Chapter 355: 258 Deadly Rivals Face Off!

Jiang Jiujue nodded his head in feigned calmness, silently mouthing: "Surname Xia, with the single character ’Ye’ for the given name, when put together that’s Xia—Ye..."

As the word ’Ye’ left his mouth, Jiang Jiujue’s expression was struck as if by lightning on a clear day.

Xia Ye?

Which ’Xia’? Which ’Ye’?

Could it be... the very Xia Ye he was searching for...

He inquired further about Xia Ye with his eldest son.

Very soon, he confirmed it.

It was indeed the Xia Ye he was looking for!

Jiang Jiujue hastily confirmed, "That girl, she’s already with our Xuanxuan?"

"This..." As for how far they had gone, Jiang He wasn’t sure; Jiang Xuan seldom talked about his own matters. However, based on what Jiang He could guess...

"Should be pretty much there."

What?

Jiang Jiujue felt utterly unwell at the thought.

If they let the demoness become their queen, wouldn’t Ear Mountain be thrown into chaos?

After pondering for a while, Jiang Jiujue with a serious expression informed Jiang He, "After we get back to the country, find a chance to arrange a meeting, I want to see that girl."

Jiang He: "Ah, okay, I’ll ask her out in a few days."

Jiang Jiujue clicked his tongue, "No day like today. Didn’t they say we will be home by around six in the evening, Beijing Time? Why don’t you arrange it for then?"

So urgent?

Jiang He too was puzzled by the old man’s mood swings since his recovery: "It’s like this, Dad, Yeye is still attending university, she can’t just come out whenever..."

Jiang Jiujue snorted with his nose in the air.

She’s attending university?

There’s actually a university daring enough to enroll her? Aren’t they afraid she’ll blow their hard-built school to smithereens?

With that thought, Jiang Jiujue waved his hand, "Send a car for her, pick her up and drive her back. Make some delicious dishes like chicken or rabbit meat for dinner, I guarantee she’ll come."

Jiang He verbally agreed, but inside he was filled with doubts.

How did the old man know Yeye likes chicken? Listening to the tone, it’s almost as if he’s quite familiar with Yeye?

Impossible. When the old man was conscious nine years ago, Yeye must have still been in the hands of traffickers; the two couldn’t possibly know each other.

Regardless, he still relayed the instructions as the old man had ordered, "Alright, Dad, you rest a while longer, I’ll call you when we arrive in Capital City..."

After speaking, he asked the accompanying medical staff to perform another routine physical check-up on the old man, then made sure he was well settled.

The arrangement to bring the old man back to Capital City had been quite rushed, with his sons all hoping to get their father back home for care as soon as possible, and Jiang Jiujue himself was exceptionally determined to return to his country.

The attending physician had no choice, but to dispatch several accompanying medical staff and brought some emergency medical equipment and supplies, finally allowing the old man to travel back to his country so swiftly.

With the old man resting, Jiang He summoned his three younger brothers to sit down on the sofas and discuss some matters after their father’s return to the country.

Jiang He first looked at Jiang Feng, "Third brother, since second brother and fourth brother have returned to the ancestral home, and now that our father has woken up, you..."

Jiang Feng leaned back, his posture oozing the air of a successful person: "With our old man back, of course, I’ll stay at the ancestral home for a while, big brother..." His gaze slowly swept over his second and fourth brothers: "You wouldn’t mind, right... "

Since childhood, the third brother had always been cunning, his temperament quite different from the straightforward Jiang He.

Jiang He lifted his chin slightly, "What are you talking about? I’m always the one asking you to come home."

Jiang Shan chimed in as well, "Third brother, cut the jokes; get back here soon. Big brother always keeps your place well-maintained for you, ready for you to move in anytime."

Jiang Feng smiled, "Then I’ll thank big brother for that."

Regardless of what the older and second brothers said, he didn’t care at all. From beginning to end, the person implied to be ’not welcoming him’ wasn’t his eldest brother.

His shrewd gaze then shifted back to Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan had not joined their discussion from the start, just sitting off to the side comfortably flipping through a contract, seemingly oblivious to their conversation.

Still as unfathomable as ever, one could never guess what he was truly thinking...

**

Before the plane even touched down, the news of Old Master Jiang’s awakening had already flown back to Capital City.

On her way back to the dormitory after class, Xia Ye received a phone call from her dad.

Xia Yuzheng: "Yeye, has President Jiang contacted you? I heard Old Master Jiang woke up..."

Logically, Old Master Jiang’s return to the country would cause a bit of tension in the business community, with which a beautiful university student like Xia Ye need not concern herself.

But considering his daughter’s relationship with President Jiang, Xia Yuzheng thought it best to let her know.

On her end, Xia Ye fell silent for a moment.

Jiang Uncle told her yesterday that an acquaintance was coming, and now her dad was saying Old Master Jiang was about to return; could it be that the ’old acquaintance’ Jiang Uncle mentioned... was Old Master Jiang?
