188: The wise old lady, retreat to advance
Old Madam Jiang cursed at Jiang Zhiyan: "What nonsense are you talking about! Since Miss Tangtang is pregnant with your child, can our Jiang family keep dragging it out without giving her an explanation? Your parents are gone, and there is no one to take care of these things for you. Since I, an old woman, have come to Nancheng, it is natural for me to take care of it for you!"
Jiang Zhiyan was shocked and confused.
What does the old lady mean? Is she trying to force Tangtang to have an abortion?
If the old lady dared to say this, she would be driven away by Tangtang without mercy.
Xu Yao is gentle but strong, while Tangtang pretends to be gentle but is actually strong from head to toe. How could they give face to the old lady!
Xu Yao also couldn't understand what Old Lady Jiang wanted to do.
"How are you going to handle this matter for Mr. Jiang?"
Xu Yao asked directly.
Mrs. Jiang was frank, "Of course we're discussing marriage. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I used to believe that marriages for the younger generation must be well-matched. After all, similar upbringings foster compatible personalities. So when the news of Zhiyan and Miss Tangtang first broke, I was very disappointed with his choice. I'm a rather old-fashioned person, and I couldn't accept a girl who's always in the spotlight and even posted swimsuit photos online as my granddaughter-in-law."
When Mrs. Jiang said this, not only Xu Yao and Gu Jun were surprised, but Jiang Zhiyan, the person involved, was stunned.
Just last month, the old lady wanted to arrange a blind date for Jiang Zhiyan in Hong Kong. Why did she suddenly change her mind so soon?
Although he was stunned, Jiang Zhiyan still subconsciously defended Tangtang: "Grandma, taking swimsuit photos is just her job!"
Old Madam Jiang glared at him and signaled Jiang Zhiyan not to interrupt: "I've already said that was my old thought. I'm already this old. It will take time for me to accept a granddaughter-in-law who is an internet celebrity, right?"
Xu Yao was curious, "What made you change your mind? You haven't even met Tangtang in person."
Mrs. Jiang said seriously, "Because he had a conflict with his cousin Mingjia this time, and he said that the Jiang family interfered too much in his affairs, I reflected for the first time that he is no longer the young man who needs his family's help. He can manage a large company, so he naturally knows what kind of wife he needs. The wife we choose for him may be a good match but not what he likes. Forcing him to get married will only make them a couple of resentful couples. In this case, why don't I, an old woman, help him and Tangtang get together? However, this brat has had too many love affairs in the past, so it's normal for Miss Tangtang to not believe in his sincerity in getting married. At this time, the elders of the family need to come out and guarantee him. You can have casual relationships before marriage, but after marriage, you must be loyal to your wife and responsible for your family. Don't you agree?"
Xu Yao couldn't say anything.
Xu Yao was surprised by Mrs. Jiang's understanding.
Xu Yao was just thinking that if Old Lady Jiang wanted to force Tangtang to have an abortion, or wanted to use her power to talk to Tangtang about the ownership of the child after it was born, then she would definitely stand on Tangtang's side to resist the oppression of the wealthy family.
Xu Yao was stunned when she found out that Old Lady Jiang wanted to help Jiang Zhiyan and Tangtang get married.
Gu Jun knew what Xu Yao was struggling with just by looking at her expression.
Gu Jun rejected Mrs. Jiang on Xu Yao's behalf: "It's not difficult for you to get Tangtang's contact information. It doesn't seem appropriate for Xu Yao to help you arrange a meeting with Tangtang."
…
On the way home, Xu Yao finally came to her senses.
"Mrs. Jiang is so smart!"
Gu Jun nodded. "Old Madam Jiang was a strong woman who started the business with Old Master Jiang. Even after Old Master Jiang passed away, Old Madam Jiang still maintained the unity of the Jiang family. She is indeed a formidable figure."
That's really amazing.
Xu Yao sighed.
Jiang Zhiyan drove Jiang Mingjia out of Nancheng to express his dissatisfaction with the Jiang family. The wealthy young master, who was becoming more and more powerful, wanted to get rid of the interference of his family more and more and wanted to be independent in both career and spirit.
Jiang Mingjia left and Old Lady Jiang came.
If Mrs. Jiang had come to put pressure on Jiang Zhiyan or to blame him, Jiang Zhiyan's rebelliousness would have been even more serious. Mrs. Jiang was smart because everyone thought she was there to support Jiang Mingjia, but she didn't even mention Jiang Mingjia's grievances. She was there to show her concern for Jiang Zhiyan!
Jiang Zhiyan wants to marry an internet celebrity?
The Jiang family would never agree before. Jiang Mingjia’s attitude towards Li Lanyi, Tangtang and others basically reflects the Jiang family’s attitude.
Now, Old Lady Jiang said she would help Jiang Zhiyan arrange his marriage with Tangtang.
This was Mrs. Jiang's compromise and concession, and it showed her concern for Jiang Zhiyan. It was difficult for Jiang Zhiyan to refuse a grandmother caring about her grandson.
Mrs. Jiang has done this, does Jiang Zhiyan still have the nerve to continue to be tough on the Jiang family?
Xu Yao took out the pair of emerald earrings given by Mrs. Jiang. "After Mrs. Jiang interrupted me, I accepted this gift without thinking. How did Mrs. Jiang know that the earrings and my ring would match? Gu Jun, you should stay away from the Jiang family in the future. The more kind Mrs. Jiang is, the more afraid I am... And Tangtang, I don't know how to tell her. Mrs. Jiang is so powerful, Tangtang is no match for her at all."
The Jiang family will have a lot of trouble in the future for the fat piece of meat called Huahu.
Tangtang had never experienced such a situation before. Ten Tangtangs put together would not be as cunning as Old Madam Jiang!
Now, Mrs. Jiang said she accepted Tangtang just to show her warmth to Jiang Zhiyan. But after a while, Mrs. Jiang might change her strategy and turn against him again.
Xu Yao was struggling to make a decision, so Gu Jun helped her clear the fog: "Of course, tell the truth. You can tell Tangtang about the Jiang family's situation and the reason why Mrs. Jiang changed her attitude. This way, she will be mentally prepared when facing Mrs. Jiang. Tangtang is also an adult. You can help her but you can't make decisions for her. You have done what you should do, and let her make her own choice."
The elders all nodded in approval of Tangtang, and Tangtang might change her mind and get back together with Jiang Zhiyan.
At this time Xu Yao jumped out to stop her. Even if Tangtang listened to Xu Yao, what would she do if she regretted it in the future?
Gu Jun disagreed with Xu Yao interfering with Tangtang's decision. Seeing that Xu Yao didn't like the emerald earrings given by Mrs. Jiang, Gu Jun took the box containing the earrings from Xu Yao and said, "If you don't like them, you don't have to keep them. I'll find a chance to return the earrings to Mrs. Jiang."
Xu Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "Can it be returned? Will it affect your relationship with the Jiang family?"
Gu Jun twitched his lips. "What is my relationship with the Jiang family? The decision lies with President Jiang, not these earrings. I know why you don't like this gift. All excessive coincidences are artificial. Looking at these earrings makes you feel like you're being watched from afar by the Jiang family, right?"
Xu Yao nodded heavily.
Isn’t that exactly the feeling? Gu Jun’s description is so accurate!
Before giving the gift, Mrs. Jiang must have done some targeted research and knew that Xu Yao had an emerald ring.
If Mrs. Jiang wanted, she could know more about Xu Yao.
Is this the financial power of the wealthy?
Xu Yao felt creepy just thinking about it!
