Chapter 373 The Years I Was a Beggar 18
Yunyan took in her expression. The Jiang family is quite treacherous.
The old lady had received a satisfactory answer and decided to go back immediately.
"Thank you, little girl. I will reward you handsomely when I find my grandson."
Yunyan held her hand. The old lady thought that Yunyan wanted to be paid now, so she told the bodyguard next to her: "Pay a deposit to this little girl first!"
Yunyan shook her head.
"Old lady, I haven't finished my fortune telling yet! I just said I was telling you your fortune. This fortune telling for your grandson is from me."
The old lady was obviously a little surprised. What was there for a lonely old woman like her to calculate?
But seeing that Yunyan didn't seem to be joking, she simply stayed.
The girl was right. If she went back, she could only wait in the house.
Jiang Youning was obviously not happy about it, and she kept urging Old Lady Jiang.
"Grandma, we've wasted long enough here. If we don't go back, Grandpa will be worried!"
But the old lady was very stubborn.
"Why should he be so anxious? I see him every day. I don't want to go back now!"
Through Yunyan's few words just now, Old Mrs. Jiang actually felt a little disgusted with Old Mr. Jiang.
The old man was very handsome when he was young, but he also had a common problem among men, which is that he was fickle.
When she was young, she was very powerful and could suppress all the beauties out there.
Unexpectedly, the old man didn't cause any trouble for himself, but his son inherited his philandering nature perfectly.
It's even more excessive than what Grandpa Jiang did. The Jiang family's current illegitimate children are all the product of their eldest son's affairs outside.
Although Jiang Yan's mother was virtuous, she lacked a bit of cruelty in her character, and she allowed these illegitimate children to enter the house.
Although they are the most prominent family in Beijing to the outside world, they have long lost their former glory in the past two years and are already showing signs of being surpassed by other families.
This time, Jiang Yan's brother Jiang Huai died inexplicably in a car accident, and she had a bad feeling.
They used the strongest attitude to ask Jiang Yan, who had long since left the world, to come back and take over the Jiang family. Unexpectedly, these people were so courageous.
They actually dared to take action on the day Jiang Yan returned home.
Unfortunately, the old lady can only pray for her grandson's safety now. She knows that this matter was the work of those illegitimate children, and of course, the enemies' families were also targeted.
The worst case scenario is that these short-sighted illegitimate children join forces with outsiders to deal with the Jiang family. That would be a real disaster for the Jiang family.
The old lady's worry about her grandson faded away, her mind suddenly became much clearer, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Youning was as if her nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes.
She didn't realize that Jiang Youning was a pretentious person. He was usually very well-behaved and flattering in front of her.
She thought the child was somewhat sincere, but she didn't expect him to show such a look at the critical moment.
Old Mrs. Jiang's face suddenly darkened. She had been too old and confused before, and was quite fond of this illegitimate daughter. Now she really regretted it.
The hunter who had been hunting geese all day was pecked in the eye by a goose, and the old lady immediately got angry.
"Since you are so filial, then you should go and serve the old man!"
Jiang Youning was a little dumbfounded. Didn't she just say a few words? Why was grandma so angry?
Her grandmother had never spoken to her like this before. Although she was an illegitimate daughter, she knew how to please the old lady.
Over the years, I had slowly climbed back to health with the help of the old lady, but I never expected that the old lady would be so cruel and hostile.
Jiang Youning thought about his brother's plan and spoke patiently.
"Grandma, your granddaughter really cares about you! Don't let these outsiders sow discord between us. No matter how close these outsiders are, can they be as close as us?"
Old Mrs. Jiang is now very clear-headed. It is true that outsiders cannot be as close as family members, but outsiders will not plot against one's family members casually.
What's more, in a big family like theirs, real relatives can never compare to the supreme power.
Old Mrs. Jiang still had a sullen face.
"You dare to talk back to me now? Have you forgotten who pulled you out of that man-eating den?"
Jiang Youning looked unhappy, of course she would not forget it.
There are so many illegitimate children in the Jiang family, and she is the least noticeable one and is often bullied.
If she hadn't tried her best to get the old lady's attention at her birthday party, she and her brother might have been bullied to death by others.
But so what? The old lady was not a partial person, and she only thought about Jiang Huai and Jiang Yan, who were born to Jiang's mother.
She would give money to the Jiang family's illegitimate children, but not give them rights.
In the heart of this dead old woman, they will never be as good as the two sons born to his wife.
But since God has made them the bloodline of the Jiang family, in the face of such huge family interests, why shouldn't they fight for it?
After finally killing Jiang Huai, I didn't expect the old lady to insist on taking Jiang Yan back from the temple.
They didn't intend to do anything so drastic, it was all forced by the old lady.
There is no way Jiang Youning would leave the old lady here alone now. If the old lady doesn't go home, how can her brother's plan go forward?
Jiang Youning convinced himself in his heart and made the same gesture as before.
"Grandma, how could my granddaughter forget your kindness? But now that Brother Yan is missing and people outside are eyeing us covetously, I'm worried that Grandpa might be in danger when he's alone at home."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Jiang was actually worried. Although the old man was a playboy, he had always respected her and had never thought of letting women from outside into the house.
When Jiang Youning saw the old lady's expression, he knew that he had found her weak spot.
She had done her homework. The old lady and the old man were a couple who had been through thick and thin together, and they had a deep bond between them!
"Grandma, I think this master is quite capable. Since you trust her so much, why not ask her to come home and do some fortune-telling!"
"It doesn't matter if we have a little more time. Besides, the master has helped us so much, we should treat him well."
Jiang Youning took another step back. She didn't believe that this stinky beggar was someone important. He was just a charlatan.
When we get back to the Jiang family, we will let this beggar die together.
Old Mrs. Jiang also thought it made sense, and she was really worried about the old man now.
"Okay then! Little girl, why don't you come home with me and have your fortune told? And you can also help me look after my old man."
Jiang Youning looked at Yunyan with a smug expression, as if he was waiting for Yunyan to fall into his trap.
Yunyan became interested. She originally wanted to tell the old lady not to go home because the old man at home had been controlled.
But think about the old lady's character, she would go back even if she knew the old man was in danger.
It would be better for her to go back with him. Jiang Youning thought that there was just another insignificant beggar.
But she didn't know that Yunyan loved to stir up trouble. She wanted to see whether the brother that Jiang Youning was so proud of was really that powerful.
