Let you be a great man, not a scumbag

Chapter 1262 Grandpa has only one grandson

Jiang Cheng felt extremely warm in his heart when he saw the two grandfathers caring for him.

"Thank you grandpas for your concern. I want to eat millet porridge."

Hearing this, the middle-aged butler who had been waiting silently by the side turned around and left quickly without saying a word.

Feeling that the atmosphere at the scene had become a little stiff, Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at his father Jiang Jianmin.

He asked softly, "Dad, where is my mom?"

Jiang Jianmin's tense face relaxed a little. He took a deep breath and slowly answered, "Your mother went to play with her sisters."

Jiang Cheng was not too surprised to hear this answer.

After all, when living in Chengdu, mother Li Yan's daily activities were nothing more than playing cards, shopping, or practicing calligraphy.

In addition to some regular card-playing friends, she keeps in close contact with various young ladies on her phone almost every day, even those whom Jiang Cheng doesn't know.

Thinking about it this way, these sisters should all be from Kyoto.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng then turned his gaze to Jiang Chenghong who was sitting next to him, and asked with concern: "Second Grandpa, did you take your medicine on time today? How do you feel?"

Jiang Chenghong smiled and nodded when he heard Jiang Cheng's question, and replied: "I have taken it, kid. Don't worry, I have taken my medicine on time and in the right dosage, and I am in good health now."

Speaking of this, the great grandfather sighed heavily, then turned to Jiang Cheng with an angry face and said in a rather annoyed tone.

"I get angry when I talk about this. Look at him. He didn't tell me he was sick earlier and kept it a secret until now. He is really capable. As people grow up, they have their own ideas."

While saying this, the great grandfather deliberately glanced at Jiang Jianmin who was standing next to him, and there was a clear hint in his eyes.

Hearing the grandfather's ruthless accusation, Jiang Jianmin, who was standing by, knew that he was the one the grandfather was referring to.

His already ugly face instantly turned even more gloomy, as if covered by a layer of frost.

Witnessing this scene, Jiang Cheng quietly denied and overturned all his opinions about his great-grandfather yesterday.

It seems that the great grandfather's cautious attitude in front of his father last night was really a surprise after a long separation.

Before this, Jiang Cheng had heard his second grandfather talk about his grandfather's temper.

The reason why there are always problems in communication between my grandfather and my father.

The most crucial reason is that my great-grandfather’s attitude is too tough and too strong when communicating with others.

After witnessing with his own eyes today how his great grandfather spoke without any regard for other people's feelings, Jiang Cheng finally understood the reason behind it.

From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Jianmin has never communicated with me in such a blunt and unkind way as he did today.

But then again, we were living in the early 1920s.

The concepts of family and relationship between father and son were different then.

Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate again, Jiang Chenghong quickly reached out and grabbed Jiang Cheng, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

With a smile on his face, he said to Jiang Cheng.

"My dear grandson, please persuade your grandfather and your father. I can't persuade them anymore. When they didn't see each other, they were so regretful and kept talking about wanting to see each other. Now that they finally meet, they start quarreling over nothing. They are just like a pair of enemies!"

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked.

"Grandpa, when I went to your study before, didn't you tell me that my father was your only child? What's going on?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Cheng saw his great-grandfather's face change slightly, as if he realized that he had said something wrong.

The great grandfather quickly explained: "My dear grandson, don't misunderstand me. Grandpa only has you as his grandson. The others are just on the surface, not real. Don't worry..."

Seeing his father gently patting Jiang Cheng's shoulder to comfort him.

Jiang Jianmin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly glared at Jiang Cheng fiercely, with a barely perceptible hint of jealousy in his eyes.

Obviously, he felt a little uncomfortable about his father treating his son so dotingly.

For no reason, he suffered a "killing look" from his father.

Jiang Cheng felt very aggrieved and innocent, and could only shrug helplessly, indicating that he was also confused.

However, from his great-grandfather's explanation, Jiang Cheng roughly understood what was going on.

"So what my dad meant just now is that only a few people know my dad's identity now, right?"

The great grandfather nodded and said, "I've told you before that your uncles all ended up in bad situations. I only have your father by my side, and I'm really scared...especially after my term is up, I need to be more cautious."

Jiang Jianmin widened his eyes and looked at his father in disbelief.

Because this was the first time in his life that he heard the word "fear" from his father.

All he could hear all along were tough words from his great-grandfather.

However, today, such words revealing inner fears, worries and fear of loss are unprecedented.

Seeing that his eldest brother seemed to be hesitant to speak, it seemed as if the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them out.

Jiang Chenghong took a deep breath and continued speaking.

"After the end of the master's term, those days were really difficult! As the old saying goes, power is like flowing water, colorless and tasteless, but it has a huge influence. Once the stipulated time is up, the water will flow to the other side, making the rice fields over there fertile. And people will often abandon the original fields without hesitation and turn to more fertile lands."

After saying this, Jiang Chenghong began to persuade Jiang Jianmin earnestly.
