Due to old master Kang’s age, he returned to his room early to rest.
Xin Xiu walked to Jiang Yu’s side and held her hand. She said gently, “Xiao Yu, your grandfather came to the study room just now. Did he say anything?”
Jiang Yu knew that the person in front of her was her aunt, Xin Xiu. She had always been known for being sarcastic. But now, it seemed that she was very gentle.
“It’s nothing,” Jiang Yu said without changing her expression. “He just told me that I need to get used to staying in the Kang family.”
“Really?” Xin Xiu smiled. “Your grandfather is right. You’ve been outside for too long. Now that you’re back in the Kang family, you should get used to it.”
She didn’t expect Jiang Yu to be so calculative at such a young age. She even knew how to hide what Old Master Kang had told her in front of strangers.
“I understand. Thank you, aunt,” Jiang Yu said.
When Old Master Kang said that it was the fourth will, she knew that there were still three wills in the hands of Kang Cheng, Kang Zheng, and Kang Qi.
As Kang Cheng’s wife, she couldn’t get the other two wills, so she could only set her sights on Jiang Yu. She wanted to build a good relationship with Jiang Yu and use it to get the fourth will.
She didn’t expect that the Kang family in the capital would also fight openly and secretly for the family property.
It seemed that these people had ulterior motives. Although everyone had their own thoughts, their final goal was nothing more than to get the will in Jiang Yu’s hands.
Jiang Yu was starting to doubt whether the reliable second uncle that Xu Ye mentioned, Kang Zheng, was someone she could rely on.
“You’re welcome,” Xin Xiu said with a smile. “You’re Kang Die’s daughter, so you have to call me ‘aunt’. Just because you call me ‘aunt’, if you have any difficulties, just say it. Aunt will help you.”
“Thank you, first aunt,” Jiang Yu said very politely.
Xin Xiu did not seem to be satisfied with this. She even pulled her son, Kang Xuan, over and introduced him to Jiang Yu. “Xiao Yu, this is my son, your brother, Kang Xuan.”
Although Kang Xuan had always been tired of such things, he still pretended to be happy and greeted her. “Hello, Xiao Yu. I’m your brother.”
“Hello.” Jiang Yu nodded slightly.
Kang Qi smiled and said, “Why did you even introduce your own son?”
She had always disliked her sister-in-law. She felt that she was not only bitter and mean, but also always calculative for the sake of benefits.
Xin Xiu did not like her sister-in-law either. She felt that she was always going against her.
Now that she heard what she said, Xin Xiu said disdainfully, “Then why don’t you introduce your daughter as well?”
“Wenwen didn’t come today. How can I introduce her?” Kang Qi smiled and said to Jiang Yu, “Xiao Yu, if there’s a chance in the future, I’ll introduce Wenwen to you.”
“Okay, I got it, Auntie.”
The entire family had a total of 108 scheming minds.
Jiang Yu sighed. She really felt that this kind of life was very tiring for them.
“It’s getting late today. You can stay here for now. The Butler has already prepared a room for you,” Kang Cheng said.
“Thank you, uncle,” Jiang Yu thanked him politely and followed the butler to the room on the second floor with Mo Long.
After entering the room, the Butler left.
“This is the room prepared for Jiang Ran and Sun You, right?” Jiang Yu looked at the clothes from top to bottom. They were all pink, which Jiang Ran liked.
“They didn’t know that there would be such a good show today, right?” Mo Long sat by the bed. He really felt that the arrangement in this room was very ugly.
Jiang Yu walked to the window. From here, he could clearly see the scene at the door.
Jiang Hai and Jiang Ran were still there. Even though they were shivering in the cold, they showed no signs of leaving.
Mo Long had unknowingly walked behind Jiang Yu and also saw this scene.
“The two of them are indeed father and daughter.” Mo Long smiled. It was unknown whether it was because he disdained their actions or simply felt that they were ridiculous.
“There won’t be any change even if they stay here forever,” Jiang Yu said softly, “What Jiang Hai owed my mother and I back then should also be returned. As for Jiang Ran, she should also learn from the brainless things she did.”
“It’s a pity that they don’t seem to have realized their mistakes,” Mo Long said.
“Jiang Ran’s appearance here means that she had a conflict with Sun You,” Jiang Yu said, “Sun You felt that Jiang Ran had lost her value, so he canceled the engagement with her. She lost her backer, and her only hope was Jiang Hai. It’s a pity that Jiang Hai was a failed father and couldn’t bring any benefits to Jiang Ran.”
