Tang Wanru managed to remain calm at first, but when she heard this, she looked at him fiercely and said, "Brother, we have always lived in this house. If you take it back, where will we live?"
Jiang Zongnan frowned and called out to her coldly, "Wanru, don't talk!"
Tang Wanru endured it and turned her head away.
The relatives of the Jiang family were stunned by the request made by Jiang Zongjin. They looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
The two brothers of the Jiang family have always had a good relationship, and there has never been any conflict in the family. What happened this time that made Jiang Zongjim, who is usually good-tempered, want to split up the family and take back the old house as well
Most of the relatives of the Jiang family are moving around the city, except for one aunt who moved to Beijing with Grandpa Jiang in his early years.
This time Jiang Zongjim called her over as well.
When she heard Jiang Zongjin say that he wanted to split up the family and take back the house, she was stunned for a moment, frowned, looked at Qiao Nian beside her, and turned back to say to Old Man Jiang: "Brother, what is Zongjin doing? We are all family, and we are still connected. What happened? Is it necessary to make such a fuss?"
She said indifferently, not quite agreeing: "If you have any problems, please tell us and we can help solve them together. As the saying goes, 'As long as the old people are still alive, the family will not be divided.' Why should we divide the family properly?"
She and Mr. Jiang are cousins.
There is another grandson who is the same age as Jiang Xianrou, but his academic performance is not as good as Jiang Xianrou. He did not get into Tsinghua University and is studying at a third-tier university in Beijing.
She had calculated clearly that her child would definitely join the Jiang family's company in the future.
Jiang family’s company is managed by Jiang Zongnan.
Jiang Zongji has been treated like a nobody these years. When brothers are at odds with each other, it is obvious who she should please and whose side she should stand on.
She will definitely stand on the side of the second wife's family. If she sells it well now, it will be much more convenient to ask the second wife to help arrange a job for her grandson in the future.
The cousin's grandmother's eyes turned, and she had figured out her position. She said in a mocking tone, "Besides, the old house has always been occupied by Zongnan and his family. It's easy to say that, but in fact, moving is not that simple..."
The Jiang family's old house is in a very good location. This area is recognized as a large compound area in Beijing, and it is a location that cannot be bought even with money.
The house is a three-story villa.
There is also a small garden of 100 square meters outside. The gardener takes care of it very carefully, and there are flowers blooming in the yard all year round.
In Beijing, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, if the Jiang family's old house were to be sold, it would be worth at least hundreds of millions.
Ordinary people may not be able to buy it even if they have the money.
It can be said that an old house is not only a property, but also a symbol of a person’s social status.
Jiang Xianrou and her family living here is equivalent to telling other families in Beijing that their family is the heir chosen by Mr. Jiang!
This kind of conventional external value is the reason why Tang Wanru's face suddenly changed when she heard Jiang Zongjin asking her to return the house.
Old Master Jiang was sitting in a wheelchair, holding a cane in his hand. His eyes were cloudy but if you looked closely you could see a gleam of light hidden in them. He was definitely not an old man with dementia. The years had left ruthless marks on him, but they had also gently preserved his wise character.
He ignored the chattering cousin, turned his head, glanced at Jiang Xianrou, and said, "Xianrou, what do you think?"
The eyes of relatives and elders once again fell on Jiang Xianrou.
