Just at this moment, Jiang Zongnan came out, patted her shoulder, and said to her in a gentle voice: "Xianrou, your grandfather wants you to go in for a while."
Jiang Xianrou put away her phone in an upset mood, said "oh", and got up to go in.
…
It was not until she entered that Tang Wanru slowly picked up the cup of scented tea, took a sip of tea, raised her willow-shaped eyebrows, and asked, "Did Dad ask Xianrou to come in because of my brother's matter?"
Jiang Zongnan moved Jiang Xianrou away from where she had just sat and sat down. Upon hearing this, he irritably took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette, and lit it between his fingers. Without avoiding Tang Wanru, he hummed and said concisely, "Big brother and his team have offended the forces in the illegal area this time. It's a big deal, and Jiang Li couldn't solve it. My dad and I used our connections to find out the other party's background. The other party has some connection with the Red Alliance and has considerable influence in the illegal area."
Tang Wanru: "Is it related to the Red Alliance?"
Illegal area and Red Alliance, putting these two terms together spells a big trouble no matter how you look at it.
"Xianrou and Zhou Hengfeng have a good relationship, so Dad wants to ask Xianrou if Zhou Hengfeng can still contact the people from the Red Alliance. If he can contact the Red Alliance, things will be much easier to solve."
Hearing this, Tang Wanru pulled the corners of her mouth to hide her disdain, and said softly as if it had nothing to do with her: "If Dad hadn't caused such a fuss with the Zhou family because of Qiao Nian and Zhou Wei's matter, there wouldn't be a need for a junior like Xianrou to ask Zhou Hengfeng for help now."
Jiang Zongnan felt unhappy when he heard her making sarcastic remarks, but he had to admit that in some ways, Tang Wanru was right.
If it weren’t for the Zhou Wei incident, the relationship between my family and the Zhou family would have been too strained.
It's not so difficult to speak now.
It’s not that they are afraid of losing face, but the main thing is that after such a mess, even if they ask Zhou Hengfeng for help, he may not be willing to give them the contact information of the Red Alliance.
"I heard that Qiao Nian has been making quite a stir online recently... She is a very active person. With such a big incident at home, she still has the energy to show off outside."
Jiang Zongnan finally couldn't listen any more, frowned, glanced at her, and interrupted her unhappily: "What are you talking about? Nian Nian doesn't know about this. I haven't told her about her father yet! Don't say that again in the future, or your father will be sad if he hears it."
It has been less than a year since Qiao Nian came back.
It has only been a little over a month since I officially returned to my ancestral home.
The old man dotes on her and protects her in every way.
Tang Wanru's eyebrows were slightly cold and she stopped talking, but there was no sign of anxiety or worry on her face. She lowered her head to drink her water, waiting for Jiang Xianrou to come out.
His indifferent expression was like that of an outsider who did not care about what happened at home.
…
In Jiang Weishang's ward.
After hearing the whole story, Jiang Xianrou had the same attitude as Tang Wanru. She refused without even considering it: "Grandpa, it's not that I don't want to help, but you know about Zhou Wei's incident last time. My family had a very unhappy quarrel with Uncle Zhou. Even if I go to him, Uncle Zhou may not be willing to help. What's more, this matter involves the illegal area and the Red Alliance. He will not help us even more."
In fact, after the Zhou family fell into decline because of Zhou Wei's incident, Jiang Xianrou and Zhou Hengfeng maintained a good relationship.
If she asked, Zhou Hengfeng might not be unwilling to help.
