Mr. Tan pushed the photo back.

"You should be able to guess who the people above are."

Seeing his grandson nod, he suddenly leaned back in his chair.

He looked at Jiang Ximeng deeply, then looked away and remained silent.

"Grandpa?" Tan Yan frowned even deeper.

What happened between them and why they kept silent?

Ximeng said that Grandpa Jiang was the same.

"Grandpa Tan, I just want to know, since when did my grandpa and Mr. Zhou become so badly connected?"

Jiang Ximeng also felt that Grandpa Tan didn't seem to want to mention this matter, so she changed the direction of the question.

In that era, taking photos was considered a considerable expense.

Since grandpa and his friends were able to take photos together when they were young, it proves that they must have been very good friends.

Mr. Tan shook his head, indicating that he would not say anything.

He saw the lost look on the Jiang family girl's face, which looked very much like someone in his memory. He sighed and said, "Go ask your grandfather."

Jiang Ximeng frowned, "Grandpa won't tell me."

"He'll tell it this time."

After hearing this, Jiang Ximeng and Tan Yan hurried to the Jiang family's Bangshan villa.

"grandfather."

third floor.

Jiang Ximeng pushed open the door of the study.

Generally, when my grandfather is at home during the day, he will stay in the study.

She didn’t understand before. Grandpa had handed over the position of chairman of the company to Dad, and now he had no company affairs to deal with, so why did he still stay in the study all day?

Now she understood that grandpa was looking at the photo.

Just like now, he was clutching the old photo. Even though they were several meters apart, Jiang Ximeng could still see his white knuckles and slightly trembling hands.

Hearing his granddaughter calling, Grandpa Jiang pressed the photo under his palm and pressed it on the table, "Xiao Xi is back."

Old Master Jiang looked at her with a smile.

"grandfather."

Jiang Ximeng has been looking at this face for more than 20 years, so she can naturally catch some clues.

She could clearly see the sadness on her grandfather's face.

“Can you tell us your story this time?”

Jiang Ximeng placed the blurry photo taken by Xu Xinrou on the desk.

She wanted to know what happened between the four of them.

Only in this way can we find out the significance of Xu Xinrou taking this photo.

In fact, even if she didn't ask, she could guess something.

Among these people, the Zhou family is the most suspicious, and only their family can do such things that hurt people's lives.

But she needed to understand what happened between them so she could know exactly where the problem lay.

“Where was this photo taken?”

Old Master Jiang stood up suddenly, looking sullen, as if he was very angry that Jiang Ximeng had brought this photo to question him.

"Cough cough cough..."

"grandfather!"

Before Jiang Ximeng could say anything, Old Man Jiang became overly excited and suddenly started coughing violently.

Jiang Ximeng and Tan Yan hurried forward to support him.

"Cough cough cough..."

The coughing still didn't stop, and Mr. Jiang's face turned red.

"grandfather!"

“Grandpa Jiang!”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tan Yan carried the old man on his back and sent him to the hospital.

……

"Xiao Xi, what did you say to grandpa?"

In the corridor outside the ward.

Jiang Ting looked at his daughter seriously.

Jiang Ximeng leaned against the wall in a daze, as if she couldn't hear anything.

She still didn't understand why her grandfather was so angry when he took out this photo.

"Grandpa is awake." Lin Meng said excitedly.

There was a glass panel on the door of the ward, through which she could see clearly what was going on inside. She saw her grandfather sit up by himself.

To be honest, nothing serious happened to Mr. Jiang. He just got angry for a moment and coughed violently.

But this little episode scared Jiang Ximeng, as she hated seeing her family members coming to the hospital the most.

People who had been waiting in the corridor went in one after another to see Mr. Jiang.

Only Jiang Ximeng stood outside, not moving.

"Let's go in together." Tan Yan looked at her.

Jiang Ximeng knew what he meant.

Things have come to this point, and she has to speak out about being hurt twice.

If I tell the truth, grandpa will take this matter seriously and tell me the secret behind the photo in detail.

I didn't want my family to worry about me, but it seems the situation doesn't allow that...

"it is good."

After the other members of the Jiang family left, the two entered the ward and closed the door.

"Xiao Xi, I made you worried."

Old Master Jiang waved to Jiang Ximeng, motioning her to come over.

Although he was a little angry about his granddaughter bringing him the photo, she was still his beloved granddaughter for many years. When he saw her drooping eyes, he no longer felt angry.

"Grandpa..." Jiang Ximeng sniffed and sat next to him.

Tan Yan also sat in a chair next to the bed.

"Grandpa Jiang, I think my grandfather had already told you about this when we came to Jiang's house from Tan's house...Xi Meng is very worried about you."

Tan Yan glanced at Old Man Jiang, and then turned his gaze to Jiang Ximeng.

His words were a little incoherent, but Mr. Jiang understood them.

What he meant was that he knew from Tan Jing that Xiao Xi would bring the photos, so he was mentally prepared. It was impossible for him to suddenly get so angry that he would cough uncontrollably.

Also told him to stop pretending to be sick, as his granddaughter was scared.

He didn't want to scare his granddaughter, but... those were the grudges from their era, and they would be gone with the wind when these old guys died. He didn't want to involve the younger generations.

"You may not know that according to the information I have found, the Zhou family has already taken action against Xi Meng."

"What?" Old Master Jiang was surprised.

His expression was solemn, then gradually turned into anger.

"Zhou Xiong, he is still that villain!"

These are all old things from the previous generation, and I didn’t intend to talk about them.

There is no way to not say it now.

It seems that he is going to break his promise to that man.

Mr. Jiang's thoughts drifted away, and he seemed to murmur, "Decades ago..."

……

He, Tan Jing, Zhou Xiong and Fang Yuting are all from the same town.

There were few schools in that era, so they were naturally classmates.

From elementary school to high school, and finally after the college entrance examination was opened, they happened to choose a university.

After graduation, we started to go our separate ways.

Tan Jing doesn't need to rush around. The Tan family is already huge, so he just needs to move some overseas funds and businesses into the country.

He himself chose the real estate business, which required a large investment but had unlimited prospects.

At the beginning, he was just a small team leader who could read blueprints and led people to work under the scorching sun.

It is not easy to work in this industry. It is not only a matter of money, but also a matter of life and death.

That era was a gray era. The laws were not perfect and it was common for several people to die on construction sites.

Once, he was nearly buried by the piling work for a bridge.

In that era, people emphasized "hitting the living stake".

Similar to the ancient "sacrifice", it is also to pray for everything to go smoothly in the construction project.

This practice is of course against the principles of nature, but many projects in the early days followed this approach and it is no longer a secret.

That day, he was nearly buried inside, and was saved from this disaster thanks to the arrival of Fang Yuting, a bridge designer.

At that time, he only felt that he saw a fairy.

She was so beautiful, she came quickly, and all she had in her eyes was him...
