Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1580: Chapter 1277: (Part 3)

"As you wish."

The butler said, turning around to enter the door, and with a "creak," the door shut tightly.

"Dad, does Granduncle not want to see us?"

"Uncle, is it because of something involving my dad that Granduncle still won’t forgive our family?"

Speaking were Jiang Bowen’s younger daughter and Jiang Boxun’s eldest son.

"Big Brother, I think we should head back."

This was Jiang Pingting’s voice.

Jiang Boxuan stood by, gazing at the tightly closed door, pondering over something.

"Let’s wait a little longer."

Jiang Bowen said to his daughter and nephew, his younger sister.

After returning from abroad, his sister paid to purchase a two-entry siheyuan in North City.

Although not large, and incomparable to the courtyard in the old house, it was sufficient for their family.

Having returned to the country several years ago, he and his third brother worked at his sister’s trading company, and given he had some experience managing a company, business was getting better year by year.

With profits, they weren’t just spending without earning; their family’s lifestyle wasn’t bad, though it couldn’t compare to before the bankruptcy abroad.

Nonetheless, the family was quite content.

Recently, he heard the owner of Jiang family old house had returned, and upon inquiry, learned his elder uncle moved into the old house to retire. He hoped to visit during the Spring Festival to mend the relationship between the two sides.

After all, relying on a big tree provides shelter. If they could gain favor from the main family, their second family’s small company wouldn’t fear lack of orders, and their days would become increasingly prosperous.

However, given the current situation, he realized he was overly optimistic.

Elder uncle and their cousin... clearly didn’t want to see anyone from their second family.

The truth was indeed like that, Jiang Boya really didn’t want to meet Jiang Bowen or anyone from the second family.

Even though the two sides had already separated a long time ago, and abroad, the main family has always taken care of the second family, in the end? The second family didn’t show gratitude, disregarded family ties, and in pursuit of the main family’s assets, they repeatedly struck hard and even caused a death. With this incident ongoing, there was no chance of reconciliation between the main and second house.

Over twenty minutes passed, and the tightly closed door remained shut. Jiang Bowen grimaced slightly and, with a bitter smile, said to Jiang Pingting and Jiang Boxuan, "Let’s go back; it seems indeed elder uncle doesn’t want to see us."

"It’s our family’s fault, not elder uncle’s."

Jiang Pingting, a gentle woman, said as she held her young niece’s hand and called the two nephews to follow, walking with Jiang Bowen towards the car parked nearby.

"Third brother!"

Seeing Jiang Boxuan persistently lagging behind, Jiang Bowen halted and called out.

"Coming."

Jiang Boxuan responded, stepping quickly to catch up.

"Big Brother, during the Spring Festival, let’s come over a few more times. Maybe elder uncle’s heart will soften, and he’ll welcome us back."

Listening to Jiang Boxuan’s words, Jiang Bowen shook his head, "Elder uncle won’t change his mind so easily, moreover... moreover, back then what we second family did almost cost Jiang Boya his life. Even if someday elder uncle forgives us, Jiang Boya would not."

"But Brother Boya ultimately survived, and now he has a daughter and grandchildren. As they say, surviving a disaster brings future blessings for Brother Boya."

"Ah! Bad Rourou, you got ahead of me!"

Lin Dan pretended to be upset but quickly smiled, offering Kang Li her New Year wishes.

...

After lunch, Mo Yan bid farewell to Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen, also saying goodbye to Big Brother Kang and others, finally focusing his eyes on Kang Li: "Sister Kang Li, we’ll be going now, Feng Yi and I."

"Alright." Kang Li nodded, smiling, "I’ll see you off."

"Sis, no need."

Feng Yi refused, saying, "It’s very cold outside; don’t go out and freeze." After Feng Yi’s words, Mo Yan also declined Kang Li’s offer to see them off.

Although the snow stopped at midnight last night and today was sunny, much of the snow on the ground had melted, especially on the road, where snow and water were invisible.

Melting snow is colder than falling snow.

Besides, today’s wind is particularly strong, like knives cutting one’s face.

Given this, Mo Yan and Feng Yi hoped Kang Li wouldn’t catch cold seeing them off.

"Let’s go."

However, Kang Li ignored their words and stepped out of the reception room.

Seeing this, Mo Yan and Feng Yi had no choice but to follow.

"Uncle Mo, Uncle Feng, Guoguo will see you off too."

Guoguo said in a childish voice and began toddling after Mo Yan and Feng Yi.
