Chapter 336: Chapter 336: A Lineage Passed Down
What does Old Sir Jiang severing ties with Jiang Mingzhu have to do with Jiang Xue? Now, the Old Madam Jiang is actually blaming Jiang Xue for it, how is that possible?
Jiang Xue hasn’t said or done anything. Clearly, it was Old Sir Jiang who acted on his own, and now Jiang Xue is expected to take the blame, how is that fair?
Before, they thought that the two elders of the Jiang Family were different from Jiang Mingzhu, but now it seems they are truly cut from the same cloth.
They had overestimated the two elders of the Jiang Family before.
Indeed, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beams will be crooked. If the two elders of the Jiang Family were good, how could Jiang Mingzhu have turned out that way?
So, without waiting for Jiang Xue to speak, the father and mother of Jiang spoke out immediately, unable to bear it any longer, and said, "Old Sir, Old Madam of the in-laws, what you’re saying is wrong. It’s you who want to sever ties with Jiang Mingzhu, what does it have to do with Xue’er? She hasn’t said or done anything. You can’t pin this on her."
"In the future, she still has to live a life, doesn’t she? If it goes as you say, how will others view her when she goes out, and how will they interact with her?"
"People wouldn’t say, would they, that Xue’er is too narrow-minded to tolerate even a sister? The Jiang Family hadn’t even returned yet, and they already had the Sir sever ties with another granddaughter?"
"Is this a good thing for Xue’er? You’re still Xue’er’s kin, how can you let her bear the name of being unable to tolerate her sister?"
Seeing her parents wholeheartedly defending her, Jiang Xue felt much more at ease. Indeed, her Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were the ones who truly cared for her. Unlike Old Sir Jiang and Old Madam Jiang, who claimed to care for her but whose actions were based on self-interest.
She wasn’t a fool; even if she couldn’t be one hundred percent certain, she could guess eight or nine out of ten of the real reasons why Old Sir Jiang issued a statement to sever ties with Jiang Mingzhu.
So, she certainly didn’t dare bear this accusation; Old Sir Jiang severing ties with Jiang Mingzhu had nothing to do with her at all.
Fortunately, from the start, she didn’t have much hope for Old Sir Jiang and the others. Later, Mu Qiancheng also informed her of the findings, letting her know that the Jiang Family wasn’t as it appeared on the outside, so she never had the thought of returning to the Jiang Family.
After all, her biological parents were already gone, and although Old Sir Jiang and Old Madam Jiang were her kin, she really didn’t regard people who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong and were only concerned with maintaining the Jiang Family’s reputation, even if it meant the death of their son and daughter-in-law, in high regard.
The words from Father Jiang and Mother Jiang left Old Sir Jiang and Old Madam Jiang unable to respond.
After a long while, Old Sir Jiang finally looked at Jiang Xue, who hadn’t spoken all along, and said, "Little Xue, it was Grandpa who misspoke. However, no matter what, you’re still a child of our Jiang Family, so recognizing your ancestry is necessary. Do find some time to come back to South City with us, and I’ll introduce you to the people in the circle."
"Once you enter our circle, your future career can be more prosperous."
At this point, Old Sir Jiang no longer wanted to take things slowly, and directly brought up the matter of having Jiang Xue recognize her ancestry.
Now, Jiang Mingzhu’s reputation was already in ruins. Although he made a timely statement severing ties with Jiang Mingzhu, the reputation of the Jiang Family was still stained by her.
So now, he urgently needed Jiang Xue’s return to restore the Jiang Family’s reputation. With Jiang Xue’s current achievements, as long as she returned to the Jiang Family, it would surely bring benefits to the Jiang Family.
