Chapter 20 Apologize to Master Jiang
The lights were just coming on.
It was dinner time in the Jiang family villa, but the atmosphere in the Jiang family was solemn.
Old Master Jiang sat in the middle of the living room, and the second and third wives sat on the other two sides, and the young people on both sides were silent.
Jiang Yucheng sat opposite the old master, his face as cold as ice, and
he seemed more and more oppressive. It was not until Jiang Huai told him everything about the room that he knew how Jiang Su, Jiang Han and others had criticized Xu Xu one by one before he came back.
Jiang Ying even said directly that Xu Xu should get out of her house.
And he, without knowing the cause and effect, first blamed her for going to the Song family without permission, and then... like everyone else, he asked her to give the room to his sister.
No wonder, no wonder Xuxu was so disappointed that he said he wanted to move out.
As a father, he failed in his duty.
"Brother, Yingying was just a kid and made trouble today. It's all my fault. As for Xuxu, I will explain to her and try to make her forgive me..."
Yao Lin saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he took the initiative to speak up and take responsibility.
Jiang Yumin, who was standing by, frowned when he heard this, and took Yao Lin's hand, looking disapproving, "It's not your responsibility at all. Yingying is young, and she just said what she wanted. It's not a big deal. I think Xuxu is making a fuss out of nothing. She just came back for two days, and she left home for such a small matter..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Yucheng raised his eyes coldly and interrupted him in a deep voice, "Second brother, my daughter just came back and was forced to leave home, is this a small matter?"
Jiang Yumin's facial muscles twitched, and he met his eldest brother's stern gaze and finally did not speak again.
Jiang Yucheng scanned the people one by one, his gaze full of oppression,
"Jiang Ying is young, and she wanted Xuxu's room just because it's beautiful. It's not a big deal. The Jiang family is not a small family. If she likes it, it's just a matter of words for you to redecorate the room according to the princess's specifications. Why do you have to let Xuxu give up her room?"
The people from the second house didn't say anything, and Jiang Yucheng's voice became a little deeper.
"You don't want her to give up her room. You just think that since she's new here, she should try to please you and behave herself to beg you to accept her!"
"Brother, what you said is too harsh! They're just children. How could they have those thoughts you said?"
"No? If you didn't treat her as an outsider from the beginning, why would you say something like "get out of my house"? Even if it's just a child's angry words, he should know what to say and what not to say."
Jiang Yucheng's tone was a little heavy. Jiang Ying trembled and shrank into Yao Lin's arms in fear. Her mouth clenched, but she didn't dare to cry loudly like before.
Yao Lin's face was full of distress when she saw this, and she said, "Yingying said something wrong, I will go and apologize to Xuxu, I will ask her for forgiveness, and beg her to come back. As an elder, I will go and beg her in person, she will not really not come back, big brother, don't blame Yingying..."
Jiang Han, who was standing aside, saw his mother being so humble and begging in front of his uncle, and a trace of irritation flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but speak out,
"Uncle, she wanted to leave on her own initiative. No one forced her, and it's not my mother's fault. Why should we beg her to come back? Maybe she knew that she had done something wrong and upset the Song family, and she was afraid that grandpa would be angry, so she made an excuse to run away from home?!"
Jiang Yucheng turned his head to look at him and said in a deep voice, "I will teach Xuxu if she does something wrong, and she doesn't need to explain to anyone. But Jiang Han, if you still have this attitude towards Xuxu, you don't have to call me uncle anymore."
His voice was not loud, but it made Jiang Han and the others' hearts skip a beat and they subconsciously widened their eyes.
Jiang Yucheng's eyes slowly swept through the hall, including Jiang Su and Jiang Cheng, and said,
"The same goes for you. If you don't want to accept Xuxu, you don't have to call me uncle in the future."
Jiang Yucheng's voice was not loud, but it was more severe than ever before. The children almost subconsciously straightened their backs and said
they didn't dare. Jiang Yutong, who always respected his elder brother, patted his son hard at this time, and then smiled to smooth things over, "Brother, the children are mean, but they don't have any bad intentions, let alone accept or not. Xuxu is our child, so it's not necessary."
Jiang Yucheng's eyes darkened, and there was an unnoticeable repression in his voice. He only said,
"Xu Xu has been missing for eighteen years. Even though the Guan family has never lacked food and drink for her, she, as an adopted daughter, has suffered a lot of grievances in the Guan family. Now that she has finally come back, I don't want her to suffer any more grievances. I won't ask each of you to accommodate her, but at least treat her as an ordinary family member."
He paused, his voice getting deeper, "If you can't do that, then I will choose to live alone with Xu Xu and Jiang Huai."
As soon as Jiang Yucheng said this, it was like a huge rock falling into the water, and everyone in the second and third rooms changed their faces in an instant.
They never thought that the eldest brother would play so big this time!
Just for Guan Xuxu, he wanted to split the family!
At this time, Mr. Jiang, who had been silent from the beginning, finally spoke, without any dignity, but with a tone that did not allow for questioning.
"Boss, I don't want to hear this again."
He said, "The Jiang family is a whole. As long as I'm here, no one is allowed to say anything like moving out!"
Everyone in the hall was silent, and no one dared to refute the old man's words.
Even Jiang Su only dared to secretly mutter in his heart that Guan Xuxu had mentioned moving out.
The old man turned his eyes and looked at the couple in the second room.
"Children of the Jiang family can have whatever they want, but while pampering them, they must also understand that they can't get whatever they want in this world."
"The child must be taught. If you can't teach her well, I can teach her myself."
Hearing that the grandfather was actually going to teach her himself, Jiang Ying's body trembled even more, and she almost couldn't help crying.
This, this is too terrible, she doesn't want it.
Jiang Yumin and Yao Lin lowered their heads silently, hugged their children tightly, and said they would teach them well.
Seeing that the young people all deeply realized the seriousness of the problem, Mr. Jiang stopped talking and turned to Jiang Huai, who was sitting beside him with a lazy attitude and said,
"Find a time to pick up your sister. The family has arranged a party and is preparing to officially announce her identity as the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. She still has to come back."
Jiang Huai still smiled and nodded, "I know."
Before Mr. Jiang could say anything, the housekeeper suddenly came in from outside and said to Jiang Yucheng, "Boss Jiang, Mr. Song and his wife are here."
Jiang Yucheng frowned slightly. The Song family came to visit at this time.
Was it because of Xuxu again?
Although Xuxu shouldn't have come to the house and said those words, it was a bit too much to come to the house to blame.
Jiang Su and others on the side had just been scolded, and they didn't dare to speak casually at this moment, but they still exchanged glances with the
people around them, and there was a hidden sense of schadenfreude in each other's eyes. Guan Xuxu was in trouble and was found to be held accountable.
They said she left on purpose to avoid responsibility.
It was not their fault at all.
Just as he was thinking this, the couple from the Song family walked in quickly from the gate, with a hint of anxiety on their faces.
Jiang Yucheng thought that Xuxu had come first and caused misunderstanding, so he had to soften his expression and stand up to greet them.
"Mr. Song, Mrs. Song, Xuxu was naughty today and caused you trouble. I have already taught her a lesson..."
I thought that after expressing my attitude first, Song Yongming and his wife would not hold on to it anymore. However, the moment they heard his words, their faces changed, and then they were panicked and ashamed.
"Mr. Jiang, please don't say that. It was my husband and I who didn't understand the situation and misunderstood Miss Jiang. Miss Jiang was kindly reminding us. It was us who didn't know what was right and wrong. We know we were wrong. Please give us a chance to apologize to Master Jiang in person!!!"
The moment the Song couple finished speaking, the living room seemed to fall into a strange silence.
Jiang Su and the others widened their eyes in disbelief, as if they suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.
Why didn't the Song family couple come here to cause trouble for Guan Xuxu?
And...
what the hell is Master Jiang? ? !
