Chapter 328: Chapter 328 Persuading the Old Master
Jiang Li’s authoritative words stunned the old man.
He had been dealing with the Xuan Sect for years and naturally knew that Jiang Li’s words were not made up.
But how could a young girl understand all this?!
“Do you also practice fortune-telling?” Jiang Zhao Yuan asked in astonishnt. “How do you know so much?”
When Jiang Yan was born, it coincided with their family’s downfall, so he had specifically hired soone to predict his fate.
That person’s words matched Jiang Li’s exactly.
Jiang Yan indeed had an Earth fate.
Thus, that person also gave him a nickna—Fu Gui, which specifically includes Water Wood, to balance his deficient Five Elents.
The matter wasn’t much discussed otherwise, for sotis knowing too much about fate can be detrintal.
“I had read about these things before and used to help people with divination when I was bored; through that, I beca familiar,” Jiang Li explained calmly.
But Jiang Zhao Yuan was still unconvinced.
Divination requires both innate talent and experience.
Even if Jiang Li had a natural talent for learning the Mystical Skill, she wasn’t even twenty yet—how could she have amassed so much practical experience?
“Hmph, don’t try to deceive with these excuses; this might yet again be a plot you’ve concocted!”
Jiang Li remained silent, staring at the old man for a while before suddenly speaking again:
“Grandfather, have your hands and feet been cold recently, with frequent nightmares and an excessive production of saliva at night?”
Jiang Zhao Yuan was taken aback.
How did this girl know about these things?
“Mystical Skill is related to traditional dicine as well. I can tell from looking at Grandfather’s face that these symptoms signify a weakness in the spleen and stomach. You should regulate your diet more and frequently drink ginseng tea to nourish your blood and qi.” Jiang Li said, pushing the cup of tea forward once more.
Despite seeing changes in his granddaughter over the past few days, the old man was still deeply shocked as she calmly used so many technical terms.
Had soone replaced his granddaughter?
How could soone change so dramatically in such a short ti?
Suddenly transforming from an ignorant girl into a knowledgeable and cultivated young lady.
As Jiang Zhao Yuan pondered, he unconsciously picked up the cup of ginseng tea and took a sip.
The temperature of the tea was just right, and the brewing had been perfectly executed—the wild ginseng was fragrant with a hint of sweetness, relieving so of his inner heat on this hot sumr day.
The old man’s expression softened, and raising an eyebrow, he looked at Jiang Li, who sat opposite him.
“Is all this you say… true?”
“Whether it’s true or false, Grandfather can always seek another trustworthy Daoist for verification.”
The old man snorted.
His trusted Daoist, Qingfeng, had recently gone on a pilgrimage and was completely out of touch; where could he find a professional on such short notice?
Seeing the old man was still half-doubtful, Jiang Li put down her teacup and earnestly said:
“Grandfather, do you rember the marriage arrangent you made for Jiang Yan before?”
ntioning this only worsened Jiang Zhao Yuan’s mood.
He had scrutinized several families’ Four Pillars of Destiny before deciding on Qiao Shuang for Jiang Yan.
Even Daoist Qingfeng had agreed Qiao Shuang was a good match.
What had initially been a joyous occasion had turned out this way.
Seeing the old man’s face grow darker again, Jiang Li pulled out a prepared docunt from under the coffee table.
“Qiao Shuang’s Four Pillars of Destiny indeed match well with Jiang Yan, but the marriage compatibility is not just about the two individuals, it also depends on the union of the entire families.”
“The Qiao Family are not good people. This one is her father’s list of failures to comply with credit, and they were warned by the court multiple tis for loans in the south. If Jiang Yan marries Qiao Shuang, these dishonorable records will fall upon our Jiang Family.”
“Furthermore, Qiao Shuang’s brothers, none of whom have amounted to anything. This file shows evidence of them causing trouble and being detained, and there are also records of Qiao Shuang’s mother gambling…”
Jiang Li had acquired these docunts by asking friends from the police departnt.
After those events, she beca quite familiar with the police in the Capital and obtaining these files was rather easy.
Looking at each and every record, the old man’s face turned utterly dark.
Initially, it was because Daoist Qingfeng said that the girl from the Qiao Family had a rare compatibility with Jiang Yan and that she was currently in an auspicious year for marriage. If Jiang Yan missed this, Qiao Shuang might marry soone else.
That’s why he hurriedly arranged this marriage with the Qiao Family, rely glossing over the background checks.
What he thought was, as long as Qiao Shuang was obedient and sensible, and could be a virtuous wife in the Jiang Family, nothing else would be a problem.
But he hadn’t expected there to be such significant issues behind it all.
Jiang Li continued, “Since ancient tis, equal social standing has been significant in marriage, and this doesn’t just refer to the families’ power and wealth, but aligns more deeply with familial values and upbringing. A good marital alliance can elevate a family’s fortune, while a poor one can plunder a family’s wealth to the ground.”
Her soft words seriously affected the old man’s deanor.
The girl was right.
Marrying a daughter-in-law was not only about the compatibility of the two individuals, but of the two families as well.
If their family were really to be associated with such people, wouldn’t it ruin their future prospects?
However, Jiang Li spoke so logically and analytically, could it be she truly understood so Mystical Skill?
If that’s the case, does it also an that what she just ntioned about Jiang Yan and the family business clashing was also true?!
How could that be possible?!
Jiang Zhao Yuan stood up and tapped his cane on the floor.
“I will not settle scores with you today, but let’s drop the idea of Jiang Yan entering the entertainnt industry! I will teach that boy a lesson when he returns!”
After saying this, the old man grunted a few tis and then turned to go upstairs.
Knowing the old man’s temperant well, Jiang Li knew he was montarily relenting.
So, she turned and gave Shen Lan an ‘ok’ gesture.
…
…
When Su Yinwan saw the trending topic on Weibo, she was resting in the company’s lounge.
Over the last few days, she had been busy with various production teams, finally finding so ti to take care of herself and prepare for an audition for Director Zhang’s new movie.
But she never expected that during this relaxed interval, Jiang Yan had entered the entertainnt industry!
This plot twist was completely absent from the book!
In the original storyline, after his wedding, Jiang Yan was forcibly assigned to the company by the old man.
With his dislike for business and lack of acun, he quickly ssed up the accounts of Jiang Group.
It was at this ti that she reappeared before him, showing care and concern, which assured his unequivocal devotion.
That was supposed to be the real progression!
Not this change of the Demon King from the Jiang Family entering the entertainnt industry!
Su Yinwan was a bit stunned, but after double-checking several tis, the answer remained the sa.
—Jiang Yan had formally entered the circle, and had even signed with her own agency!
