Song Shengsheng smiled awkwardly: "I take back every word I said just now."
"It changes quite quickly."
"A man can bend and stretch."
“It’s quite impressive.”
The two talked for a while, and Jiang Yiyu heard footsteps. He stood up and walked around to the bamboo forest. After hearing him talking with Assistant Lin, Song Shengsheng also stood up and followed.
Assistant Lin asked, "Master, do you need to arrange a car for you and Miss Song?"
"No need." After getting Jiang Yiyu's answer, Assistant Lin bowed slightly to the two of them and left.
Song Shengsheng looked at the shopping bag in Jiang Yiyu's hand and sighed: "If you say no, he won't ask any more questions."
Jiang Yiyu held her hand and said, "Although I don't want to consider things from his perspective, he does have his own difficulties. Asking him is already a big deal. Let's go, dear. The scenery at night is also nice."
Song Shengsheng tutted and leaned towards him: "This is the only way."
The two of them slowly walked out of the Jiang family's courtyard.
As night fell, Song Shengsheng followed Jiang Yiyu as they walked under the streetlights. They were silent for a while. She looked at Jiang Yiyu, who had an expressionless face, then turned her head to gaze at the dense forest not far away. Then she leaned towards him and asked in a mysterious voice, "Do you think there are wolves in this forest?"
"No, I've walked this road many times."
"Oh, will there be foxes?"
"Won't."
"Oh, but you never know, right?"
Jiang Yiyu turned his head to look at her and smiled: "Are you tired from walking? I'll carry you."
"No, I'm not that squeamish. But you, your leg injury has just healed, and you're walking so much. I even suspect that Uncle Jiang knows that we've been staying at home for the past two days and haven't exercised much, so he did this to force us to make up for the amount of exercise."
"He's not that kind." Jiang Yiyu looked into the distance and stopped: "Let's sit here and rest for a while. The car will be here soon."
"Okay." Song Shengsheng scratched the low steps of the sidewalk with his feet, and without much hesitation, he pulled Jiang Yiyu to sit down together.
She took the shopping bag from his hand, took out two bottles of milk, and stuffed one bottle into Jiang Yiyu's hand: "Look, I want this bag back, it's still useful!"
She screwed the cap on the milk bottle and took a sip: "Actually, the air here at night is quite good."
"After all, it's in the mountains, there are fewer people and fewer cars." Jiang Yiyu unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip: "What did you say you wanted to show me?"
"Oh, I almost forgot." Song Shengsheng screwed the bottle cap back on, reached into his trouser pocket and took out the jadeite he had gotten back from Zhao Rong. He handed it to Jiang Yiyu like a treasure: "Is it your mother's?"
Jiang Yiyu frowned and glanced at her. He carefully picked up the jadeite and twisted it lightly with his fingertips: "Actually... I can't really recognize it. But how did you get this thing?"
"I asked Zhao Rong directly for it."
"If you want it, she will give it to you?"
"Well, come to think of it, she gave it quite readily. Anyway, that mother and son are not easy to deal with. I feel that the reason you and Uncle Jiang have been in such a mess now, apart from the inherent contradictions, most of the problems lie with them.
Think about it, you've done so many bad things since you left the Jiang family, and Uncle Jiang didn't seem to do much more than clean up the mess. He never said you were exiled, but the rumors of exile do exist. I suspect it was Zhao Rong who spread them."
"Today, she and Jiang Yicheng tried to act pitiful in front of me. One said that he wasn't interested in the Jiang family or what you have, and the other said pitifully that he didn't have many jewelry and had gained nothing in the Jiang family for more than ten years.
Jiang Yicheng even took me to your old room and told me that when he was six, it caught fire and was a complete mess. Anyway, these two people have been trying to portray you as a dangerous person to me. I think this must be their usual trick to ruin your reputation and that of the Jiang family.
"So what's their purpose?"
"I speculate that in Uncle Jiang's mind, you may have always been his designated heir, and Zhao Rong and Jiang Yicheng are well aware of this. Their identities are not recognized, and the Jiang family will not allow the family business to fall into their hands.
But nothing is absolute. Their chance of success might be to continue playing pitiful, trying to deepen the conflict between you and Uncle Jiang. The more the irreconcilable conflict between you and your son becomes, the worse your reputation becomes, and the more likely Jiang Yicheng will be noticed. As long as he's steady and excellent, don't you think he'll have a better chance of success in terms of public opinion? "
Jiang Yiyu fell silent.
Song Shengsheng stretched his legs and drank another sip of milk: "Jiang Yicheng also said something to me. He said that you always thought it was his mother who killed your mother, but that's not the case."
Jiang Yiyu smiled: "Zhao Rong can't get away with this."
Song Shengsheng clapped his hands. "See! Is that right? He wants to clear Zhao Rong and put the blame for your mother's death on Uncle Jiang. He told me all this because he knew I would tell you what happened today and further deepen the conflict between you and Uncle Jiang. But this little brat is too smart for his own good. He thinks you're too stupid."
"Well, dear, what do you think I should do?"
"Let me think about it. If you want the Jiang family, maybe you can shift your focus from Uncle Jiang to Zhao Rong."
Song Shengsheng looked down at her toes and tapped them lightly. "Think about it, someone as greedy as her couldn't possibly be without evidence. Who knows, if you investigate her further, you might find something unexpected. Then, with Uncle Jiang's help, you can get rid of her first. Then, the situation will be cleanly returned to you and your son, and the account will be settled easily, right?"
