Chapter 488: Good intentions
As soon as they met, they said a few words, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, as if holding a little spark would explode.
This is something that Old Man Lan never expected.
He didn't expect that the young man in front of him, who looked gentle and harmless, would be so powerful.
Moreover, Jiang Chen did not have any politeness to him because of his relationship with Lan Xiu, because he was Lan Xiu's grandfather.
"When young people speak, it's better to pay attention. With a cold snort, Old Man Lan said.
"Some people are disrespectful, how do you let me pay attention?" Jiang Chen said disapprovingly.
"Hmph, you keep saying that I sold my granddaughter for glory, but that's just because you can't give Xiu'er a lifetime of glory. Old Man Lan said mockingly.
Finally, I still admit that I want to sell my granddaughter for glory. Jiang Chen sighed softly.
To be honest, Jiang Chen didn't want to make the relationship too stiff with Old Man Lan, after all, Old Man Lan was Lan Xiu's grandfather after all, no matter what he was.
If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, even if it is on Lan Xiu's face, he has to give three points to this old man.
But it is precisely with such a plan, that is, as soon as Jiang Chen opened his mouth, he had a bit of a preemptive meaning, to forcibly force out the real purpose of Old Man Lan to summon Lan Xiu back to Beijing.
Because only in this way could Jiang Chen know how he should have a dialogue with Old Man Lan, or simply make this meeting between the two sides quite unpleasant.
And the potential meaning of Old Man Lan's words naturally disappointed Jiang Chen the most.
Hearing this, how could Old Man Lan not understand that he was being tricked by Jiang Chen, his face suddenly became extremely difficult to see, and he said: "Jiang Chen, young people are too sharp-toothed, it may not be a good thing, although we are meeting for the first time, I must tell you that I don't like you very much." If you're smart enough, you should know what you're supposed to do. β
"What should I do?" spread his hands, Jiang Chen's face was pure and innocent.
"It's very simple, first, you leave the capital immediately, and second, even if you insist on refusing to leave, three days later, the old man of the Wu family will be eighty years old, you had better not show up, otherwise, you are afraid that you will be extremely embarrassed. Old Man Lan said word by word.
"It seems that I am destined to be no smart person. Jiang Chen said regretfully, shook his head, turned around and walked outside the study.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was leaving, Old Man Lan had no intention of stopping him, and when Jiang Chen walked to the door of the study, Old Man Lan said: "Jiang Chen, if you really want Xiu'er's good, listen to my advice and leave Xiu'er, which is the most correct choice." β
"To you, it may be, but to me, it's definitely the stupidest choice in the world. Jiang Chen said coldly, and as he spoke, Jiang Chenren had already left the study.
The Lan family is in the capital, and it can be regarded as one of the famous families, of course, it cannot be compared with the four major families, that is, compared with the four small families, there is also a huge gap.
But even so, the Lan family still has a place that cannot be underestimated, a large number of townhouses, built neatly and uniformly, forming a small-scale villa estate.
Leaving the villa where Old Man Lan was, Jiang Chen had just gone out, and Lan Bo, who had led Jiang Chen over, appeared in front of Jiang Chen.
"Would you like to have a cup of tea, do you have time?" Glancing at Jiang Chen, Lan Bo said.
"You seem to know that Old Man Lan didn't prepare tea for me. Jiang Chen smiled lightly.
"Because I know that the old man must not like you. Rambo said noncommittally.
"What about you?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"Do you still need to ask this question?" said Lan Bo with a sneer.
"So, I'm curious, why do you still invite me to tea?" Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Chen said.
"Naturally, I'm going to talk to you, to be honest, although this capital is a little far away from Yilan City, we all know a little bit about Sister Xiu's situation in Yilan City, almost everyone is curious about you, curious why Sister Xiu fell in love with you. Rambo said.
This only proves that Xiao Xiuxiu is very discerning. Jiang Chen said narcissistically.
"You're too narcissistic, but unfortunately, apart from your slight advantage in appearance, I really can't see what narcissistic capital you have. Rambo said.
"If you can't see it, it only means that you're blind. Jiang Chen said disappreciatively.
"That's why I'm going to talk to you. Rambo said.
"Forget it, don't speculate for more than half a sentence, and I'm even more unhappy if you are unhappy. Jiang Chen shook his head and walked away.
Lan Bo's feet moved, blocking Jiang Chen's way, and said: "It's already very unhappy left and right, even if it's a little more unhappy, it's okay, isn't it?"
"You're so cheap. Jiang Chen's face turned cold.
"What did you say?" Lan Bo's face changed slightly.
"It's already unhappy, and I want to make myself even more unhappy, isn't this a cheap crime, but what? Get out of the way!" Jiang Chen said in a cold voice.
"Are you annoyed?" Lambbo laughed playfully.
Raising his foot, Jiang Chen directly kicked Lan Bo to the ground, and said unhurriedly: "Lan Bo, these tricks were left over from my play many years ago, and you are really not qualified to play tricks in front of me." β
"Jiang Chen, every time you offend one more person from the Lan family, every time one more person from the Lan family doesn't like you, do you know, what does that mean?" was kicked by Jiang Chen, Lan Bo didn't get angry but laughed.
"You're really cheap. Jiang Chen stepped forward expressionlessly, kicked out again, and kicked Lan Bo out like a gourd rolling on the ground.
Jiang Chen naturally meant something, which meant that he would drift away from Lan Xiu, but Lan Bo thought that this would threaten him, and he had to say that he was really naΓ―ve.
"Jiang Chen, what are you doing here, making trouble in my Lan family, do you still take my Lan family in your eyes?" An angry voice sounded, and immediately after, four or five people walked out.
These people are all young people, and the eldest one will not be more than thirty years old, and they should all be the younger generation of the Lan family.
And the person who spoke, it was the oldest one, who walked over and looked at Jiang Chen angrily, looking quite angry.
"I'm beating people, don't you see? As for you asking me if I have taken the Lan family in my eyes, I really haven't. Jiang Chen said lazily.
That person never thought that Jiang Chen would answer like this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and then became even more annoyed, and said loudly: "Jiang Chen, just like you, you also want to enter the gate of my Lan family, it's just a fool's dream." β
"I have to make it clear, first, it's not that I want to enter the gate of the Lan family, someone invited me to come, and second, if you are talking about Xiao Xiuxiu, when I marry Xiao Xiuxiu, it will be the gate of Xiao Xiuxiu to enter my Jiang family, and it has nothing to do with your Lan family. Jiang Chen said unhurriedly.
"Good one, get out of here, you're not welcome. The man was furious.
"Bang!"
Raising his foot, Jiang Chen kicked this guy over, rolled on the ground, and said, "Is this how you roll?"
"Presumptuous!"
"Look for death. β
β¦β¦
The other people who appeared with the man scolded one after another when they saw this.
Jiang Chen lazily ignored it, kicked one by one, and kicked them all to the ground.
"You say I'm presumptuous, I admit it, but when it comes to looking for death, are you sure it's not you who is looking for death?" Jiang Chen said in a hurry.
"Jiang Chen, congratulations, this Lan family, there are a few more people who don't like you. Patting the dust on his clothes, Lan Bo said calmly.
Jiang Chen ignored Lan Bo's stupid look and walked out on his own.
Not to mention that there are just a few more people who don't like him, even if there is no one in the Lan family who likes him, so what?
Jiang Chen didn't see it, in the direction of the villa, in the study on the second floor, the curtain was opened a little half, and a woman stood there quietly, taking in all his previous moves, frowning and worried.
"Grandpa, I don't understand. In the woman's voice, there was a slight sadness, but it was Lan Xiu.
"What don't you understand?" said Old Man Lan for a long time.
"What I don't understand is that even if you don't like Jiang Chen, why bother to deliberately embarrass him. Lan Xiu said sadly.
Jiang Chen is his man, they embarrass Jiang Chen, isn't he also embarrassing her?
"Xiu'er, do you think Jiang Chen won't be able to bear even such a little embarrassment?" Old Man Lan didn't answer Lan Xiu's question, but asked rhetorically.
"Grandpa, what do you mean by that?" Lan Xiu was stunned for a moment.
"I gave Jiang Chen two choices, first, leave the capital, in that way, it is equivalent to giving up on you, and second, three days later, go to Old Man Wu's birthday banquet...... The current situation is enough to show that Jiang Chen has chosen the second point, what do you think will happen at that time?" Old Man Lan said in a deep voice.
"If Jiang Chen really appears, the people of the Wu family will definitely make Jiang Chen unable to step down. Thinking of what Wu Menghua had encountered in Yilan City before, Lan Xiu said in a deep voice.
"That's right, but it's too easy to say, it's not as simple as not getting off the stage...... Compared to that situation, what can be counted as the embarrassment that Jiang Chen encountered in my Lan family today?" Old Man Lan said earnestly.
The conversation between Old Man Lan and Jiang Chen in the study was heard by Lan Xiu in the next room.
At the beginning, when she heard that Old Man Lan had given Jiang Chen a choice, Lan Xiu was extremely angry and almost lost her mind and rushed out.
But now, Lan Xiucai suddenly realized that there was such a deep hidden meaning in Old Man Lan's words.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Lan Xiu's eyes instantly moistened.
"Xiu'er, since you were a child, you don't like things you don't want to do, I have never forced you, it is about your life events, how can I force you?" touched Lan Xiu's hair, and Old Man Lan sighed.
"But Jiang Chen?" Lan Xiu was worried again.
"Nice young man, smart and sharp, but it still takes time to grow, to be honest, this day, I don't really want it to come so soon, but it's already here, hopefully, he's ready. Old Man Lan said in a condensed voice.
Hearing this, Lan Xiu's heart suddenly tightened, she knew too well what it meant to be mentally prepared, although Old Man Lan would not do anything to sell his granddaughter for glory, but in this matter between her and Wu Menghua, she did not approve or oppose the attitude.
The implication is that Jiang Chen is the only one who is directly opposite to the Wu family!
