1578 The Older, The Wiser

"Yes." The girl was always very patient when she spoke to him. She nodded, took her things, and left.

Jiang Weishang reluctantly watched her leave. When Jiang Zongnan rushed in, his gentle expression disappeared and his face turned cold.

"What now?"

His attitude was completely different from how he treated Qiao Nian.

Jiang Zongnan knew that he was still angry. He rubbed his temples helplessly and entered the ward awkwardly. He told Old Master Jiang everything.

Including Qi Yan's visit today.

He tried to keep it simple so that Old Master Jiang wouldn't be angry.

However, Old Master Jiang was still furious after hearing the entire story. His turbid but sharp eyes suddenly looked at him and asked, "Jiang Xianrou is your daughter and Jiang Yao is your son. What about Xiao Li? What is he in your heart?"

"Dad, that's not what I meant." Jiang Zongnan lowered his head awkwardly. "Jiang Li is also my son."

"That's enough." Jiang Weishang didn't listen to the rest of his words and interrupted him directly. "Since Jiang Li is your son and she's already riding on your head to behave atrociously, don't say that you're from the Jiang family! Don't hit her face. She's about to smash your face. If you don't have the ability to hit her back, don't care how Nian Nian handles this matter."

Jiang Zongnan blushed and knew that he had misunderstood him. He explained helplessly, "Dad, I don't mean to reconcile. I'm just worried about Nian Nian. Qi Yan…"

"Heh." Old Master Jiang seemed to have seen through everything. He wasn't anxious at all. He looked at him and their eyes met. He said calmly, "You're confused. If she can really control Nian Nian as she said, why would she come to you and tell you so much? Since she lowered herself to look for you, it means one thing—Nian Nian has suppressed her! Thus, she has no choice but to use you to control Nian Nian."

Jiang Zongnan's tense heart relaxed slightly, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed. He sighed and said, "That's good."

Old Master Jiang looked at him. Seeing that he was not so biased that he didn't even care about his son, he said, "In short, you still treat Xiao Li as your son. Don't be too biased. Although the spot to go to the independent continent is precious, to be honest, what do you think she can do even if she goes?"

"I'm not strong enough. Even if I force my way in, I'll only be a backdrop." Old Master Jiang's words were very impolite.

He did not name anyone, but Jiang Zongnan knew that he was talking about Jiang Xianrou. It was useless to say that she had squeezed into the Pharmacy Association.

In the past, Jiang Zongnan would definitely have argued, but this time, he was silent for a long time and finally did not refute Old Master Jiang's words.

He also felt that it was useless even if Jiang Xianrou went to the independent continent.

The situation there was very complicated. It wasn't a level that ordinary people could come into contact with. If Xianrou rashly came into contact with things that her strength should not come into contact with, she would easily suffer a backlash.

He had also mentioned this to his wife. Unfortunately, Tang Wanru was very determined and looked forward to Xianrou going there. In addition, Jiang Xianrou also wanted to go, so he couldn't say too much.

Jiang Zongnan no longer insisted and changed the topic. "Then, Nian Nian…"

"You don't have to worry about Nian Nian. She does things better than you." Old Master Jiang was very straightforward and did not give him any face.

Jiang Zongnan was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything.
