a few times before continuing.
"This kid, I'm planning to let him settle down at home, I don't know your opinion?"
"So, what the hell happened to his mother?" Jiang Xi asked rhetorically.
The old lady thought about it, "Lishan's physical condition is a little bad, and she didn't mention much about her condition." But the children have all been sent back, and it must be a last resort. β
Jiang Xi smiled: "What does the carnival mean?" I listened to him, after all, this child has something to do with him, and it is not appropriate for me to talk too much. β
The old lady thought for a while, "Yes, you should listen to the carnival." But he didn't accept the child. Xixi, you are a good child, you are kind-hearted, you see, can you persuade the carnival and let him leave the child in the Sheng family to raise? You can rest assured that Qin Yan is in the Sheng family and will not affect the lives of the two of you. I'll take care of the child, and I won't delay your business, how about it? β
"Mom, this child has recognized it, and I have no choice, so I can only admit it. Because he existed before Carnival met me, even though everyone didn't know about it. So, I can acquiesce in this matter, but I can't do it without minding in the slightest. I can only approve of the practice of the carnival. However, now is the year of the carnival cannot accept it, since he does not accept it, I must respect his meaning. β
"Awkward."
Before Jiang Xi finished speaking, the old lady answered again.
"Jiang Xi, you are a kind and good boy, and you can understand the severity of things. But, you know what? Carnival refuses to admit this child because he takes into account your feelings, so he doesn't want to admit it. But if you don't mind, you go and persuade the carnival, this thing will definitely come to pass? β
"Mom, what if you put yourself in my shoes?" Jiang Xi still smiled softly and spoke, but his tone did not back down at all.
When the old lady heard this, her eyes looked straight at Jiang Xi.
So, what are you trying to say? You don't want to persuade Carnival to leave a message, do you? β
Jiang Xi nodded: "Yes, Jia Nian himself is willing to keep this child, I have nothing to say." But he chose not to, so why should I go against him? β
"Young grandma, after all, the little young master is the flesh and blood of the fourth master, and the first child of the fourth master, even if you think about the fourth master, you should also persuade the fourth master."
"Mother Xiang, in the matter of your fourth master having an illegitimate child, all I can do is not to object." Jiang Xi said it seriously and word by word.
"So, don't try to persuade me to do anything, I've done what I can."
Jiang Xi's words made the old lady feel extremely bad.
She glanced at Wen Qinyan and said in a low voice, "Qinyan, let Xiang's mother take you for a walk in the backyard?" Grandma has something to say to Jiang Xi. β
Wen Qinyan nodded lightly, looked at Ah Xiang, Ah Xiang smiled, and then led Wen Qinyan to the back garden again.
Turning her back on the old lady and Jiang Xi, Ah Xiang asked in a low voice: "Little master, didn't Mother Xiang let you play in the back garden for a while?" Why don't you listen? Grandma still wants to talk to that young aunt, you go out now, it's not appropriate, you know? β
Wen Qinyan was silent, and when Ah Xiang was about to leave again, he said: "Xiangma, I was thinking that that sister would know about me sooner or later, so it was better to let her see it, this is a fact." Adults should learn to accept the facts, and it is useless for you to cover them up like this. β
Ah Xiang was slightly surprised and looked at Wen Qinyan.
Sure enough, this kid knows everything, but if he can say this in front of her, who knows what's going on in his heart?
"Yes, but you're here, and it's inconvenient to say a lot of things. So, little master, since you already exist, the Sheng family has no reason to hide your existence. You are also a child of the Sheng family, and the Sheng family will never let you be wronged again. β
"Perhaps, how could the Sheng family be willing to disclose my existence? My existence has more or less disgraced the Sheng family. My father, in particular, would face the gossip from the outside. Wen Qinyan still said softly.
Ah Xiang became more and more surprised, looking at the child.
"You ......"
How much does Wen Qinyan know?
Looking at how clean and well-behaved the child is, it is really scary to death.
"But these are not things you have to worry about, the Sheng family didn't know about your existence before, but now that you know, the Sheng family will no longer let you live a life where no one takes care of you. Young Master, you have to believe that no matter where you are in the future, you will not be the same as you used to live with your mother. Later your life will be the best, and your education will be the top. But little master, one thing you have to know is that the Sheng family is a very competitive place. When you can study, study hard, and after you succeed in your studies, it depends on your life where you can go. So, if you can provide the time to study well, you must study hard. If you could, it was not impossible that you would inherit your father's place in the future. β
"Xiang's mother forgot who my biological mother was, and it was embarrassing for me to appear in the Sheng family with such an identity. How can my father lift me up more in the future? Wen Qin said.
Ah Xiang smiled and shook her head: "Of course not, kid, you think of adults too utilitarianly." Maybe you heard it from your mother, but it's not true. β
Now that Ah Xiang has talked about this topic, she thinks it is necessary to untie the knot in this child's heart. Lest these misunderstandings plant the seeds of hatred and resentment in the hearts of children.
"Let me tell you this, Young Master Qinyan, in your second uncle's family, there is an elder brother named Sheng Jianglai, I think your mother must have mentioned that you look like the fourth master, but the one you are most like is actually your cousin Sheng Jianglai, that is, the young master of your second uncle's family. If Young Master Jiang Lai is successful in his studies and can have the courage to take charge on his own, and the Sheng family will sit in a high position in the future, it will be Young Master Jiang Lai. Now it's your father, but your father will definitely hand over the power of the Sheng family to your cousin in a fair manner. β
Ah Xiang looked at Wen Qinyan again and asked softly, "Do you understand?" In the Sheng family, it is strength, ability and character that speak. As long as you can, what's impossible for you to inherit the throne? However, there must be real talent, and no matter how wise your father is, when choosing the next head of the family, he will definitely be really responsible for not favoring anyone. β
