The vicious female supporting role is posted in the opposite direction by the cub

There are three Hua and two others, and two elders whose lineage in the Jiang family in M ​​Continent is unknown...

Yan Yueqing silently recited this pattern in her mind.

Jiang Na Luo Weier... The core waters of the North Sea controlled by the Luo Weier family... Jiang Ke disappeared there!
It seems that the Second Elder and the Fourth Elder have a deep connection.

Yan Yueqing maintained an impeccable smile and responded to each of them: "Elder Jiang Na, Elder Jiang Catherine, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"What a beautiful girl!" Fourth Elder Jiang Na warmly took Yan Yueqing's hand. "Young Master, you're finally back! We've been waiting for you for so many years! The scenery here in S Continent is nice, but the world is so big. The scenery of our Luo Weier family in Beihai is also amazing. We must go and visit sometime!"

"Us"? "The Lowell family"?
Is it that they don't even want to act anymore?

"Thank you for the invitation, Elder Jiang Na." Yan Yueqing's smile remained unchanged, and her tone was calm. "When I returned, I happened to run into someone named... Keynes Lowell, who called himself the Little Prince of the North Sea. I wonder if Fourth Elder knows him?"

“Oh, him?” Jiang Na laughed. “He’s my nephew, the current heir of the Lowell family! You’ve met him, isn’t he very witty and humorous?”

Yan Yueqing smiled but remained silent.

Jiang Na was very enthusiastic: "I knew you young people would have a lot to talk about, but I wonder where that rascal went? He was telling me just a few days ago that he was almost here..."

Yan Yueqing was a little puzzled when she heard this.

Seven days ago, Keynes followed him all the way into the Jiang family's territory, where they were stopped outside the defensive line.

Later, she and her mother watched the video recording together and discovered that Keynes did not mention that he had an aunt who was an elder in the Jiang family, nor did he deliberately try to break in.

He seemed completely oblivious, only knowing that he had kicked a hornet's nest, and left in a huff!
Now, Jiang Na has openly stated that she and Keynes are aunt and niece. Does she not know about Keynes's affairs?

Yan Yueqing chuckled and said, "If we are destined to meet again, we will."

Jiang Na didn't take it to heart: "That's true, he'll definitely come to the dance next week."

prom?

Seeing the puzzled look on Yan Yueqing's face, Jiang Na smiled charmingly: "Young Master doesn't stay at home much, so perhaps you don't know about your coming-of-age ceremony ball~ On that day, the young master will choose someone he likes to continue the mission of prolonging the family line!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Yueqing suddenly remembered why she hadn't wanted to go back to the Jiang family back then.

Customs abroad are much more open than in China; people choose husbands at coming-of-age dances... and can even choose more than one...

It really gave her a headache.

Jiang Na continued with a smile, "The young master grew up in China and may not be familiar with the customs. The coming-of-age ceremony can be postponed, but it absolutely cannot be canceled! Now that you're back, we'll definitely dress the young master up beautifully on that day! The young master can choose any prince or nobleman from all over the country~"

"Well, no rush. I just got back, and there are still many family matters I need to familiarize myself with. China is my root, and my mother and grandmother also have many plans for the future development of the family in China that I need to learn."

She deliberately steered the conversation toward "China" and "family development plans," looking calmly at the elders while keeping a close eye on the Second Elder, Jiang Wenying's, reaction.

A glint of approval flashed in the eyes of the First Elder, Jiang Jingshu. The Second Elder, Jiang Wenying, smiled gently, even more so, and nodded in agreement, saying, "Focusing on the source is very good."

But Yan Yueqing keenly caught a fleeting, extremely subtle, unusual emotion deep in her eyes, so quick that it seemed like an illusion.

Third Elder Jiang Su remained expressionless, but the corners of his tightly pursed lips seemed to relax by a fraction of a millimeter.

Jiang Na and Jiang Catherine raised their eyebrows slightly, a hint of scrutiny and disapproval flashing in their blue eyes.

Clearly, as mixed-race individuals, they are not only concerned with the development of the Jiang family, but also with the resources and glory of their husbands' and fathers' families.

“China…is indeed a place full of potential,” Jiang Catherine said in English, her tone flat. “However, the Jiang family’s roots are already spread all over the world. The future direction requires a broader international perspective and…realistic considerations.”

“Catherine is right,” Jiang Na immediately chimed in, “An international perspective is very important! Our Lowell family is very happy to deepen our cooperation with the Jiang family in various fields…”

In just a few words, they clearly expressed their reluctance to return to China.

"Alright," Elder Jiang Jingshu spoke up at the right moment, interrupting sternly, "Xiaoxing has just returned, let her adapt first. The future direction of the family will be decided by the family head, and the elders' council... will just do their best to assist."

She emphasized the word "assist" as her gaze swept over Jiang Na and Jiang Kaiserlin.

Jiang Yu chimed in at the opportune moment: "Exactly. Xiao Xing, come with me to meet the other elders."

She nodded slightly to the elders and led Yan Yueqing away from this small center of power.

Taking a few steps back, Jiang Yu whispered, "See? Chinese is almost becoming a niche language. Lowell and several other families have overreached. Jiang Catherine... although she has the surname Jiang, her heart may not be entirely with the Jiang family."

She paused, lowering her voice even further, almost inaudibly, "...and the Second Elder, Jiang Wenying, you must be careful of her."

Yan Yueqing felt a chill run down her spine; her mother's reminder confirmed her earlier doubts.

She looked around at the faces, some familiar and some unfamiliar, but mostly bearing Western features, listened to the foreign languages ​​rising and falling in the air, and felt the cultural divide and undercurrents hidden beneath the glitz and glamour of technology and luxury.

The sentence in her grandmother's secret letter resonated in her heart: Returning to China would mean severing their ties with foreign countries!

This is not just a family migration; it is a war without gunfire!

It is to sever those deeply entrenched tentacles that are trying to completely alienate and devour the Jiang family! It is to reclaim the soul and foundation of this Chinese family amidst the heavy encirclement of Western forces!
In this war, it is difficult to distinguish friend from foe. Even someone as seemingly cheerful as Second Elder Jiang Wenying may be a lurking deadly threat, especially since she may have intricate connections to Uncle Jiang Ke's disappearance!
She held her mother's arm tightly, her fingertips conveying a firm strength through the warm fabric of the "Starry Sky Guide".

Under the swirling light of the nebula, his clear eyes ignited a resolute flame even brighter than before.

Jiang Yu patted her hand: "You don't need to worry about the coming-of-age ceremony. The Jiang family did practice polyandry in the past, but starting with your grandmother, even if you only have one partner, it's not a big deal. I know your relationship with Xiao Jun, and I won't force anyone to be with you."

“However…” she paused again, “Just because I have no ideas doesn’t mean they don’t. You should be more careful.”

"Be on guard?" (End of Chapter)
