Chapter 244 Sheng Family
Jiang Zhiyue figured out the reason why Gu Zhaoye said that the next day.
On the second day of the New Year, the younger generations stayed at Gu's house and did not leave. Gu Zhaoye went to the company with his father in the early morning.
Mrs. Gu and her sisters-in-law were chatting and laughing. They opened the information handed to them by the housekeeper. It contained photos of women. They were all popular wealthy and noble ladies. Their family businesses were spread all over the world, and they all came from prominent backgrounds.
Madam Jiang said, "Have you heard? The Sheng family has returned to China. Qiu Zhi, I see your old lady is quite interested in the Sheng family's children. Is she planning to match Zhao Ye with the Sheng family? This is a good thing. The Sheng family is not comparable to the small Xia family."
"I don't know what happened to your old lady at the beginning. She was so focused on connecting Zhaoye with the wealthy families of the small chaebol. I knew it would be difficult to succeed. Zhaoye is a child like you. He has good vision and naturally has high standards."
Madam Gu raised her lips and said cheerfully, "The old lady fell in love with the little girl that the Sheng family raised abroad. This time she returned to China with Sheng Huaian. She planned to meet her during the holidays. I don't know what happened recently. They rejected the old lady, which made her very angry."
Madam Jiang smiled at her and said, "Master Sheng is not in good health. Is he preparing for his funeral?"
Mrs. Gu shook her head. "I heard from you, sir, that when Mrs. Lin went to visit in the hospital, the Sheng family actually prevented them from entering. The relationship has already deteriorated openly. Once the head of the Sheng family passed away..." She paused at this point.
Madam Jiang added: "It's a good thing that Zhaoye married the girl from the Sheng family, especially for our Jiang family, it's a great thing."
Mrs. Gu picked up the fragrant hot tea on the table, turned the rim of the cup, and then remained silent.
Jiang Zhiyue was carrying two pots of flowers, which were the flower arrangements that Madam Gu had specifically asked Jiang Wanrou to complete. The housekeeper led her in and arranged them neatly in front of the designated window.
He stared at the girl for a few seconds.
Mrs. Jiang seemed to have discovered something, "Is this Zhaoye's tutor?"
Mrs. Gu smiled slightly, "Well, he is a smart and sensible child."
Madam Jiang frowned, "Old Madam Gu has complained to mother about this matter. Qiu Zhi, you better be careful and don't raise a tiger to cause trouble."
Mrs. Gu smiled but said nothing.
Madam Jiang added, "This child is an adult now. The hospital where my mother often stays has a son who is a caregiver. He is only two or three years older than her. He relied on his own ability to obtain a full scholarship and went abroad for further studies. I think they get along well with each other."
For people in this country, the idea of marrying someone of equal social status is deeply rooted in their bones.
There was a bright rose with thorns in the flower bed. Jiang Zhiyue's fingertip was accidentally pricked by it. A drop of bright red blood came out and fell into the red soil.
She had her back to the ladies and her expression was normal, but from the window mirror in front of her, she could clearly see the gazes of several ladies casting on her - scrutinizing, arrogant, and tentative.
Among the group of people, only Mrs. Gu's eyes looked the most kind and gentle.
"It depends on Zhiyue's opinion. However, this child is devoted to studying and I'm afraid he doesn't have much interest in love matters."
Mrs. Jiang secretly thought it was a pity.
......
Sheng family.
The old house on the top of the mountain, surrounded by mountains and rivers, is illuminated by brilliant glass lamps, as if surrounded by clouds in the sky, hidden deep in the mountains.
This New Year was not a very happy one.
Sheng Huaian flew back from abroad and rushed back to the capital without stopping. He was busy traveling back and forth between the old house and the hospital.
Lin Xian'er brought a gift and visited Mr. Sheng, calling him affectionately, "Grandpa."
Even Lin Jun was dressed in proper attire, standing in the ancestral temple. When he saw Old Man Sheng at the top of the table, he politely called out, "Grandpa."
Mr. Sheng smiled from ear to ear and ordered the butler to give everyone a big red envelope.
Mother Lin patted Lin Xian'er on the shoulder. Lin Xian'er smiled sweetly, trotted over, hugged Grandpa Sheng's arm, and said some auspicious words in a clever way, which made Grandpa Sheng laugh.
The Sheng family and the Xiao and Chu families competed with each other and governed the other three states, namely North Siri State, Dallas State, and O'Hare State, which has an important high-tech center and financial center.
With stable public security and prosperity, the Sheng family can rest easy.
Mr. Sheng has lived a life full of ambition and not many regrets. Now that he is old and surrounded by his children and grandchildren, is there anything happier than this?
This time he came back from Lingzhou, he was to supervise a new power transfer in the Sheng family, and he will live in the capital permanently from now on.
Having not seen his grandchildren for a long time, Grandpa Sheng smiled heartily and said cheerfully, "Xian'er, you little girl, you have kept Grandpa in the dark! If Grandpa had not come back this time, I would not have known that you and Junyue have even reached the stage of discussing marriage."
"Grandpa, where did you hear that gossip? That's just nonsense from the reporters." Lin Xian'er smiled shyly.
Grandpa Sheng looked around and said, "Why don't you see Jun Yue? As an old man, I have high hopes for him. I didn't agree with the boyfriends you had when you were abroad before, and you were angry with me. How could we, the older generation, be wrong? I have seen so many men, and only he can compare to your brother. But Huai'an, that kid, is not doing his job properly, and his father's teachings are in vain."
Speaking of this, Grandpa Sheng still has some resentment. Neither his son nor his grandson are close to him because he is caught in the middle of past events. It is also not easy for him to get close to his grandson. Grandpa Sheng is in a dilemma.
On the day of the reunion, Sheng Huaian was not there yet. Old Master Sheng was thinking of something, and his heart was filled with complicated emotions. He patted Lin Xianer on the shoulder and said, "Your brother Huaian is back. When you see him later, don't make him angry like you did when you were little."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian'er frowned slightly, and a hint of barely perceptible disgust flashed in her eyes.
Every failure makes you wiser. After being reminded by Lin Jun and her mother, she finally understood that going crazy would only push the people closest to her further and further away, including Chu Junyue and Sheng Huaian.
This brother, because she had mocked him when they were children, said that there was no place for him and Mr. Sheng in this family, because Mr. Sheng's new wife was her biological relative.
Sheng Huaian's biological grandmother, Mr. Sheng's original wife, died long ago.
It was because of this sentence that Sheng Huaian held a grudge against her for more than ten years. No matter how she tried to get close to him or apologize, the man ignored her.
After a while, the sound of an engine was heard outside.
On a snowy day, the man was dressed casually, wearing only a motorcycle jacket. The most eye-catching thing was a row of shining earrings. His motorcycle was very cool, and the gate of the old house was also filled with his various sports cars.
Sheng Huaian threw the helmet to the servant. His bright and unruly eyes made everyone's heart tighten almost the moment they appeared.
