Chapter 1141 - Severe Punishment Rather Than an Apology
Panda Novel
"I'm asking you because I want to see if you realize that the most important thing to do in this matter is to apologize to Nian Nian. It seems that I'm thinking too much. You don't have her in your heart and haven't thought about apologizing at all."
Old Master Jiang looked lethargic.
Jiang Zongnan bowed his head guiltily like he wanted to say something. "Dad, I…"
"There's no need to say more." Old Master Jiang raised his hand with a calm expression. "If an apology isn't sincere, there's no need to force it. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink!"
"Master Nie is right, it's my fault. In the beginning, I shouldn't have held unrealistic thoughts to think that you, like me, sincerely want to make up for the blood and kinship that Nian Nian has lost over the years…"
Silence ensued.
Jiang Zongnan became more and more at a loss. He didn't know where to put his hands, and he couldn't face his old father.
Jiang Xianrou's and Tang Wanru's actions made him feel ashamed and shameless.
"Let's split up the family." Old Master Jiang stopped being long-winded. After being full of disappointment, he made a decisive decision.

"Only when the family is separated can this family be peaceful. Everyone should take their share. In a hundred years from now, the two of you will move around if you can, but if you can't, you will have less contact in the future…"
Jiang Zongnan quickly raised his head and lowered it again. He was not surprised that the old man would make such a decision. He pinched his hands and smiled bitterly before agreeing. "Okay."
"I remember that this old house is in your eldest brother's name. Find a time to move out!" Old Master Jiang was very clear and straightforward.
"Dad!" Tang Wanru couldn't accept this result.
There had been a lot of trouble at home since Qiao Nian came to Beijing, and now the family was going to break up.
It didn't matter to her if the family was separated, but the house they had lived in for half their lives would be given to the eldest branch. How could she accept this result?
Old Master Jiang didn't look at her. His expression was dignified as his gaze landed on Jiang Zongnan. He said, "Your niece will be studying in Beijing for the next three years. In the past, it didn't matter who lived in this house. Now, your brother needs a house too. This house is under your brother's name, to begin with. There's no reason for Nian Nian to rent a house outside. What other solution is there?"
This house represented more than a million-yuan mansion.
There was also another meaning.
Old Master Jiang had been shrewd and wise all his life, and it was impossible not to know the meaning behind this house. When he opened his mouth at this moment, Jiang Zongnan took a deep breath and looked at him, his eyes darkened and he felt a little uncomfortable.
It was just that he was ashamed, so he did not refuse Old Master Jiang's proposal.
"I'll listen to whatever you say, Dad."
"Zongnan! You…" Tang Wanru's eyes darkened, and she almost fainted.
She would rather apologize to Jiang Zongjin and Qiao Nian just now than accept the old man's decision.
She never thought that the old man would really ask them to move out!
Could it be that the old man meant that the Jiang family would be handed over to Qiao Nian to inherit?
No way!
She pinched her palms, which were covered in a thick layer of sweat. She couldn't understand why her two sons and one daughter, apart from Jiang Li, would choose Qiao Nian, who had come to Beijing from Rao City less than half a year ago, as the future successor of the Jiang family.
Ridiculous!
If the future successor chosen by Old Master Jiang was Qiao Nian, then Xianrou would not only lose face this time but also their future position in the upper-class circle of Beijing.
