The Jiang family's family gathering every six months is, in fact, a gathering of the entire Jiang family to go through a set process.
Ancestor worship is the main and indispensable important matter.
Nowadays, the younger generations of the Jiang family no longer like these red tapes. The older generation still respects the ancestral precepts. Every detail cannot be careless and must be done carefully.
Therefore, the Jiang family's gatherings were never entertainment-oriented, and outsiders were absolutely not allowed to enter.
After Zhou Cishen left, Jiang Yuan wiped his sweat and quickly called Jiang Shanghan.
He said: "Zhou Cishen came to see me."
Jiang Shanghan's tone was calm: "What did he ask you?"
Jiang Yuan coughed: "Just...ask about the child's situation and some less important things."
"anything else."
"He asked me to take him to Jiang's house next Sunday."
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Shanghan said nothing, and Jiang Yuan could only hear his steady breathing.
Jiang Yuan tentatively spoke: "How about I go out for shelter? As long as I'm not in Jiangzhou, he can't do anything to me."
Jiang Shanghan said: "No, even without you, he must have a way to enter the Jiang family."
"Yes, if I leave, who will handle this mess?"
"I will explain it later, and you can just take him directly into Jiang's house when the time comes."
Jiang Yuan was silent: "Are you... planning to tell him?"
Jiang Shanghan said: "I just act according to the rules.
As for the rest, it has nothing to do with me."
Jiang Yuan: "..."
Gao, the number one master of blame-shifting.
This is to the extent that Mr. Jiang would be praised as long as he was alive.
Soon, Jiang Shanghan's voice came again: "The news that you left Jiangzhou has reached some people's ears. Don't cause trouble these days. Stay in the laboratory and don't come out. We will wait until the day of ancestor worship."
"I know, I'll go back now."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuan took a quick shower and returned to the laboratory.
…
In the hotel, Ruan Xingwan called Ruan Chen and didn't hide anything from him. She just said that the little guy was sick and she and Zhou Cishen took him to see a doctor.
But she did not tell the specific situation, only that the return date was uncertain.
Ruan Chen knew that she didn't want to say too much, so he didn't ask further.
Ruan Xingwan put down the phone, looked out the window, and took a breath.
At this time, the doorbell rang.
She thought it was the hotel staff who brought dinner.
Ruan Xingwan got up and opened the door, only to see several strange men standing outside.
The leader said: "Please come with us."
Ruan Xingwan stepped back, holding the door handle: "Who are you?"
The man said: "You don't need to know."
Just when they were about to step forward, Ruan Xingwan took out his cell phone: "I'll call the police if you come here again."
"Calling the police will do you no good."
"It doesn't seem to be a pleasant thing for you either."
Just when the other party was about to force himself, the hotel manager received the message and came over: "Guys, what happened? If you have any questions, you can tell me directly."
The man said: "Our master would like to invite this lady to our house as a guest."
Ruan Xingwan's face was expressionless: "I don't know you, and I don't know your master, so why should I go."
The manager probably recognized the man's identity and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "It's all a misunderstanding..."
The man interrupted him and looked at Ruan Xingwan: "A few days ago, Mr. Zhou took our young lady away and she stayed away all night. Isn't this also a misunderstanding?"
Ruan Xingwan was stunned when he heard this. A few days ago, when?
The man continued: "Don't worry, our master just wants to ask you a few words, and he will send you back after asking."
Ruan Xingwan retracted his thoughts: "I'll say it again, I don't know your master, so I won't go.
Also, if Zhou Cishen takes away your young lady, why are you looking for Zhou Cishen to do with me?
Or do you think I'm easy to bully?
Do you want to put this responsibility on me?"
The man probably didn't expect her to answer like this, so he frowned.
The hotel manager also said: "Ah... yes, why don't we wait until Mr. Zhou comes back?
Maybe there really is a misunderstanding?"
The man glanced at him and he immediately fell silent.
Jiang Jingyao is also a well-known figure in the Jiang family. Unlike Jiang Shanghan, he often appears in media cameras. This can be seen from the fact that Jiang Chuning invited so many media to hold a birthday party.
Therefore, whoever is doing business in Jiangzhou has never seen the confidants around Jiang Jingyao.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Zhou Cishen came back.
He walked up to Ruan Xingwan, stopped, and said in a cold voice, "What happened?"
The hotel manager was the first to explain: "It probably has something to do with Miss Jiang."
Zhou Cishen looked at the leading man: "Tell the person who asked you to come that I will come to the door in person in a few days.
Whether he wants to know the purpose of my coming to Jiangzhou or wants to settle a score with me, I will accompany him."
The man hesitated and did not move for a while.
Zhou Cishen said: "Why don't you leave yet and wait for me to see you off?"
As soon as these words came out, several people left quickly.
When the hotel manager saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slightly to them, and followed them away.
Ruan Xingwan took back his hand on the doorknob and returned to the living room.
Zhou Cishen took off his coat, threw it on the sofa, unbuttoned the collar of his shirt with one hand, and whispered: "Have you eaten yet?"
"have eaten."
"What to eat?"
"Full of anger."
Zhou Cishen: "..."
He sat on the coffee table, looking at his two long legs resting casually, and looked at the people in front of him: "People from the Jiang family, don't pay attention to them."
Ruan Xingwan said calmly: "I don't care."
Zhou Cishen raised his eyebrows: "Then why are you unhappy?"
Ruan Xingwan was silent and then took a deep breath: "There is a question that I still can't figure out."
"Um?"
"Why, every time you go out and provoke other women, I am the unlucky one?
Is this reasonable?"
Zhou Cishen: "?"
Ruan Xingwan didn't want to pay attention to him, so he picked up his phone and prepared to order barbecue.
Zhou Cishen took her mobile phone and explained: "The Miss Jiang they were talking about has nothing to do with me. I just happened to meet her when I was looking for Jiang Shanghan, and she insisted on following me.
At that time, you were at Jiang Shanghan's place again, so I took her with me."
Ruan Xingwan said "Oh": "She insists on following you, so that means Mr. Zhou's charm is still the same as before, and he can charm a lot of little girls wherever he goes."
Zhou Cishen chuckled: "You just know?"
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
Dog man, get away.
She snatched the phone back and continued lighting the barbecue.
Zhou Cishen saw this and said, "Don't order anything else?"
Ruan Xingwan ignored him.
Zhou Cishen continued: "Don't you like hot and sour noodles? Order one, don't be jealous."
After a pause, he added: "Because you are already eating."
