On their first meeting, they were discussing such private family matters, and the other party seemed quite interested. Logically, Mr. Jiang should have been resistant.
Ultimately, it was he who started the conversation, and the other person was a young woman. So, Mr. Jiang not only didn't feel disgusted, but he also found the conversation very relaxing.
You know, all these years of worries about my son have been weighing on my mind, and it hasn't been easy for me either.
He does have some good old friends, but they are cautious and polite. Every time they get together, they talk about tea and wine, current affairs, and strange tales they have heard, but they never talk about their family background, so he doesn't feel comfortable bringing it up.
Strangely enough, he was able to talk about his family's shameful affairs with this young woman he was meeting for the first time!
Therefore, he responded to Hong Xiaoduo's question without hesitation.
Even now, when he heard Hong Xiaoduo asking about his concubine's son, he simply assumed she was young and just curious.
“Over the years, I have accompanied her back to her parents’ home several times, but I have never seen that child. Pang’s family said that the child has always blamed her for not raising him and has always felt uneasy about it. So when he learned that she had gone back, he avoided her and hid somewhere. We searched for him but couldn’t find him. He said that he would come back on his own after we left.” After saying this, Mr. Jiang sighed again, feeling even more guilty towards Pang.
She sacrificed so much for her son, yet he resented her, and she wasn't even given the position of his legal wife.
Hong Xiaoduo was unaware that her father was feeling guilty towards the Pang family and was seriously pondering the matter.
If it's really as I suspect, then it's just another case of a switcheroo!
But this is just my guess. Even if this Mr. Jiang trusts me so much during this meeting, I can't say this to him!
I just subconsciously thought in that direction based on what others said, without any evidence. What if it's not like that?
Hong Xiaoduo is a straightforward person, but not a reckless fool.
After calmly and rationally thinking for a moment, he came up with an idea: "Mr. Jiang, don't worry. Your son is over twenty years old this year. Logically speaking, at this age, he should be married and have children, right?"
"Don't even mention it. Given the Jiang family's background, his marriage should be easy to arrange, but because he has had a bad reputation since childhood, no good family would be willing to marry their daughter to him."
It's not that I look down on bad families, I just want to find someone who can keep him in check after we get married, but where can I find one? He does have a concubine now, oh well, I've already told you so many embarrassing things, so one more won't make a difference.
"His current concubine wasn't a good match either. He was out there causing trouble, harassing other girls. One girl even tried to kill herself by hanging herself. I had to swallow my pride and beg someone to go to her parents' house to discuss it with them. We gave them a large dowry and brought her back." Father Jiang said, bowing his head and shaking his head in shame.
Upon hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo forced herself to ask, "Did the girl you brought back want to be here? How has your good-for-nothing son treated her?"
She really wanted to gossip and have some fun, but facing Mr. Jiang, who was so open and trusting of her, she felt she couldn't go too far!
Looking at Mr. Jiang in front of her, she felt sorry for him. What good was it to be able to make money and have a large family business if he couldn't even raise a son properly?
"Ahem, well, young lady, may I be so bold as to ask you something?" Mr. Jiang hesitated before speaking.
Hong Xiaoduo nodded and said, "Mr. Jiang, please feel free to ask whatever you need."
"You're the only person who's been able to control this brat all these years. I wonder, cough cough, well, could you...?"
