"Qian Hua Jin Luo Works After Marriage, Love for the Wife, Divorce is Invalid! After Marriage, Love for the Wife, Divorce is Invalid! Volume 1 This made Guan Yan smell a hint of something unusual 6000+"
"Madam... welcome home!" The servants' voices were perfectly in sync, as if they had rehearsed it before.
Going home, what a warm word.
It's as if she had never left at all, even though... Guan Yanrou had never considered this place to be her true home.
"Mom is back!" Jiang Xirui heard the voice coming from outside and immediately dropped Yan Ruhua, who was playing with him in the living room. He leaned on his small crutch and hobbled out.
Actually, Yan Ruhua had just heard the neat voices of the servants outside and was also slightly moved...
She thought of herself, thinking... when she was in Guan's family.
There were a few older aunts in the Guan family, who had been listening to Guan Zhiyuan's words... They had been with the Guan family since Guan Zhiyuan and Tang Juan got married, so they had a relatively high prestige among the servants. However, these aunts didn't get along with Yan Ruhua at all, and the people in the Guan family weren't very nice to her either. As a result, the attitude of the lower-ranking servants towards Yan Ruhua was naturally extremely cold.
She had heard those servants talking behind her back several times, saying that she was the one who drove Tang Juan to death.
Yan Ruhua couldn't help but compare Guan Yanhong, who was able to get along so well with the Jiang family's servants. Yan Ruhua had lived in the Jiang household for quite some time... She had never heard any of the servants gossiping about Guan Yanhong behind her back; every time they mentioned her, it was always with praise.
Especially when it comes to Guan Yan's heartache and taking care of Jiang Xirui, those servants all have to admire and like Guan Yan.
"Madam, you are still weak... let me push you in." said Wen Guanjia.
"It doesn't matter, I can do it myself..." Guan Yanhong tightened her clothes.
"I'm here..." Jiang Shen closed the car door and walked over to Guan Yanxi, lifting his hand to support her. "Let's go!"
"Mom!" Jiang Xirui had already walked to the door and revealed a big smile to Guan Yanru, "I'm drawing with Grandma... it's for Mom!"
"Is it? What is Xiaoxi painting?" Guan Yanyu asked while walking in.
"Xiao Xi's mom... Grandma also said that Xiao Xi and her mom were similar when they were young, especially having a talent for painting." Jiang Xirui looked at Guan Yanyu walking towards him with a smile on his face like a bun.
Guan Yan Hong's lips curled up, but it was just Yan Ru Hua coaxing Jiang Xi Rui. In the past... had Yan Ru Hua ever painted with Guan Yan Hong?
However, this made Guan Yanxiu catch a whiff of something unusual.
How can Yan Ruohua accompany children to paint according to her personality?
"Little master, shall I carry you in?" A sweet-voiced young maid carried Jiang Xirui inside.
Surrounded by servants and supported by Jiang Shen, Guan Yanxi saw Yan Ruhua coming towards her in a wheelchair as soon as she entered the Xuan Gate.
"Xiao Hong is back..." Yan Ruhua smiled lightly.
Come back?!!
These words... Jiang Xirui, Wen Guanjia... and these servants all say are very normal, but... Yan Ruhua clearly knows that Guan Yanhong is going to divorce Jiang Shen, and they are currently only temporarily living in the Jiang household, how can she say "come back" with such a matter-of-fact tone?
Could it be that... Yan Ruhua already knew Jiang Shen's intentions towards her, so she made up her mind to continue "staying" at the Jiang residence.
In front of so many people, Guan Yan didn't want to hurt Yan Ruhua's face, so she could only curve her lips and smile: "Mm..."
"After going back and forth from the hospital, I'll take you back to your room to rest first." Jiang Shen said to Yan Ruhua, "Mom...I'll take Yan Xue back to her room to rest first."
"Alright, slow down......" Yan Ruhua smiled and nodded.
Jiang Shenrang heard that Guan Jia had arranged for Yan Hong and Yan Ruhua's rooms to be on the first floor, so it would be more convenient for the mother and daughter.
Jiang Shenfu helped Guan Yanhong into the room, considerately helping her take off her coat and tucking her in: "You rest first... I'll come call you again at noon when it's time to eat."
"Mm." Guan Yanqi nodded.
"I'll go out first, if there's anything... just call out, I've already told the servants outside to be on high alert and wait for your orders at any time." Jiang Shen naturally raised his hand to tuck away the stray hairs in front of Guan Yanru's forehead.
Guan Yan's eyes involuntarily dodged slightly, but in the end she still lowered her eyelids and acquiesced to Jiang Shen doing so.
"I'm going out..." Jiang Shenzhi stood up and walked outside.
"Jiang Shen..." Guan Yan Chi suddenly spoke up and called out his name.
"Huh?"
Her small hands clasped together and placed on her lower abdomen, the movement slow and slightly shy like a young girl from Jiangnan. Her voice was soft: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Jiang Shen went out and gently closed the door.
Only Guan Yanxi was left in the house, and she could still hear Jiang Xirui's voice outside the door, making a fuss about sleeping with her. The corners of Guan Yanxi's mouth involuntarily rose.
What kind of feeling is this? Coming back to Jiang's house again... Does it really have a sense of home here?
Looking out from the large floor-to-ceiling window in this room... is a green lawn, very beautiful...
A gentle breeze lifted a layer of white gauze, and Yang Guan took the opportunity to sneak in and playfully jump onto Guan Yan's small hands, then... disappeared as the gauze screen was blown away.
Guan Yan's palm stretched out... letting the sunlight come and go, unable to grasp it.
Although it can be seen falling into one's palm and felt warming up in one's palm... yet it cannot be grasped, just like love.
Her eyes were slightly red, at least... it wasn't because Tang Xiao didn't love her anymore, that's why they broke up.
Tang Xiao's wife told herself that Tang Xiao loved her... but he chose the child and chose the family, which was already a great comfort to Guan Yanru. Every time she thought of this sentence... it could more or less soothe Guan Yanru's painful heart.
Guan Yanxi can understand it.
Because she grew up in a single-parent family since childhood, she knew that children without fathers would have a miserable fate.
Guan Yanxi now understood, Tang Xiao made a decision that couldn't be said to be right but was rational.
After recovering... Guan Yanhong still had many things to do, such as thanking Guan Danyan, who he didn't particularly like. At least when his life was in danger, he stood up for him and prolonged his life, no matter how excessive his past actions were... With this one act, Guan Yanhong's heart had already written off everything.
The rent for that house is one month's deposit and three months' payment in advance... Guan Yanrou has almost spent all the savings she accumulated during her internship, Jiang Shen said to move out... The deposit and rent will not be returned, so I have to hurry up and go to work to make money, in order to move out... In order to pay back the money owed to Jiang Shen for this surgery.
That day, Jiang Shen did not go to work. He stayed at home with Jiang Xirui and Guan Yanyi for a whole day.
It's rare for Jiang Shen to stay at home for so long without answering phone calls or handling official business.
Dinner is approaching, Guan Yan said let's take a walk while the oxygen concentration is highest in the afternoon.
Jiang Shen originally wanted to accompany Guan Yanrou, but was rejected by her. She said she just wanted to walk alone for a bit... not too far, and would be back soon.
Jiang Shen didn't stop her, but instead instructed the servant to keep a distant watch. If Guan Yanrou needed help, they were to immediately go and support her back.
Guan Yanzhi walked to a long bench under the shade of a tree, which faced west and could see the sunset... The fiery red clouds, dazzling light... Reflected on Guan Yanzhi's pale face, making her skin glow with a healthy orange color.
After a while, Yan Ruhua also said she wanted to take a walk and pushed her wheelchair to find Guan Yanzhu.
When the wheelchair with a beautiful painting stopped beside her, Guan Yanzhi turned around and looked at her.
"Yan Qi... Mom wants to talk to you." Yan Ruhua's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Uh-huh."
Guan Yan's face was pale and she responded with a faint voice, but in fact, she had expected this since her return.
"Jiang Shen is quite good..." Yan Ruhua also looked at the fiery clouds on the horizon.
At this time...the lights in Jiang's villa have been lit up, looking exceptionally beautiful.
"Yan Qi, when we choose the person to spend our life with, it's not necessarily about choosing the one we love the most... but rather the one that suits us best." Yan Ruhua's voice was calm. "You love Tang Xiao, and Tang Xiao is wealthy, but you two are destined to be apart because he has his own family, just like mom... she insisted on being with your dad all these years, but heaven has determined that we can't be together, and that's because we're not compatible."
"Does Mother mean... that I and Jiang Shen are a good match?" Guan Yan's voice was tinged with a hint of coldness, "Mother... if today's Jiang Shen wasn't the master of this Jiang family estate, wasn't the master of the Jiang clan, would you think that I and Jiang Shen were a good match?"
"Yan Hong... don't think so extremely!" Yan Ruhua had actually already expected Guan Yanhong to say this, and she also knew that in Guan Yanhong's heart... the image of being disgusted by poverty and loving wealth had already taken deep root.
Especially after Jiang Shen brought her back this time, his words and reactions would inevitably make Guan Yanrou feel rejected and disgusted. She spoke more sharply... Yan Ruhua could endure it for herself as well as for Guan Yanrou.
"What I said is suitable... including many factors, one of which is Jiang Shen's financial resources. I don't deny this point, but in today's society... isn't this already a normal state? I think it's not necessary to pretend to be noble, Jiang Shen's financial resources can bring my mother and me a good life, so you don't have to work so hard. Jiang Shen's appearance is also outstanding in every way... and his IQ is high enough!"
Yan Ruhua looked at Guan Yanqiu: "The famous diamond bachelor from Jincheng, every woman wants to get into Jiang Shen's bed, but Jiang Shen only likes you, Yan Qiu... This is your greatest competitive advantage."
"Mom..." Guan Yanxi smiled lightly and wrapped her clothes tightly, turning to face Yan Ruhua's eyes, "Do you know what my greatest advantage is? It's these suitable conditions you mentioned, I don't care about any of them."
"Yan Hong... we are all human, we are not immortals who have attained the Tao... now that we live in this world, let's find a way to make our lives easier and richer... is there anything wrong with that?" Yan Ruhua couldn't understand Guan Yanhong's thoughts.
"What you said is not wrong!" Guan Yanhong said, "The mistake lies in the fact that you are too utilitarian. I really don't like it when you do this. Just because I can't be with Tang Xiao, who is rich and whom I love, doesn't mean I have to settle for Jiang Shen, a rich man I don't love. Is it fair to him if I'm not sincere about being with him just because I want to live a better life?"
"But Jiang Shen likes you, and this is what they call taking what they need!" Yan Ruhua's voice rose involuntarily.
Guan Yan's face turned red as she was taken aback for a long time, and then she couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.
"Mom... I thought you loved me, so you'd understand me..." Guan Yan's eyes were brimming with tears as she wrapped her clothes tightly around herself and stood up to leave.
"Yan Qi!" Yan Ruhua shouted, but only got a response of Yan Qi turning her head away without looking back.
I thought you had loved before, so you should understand me?!
Her hands clenched tightly, just because I loved... so I don't want you to repeat the same mistake!
If I could have chosen what I wanted from the start, if I hadn't been hung up on Zhiyuan all along, maybe... our lives as mother and daughter wouldn't be like this now.
Yan Ruhua's chest hurts a little, all of this... is because she loved, so she made up her mind to give Guan Yanruo advice!
Yes, Yan Ruhua acknowledges that she said these words with some self-interest, but most importantly...she hopes her daughter will live a good life.
"Back... where's mom?" Jiang Shen asked as he saw Guan Yanhong return alone.
A faint smile appeared on Guan Yan's pale face as she said, "Mom says the view is great over there and wants to stay a bit longer."
"Tell the housekeeper to have someone bring your mother back, it's getting chilly... At this time of day, it's especially easy to catch a cold outside. We're about to have dinner." As he spoke, Jiang Shen naturally grasped Guan Yanru's hands, which were very cold.
"Alright, got it......" Huan Guanjia immediately sent someone to push Yan Ruhua.
"How come your hands are so cold?!" Jiang Shen furrowed his brow and rubbed her small hands.
"It's nothing..." Guan Yanrou withdrew her small hand without a trace and asked, "Where is Xiao Xi? He hasn't shown up for dinner yet?"
"Xiao Xi just fell asleep after making a fuss, let him sleep for now... if he wakes up hungry later, I'll leave some food in the kitchen for him." Jiang Shen smiled lightly.
"Oh... speaking of the kitchen, I suddenly remembered something." Guan Yanrou said as she walked with Jiang Shen to the dining hall, "A few days ago, my second brother told me that he wanted to meet Season Chef's daughter, isn't her name Xiao Fei? My brother looked quite anxious..."
"Yes, it's indeed Ji Xiaofei." Jiang Shen nodded, "However, Ji Xiaofei went to the UK a few days ago to participate in a cooking competition hosted by Prince Harry and his wife, so she might not be back until next month."
"Is it?" Guan Yan's lips pursed slightly, "Then Second Brother will have to wait a bit longer."
Jiang Shen and Guan Yanruo had just sat down when Yan Ruhua returned.
"Where's the little guy?"
Yan Ru Hua smiled and asked Jiang Shen with a pleasant expression, as if the unpleasantness that had just occurred between Guan Yan Xi was non-existent.
"Made a big fuss and fell asleep..." Jiang Shen chuckled lightly.
"Really?" Yan Ruhua asked with concern, "Then let the kitchen leave some food for the child, otherwise what to do when the child wakes up hungry later."
"Don't worry, madam. I've already instructed the kitchen to keep some food for young master." The butler smiled lightly as he stood aside and poured soup for Yan Ruhua, Guan Yanyi, and Jiang Shensheng.
Suddenly, the living room phone rang.
Wen Guang's family put the soup in front of Yan Ruhua and said: "Excuse me, I'll go answer a phone call."
"I'll get the soup." Jiang Shen got up and ladled some soup into a bowl for Guan Yanxi, "Hmmm... it smells really good."
"Thank you..."
The phone rang urgently, and the butler walked over to answer it: "Hello, Jiang's Manor."
I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but after a pause, the housekeeper turned his head towards the dining room: "Okay... I understand, okay... goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Wen hesitated for a moment before walking into the dining room and saying: "Young Master, Second Young Master has gone to Canada again, it seems that he is suspected of breaking the law in Canada and has been detained by the police there."
Jiang Shen suddenly lifted his head, Jiang Zhun went to Canada again?! That is to find... Shen Wenxin!
"Is Xiao Zhun breaking the law in Canada? Didn't he say what happened?" Guan Yan asked anxiously.
"He didn't go into details over the phone." Wen Guan's brow furrowed.
Jiang Shen had already anticipated that Jiang Zhun would not find Shen Wenxin in one go and would make a second trip... He just didn't expect it to be so soon, but given Jiang Zhun's personality... how could he possibly break the law!
"Alright, young master... I'll fly over right away to take care of the second young master's matter and will be in touch with you by phone at any time." After thinking for a moment, butler Wen felt that this was the most suitable thing to do.
"Good!" Jiang Shen nodded.
"I'll set off now." Wen Guanjia said as he nodded at Yan Ruhua and Guan Yanyi, then immediately arranged for the driver to take him to the airport.
"Don't worry..." Guan Yanhong turned her head and whispered to comfort Jiang Shen, "It's probably a misunderstanding. Xiao Zhun is so steady, he won't make any trouble."
"Hmm, I know..." Jiang Shen smiled at Guan Yanxi.
It's easy to say that... but Guan Yanxi has never seen Jiang Zhen's crazy appearance when Shen Wenhua disappeared back then. After so many years, it's not just Jiang Shen whose memories are still fresh, even Pei Dingkun and Wen Guangjia probably can't forget either.
"Let's eat..." Jiang Shen added a dish of braised pork for Guan Yanxi.
But the next meal he ate was tasteless and insipid.
Guan Yan could tell that Jiang Shen was worried, but she didn't ask any more questions.
Dinner had not ended yet, and Jiang Xirui woke up saying she wanted to eat.
Guan Yanru accompanied Jiang Xirui to finish dinner, and because there was no Jiang Shen on the side to take care of her, she ended up falling asleep on Guan Yanru's bed.
Jiang Shen has been in the study room since after dinner and hasn't come out yet. Guan Yanruo covered Jiang Xirui with a quilt, added a thick layer of clothing, and came out to ask: "Young Master isn't asleep yet?"
"Not yet......" The servant came down from upstairs, "I heard you making a phone call in the study, young mistress hurry up and sleep......you just got out of the hospital and your body is not well, I'll help you back."
"It's nothing, nothing..." Guan Yanhong hurriedly smiled and waved her hand, "I just walked a bit slowly, no need for anyone to support me...and I slept all day today, so it's good to move around now."
"That's good." The servant smiled at Guan Yanru and said, "If the young lady has any other instructions, just call me. I'm on night shift tonight."
"It's alright... you should hurry up and rest, there shouldn't be anything urgent tonight either."
"No way!" the servant hastily said, "I heard the housekeeper specifically instructed before he left that now the young mistress is ill and it's a special period, so at night we need to have someone stay awake in case the young mistress needs anything."
Hearing the servant say that, Guan Yan's heart couldn't help but warm up again, hearing the steward leave in such a hurry... and still not forgetting to remind the servant to take care of himself.
"Don't be so delicate, go to sleep... don't overexert yourself after a busy day." Guan Yanxi said with a light smile.
