It was already evening when Jiang Huai brought Jiang Xuxu home.
When I entered the door, I found that all the family members were there.
Jiang Xuxu didn't think that this was to welcome her back.
Apart from anything else, even my second uncle who is not often at home and Jiang Yuxin have come back, which obviously means something big has happened.
Or maybe an important person.
Jiang Huai seemed to have guessed something. He was about to pick up his phone to check the group message he had ignored before. However, before he could open it, he heard a familiar and somewhat old voice.
"Ahuai is back."
Jiang Huai and Jiang Xuxu looked up and saw Lu Xuexi pushing an old lady with sharp eyes and eyebrows towards them.
Jiang Cheng, who had been sent to Tong City, also came back. He was now following Lu Xuexi, with an awkward and dejected look on his face.
The old lady was about the same age as Mr. Jiang. Although she was sitting in a wheelchair, she was dressed elegantly and luxuriously. When she looked at Jiang Huai, her expression was gentle, but when she turned to Jiang Xuxu, she looked at him with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Jiang Xuxu vaguely guessed this person's identity.
Sure enough, Jiang Huai beside her called out softly, "Grandma."
Then he asked, "When did you come back?"
"I arrived this afternoon. Xuexi was thinking about me and came to the sanatorium to pick me up personally."
There was a smile in Mrs. Jiang's eyes when she said this. As she spoke, she pulled Lu Xuexi's hand that was supporting the wheelchair with a doting gesture.
Lu Xuexi also laughed, and her voice became a little softer.
"I miss you~"
Jiang Xuxu subconsciously looked at Lu Xuexi.
She had heard Jiang Huai say that Lu Xuexi had a big cut on her forehead, but now she saw that her forehead was smooth and clean, not to mention a wound, there was not even a scar.
How long has it been? Is he already fully healed?
Jiang Xuxu was observing, and Jiang Huai was obviously a little surprised when he saw Lu Xuexi's expression.
But before he could think about it, he heard Mrs. Jiang say,
"I wanted you to pick me up, but I heard you went to pick someone else up. Why did you come back so late?"
This other person is obviously Jiang Xuxu.
Jiang Xuxu raised her almond-shaped eyes slightly, feeling as if she was being tickled.
Jiang Huai listened to the sarcasm in Mrs. Jiang's words, and his expression paused slightly, but he soon smiled and led Jiang Xuxu forward, his tone still gentle.
"I went with Xuxu to take care of something. Grandma hasn't met you yet, right? This is Xuxu, my sister."
Old Madam Jiang still had some smiles towards Jiang Huai, her eldest grandson, but her eyes were obviously much colder when she looked at Jiang Xuxu. Now she narrowed her eyes and glanced at Jiang Xuxu indifferently.
"Now that you have returned to the Jiang family, you must behave like a young lady of the Jiang family."
When Jiang Xuxu heard this, he was too lazy to call her grandma, which was about to come out of his mouth.
Just standing there by yourself is not good either.
Old Mrs. Jiang noticed her disrespectful attitude and frowned, wanting to say something.
Then a white ball in a flowery dress came running over, jumped directly to Jiang Xuxu's feet, and started to climb up without saying a word.
Jiang Xuxu was stunned for a moment, but still subconsciously reached out and hugged the little fox.
Her movements were natural, but they scared Old Mrs. Jiang.
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at the fat fox that suddenly appeared, her eyes suddenly widened, and there was subconscious disgust in her eyes.
Jiang Xuxu suddenly remembered that when she first raised the fox, she said that Old Lady Jiang didn't like furry pets.
Subconsciously, I took a step back while holding Xiao Piaoliang.
The other members of the Jiang family in the hall subconsciously took a deep breath.
The old lady doesn't like to keep pets at home. She came back suddenly today and the house was not prepared.
Jiang Su subconsciously looked at Jiang Huai.
Brother Huai said before that he had taken care of grandma.
Don't have a sudden attack now, otherwise his sister will be so embarrassed.
Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang did not cheat her grandson. Although she frowned when she saw Jiang Xuxu's actions, she did not say anything unpleasant.
"You fox... Ah Huai told me."
Old Mrs. Jiang said with a stern face,
"You had a miserable life before, so you just raised a fox."
The other members of the Jiang family, including Jiang Su, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Xuxu remained calm, she felt that the old lady had something else to say.
Sure enough, I heard Mrs. Jiang continue,
"But I don't like that Taoist academy. It's not nice for a young lady from the Jiang family to go to such a school. Anyway, the school has just started, so just drop out."
The old lady's words shocked not only the children of the Jiang family in the hall, but even Jiang Huai couldn't help but frown. However, he tried to keep a calm tone towards his grandmother.
"Grandma, you also said that Xuxu has already started school, how can he withdraw?"
"Why not?"
Old Mrs. Jiang narrowed her eyes. "Didn't you say that she received admission notices from several prestigious universities? She can drop out of that Taoist college and switch to Hua University. If it doesn't work out, she can repeat a year. With her grades, she won't be afraid of not being able to get into a good school."
She spoke so matter-of-factly that Jiang Xuxu just found it funny.
Jiang Yucheng, who was standing by, obviously couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up suddenly, his eyebrows stern.
"Mom, don't give me orders. I agreed to Xuxu going to the Taoist Academy."
"You agreed, did you ask me?"
The old lady glared at her eldest son, "What a mess she reads, and you as a father don't care and let her do whatever she wants. If anyone tells others about it, our Jiang family will be laughed at!"
Jiang Yucheng refused to give in. "She is my daughter. She can read whatever she likes. If anyone makes a joke, let him come to me and laugh."
Old Mrs. Jiang was shocked by her son's attitude.
Although Jiang Yucheng often had a stern face in the past, he was still very filial to her.
Over the years, except for disobeying her on the matter of getting married, he basically never opposed her opinions at other times.
It was just like when she insisted on bringing her niece's granddaughter from her mother's side to raise at home.
Being suddenly confronted by her own son, Old Mrs. Jiang felt a little depressed.
I felt worse about Jiang Xuxu.
She knew that the eldest daughter, like her own mother, was deliberately against her!
No wonder!
No wonder Xuexi suddenly came to find her. Just looking at the eldest son's protective attitude, you can tell that Xuexi must have suffered a lot of grievances at home during this period!
Jiang Xuxu naturally felt that Old Mrs. Jiang didn't like him.
But, so what?
She's not the only one in the family who doesn't like her.
"I think I can decide what school I want to go to without anyone else's approval."
Jiang Xuxu suddenly interrupted the tit-for-tat between Old Lady Jiang and Jiang Yucheng.
Old Madam Jiang didn't expect that she would dare to disobey her directly. Just as she was about to reprimand her, she changed the subject and looked at another place behind Old Madam Jiang, adding slowly,
"Grandpa, don't you think so?"
Old Mrs. Jiang's expression suddenly froze, and Lu Xuexi and Jiang Cheng's expressions also froze. They turned around and saw that Old Man Jiang had come downstairs at some point.
The old lady, who had been stern and hostile at first, subconsciously restrained her expression a little.
