Chapter 291: The Wolf Is Coming 2
Wan Chu’er entered the room to find the atmosphere extremely tense; everyone was staring at her with unfriendly expressions, and Aunt Jiang was glaring at her fiercely, looking as though she might pounce and tear her apart at any second.
Stepping in confidently, Wan Chu’er greeted everyone politely: "Hello, everyone."
Father Jiang then helped Old Sir Zhong into the room, leading him straight to the seat of honor alongside Mr. Jiang.
It was only then that Father Jiang looked up to survey the relatives gathered in the room, spotting faces filled with either cold indifference or outright hostility. His own face darkened with disapproval as he pressed down his anger and said:
"Today, I don’t want any disturbances from anyone. If any of you make trouble, don’t bother coming to me in the future. This is Xiao Chu’s maternal grandfather, Old Sir Zhong."
The earlier part of his speech was a bit harsh, but they outright ignored the introduction that followed. They didn’t recognize Old Sir Zhong and simply saw him as an ordinary old man, not paying much attention.
Second Uncle Jiang and Third Uncle Jiang were taken aback and hadn’t expected their elder brother to give so much importance to Wan Chu’er. Their expressions shifted slightly, and they became more cautious towards her.
Third Uncle Jiang even gestured covertly to his wife, signaling her not to rashly make herself cannon fodder.
Aunt Jiang knew her brother’s words were meant for her. Already angry, she now added a sense of grievance and discontent to her sullen gaze. She couldn’t help but ask: "Big brother, are you really treating your siblings like this for an outsider? Do you still acknowledge us? Do you still acknowledge our parents?"
Such emotional intelligence—Wan Chu’er almost wanted to applaud Aunt Jiang. But what was the point of saying that? It would only make Father Jiang dislike her even more.
It’s better not to say anything useless.
Father Jiang replied coldly, "Stop causing trouble, and there’ll be no problems." True to his military background, his temperament was firm, and his words were straightforward.
