[pseudo] what happened

Hearing Wujiang's name, the old man smiled even more, and looked at Wujiang with a little more satisfaction in his eyes.

"Okay, okay! Mingbi really gave birth to a good daughter."

He laughed and said, and then stretched out his unsupported hand to Wujiang. Wujiang immediately understood, and quickly stepped forward to help the old man, but when his eyes met Bai Lan, the grandmother The green eyes were a little more suspicious.

Although the time she had known Bai Lan was only about five years, whether it was at that time or here, when had she seen Bai Lan in such a posture?

Who is her grandfather?

"Hospitals are not the place to talk."

The old man seemed to have seen Wujiang's doubts, and said slowly.It's just that while he was saying this, his gaze was fixed on his unconscious daughter through the glass window.

"However, there are some accounts that should be settled with those young people."

Wu Jiang glanced at the old man, but wisely did not say a word, just kept silent and left the hospital with the old man and Bai Lan on the other side.Apart from Pomegranate, there were several men in suits and leather shoes following behind them.Wujiang guessed that these people should be the old man's people, or the subordinates sent by Bailan to protect the old man.

The three of them, together with Shiliu, took Bailan's car to a Japanese-style mansion about 10 minutes away from the hospital. Although the mansion is not located in a downtown area, the environment is not too remote.Even Wu Jiang, who doesn't know much about the history of Japanese architecture, can guess that this mansion has a certain history when he sees this mansion.

But for some reason, she always felt that this seemed a bit contrary to harmony, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

As soon as he got out of the car, Wu Jiang saw about ten men in black standing in two rows waiting at the door. When they saw the three of Wu Jiang appearing, they immediately bowed deeply at ninety degrees.

"Welcome back, old man, master Bailan, Miss Wujiang."

Although the loud voice and the well-spoken Chinese did not frighten Wujiang, it made her doubt Bailan's identity even more... Maybe there is also the relationship between the old man and Bailan.It's just that she didn't dare to think deeply. After all, the old man is also her grandfather after all. If Bai Lan really has any connection with the old man, then it doesn't mean that she and Bai Lan...

Just thinking about it, she doubted that she might not be able to sleep tonight, let alone what would happen after she knew the truth.

However, the contradictions in her heart were not revealed on the surface. Wu Jiang obediently and docilely helped the old man into the house as in the hospital, and then followed him and Bai Lan to a tea room.

After sitting down for a long time, a woman in a maid kimono came in with a tray with tea sets.

When seeing this scene, Wu Jiang suddenly understood what was going on with that sense of disobedience.

As far as she remembered, the old man was an out-and-out Chinese, which can be seen from the fact that he did not choose a popular suit or a Japanese kimono, but chose to wear a Tang suit.When she was still Jiang Wu, she had read in the materials that Shinagawa Chie's natal house—that is, the old man's residence in Tianchao was also an old building, and the history can even be pushed back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

This kind of his temperament can also be imagined, even if he is in Japan and does not have the same buildings as in the Celestial Dynasty, he would rather live in a hotel than live in a Japanese-style mansion-not to mention the situation like now, with the master's Stance owns the house.

So what exactly is this mansion...

"This mansion belongs to your grandmother."

The old man picked up the tea that the maid put in front of him, and said slowly after taking a sip.

Wujiang was startled, she obviously didn't expect that there was such a relationship in it.In other words, even though she knew that her grandmother was Japanese, she never thought that she still had such a property in Japan, so she was really shocked.

"So it is."

She paused, but there was still a gentle smile on her face, "Wujiang is dull, I wouldn't have guessed it if you didn't tell me, grandpa."

The old man glanced at Wujiang, and found that there was only a smile on her face, and after seeing nothing else, the satisfaction in her eyes added a little more.

Bai Lan, who was silent all the time, looked at the grandparent and grandson, something seemed to flash in the light vine-colored eyes, and then he and the old man looked at each other before he said, "Then, let's talk about it first." It's about Chie-san and the Shibata family."

He paused for a moment, then continued as Wujiang looked at him——

"uncle."

As soon as Bai Lan uttered this title, even Wu Jiang, who has always been able to maintain calm, felt that the smile on her face was about to collapse. She raised her eyes to look at Bai Lan, but found that the other party was looking back at her with a rippling smile. What made it even more difficult for her to ignore was the banter in his eyes, which seemed to be a deliberate plan to give her a thunderbolt.

Although finding out that he and Bai Lan are related, this makes Wujiang feel very... Maybe the simple thunderbolt from the blue sky and the five thunders are beyond description, but now the more important thing is...

Wu Jiang held on to the smile on her face. Although the smile had to be said to be a bit forced, she finally held on.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Bai Lan and I were still cousins," she raised her hand.

For the tea in front of you, try to make the action of holding the teacup look more natural, "I was so offensive before, I'm really rude."

It should be said that Wujiang is worthy of being a magician who is good at disguising. Even though she was frightened by such a network, she still didn't show this complicated mood on her face in the end——she insisted on maintaining a gentle smile and a respectful tone. , and the words that should be just right, seem to fully meet the standards of a well-behaved and obedient junior.

It also seemed that he didn't care about the right and wrong with Bai Lan before.

"Stop teasing her, Bai Lan."

Wu Jiang just finished saying this, as if the old man who had watched enough plays immediately spoke. In fact, he knew a little about the things between Bai Lan and Wu Jiang, but...

He looked at Wujiang, and she was still able to maintain her composure when faced with such a news that was almost equivalent to a thunderbolt to her, and she could even say such words modestly, and had to say his This granddaughter brought him too many surprises.

Even though he already knew that his granddaughter and Chie's daughter would never be mediocre, and Bailan's guarantee was there, Wujiang was really beyond his imagination.

If he only thought that Wujiang was the child of his favorite daughter when he first met, and he had no other feelings for Wujiang, then Wujiang's performance later made him more and more satisfied with this child, and now , He really regarded Wujiang as his granddaughter.

Smart, forbearing but know how to counterattack at the right time.

Such a child is indeed worthy of the surname Shinagawa.

—the last name of his beloved late wife.

"Bai Lan should have told you what those scoundrels in the Chaitian family did to Ming Bi." After looking at his granddaughter, the old man slowly opened his mouth to bring the topic into focus.

"Yes, Grandpa."

Wujiang nodded, and silently put down the teacup in his hand.

"You're going to do that?"

The old man glanced at Bai Lan calmly, and after getting the seemingly helpless expression from the other party, he turned his head to look at Wujiang again, and asked with a bit of sharpness and sharpness, "What do you plan to do now that you don't have any power?" ?”

This problem was similar to Bai Lan's problem in the car before, which made Wujiang have to suspect that the two had discussed it from the beginning.

However, no matter how many times her thoughts were turned, she was still the same as before, nothing was revealed, as if she had always been so calm and calm.

"There's always a way."

she says.

Then she continued before the old man made a statement, "Even if I don't use any power, I can

Continue to walk on the chosen path, even though the road ahead will definitely be very bumpy, but if you don’t try, how will you know if you can do it? "

"This method is not smart at all."

The old man looked directly at Wujiang, and his expression seemed to have changed from the previous kindness to majesty, "Since there is an easier way, why do you choose the path that is most likely to be hurt? How do you know the path you chose? Which path must be correct? Maybe in the end you are just a moth to the flame."

"Even if it's a moth to the flame, that's what I'm willing to do. As long as it's the path I choose, I won't regret it."

Wu Jiang replied in a gentle voice, she didn't flinch because of the old man's questioning, but she didn't tear her face as tough as before. She was still neither humble nor overbearing, her attitude was similar to that of Bai Lan's conversation, but with a bit of respect that a junior should have.

"You said that some methods are easier to help me achieve my goal. In fact, maybe it is true, but what about after I achieve my goal? That road is like a swamp full of flower fragrance. After being confused for a while, it will only It's getting deeper and deeper and there is no escape."

Having said that, Wu Jiang glanced at the "swamp" in her mouth, and found that the other party showed no signs of anger, and he was a little relieved.

If she didn't guess wrong, this is also a temptation...or a part of the trial.

Although she hasn't figured out why Bai Lan and the old man did this, but...the daughter of the Shinagawa family will not be afraid of any challenge.

"What I hope to have is a peaceful life. And this goal has never changed."

Looking at the connivance in the old man's eyes, Wujiang finally said this.

"Son, you have to know that you have to pay a price for everything you do," the old man said slowly, but his tone was not as sharp as before, and it was more like persuading Wujiang, "If you want revenge, just You must pay the price, and now it depends on whether revenge is important in your heart, or your ideal peaceful life is what you want more."

Having said that, Wujiang didn't see any persecution in the other party's eyes.

She was just about to say something, but the cell phone rang suddenly in the quiet Japanese-style room. At the same time when she heard the ringtone, Wu Jiang's face, which had not changed when she heard Bai Lan calling her grandfather uncle, suddenly changed.

Without thinking too much, she immediately cut off the phone, but the ringtone rang again after a few seconds.

"Go."

As if aware of Wujiang's gaze, the old man didn't say much, just nodded and signaled Wujiang to answer the phone.

"Sorry, sorry."

Wujiang stood up apologetically and bowed to the old man, then took the phone

Then he ran to the corridor outside the Japanese room.

Looking at the remark name displayed on the caller ID, Wujiang sighed inaudibly, and then pressed the call button to connect the call. To be honest, she could completely imagine the anger of the person on the other end of the phone .

"Hi, I'm Shinagawa."

Pretending not to look at the caller ID, Wujiang immediately said in a rude and polite tone while connecting the phone.

——If this can ease the other party's anger.

"Why didn't you answer the phone." As soon as Wujiang finished speaking, the person on the other end of the phone asked in a tone full of anger that Wujiang expected, "Also, why didn't you come back."

"A little...something happened."

Wu Jiang leaned on the wall and replied warmly, she did not choose to contradict the other party, but chose the most effective way to ease or even kill the other party's anger.After spending so many days with the other party day and night, even if there were still many things I didn't know about that person, now I know about [-]% to [-]%.

Naturally, she also knew how to calm down the man who turned his anger into death.

Sure enough, after she answered this way, the tone of the person on the other end of the phone became much better, at least not as strong as it was at the beginning.

"What happened?"

"Mom, she..." Thinking of his mother who was still lying in a coma in the ward, Wujiang didn't know how to continue, "I was plotted against by Shibata's family, and a friend of hers notified me in time. I'm in the capital, but I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Bingsheng for a while."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and it took a long time for the other party's voice to be heard.

"Is she all right?"

Wujiang didn't seem to expect the other party to ask such a question, and after a brief surprise, he smiled softly, "The doctor said that the operation was successful, and there is no danger to his life for the time being. This may be a blessing in misfortune."

She naturally knew that the other party didn't care about these things, and she would ask this question in consideration of her feelings.

If mother is gone...

Wujiang couldn't imagine what he would become like, whether he would talk to the old man and Bai Lan calmly here, and then talk to the other party on the phone.I don't know if I will rush to Shibata's family, and then wear that ring and hold ten hands to let them experience this kind of nightmare hallucination or even...

Chop them all into a meat sauce.

Fortunately, nothing happened to the mother, and she did not lose her mind because of it.

"Then when will you be back?"

"I don't know," Wu Jiang was silent for a while.

At this moment, "Maybe I have to wait until my mother wakes up, or maybe... it will take a little longer. Don't worry, I will take care of myself alone, but Meizi wants to ask you to take care of me for a while, and..."

She was rambling on, and what surprised her was that the other party not only didn't interrupt her, but even responded from time to time.

Although the answers were only short words such as "um" and "good", they still made her feel very satisfied.At least so that she can stop thinking about what the old man and Bai Lan said just now in a short period of time.

"Right, one more thing."

"what?"

"I didn't get to participate in the finals because I heard that my mother had an accident and had to rush to Kyoto," she said pretending to be sad. 3 can’t be kept anymore.”

"That kind of thing doesn't matter at all."

The other party snorted softly, with a contemptuous attitude towards this competition.

She smiled, and then continued to ask, "Then what about my attendance this semester? I have been absent many times this semester. If the school doesn't let me graduate, wouldn't I have to repeat the grade?"

"Attendance is under the control of the discipline committee."

He didn't want to answer immediately, and then changed his tone and continued, "It's not a bad thing to stay for another year anyway."

"But I don't want to repeat the grade. Master Wujiang, who is the top three in my grade, repeats the grade because of too many absences. It's too ugly to say it."

"It's against morals to fabricate rumors in Bingsheng."

Thinking of the expression on the other party's face when he said this, Wu Jiang immediately laughed out loud, "Is it going to kill someone who violates morals?"

Asking this, her tone was also tinged with a smile.

The other party didn't answer her question, but just snorted softly to show his disdain for this extremely simple question.

But Wujiang's smile faded quickly, she glanced at the sliding door of the Japanese room, she couldn't laugh at the thought of the two big mountains sitting inside, "Hey, Lark..."

"what?"

"If you say..." She paused, as if she was thinking about whether to express her question, but then she seemed to remember something, and the only remaining hesitation disappeared, "I want to I want to deal with those people, but someone told me that if I want to deal with those people, I must give up the peaceful life I hope for, what do you think I should do?"

"……Fool."

"Eh?" Wu Jiang was taken aback, not understanding why the other party would say that suddenly.

"I said you are an idiot, and you are worrying about such a stupid question," the other party snorted again, and then said slowly, "Isn't there still me, have you forgotten everything I said that day? .”

——Those who belong to me are protected by me.

—Want a peaceful future?I can give it to you.Want an ordinary life?I can give it to you too.

——But I will never allow you to escape from my side.

"It's just... I haven't forgotten it."

She knows that the other party is an awkward but gentle person—although in the eyes of many people he has always been a ferocious ghost who does not like to be in contact with people—but she did not expect the other party to say such a thing that day, and she did not expect it now He will have such an answer.

It was obviously an extremely awkward answer, but it made her have the urge to cry.

"You, you are, you must firmly remember your promise to me."

She pretended to be fierce on purpose, but if the other party was standing in front of her now, she would definitely be able to see how happy the smile on her face was.

Feeling that the mobile phone attached to her ear was faintly hot due to long-term operation, she switched the mobile phone to the other side, then rubbed her hot cheeks, "Hey, it's getting late, I still have something to do , so hang up first."

With that said, she added another sentence after a brief pause.

"I'll call you tomorrow."

After finishing the call, she put the hot phone back into her trouser pocket, rubbed her hot cheeks and returned to the Japanese room again.

The old man looked towards the door when Wujiang returned to the house, but when he saw Wujiang appearing in front of him again, he couldn't help but froze in place, and after a while he came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Look Come on, you already have the answer."

Bai Lan smiled, "Sure enough, our thousands of words are not worth a phone call from Mr. Yunque."

"Another one said that Mr. Yunque's call came too timely."

Wujiang glanced at Bailan, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he maintained the smile and sat down in his seat, "Uncle Bailan, you were joking, Gongmi just came to ask about my recent situation."

Even Bai Lan was taken aback by Wujiang's uncle.

Not to mention the psychological age of the two of them, in essence, Bai Lan in this era is not much older than Wujiang, and it is more than enough for Wujiang to call him elder brother in terms of age—although he mentioned it in front of Wujiang before. And the seniority relationship between them is also to scare Wujiang.

Who knew that Wujiang was not scared, but he himself was scared by Wujiang's name

The.

He looks so young ah hey!

Speaking of which, Wujiang also intentionally took revenge on Bai Lan, and even called Yunque by his name deliberately to show intimacy—even when she and Yunque were talking on the phone just now, she also called him by his last name.

However, the old man sitting in the upper position saw through Wujiang's tricks at a glance, but he didn't expose it, but brought the topic back to the point.

"So, what's your answer?"

"My answer is still the same as before."

Wujiang Zhengse replied, "It's just... I have something to add."

"what?"

"I'm not alone."

Feeling the temperature of the mobile phone in his pocket, it was like the temperature of his face when that person made that promise. Wu Jiang, thinking this way, suddenly found that his face was gradually getting hot.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip of the slightly cold tea, trying to calm herself down.

At least at this critical juncture nothing can go wrong.

"I still have him."

"Is that boy?" The old man sighed, "You know, my child, love is the most reliable thing but also the least reliable thing. You have to know that you still have a long way to go, and you will meet more people in the future. How do you know that the person you choose now must be the right one?"

"I really don't know."

Wu Jiang nodded in response, "But the only thing I know is that I am by my side now, only him, and that's enough."

The old man looked at Wujiang carefully for a long time, but in the end what he got from Wujiang's emerald eyes was only determination.

Just like what I saw from my wife's eyes many years ago.

It's just like what I saw through my daughter's eyes many years ago.

After a long time, he sighed, "Forget it, if you think so, then I won't force you. In fact, I came to Japan this time to find you, Wujiang. I didn't want to meet Something happened to Mingbi, maybe all of this is the arrangement of fate."

"Looking for me? What's the matter, Grandpa?"

Speaking of which, this was really beyond Wujiang's expectations.

"I want you to be the head of the next generation of the Ren family."

The old man slowly dropped such a thunderbolt, and when he saw that Wujiang wanted to refuse, he continued, "Of course, you don't need to go back to China with me at this time, you can even stay here until you graduate from junior high school I have only one daughter, Mingbi, and Mingbi has only one child, you."

"In contrast, this time the matter of the Shibata family

The situation can be handled by us. "

"us?"

Wu Jiang subconsciously looked at Bai Lan.

Bai Lan didn't evade, but nodded to meet her gaze, "To be precise, I should handle it. After all, the Ren family has already been targeted by that Alcobaleno, so it's inconvenient to come forward at this time."

"Although you said that you still have that boy, there are still many things that the current him can't do, right?"

The old man took the bait and continued, "Although the Shibata family is a group of rabble, your wings are not yet full-fledged. No matter how strong your personal abilities are, you still cannot fight against a family with a long history and social status."

"But if I handle it, I guarantee that Alcobaleno and yours won't be able to see it."

Bailan's pale vine-colored eyes reflected Wujiang's figure.

"Well, do you want to make a deal with me?"

Wujiang narrowed his eyes, "Deal?"

"As I said, I won't force you to do so for the time being. In fact, if you really become the head of the Ren family, it will be bad for you to formally become a member of my family."

Bai Lan analyzed that although Wujiang felt that what he said was reasonable, he didn't want to admit it so easily.

"It's better if I sell you a favor now and dispose of the Shibata family quietly. In the future, you only need to pay me a favor. In this way, you can still live the life you want, and I will I can get what I want."

"What do you want?"

Although Wujiang thinks this proposal is good, there are some things that need to be clarified beforehand.

"This is not within the scope of our transaction, or you will know one day, Wujiang."

Bai Lan smiled and pulled away from the topic.

"Of course, the thing I asked you to do will not affect the life you want, that is to say, after you help me complete that thing, you can still live the life you want, so it's okay ?”

"But the premise of all this is that I will become the head of the Ren family in the future, right?"

Wujiang was not persuaded so easily.

"If I become the Patriarch of the Ren family, then Peng Gelie will definitely be aware of the existence of me and the Ren family because of the relationship between Hibari Kyouya. At that time, my power in Ming Dynasty will not be convenient for Peng Gelie to help you." Do business. So at that time, the Ren family will have nothing to do with your family in the open, and I will assist you secretly, and stab Vongola if necessary—if your target is still Vongola."

If Bai Lan let her do things that directly or indirectly collapsed the entire Pengo Li, then her life without the participation of Pengo Li and Skylark Kyoya would naturally be ""

Peace".

"So what if I choose not to become the Patriarch of the Ren family?"

"Indeed, if you don't choose to become the Patriarch of the Ren family, you can indeed continue to live as you said before, or you can have nothing to do with me."

Bai Lan stroked the rim of the teacup with her fingers, and there was no trace of a smile in her pale vine-colored eyes.

"But you without any power, can you really stand by Mr. Skylark's side all the time? I think you know what the world of the mafia is like?"

"You don't want Mr. Skylark to worry about your safety when he is fighting against other forces."

"Even for the strongest guardian, there are situations beyond what it can do."

"Even if he promises to always protect you and give you the life you want, you don't want to be his stumbling block, do you?"

Wu Jiang stared into Bai Lan's eyes for a long time, and finally she sighed.

"You are really good at attacking the mind, Uncle Bai Lan."

Bai Lan's smile froze because of her address. When he was about to say something, Wu Jiang turned to look at the old man.

"If you really think that I am suitable to be the head of the Ren family, then I will give it a try, Grandpa."

she says.

"But if the Ren family is defeated by me..."

"That only shows that my family's life should be like this." The old man waved his hand and said indifferently.

For a moment, Wujiang had the illusion that the old man handed over the Ren family to her just to let his granddaughter have more bargaining chips, so that he would not be bullied by outsiders in the future.

"And what about the deal with me?"

Bai Lan leaned forward with a smile and asked, completely without the embarrassment of being called uncle by Wu Jiang before.

Wujiang glanced at him, smiled and bowed.

"Then my niece will take care of you next time, uncle."

She paused.

"Please don't let Peng Gelie and Gong Mi find out that it was your handwriting. I think if it was you, uncle, these should be minor problems, right?"

"I said, can you stop calling me uncle, Wujiang."

Bai Lan tried hard to maintain a smile and asked.

"I'm only a few years older than your Yunque-kun."

"How is this possible."

Although she reluctantly accepted the proposals of these two, Wujiang was still a little aggrieved after all, so the smile on her face at this moment also fully revealed her current mood-unhappy.

"After all, you are my elder."

Push her to this point, even if she can't

Revenge will not make the other party feel better.

The Shibata family is, and so is Bailan.

One day, she will...
