After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows Chapter 728 - 718: Looking for Your Little Maternal Grandfat

At the bottom of the apartnt building.

Jiang Wenjia looked at the million-dollar red luxury car in front of her, her discontented face reflected in the window’s tinted film.

She had been so pleased when she saw Jiang Wenhu being driven out of the Jiang Family’s gate, and now she regretted it just as much.

If only she’d known her cheap niece would have such good fortune today...

"Alright, stop looking. No matter how much you stare, the car won’t beco yours. It’s cold, let’s head back!"

Jiang Wenjia flung aside her husband’s hand as he tried to pull her along, "Liu Xuhui, oh Liu Xuhui, you work as the sales director of our company, and you’re usually so eloquent. Yet just now you couldn’t even utter a sound, leaving all the socializing to ."

She then pointed at her daughter, "And you, even though your aunt and I have different mothers, Jiang Lingxi is still your blood-related cousin. Such a good opportunity, and you don’t even know to seize it, standing there like a dazed mule not budging!"

Seeing their daughter nearly brought to tears by the scolding, Liu Xuhui couldn’t hold back his annoyance, "And how was your performance any better just now? You didn’t even say much before getting kicked out. Back then, you and your parents acted dishonorably, ignoring them for years, and now that you need them, you want to cozy up? It’s too late! I shouldn’t have brought the kid with you, causing such a scene, and for what?"

"Do you think I enjoy going out of my way to please them? It’s all for our family. As a sales director, you should know that we’ve only secured a few orders this year. If things don’t get better, we’ll be bankrupt by next year. Do you still dream about driving luxury cars and living in villas? That’s just wishful thinking. But if Jiang Lingxi could endorse our products, even if just by taking a photo with them and posting it online, we’d sell out our stockpiled costics!"

"But that path clearly isn’t an option!"

"Let think," Jiang Wenjia pondered carefully, "Right, Uncle, back when Jiang Wenhu hadn’t cut ties with the family, she was closest to our Uncle."

"Where did this Uncle co from? I’ve never heard your family ntion him?"

A hint of unease flashed across Jiang Wenjia’s face, but she quickly covered it up, "He moved to another city before we got married."

After being married for over a decade, even the slightest change in expression didn’t escape Liu Xuhui’s notice, "Did he also cut ties with your family like your big sister did?"

"No, there was just a small misunderstanding with the family in the early years, mainly with my grandfather, who has already passed away. I never offended him. Let’s find a way after the New Year to track down Uncle’s whereabouts; it shouldn’t be hard. Once we find him, we can persuade him to co back. Once he’s back, Jiang Wenhu would have to visit him, and then we can have a good talk."

If it wasn’t hard, why haven’t you searched all these years?

Liu Xuhui forced himself not to dwell on the reasons, nodding gloomily, "Let’s talk after the New Year."

After enjoying the good life from the Jiang family’s small business for so many years, going back to square one would definitely be hard to adapt to.

Moreover, their daughter’s upcoming study abroad would require a substantial amount.

As he thought of this, he turned his head to the side, "Where’s our daughter?"

The couple quickly set off to find their daughter, who had quietly slipped away amidst their argunt.

On the car back to Xiyuan.

Jiang Wenhu looked at her daughter driving ahead and proactively spoke, "We didn’t plan to ntion that Jiang Peng and Jiang Wenjia ca looking for us to you and your father. As long as I firmly stood my ground and refused to help, they couldn’t do anything. You two are so busy, there’s no need to waste ti on them. I just didn’t expect you’d run into them this ti by chance."

"And there’s also Little Xu; he’s actually searching for your little granduncle."

"Little... granduncle?"

What kind of relationship is that?

"Yes." Jiang Wenhu had a touch of nostalgia on her face, "When I was bullied by Jiang Wenjia and her mom, Jiang Peng turned a blind eye, only your little granduncle, who wasn’t much older than , really took care of . He was the only one in the family who blessed my relationship with your dad back then. It’s just that after I cut ties with Jiang Peng, I left with just the clothes on my back and didn’t get to see Uncle, nor did I have his contact."

"A few days ago, Jiang Peng called . We barely spoke a few sentences before we started arguing, and I directly told him that in the Jiang family, I only acknowledge Uncle; everyone else isn’t related. Jiang Peng was so furious, he accidentally let slip that Uncle had long moved out of the Imperial City with your little grand-aunt to live elsewhere. I guess Uncle also couldn’t stand the ss in the Jiang family and left."

"I ntioned your little granduncle when we were eating dinner the other night. I don’t know if he’s doing well after all these years, so your brother volunteered to find him."

Hearing this, Jiang Lingxi understood why Jiang Wenhu didn’t want to specify Jiang Lingxu’s whereabouts when she had asked earlier.

Because it involved Jiang Wenjia suddenly trying to reconcile. These so-called family mbers, it’s best not to ntion them, as thinking about it is disturbing!

Especially during the New Year, it’s even more disturbing!

"Has he found them now?"

"Sort of. He’s found where your little granduncle lives, but the neighbors at the residential complex said that your little granduncle took your little grand-aunt south for the New Year, so he couldn’t et them. But knowing they’re doing well is enough; it’s not necessary to et."

"Neighbors at the residential complex? What residential complex?"

"Little Xu called saying your little granduncle is now teaching chemistry at a high school and lives in the teacher’s residence."

"Then Little Granduncle’s neighbors should have his contact information."

"They do, but they didn’t give it to your brother." Thinking of her son’s frustrated face during the video call last night, Jiang Wenhu couldn’t help but smile, "They said Mr. Jiang hasn’t had any relatives visit in over a decade. Suddenly soone shows up claiming to be family—who knows if it’s true? What if it’s soone with bad intentions? They kicked your brother out after that."

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

With the scar on Jiang Lingxu’s face and his slightly intimidating aura cultivated from avoiding trouble in the Juvenile Detention Center, suddenly appearing in a teacher’s residential complex is bound to raise concerns.

"They went south for the New Year, so they should be back before school starts. You can go again then."

"That’s what I think too. It’s inconvenient to et now, living far away, but at least we should have contact information. Little Xu is already on the high-speed train back, and should arrive in the Imperial City by tonight, taking a cab directly to you then."

"Alright, by the way, Mom and Dad, I’ve invited An’an and her grandmother to spend New Year’s Eve with us tomorrow."

Jiang Wenhu’s eyes lit up, "Is that the girl who plays Princess Jin’an?"

Jiang Lingxi couldn’t help but question herself, wondering if she was keeping up with the series differently from Jiang, "If I rember correctly, An’an hasn’t appeared yet, right? It’s still the childhood version of Jin’an."

"But there was a preview released earlier. I’ve co across it several tis on video apps. She calls you ’sister’ in it!"
