And Jiang Xiaoxiao did this, and the blow to Master Jiang was also very bad, and he even fell seriously ill, and the Jiang family's business also dimmed all of a sudden.

"After your grandfather recovered from his illness, his health was not as good as before, and during that time, I was not in China, my mother didn't even know a word, so naturally I couldn't help your grandfather take care of the business, and the idea of foreign supermarkets gradually entered the country, and the business of department stores was greatly affected. Although it will not go out of business, the business will certainly not be as good as before.

In the following years, your grandfather has been inquiring about your mother, and I have been looking for it several times when I have returned from abroad, and although I have found it once, your mother is not willing to come back, and soon left again. He also cut off contact with his family. Later, fifteen years ago, your grandfather and my mother passed away one after another, and the Jiang family's property was handed over to me and a few cousins, but I didn't know how to do business, at best, I only supported the table a little, and many of your cousins and uncles were doing it. And before your grandfather died, he asked us to close the department store and invest in several other industries, but each of them was not very good.

Now the Jiang family is scattered, although there is nothing to do, but there are still some basic properties left. Jiang Meiling took her down from the cemetery, and after walking all the way, she also said that the changes of the Jiang family in the past hundred years were almost complete.

"Auntie, won't my mother be blamed by my grandfather?" Stopping, Mucha bowed his head slightly and said.

"Why?" Jiang Meiling was puzzled.

"Because, if it weren't for my mother's willfulness, he wouldn't have been sick and wouldn't have ...... for a man" Before she could say anything, Jiang Meiling shook her head and said: "No, Dad, he never blamed your mother, he just blamed himself for being too selfish at the time and didn't think about your mother." Your mother is a very gentle person, even if she was born in the Jiang family, she doesn't have the temper of the eldest lady. But your grandfather wanted to train her to be an heir, and he kept her learning a lot. I think your mom will leave not only because of the man's relationship, but more because she doesn't want to continue to live like that. ”

Looking down at her toes, Mucha didn't say anything anymore, feeling a little guilty about her grandfather.

Sighing softly, Jiang Meiling asked the driver to open the car door, and then said, "Xia Xia, come with me somewhere again." ”

"yes, okay."

and Jiang Meiling returned to the car, and the driver quickly drove them away from the cemetery.

Jiang Meiling also continued to talk about the situation of the Jiang family on the road.

"The Jiang family's main investment industry now is shopping malls, but there are also some real estate and storefronts. These three industries are all managed by Jiangshi Group, and although I am the nominal chairman, the main managers are your three cousins. And we have not been in these three industries for a long time, although the concept of shopping malls and department stores is the closest, but your three uncles are not very good at business, and now the competition is so fierce, business is becoming more and more difficult to do. In the past few years, we have almost been eating our old books, and if we don't think of a way, the Jiang family may be defeated in our hands. Saying that, Jiang Meiling showed such a worried expression in front of Mucha for the first time.

"Auntie, don't worry, there will be a way." Although she didn't know what to do, she believed that there was no end to it.

Jiang Meiling looked at her gently, and then sighed softly: "Actually, it's still my fault, if my body wasn't so weak, or maybe I got your mother back earlier and let her inherit the Jiang family smoothly, maybe the Jiang family wouldn't have come to this point." ”

"Auntie, you don't want to take everything wrong on yourself, it's not your fault." Mucha looked at her distressedly, "You have already done what you should do, you are not sorry for the Jiang family, so you don't have to blame yourself." ”

Jiang Meiling touched her face kindly, and there was a little guilt in her gentle eyes.

"Xia Xia, there are some things, it doesn't mean that you can do enough. There is a kind of responsibility that once it is pressed down, it cannot be relieved of it. No matter how much you do, if you can't keep it, then it's not just yourself who is sorry, but the hard work of several generations of the Jiang family, and even the efforts of those who have followed the Jiang family for decades. So once something becomes everyone's, then we can only try our best to protect it, and we can't give it up easily. ”

Looking at Mucha in front of her, although Jiang Meiling didn't want to hand over this mess to her, she didn't want the Jiang family to lose like this.

And her words undoubtedly woke up Mucha.

Once something becomes everyone's, it is the work of several generations, and it is not something that one person can give up if he says give up.

Suddenly, she understood what Nanfeng was saying; Maiqi is Maiqi, and Chu Mofan is Chu Mofan himself. If he wants to protect Maiqi, it is not his personal interest, but the hard work of many people, including the past generations.

That's why he would rather do that kind of thing to Yan Si, and he would not hesitate to do it?

"Xia Xia, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that her expression suddenly became in a trance, Jiang Meiling asked.

"No, it's okay...... Auntie, don't worry, the Jiang family won't lose. Shaking her head, Mucha said to her. yes, I thought so too. Jiang Meiling nodded and said.

The car returned to the city, but did not go back to the south house, and went to another place, which is another area, which belongs to the old city, but those houses are very large and luxurious, just like the old villas of decades ago.

Stopping in front of an old villa of the Republic of China with red walls and black tiles, Jiang Meiling pulled Mucha out of the car. Then the doorman immediately opened the towering iron door for them, and an old servant about sixty years old, dressed in a gray tunic and ran out to greet them: "Miss, you are back!" ”

"Yes, you're back, how are you Song Bo?" Jiang Meiling nodded at him and smiled.

"Okay, thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Song nodded very kindly, and then looked at Mucha behind Jiang Meiling. And when he saw her for the first time, he was stunned, and then he opened his old eyes that were a little dizzy, and even rubbed it twice and pointed at Mucha and said in a trembling voice: "Little, Miss! Miss, you're back! After saying this, Song Bo actually started crying.

Mucha was stunned at the door and looked at the white-haired old maid at a loss, Jiang Meiling hurriedly supported the crying old maid: "Uncle Song, Uncle Song, you are mistaken, this is not Xiaoxiao, she is not!" ”

"W-What?" Song Bo stopped crying, and his dim eyes stared at Mucha carefully, too, although this young lady looks alike, it is different from the young lady who likes to wear cheongsam and likes to have long hair in his memory.

"Uncle Song, this is Xiaoxiao's daughter, Xia Xia. Not Xiaoxiao herself. Jiang Meiling explained again.

Although Song Bo's eyes are a little flowery, his ears are not deaf and his heart is clear.

"Miss, you mean, this is Miss? The granddaughter of the old man? ”

"Hmm." Jiang Meiling nodded, and then said to Muxia: "Xia Xia, this is Uncle Song, an old housekeeper who has been in our Jiang family for more than forty years, he used to watch your mother grow up, and he is also an old man who has served your grandfather all his life. You just call Grandpa Song. ”

Mucha nodded clearly, bowed slightly to Uncle Song, and said, "Grandpa Song is good." ”

"Hey, hello, hello......" kept looking at Muxia, Song Bo looked at her more and more likely, and then remembered something and looked into the car behind her: "What about Miss?" Didn't the lady come with you? ”

At the mention of Jiang Xiaoxiao, Jiang Meiling's eyes darkened slightly, and she said to Song Bo: "Uncle Song, go in and say, I want to take Xia Xia to see our house." ”

Hearing Jiang Meiling say this, Uncle Song didn't delay much and immediately welcomed them into the house.

Jiang Meiling walked in with Song Bo, but Mucha walked very slowly.

Looking at this two-story old villa full of architectural characteristics of the Republic of China, although it has lost its glory and liveliness of the past, it is still well maintained inside.

The courtyard is full of lilacs and roses, leaving only an elegant path leading to the gate. The stone pillars in front of the gate are made of pure marble, and the arched marble bed edges are modeled after the style of Western architecture, but the red brick walls and black tiles are clearly in the new Chinese style.

I didn't expect to see such an old and old house here.

"Xia Xia, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Mucha didn't follow, Jiang Meiling went in and came out.

Shaking his head, Mucha quickened his pace and walked to the porch: "This house is so beautiful. ”

Jiang Meiling laughed and said, "Yes, this house was bought by your grandfather when we were young, and it was very famous at that time. Your mother......" Eyes moved to the garden, Jiang Meiling looked at the cloves and roses in the yard, "I like singing and dancing in this yard the most." ”

Mucha also looked back, thinking that in the spring, this place must be even more beautiful than it looks now.

"Alright, let's talk about it first." Retracting her gaze, Jiang Meiling pulled her into the house.

Song Bo has already made tea for them, and the interior decoration of the house is also new Chinese, with Western sofas and some Chinese-style furniture, and a large chandelier hanging down in the living room is very retro and beautiful.

"Miss, sit down." Song Bo was standing aside with the tray, and he was already crying with joy, and said with a smile. "Uncle Song, you can sit down too, don't be polite to us." Nodding, Jiang Meiling sat down on the sofa, and Mucha sat next to her.

Hearing Jiang Meiling's words, Song Bo nodded slightly, then sat down on the sofa next to them, looked at them, especially Mu Xia and said, "Looking at it like this, I really thought it was Miss who came back." ”

Jiang Meiling picked up the teacup, followed his words and looked at Muxia, and then smiled: "Yes, sometimes I feel the same way." ”

Mucha was very embarrassed by them, and could only bow her head slightly.

Song Boluo smiled slightly, and then said: "The eldest miss, the little lady, she ......" When asked about this, he showed a worried expression.

Jiang Meiling held the teacup in her palm, lowered her eyes and sighed softly. Mucha looked around at them and knew that Jiang Meiling couldn't speak, so she said, "Grandpa Song, my mother has been dead for many years. ”

"Ahh Hearing this, Song Bo was still shocked, although he saw the clue from Jiang Meiling's expression just now, and had some premonitions. After being shocked, he bowed his head slightly and said sadly, "How can this be." ”

"I don't know how she died, I lost my memory from what happened when I was a child." Mucha said faintly.
