Chapter 298 Jiang Xing is ostracized in Jianshan Village
On the other end of the phone, Uncle Zhou said, "He's come all the way to Jianshan Village."
Jiang Youli: "..."
What's wrong with Jiang Xing? He actually went to Jianshan Village?!
“Your Uncle Qin and Aunt Meng and I have been busy lately, and we didn’t notice the new stranger in the village at first. Jiang Xing didn’t say who he was either, and he just settled in the village. I only found out about him just now.”
"I don't know what's going on with him, but I sent you a video, take a look."
Jiang Youli nodded, "Okay."
Jiang Youli put her phone on the desk with the speaker on, picked up the mouse, opened WeChat on her computer, and watched the video that Uncle Zhou had sent her.
The video is one minute long.
In the video, Jiang Xing stands outside the small house where Jiang Youli once lived, his gaze falling on the withered herb hanging by the door. He slowly extends his finger and gently strokes the herb, as if recalling something.
Uncle Zhou's voice continued from the phone: "Li girl, have you finished watching the video? What exactly is Jiang Xing up to here? Is he just being sentimental?"
Jiang Youli looked at Jiang Xing in the video, her heart filled with doubt.
She couldn't understand why Jiang Xing would appear here at this time and do such a thing.
Uncle Zhou continued, "How do you plan to handle this? How about I just get the whole village together and drive him away?"
Jiang Youli replied, "Uncle Zhou, there's no need for that. I'll have his family come and take him away."
Uncle Zhou said, "Good, so we won't feel disgusted when we see his pretentious act."
Uncle Zhou sneered, "Didn't he refuse to come pick you up before? Now look at him, coming to the village to put on a show. Who is he putting on this for?"
After he finished complaining, he said, "Alright, Li girl, I won't bother you anymore."
"Okay, Uncle Zhou, you can go ahead and get back to work."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Youli rubbed her temples.
It seems Jiang Xing has quite a lot of free time now that he's no longer in charge of Starlight Entertainment!
Half an hour later——
Jiang Zhao arrived at Starlight Entertainment, travel-worn and exhausted.
He glanced at his mother, Qin Yulian, who was still asleep in the waiting room, but instead of going in to wake her up immediately, he went to Jiang Youli's office first.
He knocked on the door and then pushed it open.
"Xiao Li, I'm here."
Jiang Youli raised her eyes and said coldly, "Your mother is in the waiting room next door. She'll probably wake up soon."
At this point, she became somewhat impatient, "Did you know that Jiang Xing went to Jianshan Village?"
Jiang Zhao was taken aback, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he did not answer.
Seeing his reaction, it was clear he knew, and Jiang Youli became even more annoyed. "What does Jiang Xing want to do? What, is it that you've been cured of the poison, but you still harbor resentment towards me, yet you can't do anything about it, so you're planning to take revenge on the people in the village?"
Fearing that his elder brother would be misunderstood, Jiang Zhao quickly explained, "No, Xiao Li... my brother didn't mean any harm. He just had some new insights after being cured of the poison and wanted to go to the place where you used to live to experience it."
"Feeling like I used to live my life?" Jiang Youli said as if she had heard a joke. "A self-pity about surviving a disaster? There's no need for that, it will only annoy me."
Jiang Zhao quickly said, "Xiao Li, don't worry, your brother never intended to hurt anyone in the village."
“Jiang Xing doesn’t have the ability to hurt them either,” Jiang Youli said sarcastically. “Alright, your mother has come to me about this. Tell her right now that Jiang Xing is in Jianshan Village. If she bothers me again, I won’t just make her faint.”
Jiang Zhao lowered his eyes, "...Okay."
He left the office and walked back to the waiting room, where his mother, Qin Yulian, had just woken up.
Upon seeing her son Jiang Zhao, Qin Yulian shook her head, realizing that she had fallen for Jiang Youli's trick, and complained, "Zhao'er, your sister is so hateful! She pricked me with needles again!"
"Enough, Mom! My brother is missing, what do you mean by coming to find Xiao Li? Do you suspect Xiao Li did it?!" Jiang Zhao angrily questioned.
Qin Yulian said aggrievedly, "Isn't that right? You said you don't know where your older brother is, so who else can I ask? Of course, the best person to ask is your sister!"
"My brother went to Jianshan Village! He was afraid you wouldn't agree, so he specifically told me not to tell you and Dad! Now that you understand, hurry up and leave! Don't bother Xiaoli again!" Jiang Zhao didn't go forward to help Qin Yulian, and angrily strode away.
Upon learning of her son's whereabouts, Qin Yulian stopped her unreasonable demands and immediately left Starlight Entertainment with her son, Jiang Zhao.
Once in the car, Qin Yulian couldn't understand:
"Why would your older brother go to such a poor and remote place as Jianshan Village? Is he all alone? Who knows if there's any danger in the village..."
Jiang Zhao didn't want to pay any attention to her, but she still couldn't stand her nagging: "Mom, my brother and I are both grown up. We know what we're doing. Can you please stop interfering?"
Qin Yulian immediately became aggrieved again, "If I weren't your mother, you could do whatever you want. I'm just worried about your older brother. He's a young master, and if he runs to the village and gets bullied, he'll be left with no one to turn to!"
Jiang Zhao simply put on Bluetooth headphones and turned up the music volume until it completely drowned out his mother Qin Yulian's voice.
After sending his mother back, Jiang Zhao took out his phone and sent a text message to his older brother, Jiang Xing.
[Mom went to Starlight Entertainment to find Xiaoli today, and found out you went to Jianshan Village.]
……
Jianshan Village.
This place is quiet and remote, as if isolated from the outside world.
Jiang Xing was standing in front of a simple mud house when her phone suddenly vibrated.
He took out his phone, and a text message from Jiang Zhao was displayed on the screen.
Upon seeing the contents of the text message, Jiang Xing's eyes darkened slightly.
Just then, Jiang Xing heard footsteps coming from the path behind him. He turned around and recognized the middle-aged man walking towards him as Chairman Zhou Wang, who had appeared at his sister Jiang Youli's engagement party with Qi Huan.
“Chairman Zhou…” Jiang Xing said with surprise and respect.
Zhou Wang's expression was unfriendly, and his tone revealed obvious rejection: "Jiang Xing, right? What exactly are you up to by coming here?"
Jiang Xing quickly explained, "No, Mr. Zhou, you misunderstood. I just wanted to see where Xiao Li lives. I've always felt very guilty that I couldn't come and pick her up to return to the Jiang family in person."
Zhou Wang sneered and retorted mercilessly, "If you hadn't been kicked out of the Jiang family, what guilt would you have to feel!"
Zhou Wang's words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Jiang Xing's heart. Jiang Xing was immediately speechless; he couldn't refute Zhou Wang's words, because they were indeed true.
"Stop polluting our eyes here, honestly! If you want to repent, go learn from those people and climb up to the temple to repent, kneeling one step at a time." Zhou Wang finished his merciless mockery, then shouldered his hoe and left.
Soon, the other villagers who were passing by also learned about Jiang Xing's identity.
"So he's Li Ya's own brother! He wouldn't have come to take Li Ya back back then!"
"It's so funny, as if our daughter is so eager to be recognized as a relative by their family."
"What are you doing here now? Are you trying to curry favor with us and get us to say good things about him?"
"Dream on!"
