Chapter 2348: Chapter 2284: He Cannot Let Her Down
Early the next morning, Chiang Xiao woke up and immediately sat up from the bed.
Suddenly reminded of Meng Xinian’s slightly jealous words from yesterday.
What?
Her brother-in-law had instructed him?
Because of jealousy, he was even willing to acknowledge Cheng Cheng as his brother-in-law.
Heh.
That man is really childish when he gets jealous.
However, last night Meng Xinian finally gave her Cheng Cheng’s contact information. She hadn’t even called him yet, when Cheng Cheng’s call came in first.
It was easy to guess she was talking to Meng Xinian on the phone, because he had tried calling several times without success.
After speaking with Cheng Cheng, Chiang Xiao felt somewhat relieved.
Cheng Cheng knew he was transferred to D State for a mission, so once he arrived, he gave it his all, in every aspect.
First, he won over his subordinates, then pried out all the information he wanted, and he also got a thorough understanding of D State.
At the same time, he found trustworthy people to help him keep an eye on Lu Shuangshuang.
The most important point is that today he would accompany Ah Liu directly from the inn to the Jiang Family.
As he said, D State is now boiling over.
The news that Sixth Young Master Jiang is not dead and is preparing to return to the Jiang Family to claim his identity has spread, from the government, business guilds, down to the common folk; everyone is discussing topics related to Sixth Young Master Jiang these past two days.
Outside the inn, people are even trying to see how Sixth Young Master has become.
Many still remember how Sixth Young Master Jiang was twenty years ago—a youth like jade.
There are all kinds of rumors among the populace.
Some say he is seriously ill, and he came back just to die on his native soil.
Others say during turbulent times, he encountered danger, suffered various injuries. Some speculate disfigurement, others disability.
Of course, there are gentler guesses too.
For instance, drifting outside for so long, he might have already married a village girl somewhere, living an ordinary farmer’s life for over a decade, now having no trace of the airs of a young master from a great aristocratic family.
Some say his return is to contest the family inheritance, but, having been missing for twenty years, while the Jiang Family has been managed by other masters helping Old Master Jiang, if Sixth Young Master Jiang were to return, he wouldn’t qualify to take over the Jiang Family.
There’s all sorts of speculation.
Chiang Xiao was mentally prepared for this in advance, so she didn’t find it strange.
She also believes Ah Liu can handle these matters on his own.
Honestly, besides that hidden foe lurking in the dark, Chiang Xiao is not worried about anything else.
As for Lu Shuangshuang...
Cheng Cheng told her, Lu Shuangshuang had already arrived at the Jiang Family two days ago.
Chiang Xiao asked if he had seen Lu Shuangshuang, but Cheng Cheng said no.
After Lu Shuangshuang arrived at the Jiang Family, she didn’t come out again because she is now also the center of the turmoil.
The Lu Family’s Shuangshuang has steadfastly waited for Sixth Young Master Jiang. Previously, people thought she was foolish, waiting in vain for a lifetime, not expecting her to really guard through until the clouds cleared to see the bright moon, and Sixth Young Master Jiang returned.
Now the people of D State are speculating over meals, wondering how deeply Sixth Young Master Jiang will be touched by Lu Shuangshuang, and when they will have their grand wedding.
Cheng Cheng said to Chiang Xiao, "Everyone thinks, no matter if Godfather married outside, he cannot wrong Lu Shuangshuang."
"Married outside or not? If father truly married, how can he not wrong her?"
Chiang Xiao’s face turned dark, she asked, "Do they mean he should divorce his wife to marry Lu Shuangshuang?"
She already had a sense of foreboding. Although she knew it earlier, it seems the pressure from the gossiping public would be heavier than imagined.
