Jiang Zongnan probably realized that Tang Wanru's complaints about him were inappropriate, so he frowned and stopped her with a sharp look mixed with a hint of impatience: "As an elder, why are you arguing with the younger generation all day long? Nian Nian is your niece, not your enemy! You keep talking about that person, and people who don't know would think you are talking about a stranger."
Tang Wanru's eyes immediately turned resentful, and she sneered at the man sitting behind the desk, "Yes, of course you can stop treating her as an enemy. After all, it wasn't your daughter she sent to jail, so you can naturally forgive her."
Jiang Zongnan had already known that Jiang Xianrou was not his biological daughter.
When she brought him up, Jiang Zongnan's face froze, and he immediately looked over in disbelief, his tone tinged with anger: "Are you crazy?"
Tang Wanru also realized that she had said the wrong thing, but the words had already been spoken and there was no way to take them back. Annoyance flashed across her face, but more of it was anger: "Humph, I was just telling the truth, she is not a good person!"
As he was speaking, the secretary knocked on the door.
Jiang Zongnan didn't want to get entangled with her, so he said, "Come in."
The secretary came in from outside and sensed the tense atmosphere between the two men. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Mr. Jiang, there is a Mr. Ye outside who wants to see you."
"Surname Ye?" Jiang Zongnan was surprised for a second, then immediately said, "Let him in."
"Okay." The secretary closed the door again and went out to call someone.
When Tang Wanru heard that the man named Ye had come to her house, she forgot that she was arguing with Jiang Zongnan and asked him as if nothing had happened, "Could it be Ye Wangchuan?"
"I don't know." Jiang Zongnan looked at her unhappily. If it weren't for his two sons, he might have chosen to divorce Tang Wanru long ago.
Now he is just maintaining his marriage, but decades of betrayal and deception cannot be forgiven just like that.
When Tang Wanru saw that he was indifferent again, she felt angry, but there was nothing she could do. She could only gather her hair as if nothing had happened and look straight ahead, pretending nothing had happened.
Soon a person came in from outside.
The man was wearing a suit with a light blue shirt underneath. A black diamond brooch in the shape of a butterfly was pinned to the collar of the shirt, which was low-key yet elegant.
Ye Wangchuan walked in and saw the two of them. He didn't seem surprised and greeted Jiang Zongnan naturally: "Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Zongnan never thought that Ye Wangchuan would come to his house in person, and hurriedly walked over from behind his desk: "Ye..."
He didn't know how to address the man in front of him.
Finally, he managed to say, "How come Master Ye has time to come here? What do you want from me?"
As he spoke, he told his secretary, "Go make two cups of tea."
Unexpectedly, Ye Wangchuan had no intention of staying for long. He stopped his secretary and said to Jiang Zongnan, "Boss Jiang, I'm just here to deliver an invitation. I won't bother you for too long."
Jiang Zongnan understood that the other person didn't want to stay with him any longer, so he tactfully asked his secretary to leave first.
While rubbing his brow bone, he said with a guilty look on his face: "It's been so long since Nian Nian came back, and I haven't seen her yet. I am such a failure as a second uncle."
The three people present knew it well.
Jiang Zongnan was just being polite.
Even if he has time to see Qiao Nian, Qiao Nian may not want to see him.
It’s just that interactions between adults are so hypocritical that they always have to whitewash the awkward relationship between the two parties.
