The boss is back and she doesn’t pretend to be a fake daughter anymore

Jiang Zhan looked at the abbot but said nothing.

The two of them were about to follow the abbot inside. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Jiang Yumin became anxious for some reason and opened his mouth to shout,

"Jiang Zhan! Stop!"

He originally wanted to call Jiang Xuxu, but when he thought of the days when he was a turtle, he held back.

But it is not easy to call her niece. Since Jiang Zhan is his biological son, it is justified for him to call him that.

Jiang Zhan stopped and turned to look at Jiang Yumin, but still didn't say anything, obviously waiting for the other person to speak.

The abbot looked at Jiang Zhan, then at Jiang Yumin, and suddenly asked,

"Is he a lay Buddhist meditating in the temple?"

Seeing the abbot asking, Jiang Yumin couldn't tell the two juniors that he didn't want to become a monk anymore, so he gritted his teeth and said,

"Abbot, I am here to become a monk."

The abbot looked at the monks who were following him, who were monks responsible for receiving short-term meditation practitioners.

The latter pursed his lips as a sign of agreement, but the look in his eyes clearly carried a deeper meaning.

Others may not understand, but the abbot does.

This means that the other person’s devotion to Buddha is insufficient.

Three to five days of meditation is probably the best you can do.

The abbot knew, but didn't say it out loud. He just said,

“Sometimes you don’t see results from your practice. It’s not because you are not sincere enough, but because you don’t have enough affinity with the Buddha. Don’t rush to decide whether to become a monk or not.”

The abbot paused as he spoke, and suddenly looked at Jiang Zhan.

"This donor seems to have a deep affinity with Buddhism. I wonder if he is interested in coming to the temple to practice for a while?"

Jiang Zhan had not spoken since they met. When he heard the abbot suddenly speak to him, he was stunned at first, but he still took out his phone skillfully and replied to the other party.

【Thank you, Master, but I have no intention of practicing. 】

When the abbot heard the electronic sound coming from the phone, he did not feel offended. Instead, his eyes lit up.

"You have a special fate, and you practice silent meditation, so you have a connection with Buddha. If you can enter Buddhism, it will be beneficial to your future life."

The abbot was not just an abbot, he was a Buddhist practitioner, so at the first sight he knew that the young man in front of him was destined to be a boy.

When I found out that the other person was practicing silent meditation, I felt even more satisfied.

Jiang Yumin didn't expect that he was the one who wanted to become a monk, but the other party took a fancy to his son instead.

Although he was depressed, he thought of Jiang Zhan's situation and said,

"Jiang Zhan, since the abbot said so, you can consider meditating with me in the temple."

It’s not that Jiang Yumin doesn’t care about Jiang Zhan’s future. Although he doesn’t care much about his eldest son, he doesn’t want to see him die young.

Since the abbot said that entering Buddhism would be beneficial to his lifespan, perhaps this is the right path for him to take.

Even if my family knew, they would definitely not stop me.

So to speak, it was he, the father, who saved his eldest son by accident.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yumin felt that no matter what the outcome of his decision to become a monk was, the process was indeed a good one.

Since it concerned Jiang Zhan's future, Jiang Xuxu did not speak immediately.

As the abbot said, Jiang Zhan's conversion to Buddhism did help his lifespan.

But she never mentioned it. Firstly, she was not familiar with Buddhism, and secondly, she did not sense any interest in Buddhism from Jiang Zhan.

As expected, Jiang Zhan was indifferent to the abbot's words. He just frowned slightly when he heard Jiang Yumin speak. He lowered his head and was about to type a reply when he suddenly heard a hurried shout from behind him.

"My brother won't leave home!"

But Jiang Han appeared out of nowhere, walked forward quickly, grabbed Jiang Zhan and pulled him away from Jiang Yumin and the abbot.

Originally, he was curious when he saw Jiang Xuxu and Jiang Zhan going out alone, but he was too embarrassed to say that he wanted to follow them, so he followed them secretly.

Now he was glad that he had followed secretly!

He didn't expect that the abbot of Qiyuan Temple would take the initiative to suggest that Jiang Zhan enter Buddhism, but regardless of what Jiang Zhan thought, he was really annoyed that Jiang Yumin directly persuaded Jiang Zhan to become a monk.

Not only was he confused and fooling around, he even wanted to drag Jiang Zhan into it.

What kind of father is he if he lets his own son become a monk? !

Jiang Han's eyes were fierce and defensive, protecting Jiang Zhan, as if someone was going to hurt him. Jiang Yumin was immediately irritated.

"What kind of look are you looking at?!"

Jiang Han did not answer, but just kept repeating, "My brother won't become a monk. If you want to become a monk, do it by yourself. Don't drag him along."

When Jiang Yumin heard that his only close son had allowed him to become a monk, he became even angrier and pointed at him and yelled,

"What are you talking about?! I'm his father, would I hurt him?! Isn't this all for his own good?!"

"When have you ever been nice to him?!"

The moment Jiang Han shouted this, the entire temple seemed to be quiet for a moment, and Jiang Yumin stared at his son in disbelief.

He, he is blaming his father?!

He really didn't care that much about his son Jiang Zhan, but he wouldn't harm him!

Is this what Jiang Han thinks of him?

Jiang Yumin was really sad now.

Compared to his eldest brother and the youngest brother, he may not be a good father, but he thinks he is not a bad father!

"You, you..." Jiang Yumin kept saying "you" for a long time but couldn't say anything.

Jiang Xuxu and the abbot on the side did not speak either.

Jiang Zhan, who was protected by Jiang Han behind him, was stunned for a while after hearing Jiang Han's roar and his angry look. He finally reached out and pulled the hand that Jiang Han was holding.

Jiang Han shuddered and turned to look at Jiang Zhan.

"Jiang Zhan, you don't want to become a monk too, do you?"

Compared to his argument with Jiang Yumin, there was a hint of panic in his voice when he asked Jiang Zhan this time, vaguely, like a small animal who was afraid of being abandoned.

Jiang Han has always had complicated feelings towards Jiang Zhan. When did he begin to show obvious dependence on this brother?

Maybe it was when the parents were divorced, the mother went abroad, and the father was unreliable in various ways.

He discovered that his closest family members seemed to be only Jiang Zhan and Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying was still young and often needed someone to coax her, but Jiang Zhan... was his brother, his only biological brother.

He knew that what his father said might be right.

If allowing Jiang Zhan to become a monk can really preserve his future longevity, then it would indeed be good for Jiang Zhan.

Can……

It is said that entering Buddhism means giving up worldly ties. Then, after entering Buddhism, would Jiang Zhan still be his brother?

It is said that Buddhism requires tranquility. Jiang Zhan’s past days in the sanatorium were peaceful enough. Now, seeing that he has gained more popularity, will he have to practice in solitude again after becoming a monk?

Jiang Han knew that what he was doing was wrong, but he just didn't want to do it.

He didn't want to live like Jiang Zhan.

Anyway, Jiang Xuxu said that as long as Jiang Zhan doesn't speak, it won't affect his lifespan in the future, so why doesn't he just keep silent now?

He was still thinking to himself, with an even stronger stubbornness in his eyes. Jiang Zhan looked at him for a long while, suddenly patted his hands, then lowered his head to type.

【I will not become a monk.】

After Jiang Zhan finished typing this sentence, he turned towards the abbot and uttered the remaining sentence.

He says,

[Thank you, Abbot, but my brother doesn't want me to join the Buddhist sect, and I... can't bear to leave my family, so I won't join.]
