Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2726 - 2662: Nothing Good to Say

"Uncle, I mean, Xiao Sixth still requires a spouse, correct? Xiao Sixth is barely in his thirties, still quite young. It can't be that only Jiang Xiao will be his child, can it?"

Jiang Jiwu cast a sideways glance at Jiang Shiheng.

On this particular matter, Old Master Jiang shared some agreement.

He wouldn't actually compel Jiang Shiheng to find a wife immediately, but just as Jiang Jiwu pointed out, Jiang Shiheng was still young. It was difficult to envision him remaining solitary for his entire, long life, and Old Master Jiang felt a pang of sympathy.

However, regarding the words Jiang Jiwu was about to utter next, Old Master Jiang instinctively knew they would not be pleasant.

"So, what is Jiwu's intention?"

"Granduncle," Jiang Jiwu's son, Jiang Shihua, chimed in, "My father's point is that after our careful consideration, the Jiang Family still aligns quite well with the Lu Family, and we've maintained a cordial relationship with them for many years. To sever this connection entirely simply because of Lu Shuangshuang, don't you believe that's regrettable and perhaps too extreme? In truth, this entire predicament might have been orchestrated solely by Lu Shuangshuang, and the rest of the Lu Family might merely be inadvertently ensnared by her actions?"

Old Master Jiang responded with a chuckle rather than anger.

"Lu Shuangshuang alone is responsible for this entire affair?"

"Precisely, we should blame Lu Shuangshuang for her deceitfulness; she managed to fool us all. For the past few days, the Yun Qing and Yun Cun siblings have been weeping incessantly. Lu Shuangshuang deceived not only us but also them, these two innocent children. They always envisioned becoming Xiao Sixth's children, and Xiao Cun, in particular, consistently viewed you, Granduncle, as a great-grandfather."

"Yun Qing and Yun Cun, you absolutely must have a discussion with them. They are, after all, still part of the Jiang Family by blood. Why must they be passed on to Xiao Sixth?"

"Indeed, indeed, I have spoken with them, and these children are understanding; they are exceptionally mature and have eagerly anticipated meeting Sister Jiang Xiao soon," Jiang Shihua stated. "However, my underlying point is that it's truly unnecessary for us to alienate the Lu Family in such a manner. I surmise that Old Master Lu would certainly not concur with this course of action either. Xiao Sixth could, in fact, consider pursuing another young lady from the Lu Family..."

As anticipated, the subsequent remarks were far from agreeable!

Old Master Jiang was provoked into laughter bordering on anger.

Before he could even voice a response, Jiang Qiuyan could not restrain herself from speaking.

"Shihua, what exactly are you contemplating? Xiao Sixth has already rescinded his engagement with Lu Shuangshuang, and now you propose he engage with another young lady from the Lu Family? If this news were to spread, wouldn't people ridicule us, suggesting our Jiang Family is incapable of finding any other suitable marriage partners? Is it destined to be an endless cycle with the Lu Family?"

What an utterly foolish notion this was!

"What is inherently wrong with that? If our two families unite their strengths, what can others possibly say? If they choose to gossip, how does that impact us? Once Pingzhou in State D achieves unification and our business endeavors expand outwards, isn't that a mutually beneficial outcome? Furthermore, President Li currently requires Lu Zhenggang's backing; you need to take that into consideration."

"Enough, there is no need for further discussion. Regarding the Jiang Family's business matters, you need not concern yourself. As for Ying Qiong and Hanzhong over there, rest assured, there is no need for worry. To be perfectly clear, I state here:

"From this day forward, you are strictly forbidden from engaging in any private dealings with the Lu Family. Any business decisions pertaining to the Lu Family must be submitted to me for approval! That is all!"

With that declaration, Old Master Jiang stood up, his face contorted with anger, and departed the hall.
