Chapter 229: 169 Eldest Brother and the Xie Family’s Grudges and Affections (3 more chapters)

Jiang Family

Although it was already dusk, since everyone had lunch at the hotel, eating and drinking, most of them were still asleep, so there was no rush to prepare dinner.

Tang Wan, having nothing else to do, watched TV with the old lady for a while and stewed some soup in the kitchen.

Fan Mingyu hurried out of the room and only said one sentence, “The Xie Family is sending people over.”

“The Xie Family?” The old lady squinted her eyes, “What are they coming for?”

The grandfathers’ generations of the two families had a decent relationship, as did their children, but by the time it got down to Jiang Yanting’s generation, things had become somewhat unspeakable.

“They said the New Year is approaching and they wanted to drop off some things, to see if anyone was home.” Fan Mingyu, while picking up the toys Jiangjiang had just scattered on the carpet, chuckled, “I’m guessing it has to do with the matchmaking from before, sending the child over to feel out the situation.”

“Probably so.”

“Jiangjiang, go downstairs and wake your dad up, tell him Uncle Xie is coming.” Fan Mingyu called out to Jiangjiang, who was still playing with his toys, and he promptly ran upstairs.

…

The Xie family called when they were almost at the community, so by the time Jiang Yanting came downstairs, they had already arrived.

He had thought that Shen Zhixian would be among them, and felt somewhat apprehensive, carrying his son downstairs with a flurry of emotions he couldn’t quite describe. He hadn’t even considered how to start a conversation with her or how to deal with his family.

Unprepared as he was, he still took Jiangjiang downstairs, only to find two people sitting in the living room, a man and a woman, neither of whom was her.

“Why are you so slow? Come and sit.”

“Hello, Uncle Xie, hello, sister.” Jiangjiang always knew how to charm the girls.

“There, your sister has brought you a toy, see if you like it.” The visitor was the Xie Family’s granddaughter—Xie Tongtong—whom he had met during the matchmaking.

“Thank you, sister, I like whatever you buy.”

“How adorable.” Xie Tongtong patted his head before greeting Jiang Yanting, “Second Master.”

“Miss Xie.” Jiang Yanting’s face lacked any expression, though his heart was indescribably complex; he had braced himself for someone else entirely.

“Long time no see.” The man, who had been sitting on the sofa, stood up.

“Mm.” Jiang Yanting briefly shook hands with him.

Clearly an old acquaintance, yet not quite that familiar.

Tang Wan eyed the man, dressed in a soft white shirt and neatly pressed black trousers, tall and striking, though his smile seemed distant and politely indifferent.
