Chapter 362: Cousin Ning Tian
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, at dawn, Jiang Hua drove his wife, daughter, and mother straight to the Magic City.
It's not that close to the Magic City from here. It's quite hard to drive there, but there's nothing we can do about it.
During the Spring Festival travel period, it was overcrowded.
Jiang Hua called and asked. Air tickets were sold out, let alone train tickets. Although driving was tiring, there was nothing we could do about it.
"It's been so many years. If it hadn't been for the address on the envelope, I would have forgotten the exact location of your father's house in Shanghai."
Zhao Guilan sat in the car and said with emotion.
The last time she came to Magic City was more than 20 years ago. Jiang Hua was still young at that time. Who would have thought that that trip of a family of three to visit relatives would become her and her husband's farewell forever.
"Ahua, if you are tired, let me drive."
Su Zhirou sat in the passenger seat and said thoughtfully.
"No, you don't drive this Mercedes-Benz very often, so you might not be used to it."
When Jiang Hua went out this time, he drove the imported Mercedes-Benz.
He also owns a Santara, which is the car Su Zhirou usually drives.
"Son, are we too high-profile to drive such a good car?"
Zhao Guilan picked up and dropped off her granddaughter every day and chatted with the parents of the children. She also gained a lot of knowledge and knew that her son's car was an imported luxury car worth more than one million yuan, which was more advanced than the cars of the city leaders.
"Mom, they used to look down on you because they thought you were from the countryside. Now that your son has become successful, you have to feel proud."
Jiang Hua put his hands on the steering wheel and said.
"People nowadays are quite snobbish. Some time ago, the director of my daughter's kindergarten came to me specifically and asked me to be the president of the family committee, but I declined."
Su Zhirou followed her husband's words and sighed.
Parents in the kindergarten all know that her husband is extremely rich and a big boss. Every time she goes to pick up her daughter, a bunch of people come around to please her.
"What you said makes sense. We are here to visit the patient this time, not to receive anger."
Zhao Guilan knew that her husband had a brother and a sister, and she had a bad impression of them. They were more snobbish than her daughter-in-law's aunt.
If Jiang Hua's grandfather hadn't been ill, she would have never wanted to have anything to do with these two people in her life.
"Grandma, where are we going?"
My daughter was sitting in the back, looking around and asking curiously.
"Go visit your great-grandfather. You haven't met him yet."
Zhao Guilan replied in a gentle tone.
"Is great-great-great-grandfather my father's father's father?"
My daughter's childish words made everyone laugh.
"Yes, my father's father is your great-grandfather."
Jiang Hua was so happy that he deliberately imitated his daughter's speech.
"I'm just teasing you. I know that my great-grandfather is my father's grandfather."
The daughter snorted arrogantly.
"Oh, the little girl has lost her temper."
Jiang Hua laughed dumbly.
"My daughter has been growing up, and there are new changes almost every day. You have been busy outside and don't care about her."
Su Zhirou complained softly.
She is already very satisfied with her current life and does not need her husband to make more money. Instead, she hopes that he will spend more time with his family.
"I really should review this."
Jiang Hua sighed and said.
He currently has too many companies in his hands, and sometimes even if he wants to stop and take a break, it's impossible.
He felt that he should seize the time and cultivate a few talents who can take charge of their own affairs. If he continues to be busy like this, when will it end?
"I just said it casually, don't take it to heart."
Su Zhirou can also appreciate her husband's hard work.
If this man hadn't been working hard outside, where would she have gotten the good life she has now?
It takes more than nine hours to drive from the provincial capital where Jianghua is located to the Magic City. They set off at 6:30 in the morning and won't arrive there until about 4 or 5 in the afternoon.
Magic City, the basketball court on the campus of Fu University.
It's winter vacation, and the students have all gone back to celebrate the Spring Festival. The campus is especially deserted.
A young man in sportswear jumped up hard, threw the basketball in his hand into the basket, then dribbled the ball and ran around the basketball court, repeating the same action again.
He had the entire basketball court to himself. Fortunately, it was the second day of the Lunar New Year and no one came to play basketball, so he was left alone.
Jiang Siqi, wearing a high school uniform, sat on the stone bench next to her, holding her chin in her hands depressedly.
"Brother Tian, I'm talking to you about something serious. Can you stop and listen to me?"
She said helplessly.
She had breakfast and sat here, watching the young man playing basketball alone. When he got tired, she would talk to him about serious matters.
But the young man in sportswear seemed to be torturing himself. Even if it was winter and his clothes were soaked with sweat, he would not stop.
He kept repeating the same set of actions mechanically, dribbling the ball, running circles around the basketball court, and then shooting.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
The young man finally stopped, not caring about his sweat-soaked autumn clothes clinging to his body, and walked over to ask.
"Would you like to go to the dormitory to take a shower and change clothes first?"
Jiang Siqi looked at him quite speechlessly.
It's not called exercise at all, it's just a way to vent his emotions.
Besides, if you don’t have something to worry about, who would be bored and come to school to play basketball during the Chinese New Year?
"No, if you don't say anything, I can leave."
The young man held the basketball and turned around to leave.
"No, Ning Tian, can I ask you a favor? Go home and steal the house book that your aunt has hidden."
Jiang Siqi quickly grabbed the young man.
The young man playing basketball is her cousin Ning Tian, the son of her aunt.
She also has an eldest brother, who was born to her father and his ex-wife. He was sentenced to his ex-wife and will not live with them.
"What was your dad's idea for you?"
The young man was silent for a moment and asked.
A total of five houses were lost during the demolition of the Jiang family's old house. Although the head of the household was Jiang Yihong, it did not prevent his pair of children from grabbing the property first.
The daughter acted quickly and grabbed three suites, but the son only got two. He was very unhappy. As a result, the brother and sister had a bad relationship and turned against each other.
"Shit, I won't listen to him. I went to the hospital and asked. The doctor said that a kidney transplant can extend my grandfather's life for at least five years. Those five houses originally belonged to my grandfather. I want to sell one to raise money.
Give grandpa a kidney transplant."
Jiang Siqi said seriously.
"Don't your dad have two sets? Why don't you steal them from him?"
Ning Tian glanced at her lightly.
"I can steal it and use it to find you. You don't know how much of a thief he is. He went to the bank and rented a safe and deposited the house book in the bank."
Jiang Siqi said with a frustrated look.
Of course she had the idea of taking care of the family's property, but her father was such a thief that he wouldn't give her a chance.
"You are really talented. You are worthy of being the manager of the bank's credit department."
There was a hint of sarcasm on Ning Tian's lips.
"My aunt is not bad either. I heard that she went to buy a safe in order to save her house book?"
Jiang Siqi sarcastically replied.
Ning Tian's eyebrows immediately drooped, and he remained silent for a moment before saying, "After the winter vacation is over, I plan to go through the procedures for dropping out of school."
"Why, it's not easy for you to get into the Fudan University. Well, why did you drop out?"
Jiang Siqi's eyes widened in surprise.
"Our family's affairs have caused a lot of trouble in the city. I don't want to stay in school and be criticized by others. If I drop out, I can at least be in peace."
Ning Tian answered honestly.
Like Jiang Siqi, he did not agree with his parents' actions, but as a child, how could he control his parents?
