Hearing the voice, Jiang Rong's back stiffened. She pursed her lips and tried hard to suppress the tears that were about to fall.
This is her elderly father whom she hasn't seen for twenty years.
"Alas... Rong'er, alas..."
Countless thoughts, blames, and anger eventually turned into a long sigh.
"Father... I'm sorry. It was Rong'er who was willful back then. I'm sorry to my brothers and sisters. I'm sorry to my mother and uncles... I'm sorry..."
Jiang Rong knelt on the ground and sobbed softly.
Even though she had never been back for all these years, she knew that the Jiang family was not doing well.
"Your apology was too late. Your mother didn't even hear a single apology from you. She died with tears in her eyes."
Upon hearing that her mother had passed away, Jiang Rong stood up suddenly and looked at her old father standing behind her.
"dad……"
My father has lost his former robustness. His hair has turned gray and his back is slightly bent.
"Come with me."
Many times, grudges will fade away as the loved ones around us pass away one by one.
Especially when the other person is his dearest daughter.
Jiang Rong was not happy at all when she heard her father agreed to let her enter the Jiang residence.
Living room on the first floor of Jiang's house
Ling Dansi looked around, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't shocked.
She believed that she was not ignorant, having been famous for many years and having a wealthy family, but the villa in front of her really refreshed her three views.
The Jiang family is located at the highest point of Panlong Mountain, with guards guarding outside the gate.
Although it was deserted, one could understand that the Jiang family was not an ordinary family.
Ling Dansi knew that Jiang Rong was hiding something from her, but she didn't expect that the person she was hiding it from her was the Jiang family's background.
This background...seems a bit scary.
But looking at the antiques displayed on the first floor, their value cannot be measured by money.
How could a family with no background have so much, and it’s just the living room on the first floor.
There are three more floors above!
At this time, Jiang Guohai asked the nanny to get ice for Jiang Rong's knees.
I've been kneeling for so many days, I'm afraid my knees must be swollen.
Of course, don’t forget to bring the ointment.
"Dad, no need. I'm fine."
"Apply some medicine, there are not many people left in the Jiang family."
Hearing her father's words, Jiang Rong's hand holding the ointment trembled again and again.
She didn't dare to ask, she was afraid of hearing...
"Rong'er, you are not young anymore. Since you have chosen to come back, you should be aware of the changes in the Jiang family."
Having said that, Jiang Guohai glanced at Ling Dansi who was sitting on the sofa.
Jiang Rong hurriedly explained, "She is my sworn sister and is very kind to me."
Jiang Guohai is not an old-fashioned person. He is willing to become sworn brothers with his daughter when she is suffering. He is definitely not the kind of person who curries favor with the powerful.
Moreover, it is good to clarify some things early, which can also prevent some people from having wild thoughts.
"Your mother, eldest uncle, second uncle, eldest sister, and second sister are all dead.
Now, you only have two brothers left in your generation in the Jiang family. As for your second uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle, they are all in prison."
"Pah"...
With a crisp sound, the medicine bottle in Jiang Rong's hand fell to the ground.
"Is it them?"
Jiang Rong tightened her voice and looked at her father with sharp eyes.
“It doesn’t matter whether they are here or not, Rong’er. You took away what they need, so they will naturally not let us go.
However, so many years have passed, and it is not clear whether those things have been found. At least now, everyone is tired. You know, our Jiang family is not easy to mess with.
A fight to the bitter end is bad for everyone."
