Jiang Ling’er was confused. “My dad should have his own connections. Does he not know about Jiang Jun’s abilities?”
Old Master Jiang said with a smile, “It’s precisely because your dad has connections that he’s too lazy to struggle for the company. He thinks that it’s just a waste of time to argue over trivial matters.”
Jiang Ling’er put on a dark expression and said, “Grandpa, I thought you let Jiang Jun live here so you can nurture him as your heir.”
In the original book, it was mentioned that Bai Xue was pure, kind, and charming. It was written that the Li family’s young master was in love with her, and Jiang Jun, the future successor of the Jiang family, had also voluntarily submitted to her charm. However, now, from the words of Old Master Jiang, Jiang Jun wasn’t even a candidate to inherit the Jiang Corporation.
Old Master Jiang said, “I’ve never been close to him, and he doesn’t have the skills necessary to take over the company. Wouldn’t it be a joke if 1 made him my heir?”
Jiang Ling’er asked, “So what are you planning to do now?”
Old Master Jiang said, “Your father is still around, and Jiang Hua is doing well in all aspects. Your second brother is also smart and capable. Speaking of your second brother, he said that he will come back before the New Year.”
Jiang Ling’er suddenly felt a little expectant. “That’s great! 1 miss Second Brother so much.”
The original owner of her body and her second brother, Jiang Xian, had never met in the book. Now that she was living on behalf of the original owner, she wanted to build a good relationship with him.
Old Master Jiang said, “I’m not sure about the details. Didn’t we talk about it last time? 1 hope Jiang Xian wouldn’t change his plans.”
Jiang Ling’er thought for a moment and asked curiously, “By the way, Grandpa, why did Second Brother go overseas? Isn’t it better to stay in China?”
In the book, her second brother had only come back to collect her corpse. The author had skipped the details.
Old Master Jiang shook his head and said, “It’s not that things aren’t good in our country. Your second brother didn’t go overseas to develop his career. At that time, he just told me that he wanted to go out and see the world. 1 believe that a man should have great aspirations, so 1 let him go. Over the years, he has been to many places and encountered many difficulties, but he has never asked for money from the family. Aside from things forbidden by our ancestral teachings, your second brother has done all kinds of jobs. As for what he’s really thinking, only he knows.”
Jiang Ling’er was surprised. She had thought that her second brother had taken the family’s money to start a business overseas. To her surprise, he didn’t seek anything from the family; all he desired was to venture out and explore the world.
Old Master Jiang sighed lightly and said sadly, “Your second brother left when he was 18 and hasn’t returned since. Although the two of you haven’t seen each other much, your second brother is better than your elder brother in all aspects. Every year, he gives you a gift on your birthday.”
Jiang Ling’er was speechless. She thought inwardly, ‘Woah. I had no idea about this. The original owner of my body probably has no idea about it, either.’
Old Master Jiang saw that Jiang Ling’er was surprised. He said, “Look, Little Leopard over there is a gift from your second brother.”
“Little Leopard, come to Mommy,” said Jiang Ling’er.
Jiang Ling’er shouted at the leopard cat that was licking its fur not far away. This revelation really bewildered her. She had no idea that her pet came from Jiang Xian. She thought the previous owner of her body was the one who bought it.
The leopard cat stretched its body and ran to Jiang Ling’er’s side. She hugged the cat and petted it. It lay in her arms comfortably.
Old Man Jiang rolled his eyes at the leopard cat. “Hmph, look at how cozy it is. It didn’t like you much before.”
Jiang Ling’er was a bit puzzled. Could it be that the leopard cat and her original body didn’t get along well? But that didn’t seem right. The fur was so lustrous and beautiful. If it had a bad relationship with its owner, it should have been neglected. So, why was it still so radiant?
She said doubtfully, “I probably didn’t give it enough attention in the past, so we ignored each other. Now, 1 have more time to play with it.”
Old Master Jiang shook his head and said, “Not really. When you didn’t have time to take care of your leopard cat, the housekeeper was the one responsible for it. But even I haven’t seen it treat the housekeeper like this. It never lets anyone touch it, and it’s also very picky about food.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and looked at the cat in her arms. “My Little Leopard is very sensible now.”
The leopard cat immediately meowed a few times and then rubbed against Jiang Ling’er’s hand.
Old Man Jiang’s face darkened. ‘Is this cat competing for attention?’
He said, “Oh, before I forget, Jiang Xian was also the one who came up with the idea of special enrollment students.”
Jiang Ling’er was stunned. Her second brother was actually full of schemes. If he came back this time and supported her, handling any situation would be so much easier.
“Grandpa, since Second Brother cares so much about me, why didn’t he contact me?” Jiang Ling’er asked.
Three months had passed since Jiang Ling’er transmigrated to this place, but Jiang Xian had yet to leave her a message..
