Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2560: Chapter 2496: You Can’t Fall Behind Either

”It seems Little is even smarter and more alert than we imagined.”

At this moment, the smile finally returned to Jiang Shiheng’s eyes.

When there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, his whole person appeared very serious and authoritative, but once there was a hint of a smile, it made him look quite elegant.

The way he was just now made Chen Yiping not dare to take a deep breath.

Now Sixth Young Master Jiang seemed more approachable.

”Little is indeed very smart; she probably believed that I wouldn’t be late unless something was wrong, and that’s why she thought something might have happened.” Cheng Cheng also felt very proud.

Having such a sister felt invaluable to him.

”While Little is smart, you can’t lag behind.” Jiang Shiheng glanced at him again.

”Yes, I will definitely stay alert.” Cheng Cheng thought to himself indignantly that if he found those people, he’d beat them until they were barely breathing.

Making his sister mad at him was simply unforgivable.

”Let’s go back to the banquet hall.”

Jiang Shiheng stood up.

The banquet organized by the Jiang Family tonight certainly would not end so soon. Besides, they hadn’t spent that much time yet.

Now, he was going to take Cheng Cheng back to the banquet hall.

The scheme those people prepared failed to succeed, and they were likely fuming with anger.

They returned to the banquet hall again.

The moment Jiang Shiheng led Cheng Cheng in, there was a little stir once more.

Cheng Cheng is merely his adopted son.

Many male members of the Jiang Family hadn’t even come to this banquet, and here was an outsider?

As soon as they entered the hall, it was evident that the atmosphere wasn’t all that pleasant. At least no one seemed to be smiling lightly.

Understandably so, how many people could genuinely be happy at such a banquet?

Fourth Master Jiang had just managed to mediate between Old Jiang and Old Master Lu earlier, calming them down. Now, seeing Jiang Shiheng bringing Cheng Cheng in, he immediately understood who the empty seat at this table was meant for.

There had been an empty seat at the table all along; he thought it was an oversight by the family, placing an extra setting. But now it seemed it was reserved for Cheng Cheng?

What nonsense.

”Xiao Sixth, why did you bring Cheng Cheng? Cheng Cheng should go to the courtyard, and someone can send food to him; no one would neglect him.” He said in a low voice.

Jiang Shiheng chuckled, ”Fourth Uncle, and all present here, I hope you can bear with us. Our branch’s family members are really few, just me and Grandpa. I always feel a bit weak alone. Besides, I regard Cheng Cheng as a son, so bringing him to such an occasion should be okay, right?”

”Cheng Cheng’s surname is still Cheng...” Fourth Master Jiang said with a frown.

Before he could finish, Jiang Shiheng replied, ”Fourth Uncle, he could change the surname if need be, but if he changes to Jiang, should he also get a share of the Jiang Family’s assets?”

With this sentence, Fourth Master Jiang was stumped, finding himself speechless.

How to respond?

Jiang Shiheng’s branch does indeed consist of just him. If he can’t bring an adopted son to the banquet, does that make them seem too harsh?

Besides, this adopted son has a different surname, and Jiang Family’s matters have nothing to do with him. Why be so bothered?

Let him come; what could possibly be lacking?

The Jiang Family members said nothing more.

”Ah Cheng, this is Old Master Lu. Greet him.” Jiang Shiheng introduced, seeing no one spoke further.

Cheng Cheng stood straight, ”Cheng Cheng, greetings to Old Master Lu.”
