Unfortunately, with Elder Liu and Elder Qu causing trouble in the middle, the time that Chen Meng’er and Yuwen Jing could spend together became shorter and shorter. Yuwen Jing wanted to directly tell Elder Liu and Elder Qu about his relationship with Chen Meng’er. But he was rejected by Chen Meng’er.
There was nothing he could do. Chen Meng’er had tried to test the waters by asking about what they’d think of she was in a relationship with him.
Chen Meng’er clearly remembered that at that time, when she had just asked this question, Elder Liu and Elder Qu’s reaction was extremely strong. They objected strongly. Elder Liu had said that even if he agreed to her being with Chen Ming, he would not agree to her being with Yuwen Jing.
Even now, Chen Meng’er was still puzzled in her heart. Wasn’t this about her and Yuwen Jing? Why did her grandfather want to involve Chen Ming? Chen Meng’er even stupidly told Yuwen Jing about this question in her heart.
At that time, after Yuwen Jing heard it, his heart went cold. Fortunately, his girlfriend was careless in this aspect. Otherwise, he would probably have to be on tenterhooks for the rest of his life.
It would be strange if Elder Qu and Elder Liu believed Chen Meng’er’s words. However, they would not expose Chen Meng’er’s thoughts. “Girl, you haven’t read many medical books. The past two days, when we were playing chess, you were simply holding a medical book.”
“That’s right. If you weren’t holding a medical book, you were pecking at the chicken. Do you think we didn’t see it?”
Chen Meng’er was embarrassed by their words. “Ah, then why do you act like you don’t know anything?”
“Girl, it’s not easy to hide your little scheme from us,” Elder Liu said meaningfully to Chen Meng’er.
Elder Liu’s words and the meaningful smile her grandfathers gave her made Chen Meng’er’s heart thump. Did these two old men know about her and Yuwen Jing?
However, Chen Meng’er thought it was impossible. During this period of time, she was afraid that the two old men would find out about her and Yuwen Jing, so she was extra careful. She couldn’t have been discovered.
“Girl, why are you still in a daze? Come over quickly,” Elder Qu urged.
“Oh, I’m coming.” Chen Meng’er recovered from her thoughts. She collected her emotions and sped up a few steps to catch up. However, as they walked, Chen Meng’er thought to herself that it was not a good idea to keep the matter between her and Yuwen Jing a secret.
Sooner or later, she would have to tell everyone. And she understood the temperaments of her two grandfathers very well. If they knew that she and Yuwen Jing had been keeping it a secret from the two of them, they would be very sad and angry. Of course, this sadness was for her, but anger was definitely for Yuwen Jing. These two old men couldn’t bear to be angry at her.

Chen Meng’er and the others followed Xiao Liu to a small room. “Elder Liu, Elder Qu, they’re inside…” Xiao Liu didn’t know what to say to these two old men.
Elder Qu and Elder Liu didn’t speak. The two of them waved their hands at Xiao Liu, indicating that he shouldn’t say anything else.
When the people inside Elder Jiang’s small room heard the sound of the door opening, they raised their heads. When they saw Elder Qu and Elder Liu, they revealed a trace of a smile. “You’re here.”
Chen Meng’er had only met Elder Jiang a few times. Her impression of Elder Jiang was mostly what she had seen on television. However, when she saw Elder Jiang this time, she was still a little surprised.
Chen Meng’er was only a little surprised, but Elder Qu and Elder Liu could not believe what they saw in front of them.
In the cold small room, Elder Jiang, who had gray hair before, now had a head full of white hair. His face, which just had a few deep wrinkles before, was shriveled.
Elder Jiang had aged overnight.
Now, Elder Jiang looked more than ten years older than Elder Qu and Elder Liu.
“Elder Jiang, why are you doing this?” Elder Qu sighed deeply when he saw Elder Jiang like this.
“Why? In the end, it’s all for one thing, power. Aren’t you the same?” Elder Jiang raised his head and looked up at Elder Qu, his eyes slowly filled with mockery.
Elder Qu shook his head, “I’m not the same as you. We pursue different things. If it weren’t for the things the Jiang family did that crossed our bottom line, our family wouldn’t have interfered.”
“Hehe, at this point, you can say whatever you want.” It was obvious that Elder Jiang didn’t believe what Elder Qu said.
Elder Qu was provoked by Elder Jiang’s expression. “Since you don’t believe what I said, why did you call us here?” Elder Qu’s temper was also rising.
“I just wanted to see you guys once before I die. The few of us have been fighting for our entire lives. I always thought that I would be the final winner. However, I never expected that I would lose in the end. It was actually because of this little girl. I underestimated her.” Elder Jiang cast his already murky gaze, onto Chen Meng’er. “Elder Liu, I didn’t expect that you would find such a person to rely on for when you grow old. I always thought that you would be the one who would die bitter and alone.”
What Elder Jiang had expected had all failed. He had never expected that he would become the one who had failed the most and suffered the most.
“Elder Jiang, you shouldn’t have taken that step. When you chose that path, you knew that this place would be your home sooner or later. You don’t have to struggle anymore. They have enough evidence to sentence you.”?Elder Liu had never had a good impression of Elder Jiang.
So, besides being surprised at first, when he looked at Elder Jiang later, he felt that Elder Jiang deserved it.
