It must have been that letter that deceived her, or rather, Shangguan You who deceived her. If it weren’t for that letter from her, how could he have believed that Cheng Li was his granddaughter?
So, if anyone is to blame, blame that damned woman, Shangguan You. If she were still alive, he would definitely teach her a good lesson.
Old Jiang found a scapegoat for his mistake, and felt a little better. He placed all the blame on Shangguan You, believing it was all her fault.
Otherwise, how could he have thought Cheng Li was his granddaughter?
Never mind, the mistake has already been made, and now he can only let it be. Otherwise, the Jiang Family’s face would really be gone. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
While thinking about this, Old Jiang stood up, preparing to see off the guests. Just then, Old Madam Jiang walked over, looking at Old Jiang’s unpleasant expression and asked, "Dear, what’s wrong? Why do you look so upset?"
"Nothing!" Old Jiang didn’t want his wife to worry, so he shook his head gently. Today’s family recognition banquet was nearing its end, and he had to see it to a good conclusion.
As for that imposter Cheng Li, he’d settle accounts with her after the guests left. How could a sparrow dream of becoming a phoenix? What a joke.
Old Madam Jiang saw that Old Jiang was unwilling to talk about it and didn’t press further. She intended to go see off the guests together with him. But just as they were about to descend the stairs, they saw Cheng Li walking up.
Today, Cheng Li was very happy, her face was adorned with a brilliant smile. Moreover, she was already the rightful eldest miss of the Jiang Family, so she was very grateful to Old Jiang.
"Grandpa, Grandma!" Cheng Li greeted them with a smile, then quickly walked up to the elderly couple, saying, "Grandpa, Grandma, you don’t need to go down, my third uncle and third aunt have already seen the guests off."
Seeing Cheng Li’s smug expression, Old Jiang found it extremely glaring, and suddenly, a deep-seated hatred that he thought he had suppressed began to rise again. Unable to restrain himself, he raised his hand and slapped Cheng Li across the face.
A loud smack resonated, leaving not only Cheng Li and Old Madam Jiang stunned, but also Jiang Rui and An Ru who had just planned to come over, frozen in place, staring blankly at the scene on the stairs, unable to comprehend for a long time.
"Grandpa?" Cheng Li was the first to react, looking at Old Jiang with a face full of grievance. She didn’t understand why he would hit her out of the blue. Weren’t things fine before?
Now that the banquet just ended, why did he hit her? What’s the reason?
"Shut up, don’t call me Grandpa, you’re not worthy." Old Jiang roared loudly, his old eyes sharp as blades, piercing into Cheng Li’s heart, causing her to tremble and feel guilty.
Cheng Li thought, could it be that Old Jiang discovered she was a fraud? How could this be possible? She shouldn’t have exposed herself, right?
If it wasn’t her, then who could it be? Could it be her dear mother? If that’s the case, she definitely wouldn’t let her mother get away with it.
Mother or not, anyone daring to block her path to wealth, she absolutely would not let them have it easy.
Even as she thought about this, Cheng Li’s face remained calm, and she said to Old Jiang, "Grandpa, what did I do wrong? Why is Grandpa so angry?"
"Bitch, I said don’t call me Grandpa, you’re not worthy!" Old Jiang shouted again, leaving everyone more puzzled.
Especially Old Madam Jiang; she looked at Cheng Li, then at Old Jiang, recalling his unpleasant expression earlier, and thinking about the phone call Old Jiang took in the study previously, a bold speculation jumped into her mind.
