Chapter 42: A Family of Excellence
Meng Qingyi frowned. Are they playing a trick on her? They let her come, but they don't let her in.

There was anger in her eyes, and her voice was cold, "Do you want to ask your master whether he wants to see me today?"

The servant looked at her and confirmed that he had never seen her before. The eldest lady said that except for her fiancé's family, no one else should be paid attention to today.

The servant was about to continue to ask for the man to leave when an older housekeeper came out. When he saw the person at the door, he called out in surprise, "Miss?"

"Uncle Wang."

"What are you doing? Why don't you open the door for the young lady?" Uncle Wang asked the servant beside him.

The servant's face turned pale, "But the eldest lady said that no one can come..."

"What Miss?"

"The real young lady is standing outside." Uncle Wang warned sternly.

The servant nervously walked forward to open the door and lowered his head guiltily. How could he have known that the person in front of him would be the eldest daughter? Since the first day he came to the Jiang family, there was only one eldest daughter in the family.

"Miss, the new servant hasn't seen you yet. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Uncle Wang, don't call me Miss. I am no longer one." Meng Qingyi frowned, her face calm.

Uncle Wang laughed dryly and changed the subject, "How has the young lady been doing these years?"

"Very well, where's Uncle Wang?"

Uncle Wang laughed twice and pounded his leg. "Life is fine, but after the master passed away, my body has become more and more useless."

Meng Qingyi glanced at Uncle Wang. When she was in the Jiang family, the only people who were nice to her were Uncle Wang and Old Man Jiang.

"Go to the hospital for a checkup when you have time. I'm at the Beijing First People's Hospital. Uncle Wang can come see me."

"I'm old and useless, so I won't bother you anymore, Miss." Uncle Wang refused, and then continued, "Miss, you have to be careful. I'm afraid they didn't have good intentions when they asked you to come back this time."

Meng Qingyi knew that they had no good intentions, but she still remembered what her grandfather wanted to give her. "Uncle Wang, is there anything that grandpa wants to give me before he dies?"

"I don't know about that. I wasn't there to serve the master before he died, and the servants were kicked out by the old lady."

She blinked gently, her eyes drifting away.

She followed Uncle Wang all the way forward, and seeing the courtyard in front of her had changed drastically, her eyes couldn't help but dim.

"Miss, here we are."

She nodded and walked in.

Inside the door, Jiang Minglang was sitting upright at the top of the sofa, and next to him sat a beautiful young woman who was about forty years old. That was Jiang Zhilan's biological mother, Ding Qingxiu. Jiang Zhilan was sitting below the two of them, holding a teapot in her hand, making tea.

"Master, when Huai Nian comes later, you must take good care of our Lanlan's dowry. You must not let Lanlan suffer any grievances after marrying into the Gu family." The young woman Ding Qingxiu hugged Jiang Minglang's arm and acted coquettishly.

"Of course. Mom has already said that after Lanlan and Huainian get married, she will transfer her 5% of the shares to Lanlan. I will also transfer my 5% of the shares to her. I will never let her suffer any grievances." Jiang Minglang patted the young woman's hand and smiled with his eyes narrowed.

When Jiang Zhilan heard this, he clenched the cup of water in his hand tightly. 5%?

The remaining 20% ​​of the old woman's shares all went into the hands of Jiang Zhiyu, that young boy. The old woman had promised to give her 10% of the shares, but she didn't keep her word.

It is true that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. Although she and Jiang Zhiyu are siblings, the old woman still only cares about her grandson.

But she didn't show it on her face, and raised the corner of her mouth, "Then I'd like to thank Dad and Grandma here first."

The family of three was talking and laughing in the living room. Meng Qingyi stood at the entrance, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to walk in.

When she appeared in the living room, Jiang Zhilan spotted her immediately. "Sister, you're here?" Jiang Zhilan stood up suddenly with a smile on her face.

Jiang Zhilan ignored her, glanced at the three people in the living room, and said nothing.

"Wanwan, you are such a silly kid. You haven't come home yet after being back for so long. I was so worried about you." The young woman quickly let go of Jiang Minglang, walked in front of Meng Qingyi, and stretched out her hands to hug her.

But she took a step to the side, and the young woman's hand froze in mid-air. She coughed awkwardly and retracted her hand, "I'm glad you're back."

"You still remember to come back?" Jiang Minglang shouted loudly.

"If I hadn't invited you, you wouldn't have known you were back."

"Master, Wanwan didn't mean it, so please stop scolding her." Ding Qingxiu returned to Jiang Minglang and patted his chest to calm him down.

Meng Qingyi curled her lips and raised a contemptuous smile, "Where is the thing Grandpa wants to give me?"

"I'm in a hurry, give it to me."

"Asshole, you came back just for your grandfather's things. Are you still thinking about what valuable things your grandfather will give you?"

"You're dreaming."

She frowned slightly, annoyance creeping up her brows, and replied solemnly: "Mr. Jiang, not everyone is like your family, always thinking about your little melons and two dates."

"I came back just to see if Grandpa has anything to say to me."

Jiang Minglang snorted coldly, his eyebrows flying upwards in anger, "Don't just say it, you care about me more than anyone else."

Meng Qingyi just sneered, "You don't want to give it to me? Then I'm leaving." Meng Qingyi turned around and wanted to leave.

Seeing that she was really planning to leave, Jiang Zhilan quickly said, "Sister, you haven't seen grandma yet, how can you leave first?"

"That's your grandma, not my grandma."

Meng Qingyi raised her foot to leave, and heard the sound of a cane falling to the ground behind her, followed by an old cough.

Meng Qingyi paused and looked over, only to see Old Madam Jiang walking out with a cane, followed by an old woman in her sixties.

She took a step back uncontrollably, clenched her fists, and her eyes became fierce.

"What are you arguing about? Do you think this is a vegetable market?" Old Madam Jiang was over seventy years old, with a hunched back. Her voice was still quite loud. Her temples were gray, her complexion was dull and covered with wrinkles. The wrinkles made her face as rough as tree bark, and her eyes were full of shrewdness.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Jiang Zhilan took a look at the expression and hurried over to help the old lady up.

The old lady patted her hands and glanced at Meng Qingyi with calculating eyes, "Lan Lan is still sensible."

Jiang Zhilan helped the old lady to sit on the sofa, while Meng Qingyi just stood there.

"Please sit down." The old lady spoke, and several people from the Jiang family sat down casually.

Meng Qingyi turned around and met the old lady's gaze, "Madam, I'm here to get something that grandpa gave me. Can you give it to me now?"

The old lady stroked the cane in her hand, and looked at her granddaughter whom she had not seen for many years with her cloudy eyes.

After not seeing her for a few years, she has become more and more beautiful. I think she will be able to find a better way out for Jiang.
