Chapter 1494: Chapter 1496: The Meaning of a Threat Chapter 1494: Chapter 1496: The Meaning of a Threat Moreover, because Chiang Baohe was executed, Chiang Songtao and Ho Laidi always felt that those who could have helped did not. Later on, when Chiang Baoguo sought help from the Xue Family, it was clear that they could have been of assistance, but Chiang Xiao messed things up. Therefore, both elderly parents harbored hatred towards Chiang Xiao.
However, at that time, Chiang Yuequn was nowhere to be seen, so it seems normal that he didnāt hold such resentment.
He used to be quite cordial with their family.
But now Chiang Songhai has learned to be cautious. Given that Chiang Yuequn knows they live here but has never visited, itās clear he still has some apprehensions.
Now that Chen Kaijin has come, is it to embolden themselves together?
āI donāt really drink.ā Chiang Songhai said, then addressed Chen Kaijin: āBetter take it all back. Actually, Qingjiang has changed his surname to Deng. It was just us lending him a hand back then; itās all in the past now and doesnāt matter anymore. Thereās no need to dwell on it.ā
Chiang Songhaiās words took even Ge Liutao aback for a moment.
What does the old man mean by this?
Even Chen Kaijinās heart skipped a beat. Was Chiang Songhai intending to dismiss the father-son relationship with Qingjiang?
That cannot be!
Could it be that the old couple grew cold-hearted from wealth and are unwilling to share their fortune with their adopted son?
She was somewhat annoyed internally, yet her face was filled with smiles.
āDad, you must be joking. The kindness you showed Qingjiang isnāt something that can just be dismissed. Besides, Qingjiang will always be your son, and I am your daughter-in-law. The whole Siyang Village knows that, and Qingjiang was even included in the family register, wasnāt he? Even though Qingjiang has changed his surname and his household registration has been moved, heās still Chiang Qingjiang in the Siyang Village family register, still your son. Thatās something that canāt be dismissed.ā
She was aware of this because Deng Qingjiang had once complained to her about the hassle of changing the family register, expressing concern that it would be difficult to dissociate his name as the son of Chiang Songhai in the register.
But the ways of the world are ever-changing.
Now, she suddenly recalled this matter and realized, fortunately, the family register hadnāt been altered.
Upon hearing this, Chiang Songhai suddenly felt quite uncomfortable.
He always felt a hint of threat in Chen Kaijinās words. In the past, he never could detect malicious intent in othersā words, but now he could.
Everything they owned was earned through Littleās struggles. What Chen Kaijin meant was, could it be that Deng Qingjiang could share everything they owned and even inherit it later?
His complexion immediately turned a bit unsightly.
āHave a seat, please sit down.ā
He gave Ge Liutao a look, which she understood, but was somewhat puzzled.
Was this a signal for her to make a phone call?
But who to call?
Little?
She isnāt sure if Little is at home at the moment.
They knew that Meng Xinian had provided an apartment in the Capital City for Little, but they thought it was just a small place for Little to live alone. Chiang Xiao hadnāt explained the details to them.
āMeng Xinian said he would come over tonight, right? He doesnāt have training tomorrow, so go give him a call and ask what time heāll arrive,ā Chiang Songhai said to her, seeing she seemed a bit confused.
If Little isnāt home, Meng Xinianās presence would serve the same purpose.
Chiang Songhai knew he probably couldnāt handle these people alone and couldnāt resist looking for support.
Meng Xinian would occasionally come back to dine with them and fix whatever was broken at home.
Chiang Songhai remembered him mentioning that he wouldnāt have training this Sunday. With Chen Kaijin visiting and uncertain when she would leave or what might happen, he still desired to have Meng Xinian come over.
