Chapter 2256
2256 I Still Have to Eat With Sister Nian in the Imperial Mansion Tonight
Jiang Xianrou would not do such a thing if she had any scruples about Tang Wanru. However, she still did it. It could be seen what a selfish person she was.
No matter how well Tang Wanru treated her, she could still leave without any psychological burden at this critical moment.
Jiang Zongnan’s mood was equally heavy. He thought for a moment and stopped Jiang Yao, then said, “Don’t make a fuss.”
Jiang Yao looked at him. He did not expect his father to say that.
Jiang Zongnan had something on his mind, and his expression worsened. He pursed his lips and said, “Your grandfather doesn’t know about this yet. If you blow it up, I wonder how angry the Old Master will be if he finds out.
“Your grandfather’s health isn’t good. He can’t take any more torture.”
“I know.” Jiang Yao pinched his palm. He was not worried about Jiang Xianrou. He was more worried about his mother in the police station. “But Mom…”
“She’s just a suspect. This has nothing to do with her. The police won’t make things difficult for her. They just can’t let her go home for now.”
Jiang Zongnan gradually calmed down, and his elegant face regained a little color. “The police will naturally let her come back when we find your sister.”
“I understand,” Jiang Yao replied.
He had no better solution. He was no longer in Tian Chen.
Among the people he got to know all these years, only Xu Jishen could help. However, the matter became tricky when it involved Qiao Nian.
Jiang Yao knew this.
Secondly, he was only worried that his mother would freeze to death after spending the night in the police station. As for Jiang Xianrou… Ever since the last time, his love for her had faded a lot.
This time, Jiang Xianrou ran away without a care. Like Jiang Li, Jiang Yao did not agree with her actions, so he did not want to care about her.
“Dad, are we still meeting with Qiao Nian tonight?” Jiang Yao asked what he was most concerned about.
Jiang Zongnan patted his shoulder and retracted his hand. His expression softened slightly as he said, “Your grandfather is going. If we don’t go, he will definitely guess that something happened. We have to go. Besides, it’s not easy for Nian Nian to come back. I haven’t seen her in a long time.”
Jiang Zongnan instructed worriedly, “Be careful when you get there. Don’t let it slip. Let’s pretend that nothing happened. Don’t mention it in front of your grandfather and Nian Nian, understand?”
Jiang Yao nodded and agreed.
Jiang Zongnan said the same thing to Jiang Li. The latter bent down and picked up the sunglasses and mask on the sofa, then said with a straight face, “I know. I won’t let it slip. You guys also take care. It’s not easy for Nian Nian to come back. At least, don’t make her unable to eat well because of this.”
Jiang Xianrou had caused so much trouble, and Nian Nian had endured it on account of him and the Old Master until Jiang Xianrou made an unforgivable mistake in the end.
She deserved it.
He only hoped that he could at least let Qiao Nian have a peaceful meal this time.
Jiang Yao and his father had better not mention it at the dining table, lest they make Qiao Nian unable to eat peacefully.
Jiang Zongnan’s face turned green. “I already told you not to say it. Would I mention it myself?”
“Weren’t you like this in the past? You always spoke up for them in the end.” Jiang Li did not look at their expressions. He picked up his things and walked out. “I’m leaving. See you at the Imperial Mansion tonight.”
Jiang Zongnan and Jiang Yao were silent as they watched him leave the house without looking back. They did not stop him in the end.
