553 alarmed many people
Shi Yan and Jiang che didn’t deliberately hide the traces of their return to the capital. Even the person who picked them up at the airport was Jiang Bai, one of Jiang Che’s trusted aides.
in a place like the capital where big shots were everywhere, the moment the two of them got into jiang bai’s car, their return to the capital was known to many people.
“what? you’re back?”
in a certain courtyard of the jiang family’s mansion, someone heard the report from the person on the phone and was so shocked that he stood up from the sofa.
other than him, there were two other people sitting in the living room.
“i know, continue to keep an eye on yingluo.”
he paused and reminded the person on the phone, ” “Restrain yourself a little and don’t keep a close eye on him. Don’t push him too hard. If we really push him too hard, he won’t care about the Brotherhood!”
The second master of the Jiang family, Jiang Zhe, hung up the phone, his brows still deeply furrowed.
After being rescued from Shi Yan, he had been in a bad state and had been recuperating. it took a month for her to recover a little and no longer looked like a refugee when she first came out.
sitting on the sofa were jiang dong, the third master of the jiang family, and jiang hao, the fourth master of the jiang family. they had come to visit jiang zhe.
Jiang Zhe was recuperating at home. When they had time, they would take some time to express their concern for their brother. He came over right after dinner today.
from jiang zhe’s reaction, they could guess who the person who had ” returned ” was without asking.
unlike the other members of the jiang family, jiang dong and jiang hao did not have any prejudice against jiang che. not only that, but they also hoped that jiang che would return and continue to support the jiang family.
however, they knew that jiang che would not listen to their advice. they did not even dare to take the initiative to look for jiang che. Just like the last time, when Jiang Dong went to Haicheng with Jiang Yuxiao, he regretted it as soon as he arrived.
their hearts were not calm.
He didn’t know if he was more excited or worried.
He was excited that his fifth brother was finally willing to come back, but he was worried that the peace he had been maintaining would be broken.
If it wasn’t for something that needed to be dealt with personally, fifth brother wouldn’t have come back now.
Even though they knew this, Jiang Hao and Jiang Dong looked at each other and asked, ” “second brother, who’s back?”
“fifth brother zhenzhen.”
she could tell that jiang zhe was trying his best to suppress his anger when he said this. his expression was not too bad.
“Has fifth brother returned? Did you come back to deal with business and then leave in a hurry like last time?” Jiang Hao asked despite knowing the answer.
Fifth brother had also come back once before, but the commotion that time wasn’t as big. At the very least, it wasn’t like this time, where the Jiang family had received the news as soon as he returned.
It could be seen that fifth brother had returned in a high-profile manner this time.
Jiang Zhe didn’t answer him directly. He frowned and said, ” “I heard that he brought the daughter of the Shi family with him.”
since he had already brought her back, he definitely wouldn’t leave in a hurry like last time!
Jiang Zhe said, ” he didn’t want to come back even after a few times. Now, he’s suddenly returned. There was no warning at all! he was not prepared at all!
“It’s not like there were no signs.”
jiang dong looked at jiang zhe and smiled. ” not long ago, second brother went to see that miss shi and was asked to stay as a guest to pick you up personally. later, aunt bai went to pay her new year’s greetings, and both the yun and bai families received fifth brother’s greetings. second brother should have known that fifth brother would be back soon. ”
Jiang Zhe felt that Jiang Dong was mocking him.
“Third brother, what do you mean? Are you saying that I’m the one who provoked fifth brother? I went to see that miss Shi only because I was following father’s orders. How could I dare to disobey father’s orders? For this matter, I’ve suffered a great sin for no reason. Who can I complain to?”
he said it as if he had been wronged, but it was obvious that he was thinking about the family business and wanted to show off in front of the old man so that the old man would hand the family business to him.
Those who truly had no desires could not be threatened even if they were their own fathers.
He and Jiang Hao wouldn’t have listened to the old man’s threats.
Jiang Dong was disdainful of Jiang Zhe.
“second brother, you’ve misunderstood. i don’t mean it that way. I’m just giving you some analysis to confirm that fifth brother’s return was not without any signs.”
he looked at jiang hao and the latter said, ” “this matter can not be considered anyone’s fault. ever since the news of fifth brother’s recovery reached the capital, he will return sooner or later. even if he didn’t want to come back, his father would find a way to force him to come back. No matter what, it’s a good thing that fifth brother is willing to return.”
“i don’t think fifth brother will return to the jiang family. since he’s back, as a family member who hasn’t seen each other for a few years, we should pay him a visit to express our concern. third brother and i won’t stay any longer, we’ll go back and find bai ‘er and yun’ er to discuss how to pay a visit.”
The two of them left immediately, no longer caring about Jiang Zhe.
Jiang Zhe looked down on their eagerness to curry favor with Jiang che and snorted in disdain.
He took out his phone and dialed again.
However, he did not call his own son, but the son of the eldest branch, the eldest young master of the Jiang family in the capital, Jiang Nan.
“little nan.”
“second uncle,” The other party replied.
“Second uncle, why are you calling me at this hour?”
there were still the voices of a woman and a child talking beside jiang nan. he even teased the child in between his calls.
“your fifth uncle is back.” jiang zhe said.
The other side of the phone was silent for about ten seconds before Jiang Nan’s voice came again. ” that’s a good thing. the jiang family needs fifth uncle now. ”
“You’re so silly!”
jiang zhe’s brows furrowed deeply. he didn’t expect jiang nan to have such a reaction.
“you didn’t go back to the old house tonight?”
“No, the old mansion is too empty. Yu ‘er and Diandian don’t like to stay at the old mansion, so we’re at the villa in the South Bay. if there’s nothing else, i’ll hang up first. yu ‘er and i have just finished dinner, and diandian hasn’t eaten yet. yu’ er can’t handle a monkey like diandian on her own, so i’ll go help her. ”
” diandian, you little brat. you’re becoming more and more lawless just because your mother dotes on you. ” jiang nan hung up the phone as he spoke.
When Jiang Zhe heard the beeping sound from the phone, he was stunned for a long time.
“Yo, you’re trying to sell her out but she didn’t buy it!”
jiang zhe raised his head and saw jiang yu standing there with his arms crossed and leaning against the door frame.
Jiang Zhe’s expression was not very good when his own son saw this scene. He stared at Jiang Yu for a long time before saying, ” “How can you talk to your dad like that!”
“Dad, you’re speaking as if it’s the first day you’ve known me. oh, i don’t think i was like this before, so it’s normal that you’ve never seen this side of me. ” Jiang Yu’s lips curved into a smile, looking like a frivolous second generation.
“it’s all my fault for not being able to live up to expectations in the past, making you, my father, look down on me and think of finding your own successor. Unfortunately, you’ve found the wrong person. Do you really think Jiang Nan is a good person? He’s someone who doesn’t even care about the life and death of his biological parents. You’re only his second uncle, do you really think he’ll be someone you can rely on in your old age?”
Oh, it’s not right to say that Jiang Nan isn’t a good person. He’s just smart enough to know that he’s not fifth uncle’s match. After his parents offended fifth uncle, he cleverly removed himself from the situation.
The more he spoke, the more Jiang Zhe’s expression turned ugly.
