Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1796: Chapter 1732 The Agreement of That Year

After they left, Ying Qiong looked at Li Hanzhong and asked somewhat puzzledly, ”Hanzhong, why didn’t you let me stop them?”

”Xiao Sixth’s memory hasn’t recovered yet, which means, in his eyes, we are still strangers. Of course, he prioritizes Chiang Xiao.”

He could see that Ah Liu cared deeply about Chiang Xiao.

Even though they hadn’t been acquainted for long.

Ying Qiong said in a somewhat daze, ”You mean, in Xiao Sixth’s heart, none of us can compare to Chiang Xiao? But, her mother...”

”Hanzhong, have someone investigate Chiang Xiao’s mother, no, not just her mother,” Old Master Jiang suddenly interjected, his voice hoarse and tone weak, but the attitude in his words was very firm, ”also include her grandparents, other relatives, investigate thoroughly and give me a detailed report.”

Li Hanzhong furrowed his brows slightly and said, ”Old Master, Xinian just said that Chiang Xiao is a good child and very clever...”

”I didn’t say she’s bad. I know this girl is good,” Old Master Jiang said. ”However, from what Meng Xinian just said, back then, the girl from the Chiang Family bullied our Xiao Sixth, right? Over the years, we don’t know if the Chiang Family has been good to this Chiang Xiao, so we have to find out, so in the future, we know how to deal with it.”

After saying so much, he was already somewhat out of breath.

After a pause to catch his breath, Old Master Jiang continued, ”Also, don’t forget about the Lu Family of Pingzhou. That Lu Zhenggang from the Lu Family of the Capital City has always coveted your position, right? Had it not been for relying on the support of the Pingzhou Lu Family over the years, and Ah Shuang balancing the relationships between both sides, you might not have been able to hold your position steadily.”

Hearing this, Ying Qiong couldn’t help but look at Li Hanzhong with a trace of worry.

Lu Shuangshuang, due to her relationship with their family, was deeply loved by Old Lu and her brother. She had acted as a bridge between the two families for many years. With Lu Zhenggang’s ambition, it had long stirred up a confrontation between the Lu Family of Pingzhou and the D State Jiang Family.

The Chiang Family is now undergoing undercurrents of turbulence, while the Lu Family of Pingzhou, though not as deeply rooted as the Chiang Family, could be considered a rising star. However, the entire Lu Family is very protective and united, with strong cohesion.

In D State, they could call the shots, but if the family were to split apart, what would be their fate in the end?

Li Hanzhong remained silent.

Ying Qiong hesitantly said, ”I truly have never seen a girl as steadfast as Ah Shuang. When she said back then that she would wait for Xiao Sixth, I thought waiting for three or five years would already be quite enduring, but who would have thought she would wait for twenty years? And the rare thing is, although Old Lu was angry for some years, these years he has already given tacit approval, even treating the Chiang Family as relatives. If the Lu Family knew that Xiao Sixth actually has such a grown daughter...”

Old Master Jiang sighed and said, ”Old Lu can’t sway Ah Shuang, so two years ago, he mentioned to me that if Ah Shuang remains unmarried by forty, Xiao Sixth still hasn’t returned, then they would bring Ah Shuang into the Chiang Family, and let one of the young ones, like Fourth’s children, be adopted under Ah Shuang’s name, calling Xiao Sixth father, and Ah Shuang mother, effectively making them part of the Chiang Family lineage, and they can’t be deprived of their share in the future.”

Old Master Jiang hadn’t mentioned any of this to Ying Qiong, so naturally, she was unaware.
