Jiang Nuan turned to look. It was Jiang Muyan and an older man.
He looked a bit like her grandfather.
"Nuan Nuan, I didn't expect you to be in Modu. Did Grandfather ask you to come back?" Jiang Muyan spoke kindly, looking at Jiang Nuan with a show of sisterly affection.
Jiang Nuan vaguely sensed Jiang Muyan's dislike for her. She said, "No, I have some business here."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Muyan instantly relaxed. As long as she wasn't back to inherit the family business, she was relieved.
"Oh, Nuan Nuan, this is my grandfather, and also your second grandfather," Jiang Muyan introduced.
Jiang Nuan looked at Jiang Beihuai.
Jiang Beihuai also looked at her with excitement. "Nuan Nuan, you must have suffered a lot outside all these years. Your eldest brother is truly something, finding you and not bringing you home, letting you live outside. You must have had a hard time."
These words were not wrong, but upon closer listening, they held a different meaning. Finding them and not bringing them home was clearly an attempt to sow discord, suggesting her grandfather didn't consider her part of the family.
Jiang Nuan first called out "Second Grandfather" before saying, "Grandfather, my child attends school in Jinshi, and my work is also in Jinshi, so I haven't returned for now. Grandfather will return to Jinshi to live with us."
Her grandfather had told her that Second Grandfather and Grandmother had always wanted to seize his assets, and both siblings harbored ill intentions. It seemed her grandfather's heart was filled with bitterness, being schemed against by his closest relatives. Who wouldn't feel heartbroken!
"Ah! Then what about the business in Modu?" a golden glint flashed in Jiang Beihuai's eyes.
If Eldest Brother was returning to settle in Jinshi, then with no one to manage the Modu business, wouldn't it fall to his son?
What a good opportunity! This little girl in front of him was so frail; she couldn't possibly contend with him.
However, Jiang Nuan's next words made Jiang Beihuai's expression extremely unpleasant.
"Grandfather, I'm already managing the company. Moving forward, I will be cooperating with this Third Young Master Rong," Jiang Nuan glanced at Rong Yin.
Rong Yin was utterly bewildered. Was something wrong?
Where did Jiang Nuan get a grandfather from?
And managing a company?
"What?" Jiang Muyan exclaimed in shock. "How is that possible? Jiang Nuan, I've been with Grandfather for so long, and he didn't give the company to me, why did he give it to you? Look in the mirror, do you think you're worthy?" Jiang Muyan was on the verge of collapse; her dreams had completely shattered.
"Jiang Nuan, I've accompanied Grandfather for so many years. His company is mine, and all his inheritance is mine. Don't even think about taking a single cent. If you dare to inherit Grandfather's company, I will kill you!" Jiang Muyan cried in anger. She had gone back to find her grandfather to deal with Jiang Nuan, intending to teach Jiang Nuan a lesson. Instead of teaching Jiang Nuan a lesson, she had sent herself to hell.
Seeing her expose her ugly nature, Jiang Nuan's expression grew colder.
So, she had been scheming for her grandfather's assets all along. No wonder her grandfather had asked her to sign over all the real estate and company shares.
"Yan Yan, what nonsense are you spouting? Hurry up and apologize to your sister!" Jiang Beihuai looked at his impulsive granddaughter with a displeased expression. How could she voice her ambitions so openly?
If they angered Eldest Brother, their family would be finished.
"An apology is not necessary. My grandfather knows your wolfish intentions, which is why he didn't bring me back. All the companies are now under my name. You don't need to rack your brains trying to get anything from my grandfather."
"Instead, he has given you what he should have over the years. My grandfather has heirs; he has sons, grandsons, and granddaughters. By no means will it ever be your turn to inherit." Jiang Nuan's tone was sharp. Her slender, straight figure exuded an aura of absolute dominance in the night.
This instantly stunned Jiang Beihuai and Jiang Muyan.
Jiang Muyan was in tears, looking at Jiang Nuan. At this moment, although Jiang Nuan appeared frail, she gave Jiang Muyan a feeling that even a catastrophic mountain collapse couldn't shake her.
"Jiang Nuan..."
"Alright, Yan Yan, don't disturb your sister anymore. He has matters to discuss with Third Young Master now."
Jiang Beihuai looked at Rong Yin. He remembered that Rong Yin, the Crown Prince of Modu, was someone he dared not offend.
They could discuss their family matters slowly later.
However, offending Rong Yin would cut off many of their family's collaborations.
Jiang Muyan was unwilling. She glared at Jiang Nuan with intense resentment, her jealous gaze wishing it could transform into knives to stab Jiang Nuan to death.
Jiang Nuan felt her intense hatred and her gaze flickered. She said, "Second Grandfather, take care. Don't wait until you lose something to cherish it!" This was a warning!
The old man narrowed his calculating eyes but remained silent.
Jiang Nuan glanced at Rong Yin, and the two walked forward.
"Grandfather." Looking at Jiang Nuan's retreating back, Jiang Muyan stomped her foot in unwillingness. "We've been planning for so many years, and it still benefited that lost son and granddaughter. Grandfather, what should we do?"
Some things, once deemed one's own from the beginning, are suddenly snatched away by others. It feels as if a piece of flesh has been cut from one's own body, causing heart-wrenching pain.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Jiang Beihuai's expression suddenly changed. "Slap..."
He fiercely slapped Jiang Muyan across the face.
"You little brat, how could you not know such an important matter? Now it's all over. Your Eldest Grandfather was already wary of us, and now he's given everything to Jiang Nuan. We will have to rely on your Eldest Grandfather's charity to live."
"And you, you brainless thing, why did you say those things just now? Building a good relationship with Jiang Nuan would only benefit you, not harm you."
"After all, we are family. As long as your Eldest Grandfather doesn't see through our ambitions, our family can enjoy wealth and honor. Once we anger him, our entire family will only be able to eat the wind."
"How could you be so stupid to expose your ambitions so nakedly to Jiang Nuan? How will you face her now?"
The elder, being experienced, understood many principles.
They were brothers by blood, why sow such discord.
He understood these principles too.
However, the temptation of power and wealth was too great, easily making one lose their reason.
It was like a wolf tasting meat; just the thought of it would make its mouth water, let alone human ambition.
"Find an opportunity to apologize to Jiang Nuan." After saying this, the elder got into the car that had come to pick him up.
"Wuwuwu..." Jiang Muyan squatted on the roadside and burst into tears. Jiang Beihuai did not pay her any mind and instructed the driver to proceed.
Rong Yin connected the dots in his mind and then asked, "Nuan Nuan, what did you mean by what you just said? What's the deal with your grandfather?"
An unbelievable thought entered his mind.
No, no, this was too absurd. It couldn't be like this.
Jiang Nuan glanced at him. Seeing his curious expression, she actually didn't know how to explain. She also found it incredible that such a thing could happen to her.
Rong Yin was also investigating this matter. She did not hide anything from Rong Yin and told him about finding her grandfather.
Rong Yin was dumbfounded after listening.
Indeed, flowers bloom and fall; life is unpredictable.
This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
Could Lu Chengsi not be the biological son of the Lu family?
Oh my god!
This was too unbelievable!
