Chapter 339
Jenny pursed her lips, thought about it, and agreed.
“That’s okay, you come up here.”
Guan Xuefei parked her car in the back and got into the passenger seat of Jenny’s car.
Jenny felt a little embarrassed, after all, this was the second time she had crashed into Guan Xuefei and He Chengjun.
As the saying goes, there’s no two ways about it, and bumping into each other twice in a row, not to mention Guan Xuefei, even she couldn’t believe such a coincidence.
“What did you want to talk to me about, Miss Kwan?”
Although he knew it in his heart, Jenny still asked.
Guan Xue Fei didn’t look at her, her cold eyes gazed forward and said in a deep voice, “Did you hear everything we just said?”
“Ahem!”
Jenny coughed awkwardly, busy explaining, “I didn’t mean to, really, I just came down to get my car to leave, who would have thought you guys would be here.”
Guan Xuefei turned her eyes to look at her with a touch of sarcasm.
“So, you did hear all of it?”
Jenny: “……..”
With such an attitude from the other side, she didn’t darken her face and said in a quiet voice, “Okay, I admit, I heard you, but don’t worry, your business has nothing to do with me, so I won’t tell anyone.”
Guan Xue Fei slightly quirked her eyebrows for a moment and coldly said, “It’s best.”
Jenny was a little helpless.
Guan Xuefei added: “Actually, he and I, originally had nothing to do with each other, it was him who always wanted to pester me, Jenny, you are also a woman, you should understand how I feel, I don’t like him at all, and I don’t want to give birth to this child, so my affair with him must not be known by anyone outside.”
Jenny’s skin tugged at the corners of his mouth with a smile.
“If you don’t like it, why do you want to get together?”
Guan Xuefei stalled.
The face changed slightly, but there was no explanation.
She took a deep breath and looked at Jenny Jing seriously, “As long as you are willing to help me keep this secret, I will be obliged to you, if there is anything you need help with in the future, feel free to say it straightforwardly, on the other hand… you know what I mean.”
Jenny laughed.
“You don’t have to threaten me, after all, you can’t threaten me.”
Guan Xuefei: “…”
One of Jenny’s hands was resting on the car window, his posture idle and seemingly smiling at her.
“I’m keeping your secret because you’re not related to me in the slightest, and I have no interest in gossiping about your affair to anyone else, that’s all, and as for the rest, with all due respect, Miss Kwan, you’re really thinking too much.”
Guan Xuefei’s face sank in a split second.
She didn’t like Jenny’s nebulous appearance; this high profile made her feel like she was being stepped on.
Obviously she was the Guan family’s daughter, and this woman in front of her was just a rich man from a small place who had climbed up to Biden Lu to get to where she was today, why should she speak to her in such a posture?
But Guan Xuefei’s decade-plus upbringing wasn’t in vain.
Despite all the frustration in my heart, I didn’t show it on my face.
Instead, he nodded calmly.
“Well, since you say so, I’m relieved, but no matter what, I’ll take this favor, and I’ll definitely return it to you in the future.”
Jenny smiled, not commenting on her words.
The matter has been made clear, Guan Xuefei naturally will not stay in the car, screwing the door open and getting out of the car.
“Goodbye, Miss King.”
Jenny to her.
Waved a hand.
Only after Guan Xuefei left did she start the car and continue to drive forward.
When I got home, it was nine o’clock at night.
Ann was waiting for her to fall asleep, and as soon as she heard footsteps, she ran from the room.
“Mummy!You’re finally back.”
Jenny Jing looked at the little gnome who was so sleepy that she couldn’t even open her eyes, and was so distressed that she took a few quick steps over to pick her up.
“I’m sorry Mommy’s late, is Ann sleepy?”
Ann yawned and shook her head again evenly, “Ann isn’t sleepy, Ann’s been waiting for Mommy.”
Jenny k*ssed her face and carried her back to her room and put her on the bed.
“Okay, Mommy’s going to watch the comic strip with you, and we’ll watch one episode and go to bed, okay?”
Ann was good and agreed.
A comic book episode doesn’t take long, and it’s a quick read.
Jenny coaxed the child to sleep, and when she came out, she couldn’t find Biden Lu, so she asked Auntie Liu, who had just returned from the backyard, “Auntie Liu, where is Biden Lu?Hasn’t he answered yet?”
Aunt Liu had a few sad clouds on her face and sighed at the news, “Mister came back once at seven o’clock, then seemed to have taken a phone call and hurried out.”
Jenny was stunned.
“What’s going on?”
Aunt Liu shook her head.
“I’m not sure exactly, but it seems to say that the old man of the Guan family can’t make it, and our old man called the gentleman and asked him to come along with him.”
Jenny’s heart thudded.
Master Guan’s health was poor, but he hadn’t heard any signs of deterioration during this time.
Why all of a sudden it’s not working?
Although the relationship between the four families was now delicate, Master Guan and Master Lu, after all, had been friends for decades.
The competing interests between the family was one thing, the personal friendship between the two old masters was another, so if Master Guan really wasn’t going to make it, it was reasonable for Master Lu to take Biden Lu over to take a look.
Jenny thought about it and said, “I know, there’s nothing else you guys should go back to rest early.”
Aunt Liu nodded, which left.
After Jenny went back to her room and took a shower, she didn’t wait long for Biden Lu to return.
In the early spring season after the year, Kyoto, located in the north, was still warm and cold, and even the night air seemed to have a thin layer of chill in it.
Jenny knew it was a man coming back when she heard the engine of the car, and even went out to go downstairs, feeling a chill from afar as the man wrapped his arms around her, making her shiver.
Biden Lu paused, even returned to close the door, looked at the thin pajamas she was wearing, and frowned.
“Why are you wearing so little?”
Jenny held his arms and rubbed them as he went over to take off his coat and said, “How much more do you need to wear at home?How’s that?Is Master Kwan okay?”
At the mention of this, Biden Lu’s complexion was slightly sunken.
“It’s saved, but it doesn’t look like there’s much time left.”
Jenny was slightly startled, according to the Guan family’s status, the doctor hired was naturally the best medical team in the world, if this was all said to be no good, then it must really be no good.
Although she didn’t know Master Guan well and she didn’t have much affection for the Guan family, she was still slightly sorry to hear this news at first glance.
But Jenny wasn’t sentimental for long, and soon recovered, saying, “There’s hot soup in the kitchen, Aunt Liu is simmering it especially for you, I’ll go and bring it to you.”
Biden Lu nodded.
Chapter 340
Jenny will bring the soup over, is Liu Aunt specially boiled tonic soup, because this period of time Jenny’s body has not been very comfortable, always feel cold, and Biden Lu is too busy, so specially boiled some soup for them to mend.
Jenny had already drunk it, so she sat there with Biden Lu as she watched him drink the soup and said, “Master Guan is like this, the Guan family should be in chaos over there!”
At the mention of this, Biden Lu sneered.
“It’s more than a mess, it’s just a mess.”
Jenny laughed.
“There are many children in the Guan family, and Uncle Er and Uncle Guan were not born of one mother, plus the side branches are standing in a forest, so naturally there is no shortage of fights between the two brothers, and fortunately the old man had a scare this time, so I’m sure that for the sake of the family’s safety and security, he will also arrange things behind him earlier, so as not to make too much of a fuss.”
Biden Lu nodded, “I hope so.”
He gave a slight pause, as if thinking of something, and looked at Jenny.
Jenny raised an eyebrow.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Biden Lu seemed to find it a bit funny and laughed lightly before saying, “The Gu family also sent someone over today, do you know who they sent?”
“Who?”
“Youngest Gu.”
Jenny was stunned.
“I don’t think Gu’s youngest doesn’t have much of an aversion to Clara, the two seem to be getting along quite well, and this marriage, if there are no surprises, is probably a foregone conclusion.”
Jenny was speechless for a while, not really knowing what to say.
“Youngest Gu… does he know about Clara’s past?”
Biden Lu nodded, “I know, but according to him, who didn’t go over there?So he doesn’t care, he’s just ready to look into the future with Clara, but there’s something about finding true love.”
Jenny was thunderstruck by the phrase “true love”, and didn’t know what to say at the moment.
“It’s fine for the young master of the Gu family to marry a second marriage, but the point is that this second marriage partner still has such a bad reputation, and the Gu family is willing to do so?”
Biden Lu smirked.
“He’s not the only son of the Gu family, not to mention that the Gu family is offering 15% of the Guan shares as a dowry, not to mention the Gu family, if you look at Kyoto, any man would be impressed.”
Jenny gave him a look.
“Oh?So you’re tempted too?”
Biden Lu paused.
Look up at her seriously.
Then, suddenly spreading a smile and taking her hand, “I’m only smitten with you.”
Jenny: “……..”
I knew this man was a prude!
She gave him a blank look and withdrew her hand, “Okay, to be serious, according to you, this marriage between the Guan family and the Gu family, is the union set?Master Guan is actually willing to take 15% of the shares out as a dowry, doesn’t the rest of the Guan family have a problem with that?”
Biden Lu thought about it, shaking his head, “People are what they got back, this 15% share, in the end, is actually the shares of the year Guan JiWan, Guan JiWan is gone, this share, naturally should be given to her children, but unfortunately, the old man Guan has always thought that this is the real granddaughter, in fact, it is a fake.
He’s still alive now, and the shares are still in his own hands, but I just don’t know who the shares will fall into when he’s gone, and then I’m just afraid it’ll be a fight all over again, in short, the Guan family is a quagmire, and the Gu family will not necessarily be a good thing to get into this time like this.”
Jenny also nodded in agreement.
They talked for a while longer, until late at night, when they went back to their rooms to rest.
And on the other side, the shutters.
The old man had just been pulled back from the brink of life and death, and the family was relieved.
After the doctor’s meticulous examination, it has been confirmed that the old man’s life is not in danger for the time being, which is why everyone is relieved.
After tossing and turning for most of the night, everyone was tired, and after seeing the old man, they all went back to rest.
The doctor naturally needed to stay behind to continue caring for the old man, except that in addition to the doctor, at the old man’s behest, Clara was also left behind.
“Maya, come and sit down with Grandpa.”
Master Guan was lying on the bed and beckoned to Clara, who was busy going over.
“Grandpa, how are you?Anywhere else uncomfortable?”
Kwan waved his hand.
“I’m fine, an old bone, no matter how much it heals, it’s just that, but it’s just dragging on for time, I know all about it.”
Clara’s eyes reddened as she heard this.
“Grandpa, don’t say that, you’re a good man, you’ll live a long life.”
Master Guan was directly amused by her words.
“Silly boy.”
Although the doctors had told him that he was out of danger, Master Guan’s body was still very weak, and even his voice, when he spoke, had a few hints of weakness and strain.
He reached out, touched Clara’s head, and said softly, “It doesn’t matter if Grandpa lives a hundred years, the most important thing is you, Clara, do you have any plans for your future?”
Clara’s eyes showed a dazed look at the words.
“I…I just need to stay with Grandpa.”
Master Guan laughed, “What’s the point of accompanying me?Not to mention how long I’ll last in this sick body, but you’ll have to have your own life when I’m gone.”
Clara’s tears were about to come down again when she heard that.
Master Guan was busy stopping from saying this anymore, but he sighed in his heart.
The boy, who was so kind-hearted, had no idea how much he had suffered before to become as sensitive as he was today.
He sighed and changed the subject.
“Clara, how do you feel about the young master of the Gu family who came over tonight?”
Clara was stunned.
He looked at him with wide, watery eyes, as if he didn’t quite understand what he meant.
The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled lovingly: “The Gu family is the top gentry family in Kyoto, just like our Guan family, it also has a history of more than a hundred years, when his old man was still alive, he was good friends with your grandfather, plus that youngest child of the Gu family has a good personality, sunshine, honest, unlike those boys outside who have so many playful intestines, if you are with him in theTogether, you’ll definitely be well taken care of and Grandpa is more at ease, don’t you think?”
Clara instantly blushed, lowering her head so shyly that she almost hated to bury her head in the ground.
“I, I don’t know.”
Master Guan laughed.
“Don’t be shy, isn’t it normal for a man to marry a woman when she’s older?”
Clara barely smiled.
“Grandpa, I don’t want to get married just yet.”
Master Kwan froze and frowned.
“What’s wrong?Did Maya not like him?Or is there another favorite?”
Clara waved her hand in succession, “No no, I, I…”
She bit her lip, looking like she was having trouble talking, her eyes were so red, and her whole body looked so pitiful and aggrieved that one couldn’t help but want to protect it at first glance.
Master Guan couldn’t stand it any longer at first glance, and asked incessantly, “Are you still worried about something?”
Chapter 341
Clara nodded.
“Grandpa, I was married once and so many things have happened before, I’m afraid…”
Master Guan’s face sank.
“That’s all in the past, what’s in the past is in the past, you don’t need to take it to heart, that youngest child Gu is a seeker and doesn’t care about that, so you don’t need to worry about that at all.”
Clara bit her lip and shook her head heavily.
“No, it’s all my fault, if I hadn’t been discerning, if I had been able to find out about Dad and Grandma sooner, there wouldn’t have been anything that happened back there, even though I’m back in the Kwan family now, I know in my heart that my past is a black spot that can’t be erased, no matter who it is.
I’ve already disgraced my grandfather, now why do I need to scandalize another person?It would be fine if Young Master Gu cared, but it’s not like he doesn’t care, he’s so nice, so I can’t hurt him and have people poke him later and say he’s married to a murderer’s daughter, I can’t do that!”
King cried out, covering his face and losing his voice.
Master Guan was so angry that he tensed his face, and the air pressure in the entire room dropped.
Half a dozen times before he raged, “Nonsense!What murderer’s daughter?You’re just their adopted daughter!Your own mother is the daughter of the Ji family and has nothing to do with their Jing family!What does the evil that they Jing family did have to do with you?”
Probably overly emotional, Master Guan coughed heavily in the middle of his sentence.
Clara was busy reassuring him, passing out water and patting his back, and it took a while for the old man to slow down.
Clara looked at him worriedly, “Grandpa, are you okay?I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have said that to you…”
Kwan waved his hand, his voice feeble.
“I’m fine, good boy, don’t worry, I’ll take care of this matter for you, those voices outside are just some vulgar words, don’t take it to heart, I know, you have a problem with the Lu family daughter-in-law, and because of this, I want you to marry the youngest Gu, with the Gu family as a backing, even if grandfather is gone in the future, the Lu family daughter-in-law wouldn’t dare to bully you.
Also, the 15% of the shares that your mother left behind, I transferred all of them to your name, you must remember that no matter what Gu’s youngest child tells you, you can never transfer the shares to him, this is the basis of your security, you must learn to protect yourself and never trust others.”
He said, and coughed heavily twice, and Clara had burst into tears.
“Grandfather…”
“Maya, I’m sorry for your mother, but if I hadn’t insisted that she be separated from that man back then, you wouldn’t have been stolen from her, let alone go into exile and suffer for so many years.
Your mother died depressed because of me, and I just want you to live to make up for what I owe to your mother, and to you.”
Clara grasped his hand and sobbed.
And then, outside the door.
Guan Jili listened to the conversation in the room, his face gloomy.
With a heavy snort, he turned away.
The Guan family’s old house was formed from three townhouses, with the oldest Guan living in one, and the eldest and second oldest Guan living in one each.
Once outside, I saw that not far away, Xu Hui was holding Guan Jiming’s arm, heading to the
Come this way.
Seeing him exhale and come out, Xu Hui greeted him with a smile, “Big brother, it’s so late, you haven’t gone back to your room to rest!”
Guan Ji Li snorted sarcastically, “I’m not the only one who didn’t sleep, am I?I see that my second brother and second sibling are also in good spirits, it’s two o’clock in the middle of the night, and they’re still walking outside, so they’re not afraid of spreading the cold.”
Guan Ji Ming’s face was calm, and he smiled lightly, “We were worried about Dad, so we wanted to wait until later to sleep.”
Guan Jili scoffed twice, “Come on, what do you guys have in mind, I still don’t know?It’s just that we’re afraid Dad might die suddenly and not get a will or a smaller share of the family fortune, and who’s here under some grandiose pretense that we don’t know who yet?”
Guan Jiming’s face sank.
“Brother, if that’s what you have in mind, I can’t help it, but you can’t be mean, and just because you fancy Dad’s legacy doesn’t mean everyone is like you.”
Guan Ji Li gritted his teeth in anger, “Enough!Are you a gentleman?You’re a gentleman who would find a little btch to confuse Dad’s mind?If you were a gentleman, you’d let that little btch cheat Dad out of 15% of his stock?I’m telling you, these shares belong to the Guan family, and they’re owned by the Guan family, so don’t try to take them all.Otherwise, I won’t let you get away with it even if the fish die!”
Guan Ji Ming frowned.
“Brother, those shares are from Dad to Maya, and they have nothing to do with us.”
“Ha!”Guan Jili seemed to have heard some big joke, “Clara?With her?Who the hell is she?Pa’s giving her to her now because he’s listening to you and thinks she’s Wanda’s child, and if he finds out that she’s not at all who these shares will end up in?”
Guan Jiming’s face suddenly sank all over.
“Brother, don’t be ridiculous!”
“Am I talking nonsense, or are you guys guilty?!I’ve known about this for a long time. I was just trying to keep it a secret for Dad’s sake. You’re out of your mind!I’ll tell you, no one will stop you from doing what you want to do, but I won’t back down one step on the stock, so if you don’t believe me, we’ll see who wins in the end!”
He said, and exhaled.
In the meantime, Xu Hui worriedly took Guan Ji Ming’s arm and said softly, “Ji Ming, will big brother really tell Dad about Clara’s identity like this?”
Guan Ji Ming shook his head.
“No, Dad’s will hasn’t been published yet, and it won’t do him any good to have an accident at this time, and even if he wants to tear up, he’ll wait until Dad actually announces the contents of his will.”
Xu Hui sighed.
“We’re actually doing this to try and keep Dad going a little longer, haven’t you noticed?Ever since that Clara came back, Dad’s health has been much better, and his whole body is much more energetic, and the reason for this sudden attack is completely unexpected.”
Guan Ji Ming nodded.
“Yeah, the Guan family is relying on Dad to hold it together right now, if he leaves, the Guan family is bound to scatter like a plate of sand here and there, and then, no matter who they meet the Guan family won’t be able to defeat them, so I’m afraid they’ll really have to be removed from the four big families.”
Xu Hui was also worried at the news.
Guan Ji Ming patted her hand and reassured her, “The good news is that Dad is fine now, we don’t have to worry too much, so let’s keep watch for a while longer, and if the situation is still stable, go back to rest.”
Xu Hui nodded.
