Chapter 297: 203 Wanwan Protects Her Husband, Wants to Divide the Family and Starts a Dispute (2 more updates)_2

“I’ll be right there,” Xie Jing was still very docile in front of the old man.

“Tongtong, go find the medicine box.” Du Jinglan examined his fingers, “This is too severe, maybe you should see a doctor.”

“No need, it will be fine in a moment.” Seeing a doctor, they would naturally be able to tell at a glance that his fingers had been forcibly twisted, not just pinched. That would give it away, “Second Master, Fifth Master will be here soon, don’t let me affect everyone, it’s okay.”

“If there’s anything wrong, let me know in time,” Du Jinglan cautioned.

“I know.”

…

After everyone was seated, Jiang Jinsang suddenly leaned over to Tang Wan and asked in a low voice:

“Did he give you any trouble?”

Tang Wan smiled composedly, “How could he, you’re overthinking it.”

Such disgusting and sordid matters, Tang Wan didn’t want to mention them either.

Jiang Jinsang did not continue to ask.

The dinner started off with a great atmosphere, but after a few drinks, Old Xie looked at Shen Zhixian, suddenly becoming quite sentimental, “I’ve always wanted to find a good family for Zhixian, but now…”

“I can hardly bear to let her leave home.”

“Getting older seems to make one start to be sentimental.”

“Father, even if Zhixian gets married, she’ll still be in Beijing, so close by, she can come back anytime,” Du Jinglan reassured, “It’s not like we won’t see her.”

“That’s still different, after all, getting married and constantly visiting her parental home, what would that look like?” Old Xie laughed, “Look at me, such a good day, why talk about these things, let’s just eat.”

…

Toward the latter part of the meal, the two children were already full and being watched by their nanny, playing not far away.

Shen Zhixian suddenly cleared her throat, “Uncle, there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you.”

“What is it, so serious, just speak your mind.”

“Actually, whether I and Second Master Jiang will end up together is still hard to say.”

Upon her finishing these words, Jiang Yanting’s face was expressionless, but he felt extremely displeased. Even knowing that her words might be for show, it was extremely uncomfortable to listen to.

“What exactly are you trying to say?” Old Xie chuckled.

“Actually, I’ve always felt bad for troubling you all these years to take care of me and Taotao. Now that Taotao is older, and I have a stable job in Beijing, I’m thinking about moving out.”noveldrama

“Why suddenly move out?” Xie Tongtong was the first to speak, “Auntie, isn’t it good living with us?”

Xie Jing suddenly sneered, “Tongtong, it’s not that she wants to move out, she wants to separate, can’t you see?”

“Now that she’s climbed the high branch, she’s confident, and it’s just different.”

“Burning the bridge before crossing the river?”

…

“Xie Jing!” Old Xie rebuked, “What nonsense are you spouting!”

“Uncle, actually, he’s not wrong. I really have this idea. Always being like this is not a solution. Moreover, separating the family is not something that can be resolved in a day or two. Asset evaluation, hiring a lawyer for notarization and division, it all takes time and effort, and we need to plan for the long term.”

Though these words came from Xie Jing’s mouth, hearing Shen Zhixian acknowledge it was a completely different concept. The Xie family all remained silent, but a trace of unusual expression flickered across their faces.

After all, in a great family, separating the family business is not taken lightly!

“I will eventually have to leave the Xie family, and if I separate after marriage, it might inevitably cause unnecessary trouble. It’s better to handle many things beforehand.”

Shen Zhixian said it lightly, having the initiative in her hands, she was certainly fearless.

“Zhixian, are you serious?” Du Jinglan probed again.

“Probably has been thinking about separating for a while now, it’s just that previously there was no one to take care of her child. Now with Second Master Jiang, to her, our family is probably nothing…”

“Xie Jing!” Suddenly, Xie Yongqi, who had been silent, spoke up, his gaze fiercely glaring at him, “Don’t speak nonsense!”

His gaze was sharp, his voice full of warning.

“I’m not speaking nonsense, if it wasn’t for the Xie family, back then you might have already—”

“Xie Jing!” Old Xie suddenly slammed the table, the force causing everyone’s cups and plates to tremble, “What are you trying to say?”

“Grandpa—” As a cousin to Xie Duo, Xie Jing also referred to Old Xie as Grandpa.

“Separating is inevitable, that is what she deserves.” Old Xie frowned, “Talking about these things at the dinner table, aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughing stock, I still care about face!”

“She’s only so bold because the Jiang family is here. The company on the other hand…” Xie Jing continued to speak, but was rebuked by a cold stare from the old man.
