CHAPTER 285: CHAPTER 285: THAT PROMISE

Thinking that Jiang Xue’s in-laws also have the surname Mu, a thought flashed through Old Sir Jiang’s mind. But very quickly, it was cast aside.

He thought it couldn’t be possible. If it were really as he imagined, then how could the Mu Family have stayed in the countryside? They should have been taken back to Beijing long ago.

Mr. Mu gave Old Sir Jiang a deep look and then said, "Jiang Xue is my granddaughter-in-law."

With that one sentence, not only was Old Sir Jiang shocked, but Father Jiang was also surprised. He never expected that Mr. Mu was actually Mu Qiancheng’s grandfather.

Before, Jiang Xue had only told them that Mr. Mu had an impressive status, but she never mentioned that he was Mu Qiancheng’s grandfather.

"What, what?" Old Sir Jiang could hardly trust his ears. If Jiang Xue was Mr. Mu’s granddaughter-in-law, then Jiang Xue’s husband was his grandson?

Thinking about the thought that just flashed through his mind, he originally thought he was overthinking, yet unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.

But why hadn’t Mr. Mu brought them back to Beijing?

Old Sir Jiang couldn’t figure it out, but he didn’t think too much about it. Instead, he laughed and said, "Brother Mu, do you remember our previous agreement?"

"Of course!" Mr. Mu nodded. Naturally, he remembered that agreement. If Mu Qiancheng weren’t already married, if he hadn’t known about Jiang Mingzhu’s character, he might have agreed.

But now, he thought, even though Jiang Mingzhu’s family background was good, compared to Jiang Xue, she didn’t even measure up to a single finger.

"It’s truly unexpected. Our agreement, by chance, actually came to pass." Old Sir Jiang’s smile grew broader. Going round and round, he truly became in-laws with Mr. Mu.

"What do you mean?" Mr. Mu didn’t comprehend immediately and looked at Old Sir Jiang. If he dared to suggest Mu Qiancheng marry Jiang Mingzhu, Mr. Mu would absolutely fall out with Old Sir Jiang.

"Brother Mu, Jiang Xue is my granddaughter," Old Sir Jiang said with a smile, delivering a surprising revelation. Mr. Mu widened his eyes and looked at Old Sir Jiang, asking, "Brother, you’re not deceiving me, are you?"

"Brother Mu, at this point, why would I deceive you? Anyway, I only recently found out that Jiang Xue is my granddaughter. She is Jiang Yun’s child."

"What?" Mr. Mu grew even more astonished. He knew Jiang Yun was Old Sir Jiang’s eldest son. But twenty years ago, Jiang Yun died in an accident. As for Jiang Yun’s wife, it was said that not long after Jiang Yun’s death, she also disappeared.

That disappearance lasted over twenty years, and until now, there has been no news. However, many people believed she was likely no longer alive.

"Surprising, isn’t it? I also found it surprising." Old Sir Jiang restrained his smile and shared the findings of the previous investigation.

"Just based on this?" Mr. Mu frowned, looking at Old Sir Jiang. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe what the old man had found, but any matter requires evidence. Currently, their evidence was clearly insufficient: one was Jiang Xue’s appearance, and the other was the jade bracelet on her hand.

From what he knew, forging a jade bracelet was easy. Besides, as for appearance, even two unrelated people could look alike.

While Mr. Mu was still skeptical, Father Jiang suddenly spoke up, "Not only does Xue’er have that jade bracelet, but another person also has an identical one."

"Another person has one?" This time it was Old Sir Jiang who was stunned. How could there be two bracelets? He clearly remembered that Jiang Yun’s wife only had one bracelet.
