The Mad Heiress Played Innocent, and the Third Master Fell Hard - Chapter 10

Yu Guiwan’s hand was still being held by Jiang Yuhuai.

She glanced at the servants who avoided Jiang Yuhuai like snakes and venomous snakes, and for some reason her eyes darkened slightly.

For a long while, the living room was filled with an awkward silence.

Grandpa Jiang waited a long time but didn’t hear what he wanted to hear. He couldn’t help but tap the floor with his cane and snorted, “What? People have no manners these days? They don’t even know how to greet people?”

The old steward, like Jiang Dong, kept his eyes down and his mind at ease.

He knew that Old Master Jiang was jealous.

Just because Yu Guiwan called him “Grandpa” earlier.

Sigh, old folks are really hard to please.

Jiang Yao’an, sitting opposite, stared at them for a long time. When he saw Yu Guiwan looking at Jiang Yuhuai with an innocent expression, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

It’s definitely something that can’t be presented in public.

When Jiang Yuhuai agreed to the marriage and specified that it had to be with the eldest daughter of the Yu family, he had already had someone investigate this eldest daughter of the Yu family.

It was learned that this Miss Yu was abandoned by her parents and left to live in a desolate county town for more than ten years. She was only recently brought back from there after learning about the arranged marriage.

It is said that he never even went to university.

He’s such a good-for-nothing.

But now it seems that a good-for-nothing and a madman are actually a perfect match.

Jiang Yaoan raised his chin slightly. “Dad, don’t be so demanding. After all, he’s just been brought back to Beijing from a small county town and hasn’t even been to university. How would he know about our rules?”

Old Master Jiang’s brow twitched, and he roared, “Shut up.”

Jiang Yaoan snorted.

Jiang Yuhuai finally looked up, his eyes filled with coldness, his voice deep and icy, “What? Are you trying to teach me manners?”

Jiang Yaoan’s face stiffened, and he turned his head away, not daring to look in this direction again.

Grandpa Jiang kept staring in this direction, seemingly worried that Jiang Yuhuai would suddenly get up and throw the suicidal Jiang Yaoan to the ground for a good beating at any moment.

Jiang Yuhuai’s peripheral vision naturally caught sight of Old Master Jiang’s gaze.

He didn’t say a word, nor did he beat Jiang Yao’an up, but his aura was much colder than before.

Even Jiang Dong behind him felt terrified.

The old butler also looked worried.

Only Yu Guiwan remained calm, as if nothing had affected her.

However, the man’s grip on her hand tightened slightly.

She didn’t say a word.

But it also seems like I’ve said a lot.

Jiang Yuhuai’s lips suddenly curved into a slight smile, and his aura softened considerably, as if an iceberg were melting.

The crowd was stunned and bewildered.

Old Master Jiang naturally saw this scene.

He was taken aback at first, then the surprise in his eyes became uncontrollable.

He seemed to have forgotten that Yu Guiwan hadn’t called him “Dad” yet.

“Your name is Xiao Wan, right?”

Grandpa Jiang looked at Yu Guiwan with a gentle expression.

The girl paused for a moment, then nodded. “Mm.”

He seemed very indifferent.

Grandpa Jiang didn’t mind. “Old Yu and I are close friends despite our age difference. I heard him talk about it a long time ago. He has a very cute granddaughter who is very well-behaved and always brags about her to me.”

Upon hearing this, a complex expression flashed quickly across Yu Guiwan’s eyes.

She knew.

In the entire Yu family, the only person who was kind to her was Old Master Yu.

Unfortunately, Grandpa Yu only had time to protect her for a few years before he passed away.

Later, she left the capital and went to Jiangling Town.

“I never imagined that his precious granddaughter would be my daughter-in-law now.” Old Master Jiang’s face showed a hint of nostalgia and regret as he thought of his old friend. “When we first met, I wanted to give you a gift, but I didn’t know what you liked, so I just prepared something random.”

Grandpa Jiang glanced at the old butler.

The old butler then took out the gifts he had prepared in advance and respectfully presented them to Yu Guiwan.

“Third Young Mistress”.

Yu Guiwan glanced at it; it was a very rustic wooden box with a carved openwork lid, exuding an antique charm. The box had a gold clasp, but it was impossible to tell what was inside.

She didn’t answer, but looked at Jiang Yuhuai instead.

The man felt pleased with her reaction.

He reached out and took it, placing it in her hand.

“Why not take it? It should be quite valuable. If you get a craving, you can sell it to buy candy.”

Yu Guiwan’s lips twitched involuntarily, “…”

She wouldn’t be so greedy as to crave something like that.

The old butler’s expression froze for a moment, “…?”

Old Master Jiang, on the other hand, remained calm and unconcerned about what Jiang Yuhuai said.

He also casually took a sip of tea.

Yu Guiwan paused for a moment, then opened the box.

Inside was a fully green bracelet.

You don’t even need to look to know it’s priceless imperial green.

There was also something like a small brocade pouch on it.

She touched it; it was somewhat hard, and seemed to be something like a card.

Jiang Yuhuai glanced at the bracelet but said nothing.

However, he did pick up the brocade pouch and glance inside, his expression showing satisfaction.

“Keep this safe, you can use it to buy candy later.”

Yu Guiwan, with a somewhat expressionless face, swept the brocade pouch back into the box and closed the lid.

She doesn’t eat candy.

Whose candy was bought with a stolen credit card?

Jiang Yuhuai was worried that she would get tired carrying it, so he let Jiang Dong carry it instead.

The old butler knew that if the men continued working there, he had nothing more to say.

Tell the kitchen to start serving dinner as soon as possible.

…

In the restaurant.

For the first time ever, Jiang Yuhuai sat in the first seat to the right of Old Master Jiang.

Grandpa Jiang looked relaxed and seemed to be in a good mood.

Jiang Yao’an, who was sitting diagonally opposite Jiang Yuhuai, looked a little grim.

However, he didn’t say anything more offensive.

It’s clear that he still fears Jiang Yuhuai.

However, what Jiang Yaoan didn’t know was that Jiang Yuhuai didn’t want to sit in this position at all.

But he didn’t want Yu Guiwan to sit close to the old man.

It’s obvious that not everyone is here yet.

However, just as all the dishes were served, the person arrived.

A man who was considerably older than both Jiang Yuhuai and Jiang Yaoan walked in.

A woman with exquisite makeup was following behind him.

The old butler bowed his head and called out, “Young Master, Young Madam.”

They are Grandpa Jiang’s eldest son and daughter-in-law, Jiang Jingyan and Ji Junning.

The two greeted Grandpa Jiang.

Jiang Jingyan looked over, then sat down without saying a word.

Yu Guiwan lowered her eyes slightly.

Hmm, another person who doesn’t like Jiang Yuhuai.

Ji Junning, however, glanced in this direction a few more times.

His eyes held a hint of disdain.

She curled her red lips into a smile. “This must be Miss Yu? She’s quite pretty.”

The implication was that Yu Guiwan was a brainless, good-for-nothing.

Jiang Yuhuai, that madman, was only after this face.
