Chapter 231: 170 Second Master vs Young Master Xie, Fifth Master’s divine assists are too many_2

Jiang Jinsang gripped her hand tightly, nestling it in his palm—outside was cold and freezing, yet his hand was filled with warmth.

“There are quite a few questions, right?”

“Is it convenient to talk?” Tang Wan was genuinely curious about the affairs between Jiang Yanting and Shen Zhixian, but since it involved other people’s privacy, she felt uneasy about prying too much.

“Actually, I don’t know much myself, but roughly…” Jiang Jinsang shared what he knew with her.

“If she’s Jiangjiang’s mother, why hasn’t she come to see him after all these years? If it’s because they didn’t use their real names initially and couldn’t find each other, now that she knows the Second Master has a child, does she not feel anything?”

“I guess even my big brother isn’t clear on this,” Jiang Jinsang said with a light laugh.

“Then what’s her relationship with the Xie Family? She doesn’t have the surname Xie, is she that Miss Xie’s cousin?” The age difference seemed minimal, so it wasn’t strange for Tang Wan to guess as much.

Jiang Jinsang just smiled, “That’s quite complicated, I’m not entirely sure about the details since Xie Duo has always been my brother’s archenemy. So when Old Master Xie mentioned arranged dating, Grandma hesitated and declined for a long time. The Xie Family talked about it repeatedly, and it was indeed awkward to keep refusing, so we eventually agreed.”

Tang Wan nodded, “I heard that the Second Master and him have fought before?”

Jiang Jinsang raised an eyebrow, “Who did you hear that from?”

“So there really was such an incident? It couldn’t have been over a girl, could it?” Tang Wan frowned.

Jiang Jinsang smiled, “It was over me.”

“Hmm?” Tang Wan was stunned for several seconds.

“Actually, it wasn’t a fight between the two of them, they fought together in a group fight.”

Jiang Jinsang slipped her hand into his pocket, gently rubbing the back of her hand with his fingertips, seemingly intending to warm her up, but it made Tang Wan feel somewhat ticklish deep down.

“Back then my health wasn’t great, and though I attended school, it was on and off, with frequent leaves of absence, so I was a bit of a special case. Naturally, the teachers would take extra care of me. However, somehow the rumor about my early demise reached the school.”

“I wasn’t there, so I don’t know the specifics, but in essence, someone was talking behind my back, and my brother heard it. Probably the words were unpleasant, and he threw punches.”

“Unexpectedly, Xie Duo happened to be there, and he joined in to help!”

Tang Wan pursed her lips; she had been puzzled before. Even though it was her first time seeing Xie Duo, he didn’t seem like an impulsive person, prone to sudden outbursts, and neither did Jiang Yanting. How could the two of them end up fighting?

She even randomly thought, could it have been over a girl?

She didn’t expect it to be like this!

“The school has always been strict against group fights. All the students involved were disciplined, and parents were called in. My brother’s and Xie Duo’s names stood out.”

“Those guys wouldn’t tell others they got beaten up for gossiping about me, and got dealt with by my brother. Plus, with the uneasy relationship between my brother and Xie Duo, many instinctively thought they were the instigators of the group fight.”

“But the truth wasn’t quite like that.”

Tang Wan nodded, “I guess no one expected Xie Duo to pitch in.”

“I heard that the Xie Family was quite shocked when they learned the reason, and he actually said directly…”

“Even if my brother gets beaten up, he’s the only one allowed to do it!” Jiang Jinsang laughed out loud.

“He said those people were ‘unworthy.’ Despite his refined appearance, he’s not like that deep down.”

“He probably despises their behavior,” Tang Wan stated bluntly.

“Xie Duo is a good guy. The two of them have fought for so long, but he never resorts to dirty tricks behind someone’s back. Whether he loses or wins, he accepts it openly, so even as an opponent, he is worthy of respect.”

Tang Wan rarely heard Jiang Jinsang praise someone, and the evaluation was indeed high.

“Since that’s the case, why did you rush down so anxiously when you knew he was coming over? They couldn’t possibly start fighting.”
