"What are you guys arguing about at night?" An angry female voice suddenly came from above.
Nie Jia raised his eyes, and his pupils could not help but dilate in surprise. Standing by the escalator on the second floor was a woman with a noble temperament but a sullen expression. She was Yan Su's mother, Anna. Nie Jia was surprised by Anna's appearance, which was very similar to his mother who died young in his memory.
"Aunt An, I just asked Yan Su about my grandfather's situation." Meng Qian restrained his original hedgehog-like aura, and stood beside Jiang Yang, like a well-behaved quail.
"What are you asking? No hospital in China is willing to accept your grandfather's situation. Besides, the doctor and the patient have personal grievances, so the operation cannot be performed. It was you who asked Jiang Yang to beg Susu to perform the surgery on your grandfather. The postoperative care period has not yet passed. What is there to ask! Jiang Yang, it’s fine if Meng Qian can’t figure it out, you are the head of the Jiang family now, do you want to do things like cross the river and demolish the bridge to make the outside laugh at the Jiang family?” Anna frowned, displeased looking at the stepson.
Meng Qian gritted his teeth slightly, how could he not hear the contempt in Anna's words.
"Aunt An, don't be angry. Meng Qian and I are just worried about the old man's health, nothing else." Jiang Yang still respects Anna, a stepmother, and is willing to respect her as an elder if he doesn't touch his bottom line. of.
"Worried about the old man's health, I went to the hospital to take care of him. What are you doing here looking for Susu?" Anna gave Meng Qian a warning look, then turned and left, "Susu, come with me to the study."
In the past, An Na didn't communicate with her stepson very much. After all, Jiang Yang was already six years old when she married. Besides, he was the eldest son of a wealthy family. She, as a stepmother, was not qualified to take care of her. Don't offend the river, but today Anna is obviously angry.
Jiang Yang understood that Cheng Anna was fighting for his son. After all, the attitude between him and Meng Qian just now was really not good, so he didn't care much.
Nie Jia felt a little strange because Anna looked so much like his mother. He handed over the luggage in his hand to the housekeeper and went to the study room. He knocked on the door, and Anna's trembling voice came from inside immediately, " Come in and close the door."
Nie Jia walked in and saw Anna standing by the window with her arms folded, silently and angrily looking at the night outside the window.
"Mom?" Nie Jia's voice was a little hoarse, and seeing Anna's back was filled with surging emotions, as if the mother deep in her memory had come back to life.
Anna turned around, her whole body was trembling slightly with anger in her eyes, she said with a gloomy expression, "Susu, I found out that your Uncle Jiang cheated."
Originally, An Na was heartbroken because of Yan Su's father, Yan Yu's cheating. After marrying Jiang Zhaolin, she thought she had finally found a good home. Unexpectedly, after working together for more than 20 years, she was betrayed by her husband again.
Nie Jia knew about this before, and walked over to help her sit down at the table, "You only know that he cheated? Jiang Zhaolin's illegitimate children are all in high school now."
"What?!" Anna's eyes widened immediately, she didn't doubt her son's words at all, she was trembling with anger, "The illegitimate child has already gone to high school...Jiang Zhaolin, you are really worthy of me!"
"Not only did you not know that he had an illegitimate child, but even Jiang Yang didn't know about it." Nie Jia said, "So don't worry, it is impossible for Jiang Zhaolin to bring that woman and the illegitimate child back and admit it."
Anna's carefully manicured nails dug deep into the palm of her hand, "I don't care if he will take people back and affect my interests, but I can't be angry, Susu, do you know how heartbroken my mother is now! He Jiang Zhaolin relies on I, Anna, have today, so why should I raise the outer room!"
"Mom, if you want to divorce, come with me, and I'll take you on a trip around the world." Nie Jia stroked Fu Anna's back to calm her down, "You won't be reluctant, will you?"
"What can I be reluctant to part with? I just can't be reconciled!" Anna took her son's hand, and her mood finally stabilized. "When you were young, Jiang Zhaolin almost bankrupted the Jiang Corporation. Without my dowry, the Jiang Corporation could Is there today? This old thing is not only ungrateful, but also behind my back to raise a concubine, and now ask me to divorce and give everything away? No, even if I die, I will be angry!"
Nie Jia found that Anna was more angry than sad, and after exchanging a few words with herself, the sadness was gone, leaving only the anger of being betrayed and let down.
"Mom, don't be so angry, my son will help you out. You are holding 3% of Jiang's shares, right? After selling it, Jiang's engineering shares in Pacific Cable are worth a lot. You If you want to leave, I will arrange for you to go out for fun, if you want to watch a play, feel wronged and continue to live here, and I promise you that Jiang Zhaolin will kneel down and admit his mistakes for you soon." Nie Jia said.
Anna made him smile again, and felt more comfortable. Although her husband betrayed her, she still had her son. Anna cared and said: "You want to use money. Mom has it here. It's a good thing to sell the shares. Don't do something rash on the spur of the moment. Meng Qian's grandfather is still awake, and he is staring at you from top to bottom."
Nie Jia comforted her and said, "I'm not short of money. I'm asking you to sell it while it's worth it, otherwise it will be worthless in the near future."
Anna frowned and stared at him for a while. Yan Su was sent abroad at the age of sixteen, and only returned to China two years ago. Anna missed the whole process from boyhood to youth and felt very guilty, and now Jiang Zhaolin was hurt again. She didn't care about the shares anymore, she wished she had nothing to do with the Jiang family.
"As long as you don't do anything illegal, Mom will support you." The son's smile made Anna's swelling anger gradually calm down.
"Don't worry." Nie Jia smiled.
Nie Jia and Anna talked in detail for a while and went back to their room.
The next morning, he put the photos of Jiang Zhaolin's raised woman and the illegitimate child in front of Anna. The illegitimate child is Jiang Wenbo, who is now a sophomore in high school and looks very similar to Jiang Zhaolin.
Jiang Zhaolin has been raised in this outer room for more than ten years, and she didn't know until now, Anna couldn't help but feel sick. She was angry at Jiang Zhaolin's betrayal. At this moment, her feelings for Jiang Zhaolin's husband and wife of more than 20 years were gone. She turned around and agreed to her son's words and sold all the shares and other assets in her hand. As long as she divorced Jiang Zhaolin, she could leave. people.
Three days later, the Jiang mansion was brightly lit, and all kinds of luxury cars were parked outside the gate, and everyone from the upper class of Yuecheng came, because today was the engagement dinner for Jiang Yang and Meng Qian, the young heads of the Jiang family.
Nie Jia curled up on the bed and could faintly hear voices coming through the crack of the door. It must be very lively outside. Nie Jia was in a bad mood, lying on his side with an unwell expression, his forehead covered in cold sweat. The original host, Yan Su, suffered from stomachaches, and at this time Nie Jia was enduring the pain with his fists on his stomach.
Downstairs, at the lively and luxurious banquet scene, Meng Qian was formally introduced by Jiang Yang to the upper class society of Yuecheng with a glass of wine. At this time, Meng Qian's mood was a little happy and nervous. After all, he couldn't even touch the edge of this circle before, and now he was able to join the middle, which he didn't even dare to think about before.
"Congratulations, cousin. From now on, I have to change my name to younger brother and sister." Jiang Yang's cousin, Jiang He, greeted Jiang Yang and smiled teasingly at Meng Qian.
Meng Qian smiled shyly, and couldn't help but look up at Jiang Yang with affectionate eyes. All this was brought to him by his lover around him.
Jiang Yang held Meng Qian's waist with one hand, and couldn't help feeling emotional when he noticed his gaze. He drove away the smiling Jiang He and led the people to the corner, rubbing his ears and temples in a low voice.
As soon as they left, a few familiar ladies in the circle gathered together chatting.
The married daughter of the Li family asked in a low voice: "How did I hear that Meng Qian's grandfather is still lying in the hospital? The old man is so happy to get engaged before he has passed the critical period. He doesn't postpone the day at all. Jiang Yang really likes this little painter."
The lady of the Gu family smiled and said, "The Jiang family sent the invitation to Huo Qing a long time ago. If it were you, would you dare to tell Huo Qing, 'Oh Mr. Huo, I'm sorry we changed the date, please come again next time' Huo Qing can come here some time, I don't know how to give Jiang's parents more face."
Several girls laughed together, only the daughter of the Li family, who had never been in the country, said in surprise: "Huo Qing?! He is a wealthy family in the capital, how can Jiang Yang and He De invite Mr. Huo here!"
"I don't know if you've been abroad for a long time. Some time ago, Jiang Yang contracted the Pacific Cable project. Where do you think the Jiang family can do this? It was Mr. Huo who injected the capital, otherwise Jiang Yang would have been strangled to death by the doctor's stepson." Now, who knows how Jiang Yang climbed up to Mr. Huo." Miss Gu's family said with emotion: "If I didn't see Mr. Huo coming in just now, I wouldn't believe it."
The eldest daughter of the Jiang family laughed softly: "You don't know that, didn't Jiang Yang spend 3 million to take a picture of Meng Qian's painting some time ago, do you know who to give it to?"
The lady of the Gu family said: "Give it to Mr. Huo? Can't you... Let Mr. Huo inject more than one billion yuan into Jiang's family for a painting worth three million? Then I will regret it to death. There are thousands of paintings hanging in my room." As for Wan's paintings, I would have sent them to Mr. Huo if I had known earlier."
The eldest goddess of the Jiang family looked around mysteriously, and felt that no one noticed them, so she whispered: "It's for Mr. Huo's sister, Huo Jun. Jiang Yang took Meng Qian's painting and gave it to Huo Jun for his birthday. A gift, I didn't expect Huo Jun to like that painting very much, my sister was so happy that Mr. Huo gave Jiang Yang a hand. Jiang Yang is a textbook-level match, so learn from it."
The daughter of the Li family pursed her lips and smiled gracefully: "I really envy Huo Jun, why don't I have such a brother."
The lady of the Gu family fell silent, and suddenly said: "I don't think Meng Qian's paintings are good at all. I have seen Meng Qian's paintings, just like that, don't say three million, thirty thousand is the best." Huo Jun used to be a well-known painter of the new generation, can she like Meng Qian's paintings?"
The girls looked at each other, and the eldest daughter of the Jiang family said, "Actually, I also think that Meng Qian's paintings are not very good. Jiang Yang paid three million, which is ridiculous."
The daughter of the Li family didn't know the current situation in the country, so she couldn't analyze it, so she said casually: "Maybe Jiang Yang helped to stir it up? He can divorce Qin Yiran for Meng Qian. What's so difficult about helping to fire up his lover's paintings?" ... Hey, I don't quite remember what Qin Yiran looks like, is that her in front?"
A few people looked along the line of sight that the daughter of the Li family froze suddenly, and saw a beautiful looking woman walking straight towards Jiang Yang, holding a jackknife in her hand, her eyes full of resentment Staring intently at Jiang Yang who was secretly making out with Meng Qian, it was obvious what she wanted to do.
The girls suddenly gasped, and were about to call the security guards, but they were a step too late. Qin Yiran suddenly raised his pocket knife and shouted heartbrokenly: "Jiang Yang! I'll kill you!"
