Everyone in the entire hall fell silent for a moment, exchanging glances with each other.
At this time, they all turned their attention to Jiang Jingyao, as if they wanted to hear what his answer would be.
Jiang Jingyao's face was tense and he didn't speak for a while.
At this time, a cold voice sounded, breaking the strange silence: "Jiang Chuning, come here."
Everyone looked up and realized that the voice came from the person next to Jiang Jingyao, Jiang Shanghan.
He stood there, tall and straight, with stern brows and a coldness emanating from his whole body.
Just one look can make people feel intimidated.
Jiang Chuning grabbed the skirt at her side with both hands, looked at him, opened her mouth, and her face turned a little pale.
She wanted to go over there, but for some reason, her feet felt like they were filled with lead and were too heavy for her to lift.
When Jiang Yunzhu saw this, the smile on his face widened: "Ning Ning, don't you really want to know the truth? Don't you want to know what kind of person this father who loves you so much is and why he killed your mother?
?”
Jiang Chuning closed his eyes slightly, took a breath, turned his head and said to Jiang Yunzhu: "Second uncle, I don't know what you want to say. I only know that I have lived with my father for more than twenty years, and there is no one else."
I know him better than I do, and no one can slander him from me.
If it was really like you said, and my father was the kind of person you said, you would have used this as an excuse to blackmail him, instead of insisting on telling me the truth here in front of everyone.
"
There are many people attending the birthday banquet today, and all of them have prominent status. If word of what happened tonight spreads out, even if Jiang Yunzhu is finally proven to be talking nonsense, the impact has already been caused.
The smile on Jiang Yunzhu's face remained unchanged: "Ning Ning, you have indeed grown up, but what do I want to do to blackmail him? What I want is for him to be ruined in front of everyone, just like me."
Jiang Chuning shook his head gently: "Second uncle, you want a lot. If you just want my father to be ruined, you should go to a press conference to achieve the effect you want."
Jiang Yunzhu narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a few seconds before saying: "You are right, you are still thinking of Zhou Dao."
Jiang Chuning pursed her lips slightly, then turned around and walked quickly in the direction of her father and Jiang Shanghan.
Jiang Jingyao glanced at her approvingly, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, I have some family matters to deal with today, so the birthday banquet ends here."
As soon as these words came out, some people left knowingly, and some people stood still, seeming to want to wait and see again.
What Jiang Yunzhu said is certainly not groundless, there must be more secrets.
As more and more people left, Jiang Chuning suddenly felt his hand being held.
The next second, she was taken away from here.
When we exited the hall, the side entrance was so quiet compared to the noisy hall that we could hear the wind blowing the leaves.
Jiang Chuning tugged at his sleeves: "Where are we going?"
Jiang Shanghan stopped and turned to look at her: "I will accompany you wherever you want to go."
Jiang Chuning whispered: "I want to go back to find my father."
Jiang Shanghan said: "He doesn't have time to see you now."
"I know, but I..."
"Ning Ning."
Jiang Shanghan said slowly, "You don't need to take what Jiang Yunzhu said seriously or take it to heart."
Jiang Chuning nodded lightly: "Second uncle...he obviously came here with bad intentions this time. He even told me...said..."
Jiang Shanghan said: "What did you say?"
Jiang Chuning lowered his head: "He said that as long as I leave Jiangzhou, the next time I come back I will attend my father's funeral."
As she spoke, her voice was choked uncontrollably.
Jiang Shanghan pulled her into his arms, patted her back and said nothing.
After a while, Jiang Chuning calmed down a little, and then said: "My father, he will be fine..."
The tone was full of caution.
After a long while, Jiang Shanghan said: "No."
He let go of Jiang Chuning, took her hand again, and strode out.
Outside the side door, there was a car parked.
Jiang Shanghan opened the back seat door, let her sit in, wiped the tears on her face, and whispered: "Ning Ning, leave here first. I will pick you up after a while."
"No, I..."
Before she finished speaking, the car door was closed.
Jiang Chuning slammed the door hard and cried: "I don't want to leave, you have abandoned me again, I want to find my father..."
Just when Jiang Chuning was crying heartbreakingly and despairing, a faint male voice came from the side: "Shut up."
Jiang Chuning was stunned, turned his head and looked at the man sitting next to him. He stopped crying and was twitching.
Zhou Cishen glanced at her: "My daughter is not as noisy as you."
Jiang Chuning pursed his lips, feeling aggrieved: "But my father..."
Zhou Cishen raised his wrist, looked at the time, and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Chuning thought for a while and suddenly saw a glimmer of hope. She grabbed Zhou Cishen's arm and said, "Did Jiang Shanghan ask you to pick me up? If so, you should have already planned it. My father must have
It’ll be okay!”
Zhou Cishen calmly turned his head: "Don't have such high expectations of me, I am only responsible for taking you to Nancheng."
"But..." Jiang Chuning frowned and made a small request, "I want to see my dad again, just for once. Please, I know you can find a way!"
Zhou Cishen was unmoved.
Jiang Chuning finally used his trump card: "Uncle?
You are my uncle!"
Zhou Cishen: "..."
Jiang Chuning continued: "I will never speak ill of you in front of my sister in the future. I will praise you every day, three times a day!"
Zhou Cishen said: "It seems that you said a lot of bad things about me."
Jiang Chuning was speechless for a moment, he didn't expect to be exposed like this.
Just as she was about to speak again, Zhou Cishen said, "You talk so much, don't Jiang Shanghan find you annoying?"
Jiang Chuning sat back frustrated. Sure enough, she expected no one but Zhou Cishen.
Just when she was disappointed, Zhou Cishen had already opened the car door and stood outside the car: "Why are you still sitting there, waiting for me to invite you?"
When Jiang Chuning heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly got out of the car.
But she and Zhou Cishen had only taken a few steps when a gunshot came from inside and pierced the night sky.
Jiang Chuning paused, quickly picked up her skirt and ran over.
Zhou Cishen frowned slightly, turned around and glanced at Lin Nan, who immediately understood and followed Jiang Chuning quickly.
Jiang Chuning ran to the garden in one breath. The guests had already finished leaving. Only the cold white lights were shining on the ground, and there was no longer any bustle in the daytime.
While Jiang Chuning breathed, there was a chilly evening breeze.
