Chapter 90: Family Arrangements
That thing!
Jiang Chejin even breathed more lightly.
That incident back then was a taboo for the entire Ji family. It was a knife hanging over my uncle's head, and it was the fuse that almost caused the Ji family to fall apart.
The courtyard was dead silent, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.
After a few seconds, the old man seemed to have exhausted his energy to be angry, and only commands remained in his voice.
"You go be a lobbyist."
"Tell him to go meet the girl from the Lin family no matter what!"
Let my uncle go on a blind date?
This is simply walking into a gun.
Jiang Chejin could almost imagine the mocking expression on Ji Bingqian's icy face.
But he didn't dare disobey the old man.
I had to agree first: "I'll try my best."
Jiang Chejin lowered his eyes and hid all his emotions under a submissive appearance.
Seeing how obedient he was, the old man's tense expression finally relaxed a little, and the suffocating power also subsided a little.
He started walking again, but the topic suddenly changed without warning, as if he was casually talking about family matters.
"By the way, I heard that Yingluo is back?"
"You've waited for her for so many years, and now the clouds have finally cleared and the moon has appeared."
The old man's voice drifted over in the night, and continued, "When are you going to bring the person home to show me?"
The old man's words were like a gust of evening breeze, light and floating, but they made Jiang Chejin feel inexplicably stuck in his heart.
If it were in the past, he would have agreed immediately.
What he wanted most in the past few years was to gain his grandfather's approval and bring Xu Yingluo into the Ji family with honor.
But now, his throat felt like it was clogged with cotton and he couldn't utter a single word.
What popped up in my mind was not Xu Yingluo's pretty and delicate face.
But it was Xu Yueqing.
It was her half that was swollen, and there was a wound at the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were bright as if she was stubborn and had been quenched by fire.
Damn it.
Why do I think of her at this moment?
Jiang Chejin frowned and subconsciously tightened his grip on the old man's arm.
"Grandfather, didn't you always oppose my relationship with Luo Luo?"
He spoke carefully.
The old man snorted, and his cloudy eyes showed a hint of understanding that you are too naive.
"I used to think you were young and confused, and I was afraid you'd be deceived by those women out there whose backgrounds you didn't know."
The old man glanced at him sideways, tapping the flagstones with his cane. "What kind of status does our Ji family hold? The women trying to get close to us are as numerous as the fish in the river. How can I let you just find some cheap stuff and bring it back?"
Jiang Chejin's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to refute.
"But." Then the old man changed the subject, "Last time you told me that girl is very successful now. She won an international gold medal abroad and will be able to join the Beijing Municipal Research Institute as a researcher upon her return."
"Since he has this ability, he is also a smart person. As for his identity and background, I will find an opportunity to package him up and take him out. He will not bring shame to our Ji family."
After saying that, the old man seemed to suddenly remember something, stopped and looked sideways at him.
"By the way, isn't Professor Chen selecting people today? Which team did that little girl join?"
Jiang Chejin's head buzzed as if it was hit hard by a sledgehammer.
The scene at the research institute during the day rushed into his mind again.
At that moment, she was so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
So excellent that it felt unfamiliar to him.
Why did he think of Xu Yueqing again?
