Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2649: 2585: The Worrywart Girl

For a while longer, the two continued their conversation, and then Old Master Jiang suddenly recalled something. With a sigh of regret, he stated, “Frankly, my initial intention was to arrange for Little to visit someday. She was meant to formally make her presence known within the family and meet everyone. However, it appears more prudent for her to remain in the Capital for the time being and not come over yet. If she were to return, who knows what those individuals might resort to.”

She would undoubtedly become a primary target.

They absolutely could not expose Chiang Xiao to such perilous circumstances.

In the Capital, with Li Hanzhong present, Chiang Xiao's safety is ultimately more assured than if she were in D State.

Jiang Shiheng cast a glance at Old Master Jiang and, with a chuckle, remarked:

“Grandpa, if my memory serves me right, when you first arrived in the Capital, your primary objective was for me to marry Lu Shuangshuang swiftly and have a son. Little wasn't as significant to you then.”

His words were quite direct.

Old Master Jiang appeared somewhat embarrassed by his bluntness and cleared his throat, saying, “I did have those thoughts initially, but perspectives evolve. Back then, I had no idea Little was such an intelligent child.”

At that time, he had thought to himself, what expectations could be placed on Chiang Xiao, a girl raised in a remote mountain village? The Jiang Family perpetually required heirs, and the prolonged disappearance of Jiang Liu had cast an immense shadow over him. Consequently, upon locating Jiang Liu, his immediate priority was to expedite matters.

Such as ensuring Jiang Shiheng married and produced offspring.

Nevertheless, after becoming acquainted with Chiang Xiao and navigating these events, his viewpoint has undergone a complete transformation.

Throughout these years, he had never truly understood Lu Shuangshuang. What right did he possess to compel Jiang Liu into marriage?

Furthermore, if one possesses capability, gender is irrelevant. Little has proven to be an exceptionally valuable asset.

“Hmm, if Little were aware of how highly Grandpa regards her now, she would undoubtedly be pleased.”

At this juncture, Sun Han entered the room.

“Sun Han, did you convey everything to Little?” Observing his expression, Jiang Shiheng discerned that the report had been delivered.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of resignation.

Recalling how Cheng Cheng had been subjected to Chiang Xiao's taunts for many days following his own predicament, he surmised that the girl would not let him off easily.

What recourse was there?

The sole recourse was to endure her reprimands, as they had, after all, brought about these troubles for her.

Old Master Jiang, for reasons unknown, also felt a pang of guilt and anxiously inquired of Sun Han, “What did Little say? Did she comment on her great-grandfather being incompetent?”

In the past, he had been eager to bring Jiang Liu back swiftly. But after his return, so much had transpired, all unfolding within D State, revealing the lapse in his oversight of D State over the years, rendering his management lax and ineffective.

Consequently, numerous vulnerabilities had emerged within D State and the Jiang Family.

If Chiang Xiao were to criticize him, he would find himself utterly speechless.

Sun Han paused for a moment.

Chiang Xiao had indeed expressed her frustrations quite vociferously over the phone. Factual accuracy dictated that she had indeed voiced her opinions regarding Old Master Jiang's stewardship of the Jiang Family and D State.

These were sentiments that he felt reluctant to relay.

He could perceive that Chiang Xiao was genuinely incensed and deeply worried when she articulated these concerns.

“She certainly did.”

Jiang Shiheng sighed, exhibiting a measure of helplessness, and stated, “It appears that in the future, that girl will have considerably less faith in our capabilities. We are bound to face her justifiable doubts for some time.”

The next time he assures her to be at ease, Chiang Xiao will most certainly not be convinced.

Sigh.

“Xiao Chiang mentioned she would find time to visit,” Sun Han announced.
