Chapter 351: Mrs. Jiang’s Favorability Value Keeps Jumping
In the past, the issue of child brides might not be considered a big deal.
Some families even felt more assured when a girl they personally raised married her son.
But in modern times, especially for a family like the Jiang family, it is very shameful to tell others about child brides. It’s
not like the Jiang family’s grandsons are not wanted, but they still have to raise a daughter-in-law from a young age.
Not to mention that Lu Xuexi is her niece’s granddaughter, and strictly speaking, she is still a distant relative of the Jiang family.
Mrs. Jiang favors Lu Xuexi, and she really treats her as her own granddaughter in her heart.
Because of this, she can’t accept that the child who is regarded as her own granddaughter has such an inappropriate behavior with her own grandson.
Not to mention, this is with two grandsons at once!
If Jiang Huai had said before that Jiang Han liked Lu Xuexi, the old lady would never have believed it.
But after seeing Jiang Cheng and Lu Xuexi being intimate in private, even though there was no evidence for the accusation against Jiang Han, the old lady believed it without hesitation.
And as the accused, Jiang Han... he didn't know he was being accused.
The old lady couldn't possibly say such a shameful thing.
That's why Jiang Huai had to tell the old lady in private.
In private, he has the final say.
As for Jiang Han's innocence...
he had been rude to Xuxu so many times before, so what's wrong with him, as an older brother, slandering his younger brother's innocence?
Jiang Yucheng silently admired the effect of his son's ultimate move, and then he spoke slowly,
"Since mom doesn't object, then this matter is settled."
At the end, he did not forget to turn around and ask Grandpa Jiang, "Dad, what do you think?"
"Just do as you say, I'm old and can't take care of it."
Grandpa Jiang said as he stood up with a relaxed look, as if he was retired and couldn't take care of things, but... who would believe it.
Lu Xuexi realized that she couldn't stay when she saw the attitude of Grandma Jiang.
Countless thoughts surged in her heart, but she was forced to suppress them.
She put on an expression of nostalgia but happy acceptance without any entanglement, which made Jiang Yuxin and Jiang Yutong's couple feel a little better.
Jiang Han also had mixed feelings. Seeing Lu Xuexi pushing the old lady upstairs, he hurried forward and said,
"I'll go with you."
Perhaps it was because of her worried look when she was just shocked by the news of her parents' divorce, or perhaps it was because they were both separated tonight. Jiang Han wanted to talk to Lu Xuexi, just like before. Jiang Han
thought it was nothing special, but he didn't know that his action just touched the old lady's heart.
Mrs. Jiang's face almost changed, and she said to Jiang Han in a deep and urgent voice,
"I don't need you! Go back to your room!"
After that, she saw Jiang Han's stunned look, and thought that he would become a child of divorced parents after tonight, and felt a little annoyed. She could only make up for it,
"You must be tired tonight, you don't need to accompany me, go back to your room and rest, Xuexi will stay with me."
Although Jiang Han was confused by the old lady's attitude, he couldn't help but look a little disappointed when he thought of his parents. He nodded and didn't come over again.
But he didn't know that in the eyes of the old lady, his performance was that he was disappointed because he couldn't be alone with Lu Xuexi.
Old Mrs. Jiang was even more certain that Jiang Huai had not lied to her. Thinking carefully, Jiang Han had said before that he had done very well in the college entrance examination and could have gone to Beijing University, but he chose the Ocean University recommended by Xuexi. Wasn't he going there just for Xuexi?
Thinking of this, she felt even more annoyed that she hadn't discovered it earlier. After all, the eldest grandson was careful and decisive, and he was worthy of being the eldest grandson of their family.
At the same time, Old Mrs. Jiang made up her mind in her heart.
From today on, she must take good care of Xuexi and not let her have private contact with the two grandsons.
Even if she came to visit her at home in the future, she should not visit her too often, so as not to run into the two grandsons again.
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng has been sent to a company in another city. She felt sorry for her grandson and wanted to ask the eldest grandson to let him come back as a token of his respect. Now she has decided to let him stay in the company in another city for a while.
Mrs. Jiang firmly believes that the love between her two grandsons was due to the fact that they were together day and night. As the distance between them widens, their feelings will fade.
She can take care of the family, but the old lady doesn't know what to do with Jiang Cheng and Xuexi at university.
After thinking about it, she decided to let the eldest grandson figure it out.
He is smart.
In her heart, she couldn't help but feel that Xuexi was really out of line. Even if they grew up in the same family, they should have a sense of boundaries...
All the way when Lu Xuexi sent Mrs. Jiang back, the system's reports kept repeating in her mind.
[Mrs. Jiang's favorability value +1, current favorability value 92, please continue to be strong, host. 】
【Old Lady Jiang's favorability value -2, current favorability value 90, host please stabilize in time. 】
【Old Lady Jiang...】
Lu Xuexi felt that this old lady might be crazy.
What did Jiang Huai say to her? !
However, this old lady is useless if she can be swayed so easily.
Sure enough, I shouldn't put all my hopes on this old lady.
...
The next morning, just like Jiang Huai said yesterday, the Lu family came to pick them up early.
It was Lu Xuexi's parents who came. Lu's father's father was Old Lady Jiang's cousin. The Lu family's industry had begun to decline by Lu's father's generation. In addition, Lu's father himself had no business talent, and he had been losing money every year since he took over the family business. The Lu family
can barely be called a wealthy family, but the family background is actually very thin.
Therefore, Lu's father and mother did not want Xuexi to go back in their hearts.
If Xuexi hadn't caught the old lady's eye unexpectedly, the Lu family might have already fallen into decline.
But since Xuexi was sent to the Jiang family, the Lu family has been able to get some support from the Jiang family in business, and those who want to get close to the Jiang family, knowing that his daughter is raised in the Jiang family, will also take the initiative to cooperate with him.
It can be said that the current Lu family has become prosperous again thanks to Xuexi.
But Jiang Huai came to them in person, and they dared not not come to pick him up.
If they didn't, this young master Jiang could deal with them with a wave of his hand.
The cooperation that was agreed upon two days ago was suddenly stuck, just because Jiang Huai hinted.
Xuexi was also ignorant. If she stayed in the Jiang family, she should have established good relationships with these young masters of the Jiang family. How could she offend them?
She still asked to send the person back.
What's the use of just coaxing an old lady Jiang, who doesn't care about business matters.
Alas.
Lu Xuexi knew that the matter of returning to her family could not be changed, but she could not give up the Jiang family that she had run for many years. Before leaving, she said goodbye to everyone in the family one by one and presented the small gifts she prepared overnight.
She didn't take all the things from the Jiang family away. Except for some commonly used clothes, bags and accessories, she also kept some old ornaments or clothes.
She had to leave some things for the old lady to remember her.
Lu Xuexi had a good plan, but she didn't know that Jiang Huai had told the housekeeper to clean up her room as soon as she left.
He wanted to turn it into another room.
Well, it would be nice to use it as a playroom for Xuxu's little fox.
