Chapter 974: Seduction Failed
Although this attempt to seduce failed, Si Ye managed to test Jiang Xue’s skills.
Next time, he absolutely won’t go alone, he’ll bring a few more people, and it would be best to beat up Jiang Xue to vent his anger before thoroughly humiliating her.
Jiang Xue was unaware of Si Ye’s plan, and even if she knew, she wouldn’t care. She had always been open-minded and fearless, ready to counter soldiers with generals and floods with earth.
Returning to the Si Family, Luo Weiwei, having nothing to do the next day, did not rush back home and stayed over. Moreover, the two families weren’t far apart, living in the same neighborhood, just one residing in the south and the other in the north.
After dinner, Luo Weiwei went out for a walk and ran into the seniors of the Jiang Family, sitting together for a chat. As they chatted, the second elder of the Jiang Family inquired about Luo Weiwei’s school matters.
Even though the Jiang Family and the Si Family aren’t related by blood, they live in the same neighborhood and are both established families in South City. If it were in the past, the Jiang Family would certainly not pay attention to someone like Luo Weiwei, a child of an out-married woman.
But times have changed, and the Jiang Family’s position as the leading family is precarious. Furthermore, Jiang Xue has no descendants, causing considerable anxiety.
There isn’t any way out, Jiang Mingzhu is still in prison. As for Jiang Feng, despite divorcing Ming Lan, he refuses to remarry. Regarding the younger son, Jiang Rui, he’s stuck with An Ru, a woman who can’t have children, yet he’s unwilling to divorce.
If he were twenty years younger, Old Sir Jiang might personally take action and marry a second wife. But now, he is powerless.
The disobedience of the younger generation brings understandable frustration to the seniors of the Jiang Family. Today, the two went out for a post-dinner walk and were fortunate to meet someone as good-looking as Luo Weiwei, considered an external granddaughter of friends. Their mood brightened, and they started a conversation.
"It’s alright," Luo Weiwei replied, somewhat disinterestedly. If it weren’t for Jiang Xue, her college life would naturally be smooth.
But ever since Jiang Xue appeared, her smooth days vanished. To be honest, Luo Weiwei brought this on herself, though she would never admit it. She blamed Jiang Xue for everything, always looking for a chance to crush Jiang Xue underfoot.
Old Sir Jiang, being who he is, could tell from Luo Weiwei’s words that things aren’t going well for her at school, and asked, "What’s wrong? You don’t seem very happy, is someone bullying you at school?"
After this question, Old Sir Jiang found it unlikely. After all, Luo Weiwei is the granddaughter of the Si Family, and in South City, nobody would dare make things difficult for her.
"It’s more than just bullying," Luo Weiwei said hatefully. Thinking of the humiliation caused by Jiang Xue, and recalling the scene of kneeling down, her resentment was unstoppable.
However, she was also someone who valued her dignity. Even though she knew the seniors of the Jiang Family well, and had a good relationship with Jiang Mingzhu in the past, she wouldn’t bring up such embarrassing matters.
"What’s going on? Tell Grandpa Jiang, and he’ll stand up for you," Old Jiang immediately offered.
Yet, Luo Weiwei did not want to elaborate. She stood up and said, "Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang, it’s getting late. I should go back, or else the family will worry."
After speaking, Luo Weiwei got up and left, heading back to the Si Family. Watching her depart, Old Sir Jiang exchanged a glance with his wife and remarked nostalgically, "If Jiang Yun’s child were still around, he or she would be about this age."
"Ah, isn’t that so?" Old Madam Jiang agreed, her face marked by the ravages of time.
