"The ceremony is about to start. Why are you four still here? Hurry over." Before anyone could pay attention to Xiao Ziqing's question, a person who looked like an elder greeted the four of them.

Put away the chessboard, Jiang Li left first, Jiang Huai and Jiang Lin followed closely, chatting and walking, Xiao Ziqing stared at his nostrils, thought for a while, and followed obediently.

When I got to the hall again, I realized that there were a lot more people. It seemed that there were all over the place.

Standing behind their respective elders, Jiang Lin pinched her fingers in idleness. The mobile phone was confiscated when she entered the door just now, which made her feel like she was about to take an exam.

It didn't take long for the old man to come in from the outside with someone helping him, and the people who were sitting also stood up to welcome the centenarian.

When people sit down again, the business has just begun.

"Today, everyone who can be in charge of each family is sitting here, so I won't write any more, and just talk about today's affairs." The old man had a serious face and heavy eyes, holding the pear blossom chair with his hands, with a sad expression.

Everyone's hearts couldn't help but hang in their hearts. On the whole, the branches of the Jiang family have developed well in recent years, and they have been going smoothly. What's the big deal?

"My Jiang family was hit hard a hundred years ago and fled in a hurry. Now it has finally made a comeback. All the branches are very upbeat and have made great contributions to my Jiang family. However, as the saying goes, prosperity must decline. Banquet..."

When the old man said this, he seemed to be unable to continue, so he raised his head and closed his eyes.

There was silence below, everyone here is a genius, why can't they understand the second half of this sentence, now after several generations of hard work, the Jiang family has blossomed everywhere, and has become a powerful party in their respective places.

If it is integrated like today, it will be a giant, but the big tree attracts the wind.

"There used to be a rule in the Jiang family. No matter what kind of development they have made abroad, they must return to the family after many years. The family decides the direction of development and allocates resources to focus on development. This was established by the ancestors, and the Jiang family has gone through this way several times. The integration has developed to this point," the old man's mood improved a bit, and he continued, "but today is different, this set of rules has been eliminated, and it's time to take a new path."

"I declare."

The old man stood up from the chair and looked at the hall full of children and grandchildren. The people below also stood up spontaneously. Jiang Lin felt that after today, things would be different.

"From then on, each family no longer has to go back to the original family. They are separated. The eldest is the Jiang family in L city, the second is the Jiang family in the capital, and so on. There is no relationship between each other. The members of each family After a hundred years, there is no need to bury him in the ancestral grave."

To put it bluntly, Nuoda's Jiang family disappeared without a trace. The families who were originally blood relatives looked at each other and became strangers in the future.

Those of the younger generation, such as Jiang Lin and Jiang Li, were not impressed. After all, some people were meeting each other for the first time, but those of the older generation, even Mother Jiang and a few uncles, were a little moved.

But the first ones who couldn't bear it were a few old people in their seventies and eighties. After all, they were brothers once.

Seeing the red eyes of the seniors, Jiang Lin and Jiang Huai went out first to give the seniors some time to spend together.

"Hey, I didn't expect it to happen this time. We had to separate after we met." Jiang Huai, Jiang Lin and the other four returned to the stone pavilion in the backyard, but there were some similar things around them one after another. Junior.

The four of them were sitting in the stone pavilion and talking, when they heard a commotion at the door, Jiang Li's expression changed, Jiang Huai's expression also turned ugly, he glanced at Jiang Lin awkwardly, and walked towards the door together with Jiang Li.

Somewhat inexplicably, Jiang Lin reached out and grabbed Xiao Ziqing who was just about to slip away, "What's going on?"

After failing to escape, Xiao Ziqing sat down obediently with a bitter face, "That...well, let me say."

Seeing Jiang Lin frown, Xiao Ziqing admitted without saying a word, "The person outside is Jiang Yuan, from the second uncle's family, a well-known dude in the capital. I heard that he is not clear with the second cousin. Knowing this, then what, sister, can I go?"

While listening, Jiang Lin's eyebrows were twisted into twists, what's going on?

Holding Xiao Ziqing's collar in one hand, Jiang Lin got up and walked out, "Come on, follow me to see what's going on."

When Jiang Lin went out with the bitter Xiao Ziqing, the scene had basically stabilized. Jiang Huai stopped Jiang Li.

"The family is unlucky! The family is unlucky!" Tang Shu was shaking with anger, pointing at Jiang Li and cursing.

Jiang's mother pulled him, "Who's not? Children are too difficult to manage now, Yiru, don't be angry, let his brother persuade you, so as not to make you angry again."

"You really like that Jiang Yuan that much?" Jiang Huai asked Jiang Li again.

Jiang Li looked at his father who was half dead with anger, and then at his elder brother who was frowning beside him, "If I don't like it, I don't want to make the old man feel better."

Jiang Lin: ...This kid is uglier than himself.

One sentence almost made Jiang Yiru angry, and some people around couldn't help snickering. After looking around, Jiang Lin didn't see the person named Jiang Yuan, it seemed that he had been dragged away a long time ago.

Walking forward, before Jiang Lin had time to say a word, Jiang Mu glanced over, "Yi Confucianism, look at your family Jiang Li also said that he was just angry with you, this is all nonsense. Then why are you angry, right?"

Glaring at Jiang Li again, Jiang Yiru didn't say anything more, but his anger obviously subsided a lot.

"Brother, what do you mean by that? Where is Yuanyuan, my family?" Just as the matter was about to end, the second son of the second old man's family also came, looking at Jiang Yiru and questioning sharply.

After all, it's just this one child, whoever is not the eyeball to protect him, even if he is his own brother, he can't scold him.

"You still have the guts to ask me? Hurry up and take that embarrassing person of yours back home. Everyone who lost in the capital knows it's not over yet, and you even ran to the old house to embarrass yourself!"

This sentence successfully aroused Jiang Yiru's anger again, pointing at his brother and scolding him.

"The embarrassment is also mine! Brother Guan, what's the matter with you? I'm going to find Yuanyuan now. If there is anything wrong with Yuanyuan, you are not my brother!"

The second child is also very short-tempered, he rushed out, fearing that something might happen to his baby.

"You think I care about your little brother?!"

Hearing from the second child, Jiang Yiru refused to let him go, and the two brothers quarreled with each other.

But after all, Jiang Yiru is still an elder brother, and the second child in the Jiang family can't say anything, and he will leave as soon as he pushes Jiang Yiru away. When Jiang's mother saw the situation, it would be inappropriate not to persuade him to fight, "Second brother, you first Don't worry..."

"Sister-in-law, don't talk too much! This is a matter between us brothers, get out of the way!"

It was because of anger that no one could speak well. As soon as Jiang's mother opened her mouth, she was interrupted by the second child with a wave of her hand, and she wanted to go out again.

Jiang Yiru, who was just pushed away, was extremely angry. When his younger brother didn't have this child, he was a gentle, clear-headed and shrewd person, but for some reason, he was always confused by this unlucky child!

Jiang Lin watched from the side, and Mother Jiang kept moving between the two of them, but there was nothing she could do. The more you looked, the smaller the angle of eyelids closed, the more dangerous it was.

Finally, when Mother Jiang was pushed back two steps by the second child, Jiang Lin stepped forward and pulled Mother Jiang behind him, "Enough!"

"If you want to make trouble, make trouble, what are you pushing my mother for?!"

Mother Jiang looked at her wrist being held by Jiang Lin, and her eyes turned red when she heard what Jiang Lin said. After so many years, since the relationship was severed, the child was finally willing to admit himself again.

Jiang Yiru snorted coldly and turned his head to look away. The second child still wanted to leave, but he couldn't leave this mess behind. He looked at Jiang's mother who was guarded by Jiang Lin and bowed, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I missed it just now. , call back."

Seeing his younger brother's quick apology, Jiang Yiru didn't keep his cold face anymore, and bowed to Jiang's mother, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong too, I'm sorry."

After all, they are over half a hundred years old, and they will lose their minds in a moment of urgency, but as long as they have a little time, they can quickly recover. The two immediately stopped the conflict and turned their heads to apologize.

Jiang Lin looked sideways at Mother Jiang who had been staring at him, frowned, and let go of her hand, feeling a little annoyed, why didn't she control herself?

"Lin'er, Lin..." Mother Jiang looked at Jiang Lin with red eyes, and just called out to Jiang Lin twice, when suddenly her eyes went dark, her body fell uncontrollably, and her consciousness gradually collapsed.

"mom!"

Looking at Jiang Mu who suddenly fell to the side, Jiang Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly supported her, and blurted out the title he hadn't called out for many years at this moment!

Everyone was dumbfounded by Jiangmu's sudden fainting. Jiang Lin hugged Jiangmu, and for the first time, his heart felt suffocated. He just felt as if his hands and feet no longer belonged to him, and the whole world would leave him soon. .

She didn't know how to get to the hospital in a daze, and when Jiang Lin came back to her own consciousness, she was already sitting in the corridor of the hospital.

Jiang Huai and Jiang Li sat beside Jiang Lin, Xiao Ziqing didn't care about being afraid anymore, and stood in front of Jiang Lin and hugged her.

Calmly pushing Xiao Ziqing away, Jiang Lin looked at Jiang Li, "Is there any smoke?"

Sure enough, he found the right person. Jiang Lin took Jiang Li's cigarette case and lighter and walked to the smoking room next to him.

She hasn't smoked for a long time, and hasn't seen Mother Jiang for a long time. For Jiang Lin, she thinks she should hate Mother Jiang, but it is undeniable that she has never stopped loving her mother from her previous life to the present. desire.

Once again, Mother Jiang, who hadn't come back in the previous life, came back, which made her feel better. Although she didn't admit it on the surface and rationally, it was the fact.

The previous two slaps kept flashing before my eyes, the back view of leaving resolutely outside the car window, the indifference when signing the severance agreement, but in the end, only the red eyes of Jiang's mother just now, and Lin'er's voice remained in front of my eyes.

The cigarettes turned into soot one by one and fell into the ashtray on the window sill. The number of cigarettes in the box decreased one by one, and the number of cigarette butts increased one by one. Jiang Lin almost seemed to be punishing and anesthetizing himself.

I don't know how long it took, but the footsteps behind him caught Jiang Lin's attention. Looking back, Chen Yu was standing at the door, looking at him.

Taking the cigarette away from his mouth and flicking the ash in the ashtray, Jiang Lin exhaled foul air, "You told me last time that she has a physical problem, what's going on?"

Walking to Jiang Lin's side in two steps, Chen Yu pressed the cigarette in Jiang Lin's hand to death in the ashtray, "You...sorry, judging from the results of this time, Aunt Jiang still has no more than a month left."

"Is she awake?"

Without asking why, Jiang Lin was silent for a while, with a calm face, but a little too calm.

"Already awake, go and have a look."

After listening to Chen Yu's answer, Jiang Lin walked out with his head held high, nothing unusual.

Pulling back Jiang Lin who was next to him, Chen Yu stretched out his hand and completely hugged Jiang Lin into his arms, his knuckles turned white with force, "There are some things that need to be looked at carefully, I hope you can spend the last time with Aunt Jiang Here, no regrets."

Holding Chen Yu's clothes tightly, Jiang Lin didn't say a word, but in a place where Chen Yu couldn't see, the calm mask quietly shattered, and the pain on his face was revealed for the first time.

After a while, Chen Yu, who was smelling of smoke all over Jiang Lin, coughed twice, feeling that Jiang Lin was in the same mood, Chen Yu patted Jiang Lin's back vigorously, "Smoking so much, do you want to Let you die early or want to choke me to death?"

"Take you to be buried with me." Jiang Lin let go of his hand, and Chen Yu let go of Jiang Lin in a timely manner, but stopped joking, and patted Jiang Lin's shoulder solemnly, "Go to your exclusive ward and take a shower before going , the smell is too strong."

Even Jiang Li's cigarettes are good, and the smell is not too strong, but Jiang Lin can't stop smoking like this.

After listening to Chen Yu's words once in a while, Jiang Lin went to the ward where he used to live, took a shower and changed clothes, and when the smell on his body was almost gone, he went to Jiang's mother's ward.

In Nuo Da's ward, people had almost left, and Jiang's mother was sitting on the hospital bed in a hospital gown, looking at something, when she saw Jiang Lin coming in, for the first time, a real smile appeared on that always elegant and noble face .

"Lin'er is here? Come and see, this is a photo of your father when he was young, see if he is handsome?" Waving to Jiang Lin, Jiang's mother looked at the things in her hand again.

Jiang Lin's mood was almost extremely complicated, and he walked to the bed step by step. For the first time, Jiang Mu, who had removed her delicate makeup, also had fine lines around her eyes, without the indifferent shell. It turned out that she was a person of flesh and blood.

Following Jiang's mother's words, Jiang Lin saw the younger version of his father, without the serious, calm, and vigorous temperament. The person in the photo was wearing a mountaineering suit, standing on the top of the mountain, smiling back sideways, and raising his hand to say hello.

The handsome and three-dimensional facial features look particularly good in the yellowed photo, and the gentle temperament of the sun is even more dazzling. It was the first time he saw a photo of his father, Jiang Lin couldn't believe it, and looked at Jiang Mu.

"Look, in fact, you and your father are more similar in appearance, voice, and temper. You are five points like me, and I think he is six points. That point is that he and I look alike."

Touching the photo with her fingers, Mother Jiang smiled, and her eyes were full of nostalgia. In this blink of an eye, most of her life has passed.

Jiang Lin didn't speak, she was silent, and she didn't know what to say.

Turning the page of the photo, this one is not Jiang Lin’s father’s, it’s a girl who looks teenage, wearing a princess John’s dress, sitting in the garden of the castle, in front of her is a whole set of exquisite tea sets and some snacks, The girl looked at the camera, smiling calmly and generously, with two points of innocence and beauty.

"This is me, Lin'er. Do you know how much this table and a set of tea sets cost?" Mother Jiang stopped looking at the photo and turned to Jiang Lin next to her.

Over the years, countless treasures have passed before Jiang Lin's eyes.Looking at the somewhat old picture quality, Jiang Lin thought for a while, "The tea set is handmade in modern times and has no historical blessing, but the material is valuable and the workmanship is fine, and the price is around 30."

"As for the table and the matching chairs around it, let's say at least a million. This should be specially provided by the royal family." After Jiang Lin finished speaking, Jiang's mother pointed at the girl's skirt. Jiang Lin understood, and continued, "It's all handmade, embellished with pearls and gemstones, and diamonds. A conservative estimate is 1000 million. The necklace around the neck is the one that was auctioned in Warsaw a few years ago. It was sold at a high price of 5000 million. The bracelet, earrings, and headgear are all Those of the same series add up to about that much.”

After finishing the valuation in one breath, Jiang Lin looked at Mother Jiang. Of course she knew that this girl was Mother Jiang when she was young. Although there was no familiar indifference and elegant false smile on her face, there was still a similarity between her brows, but it was only in the photo It's more like a fairy who strayed into the world.

He guessed the person, but Jiang Lin didn't know the meaning of Jiang's mother asking him to evaluate.

Seeing Jiang Lin's doubts, Jiang's mother went on to say, "This kind of teacup can be seen everywhere in your grandfather's house. I have at least hundreds of such skirts, without adding other clothes. My clothes filled an entire building."

"This set of jewelry is my birthday present. I also need to add a new custom-made sports car and a real estate. These tables and chairs are the most common ones in your grandfather's house. Moreover, your grandfather's house has this kind of castle. For four or five seats, the annual maintenance fee is a huge expense, not to mention the things inside."

Hearing Jiang Mu's words, Jiang Lin was unmoved, after all, this was commonplace for her.

"However, the expenses of such a huge family can only rely on the family property and title awards. Behind the face, there are huge economic loopholes. The prosperity on the surface and the emptiness behind it constitute the so-called nobleman."

Finally got to the point, Jiang Lin looked at Mother Jiang, and could vaguely guess what was going to happen next.

"Do you think it's a coincidence? Just when your father and I fell in love and were talking about marriage, the family's financial problems finally emerged. Your grandfather and the others went from resolutely opposing this marriage to actively promoting it, while we were young and ignorant. In this way, we got married in peace and happiness on the surface.”

The brain that has been tempered by the mall reacted almost instantly, and Jiang Lin immediately figured out all the causes and consequences, "So after you got married, the grandfather's family wanted to annex or suck the financial resources of the father, but just found out the conspiracy You are caught off guard, so you can only make the worst plan, divorce, right?"

Smiling gratifiedly, Jiang's mother was very satisfied with her daughter's quick response, "Yes, we wanted to divorce first, but unfortunately, at this time, I was pregnant with you. For you, your father and I decided to see it first." Look, hold on to your grandpa's house, and ask your grandpa for help."

"With the support of your grandfather and great-grandfather, we finally managed to stabilize your grandfather's family, but within two years, they began to try to use you as a bargaining chip, and their appetite grew. They wanted to annex your father's property completely. Therefore, we can only treat you indifferently, and pretend to be at odds with the husband and wife."

"Then why did you leave? Also, when you left, why did you still want to kill me?" Jiang Lin finally asked the question he wanted to know the most, and Jiang Lin was a little agitated, and he dug his fingernails into the palm of his hand.

Sighing, Mother Jiang looked sad, "We are still too young after all, your grandpa still has to take care of those branches, and your grandpa is not in good health, so he can't help us all the time. Later, we leaked it in front of your grandpa's people. If you found a flaw, your grandfather sent someone to pick you up the next day, and I almost collapsed, and your father finally exchanged all the business in Europe for you."

"After this time, we felt that we couldn't wait any longer, and I had no choice but to leave. When I left, you always wanted to follow me, and I couldn't bear you, but at the same time, I hated myself and you for bringing such deep pain to your father. , so I thought, if I am gone, your father will be relieved if you die."

Speaking of this, Mother Jiang put down the photo in her hand and covered her face with her hands, in extreme pain.

Jiang Lin, who was sitting by the bed, looked at Jiang Mu like this, and didn't know what it was like, just like knocking over a five-flavored bottle, there were all kinds of feelings.

After calming down, Mother Jiang continued, "But after I walked out, I really couldn't bear you to bear the price for our mistakes, so I called the old housekeeper, who went to rescue you and heard the news that you almost died, I……"

Mother Jiang couldn't continue, tears kept falling, a hand appeared in the hazy vision, and handed over a tissue, Mother Jiang raised her head and looked at Jiang Lin, "Lin'er, Mom really regrets..."

"Stop talking, that's enough." Jiang Lin managed to control his expression, and let out a sigh, that's enough, for her, these are really enough.

In tears, Mother Jiang finally smiled again, "Don't worry, Lin'er, you and your father have suffered so much for so many years, mother will not let you bear it for nothing."

Holding Jiang Lin's hand, Jiang's mother took out the tablet from the bag next to her, "When I divorced your father, we discussed the transfer of assets so that your grandfather's family will never look at your father again. fat."

"Using the concept of custody, we transferred one billion yuan on the surface, and another billion yuan in private. The two billion yuan was an astronomical figure at the time. With this money, I reopened it overseas. The new situation, after so many years of management by your father and me, now, it is time to hand it over to you."

On the page of the tablet, Jiang's mother showed Jiang Lin the detailed information and the company's equity transfer letter of an overseas company named JL. Jiang Lin had heard of this company. The group is still ahead...

Looking at Jiang's mother almost in shock, Jiang Lin's complicated mood was dominated by shock, what's going on?In his own name alone, there will be two of the world's top [-]?Is this a surprise?scare!

"Your father and I have arranged everything for you, but he didn't wait until this day, it doesn't matter, I will be able to find him soon. Your grandpa's family has given me the highest quality of life and life for more than 20 years, I can't Let them down, but your father is always the person I love the most, so we can only do this, Liner, but I have wronged you."

Jiang's mother reached out and hugged her long-lost daughter, and sighed with relief. Finally, she was able to see her lover without any regrets.

Feeling the warmth of his mother for the first time, Jiang Lin was stunned. The tear glands that had never collapsed were out of control for the first time. Why did it take so late, why did he say it now?Why should she be suddenly warm when she is used to the cold, and then it is fleeting? !

Why didn't the misunderstanding be cleared up earlier?Why can they watch her struggle for so many years so cruelly?Why do you always tell her it's for her own good, but no one ever asks her if she wants it?Ask her whether she chose a series of numbers that are useless at all or the warm life of so many years?Why do you think about sacrificing yourself, but never ask others if they want their sacrifices?

They were all relieved, but what about her?

With trembling hands, Jiang Lin wanted to push Mother Jiang away, telling her that he was not rare anymore, but his hands were shaking uncomfortably, and he still didn't push it down. Instead, he hugged the embrace that he had been looking forward to for more than [-] years...
