“Chen Feibai’s current situation is like a crippled, at least that’s what Old Master Chen thought. The family will have to support him for the rest of his life. So, Old Master Chen wanted to nurture Chen Feitang instead—the previously underappreciated granddaughter. Do you know what was the first mission he gave her?”
Jiang Yao lowered her head to take a sip of water. She did not answer him, but she could guess that it was probably about Chen Feitang’s marriage.
Chen Feitang was no longer a young woman. She was in her twenties and was still not married. If she were from an ordinary family, her parents would be anxious.
Even though Jiang Yao did not say anything, Chen Xuyao was still very excited. “Old Master Chen let Chen Feitang get married.”
“I really did guess it correctly.” Jiang Yao shrugged and put the glass of water in her hand down. “I’m quite curious why Old Master Chen didn’t urge her to get married at her age.”
Chen Xuyao laughed as he glanced at Jiang Yao discreetly. He did not expect Jiang Yao to look at him at the same time. Their eyes met, and the corners of his lips curled as he quickly looked away. Then he said, “Perhaps it was because Third Brother had not gotten married back then. Old Master Chen knew that Chen Feitang liked him, and he was satisfied with him as his grandson-in-law. Old Master Chen thinks highly of Third Brother; this is something we all know. Then, he married you, but Chen Feitang didn’t give up. Sometimes, she would use Chen Feibai as an excuse to go to the army to look for Third Brother. Old Master Chen didn’t stop her; he let her do whatever she wanted to do. If Chen Feitang were willing, he would still acknowledge Third Brother as his grandson-in-law. However, Third Brother is loyal to you!”
Jiang Yao’s heart was inexplicably stifled; did so many people pay attention to her husband for such a long time?
She did not know that in the past, and she was even more grateful that Lu Xingzhi was devoted to her. Even when she did not care about him, he still waited for so many years.
“The old man must have understood the situation now. He knows that your and Third Brother are very close, and Chen Feitang would not be able to break you guys up. So, he had to give up on that idea. Now, he wants Chen Feitang to go on blind dates; he has arranged for her to meet some of her subordinates, and they are soldiers,” Chen Xuyao said. “That day, I accidentally saw Chen Feitang on a blind date with a man at a teahouse. Chen Feitang did not smile the entire time, but she could not walk away with a straight face. I felt delighted that she had to endure that.”
Jiang Yao laughed. “I think many people would have the same thought as you. If Chen Feitang is unhappy, then everyone else will be happy. It’s the same for me. It’s a pity that I didn’t get to see her unhappy face. Where’s Chen Feibai? Did he use this excuse to stab a knife into Chen Feitang’s heart?”
Jiang Yao was confident that Chen Feibai would not let go of the opportunity to ridicule Chen Feitang. Since Chen Feibai had returned to the capital, he could torture Chen Feitang as much as he wanted because she owed him.
“I don’t know if Chen Feibai did anything, but I know that Old Master Chen is already looking for a wife for him. He is looking at girls from some ordinary families. His only requirement is that they are good people. My father said that the older Old Master Chen gets, the more confused he becomes until he hurts the children’s hearts.”
