The secretary stood dumbfounded at the door for quite a long time before recovering, her face turning a shade paler:
"President Su, Miss Jiang, she...."
Jiang’s mother waved her hand:
"It’s fine, go on with your work."
How could Jiang’s mother not understand her little sister-in-law?
The secretary finally left as if a weight had been lifted and even closed the door behind her.
In the office, Jiang’s mother was very calm.
It was Jiang Qiu who seemed a bit more anxious.
"Sister-in-law, why don’t you speak to Aye? How could he bring Xiyue to a military court? Xiyue was the granddaughter-in-law that Grandpa had chosen for us since she was little!"
Jiang’s mother furrowed her brows:
"Granddaughter-in-law?
When was that decided, and how come I, as her mother, wasn’t aware?"
Jiang’s mother hadn’t opposed the idea before but had never expressed support either.
As for Gu Xiyue, Jiang’s mother had not been fond of her for a long time.
But there was no helping it; the family patriarch doted on her, and her husband, as well as her brother-in-law, including Jiang Qiu, the young sister-in-law, were all very affectionate towards that girl.
After all, as a wife, it wasn’t her place to say much more.
But now, Jiang’s mother was not so laissez-faire.
After all, her son had said that he had someone he loved and that he would marry no one but her!
Moreover, it was because of Gu Xiyue that they had lost their eldest grandson.
It would be strange if Jiang’s mother could still like her!
Now Jiang Qiu had the nerve to come directly to her, what did she think Jiang’s mother was? A pushover?
Since marrying into the Jiang Family so many years ago, from the family patriarch to the younger generations, Jiang’s mother had never been slighted.
The only exception was Jiang Qiu.
But if it wasn’t anything serious, she just ignored it and let it go.
But this time, it was about her own son’s lifetime happiness; a mother has her own ideas!
Indeed, as soon as Jiang’s mother spoke, Jiang Qiu was at a loss for words:
"Sister-in-law, how could you..."
Jiang’s mother chuckled:
"How could I? What era are we in now? There’s no such thing as arranged marriages. My son will marry whoever he wants to marry, and if he doesn’t want to marry someone, no one can force him!"
The old lady isn’t dead yet!
Jiang Qiu’s mind clanged deafeningly for a while before she managed to recover:
"Sister-in-law, it couldn’t be that Aye has met a girl he likes?" she asked.
Jiang’s mother glanced at her but did not respond.
However, Jiang Qiu’s mind was running fast now, and she practically confirmed it:
"Who is it? Which family’s daughter? Is she worthy of our Jiang Family?"
Just hearing that, Jiang’s mother was very displeased.
"The person my son likes, even if she were a beggar, I would have no objections. There’s no question of who’s worthy or not!" Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel·fıre·net
Jiang’s mother was very assertive.
Jiang Qiu felt incredibly wronged, but she didn’t have the courage to really make a scene with Jiang’s mother.
The person holding real power at Jiang Group right now was Jiang’s mother.
There was no other way, Father Jiang was simply not cut out for business.
The Jiang Family had a younger uncle too, but his family had no plans to take over either.
All the burdens of the huge Jiang Group had to be shouldered solely by Jiang’s mother.
Fortunately, her second son had gradually made a name for himself in the company over the years, sharing half of the burden with Jiang’s mother.
"Sister-in-law, I didn’t mean that, but what Aye is doing, how will the outsiders speak of us?"
Jiang’s mother glanced at her sideways:
"What others say is their business, their mouths are on their faces, we are humans and not gods; we can’t control everything.
If you have nothing else, then you may go back. I have a meeting soon."
It was a clear dismissal, and Jiang Qiu understood.
"Sister-in-law, I’ll be taking my leave then."
Jiang’s mother didn’t even respond, busy looking at her documents.
As soon as she left the office, Jiang Qiu’s face immediately darkened.
Jiang Huai saw her from a distance and quickly retreated to his office, starting to make a phone call to his brother.
