Chapter 484
484 Invited to be a guest
In a courtyard of a large house in the capital, a person who was watching TV in the living room received a call from an unknown number.
“Who is it?”
the voice sounded slightly old.
After all, he was already 80 years old.
a young woman’s voice came from the phone, with a bit of unruliness, ” “hello, elder jiang!”
Jiang Qi was the previous head of the Jiang family. When he was in power, the Jiang family’s influence was not as great as when Jiang che was in power, but it was not much worse. At least it was better than now.
he had been in a high position for a long time, and the people who welcomed and sent him off were all very respectful to him, especially the younger generation. in all these years, jiang che was the only junior he had seen who dared to speak to him without any restraint.
This was the first time a junior other than Jiang che had treated him with such an indifferent attitude.
And it was an unknown little girl.
Jiang Xun’s expression was not good.
“Who are you?”
“i’m just a nobody, so i won’t mention my name. I’m calling you so late because I have something to tell you.”
jiang xun didn’t say anything.
He furrowed his brows deeply and was already displeased.
tong yan chuckled. ” recently, the second master of the jiang family came to wu county of yun province and met our lady yan. since second master jiang is the second brother of the fifth master of the jiang family, lady yan asked him to stay as a guest for a few days. ”
“i heard that old master jiang values his son very much. our miss yan is very hospitable, and i thought that second master jiang would not want to leave, so she asked me to pass on a message to old master jiang. If the Jiang family’s second master is still unwilling to return to the capital after the new year, then old master Jiang might need to personally go and fetch him.”
Tong Yan did not know whether Jiang Zhi valued Jiang Zhe or not, so he did not Ask Amy to check. He only asked Amy to check Jiang Zhi’s private phone number.
It was already ten O ‘clock in the evening. Usually, Jiang Zhi would have returned to her room to rest by this time. Today, she was still sitting in the living room at this time because she was waiting for Jiang Zhe’s call.
after waiting for so long, there was still no news of jiang zhe. instead, he received a call from tong yan.
In the beginning, he had not linked Tong Yan to Shi Yan at all. It was because he felt that even if Jiang Zhe did not succeed or even failed this time, it should be Jiang che or the Shi family who contacted him. It could not be a young girl he had never heard of.
He had never thought that it would be Shi Yan.
after learning about jiang che and shi yan, he had sent someone to investigate shi yan.
although he had not thoroughly investigated shi yan’s matter, he had found out all the superficial things, such as shi yan’s general temperament.
he had never seen or heard shi yan speak, but he knew that shi yan would not speak in such an unruly tone.
“You’re with that girl from the Shi family?”
“since old master jiang addressed our miss yan as such, those who don’t know would think that you two are very close. in fact, you’ve never even met before.”
jiang qian’s face darkened.
“I’m just joking, please don’t take offense, old master Jiang. since i’ve already delivered the message, i won’t disturb elder jiang any further. remember, you have to pick up second master jiang after the new year, and you have to pick him up personally. don’t get it wrong, elder jiang. However, it doesn’t seem to matter even if you’re mistaken. You probably won’t be able to find out where we’ve invited second master Jiang to be a guest.”
“oh, don’t even think about going to wu county to look for miss yan. she and the fifth lord are on vacation. i don’t think either of them would like to be disturbed.”
” then, elder jiang, see you after the new year. ”
“Du du du …”
a busy tone came from the other end of the phone, and jiang qian threw the phone at him.
“Old master, what happened?” the voice alerted the people outside.
“Call Jiang Yu and tell him to come back immediately! Also, send a visiting card to the Shi family. I’ll go to the Shi family to see Shi Xun in person tomorrow!”

Jiang Shasha was a guest at Jiang Yu’s temporary residence in Haicheng when she received the call from the old mansion.
or rather, it was jiang yu who ” invited ” her over and even prepared another room for her so that she could live with him while she was in haicheng.
Of course, it wasn’t because they were close siblings. Jiang Qi wanted to keep an eye on Jiang Shasha and prevent her from leaving Haicheng.
“looking at third brother’s expression, did something happen?”
jiang shasha was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed. she had already taken off her glasses and placed them on the coffee table in front of her, so she didn’t look like her usual quiet and harmless self at all.
He flicked the wine glass in his hand and looked at Jiang Yu who was sitting diagonally opposite him. “let me guess who’s in trouble.” she smiled and took a sip of her wine. ” ah, it’s daddy, right? ”
he had no information about it beforehand, but jiang shasha clearly knew about it.
“You’re involved in this?” Jiang Yu’s face darkened.
“Look at what third brother is saying. That’s my biological father. I’m not so heartless as to deliberately let him court death. I just heard some news beforehand through some channels.”
“Since you received the news beforehand, why didn’t you stop them?”
jiang shasha finished the red wine in one gulp and poured herself another.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at him,”third brother, have you forgotten that I’m just a painter? a poor painter who needs to set up a stall on the roadside to earn travel expenses.” Father is following the old master’s orders to find trouble with fifth uncle. I don’t have the ability to stop him. after all, i can’t afford to offend either fifth uncle or the old master.”
Jiang Shasha, don’t treat me like how you treat other people. It’s useless to play dumb in front of me.
“third brother, now doesn’t seem to be the time to wonder if i’m acting stupid. The call just now was from the old master, right? did the old man ask you to go back?”
“It seems like I guessed right.”
“so, third brother, do you want to listen to the old man?” jiang shasha smiled as she sipped on her wine.
if you don’t listen, you’ll be disobeying the old master, and he’ll remember you. He’ll remember you and make you suffer in the Jiang family. No, I should say that with the Jiang family’s current situation, it’s not a good thing to be remembered by anyone in the Jiang family.
“if third older brother listened to the lordmaster and immediately went back, he would not be able to keep an eye on me. Third brother, you know very well that unless you personally keep an eye on me, no matter how many people you send to keep an eye on me, it will be of no use.”
“If third brother plans to bring me back to the capital, with third brother’s current strength, it doesn’t seem very likely that he’ll be able to do so.”
“Third brother, why are you looking at me like that? I’m telling the truth.”
Jiang Shasha, do you really think I can’t do anything to you? ”
Jiang Shasha’s hand, which was holding the wine glass, paused when she met his cold gaze. She then smiled and said, ” “third brother, why do you have to be so ruthless? you know that with fifth uncle here, i can’t really do anything. i don’t have the guts to directly provoke fifth uncle.”
“fine, i promise you won’t appear in front of fifth uncle or that miss shi before you return from the capital. is that okay?”
jiang yu didn’t believe her and looked at her suspiciously.
Jiang Shasha looked him in the eye with a smile. third brother, don’t go too far. You know very well that if it wasn’t for the fact that I don’t want our relationship to be completely broken, you wouldn’t have been able to ‘invite’ me here even if you had to do it yourself.
