Zerg: Cold and aloof Major General, stop pretending to be innocent, I have a headache!

"Hmm." Jiang Jin nodded calmly, her tone tinged with reminiscence. "I know you. I just didn't expect you to be so grown up."

In his memory, the two little insects following Jiang Mian were not even as tall as Jiang Mian's shoulders.

Jiang Ping was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then understood.

It's reasonable to guess that when Jiang Mian left the south, this insect family must have searched for his whereabouts.

It's not surprising that I know him.

Jiang Jin sighed and then ignored him, turning to Jiang Xu: "You're going back soon?"

"Hmm." Jiang Xu looked down at him. "I came to the south this time because of a collaboration with Lord Jiang Bian."

"Sigh..." Jiang Jin sighed, "I understand."

"My Lord," Helan called softly from the side, "it is your turn to begin the lunch meeting."

Jiang Jin glanced at the main hall behind her; time seemed to be passing faster than usual.

He turned to walk toward the center, but after taking a few steps, he remembered something and said to Jiang Xu behind him, "Little bugs, stay with me for a while. If you get hungry, go find something to eat yourselves."

After saying that, he walked towards the center without looking back.

Helan followed.

The rest are the batch of insects that arrived this morning, and Jiang Baiyou's three.

Many insects had left, leaving their land quite empty. Jiang Baiyou took two steps forward, bowed to Jiang Bian, and said, "Grandfather Jiang, good day."

"Hmm, Youzai has grown up." Jiang Bian still had that gentle and refined demeanor, speaking slowly and deliberately, his eyes fixed on Jiang Baiyou with the scrutiny of an elder towards a junior.

"You still look as youthful as ever," Jiang Baiyou replied with a warm smile.

Jiang Jin's voice soon rang out in the banquet hall, announcing the start of the banquet.

The room fell silent for a moment, then quickly became lively again.

All the insects began to slowly swarm towards Jiang Jin.

Just then, Jiang Baiyou took a glass of wine from the servant, raised it to Jiang Xu, and extended an invitation: "Cousin, shall we go to the small gathering room together?"

Jiang Xu glanced at Jiang Jin in the center. The other party was already used to dealing with this kind of occasion, and his every move exuded elegance and composure.

He looked away and glanced at Fei again.

Seeing that his gaze was still fixed on the insect cub, Jiang Xu comforted him, "Don't worry, the insect cub is with your great-grandfather, it will be fine."

Then he looked at Jiang Baiyou and said, "Let's go."

Jiang Baiyou smiled and quickly turned to walk towards a corner of the banquet hall.

Jiang Xu and the other insects naturally followed.

After walking a few steps, Jiang Xu noticed that Jiang Bian hadn't followed, so he looked over at him.

Jiang Bian stopped in his tracks, met Jiang Xu's gaze, smiled with his hand to his lips, and then waved at him with his other hand.

Jiang Baiyou noticed the commotion on Jiang Xu's side, followed his gaze to Jiang Bian, and explained, "The small gathering hall is a place for us young insects to gather, and it's inconvenient for Grandfather Jiang to go there."

He spoke so naturally, as if it were an established rule.

The small gathering room is called that not because it is small, but because it is prepared for the younger generation of insect cubs.

The hall is very large, almost two-thirds the size of a formal banquet hall.

The interior design maintains the unified style of the south. In addition to black and gold, the interior walls feature natural wood grain patterns, which are simple yet sophisticated.

By this time, a considerable number of insects had gathered in the hall.

A look of surprise flashed across Jiang Xu's face when he entered.

He did notice in the banquet hall earlier that, apart from the few insects that had surrounded Fei and the others, there were hardly any young insects.

It looks like they're all here.

"Hey, Young Master You, why are you only arriving now? I heard from Brother Yang that you arrived a while ago."

A male insect was holding a cup and chatting with the insects around him when he saw Jiang Baiyou walking towards him. After gesturing to the surrounding insects, he shouted loudly in Jiang Xu's direction.

Jiang Baiyou replied loudly, "Something happened in the banquet hall. That's why I was a little late."

He noticed that the insects opposite him were curiously looking at Jiang Xu beside them, so he took the opportunity to introduce him: "Alright, let me introduce you to a new friend—Jiang Xu."

"Jiang?" The insect opposite stared blankly at the male insect beside it, who also looked puzzled: "Which Jiang?"

He'd never heard of this insect before. He turned to look at the male insect beside him and asked, "Brother Yang, where did you get these poor relatives?"

Jiang Baiyou smiled at Jiang Xu and walked forward, seemingly with no intention of explaining.

Jiang Xu spoke calmly to the man named Yang: "Oh, perhaps it's Jiang from Jiang Jin's family."

He was too lazy to beat around the bush with these insects, and as if he couldn't understand what Jiang Baiyou meant, he introduced himself.

"Who?" The male insect asked tauntingly, looking him up and down before laughing, "Brother, you've gone too far with this joke."

After all, Jiang Bian is unmarried, as everyone here knows.

As he finished speaking, laughter echoed throughout the hall.

They either mocked, sneered, or stared at you.

Jiang Xu glanced indifferently at the group of insects; he had seen this kind of situation many times before.

When he first took over the Jiang Group, he attended those elite banquets, and that's how those people viewed him.

However, he later proved them wrong, and those people never dared to show that expression again.

It was so real, and I miss it so much!

"Cousin, aren't you going to introduce them to them?" Jiang Xu turned to look at Jiang Baiyou, who had already walked into the group of insects, and said, "If these insects accidentally provoke the wrong ones, you'll be in trouble."

After all, a spectacle isn't always so appealing.

Jiang Baiyou didn't expect Jiang Xu to be so sharp-tongued. He originally wanted to see him make a fool of himself, but the other party directly steered the conversation towards himself.

If he doesn't explain now, and something really happens, he won't be able to explain it to his two great-grandfathers.

He met Jiang Baiyang and Achilles' gazes and laughed, "Look at me, I was so busy introducing names that I forgot to tell you that Jiang Xu is the great-grandson of Mian's grandfather."

"Grandfather?" Jiang Baiyang frowned as he looked at Jiang Xu and slowly said, "It really is Jiang Jin's Jiang."

"Brother Yang." Achilles, seeing Jiang Baiyang's dazed expression, waved his hand in front of his face. "What grandfather? I've never heard of him."

Jiang Baiyang snapped out of his daze and explained calmly, "Jiang Bian's grandfather's younger brother—Jiang Mian's grandfather."
