Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

The old lady, in a daze, suddenly remembered something, raising her hand to wipe her tears, “Right, go tell that foolish brother of yours to hurry up with the investigation. If someone lurks in the shadows, willing to harm lives for wealth, they might be capable of other acts, and if they find out her relation to Yanting, it would be terrible!”

“People have already been sent to investigate. Don’t worry, big brother is taking this very seriously.”

“Is that person reliable?”

“It’s fourth brother!”

“Him, huh? That boy might seem frivolous most of the time, but he’s dependable when it really matters…” The old lady let out a relieved sigh, then suddenly remembered something else, “Wait a minute, you knew about this too?”

“I found out a bit earlier than you.”

“You’re in cahoots with your brother, then.”

“…”

“At crucial times, you still side with your brother, right? Keeping everyone in the dark, the two of you brothers, not a good one amongst you, now you get out too—”

Jiang Yanting was still in the living room being lectured at the moment, the old lady had left, but Jiang Zhenhuan still had something to say.

Then they heard a roar coming from the old lady’s room, followed by…

Jiang Jinsang was driven out!

Jiang Yanting looked at him with a serious face, “How did you manage to anger Grandma again?”

“Xiaowu, did you upset her?” Jiang Zhenhuan also frowned.

Jiang Jinsang was instantly at a loss whether to cry or laugh; didn’t a certain someone have any idea why he was kicked out?

Today was, after all, Little New Year, and the Xie Family was also very lively, it’s just that upon hearing that Shen Zhixian was going to the Jiang Family in the evening, everyone had a different expression.

“Did you make arrangements with him?” Master Xie slightly frowned.

“Um.” Shen Zhixian nodded.

“Don’t you two think this is moving a bit too fast? It hasn’t been long since you met at the matchmaking meeting. Even if you feel it’s appropriate, you should still get to know each other better,” the old master reminded.

“Little aunt,” Xie Duo spoke up, “I know him quite well, and you should really spend more time with him to find out if he is truly suitable for you.”

“He’s not very romantic, and he keeps his thoughts hidden deep. He’s not very talkative normally and can even be a bit dull.”

“However, when dealing with enemies, he is not polite at all, so you still need to understand him better.”

“Thank you, I know.” Shen Zhixian just smiled; after all, what Xie Duo said wasn’t slander, because that person really couldn’t be considered romantic, and was too coy.

Xie Duo would love nothing more than to break the two of them up, because he currently couldn’t even look Jiang Yanting in the eye.

“I’m still quite worried about your situation since the Jiang Family doesn’t know everything,” Master Xie sighed, “I wasn’t thorough enough before and didn’t tell the Jiang Family everything about you. Now we’re in a passive position. If the Jiang Family finds out, I’m afraid it will cause a lot of trouble, and in the end, you’ll be the one who gets hurt.”

“Actually, I intend to go to the Jiang Family to explain everything clearly; some things can’t stay hidden!”

“Did you tell them everything?” Du Jinglan sat to one side with a worried face, “Zhixian, you better think this through. Wouldn’t it be better to wait until your relationship is more stable before laying your cards on the table? There’s no need to rush.”

“I’ve thought it through clearly. If I want to date him, sincerity and openness are essential, whether towards him or the Jiang Family,” Shen Zhixian spoke calmly, “Even if I were to hide everything, the happiness I get would be built on lies. The relationship from the start would have hidden dangers, unstable, at the slightest touch it might collapse.”

“But it is Little New Year after all…” Du Jinglan tried to dissuade her.

“Just let her do what she wants. I owe the Jiang Family an apology as well; how about I accompany you there?” The old master said bluntly.

“No need, I’ll go and explain by myself. If you were to go, the Jiang Family, even if dissatisfied, would probably have to endure it; the sentiment of the apology may not be delivered.”

With the position and status the old master holds, him bowing in apology to Jiang Yanting might make it difficult for him to accept it directly.

“Alright, you go first, I’ll visit another day.”

“Little aunt, you really plan to tell them everything, huh? You’d better think it through,” Xie Tongtong also had a worried face.
