Chapter 17: Grandpa Jiang who went astray
Xin Xiaoyue and Shang Yuetang passed the gate and walked hand in hand in the garden.
"Did you notice it too?" Xin Xiaoyue asked softly.
"I'm here to protect you. I naturally have eyes and ears to listen to." Shang Yuetang replied with a smile.
"Thank you." Xin Xiaoyue thanked her sincerely.
"One family doesn't talk to each other." Shang Yuetang held her tight.
When Xin Xiaoyue heard the word "family", she felt sour in her heart. Originally, the people in this house were connected to her by blood, but what they did was to push her into the fire pit and eat them all without spitting out the bones.
.
But Wang Xuan, Yue Fengshu, Zhang Jiaying, and Shang Yuetang, who are not related by blood, have always treated her as family and taken care of her.
Sometimes, the so-called blood relatives are only related by blood, and the behavior of scheming people is simply terrifying and shocking.
"Xiaoyue, you're back." Standing at the door to greet Xin Xiaoyue was He Tianyun.
Wearing a well-tailored dress and a kind-hearted fake smile, Xin Xiaoyue had no smile or disgust on her face. She just said "yes" and then solemnly introduced Shang Yuetang.
"I asked Xiaoyue to bring her classmates back for dinner a long time ago." He Tianyun's polite words were blunt.
Shang Yuetang was very generous and said, "Auntie, you don't have to be polite. Xiaoyue and I are like sisters. We have never been fussy about things, nor are we constrained by false etiquette."
He Tianyun was stunned and quickly said: "Children who study well speak differently."
"Auntie is ridiculous. This is human nature and has nothing to do with knowledge." Shang Yuetang smiled, then ignored He Tianyun, but turned to Xin Xiaoyue and said: "It's lunch time now, let's be hungry.
It doesn't matter, we can't let the elders wait for us juniors."
"Well, you're right." Xin Xiaoyue nodded in agreement, and the two of them entered the main hall one after another, not paying attention to He Tianyun.
The family dinner was arranged in the flower hall on the second floor. When the two of them walked up the stairs side by side, Xin Xiaoyue lowered her eyes and whispered to Shang Yuetang: "Today, we will wait and see what tricks they are going to play."
"Don't worry, the masters won't attack easily. I will eat whatever I can." Shang Yuetang hid his face and chuckled.
"This way of laughing is not suitable for you." Xin Xiaoyue said.
Shang Yuetang's smile grew stronger, but because he was in someone else's house, he just suppressed his laughter, but unexpectedly when he looked up, he saw a man in a suit and leather shoes standing at the screen at the stairway on the second floor.
The man is about 1.8 meters tall, with a well-tailored suit, a moderately fat figure, and decent facial features. At first glance, he looks like a handsome guy, but his eyes are full of scrutiny, which makes people uncomfortable.
Shang Yuetang finished looking at her in an instant, but the man took a step forward and said to Xin Xiaoyue: "I am Jiang Chengyou, hello."
"Hello, I'm Xin Xiaoyue." Xin Xiaoyue answered in a routine manner, wondering if this was the husband the old fox wanted to match for her, right?
Jiang Chengyou nodded politely to her, looked at Shang Yuetang, smiled and asked, "Where is this one?"
"Hello, I am Shang Yuetang." Shang Yuetang also continued to answer.
Jiang Chengyou thought it was very interesting, but he didn't say much. He just made an invitation gesture and said: "Two beauties, please take a seat."
Xin Xiaoyue thanked her and went to the table with Shang Yuetang.
It was said to be a family banquet, but only the old fox and the energetic Mr. Jiang were sitting at the banquet. At this time, the two old guys were sitting very close to each other and chatting.
Jiang Chengyou naturally sat down on the right side of Mr. Jiang.
"Hello, Grandpa Jiang." Xin Xiaoyue stood still and saluted Mr. Jiang.
"This is Xiaoyue?" Mr. Jiang stopped chatting and turned to look at Xin Xiaoyue.
"Yes, I am Xiaoyue." Xin Xiaoyue replied.
When Mr. Jiang looked at her, his eyes lit up. When he first saw this child, he felt that she was clean and had a classic temperament but was not weak at all. His eyes were bright and smart, and he was also very smart.
This girl's behavior, temperament, and eyes look very much like her eldest daughter who died young back then!
At this first glance, Mr. Jiang's favorable impression of Xin Xiaoyue started to rise. He immediately felt that such a woman is the ideal grandson-in-law of the Jiang family!
So Mr. Jiang began to fantasize: This girl will be with Lao Jiu in the future.
As a result, when Mr. Jiang thought this way, he immediately felt that it was not possible.
Lao Jiu has such a bad temper that every word seems to make people angry. And he is also rumored to like men...
If this girl wants to follow Lao Jiu, will she be doing something wrong? Will she be ruining her life?
At this moment, Mr. Jiang's previous idea of choosing a wife for his grandson was shaken.
Mr. Jiang was stunned, and Old Fox Xin quickly smoothed things over. He looked at Shang Yuetang and asked, "Xiaoyue, who is this?"
Xin Xiaoyue introduced Shang Yuetang and introduced everyone to Shang Yuetang. Shang Yuetang also responded to them one by one.
Only then did Mr. Jiang react and hurriedly drove Jiang Chengyou away and asked Xin Xiaoyue and Shang Yuetang to sit next to him.
"Grandpa!" Jiang Chengyou shouted aggrievedly.
"You go while I'm chatting with Xiaoyue." Grandpa Jiang said directly.
Jiang Chengyou looked aggrieved and sat down on Shang Yuetang's right hand, watching shrewdly every move of Shang Yuetang and Xin Xiaoyue.
Shang Yuetang looked like he was listening to Mr. Jiang's conversation attentively, but unexpectedly, he turned around and looked at Jiang Chengyou with a half-smile.
Even though Jiang Chengyou was used to seeing troubles, he was shocked and confused when he was caught in such a direct way.
"You scared me to death." He said directly.
"Is he a man?" Shang Yuetang sneered softly.
"Do you want to try it?" Jiang Chengyou is usually sanctimonious, but he also has a poisonous tongue.
Unexpectedly, Shang Yuetang had a delicate face and a high rank. Faced with Jiang Chengyou's provocation, she said contemptuously: "It's better not to give up. I cherish my life and am afraid that if I try, I will discover your hidden disease.
You kill people and silence them."
When Jiang Chengyou heard this, wasn't he scolding him in a roundabout way?
"Ha, if you don't dare, you just don't dare." Jiang Chengyou sneered.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Shang Yuetang didn't look at him, being a good girl and listening to what Grandpa Jiang said.
As soon as Mr. Jiang saw Xin Xiaoyue, he thought of his eldest daughter who had died young. He was so fond of him that he put Old Fox Xin aside and said kindly: "I heard from your grandfather earlier that you are very good at reading."
, and he is well-behaved and obedient, and he is learning every day.”
Xin Xiaoyue glanced at the old fox and said: "Life is short, and you must not waste every minute."
Mr. Jiang nodded with satisfaction and asked her why she insisted on staying in Jincheng when she was the top candidate in the provincial college entrance examination with such a high score, instead of going to a good school in Beijing or Shanghai.
