Chapter 1366: Overwhelmed with Remorse
"Ah Hao, how come you have time to come to South City? How are your parents doing?" Old Sir Jiang asked with a smile about Jin Hao’s parents.
"Uncle Jiang, my parents are doing well. This time, besides asking me to send their regards to you, they also asked me to bring some gifts for you." As Jin Hao spoke, he signaled to Ah Lin to bring out the gifts.
Although Ah Lin didn’t know Old Sir Jiang, it was true they had brought gifts. So, he went to the room and brought out the gifts they had brought.
"Boss!" Ah Lin handed the gifts to Jin Hao. Jin Hao glanced at them – indeed gifts from his parents for Old Sir Jiang – and accepted them with a smile before handing them to Old Sir Jiang, saying, "A token of my parents’ thoughtfulness; please accept them gladly, Uncle Jiang."
"Then I gladly accept." Old Sir Jiang took the items with a smile and continued chatting with Jin Hao.
After catching up for a while, Jin Hao turned to the main topic, saying to Old Sir Jiang, "Uncle Jiang, there’s a company in South City recently that’s quite popular, did you know?"
"You must be talking about that cell phone company, right? It is indeed quite popular." Although Old Jiang was elderly, he was still quite knowledgeable about happenings outside. For instance, he knew about Jiang Xue’s company becoming popular.
"Yes, that’s the company." Jin Hao nodded, then asked, "How much do you know about that company, Uncle Jiang?"
Upon hearing this, Old Sir Jiang’s expression immediately turned unpleasant. He certainly didn’t know much about that company, but he did know it was Jiang Xue’s.
And Jiang Xue was his granddaughter. Back then, one wrong decision led Jiang Xue to hold a grudge against them, making her unwilling to acknowledge them or return to the Jiang Family.
If only he had known how successful Jiang Xue would become, he would have certainly acknowledged her and not sought a replacement.
Thinking about the foolish decision he made, finding a replacement and abandoning his real granddaughter, Old Sir Jiang regretted so much it made his heart ache.
But the matter had already happened, and no matter how much he regretted it, it was useless. Because of this, he couldn’t reunite with his granddaughter or grandson.
All these days, he hadn’t wanted to confront or think about this matter. But whenever someone mentioned it, regret would flood his heart like a tide.
"Uncle Jiang, what’s wrong?" Jin Hao noticed Old Sir Jiang’s troubled expression and couldn’t help but worry.
"It’s nothing!" Old Sir Jiang waved his hand, saying, "Just some unpleasant memories."
Jin Hao observed Old Sir Jiang for a while, seeing his expression had recovered, he eased up, then continued, "Uncle Jiang, I heard the owner of that company is surnamed Jiang and seems to be somewhat related to you, is that true?"
Upon hearing this, Old Sir Jiang’s mood, which had just settled, was disturbed again. If it weren’t Jin Hao, he would definitely not respond. But given Jin Hao’s identity, even though his heart was unhappy, he patiently answered.
"Ah Hao, you’re right; the owner of that company is indeed somewhat related to me. Truth be told, you won’t laugh at me. She should be my granddaughter, but she was adopted since childhood, and later some things happened, leading her to always be unwilling to return to the Jiang Family or acknowledge us."
"Ah, how could this happen?" Jin Hao hadn’t expected things to turn out this way. Originally, he planned to use Old Sir Jiang as a breakthrough to get close to Jiang Xue.
