Jiang Yingqiong said, "But Ah Shuang has really waited for you for twenty years. You know, the best time for a woman is these twenty years. Since youâve already returned, whether youâve remembered her or not, shouldnât you at least give her a message? She will definitely be very excited and happy, and also, the relationship between the Jiang Family and the Lu Family will stabilize immediately."
Ah Liu frowned slightly, but when he saw the worry in Jiang Yingqiongâs eyes, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Because of his departure, and because the old master was truly getting old, over these years, the Jiang Family seemed not like the one he remembered. The old master was no longer the authoritative family head whose words no one dared to contradict; now there were even people who wanted him dead.
With age, even a tiger becomes a weak cat.
Now their branch of the family was indeed sparse; for so many years he had been in life and death uncertainty, so it was no wonder others developed different intentions.
These days, Ah Liu had roughly understood the situation of the Jiang Family. He also knew that to say "we donât need to rely on others" now would be rather affected.
However, the Lu Family, he still hadnât planned to approach.
After all, he hadnât completely remembered the past yet. Besides Little and Meng Xinian, he couldnât fully trust anyone else.
Women, especially, were something he completely didnât want to deal with now.
Lu Shuangshuang, he really hadnât remembered her yet, so how could he face her?
It might sound cold and heartless, but he wasnât even sure if she truly stayed unmarried for him for these twenty years, so how could he bear such a heavy emotion and responsibility?
"Letâs wait a little longer. Grandpaâs health is the most important now."
Jiang Yingqiong sighed.
This was becoming more and more tangled and troublesome.
She wondered if it was a year of misfortune.
But, Xiao Liu returning was already a great blessing, wasnât it?
Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian, carrying medicine, followed Chen Baoshen out the door, walked some distance, and reached another room, where two strong men in black were standing at the entrance.
Were they guards or bodyguards?
Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao exchanged a glance.
"Old Chen, who are these two?"
At the door, the two bodyguards stopped them.
"This is Xiao Chiang, the daughter of Sixth Young Master, and this is Officer Meng Xinian, Xiao Chiangâs fiancĂ©."
With Chen Baoshenâs introduction, Chiang Xiao realized that these two bodyguards must be trusted people from the Jiang Family.
They took a moment to scrutinize Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian, and when they saw Chiang Xiaoâs face, they were simultaneously surprised; her face truly resembled Sixth Young Masterâs, unmistakably.
"Please come in, Little Miss."
Little Miss...
Chiang Xiao was a bit dumbfounded.
The daughter of the Young Master, little, miss?
But coincidentally, her nickname was Little, so it sounded like these two were calling her sister.
"Xiao Chiang, come in first." Chen Baoshen, however, saw nothing inappropriate.
Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao entered, and the two bodyguards closed the door behind them.
Inside the room was the smell of traditional medicine, and a man sat on a chair watching a medicine pot on the table. Steam was coming out from the potâs spout, making the room feel much warmer than outside.
As they entered, Chen Yiping stood up, first calling "Uncle," then his eyes involuntarily landed on Chiang Xiaoâs face.
He had come from D State to the Capital because his help was needed here, and he was to serve as Chen Baoshenâs assistant. So, after arriving, he had met Sixth Young Master Jiang, and now seeing Chiang Xiao, he was startled by their resemblance.
"This is my nephew, Chen Yiping. Previously, he had been serving as the family physician in the Jiang Family. Although he studied traditional Chinese medicine, he also studied abroad for two years," Chen Baoshen introduced.
Studied abroad?
