Xiao Yue had no expression on his face. He nodded slightly and politely called him, "Mr. Jiang."
Elder Jiang raised his hand and patted his shoulder, his tone was both praise and envy: "Xiao Qing has a good grandson."
Hearing this, Xiao Fengnian paused, feeling a little bitter in his heart. This good grandson might be someone else's. Xiao Yue, who was standing by, keenly noticed Xiao Fengnian's emotions. He did not respond to Mr. Jiang's praise, but stepped back and returned to Shiye.
Shi also squeezed his hand, with a smile in her deer-like eyes, and smiled at him comfortingly.
"It's okay, I'm here." Shi Ye came over and whispered in his ear.
Xiao Yue's eyes were as dark as ink. She spoke softly, and her ears seemed to be gently brushed by a soft breath, and her heart felt a little itchy. She was always like this, able to perceive people's emotions at the first time and would never let him bear everything alone.
He curled his lips, with a gentle light in his eyes, and held Shi Ye's hand tightly, thinking to himself that he had always been there.
Old Jiang withdrew his gaze, sat on the sofa with Xiao Fengnian, glanced at Jiang Zishan, and then sighed.
"Xiao Shenmou, my grandson has had a very stubborn temper since he was young. He is different from other people."
"He was spoiled by us. He shouldn't have caused such a big disaster. He really did make a mistake this time. Xiao Shenmou, I will punish him however you say. I will never argue. However, no matter how useless he is, he is the only one in our Jiang family. I just hope that Xiao Shenmou will see that I am willing to sacrifice my old face and leave him a way out."
Mr. Jiang's voice was deep, and sounded a little tired and old.
"Mr. Jiang, the situation is really serious." Xiao Fengnian naturally couldn't respond to this and really wanted to save Jiang Zishan's life.
Old Jiang waved his hands and said, "I'm not kidding you. Zishan needs to be disciplined, otherwise he will be lawless in the future. If I'm gone, can his father control him? This time, we have to do what we have to do!"
After he said that, Xiao Fengnian didn't know how to respond.
Tong Muzhen's eyes flickered slightly. Just as she was about to speak, Xia Yun suddenly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and cried to Jiang Lao: "I asked Comrade Jiang Zishan to come here today. It has nothing to do with him. Jiang Lao, Uncle Xiao, if you want to punish me, punish me!"
Shi Ye looked at Xia Yun who died heroically with an expression of sacrificing for love, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
However, this move she made was a good one. In the entire Jiang family, only Old Jiang could distinguish right from wrong and was a good person. Unfortunately, he would not live for more than two years. After his death, the Jiang family would enter a period of decline. Marrying into the Jiang family did not mean just being a rich wife. People like Jiang Zishan would be nothing but a pile of mud if there was no one to support and help them from behind.
Mr. Jiang obviously had a unique vision and knew that his grandson had no ability and was a loser.
Xia Yun suddenly jumped out, surprising everyone in the Jiang family, and Jiang Zishan's expression also changed.
Jiang Feng's face had mixed expressions of green and red. He looked at Shi Ye, then at Xia Yun. He had no idea which one this fool of his liked. Was he determined to get involved with the Xiao family?
Old Jiang also paused, but he was used to seeing big storms. Looking at Xia Yun crying in front of him, he said in a gentle voice: "Girl, get up first. Let's talk about what's going on."
Xia Yun looked at Mr. Jiang's easy-going appearance, breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped away her tears silently.
Elder Jiang looked at Xiao Fengnian and asked, "I remember there was only one kid in the Xiao family. Who is this?"
Xiao Fengnian glanced at Xia Yun, suppressed the disappointment in his eyes, and said calmly: "My adjutant had an accident and left behind two daughters. I was worried that they would be tortured after being taken back to the countryside, so they stayed in the compound, in the Xiao family."
In just a few words, Jiang Lao understood the whole story. He nodded and looked at Xia Yun: "So you are also a soldier, not bad." After that, he looked at Jiang Zishan, his voice was not angry: "Come here, tell me."
Jiang Zishan may not take Jiang Feng seriously, but he still has special respect for this grandfather.
He stepped forward and was about to tell Xia Yun the words he would use to deal with Xiao Fengnian and Tong Muzhen tonight, but when he looked at Xia Yun, he couldn't bear to offend her. No matter what, Xia Yun was doing this for his own good and took all the responsibility on herself.
"Is it the same as what this girl said? She invited you here?" Old Jiang looked at Jiang Zishan with serious eyes.
When Xiao Fengnian heard this, he felt his face getting hot. Xia Yun felt that she was helping Jiang Zishan by saying this, but had she considered the Xiao family's reputation? Since he had kept Xia Yun, he treated her like his own daughter. It was really shameful for her to say this!
Tong Muzhen sat aside, glanced at Xiao Fengnian's expression, but didn't say anything.
Only by letting him see clearly, can he know how stupid he was in the past. Xia Yun never took the Xiao family to heart, so why should they rush to it? What's more, after what happened to Xia Rongrong, she seemed to be even more annoyed with Xia Yun.
Jiang Zishan looked at Xia Yun, who was looking pitiful with her head down and silent, and said, "We are old acquaintances."
Just this simple sentence, although it did not directly acknowledge Xia Yun's words, was already biased. Old Jiang could naturally see that his grandson kept looking at Xia Yun. He certainly knew that the truth of the matter was not like this. However, since the parties involved had already said this, it would be inappropriate for him to dig deeper.
"Now that the matter has been clarified, my Jiang family must give an explanation."
"Xiao Shenmou, I wonder if your female comrade is willing to marry my grandson?"
Mr. Jiang pondered for a moment and finally began to speak.
Hearing this, the scene fell silent for a moment. Xia Yun, with her eyes lowered, was secretly happy. Without Xiao Yue as a clue, she still managed to catch Jiang Zishan. As long as she urged him well, maybe Jiang Zishan could still be the same as in his previous life?
It doesn't make sense that if he marries Shi he will be able to rise to a higher level, but if he marries her he will just be a good-for-nothing, right?
What's more, doesn't she still have the Jiang family? As long as the Jiang family is willing to support her, even if Jiang Zishan is a piece of mud, he can be helped to climb the wall. Even if she can't compare with Xiao Yue, her life as an officer's wife is set in stone!
Xiao Fengnian frowned and glanced at Xia Yun, who lowered her head and could not see her expression. Since she did not speak, he naturally could not decide her lifelong affairs. Tong Muzhen then said, "Mr. Jiang, Xia Yun is not our biological child after all. We can only use this as a reference. The final decision is still made by her. Why don't you ask her in person?"
Tong Muzhen spoke in a faint voice and didn't want Xiao Fengnian to respond.
Even though Xia Yun was raised in their family, she cannot represent the Xiao family. Old Jiang's words clearly linked this marriage to the Xiao family. With Xia Yun's temper of getting into trouble every other day, she will inevitably get into trouble if she goes to the Jiang family in the future.
