Chapter 1815: Ambition and Aspiration
Chiang Xiao hadn't yet grasped the meaning behind those words, when Ah Liu had already let her go and walked toward the kitchen.
Chiang Xiao glanced at Meng Xinian, "What does Dad mean by this?"
"Silly Kitten, you don't understand?" Meng Xinian pinched her cheek and chuckled softly, "Uncle Six means he's going to take over the Jiang Family."
Gasp...
Chiang Xiao inhaled sharply.
Though she had always known Old Master Jiang's intention was for Ah Liu to take over the Jiang Family, but given the current state of the Jiang Family and Ah Liu's situation?
He actually openly declared he would take over the Jiang Family?
Chiang Xiao had always seen Ah Liu as someone elegant and tranquil, yet he had this kind of audacity.
"I actually don't need him to take over the Jiang Family..." murmured Chiang Xiao.
Previously, she had thought about destroying the Jiang Family, but now she was a Jiang Family member, it's also her father's inheritance, how could she destroy it now?
Does Ah Liu have such great ambition?
Meng Xinian said, "Uncle Six must be doing it for you too, and I support him, Little, as long as Uncle Six is healthy, he possesses such capability."
While leading her towards the room, he whispered to her, "Moreover, I support Uncle Six."
"Why? Don't you think bearing such a burden would be too heavy and exhausting?"
"It depends on the person, Uncle Six is talented and capable, having received such education since childhood, do you think if he didn't take over the Jiang Family, would he willingly live an ordinary life forever? Currently, it's because of his physical reasons and the recent reunion with you that you see his calm demeanor, have you not noticed that he is actually very decisive?"
Fearing she'd worry too much, Meng Xinian explained to her carefully.
"Let's start with him leaving the Jiang Family; after he was injured, his intelligence was akin to that of a child. Yet, despite this situation, he managed to evade the forces chasing him, and was able to find ways to make money now and then, even knowing to pawn his belongings for money to sustain himself. Achieving this despite limited intelligence speaks volumes, showing he's inherently smart, adept at adapting, and able to seize all advantageous conditions and opportunities for himself, while also being very alert."
Chiang Xiao looked at him, blinking, "Is there more?"
"Also, when we found him, he instantly decided to go with you, leaving the small village in Cheng Cheng to go to Capital City. Did you see him having any longing for that quaint village?"
"No."
"That's it, it indicates the simple life in the village was not suitable for him; circumstances forced him to stay there. Hence, when it was time to leave, he had no regrets. Also, his lack of apprehension about life in the city shows he isn't afraid of the unknown or change."
Chiang Xiao looked at Meng Xinian with a bit of admiration in her eyes.
She had genuinely never thought about these things before.
Suddenly, she sensed the difference between herself and Meng Xinian.
So, even though she had lived one more life than him, due to her lack of exposure and wit in her previous life, she was still no match for him.
"Besides, Uncle Six just turned thirty-six this year, which is truly a man's golden age; you can't expect him to just stay home every day cooking for us, reading books, playing chess, and living a retired person's life, can you?"
Chiang Xiao had to admit Meng Xinian was right.
