"Confrontation" - Chapter 55: New Year's Eve

page views:1 Publication date:2023-04-07 08:16:31

The day before Lunar New Year's Eve, upon learning that Lin Shu had also returned to Banshan, Jiang Yao invited her to play tennis at the community's tennis court.
Lin Shu looks alright; although she's lost some weight, her complexion is good.
"Has he contacted you?" Jiang Yao started gossiping as soon as she saw her.
Lin Shu didn't speak. She went into the stadium, put down her things, and pointed in a certain direction with her eyes. "See that woman peeking around? She's the new housekeeper I hired. She takes care of me and follows me everywhere." She emphasized the word "take care of".
“Your family is really…” The Lin family’s discipline was so strict it was almost pathological.
“He contacted me.” Lin Shu smiled, her tone casual, but the smile in her eyes and brows was hard to hide. “He said everything is fine.”
Jiang Yao laughed out loud, "This kid is quite proud." Even after all this, he's still saying everything is fine.
Jiang Yao's serves were fierce, and Lin Shu missed them several times. Even when it wasn't Jiang Yao serving, Lin Shu was still being forced to retreat.
Jiang Yao couldn't help but bring up the old story again, "The lady across from you is Ms. Jiang Yao, who has won the A City Junior Women's Tennis Championship for four consecutive years."
Lin Shu chuckled, but she was in a good mood and didn't bother arguing with this silly kid.
This year's Lunar New Year's Eve was a little special because Jiang Yao's father wasn't home.
Sometimes things just happen by chance. Mr. Jiang had just returned from a business trip to S City when local cases appeared there. After the epidemiological investigation, Mr. Jiang was upgraded to a secondary close contact and was asked to go into quarantine.
So the three of them ate their meal together while video chatting.
What should have been a heartbreaking scene was instead hilarious, with Jiang Yao laughing without a care in the world. It's so funny; who else would encounter something like this?
Mr. Jiang was still bragging to them on the other end of the video call that his special assistant had asked someone to bring him a bottle of old Moutai. "As long as I have this, sigh, I can have a good New Year no matter where I am."
His mother and he had a sweet argument, and Jiang Yao took the opportunity to send Jiang Qiyan a message, asking him what he was doing and if he had eaten.
Jiang Qiyan had just lit a cigarette on the terrace when he received her message.
The room was still in chaos. Old Man Jiang had smashed the dishes to pieces and was now pretending to hit his eldest son, while the eldest son, Jiang Qixing, stood silently. The others tried to persuade him but couldn't, and the scene was quite chaotic.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Qiyan smiled and replied, "Watching the show."
Jiang Yao replied with a lot of question marks.
Jiang Qiyan explained that it was a family farce.
During the meal, as usual, Old Man Jiang began to scold his eldest son. Jiang Qixing was an excellent criminal lawyer, but most criminal lawyers were straightforward and not good at the flattery and social skills of the business world, which Old Man Jiang disliked quite a bit.
Jiang Qixing had been scolded in front of the whole family so many times that he was used to it. Who knew that today, he would suddenly explode with such a thunderous outburst.
Old Jiang was a womanizer and had never stopped having lovers. Today, Jiang Qixing suddenly said that one of Old Jiang's former lovers had given birth to a son and was now desperate and came to ask for help, so he took care of the mother and son.
The child was conceived through IVF, and the woman went to great lengths to collect all the used condoms.
Who would have thought that Old Man Jiang, over sixty years old, could still have a child? That woman is really ruthless.
Old Man Jiang was so angry he almost fainted, repeatedly pressing him for details about where the mother and child were. Jiang Qixing, however, remained silent, like a sawed-off gourd.
That woman was shrewd; she knew that going directly to Old Man Jiang wouldn't get her anywhere, so she went to find Jiang Qixing instead.
The terrace leads directly to the backyard, where a delicate octagonal pavilion stands nestled among the bamboo grove. The moon isn't full tonight, but it's very bright.
Outside the door, there was a gentle breeze and a bright moon; inside, there was a mess of chicken feathers.
Jiang Miao opened the door and went out, standing next to Jiang Qiyan. "Uncle," she said timidly, "what should we do now?"
She had always been a little afraid of this uncle who was only ten years older than her. Firstly, because although they weren't that far apart in age, they were from different generations; secondly, because he seemed too cold, or rather, indifferent.
"Your grandfather will handle it." He stubbed out the cigarette that had been between his fingers.
“He’ll handle it…” Jiang Miao muttered. “I know this kid’s appearance won’t do us any good, but they are two living, breathing people.”
To keep quiet, Old Man Jiang will definitely go to extremes; those two, one big and one small, will definitely not be alright.
Jiang Qiyan glanced at her sideways and said, "You said it yourself, this child is no good for us."
This means they just don't want to deal with it anymore.
Jiang Miao was met with a cold shoulder and felt she had made a fool of herself. She really was her grandfather's son; he was truly heartless. Meanwhile, her family seemed as upright as if they had lost their lineage.

Here's an interesting tidbit: Jiang Qiyan utterly despises his father, yet he shares many traits with him.
My next book is about their past lives; I'm currently obsessed with the past life trope... I've even written the synopsis.
