“Dad? Aren’t you asleep?” Shen Mo quickly stood up to support the old man.
Zhao Jiao quickly stood up and placed a cushion on the old man’s back. “Dad, aren’t you usually asleep at this time? Why are you still eavesdropping?”
Old Master Zhao glared at his daughter. Zhao Jiao pouted and stopped talking.
It was precisely because of the Shen family’s matter and the previous investigation of Zhao Kai and his sister that Zhao Li came to his daughter’s house to stay for a few days. The old man had been in politics for decades. Although he had retired, the influence was still there. As long as he was around, no one dared to touch the Shen family easily.
Wen Nian had already stood up. The old man in front of him looked 70 to 80% similar to Zhao Jiao. It seemed that he was Shen Jun’s grandfather. He had long heard that the Zhao family was in politics, so the old man’s aura suppressed the few people beside him.
Looking at the slightly uneasy Wen Nian, Zhao Jiao reminded him, “This is my father, Shen Jun’s grandfather. Call him Grandpa.”
“Grandpa,” Wen Nian called obediently.
Although Zhao Li’s expression was serious, there was a smile in his eyes. He had long heard that his grandson’s little girlfriend was not bad. From her opinion just now, the old master knew that this little girl was indeed smart.
After he sat down, he gestured for the others to sit down as well. Then, he said to Wen Nian, “Why did you say that Jiang Wei would take down the Xu family?”
It was the same question, but Wen Nian didn’t know how to answer it. What she knew was what she had heard in her previous life. However, looking at the current development, it was probably what she had thought. However, she couldn’t say such things directly.
Zhao Jiao thought that the old man’s dignity had frightened Wen Nian. She unhappily picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to the old man. “Dad, eat some fruit first. Don’t scare the child.”
Zhao Li was a little speechless. He, a patient with high blood sugar, was eating watermelons so late at night? Wasn’t his daughter going to murder his father?
He waved his hand and continued to ask, “Jiang Wei relied on the Xu family to get to where he is today. The Jiang family doesn’t have much capital. Do you think he can take over the Xu family?”
“He can,” Wen Nian tried her best to control her emotions and looked straight at Zhao Li.
Zhao Li clearly didn’t expect her to say that. He was a little surprised at first, then nodded for Wen Nian to continue.
Only then did Wen Nian say, “I heard from Shen Jun about this. Even if the Xu family’s antique business is good and has a lot of influence, the Xu family only has Jiang Chun’s mother as their only daughter. To put it bluntly, everything in the Xu family belongs to the Jiang family in the end. It’s just a matter of time.” “It’s natural for two people to get married. If you get married to the Shen family, everything in the Shen family will belong to the two of you,” Zhao Li said slowly.
As soon as he said that, Wen Nian’s face, which had just turned red, turned red again. That was not what she meant. However, she was relieved to see that there was teasing in the old man’s eyes but no malice.
She quickly composed herself, then looked at Shen Jun and said, “If they only have Jiang Chun as their daughter, it’s more important to choose a good husband for Jiang Chun and strengthen the Jiang family’s status. Just like you said, these will belong to Jiang Chun and her husband in the future.”
“But Jiang Wei didn’t do that. He used Jiang Chun to kidnap Shen Jun and used Jiang Chun to gain Shen Jun’s sympathy and good impression. But it seems that the Jiang family didn’t come to you to express goodwill, right? Now that Huang Yue said that Shen Jun is in danger, it’s obvious that the Jiang family doesn’t just want a simple marriage. Then there’s something wrong with this matter.”
Actually, everyone present could understand Wen Nian’s words. However, they were all members of the Shen and Zhao families. After so many years of experience in the business world and politics, it was not surprising for them to think of this. However, Wen Nian, a little girl, being able to think of this made everyone look at her in a different light.
Zhao Li continued to ask, “Do you think there’s a problem? Or are you guessing something?”
Wen Nian licked his dry lips and said carefully, “I don’t know if my intuition was right, but if the Jiang Wei still has an heir, Jiang Chun can also be a pawn, and the Xu family can also be a stepping stone.”
As soon as she said that, they all looked at Shen Jun. At the moment, only the Zhao family knew about Zhao Kai’s matter. Shen Jun had only found out recently.
However, Shen Jun widened his eyes and shook his head, indicating that he had never told Wen Nian.
At this moment, Zhao Li narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, “Is this just your guess?”
