CHAPTER 1823: CHAPTER 1759: CAN’T GO BACK YET

Chiang Xiao looked at Ying Qiong.

If it was something left by great-grandmother and it’s a bracelet suitable for women, why not give it to Ying Qiong?

She was worried Ying Qiong might feel uncomfortable.

However, when Ying Qiong saw her looking over, she couldn’t help but feel a bit warmed.

Such a lustrous and translucent jade bracelet would be liked by most girls, but Chiang Xiao was unique, with no trace of greed in her eyes, and even worried that she would feel jealous or unhappy.

This child is really quite good.

Ying Qiong took the bracelet, took hold of Chiang Xiao’s hand, and started to put the bracelet on her wrist, saying, "Little, to tell you the truth, grandmother had slender wrists, and I can’t wear this bracelet, it doesn’t fit. I see that your wrists are also slender, so it should fit you well. Back then, grandmother said this bracelet would find its destined owner, and she always felt it didn’t quite suit my mother or me."

After saying this, the bracelet was already on Chiang Xiao’s wrist.

It fit perfectly, neither too large nor too small.

Moreover, the green jade color, against the snow-white skin of Chiang Xiao’s wrist, looked incredibly beautiful.

"You see, it really suits you, so just keep it."

Old Master Jiang also nodded approvingly.

"Keep it, consider this your great-grandfather’s gift for meeting you for the first time. When you go back, you’ll receive more things from your great-grandmother and grandmother."

"Thank you, great-grandfather."

Chiang Xiao gently caressed the jade bracelet on her wrist, feeling a slight chill; the quality of the jade was evidently excellent.

Old Master Jiang then looked at Ah Liu, gently patting the box, and said, "This box, every time I leave D State, I carry it with me, no matter where I go. Do you know why?"

Ah Liu shook his head in silence.

"Inside, there are the seals of the Family Head of the Jiang Family, along with items given to me by the master back then, claimed to ward off misfortune and ensure safety. There are also some personal items left by your grandmother, which I’ve always carried for peace of mind."

Chiang Xiao understood, so that’s how it was.

She had been wondering why Old Master Jiang, while critically ill and coming to the Capital City, would bring jewelry; it turns out there were items for protection inside?

However, if it was for protection, carrying such a box seemed unnecessary, perhaps she could draw a peace charm for him.

But at that moment, Chiang Xiao didn’t speak.

Whatever Old Master Jiang chose to carry was his choice.

Old Master Jiang looked at Ah Liu again and said, "Do you know why I want you to come back home with me? You’ve been missing for so many years. I thought of finding a suitable candidate to take over the Jiang Family, but after looking, there isn’t a single suitable person. Now there are constant undercurrents in the Jiang Family, everyone has their own thoughts. I know the Jiang Family will eventually fall apart, but before that, you need to return and gather the forces that can still be assembled."

"I cannot return yet," Ah Liu said calmly.

Before Chiang Xiao came in, they were discussing this issue.

"Why is that?"

"My memory hasn’t fully recovered, going back now, many won’t recognize me."

"How does that matter? I’ll have someone with you always to remind you," Old Master Jiang said anxiously.

Ah Liu shook his head, "I don’t want to rely on anyone. Besides, have you ever thought if I return with an injured mind and the family heads notice, will they trust me to take over the Jiang Family? I’m afraid going back now will only cause bigger disruptions."
