Chapter 84 The Jiang Family's Protection of Their Faults
Jiang Yao finally knew the reason, but he found it even more ridiculous.
"Just because I'm the granddaughter of the Jiang family, my grandparents are my closest relatives. You're an outsider, what qualifications do you have to say that everything belongs to you? You haven't really stayed in the Jiang family for long enough to consider yourself a member of the Jiang family!"
There was sarcasm in Jiang Yao's tone.
The truth is often the most touching.
It's not that she is vicious, but she doesn't want to give up her relatives who she finally found.
Yao Yuanxin couldn't stand this humiliation. She was about to step forward and attack in anger, but suddenly she noticed a figure not far away. She immediately slapped herself hard in the face.
Then tears quickly filled her eyes and she spoke pitifully.
"Sister, I thought I had put an end to what happened just now, but I didn't expect you to still blame me. If beating me up can make you vent your anger and feel better, then go ahead!"
Jiang Yao was shocked at how quickly her expression changed.
However, she had seen this kind of method before.
Just as he was about to speak, the next second, Mrs. Jiang's voice came from behind him.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Yao turned around suddenly and saw Old Lady Jiang coming out from behind the pillar.
"Grandma, don't blame my sister. I made her unhappy, so she hit me..."
As she spoke, Yao Yuanxin deliberately showed her half of her slightly swollen face.
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at him and frowned deeply.
"Sister, I know I shouldn't have come today, and I shouldn't have appeared to offend you. I admit that you hit me, and all the mistakes are my fault."
As Yao Yuanxin spoke, two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks. She looked so pitiful and sympathetic.
"Okay!" Old Mrs. Jiang's face became more and more ugly.
Jiang Yao's heart trembled and he unconsciously clenched his fists.
She thought of the time when she was at the Xu family. No matter what happened, they always stood on Xu Yueyao's side unconditionally.
This time...will Mrs. Jiang choose to believe her?
The slap marks on Yao Yuanxin's face are so obvious, and she grew up under their care, so she probably won't believe herself.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao's expression gradually became gloomy.
Yao Yuanxin, however, was pleased with herself, believing that Old Lady Jiang would make the decision for her.
After all, Jiang Yao just arrived, but I have been by their side for so many years.
The next second, Old Lady Jiang spoke again in a deep voice.
"Yuanxin, you really disappoint me!"
Yao Yuanxin and Jiang Yao were both stunned.
"Grandma, I..."
"Don't call me grandma."
Old Madam Jiang interrupted sharply, her eyes as sharp as a torch, "I saw it with my own eyes just now, it was you who did it, and you even wanted to slander my good granddaughter, what are your intentions!"
Yao Yuanxin was startled and her face turned pale in an instant.
Her previous action was clearly very covert to avoid Mrs. Jiang's sight, but she never expected that she would be seen by Mrs. Jiang with her own eyes.
"S-Sorry, Grandma, I'm not..."
She was really upset now. The image she had maintained for many years was shattered overnight.
At this moment, emotions of embarrassment, awkwardness, and shame all flooded my heart.
"Stop talking, go away! I don't want to see you."
Old Mrs. Jiang was extremely disappointed with her.
Yao Yuanxin was filled with panic and wanted to save the situation, but she was afraid that saying something wrong would make Old Lady Jiang even more disgusted.
In the end, she could only leave the place in a dejected and embarrassed manner.
After everyone left, Jiang Yao slowly reacted and turned to look at Old Mrs. Jiang.
"Grandma, you just walked from behind the pillar. From that angle, it's unlikely you could have seen Yao Yuanxin's movements..."
"Yes, I didn't see it."
Old Mrs. Jiang admitted it frankly and looked at Jiang Yao with kindness.
"But I believe Yaoyao, you won't be that kind of child."
Jiang Yao was moved. This was what it felt like to be trusted by family.
Seeing her eyes slightly reddened, Old Lady Jiang reached out and touched her head, then continued, "Besides, no matter what, you are my granddaughter! So what if I'm protective of you?"
Jiang Yao's nose felt even more sore, and he couldn't help but reach out and hug Old Mrs. Jiang, saying softly, "Thank you, Grandma."
"Good boy."
Old Mrs. Jiang patted her back gently, her eyes full of heartache.
As the two of them went downstairs, Mr. Jiang asked.
"Why did Yuanyuan suddenly leave just now? Her face looked so grim. Did something happen?"
Old Mrs. Jiang angrily recounted the incident.
"That child, after all, we watched him grow up. I didn't expect that he would be so jealous at such a young age."
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't disappointed or sad, but her actions did touch the Jiang family's bottom line.
Yaoyao is their treasure that they have finally found. They say that home is a safe haven, so how can they let others bully them like this?
Mr. Jiang's face darkened when he heard this.
"It seems that we have been too kind to the Yao family over the years, causing them to lose their sense of propriety and become more and more aggressive, even bullying our Yaoyao. We must take some measures."
Jiang Yao felt a tightness in his heart when he saw his grandfather's stern expression.
She didn't want to cause a dispute between the two families as soon as she came back.
"Grandpa, grandma, let's just forget about it this time! I've already warned Yao Yuanxin, and she knows how embarrassing what she did is. There's no need to involve her parents; they don't know anything about what happened today."
After all, she had never met Yao's parents and didn't know what kind of people they were.
But she knew that when her grandparents were sad, it was her aunt who accompanied and comforted the two old people.
So, for the sake of her family, she can choose to keep quiet.
When Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang heard this, they were very touched.
"Good boy, you are so soft-hearted and kind."
"Since Yaoyao has said so, then Grandpa will listen to you."
The Jiang family members also had a better impression of Jiang Yao.
As expected of the Jiang family's daughter, she is graceful and generous.
"Master, Madam, Miss, and Gentlemen, dinner is ready."
At this time, the housekeeper came to inform them.
"Okay, let's go."
Jiang Yao held Old Lady Jiang's arm and followed the group to the restaurant.
I originally thought I would see the kind of table found in wealthy families, at least ten meters long from head to foot.
I never thought it would be a round table made of marble.
The food on the table was not particularly luxurious, but it was all her favorite home-cooked meals.
The whole family sat at the table. Jiang Yao was placed between Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang. The whole family gathered together. The atmosphere was not like that of a wealthy family dining, but full of home warmth.
"Today is our Yaoyao's first meal since returning. Do you like it?" Old Mrs. Jiang looked kind and her tone was particularly gentle.
Jiang Yao nodded continuously, his heart filled with emotion.
After dinner, the family gathered in the living room to chat again.
Both old people wanted to hear about what Jiang Yao had experienced and what had happened over the years.
Jiang Yao also understood that they cared about her, so she began to tell her story patiently. She only touched on the heavy topics in a few words, but talked about a lot of happy and interesting things.
The Jiang family felt even more distressed after hearing this.
Thinking about how she had been betrayed by that scumbag, everyone felt so angry that their teeth itched.
How blind he must be to not cherish such a good girl.
And that ungrateful kid from the Li family!
Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang quickly exchanged looks.
"Yaoyao!"
After listening to her, Old Lady Jiang suddenly picked up a stack of photos and information of young talents from the side and handed it to her.
"You haven't met a good man to protect you in all these years. Look at these. They are carefully selected by your grandparents for you. If you value someone who is worthy of you, we will arrange it for you."
