Each step seemed to step on his heart, making it beat irregularly.
Only then did Lan Shuang realize that Jiang Han was wearing a matching suit, the deep black with a faint silvery glow, and the brooch on his chest was a pearl surrounded by diamonds.
Lan Shuang's gaze lingered on it for a while before she walked over to Jiang Han and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Han came back to his senses and stretched out his arm: "You are my female companion tonight, hold my arm."
Lan Shuang smiled: "Okay, I will act well."
She put her arm around him and linked it with his.
Jiang Han looked at her deeply, and Lan Shuang tilted her head: "Hmm?"
Jiang Han came back to his senses and said calmly, "Let's go."
The two of them rode in the same car again, but the atmosphere was obviously different from before. They were sitting together in the back seat, and the distance between them was the same as before, but it seemed like there was an invisible wall between them, making it difficult for them to understand each other.
No one spoke, it was as quiet as if there was no one in the back seat.
An hour later, after arriving at the Jiang family's old house, Jiang Han said, "Hold on to your bag and be careful."
"knew."
Lan Shuang knew that she would not leave so easily this time, so she had made all the necessary preparations.
After getting off the car, the bodyguards quickly surrounded them, protecting them from all sides. Qi Yuan and Wen Yan followed behind them, and Qi Yuan was holding a safe in his hand.
The Jiang family mansion was not as big as Jiang Han's manor, but it was more luxurious and looked very historical. As soon as they got out of the car, a man in a tuxedo came up to greet them, "Master, everyone is here, we've been waiting for you, please--"
He automatically ignored Lan Shuang beside Jiang Han.
Lan Shuang didn't care. She looked at the magnificent hall in front of her and narrowed her eyes.
Jiang Han didn't say anything and walked straight into the hall, which was now full of people. There were too many people in the Jiang family and the several large sofas couldn't accommodate them all. Old Master Jiang took up an entire sofa by himself, but no one dared to say anything. They all squeezed into the remaining sofas, but there was obviously no place for Jiang Han.
At the door, they could hear the noisy voices in the hall, but as soon as they approached, they all shut their mouths at the same time, looking at Jiang Han with all kinds of eyes, and then shifting their gazes to Lan Shuang.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
In the dead silence, Mr. Jiang raised his eyelids and looked at Jiang Han, "Here he comes."
Jiang Han nodded: "Well, let's see how everyone has been doing while I'm away."
The words were full of sarcasm and immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of several elders.
"You say that as if we aren't worried about you." Second Uncle snorted coldly, "You said you were okay but didn't even tell your family that you were safe. It's a pity that we mobilized so many people to look for you."
"Whether I'm okay or not, doesn't it still depend on my second uncle?"
Jiang Han walked straight up to Uncle Jiang and stood in front of him, looking down at him.
Uncle Jiang felt offended and stood up. "What do you mean? Are you trying to say that I harmed you?"
Jiang Han smiled slightly and reached out to push him aside. The faces of the people who were originally sitting on the sofa changed, and they immediately stood up and dispersed. The bodyguard came forward and patted the sofa. Jiang Han turned around and sat down, crossed his legs, with a casual and cold expression.
Lan Shuang sat next to him, looking at the densely packed heads, feeling a little dizzy, as if she was watching a connect-the-dots game.
Mr. Jiang staggered when he was pushed and almost bumped into Jiang Han's parents on the other side. Song Xueting pushed him with disgust, and Mr. Jiang staggered again when he was not paying attention. He turned twice like a ball and rolled to the empty space in the middle of the sofa.
Someone couldn't help but laugh, and Master Jiang's face suddenly felt like it was on fire. He turned around, pointed at Jiang Han, and started cursing, "Jiang Han! Do you have any manners? I'm your uncle, and you dare push me?"
Then he glared at Song Xueting and Jiang Lu, "This is the good son you raised? What a thing!"
Song Xueting's expression was stern: "That was originally his seat. You insisted on sitting there, you deserve it."
"you--"
"Shut up! What are you arguing about? Aren't you ashamed?" Old Master Jiang slammed his cane on the ground and roared with full energy.
Lan Shuang glanced at him. The old man had a ruddy complexion and looked energetic. He still had work to do and seemed to still be in power in the Jiang family. But after just one shout, he became obedient.
Mr. Jiang's face turned pale, and he became even angrier when he looked around and saw that there was no place for him.
"Jiang Han, what exactly do you mean? You disappeared for half a month without a word, and the first thing you do when you come back is me? Did someone tell you something, or are you deliberately slandering me? I'm just temporarily managing a few subsidiaries of Jiang Corporation, right? Are you so angry now? I advise you not to be so cruel!"
"We are all relatives. Let's keep a promise today so we can meet again in the future! How can you guarantee that you won't need us for help in the future?"
These words touched the hearts of the others, and they all echoed them.
"That's right, Xiaohan. You've been gone for half a month, and all of Jiang's businesses are leaderless. What's going to happen? Who's going to manage them? Don't we have to find a way to get through this? It's fine if you don't thank us, but you're putting on such a big show right away. What do you want to do?"
"You're such an ungrateful person! The Jiang family isn't yours, yet you're still dividing the family so clearly. You used to cover up everything, but now your flaws are exposed, aren't they?"
"That's right. I think we shouldn't change it. Let's just stick with the current allocation. This will prevent any more trouble from happening and causing chaos for the Jiang family."
The more you talk, the more reasonable your words become, and you almost want to poke Jiang Han in the face with your hand.
Song Xueting's expression suddenly changed, and he looked over fiercely: "What are you talking about? What do you mean by another accident? I'm telling you, even if something happens to Jiang Han, it's not your turn to make the decisions in the Jiang family! You want to replace Jiang Han, but don't you think you're worthy enough?"
"Oh, if we're not worthy, then you are? Don't think you're right just because you're Jiang Han's mother. Who doesn't know the twists and turns in your heart?"
Seeing the noise getting more intense, the old man yelled again: "It's not over yet, is it? Whoever makes trouble again, get out!"
Lan Shuang chuckled softly, and her cold voice instantly spread throughout the entire hall: "You said all this in front of Jiang Han, you really don't take him seriously? He's still alive, and you're already thinking about dividing his power. You really are a loving family."
The hall instantly became quiet and everyone looked at her.
"Who do you think you are? When is it your turn to interfere in the affairs of our Jiang family?" Song Xueting looked at her with eyes as sharp as knives.
Lan Shuang wasn't afraid at all. She looked at Jiang Han and said, "Isn't it obvious who I am?"
Jiang Han put his arm around her waist and said naturally, "Lan Shuang is my girlfriend, not an outsider."
"I brought her here today to meet her and get her to know me. I want you to stop trying to force some monsters on me. And, by the way, I want you to deal with the attack on me."
