Upon hearing Old Master Ji's introduction, Madam Si was completely stunned.
The girl in front of me is the granddaughter that Grandpa Ji recently went through great lengths to find, the one he planned to let inherit his billions in assets in the future.
But just now, what did Grandpa Ji say this girl's name was? Jiang Nian?
What a coincidence that this young lady from the Ji family shares the same name as that girl from the Jiang family who grew up in the countryside?
Mrs. Si comforted herself, thinking that it must just be a coincidence.
Jiang Nian suddenly looked up and greeted her, her tone calm and composed.
"Hello, Mrs. Si, this is Jiang Nian. We spoke on the phone before."
"……What did you say?!"
Mrs. Si suddenly widened her eyes.
He cried out and almost bit his own tongue.
Is this Jiang Nian in front of me the same Jiang Nian who severed ties with the Jiang family and almost married into the Si family as part of a marriage alliance?!
So, that girl she caught kissing Bo Ye on the cabinet in the entryway that night?!
But isn't she the Jiang family's daughter?
How did she become Grandpa Ji's granddaughter?
Just as shocked as Madam Si was Song Sichen.
He was initially uncertain when he saw the girl's familiar figure.
It wasn't until he heard Grandpa Ji's introduction that he was certain it really was Jiang Nian.
It turns out she was actually the daughter of the Ji family...
No wonder the young woman presented the old man with pills worth millions at his birthday banquet that day, without mentioning their value at all.
Moreover, despite the girl's illustrious family background, she did not flaunt her status when mocked by her stepmother and stepsister that night.
Thinking of this, Song Sichen couldn't help but let his eyes flicker slightly.
The moment their eyes met, Jiang Nian nodded slightly as a greeting, but it made his heart skip a beat.
Take a deep breath.
Madam Si had just recovered from her shock when she heard Old Master Ji ask her a question.
"Madam Si, please continue. How did that country bumpkin, who is good-for-nothing and of low character, harass your Bo Ye?"
At this moment, Madam Si felt as if she had a thorn in her side.
My face was burning, and my eyes were filled with guilt.
Originally, she looked down on Jiang Nian and deliberately belittled her in front of everyone.
But who would have thought that the person she had been belittling in front of Old Master Ji for so long was actually Old Master Ji's beloved granddaughter?
Fortunately, she didn't mention Jiang Nian's name. Otherwise, she would have completely offended Old Master Ji!
Jiang Nian's true identity is definitely unknown even to the Jiang family. Otherwise, why would Jiang Nian's greedy father sell her for only five million and rush to pamper this cash cow?
"No, no," Mrs. Si said awkwardly, forcing a smile. "I was just saying, Mr. Ji, please don't take it to heart."
Then, changing the subject, "But, Mr. Ji, is your granddaughter the daughter of the Jiang family?"
"What a coincidence! If that's the case, our Si family almost became related to the Ji family through marriage..."
How dare you say that!
Before he could finish speaking, another authoritative voice came from behind him.
Madam Si shuddered and turned to see Old Master Si walking out of the hall, his face showing displeasure.
"Look at the ridiculous things you've done! Bo Ye is just missing, but you even arranged a ghost marriage for him, and it's become common knowledge in Jiangcheng. You've made me lose all face."
"If such a well-behaved girl like Niannian were to marry into the Si family and suffer such injustice, how could I ever face Old Ji again!"
Upon seeing Grandpa Si arrive, Jiang Nian greeted him, "Grandpa Si."
Grandpa Si immediately beamed with joy.
With a loving expression, he held Jiang Nian's hand: "Oh, my dear girl, it's been so many days since I last saw you. Grandpa has been thinking about you. Have you missed Grandpa?"
This was the first time Mrs. Si had seen the usually stern and unsmiling Old Master Si so affectionate towards a younger person. She was utterly astonished: "Dad, you've met this girl before...this child?"
"Of course, I met Niannian as soon as Lao Ji brought her home. Niannian even gave me a jar of pills. Those pills are really a miracle drug. My body feels more than ten years younger."
Madam Si then remembered what her son had said that night—"What is Jiang Nian's background? Didn't Grandpa mention it to you?"
She didn't understand what it meant at first, but now she does.
So, in the Si family, she's the only one who doesn't know Jiang Nian's true identity!
She watched as Jiang Nian stole her thunder and became the focus of everyone's attention the moment Jiang Nian walked in, despite her having gone to great lengths to dress up for the occasion.
Even Old Master Si had not only met her, but also seemed to like her so much, which made Ji Yuwei lose face.
She forced a smile and said, "Grandpa Si, I am your granddaughter Yuwei."
"I never expected that my sister, who has been staying in the countryside all this time, would meet you before me. She is so lucky."
Grandpa Si didn't detect the sourness in Ji Yuwei's words and readily said, "Yes, it's just fate that brought us together."
Ji Yuwei was so angry she felt like she was going to vomit blood.
She secretly dug her fingernails until her palms were red, but then looked at Jiang Nian with a fake smile: "But why is my sister wearing a mask at the banquet?"
“Although my sister used to live in the countryside and may not have attended such occasions before, isn’t it too impolite for her to wear a mask to the banquet?”
As soon as Ji Yuwei spoke, everyone turned to look at Jiang Nian's face.
I hadn't noticed it at first, but now that I look at it, it's true.
Who wears a mask to a banquet?
This shows a complete lack of basic manners.
