Chapter 268 Even our relationship isn't reliable?
Upon hearing her grandfather's words, Jiang Youli's smile vanished, and she fell silent.
Zhang Susu and Jiang Yehan, who were sitting next to Jiang Youli, noticed the change in Jiang Youli's expression. They looked at each other and silently drank the soup in their bowls.
After a long while, Jiang Youli finally said, "Grandpa, are you planning to bring their family back to the Jiang family?"
A flicker of surprise flashed across Zhang Susu's eyes.
[Their family]? Which other family could it be?
Of course, it's Jiang Yangxu's family.
Youli must have heard something from the old man before asking this question; otherwise, she wouldn't have asked it.
What did the old man say?
Jiang Yehan also seemed to be deep in thought. His family had finally managed to get some peace and quiet, and he hoped that nothing else would go wrong.
“Youli, don’t overthink it. I don’t intend for your second uncle and the others to return to the Jiang family. It’s just that your second uncle is my own son, and Jiang Xing and Jiang Zhao are both my own grandsons. I’m an old man and I don’t have many days left, so I still hope that the family can have a meal together more often in the future,” Grandpa Jiang explained.
Judging from Grandpa's words, he was willing to let me forgive Jiang Yangxu's family.
At least on the surface, that's how it should appear.
Jiang Youli didn't say anything more, "I understand, Grandpa."
Grandpa Jiang said, "Alright, you and your parents eat first, I won't bother you anymore."
Jiang Youli said, "Okay, Grandpa, send me the flight information and I'll come pick you up."
Seeing that Jiang Youli had hung up the phone, Zhang Susu asked with a complicated expression, "Youli, what did your grandfather say to you just now?"
Jiang Youli put down her phone and said calmly, "Grandpa is going back to China in a couple of days and plans to have Jiang Yangxu's family come back to the Jiang family home for a meal."
really.
It's called having a meal, but it's definitely not just a simple meal.
Given what happened before, can their two families still have a proper meal together?
The old man clearly wanted their family to forgive Jiang Yangxu's family.
Zhang Susu looked at Youli and asked with concern, "Youli, what do you think? If you don't want to eat with their family, then go to the Qi family and find Qi Huan that day. Your father and I can handle things at home."
Zhang Susu could actually understand Grandpa Jiang's thoughts.
No matter what wrong the Jiang family did, they are still the old man's blood relatives. Expelling them from the Jiang family and no longer entrusting them with the management of the company is already a severe punishment.
It's impossible for the old man to completely sever ties with Jiang Yangxu's family.
Now that some time has passed, the old man is probably thinking that it would be best to repair the relationship between the two families.
But making up isn't that simple.
Not to mention that Youli has been hurt by Jiang Xing and Jiang Zhao one after another, she probably will never be able to forgive Jiang Yangxu for the fact that he had her kidnapped by the housekeeper.
Jiang Youli said, "Let's see."
Regardless of her grandfather's intentions, the shares of the Jiang family's two most important companies, Jiang's Medical and Starlight Entertainment, have already been transferred to her.
Only the benefits you actually receive are truly real.
Jiang Yehan also said, "Youli, you are our daughter. The only thing we can do for you is to make sure you don't agree to do things that put you in a difficult position. So if you really don't want to have dinner with Jiang Yangxu and his family, just stand them up. I don't think your grandfather will say anything. If he does say anything, then it's your grandfather's fault, and I will definitely argue with him to the end."
Jiang Youli smiled and said, "I know, Dad, Mom, you don't need to worry that I will wrong myself. Let's wait for Grandpa to come back and see what he plans to do."
Jiang Yehan didn't say anything more. Sometimes, Youli made them too at ease, which made them, as parents, feel sorry for her.
After all, how many storms must one have weathered to be able to remain so calm and composed, without causing any worry?
As the saying goes: children from poor families learn to be independent early.
Youli's current mental maturity is due to the fact that she did not receive protection from a young age and had to solve everything on her own.
What they could do for the child, Youli, was truly insignificant.
……
After finishing her meal, Jiang Youli tended to the herb garden as usual. She carefully checked the growth of each herb, watering and fertilizing them.
After finishing her work in the herb garden, Jiang Youli returned to her room, took a relaxing hot shower, and then dried her hair. She changed into loose pajamas, climbed into bed, picked up her phone, tapped on Qi Huan's profile picture, and made a video call.
Not long after, the other party answered the phone, and half of Qi Huan's body appeared on the screen.
Qi Huan must have just finished showering. She was wearing a soft bathrobe, and her hair was still a little damp, casually draped over her shoulders, looking somewhat fluffy and messy.
"Huanhuan, how's today? Any news about your brother?"
She had been treating Qi Huan these past few days and knew that Qi Huan was now paying close attention to and investigating everything related to his younger brother.
Sometimes, Qi Huan needs to go and confirm things in person.
Qi Huan smiled faintly, "Another fruitless effort."
Jiang Youli could see helplessness and disappointment in his smile.
In fact, she had also instructed Ye Ying to ask people in the organization to help investigate, but she didn't expect that even the talents in their organization couldn't find out the whereabouts of Qi Huan's younger brother.
So Jiang Youli said, "Huanhuan, I think you should ask your father, Qi Tianxiang."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "If he still refuses to admit it, you should harden your heart and use some methods. If you can't bring yourself to do it, let me torture Qi Tianxiang. At worst, I'll give him another poison pill."
Qi Huan laughed and said, "No need to waste your precious poison. Actually, I've already decided to have people search the whole country for another week. If they still can't find him, I'll do whatever it takes to get Qi Tianxiang to talk."
Because if his younger brother were still alive, he wouldn't be able to be sure how his brother is doing now.
If life is going well, then it's okay to find it a little later.
But if life is hard, then every day that goes on, his brother will suffer one more day.
"Alright, it's good that you've made up your mind." After Jiang Youli finished speaking, she told Qi Huan about her grandfather's phone call to her today. "Huanhuan, you think I was right, right? My grandfather wants me to forgive Jiang Yangxu's family."
Qi Huan hummed in agreement and continued, "From your grandfather's perspective, that should be the case."
Jiang Youli said unhappily, "If my grandfather really intends to do this, it makes me feel like I've been betrayed."
Qi Huan said seriously, "Don't worry about what your grandfather thinks, just continue to do what you want. Anyway, Jiang's Medical and Starlight Entertainment are now under your and your father's control, and all those so-called feelings are not worth mentioning."
Jiang Youli nodded and replied, "Yes, that's what I thought too. Luckily, you and my dad both offered to give me the company's shares back then. Otherwise, if I really made the company bigger and stronger, I might end up doing all the work for Jiang Yangxu and his family."
Qi Huan wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "Yes, the benefits in hand are the most real. After all, feelings are sometimes very fragile and can't withstand the test of time and reality."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Youli joked, "Oh? Huanhuan, if you say that, doesn't that mean you think our relationship is unreliable too?"
