【Chapter 117】The Little-Known Secret History of the Jiang Family
Li Xiaochen glanced around and saw an old, rickety old man staggering toward the front desk with the support of Mrs. Hua and Zhuo Daochun.
"You can't take away the Jiang family's treasure." The old man closed the box and put it in his hand, not being polite to Jiang Mi'er at all.
When Jiang Ming and other elders saw him, they quickly saluted and asked, "Honorable Sir, why are you here?"
Most of the people present were surprised when they heard the title "Venerable".
Among the four major families, generally speaking, the elders are second only to the head of the family.
However, those highly respected people who step down from the position of elders will be awarded the title of "Venerable" at the discretion of the family leader.
The status of the Venerable is higher than that of the Elders. However, this title cannot be obtained casually.
Currently, in the Jiang family, only this clan protector has received this title.
Due to old age and frailty, the Patriarch of the Clan could no longer serve as an elder and had retired for many years. It is said that he found a quiet mountain plain, lived in seclusion, and lived a leisurely life.
Who would have thought that he would come to Jiang's house in person today.
Seeing that the situation had changed, Melzac quietly gestured to the members of the film department not to act rashly for the time being.
Jiang Junning and Jiang Mi'er also saluted and greeted the venerable protector of the clan, showing great respect.
Li Xiaochen saw that his white beard reached to his chest and he had more wrinkles on his face than Jiang Ming. Although he didn't know how great he was, he must have a high status.
The Protector of the Clan looked coldly at the elders and elders in the conference room: "Huh, you are so ridiculous! Are you pretending to be a family drinker? For such an important position in the family, you can choose whoever you choose? It's like child's play.
They are all ridiculously childish!"
After reprimanding them, the Patriarch of the Clan raised his hand to Melzak and said: "Today I am going to reveal a major event related to the candidate of the Jiang family. Since Minister Mei is here, just sit and listen. However, the family scandal must not be made public. Please also ask.
You keep the Jiang family’s secrets and don’t reveal what you saw and heard today.”
Melzak returned the favor and said, "Of course."
The Clan Protector nodded, took out an old notebook from his robe, and said in front of everyone: "This is the private diary of the former head Jiang Ruoli. I have authenticated the handwriting in it and it is indeed his handwriting. Please everyone
The elders took a look."
After saying that, he opened one of the pages, handed it to the elders for circulation, and said to the others: "Because of time, I can't let you check them one by one. If you have any doubts about this, you can come over and take a look with your own eyes afterwards. If you are still not at ease,
, we can ask professionals to do handwriting identification."
The Clan Protector is older than Jiang Ruoli and Jiang Ming. In terms of seniority, he is a figure of Jiang Ruoli's grandfather's generation.
He has always had prestige in the Jiang family. Of course, what he said is also very credible.
Although the elders only read one page, their expressions all changed.
"It is immoral to read other people's diaries. But this matter is related to the future of the Jiang family, so I took offense." The venerable protector of the clan took back the notebook and read out one of the diaries himself.
"It has been seven years since I came back from Japan. I have never forgotten Minako. Her smiles and smiles are still lingering in my mind. The thing I regret most in my life is that I could not marry her.
I failed to live up to such a deeply affectionate woman."
The word "Japan" touched Li Xiaochen's mind.
Taking into consideration what the Lord Protector of the Clan had said before, "important matters related to the Jiang family's candidate to be the head of the family," he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jiang Mi'er.
Li Xiaochen vaguely felt that this matter had a major connection with her.
Jiang Mier just smiled lightly at him, as if she had expected that things would develop in this direction.
The Protector of the Clan turned over another article and read it word for word: "I have never been so happy since my first wife passed away. Today I adopted a very cute orphan. She is smart and lovable.
I like her. Especially those big, watery eyes. When I saw her for the first time, it reminded me of Minako. Yes, just because of this, I adopted the poor little girl."
"Maybe it was to fill the vacancy and regret in my heart. I lied to the elders and claimed that she was the biological flesh and blood of my deceased wife. For some reasons, she had been fostered in other people's homes. Now I can finally take her back. Whether they believe it or not
, I have decided to cultivate this smart girl. Oh, I also gave her a nice name, Mi'er. Jiang Mi'er, is this a good name?"
As soon as this diary was read, it immediately caused an uproar.
Who would have thought that Jiang Mi'er was actually an orphan secretly adopted by Jiang Ruoli?
But they quickly thought: Since Jiang Mier was adopted by the previous head, she has no blood relationship with the Jiang family. Among the four major families in the world of immortality, none of them would choose an "outsider" to be the head. This position of head
, it must never be passed on to her.
Mrs. Hua raised the corners of her mouth contemptuously and sneered repeatedly at Jiang Mier. Her proud expression was full of disdain and contempt, and seemed to be saying: "You are a wild boy who doesn't even know who your parents are.
Are you worthy enough to compete for the position of head of the family?"
The Great Elder Jiang Ming was originally looking for Mrs. Hua in a hurry, but she was nowhere to be seen. Seeing that Jiang Mier was about to become the leader, he felt anxious and anxious.
On the one hand, she is afraid that Jiang Mier will really become the head of the family. On the other hand, she is afraid that she will break her promise and become rich, and will not give up her seat to Jiang Junning when she becomes the head of the family.
But ever since he saw Mrs. Hua helping the Clan Protector come in, he had made up his mind.
Now, the Clan Protector made a shocking statement and revealed Jiang Mier's life experience. Jiang Ming knew that they had the upper hand again.
Jiang Mi'er is just a bastard that Jiang Ruoli picked up outside and is not qualified to inherit the family.
Jiang Ming did have an impression of what was recorded in the diary. At first, Jiang Ruoli insisted that Jiang Mier was the child he had with his ex-wife.
Everyone was dubious. But since the boss said it for sure, it seemed to be conclusive and there was no doubt that it was true.
And over the years, people have basically forgotten this.
Unexpectedly, this thick diary has subverted people's understanding of Jiang Mier.
The situation that was originally "the overall situation has been decided" suddenly took a turn for the worse and was completely reversed.
Jiang Junning was also quite shocked by this. He originally thought that Jiang Mier was not born to Mrs. Hua, but after all, she was still his half-sister.
I really didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Li Xiaochen walked to Jiang Mier and whispered in her ear: "Is this true?"
Jiang Mier smiled slightly and said: "The truth is also false, and the false is also true. I said that I am the biological child of my father, Jiang Ruoli. Do you believe it?"
Li Xiaochen looked firmly into Jiang Mier's eyes: "I believe it!"
Jiang Mier curled her lips: "Fool, do you believe whatever I say?"
At this moment, the Protector of the Clan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, turned back his notebook, and picked another diary entry to read: "I already feel that my time is running out. If I don't establish the next leader, I'm afraid I won't have a chance.
More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. Xiaomier has grown into a tall and graceful beauty. She has excellent qualifications and understanding. She is also smart and smart. Should I pass on the position of head of the family to her? "
The Venerable Protector of the Clan turned back a few more pages and read: "Jun Ning is a talented person, capable and steady in his work. He is also a rare talent. It is indeed a right decision for him to succeed as the head of the family. But I still prefer Mi.
Son, in front of the elders, I said that I wanted to make her the head of the family. Maybe I am such a willful person..."
After reading this, the Lord Protector of the Clan paused and said: "The matter has a clear context. In the diary, the previous head of the family, Jiang Ruoli, has made it very clear. Jiang Mi'er has no blood relationship with the Jiang family. She has no
She is qualified to inherit the title of head of the family. It was only because Jiang Ruoli doted on her that she unfairly passed on the title of head of the family to her."
The Clan Protector turned back to look at Jiang Mier and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Jiang Mier said: "Your Majesty has only told part of the truth. There is a greater hidden secret. If allowed, I would like to take this opportunity to make them public so that everyone can judge for themselves."
Jiang Ming heard something was wrong from her words, and quickly said to the venerable protector of the clan: "Sir, don't listen to her monstrous words to confuse the public! After her life experience was exposed, this little girl must be unwilling to make up a bunch of lies to confuse people.
Everyone, please don’t believe it!”
Jiang Mier smiled faintly: "Elder Elder, everyone can judge whether what I say is true or false. Is there something shameful you are doing that you are afraid of me saying?"
"No. I behave upright and sit upright, how can I do something shameful?" Although he said this, Jiang Ming still felt guilty.
If Jiang Mier exposes his affairs, it will be very bad.
The Lord Protector pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "I have always upheld the concept of justice. Jiang Mi'er, if you have any hidden secrets, just tell me. If what you say is true, I and the elders of the Jiang family present will naturally recognize it. But
If you keep telling lies, don't blame me for being inhumane."
Jiang Mier nodded to him: "Very good. What I want is your words."
Jiang Ming said hurriedly: "Honorable Sir, you must not..."
"No need to say more." The venerable protector of the clan raised his hand and stopped him from talking further.
Jiang Ming had no choice but to close his mouth angrily, thinking about how to find a way to stop Jiang Mier's mouth.
"You must be very strange. Who is the Minako mentioned in the diary?" Jiang Mi'er looked around at everyone and told the story: "The story started twenty-one years ago. My father, Jiang Ruoli, was
In order to carry out a secret mission, he traveled thousands of miles east to Japan. At a shrine where a coming-of-age ceremony was held, he met a beautiful girl. The girl's name was Minako Suigetsu..."
