Chapter 688 His thoughts
Someone started talking about this matter, and everyone agreed with it. They all thought that Jiang An was too heartless and told Jiang Ping and Chen Qingyu that they would persuade Jiang An.
With the guarantee from family members, Jiang Ping and Chen Qingyu felt much more at ease.
"Everyone has worked so hard to come here to help me deal with things. It's so late now, everyone should go to the main house to rest. Qingyu and I have asked the servants to make arrangements. Let's rest for a night and then talk to An tomorrow."
"A Ping is really thoughtful. Now that he said that, let's go back to the room and adjust. Anyway, there is nothing to do here now."
"Yeah."
"I think this arrangement is fine."
Seeing that everyone agreed, Chen Qingyu and the housekeeper immediately stood up and took everyone to the corresponding rooms to rest. The Jiang family's old house became quiet again, and it would surely become lively again in a few hours.
In the room arranged for Jiang Zhen, Gu Chen was still there talking to him.
"Godfather, you should also go up and lie down and rest for a while. Your body should be exhausted after driving for so long."
"I'm fine. I took a nap on the way and I'm not that sleepy anymore. If you're tired, go and rest."
Gu Chen knew that Jiang Zhen couldn't sleep because he had something on his mind. It was worth it that he had been by Jiang Zhen's side for so many years. So when Jiang Zhen said many things, Gu Chen could understand what he meant just by looking at them.
"You can't sleep because something's on your mind, right?"
"Nothing can escape your eyes!"
"I know that the person who has been with you for so long knows that you are worried about the Jiang family's affairs. Didn't you say that you would persuade Uncle An? Why is Godfather worried about this? Are you afraid that you can't find an excuse to persuade him?"
"That's not a big deal. From what I know about An's personality, he is the most sentimental person. When the time comes, we can all give him some advice and this matter can be resolved."
"Isn't this great? Godfather, what are you unhappy about?"
"I don't know why I feel like this won't go smoothly. What if I can't reach an agreement with An on this matter? Although Jinglan was wrong this time, isn't this punishment a bit too harsh for her?"
"I support Uncle An's decision. Jiang Jinglan is no longer a child. She should be punished for what she did. Besides, this is a matter of life and death. How can she treat it like a joke?"
"Godfather, think about it. If today's tragedy happened, Uncle An would have lost his daughter again. Do you still think the punishment for Jiang Jinglan is severe? People like Jiang Jinglan who are spoiled by their parents and have no law to follow should really be reformed."
"I remember you and Jinglan got along pretty well when you were little. I thought you would speak up for her this time, too!"
"Godfather, you remembered it wrong. I was good friends with Mu Bai when we were little, but then she was kidnapped and I never saw her again. I was very happy when I heard that Uncle An found Mu Bai and I thought I could play with her, but then I heard that she had a car accident again. It has been 17 or 18 years since she was kidnapped."
"I remember that you were very sad when I told you that Mu Bai had a car accident. But don't worry, Mu Bai is still alive. Your uncle An went to the cemetery to verify with the ancestors. It is indeed Mu Bai and our Jiang family. You haven't met after Mu Bai returned to the Jiang family, right? I was going to take you to see her at the last luxury ball, but something happened and I arranged for you to deal with it. It's a pity that you didn't meet each other."
"There's nothing to regret. Mu Bai has already returned to the Jiang family. We'll meet many times in the future. There will always be opportunities to meet again. But after so many years, Mu Bai must have forgotten me, right? If I go to him later, it will only make everyone more embarrassed."
"How could that be? When you were little, you, Jinglan and Mubai were the best of the three. You have remembered Mubai for so long and she will not help you forget it. Don't worry, Xiaochen."
"Forget it. She was kidnapped and then had a car accident. Her life has never been peaceful. She is not like me who has always been with her godfather. So it is normal for her not to remember her childhood playmates. After all, so many things have happened in her life."
Seeing Gu Chen say this, Jiang Zhen also sighed: "Hey! Who said it wasn't true? After being brought back by An, Mu Bai encountered Jing Lan again. Mu Bai's fate is really not peaceful. I also know that you have been secretly investigating Mu Bai's affairs and whereabouts for so many years. Godfather knows what you are thinking."
After hearing what Jiang Zhen said, Gu Chen felt embarrassed. After all, his thoughts were exposed and as a grown man he had to maintain his dignity. But he was more curious about how Jiang Zhen found out about this.
"After so many years, Mu Bai must have met someone important. I'd better stay out of it and quietly protect her. By the way, godfather, how did you find out about this?"
"Then you have exposed too many flaws. You are a fool and you don't know how to hide. Anyone who is not blind can easily see what is in your mind."
Gu Chen's face turned red. He didn't expect that his thoughts were so hidden that they had been exposed long ago and known by Jiang Zhen.
"If you like someone and just stay with them silently, are you willing to do that?"
"There's nothing to be unwilling about. As long as she can live a happy life, I will be satisfied."
"Others say you're like me. I don't think I'm blackmailing you now, but if I were you, I'd give it a try anyway. What if Mu Bai agrees to you? If you just sit there and wait and miss the chance, you'll regret why you didn't fight for it. Even if Mu Bai forgets you, so what? You still remember you, don't you? When you get to know each other again, just tell her what you remember."
Although he knew that Jiang Zhen was really thinking about him, Gu Chen just smiled after hearing what he said and did not continue the topic but immediately changed the subject.
"You should take a rest. It will be dawn in two or three hours. If you don't rest now, you will be sleepy when you are asked to take charge of the situation in the morning. If you can't sleep, it will be good to lie down and close your eyes for a while."
Seeing that Gu Chen changed the subject so abruptly, Jiang Zhen didn't say anything except sighing in his heart. After all, this was Gu Chen's own business and he could only give suggestions but couldn't really help him decide anything. No matter what, Jiang Zhen had to respect Gu Chen's opinion.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go up and lie down for a while. The room is a suite and there's a bed outside. You can go there and rest for a while."
This room was specially arranged for Jiang Zhen by Chen Qingyu, knowing that Jiang Zhen was old and although he didn't need servants to help him with his daily life, he still needed someone to watch over him to feel at ease. In Jiang Zhen's house, there were naturally special people to take care of him. Now that he was going out to the old house, it was inconvenient for the caretaker to bring him along, so he brought Gu Chen along.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhen can take care of his daily life by himself, and Gu Chen is just there to accompany and watch over him. It was because of this that Chen Qingyu specially arranged a suite for the father and son.
