Chapter 411: Shock! The paper man I raised turned out to be... 14
Jiang family: "..."
To be honest, it's a good thing that Jiang Li doesn't care or hold grudges. In fact, this is the purpose of their coming here today.
However, they originally thought that they would first appeal to her emotions and then reason with her, and if necessary, have her parents and her twin siblings improve their family ties to achieve this goal.
Instead of being like now, Jiang Li, who should be in a passive position, is like the master, controlling the initiative of the conversation.
There are so many of them, how could they be scared by a little girl?
Jiang Wangshan looked at his granddaughter with a distinguished temperament, and glanced at the crowd surrounding him. He was disappointed to find that just by looking at them, these carefully educated young people in the family were actually suppressed by Jiang Li.
He became more and more certain of his guess: something must have happened in these eighteen years that the Jiang family was unaware of.
Otherwise, how could a girl who grew up in the mountains and had never seen the modern world develop such a personality and temperament?
But the two Jiang family members who were responsible for keeping an eye on Jiang Li swore in front of him in the afternoon, guaranteeing that Jiang Li had never gone down the mountain and had never met outsiders, and even the old woman who took care of her was a carefully selected mute.
This not only did not make Jiang Wangshan feel relieved, but made him even more worried.
He sat down slowly and smiled kindly: "Xiao Li, I heard from your cousin Jiang Rong that you refused to enter the Jiang residence during the day and said that it was not suitable to go in today. Why?"
Jiang Li glanced at Jiang Rong and said, "It's not that I dislike you, cousin, you are such a grown-up, but you can't even convey a message clearly. Didn't I make it very clear? Did I figure it out?"
Jiang Rong: “…”
He said it!
Grandfather asked this on purpose. Who knew that Jiang Li would be so...arrogant when facing the head of the family.
But for now, he could only bow his head and take the blame.
Jiang Wangshan: "...You calculated it? How did you calculate it? When did you learn divination?"
Jiang Li chuckled and looked at him strangely: "What are you asking, Grandpa? Aren't the Jiang family born with the ability to tell fortunes?"
All the Jiang family members present: ...It’s not me, I don’t have it.
Jiang Wangshan said with a sullen face: "I'm talking to you nicely, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm also talking to you nicely." Jiang Li still spoke in a relaxed tone, "Didn't cousin Jiang Rong see with his own eyes that I wasn't talking nicely?"
Jiang Rong: “…”
Jiang family: "..."
Jiang Wangshan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you threatening your grandfather, your parents, your uncles and elders?"
"Don't dare to threaten me. Grandpa, you are so old. What if I scare you to death?"
Jiang family: "..."
Those who are a little timid, like Jiang Rong and his son, no longer dare to look at Jiang Wangshan's expression.
"Rebellious girl! How can you talk to your grandfather like that?" Jiang Tianjing scolded at the critical moment.
Jiang Li ignored him: "So, what happened to the Jiang family this afternoon?"
Jiang Tianjing was so angry that his face turned blue when he saw that she didn't give him face in front of so many people.
Jiang Wangshan tapped the floor lightly with the cane in his hand to calm his eldest son down.
Jiang Wangshan said: "During dinner, the gas pipeline in the Jiang family's ancestral home exploded, but fortunately no one was injured."
But the affected area is very large, and the house needs to be repaired, so it cannot be lived in in the short term.
He stared at Jiang Li: "Did you really calculate it?"
It's not that he didn't suspect that it was a man-made disaster. As soon as the accident happened, he immediately arranged for people to investigate it thoroughly and also told his fortune himself.
As a result, whether from a scientific investigation or the answer obtained by his metaphysical divination, this was indeed an accident.
This result shocked him.
If it was really an accident, doesn't that mean that this granddaughter who had been exiled for eighteen years had a higher talent and achievement in metaphysics than herself?
“Is this hard to calculate?”
Jiang Li looked at the Jiang family with a puzzled look: "Isn't the Jiang family known as a family of Xuanmen? My cousin also said that Grandpa is the most respected master of the Xuanmen in Beijing. Could it be that you can't even do such a simple thing to avoid danger and seek good fortune?"
The muscles on Jiang Wangshan's cheeks twitched slightly.
"Who taught you this?" he asked.
Jiang Li refused to cooperate again.
She looked at Jiang Wangshan disapprovingly: "Grandpa, although you are so old, there are some things that I should say. People can't be so naive. I said I can tell fortunes, but do I really know how to do it? What if I lied to you? You believed it without even verifying it."
She shook her head as she spoke: "It's really hard to imagine that the Jiang family can still flourish in your hands."
"..." This time, veins on Jiang Wangshan's forehead really bulged.
A slippery thorn who is good at fighting alone and suspected of fortune-telling. This is Jiang Wangshan's evaluation of Jiang Li.
"Stop making trouble." He restrained all his expressions and said coldly, "What do you want?"
Jiang Li was still as warm and gentle as ever, and asked in surprise: "Didn't you ask me to pick me up, Grandpa?"
Jiang Wangshan remained silent. It was indeed he who ordered the person to be brought back.
But when he saw Jiang Li, he knew he was wrong.
He thought he was just adding another mouth to feed, but now it seems that she was just going with the flow.
On the way here, Jiang Tianjing suggested sending her back.
Jiang Wangshan shook his head tiredly: "Why do you think I suggested taking her home? The fate of the Jiang family is in turmoil. I have been in seclusion these days and have calculated it countless times. The key to cracking it lies in Jiang Li."
He couldn't figure it out. Did he interpret the dream wrongly eighteen years ago? Wasn't the way he handled his granddaughter wrong?
"What do you want?" he asked again.
Jiang Li also put away his smile.
She is tall, with deep features. She always has a bright smile on her face and looks gentle and sunny.
But when she stopped smiling, the advantages of her facial features became more prominent, and the corners of her lips pursed up revealed a cold taste.
A silent feeling of oppression fell on everyone in the Jiang family.
Jiang Li said calmly: "I heard that I am my father's eldest daughter."
Jiang Tianjing was a little nervous for a rare moment, and nodded: "Of course, you are your mother and I's first child, we are all looking forward to your birth."
Jiang Li asked again: "Dad, are you grandpa's eldest son?"
Jiang Tianjing nodded.
Jiang Li smiled faintly: "Well, I think you, Grandpa, are old and you are bound to be weak. And you, Dad, don't seem to have any ability."
She ignored everyone's ugly faces and came up with a brilliant idea: "Why not let me inherit the family business and become the new head of the Jiang family!"
