Chapter 446: Potential As A Matchmaker
Su Wan sat at the side in a daze. Her eyes were in a trance.
“It’s really her. What is she doing this for?”
Jiang Xuecheng’s expression was calm. His eyes that were as deep as the night narrowed slightly as he placed the towel in his hand to the side.
“If I said it’s to marry into the Jiang family, would you believe it?”
The man’s deep voice brushed past her ears and instantly made Su Wan quiver. She was a little dumbfounded.
Even after backstabbing, she wanted to marry into the Jiang family?!
Su Wan suddenly grabbed Jiang Xuecheng’s hand. Her eyes were burning as if there was a fire burning in them.
“She can’t possibly still be wishful in wanting to marry you, right?”
The last time Jiang Xuecheng was unconscious in Zhao Hua Hospital, Sheng An’ning had even mocked her. It was clear that she still had feelings for Jiang Xuecheng.
Jiang Xuecheng lowered his head and stared at Su Wan’s surprised and anxious expression. He could not help but smile.
He reached out and patted Su Wan’s head. His tone was still calm and indifferent.
“What are you thinking about? I’m not the only son of the Jiang family.”
Su Wan regained her senses when she heard that. She still held onto Jiang Xuecheng’s slender hand. The surprise on her face had not completely disappeared.
“You mean Haoxuan? I can tell that that silly boy Jiang Haoxuan is deeply in love with Sheng An’ning. It seems that his mother wanted him to get engaged to Sheng An’ning in the past, but didn’t Sheng An’ning reject it?”
Jiang Xuecheng raised his eyebrows leisurely. He saw Su Wan’s blank expression and pointed out the doubts in her heart.
“It used to be like this. Because Sheng An’ning felt that Haoxuan had no choice but to marry her, she was at ease to giving him the cold shoulder. But now that the situation has changed, didn’t your friend tell you?”
Her friend? Who lse could it be?!
This time, Su Wan was completely awake.
Su Wan’s pupils dilated. She looked at Jiang Xuecheng in shock and almost subconsciously opened her mouth.
“Xuecheng, you already know about it? About Fei’er and Haoxuan?! G.o.d…”
Because she wanted to protect her friend’s privacy, Su Wan did not tell Jiang Xuecheng about Lin Fei’er and Jiang Haoxuan’s difficult and messy matters.
Jiang Xuecheng looked down at Su Wan from above. A dim light flashed across his long and narrow eyes, making it hard to figure out what was going on.
“Wan Wan, I never thought of taking the initiative to find out about these things. I only found out about it when I was investigating Sheng An’ning.”
Jiang Xuecheng paused for a moment and his deep voice was extremely calm.
“Sheng An’ning revealed the information about the birthday banquet because she wanted to know why Jiang Haoxuan has changed his att.i.tude towards her recently.”
Sheng An’ning might not like Haoxuan, but she had to grab hold of the opportunity to marry into the Jiang family.
In the past, Sheng An’ning dared to be willful because Sheng An’ning relied on Jiang Haoxuan to like her. However, once Jiang Haoxuan revealed a hint of coldness, how could Sheng An’ning not be afraid?!
Su Wan slowly took a deep breath. It took her a lot of effort to digest what Jiang Xuecheng had said.
“Then what do you plan to do about this?”
Jiang Xuecheng saw the complicated look on Su Wan’s face, and a dark light flashed across his phoenix-like eyes.
“Grandfather and the others will be here tomorrow. Let’s go to the Jiang family and confront Sheng An’ning face-to-face.”
His voice was low and cold, but it carried an inexplicable power. Su Wan’s heart gradually calmed down.
“Okay.”
Su Wan nodded in agreement. She slightly clenched her fists, and a determined look appeared on her beautiful face.
If Sheng An’ning had not provided so much information, how could the murderer have taken advantage of it?
If Sheng An’ning had not done these things, grandmother would not have been shot and would not have died…
As Su Wan thought about it, her eyes could not help but feel a little hot.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s pained expression, he knew that Su wan was thinking about Lin Xuan, who had just been buried a few days ago.
Jiang Xuecheng let out a sigh. He put Su Wan’s head on his shoulder and patted her back gently.
“Wan Wan, there are some things that one has to face. This time, Sheng An’ning has done something unforgivable. Even if it’s only for your grandmother, the Jiang family will definitely give you an explanation.”
Human lives were at stake. What Sheng An’ning had done in the past could only be considered a small matter. This time, she actually went over to the enemy and caused such a huge mess at the birthday banquet!
The Jiang family had raised Sheng An’ning for so many years and had never treated her badly in any way. However, Sheng An’ning had stabbed the Jiang family in the back. Who could tolerate such an ingrate?!
Su Wan’s eyes showed some fatigue and she felt a faint pain in her heart. She reached out and wrapped her arms around Jiang Xuecheng’s back, her voice choked with sobs.
“I know…”
Su Wan paused for a moment, and another question suddenly popped up in her mind. “Xuecheng, when we go to the Jiang family tomorrow to confront her, will it affect Fei’er?”
Lin Fei’er had always wanted to keep her child away from the Jiang family, but if she wanted to expose Sheng An’ning, it would inevitably involve Lin Fei’er.
Even if they didn’t say anything, it was hard to guarantee that Sheng An’ning wouldn’t mention Lin Fei’er’s child.
Su Wan knew that the Jiang family was strict and would never tolerate illegitimate children. No matter what, it was still a touchy issue.
Jiang Xuecheng’s expression was indifferent as he fixed his long and narrow eyes on Su Wan.
“Wan Wan, do you think the Jiang family will still let Sheng An’ning be their daughter-in-law when they expose Sheng An’ning as a traitor tomorrow?”
Su Wan was stunned when she heard Jiang Xuecheng’s irrelevant answer. She shook her head and suddenly realized what Jiang Xuecheng meant.
“Are you trying to set Fei’er and Haoxuan up together?”
Su Wan gulped. She had never thought that Jiang Xuecheng had the potential to be a matchmaker.
“Why not?”
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan quietly. His expression was as calm as the wind, and his entire being was as calm as a calm lake.
“Sheng An’ning has done so much evil. It’s time for my disappointing younger brother to see what kind of person she is.”
As he spoke, Jiang Xuecheng stroked Su Wan’s head.
“Wan Wan, once the Jiang family finds out about Lin Fei’er, they won’t tolerate an illegitimate child. If your friend wants to keep that child, this is the only way.”
“Is there no other way?”
Lin Fei’er wanted to be a mother so badly, she would definitely not give up on the child in her belly. If she were to expose Sheng An’ning, she would definitely be implicated…
Jiang Xuecheng knew what Su Wan was worried about. He shook his head gently.
Seeing that Jiang Xuecheng directly said that there was no other way, Su Wan took a deep breath and only came back to her senses after a long while.
Actually, this was not bad news.
It seemed that the Jiang family did not pay as much attention to family status as the other high-cla.s.s families. If Lin Fei’er could marry Jiang Haoxuan, there would indeed be more benefits than disadvantages.
Su Wan smiled bitterly, and her expression became a little irritated. Should she inform Lin Fei’er first so that she could be mentally prepared?
It was just that it wasn’t certain whether this matter would succeed.
Would it be so easy for the elders of the Jiang family to suddenly accept a grandson who came out of nowhere?
