Old Mrs. Jiang's expression changed slightly, she opened her mouth, but finally chose to remain silent.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a little solemn, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Hongxi and Jiang Huainian.
After a while, Mrs. Jiang smiled slightly and spoke again, her voice somewhat kind: "Huai Nian, as a young member of the Jiang family, you have always performed very well. Now, you are about to take on the important task of general manager of the company, which is a great recognition of your ability. I believe you will be able to take on this position and lead the company to a more glorious future."
Jiang Huai smiled and said slowly: "Thank you grandma for your praise and trust. I will definitely not let you down."
Mrs. Jiang nodded, then turned to the crowd: "Okay, let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
After dinner, Mrs. Jiang returned to her bedroom alone. The kind smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a deep gloom. She sat on the edge of the bed with a frown on her face.
It was not until Jiang Hongxi came back that she put on her smile again and turned around to greet him.
Pretending to be relaxed, he asked, "Master Xi, why did you suddenly ask Huai Nian to return to the group? Didn't his own company just go public? He should be very busy."
Jiang Hongxi glanced at her and said, "Shuyi, you should be aware of Huai Nian's abilities. He has done a great job in his own company. That's why I chose him to return to the group."
Liang Shuyi's smile became a little stiff. She looked up at Jiang Hongxi and said with a faint smile: "But, didn't you promise me that you would not let Guo Rou's children interfere in the company's affairs?"
Jiang Hongxi frowned slightly and said, "I did promise you that Ah Yu would have no position or shares in the company. This is my promise to you, and I have never broken my promise."
Liang Shuyi gritted her teeth and said: "But Huai Nian..."
Jiang Hongxi interrupted her and said, "Huai Nian is the child you have watched grow up. You often praise him as your most well-behaved grandson. Are these compliments just talk?"
Liang Shuyi was speechless by Jiang Hongxi's words. She was silent for a while. She knew that Jiang Hongxi was telling her clearly that he did keep his original promise and did not let Guo Rou's children get involved in the family business. However, for Jiang Huainian, his position was different. He belonged to the next generation and no longer needed to be bound by that promise.
She smiled faintly and said, "I understand. Huai Nian is indeed an excellent child, but I hope you won't regret this decision."
Jiang Hongxi knew that Liang Shuyi had always been resentful of Jiang Yu, and said in a deep voice: "Shuyi, I have wronged you over the years. I have also cultivated the two children, Bai He and Bai Hao, with my heart, but they lack the courage and the spirit to lead the Jiang family to a new height. Huai Nian is different. He has innate leadership and decisiveness, which is what the Jiang family needs in the future."
Liang Shuyi said, "Master Xi, I hope you can give Bo He and Bo Hao more opportunities. And Cheng Ping and Cheng Wang, they are all your descendants. I hope you can treat them equally and let them prove themselves."
Jiang Hongxi said: "Shuyi, I understand your thoughts, I will naturally treat you equally."
Liang Shuyi chuckled and said, "Well, since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything more. I just hope Huai Nian can live up to everyone's expectations."
Jiang Hongxi gently held her hand and said, "Shuyi, this family is so stable and prosperous because of you. I always value your opinions and suggestions."
Liang Shuyi smiled calmly, as if all her emotions were cleverly hidden under that gentle smile. She gently withdrew her hand, stood up, tidied her dress elegantly, and said softly: "Master Xi, you are always so good at talking. However, I hope you can remember that this home is not only yours, but also belongs to all of us."
After a few seconds, she smiled and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to check out the Chinese medicine I made for you."
Liang Shuyi smiled slightly, said no more, and turned and left.
She knew that the battle had just begun, and she was already prepared.
***
When Jiang Huainian came out of the Jiang family's old house, it was already late and the lights were just coming on.
He drove directly to An Ran's house.
An Ran was standing on the side of the road, carrying a bag, with a mysterious smile on her face. When she saw Jiang Huaian's car slowly approaching, she waved.
Jiang Huai stopped the car.
Anran opened the car door, bent down and sat in the passenger seat, put the bag at her feet, and blew on her hands. The temperature had dropped again in the past few days.
Jiang Huainian turned up the air conditioner in the car, gently stroked her hair, and said softly, "Why don't you wait for me at home? It's cold outside."
An Ran smiled, a smile as bright as a flower blooming on her face, and said, "I wanted to see you earlier."
Jiang Huainian reached out his hand and tightly wrapped Anran's small hand with his large and warm hand. Warmth came from his palms, and he rubbed her hands gently, using his body temperature to dispel the coldness on her body.
An Ran blinked, a warm smile appeared on her lips, and she said, "Okay, it's not cold anymore, let's go home."
Jiang Huai Nian nodded and said softly: "Well, let's go home."
He started the car and said, "Grandpa announced today that I will return to the group as general manager."
An Ran asked, "Isn't it true that everyone else is not enjoying this meal?"
Jiang Huainian smiled and said, "Yeah, anyway, I'm quite full. As for them, who cares about them?"
An Ran sighed softly and nodded: "Family businesses are always like this, with constant conflicts of interest."
Jiang Huaian said: "I have to report to the group the day after tomorrow. Don't be nervous, I'm here."
An Ran put her hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: "I will go back to Future Technology tomorrow to hand over my work, and then I will fight side by side with you."
Jiang Huaian smiled and nodded, his eyes full of doting: "Yes, let's go together, no one has to be afraid."
Back at Shenzhen Yipin, Jiang Huai Nian held An Ran's hand. The word "Fu" was pasted on the door, and the New Year atmosphere was still there.
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Huaian suddenly said, "Close your eyes."
An Ran closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. She didn't have any sense of ritual for festivals, but since she had been with Jiang Huainian, she had become particularly sensitive to festivals. Twelve o'clock was Valentine's Day, their first Valentine's Day.
Jiang Huai Nian said: "Open your eyes."
The warm star lights lit up, and roses were everywhere in the house. Roses of various colors were intertwined together, like a sea of flowers.
Then, Jiang Huainian suddenly took out an exquisite little box and slowly opened it, revealing a pair of rings.
He looked at An Ran affectionately and murmured, "An An..."
An Ran paused, panicked and nervous, and said subconsciously: "I...I'm not ready yet."
