Chapter 276 Appeasing My Wife
After putting her things away in the room, Jiang Yan showed her around the entire villa, especially the room where the Jiang family's old belongings were kept.
Jiang Yan took a photo frame and handed it to Jiang Ranxing.
“These are photos of our parents when they were young. Come to think of it, you look a lot like your mother. I didn’t even realize it when we first met,” Jiang Yan said.
Jiang Ranxing took the photo frame and looked at the two people standing side by side, supporting each other in the photo.
In the photo, Jiang's parents stand under the shade of green trees bathed in sunlight. Jiang's father is tall and upright, while Jiang's mother is gentle and beautiful. Both of them exude a scholarly air and are clearly well-educated intellectuals.
As Jiang Yan said, everyone in their family has a pair of beautiful eyes that seem to speak, and Jiang's mother's eyes are like that.
Through this photo, Jiang Ranxing felt as if he could touch his parents, and his heart was filled with an indescribable warmth.
Looking at the other photos, Jiang Ranxing asked, "Brother, what caused Mom and Dad to pass away?"
Jiang Yan remained silent for a moment before finally saying, "Well... it's fine if you don't know, because it was an accident."
"What accident?" Jiang Ranxing had a feeling that this matter was related to her. "Is it because of me, brother? Tell me, I have the right to know."
Jiang Yan didn't intend to tell her about that painful memory. He avoided the main point and said, "No, our parents had an accident because of a special mission. Of course, I can't tell you about this mission because I don't know it either. At the time, a few people came to our house to inform me of my parents' passing. I still don't know the specific reasons. The position our parents held at the time was a very private one. I haven't reached their level yet, and I have no right to access their information."
"So, brother, you're doing all this for our parents, to find out what happened back then."
"Yes, that also includes finding out who lost you. Given your parents' status, they shouldn't be unable to find someone unless someone is obstructing them."
Jiang Ranxing couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. Knowing about her own background was already a very rare occurrence, and now even the cause of her biological parents' deaths and the truth about how she got lost back then were still mysteries. And the person who knew about this and told her was Old Master Fu.
This inevitably led her to connect these events with Old Master Fu and the Fu family.
Just thinking about how many things there were that she didn't know made Jiang Ranxing feel a chill run down her spine.
She didn't want things to be too complicated, nor did she want any real conspiracy. These things made her feel mentally exhausted; she just wanted a simpler, purer life.
She smiled at Jiang Yan and said from the bottom of her heart, "Brother, no matter what happened in the past, I hope we can live a good life now. Please don't keep blaming yourself, okay?"
After looking at everything in the house, Jiang Ranxing discovered something: Jiang Yan's entire life seemed to revolve around the Jiang family and that mysterious job. Even his job might only be for his parents. There was almost nothing in the house that belonged to him, let alone any kind of life.
She also knew from his words that Jiang Yan was still single and had not yet considered finding a suitable person to start a new family with.
"I don't know if I'm being offensive by asking this, but when are you planning to find me a sister-in-law?"
When asked about this topic, Jiang Yan was somewhat taken aback.
"I haven't thought about personal matters yet," Jiang Yan said truthfully.
Jiang Ranxing said with a hint of reproach, "Look at you, it's time to start thinking about this at your age. If there's someone suitable, you can try dating them. I don't want my brother to grow old alone like this."
Jiang Yan chuckled twice and nodded: "Okay, I'll consider it if there's a suitable one."
The two chatted and laughed until they were back on the first floor.
Tao Shuo had just walked in through the main gate when he saw the two people and nodded to them.
"Inspector Jiang, Miss, Mr. Fu is still waiting outside. Should I ask him to go back?" Tao Shuo asked.
Jiang Yan said irritably, "Get him out of here. If he doesn't leave, have someone drag him out."
Tao Shuo nodded, glanced at Jiang Ranxing, and asked, "What does Miss think?"
Tao Shuo was well aware that the house had a new master.
Jiang Ranxing sighed, "Wait a moment."
She turned to Jiang Yan and said, "Brother, I know Fu Shenyuan very well. You can't get rid of him. Leave him to me."
After saying that, Jiang Ranxing turned and walked out of the villa. Looking up, she saw that Fu Shenyuan was still standing at the door, just as he had been when she entered. He didn't even go back to the car to avoid the wind.
When he saw Jiang Ranxing appear, his eyes were full of anticipation and joy.
Is it really necessary to be so happy to see her?
Jiang Ranxing walked over, but before she could speak, Fu Shenyuan spoke first.
He said, "Tan Shen called and said that Grandpa's condition has stabilized and you don't need to worry anymore."
Fu Shenyuan's words seemed to offer comfort.
Jiang Ranxing blinked, smiled, and said, "Who's worried? You should be saying that to yourself."
Fu Shenyuan smiled along with her: "I know you're worried. You may not say it, but when you see Grandpa lying in the hospital bed, you can't bear it. You're just too kind-hearted at heart and can't stand seeing things like life and death."
Jiang Ranxing didn't know whether to be happy or sad about being told something that touched her heart, especially by Fu Shenyuan.
She didn't know when it started, but Fu Shenyuan had begun to understand her heart, and he no longer seemed to be the kind of person who wouldn't care about anything.
Even the cold, indifferent glaciers will eventually be melted by the warm sun. Jiang Ranxing felt that this statement was absolutely true.
Jiang Ranxing didn't say anything more: "It's alright, you'll be going back to the old house to visit later, right?"
"Together?" Fu Shenyuan asked.
Jiang Ranxing shook his head: "No, my brother and I still have things to talk about. You should go first; he doesn't want to see you."
Fu Shenyuan seemed quite helpless about this.
"It's not good to be disliked by your brother-in-law so much."
Jiang Ranxing glanced at him strangely, seemingly finding his tone of voice odd.
On second thought, she understood.
"Before being disliked, you should think about why you are disliked, okay?"
Seeing the hint of emotion in Jiang Ranxing's expression, Fu Shenyuan felt a sweet warmth in his heart.
"Okay, my wife is right, I'll listen to her."
Jiang Ranxing looked at him helplessly: "When did you start talking like this? It's so strange."
Fu Shenyuan picked up his phone, shook it, and said, "I learned this while I was waiting for you."
The phone screen lit up, and Jiang Ranxing looked at the topic text on it.
[Question: I drive for a living. My wife and I had a fight, and she went to her parents' house. What should I do? My brother-in-law also doesn't like me. As a grown man without a wife by my side, I've realized how wonderful it is to have one. What should I do? Please advise!]
[Reply to the original poster: Of course you should go to her parents' house and coax her back! What's the use of asking us here? Be sweet-talking and take some real action, and your wife will definitely be willing to come back! As for your brother-in-law, in my humble opinion, you don't need to worry about him. Just don't offend him and show him respect. Brothers-in-law usually protect their own sisters! If you treat his sister well, he'll be more interested in you!]
Jiang Ranxing looked at him in disbelief.
"You actually watch this kind of stuff?" Jiang Ranxing asked in surprise.
Fu Shenyuan nodded: "Hmm, I think that makes a lot of sense. I should learn how to coax my wife."
