"Yes!" Father Jiang nodded and said, "That person used to be Xue’er’s friend, nad Cheng Li. She also has an identical bracelet."
"Who is Cheng Li?"
"Where is she now?"
"Cheng Li and Jiang Mingzhu kidnapped my wife and last ti. She is still being held in jail," Father Jiang glanced at Old Sir Jiang and said.
He had long known that the other party was Jiang Mingzhu’s grandfather, but seeing that he earnestly sought Jiang Xue, he allowed him into the house.
Moreover, he could tell that Old Sir Jiang was a person of status, so it wouldn’t be wise to offend them.
After listening to Father Jiang’s words, Old Sir Jiang said nothing further. However, he felt it was necessary to clarify the matter of the bracelet. So, he turned his head and quietly instructed his subordinate, "Go find out, investigate imdiately."
The subordinate nodded and then left the Jiang Family.
Because Cheng Li was ntioned, and the topic of Father Jiang’s kidnapping was brought up, the atmosphere imdiately cooled. Fortunately, at that mont, Mrs. Jiang ca over to invite everyone next door for a al.
Jiang Xue did not specially prepare dishes because of Old Sir Jiang and his family’s arrival, so the dishes were just everyday ho-cooked als.
Yet, each dish was full of color, aroma, and taste. Even Old Madam Jiang, accustod to gourt food, couldn’t stop praising them.
Overall, the al was quite pleasant. After eating, Jiang Xue arranged for Mr. Mu and the others to rest, and Little Reunion was entrusted to Little Fox, giving her ti to face Old Sir Jiang and Old Madam Jiang alone.
"Old Jiang, Madam Jiang, may I ask what brings you specifically to my house?" Jiang Xue asked calmly, her attitude remaining composed and not showing anger because of their relation to Jiang Mingzhu.
No matter what, Jiang Mingzhu is Jiang Mingzhu, and the two elders are themselves. Since they hadn’t stated their intentions, she wouldn’t presumptuously speculate their visit with malice.
However, Jiang Xue felt that the likely reason for their visit was Jiang Mingzhu. After all, so long as she didn’t withdraw her complaint, Jiang Mingzhu might have to stay in prison for a long ti.
Even though the Jiang family has power and influence, Jiang Mingzhu kidnapped military personnel. In these tis, that accusation is serious.
"Jiang Xue, may we call you Xue’er?" Old Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Xue, laughing as she asked. The more she looked at Jiang Xue, the more she liked her.
She couldn’t help comparing Jiang Xue with Jiang Mingzhu. Jiang Mingzhu, treasured as she is by the Jiang family, had beco sowhat arrogant and domineering, selfish and harsh, petty and calculating.
But Jiang Xue was different. Although she grew up in a rural area, her deanor and poise didn’t resemble that background at all; she seed more like a true young lady from a distinguished family than Jiang Mingzhu.
Thus, at that mont, she concluded in her heart that Jiang Xue was indeed a child of the Jiang family.
As for the matter Father Jiang ntioned about another bracelet, she had no particular thoughts, nor did she believe Cheng Li had any connection with the Jiang family.
Of course, her seriousness wasn’t solely due to the good impression Jiang Xue left on her, but because she felt a sense of intimacy with Jiang Xue, which was even stronger than what Jiang Mingzhu evoked.
Jiang Xue looked at Old Madam Jiang, initially wanting to refuse, but seeing her compassionate eyes filled with a hint of expectation, she eventually nodded.
Seeing Jiang Xue nod, Old Madam Jiang’s smile deepened, like a blooming flower, extraordinarily beautiful.
Although Old Madam Jiang was already over sixty, she remained well-maintained, appearing as though she was only in her forties. Her smile was as refreshing as a spring breeze, bringing a flourish of blossoms.
