Chapter 273 Jiang Youli: A Chapter Within a Chapter
Faced with Qin Yulian's righteous indignation, Jiang Yehan said, "Qin Yulian, what face do you have to criticize me? If your family hadn't been causing trouble at home every day because of your adopted daughter Jiang Yonghe, would Dad have been so agitated?"
"Dad, don't argue with Ms. Qin Yulian. She's stupid and you can't reason with her." Jiang Youli calmly advised her handsome father, then turned to Qin Yulian with a half-smile and said, "Don't worry, Ms. Qin Yulian, Dad and I won't provoke my grandfather. We'll just try our best to make you all angry."
What do you mean she's stupid?! Qin Yulian was about to say something when Jiang Zhao quickly said, "Alright, Mom, can you say less?"
Hearing her second son's impatient tone, Qin Yulian stopped talking to avoid making things difficult for him. However, seeing her own daughter like this, she couldn't help but feel angry, so she simply walked away to avoid seeing her.
Jiang Zhao looked at Jiang Youli with a bitter smile and said, "Xiao Li, that's just my mom's personality, don't take it to heart."
Jiang Youli said, "Aren't you and your mother the same type? Jiang Xing is like his father, and you are like your mother. You are definitely related by blood."
Jiang Zhao: "..."
He didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of Jiang Youli any longer, so he smiled wryly and went to the waiting area with his mother, Qin Yulian.
Jiang Yangxu patted his eldest son Jiang Xing on the shoulder and said earnestly, "If you have anything to say, wait until your grandfather comes back. Let's not go to her now and make a fool of ourselves."
“I understand.” Jiang Xing withdrew his gaze and followed his father, Jiang Yangxu, toward Qin Yulian and Jiang Zhao.
"Is this all there is to it? Dad still wants us to reconcile? Is that even possible?" Seeing this, Jiang Yehan was speechless and even wanted to laugh.
Zhang Susu sighed, "Ahan, Qin Yulian is right. Dad's health is indeed deteriorating and he can't take any stimulation. Tonight, let's try not to say anything that might upset him."
"Of course I don't want to upset Dad, but should we make Youli suffer because of this?" Jiang Yehan sighed helplessly.
Jiang Youli smiled and said, "Dad, I am now the head of the Jiang family, so you don't need to worry too much about me compromising myself. As long as Grandpa's requests tonight are not too unreasonable, I will try my best to fulfill his wishes before he passes away peacefully."
Jiang Yehan said, "Let's see."
Twenty minutes later, the airport exit was crowded with people, and Old Master Jiang and his butler slowly walked out among a group of passengers.
Jiang Yangxu, with his sharp eyes, spotted his father immediately. He quickly pulled his wife and son forward, beaming as he called out, "Dad!"
"Grandpa," Jiang Xing and Jiang Zhao obediently called out as well.
Grandpa Jiang looked at his second son, Jiang Yangxu, who seemed much older than when he last saw him, with deeper wrinkles on his face.
It seems that the second son hasn't been doing well since being kicked out of the Jiang family.
Old Master Jiang couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at Jiang Yangxu's eldest grandson, Jiang Xing, standing next to him, and hearing from Jiang Zhao that the child was living a life worse than death every day, Jiang Xing did indeed look somewhat listless at the moment, and the old man sighed again.
However, he did not show much emotion in front of Jiang Yangxu's family, but silently walked up to the eldest brother Jiang Yehan's family.
"Dad," Jiang Yehan and Zhang Susu said in unison.
Grandpa Jiang smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to his granddaughter, Jiang Youli. He carefully observed Jiang Youli's expression, wanting to see how she would react to the arrival of Jiang Yangxu's family.
Jiang Youli noticed her grandfather's gaze, smiled slightly, and sweetly called out, "Grandpa."
Seeing Jiang Youli's smile, Grandpa Jiang finally felt relieved—his granddaughter didn't seem to show any obvious rejection or disgust towards Jiang Yangxu's family, which made him very gratified.
"Good children, I am really happy to see you all come to pick me up today," Grandpa Jiang said with emotion.
“Dad, I’m not…” Jiang Yehan was about to say that he was not happy, but Zhang Susu tugged at his sleeve and shook her head, signaling him not to say anything.
After all, Qin Yulian was right; the old man's health wasn't very good, and she didn't want to upset him.
For the sake of his wife, Jiang Yehan held back.
"Alright, let's go back first." Grandpa Jiang rubbed his temples. "My body is getting older and can't take any more strain. After taking a flight back, my head is spinning but I can't sleep. Youli, I'll have to trouble you to give me acupuncture to soothe it in the car later."
“No problem, Grandpa,” Jiang Youli said.
After leaving the airport and waiting for Grandpa Jiang to get into Jiang Yehan's seven-seater car and leave, Jiang Zhao turned to his mother Qin Yulian and solemnly said, "Dad, Mom, Grandpa came back this time specifically to detoxify my eldest brother's body, so I hope that you will not upset my sister again tonight. This may be my eldest brother's last chance to detoxify."
Qin Yulian quickly said, "Zhao'er, look at what you're saying. Do you think your father and I are the kind of people who can't distinguish between what's important and what's urgent?" She then assured her eldest son, Jiang Xing, "Xing'er, don't worry, I definitely won't upset your grandfather and your sister tonight."
Jiang Xing nodded. "Mm."
Qin Yulian said impatiently, "Let's go, let's hurry back to the Jiang family. Maybe tonight your grandfather will soften his heart and decide to let us move back to the villa in the West District."
……
To make it easier to administer acupuncture to the old man, Jiang Yehan and Zhang Susu sat in the last row, while Jiang Youli sat in the second row with the old man.
After getting into the car and waiting for Grandpa Jiang to settle in, Jiang Youli took out her acupuncture kit and said, "Grandpa, let me give you acupuncture first to help you relax."
"Good granddaughter." Old Master Jiang closed his eyes.
Jiang Youli pulled out a silver needle and inserted it into the depression located on the side of the old man's head, one finger's width behind the middle of his eyebrow and outer corner of his eye.
Soon, the dizziness subsided, and he inquired about the company's recent situation: "Youli, how are you feeling about taking over Starlight Entertainment recently? What are your future plans?"
Jiang Youli smiled and said, "Everything is progressing smoothly so far. If nothing unexpected happens, I plan to acquire Dafeng Entertainment first, and I am currently working towards that goal."
Grandpa Jiang was somewhat surprised. "Acquire Dafeng Entertainment? Are you serious? Dafeng Entertainment is a long-established entertainment company in Beijing. Although its market share has been eroded in recent years, its status is still there. It's not something that can be taken over in a short time."
Jiang Youli said, "Grandpa, you handed over the Jiang family business to me with the aim of making the Jiang family bigger and stronger. Why are you so surprised when I said I wanted to acquire Dafeng Entertainment? If you don't even have this ambition, how can you make the family bigger and stronger?"
Old Master Jiang was speechless for a long while before he said with shame, "...You're right. If we don't even dare to think about these things, how can we grow bigger and stronger? I am indeed getting old, and there are some things I dare not think about or dare not strive for. Therefore, the future of the Jiang family depends on young people like you to continue to work hard."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Youli said meaningfully, "Grandpa, since you've handed over the Jiang family business to me, you should just focus on recuperating and resting. Try not to get involved in things if you can avoid it."
Grandpa Jiang understood the unspoken meaning in his granddaughter's words, sighed slightly, and said, "Youli, it seems that you are still somewhat angry about my decision to have your second uncle and aunt's family come back to the Jiang family for dinner this time."
