Chapter 49: A Passerby in a CEO Romance Novel (49)
Jiang Mansion
The Jiang Mansion, which had been vacant for more than 20 years, finally welcomed back its owner.
The man, tall and slender, sat in a mahogany armchair. He wore a simple white shirt and black trousers, the buttons fastened meticulously. A pair of silver-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, concealing the sharpness in his eyes and giving him an innocent and harmless appearance.
He leaned back in his chair, legs crossed, eyes closed, as if resting.
Holding a photo frame containing a family portrait, her slender fingers gently stroked the edge, seemingly unintentionally, yet not quite.
"Sir, the young lady and young master are back."
The butler, dressed in a black suit, came to report, and the man opened his eyes. A faint light flashed by, but no one saw it.
"Yes, have them come to see me."
A clear, cool voice rang out, and the man's gaze fell on the family photo, his eyes rippling with emotion.
"Yes."
The butler responded softly and quickly withdrew.
Before long, two sets of footsteps were heard, followed by two voices calling out in unison, "Uncle!"
The man didn't turn around, but coldly said, "Kneel down!"
His emotionless words stunned Jiang Wandie and Jiang Yanzhe.
The siblings looked at each other, saying nothing, but obediently knelt down and called out again, "Uncle."
Jiang Yu then turned around and looked at the siblings with a scrutinizing gaze.
He carefully placed the family photo on the table, then stood up and walked over to the two of them, saying with a half-smile, "You two are quite capable, aren't you?"
"You guys actually went so far as to steal my sister-in-law? Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Originally, he thought that the siblings were not used to life in the US because they had grown up in China. But it turns out that their purpose in coming back was to steal his sister-in-law from him.
He even brought his uncle's men to rob someone. If Xiao Jing finds out, what will he think of his uncle?
Jiang Yu felt that all his good manners vanished when he encountered these two nephews who caused him both heartache and headaches.
"But Uncle, it was my brother who took the person away from us in the first place!"
Jiang Yanzhe argued logically, saying that although the real situation was a bit complicated, in the end Rong Jing did indeed take Le Yan away, so let's just ignore the process and focus on the result.
Jiang Yu was speechless at his words. After a pause, she said, "Now that Xiao Jing and that girl are married, she is your rightful sister-in-law. It's wrong for you to try to take her away like this."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanzhe's expression turned fierce. "So what? You can get divorced after marriage! You can also be widowed!"
Then he was punished by Jiang Yu.
A sharp slap landed on Jiang Yanzhe's head, leaving him completely bewildered.
As the uncle, Jiang Yu showed no mercy when slapping his nephew, saying, "Listen to what you're saying!"
"There are so many women in the world, why do you have to fixate on your sister-in-law?"
Jiang Yanzhe gritted his teeth in anger, his face full of resentment. He wanted to argue, but Jiang Wandie held his hand down.
"Uncle, Xiaoze was confused for a moment. I will talk to him properly."
In front of Jiang Yu, Jiang Wandie always behaved sensibly and obediently, so in today's matter, he directly attributed it to Jiang Yanzhe's leadership and only reprimanded Jiang Yanzhe.
Seeing Jiang Wandie's innocent expression, Jiang Yu softened his expression, reached out and pulled her up, saying, "Uncle knows you love Yanze, but you can't always indulge him like this. What if he does something wrong one day?"
“I know, Uncle.” Jiang Wandie nodded vigorously, then, a thought crossed her mind, and she added, “Uncle, my brother and I have already told my brother the truth today. Would you like to go see him? It would be good…”
"Meet your sister-in-law."
Jiang Wandie lowered her eyes slightly, concealing her scheming mind.
Jiang Yu had no suspicions, but he was worried about his eldest nephew.
"What was your brother's reaction? Was he heartbroken?"
Even though he was only a little older than his nephews, Jiang Yu treated each of them like a child and worried about them a lot.
Even kneeling, Jiang Yanzhe still managed to interject, his eyes full of displeasure. "What sadness? He's not sad at all. He's just happily marrying Leyan and has no time to care about anything else."
Jiang Yu immediately glanced at him and said coldly, "Quiet, I didn't ask you to speak."
This nephew is too extreme in his thinking. No matter how much he loves him, he has to forcefully guide him, otherwise he might really commit a crime one day.
After reprimanding Jiang Yanzhe, he looked at Jiang Wandie, pondered for a moment, and said, "Tomorrow you will come with me to Lanting."
Lantingyuan is the most prestigious villa area in Haicheng, and Rong Jing lives there.
Jiang Wandie nodded, then glanced at her younger brother who was still kneeling, and asked hesitantly, "What about Xiaoze?"
"He's not going."
Jiang Yu spoke with absolute certainty.
He was going to see his eldest nephew, not taking his youngest nephew to steal his sister-in-law.
"He is not allowed to see your brother until he has given up on that idea."
Jiang Yanzhe suddenly stood up: "Why?!"
"Because I'm your uncle."
Jiang Yu remained expressionless. "Butler, take the young master away."
Before Jiang Yanzhe could say anything, he was pulled away by the elusive butler at his command.
Jiang Wandie looked at her younger brother with concern, her hands struggling to wrap around him.
"Uncle, Xiaoze is just being childish. He doesn't really want to steal my brother's wife."
Jiang Yu glanced helplessly at his innocent and carefree niece and sighed, "He's not a child anymore."
He's eighteen, an adult, and mentally mature. That stubborn look of his is hardly childish.
"Alright, Xiaodie, you should go and rest too. Remember to get up early tomorrow."
Seeing that Jiang Wandie was still going to speak well of Jiang Yanzhe, Jiang Yu interrupted her and sent her back to her room to rest.
He glanced back at the family photo on the table, then picked it up with a sigh.
"Sister, Xiao Jing is married and has a family now. How about A Yu takes you to meet his daughter-in-law tomorrow?"
The next day, before Jiang Yu could set off for Lantingyuan, Rong Jing and Le Yan had already arrived at Jiang's mansion.
After learning that his uncle had returned to China and was currently staying at the Jiang Mansion, Rong Jing planned to visit him.
He hesitated, but the root of his hesitation lay with Leyan.
"Yan Yan, those siblings are also at the Jiang Mansion. Do you really want to come with me?"
After being kidnapped by the Jiang siblings one after another, Rong Jing was worried that Le Yan would feel uncomfortable seeing them.
Le Yan smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I'm just going with you to pay respects to our elders. I'm sure they wouldn't dare to do anything."
Even if they dare to do something, she won't panic. As long as she stays by Rong Jing's side, there will be no chance for them to take action.
Rong Jing squeezed Le Yan's hand and calmly said, "Yes, I won't leave your side either."
