Chapter 1423: Chapter 817: The Old Lady Who Hides Needles in Cotton, Misfortune Never Comes Alone? (2 Updates)
The bar incident was quite big, although the police didn’t issue a report, everyone subconsciously believed that something definitely happened at Jiang Chengsi’s bar, especially when someone suddenly changed their WeChat profile picture and signature, as if confirming certain rumors.
The gossipers began lively discussions:
"Fourth Master is really unfortunate, definitely got tricked by someone careless."
"There were so many people at the bar that night, couldn’t catch anyone, so Fourth Master had to take the blame, he’s too pitiful."
"I think it was Geng Dong, but there’s no evidence. That guy was pretty arrogant at Fourth Master’s bar that night but got rebuked by Third Young Master, Jiang Family indeed shouldn’t be provoked."
...
The police didn’t issue a report, but the winds in Beijing were strong. Before dawn, the old lady rose early and was pruning some bonsai, already noticing some sneaky figures outside the old house taking pictures with equipment.
Some paparazzi reporters have really gone crazy in recent years, daring to come here.
Comparatively, to the incident at Jiang Chengsi’s bar, people were actually more concerned about whether the relationship between the Jiang Family and the Si Family would change.
Since Si Yushan found out, someone used to follow Si Qingxiao, the security around the Si Family was tight, reporters couldn’t get in, so they had to explore the Jiang Family instead. Jiang Zhenhuan and Jiang Jinsang went to work one after another, the reporters didn’t dare chase the cars but were persistent in keeping watch outside.
As Jiang Shiyi was leaving, he noticed the reporters, "Grandma, there are quite a few reporters outside, should I help you drive them away?"
"After driving them away, surely more will come, if you’re busy just go ahead, I’ll handle it." The old lady smiled as she looked at him, "If you’re not busy lately, come back often for meals."
"Okay," Jiang Shiyi replied. As he drove away, the group of reporters who heard about someone’s incident last night didn’t dare follow, instead remaining at the gates.
They thought, if they could encounter the old lady of the Jiang Family or Fan Mingyu, these two are considered amiable among the Jiang Family and might give some insights.
As for Tang Wan...
The journalist crowd knew she wasn’t easy to mess with either.
Tang Wan came downstairs holding her child, planning to wander around the courtyard, but also saw quite a few reporters outside.
Regardless of past incidents, there were never this many reporters at the door, clearly anything regarding the Si Family indeed had a great allure.
She pressed her son’s head to the side of her shoulder, turned around to go back inside, but saw the old lady unexpectedly holding a cane, seeming to go outside.
"Grandma, where are you going?"
"With so many friends outside, let’s invite them in for tea."
Fan Mingyu supported the old lady as she walked outside, Tang Wan was unsure what she intended, only Jiang Xiaowai, seeing her great-grandmother trying to leave, thought she was going out, waved his little hand seeming to want to follow.
...
These reporters came to stake out purely for the chance, the Jiang Family had plenty to expose, even if they couldn’t see anyone, capturing Young Master Xiaowu would still create ample buzz.
"Hey, the old lady of the Jiang Family and Madam Jiang are coming out, not in a car." Someone spoke up, and everyone instantly became like they were injected with adrenaline, shooting frantically toward them.
As the door opened, people gathered around, yet didn’t dare get too close, considering her age, they couldn’t afford any accidents or injuries.
"Madam Jiang, what do you think about the incident at Fourth Master’s bar last night?"
"Will this affect your relationship with the Si Family?"
"Yes, how does the Si Family respond?"
...
Reporters were here to try their luck, they were all outside, assuming the Jiang Family would avoid them whenever going out, didn’t expect the old lady would come out like this.
"You’ve been waiting outside before daylight, it must’ve been hard work, as the day heats up, why not come in for a cup of tea, and discuss matters slowly."
The reporters were somewhat puzzled, what did she mean?
Some already sensed that things might not be so simple but figured they were many, chiefly curious about the Jiang Family. Considering the old lady’s kind demeanor, thinking nothing major could happen, they followed her inside.
With so many people, they didn’t dare enter the house, staying outside with some stone benches and steps.
"Wait for a moment, when everyone arrives, feel free to ask whatever you’d like." The old lady smiled, even had someone serve them tea and fruit plates.
The reporters were just even more bewildered...
Having food and drinks, what interview had such a treatment, moreover they came for sneaky shots and disclosure, at this moment, the previously noisy reporters, instead became as silent as chickens.
Obediently, like unexpectedly.
Previously holding cameras, shooting everywhere, seeing the old lady’s demeanor now, they didn’t dare randomly photograph, surprisingly worried about being too rude and presumptuous.
