Chapter 7: Adopted Daughter
On the outskirts of Beishan City, a black Maybach goes all the way up along the winding and wide asphalt road, this piece of land in Jiangcheng is flat, and the only mountain range that can be seen is probably this side of Beishan, because of the sea, it is also the first choice for many rare rich and noble families in Jiangcheng.
Turning over the mountain along the mountain road, it is the Beijiang River that leads directly into the sea, which is also the mother river of the people on this side of Jiangcheng.
And the old mansion of the Jiang family, that is, the Beishan Manor on the side of Jiangcheng, is located here.
Xu Zhexia supported her head with one hand, closed her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking, she was the kind of eyes that were very bright, very good-looking, especially the long and curled eyelashes, gently on the eyelids, it was completely a beauty painting.
Her head recalled what she had just heard when she was in the hospital, and a subtle smile flashed in her eyes, but it was only for a moment, and it was quickly covered up by him.
Maybach stopped steadily at the gate of the manor, Jiang Yanzhi opened the car door for Xu Zhexia, and then stretched out his arm to her, let her gently put it on her arm, and then carefully helped herself out of the car.
As soon as Xu Zhexia landed on one foot, he saw a graceful and luxurious woman standing at the door,
She was wearing a bracelet carved from jasper in her hand, with a just right smile on her face, her eyebrows were full of love, and when she looked at Xu Zhexia, the tenderness in her eyes seemed to be about to overflow.
The noble lady crossed Jiang Yanzhi, took Xu Zhexia's hand, and looked at the person carefully up and down, and when she accidentally saw the inconspicuous red mark on Xu Zhexia's neck, the smile on her face visibly deepened a little.
"How is it, Xianxian is okay? I was scared to death of my mother, why did I get into the hospital? ”
Mother Jiang took Xu Zhexia's hand and the two of them walked towards the manor, completely forgetting about Jiang Yanzhi who was following her.
The man was not annoyed, he just followed behind the two people silently, listening to the words of the two people, whether he interjected to explain a few sentences.
The Jiang family is worthy of being the richest man in Jiangcheng, the entire mountain on this side of Beishan has been circled and a manor has been built, especially here, where the yard is full of roses, and even the fountain in the middle is entangled in rose vines, and all of this is because Jiang's mother liked roses the most when she was young, and the roses in this yard were all planted by Jiang's father in a bunch and personally planted for Jiang's mother.
The entire manor is a story of Jiang's father's love for Jiang's mother.
Xu Zhexia followed Jiang Mu, and the two of them walked through the rose forest and walked to the living room.
Along the way, Jiang's mother blamed Jiang Yanzhi for not taking good care of her baby daughter-in-law, Xu Zhexia just smiled and didn't pick up the stubble, but followed Jiang Yanzhi behind her, whispering that she was not biological.
"You, it's really not my own, it's Xianxian when he was three years old, picking up land by the trash can outside the manor."
Mother Jiang pulled Xu Zhixia to sit down, waiting for Jiang Yan, who was already impatient.
It just so happened that at this time, Father Jiang came down from upstairs, and the sound of talking reached his ears, and the man coughed twice unconsciously, attracting Mother Jiang's attention.
"Yo, you still know it, I thought you didn't want to see my son and daughter-in-law hiding deliberately."
The two were probably arguing, and they didn't speak very well.
"That's my son, my daughter-in-law, why didn't I come?"
Mother Jiang didn't continue to talk to her, but just took out the gift she had prepared for Xu Zhexia a long time ago.
A piece of ice-clear jade was gently worn on Xu Zhexia's wrist, and it looked like the craftsmanship on Jiang Mu's wrist was better.
Xu Zhexia was probably surprised by her mother-in-law's generous gift, and her good-looking brows furrowed slightly, wanting to refuse this luxurious gift.
"Mom, I don't have to bring these things, isn't it a waste for you to give me?"
She reached out to pick the jade on her wrist, but Jiang Mu directly pressed her hand and sighed softly: "This is a gift prepared by my mother for you, don't look at this thing looks ordinary, but it is really good to grow water." ”
Xu Zhexia naturally knew that she had misunderstood her consciousness, and explained: "Mom, your thing is too valuable, I often go out, it's not good to bring this kind of thing." ”
She smiled and wanted to refuse, but as soon as she spoke, she heard her mother-in-law speak very understandingly: "Oh, I know what you're afraid of, but this is a gift from your mother, you just accept it, Jiang Yanzhi usually doesn't know what good things to buy for you, our girl's family has to use money to pile it up, so that it will look delicate, and others will not bully you." ”
Jiang Mu said, and took off the pigeon blood ruby ring on her finger and put it on Xu Zhexia, looking at the ring that did not fit her finger circumference but was forced in, Xu Zhexia felt a little crying and laughing for a while.
In particular, Father Jiang nodded at Xu Zhexia in special agreement and expressed his support.
He took a sip of the newly shipped Longjing in his hand, and then spoke to Jiang Yanzhi: "You too, you have been married for two years, and you don't know how to take Zhe Xia to the auction, and you don't know how to hurt your wife at all." ”
Jiang Yanzhi could only respond again and again, and guaranteed that the next gem show in South Africa would definitely bring Xu Zhixia to participate.
Xu Zhexia just smiled and sighed, this is probably why he is not happy to meet the ancestral house, he is so enthusiastic, Xu Zhexia sometimes even thinks, so why they are so good to themselves, probably because.....
Guilty?
Xu Zhexia suddenly didn't want to, in fact, it didn't matter if she knew it or not, she was still Xu Zhexia, and she wouldn't change anything because of it.
Thinking like this, Xu Zhexia showed a smile, generously accepted the gift given by Jiang's mother, and expressed her gratitude, as for the ring, she still politely returned it.
Father Jiang looked at her, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and then asked Mother Jiang: "Didn't you prepare pigeon soup for Xianxian before?" Check it out. ”
When he spoke, he wanted to drive Jiang Mu away, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Oops, I almost forgot, I'm going to see the pigeon soup."
With that, Jiang Mu put down her hand, got up and walked to the kitchen.
"Second child, hurry up and go with your mother to have a look, beware of her hot."
How could Jiang Yanzhi not understand the meaning of his father's words, he glanced at Xu Zhexia who was doing it on the leather sofa with some concern, saw that the other party smiled at him, and said a word of go, before getting up and following Jiang Mu's steps.
In the huge living room, the two daughters-in-law looked at each other.
Xu Zhexia understood that it was deliberately arranged by Father Jiang, and she felt a little nervous sitting here, probably because of the oppressive force of men on her body, Xu Zhexia was quite her father-in-law.
Father Jiang thought for a while, looked at Xu Zhexia, and then slowly spoke: "Xia Xia, is it the bureau where you went to the "Midsummer" movie today?" ”
He is not an inkblot person, and he treats juniors quite kindly, speaks directly, and does not give people a lot of pressure.
Xu Zhexia nodded lightly, she felt that there was nothing bad to say, they were all a family, and if the Jiang family really wanted to invest in the movie "Midsummer", Father Jiang would know sooner or later, so Xu Zhexia did not hesitate, and nodded directly and admitted.
Father Jiang picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip gently, as if he was thinking about what to say.
"Xia Xia, dad thinks so, the project "Midsummer", I know it is quite important to you, so I still support your participation in this movie, it's just ....."
Father Jiang hesitated for a moment, looked at Xu Zhexia and sighed silently, "It's just that I think you can rely on the banquet and the Jiang family appropriately, and all the resources in the family are prepared for you." ”
He naturally knew Xu Zhexia, after all, he grew up watching it, and it may not be clear what he was thinking in his heart.
Seeing from a distance that Jiang Mu was about to come out of the kitchen, he patted Xu Zhexia on the shoulder, leaving only one sentence: "Take a moment to see your mother." ”
A trace of emotion flashed in Xu Zhexia's eyes, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed, she bowed her head and said hello, and did not continue to speak.
There was a sound of a car at the door of the manor, Jiang Yanzhi held the freshly stewed pigeon soup in his hand, and carefully brought it to Xu Zhexia, Jiang Mu had just come out of the kitchen, her beautiful eyebrows were frowned together, and she stretched her neck to look out of the door.
A brightly dressed woman got out of the car, she smiled at the corners of her mouth, and her lips were bright red lipstick, obviously a graceful and atmospheric face, but it was painted a little bitterly.
She looked at Mother Jiang, slightly hooked the corners of her lips, and her voice was pretentious: "Mom, why don't you call me when you have dinner at the ancestral house today." ”
The woman's name is Xue Yao, and she is the adopted daughter of the Jiang family, but she was sent out because of Xu Zhexia.
And Xue Yao likes Jiang Yanzhi the most, from childhood to adulthood, but everything about Jiang Yanzhi, she is on the front line, and her love for Jiang Yanzhi can be said to permeate her entire childhood.
She even broke through Grandpa Jiang's wall, as long as Jiang Yanzhi was willing, she would be the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family.
It's just a pity that all of this was ruined on the day Xu Zhexia came to the Jiang family.
It can be said that Xu Zhexia is her lifelong enemy of Xue Yao.
She turned from love to hatred for Jiang Yanzhi, not only because of Xu Zhexia's appearance, but also because Jiang Yanzhi ignored him, and she didn't even have the slightest intention of resisting, so she opened her arms and accepted Xu Zhexia.
Xue Yao went abroad that year, and this year is the third year she has returned to China, but it is the first time she has returned to the Jiang family.
She looked at Jiang Mu's somewhat stiff face, but she just smiled, glanced at Jiang Yanzhi who was standing on the side, and then walked into the living room in a dignified manner, staring at Xu Zhexia not far away with a pair of eyes.
The corners of Xue Yao's mouth hooked an arc: "It turns out that Sister Zhexia is also here, I remember that you are not going to a movie today?" ”
