Chapter 20: The Wishful Thinking Works Well
Old Jiang had no choice; he doted on his granddaughter Jiang Huan the most, especially since she was now his only remaining family member.
Now he only has this granddaughter left, and he doesn't even love her. What more do you want from him?
Seeing her clinging to him like that, his heart melted, and he said indulgently, "Alright, alright, Huanhuan will stay with Grandpa."
When they arrived at the small garden, Old Jiang's face was gloomy.
"Brother, we've been quite busy these past few days, and the journey has been long, which is why our whole family is late. It's our fault for not being able to see off our fine sons of the Jiang family on time!"
The first to speak was one of the older members of the group.
That was Second Grandfather Jiang, Old Master Jiang's cousin.
Old Jiang glanced at them coldly and said, "The funeral is over. If you want to say goodbye, just go to the cemetery."
“We’ll go later!” said Second Grandfather Jiang. “We just wanted to come see you before we go. You must take care of yourself after such a terrible thing has happened! Now it’s just you and Huanhuan left at home, so please take good care of yourself! If things are really not going well in the business, your second brother can help you out.”
"I'm perfectly healthy! I don't need you to worry about me," Old Jiang said without changing his expression. "If you have nothing else to do, you can leave now. Huanhuan and I both need to go back and rest."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jiang Er rubbed his hands together and said with a fawning smile, "Brother, the reason our family came here today is actually... we have a few important things to discuss."
"Oh? Tell me about it." Old Jiang raised his eyes and glanced at him.
“The Jiang family is large and powerful, and now there are only you two left, an old man and a young child, which makes it very difficult to manage. So... so I, your second brother, am willing to bring the children to live with the Jiang family and help you manage the Jiang family's business, so that you can enjoy your old age without having to work so hard. Of course, we will also take good care of Huanhuan and will never let Huanhuan suffer any grievances.”
As he spoke, Second Master Jiang smiled obsequiously, his greedy thoughts practically written all over his face; he was practically telling Old Master Jiang directly.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Huan's lips curled into a slight smile, but she inwardly scoffed, her eyes filled with disdain.
The Jiang family has come this far step by step; it's understandable that these people don't fight alongside them, since everyone has their own ambitions.
But when their brother's abilities were questioned and they were humiliated, these people from the collateral branch of the family were cowards and never stepped forward to help.
Ever since news of his father's death spread, the collateral branches of the Jiang family have been making moves.
Seeing that only she and her grandfather remained in the Jiang family, they swarmed around her like wolves smelling meat. How shameless!
Old Master Jiang narrowed his eyes, his gaze darkening: "Oh? You're willing to move into the Jiang family home? And you're willing to manage the Jiang family's businesses?"
"Yes! We are willing," said Grandpa Jiang, suppressing his excitement.
"So how do you plan to manage it?"
Grandpa Jiang the Second thought the trip had been worthwhile and spoke his mind directly, "I can become a director and help you manage the group, brother. My third son can take positions in various companies under the Jiang family and manage the business well. If possible, my fourth son and his father could also go to the Northwest as military officers or something with your recommendation..."
Jiang Huan couldn't help but shake her head when she saw it.
Her grandfather is still alive, and they've already made such grand plans and have such huge appetites.
Wanting both is simply wishful thinking!
After listening to Second Grandfather Jiang's "bold words," Old Master Jiang raised his cane and pointed towards the gate, saying, "Look over there."
Grandpa Jiang and the others looked over in confusion.
"Big brother, is there anything over there?"
"We'll find out when we get there," Old Jiang said calmly. "Butler, take them there."
"Yes." Butler Wang pursed his smile. "Come with me."
Grandpa Jiang and the others, unaware of what Old Master Jiang was up to, blindly followed Steward Wang, drawn by the promise of a lucrative opportunity with the Jiang family.
Old Master Jiang watched their retreating figures with disdain in his eyes: "With brains like that, they dare to covet the Jiang family's assets? Wishful thinking!"
"Hehe." Jiang Huan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She understood.
Grandpa's perverse sense of humor meant that Second Grandfather Jiang and the others should turn left and get out of here!
"Huanhuan, what are you laughing at?" Old Jiang was startled and turned to look at her suspiciously.
"Happy, happy." Jiang Huan laughed even harder, concealing the other expression in her eyes.
"Oh? Why is Huanhuan so happy?" Old Jiang asked tentatively.
He always felt that his granddaughter had changed a little. Today, he would often see her eyes shining brightly, like the eyes of a cunning fox, but whenever he looked at her again, they would return to their original blank expression.
"I'm just happy." Jiang Huan grinned, her smile radiant.
Seeing this, Old Jiang sighed and patted her head, "As long as you're happy, Huanhuan should be happy, and she should be happy in the future... Very good."
so good!
A three-year-old child understands nothing and cannot feel sadness or grief.
Let him, a man with one foot in the grave, bear the pain of losing his family!
"Grandpa, let's go back for lunch!"
"Okay, let's go have lunch!"
……
The moment Grandpa Jiang stepped out of the Jiang family gate, he suddenly realized something, turned around and saw that Grandpa Jiang and his grandson were no longer in the front yard. He was so anxious that he wanted to go back.
"What is Second Master doing?" Butler Wang reached out and put his arm around him.
"How dare you, a mere steward, stop me?" Second Master Jiang glared at him.
Butler Wang remained unfazed: "Fifth Master, our old master has already made it very clear that you should turn left when you go out."
“There’s only one road if you turn left, what’s the big deal?” Grandpa Jiang said angrily.
Seeing this, Butler Wang coldly retorted, "Isn't there a way for you to take?"
If these people still don't understand the old master's meaning now that things have come to this point, then they are truly foolish!
Grandpa Jiang Er immediately understood, and said with a dark face, "If you don't want us to manage the Jiang family's business, then just say so. What kind of nonsense is this, playing games with us like this! No way! I'm going to see you, I'm going to find out!"
Seeing this, Butler Wang waved his hand.
The Jiang family's bodyguards stepped forward.
"Keep an eye on them and don't let them set foot in the Jiang family compound again."
"Yes!"
Grandpa Jiang was furious: "What right do you have to stop us! If you dare to treat me like this, I will never let you off the hook when I am in charge of the Jiang family!"
Butler Wang scoffed, "You think you can touch the Jiang family's business? You must be dreaming!"
"Hmph!" Second Master Jiang glared and puffed out his beard. "If our eldest brother doesn't rely on us, does he expect him to rely on that stupid... child, Jiang Huan? What kind of future can a three-year-old who only knows how to eat, drink, and relieve himself achieve?"
Upon hearing this, Butler Wang glanced at her coldly and said, "Miss Fifth will definitely recover!"
"Nonsence!"
Jiang Yuheng, the grandson of Second Grandfather Jiang, spat: "If she could recover, she would have recovered long ago! She was an idiot before, she is now, and she always will be! She'll be a silly child who never grows up for the rest of her life! As for the old man, his health is already like that, he's just a decrepit old man, how can he hold on... ah!"
The seemingly frail butler, Butler Wang, kicked Jiang Yuheng three steps away.
