CHAPTER 572 CHANGE
Jiang Daoran burst out laughing.
"I'll let the young people decide for themselves and I won't interfere," replied Jiang Daoran. "I happened to be in Donghai today and heard that Jiang Ning is here, so I thought I'd drop by. I hope I didn't disturb the both of you."
"Oh no not at all! If you're in Donghai, you must come and visit us."
Jiang Daoran nodded.
He got up and looked apologetically at them, "I've come in quite a hurry this time and I can't stay for long. I have to take my leave now, and if there's a chance, I'll invite you over to my place and we could chat more."
Lin Wen and Su Mei both stood up and tried to ask Jiang Daoran to stay for a meal.
But since Jiang Daoran seemed to be in a hurry to go elsewhere, they didn't try to make him stay anymore. They saw him to the door and went back in only after he had gotten into the car.
Jiang Daoran was silent for a long time in the car. He leaned back in his seat and looked like he was in a daze.
Jiang Hai focused on driving and looked in the rear mirror from time to time. He knew that Jiang Daoran must have many conflicting emotions in his heart right now.
"Do you know what was the first thing Jiang Ning said to me when he saw me again after he was all grown up?" Jiang Daoran asked suddenly.
"Er..."
Jiang Hai was stunned for a while, then he shook his head.
"He looked at me murderously and said that he will definitely kill me.”
Jiang Daoran remembered it vividly.
At that time, Jiang Ning had already become so powerful he was invincible. He had killed his way into the Jiang house in the middle of the night and nobody could block his way at all. If Jiang Ning had decided to kill him that night, Jiang Daoran would definitely have died.
He remembered it so clearly. The expression on Jiang Ning's face carried anger and hatred, and he most certainly blamed Jiang Daoran for everything that had happened.
Jiang Ning blamed Jiang Daoran for not fighting for them to stay, for causing he and his mother to be chased out of the Jiang house, for making them end up wandering on the streets, and even for causing Jiang Ning to lose his mother.
Jiang Daoran's eyes were a little red now.
"The way he spoke to Lin Yuzhen's mother over phone just now...I don't think I'll ever hear him talk to me that way." Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
"Master, that's not true. One day Young Master will understand what happened and he'll understand you..." "No, he won't.' Jiang Daoran shook his head and turned to look out of the window. There was a tear at the corner of his eye, and it was unbecoming of his status.
Jiang Hai immediately stopped looking at Jiang Daoran.
"Master, do you still want to meet with Lin Yuzhen?" Jiang Hai quickly changed the topic.
"No need. After seeing her parents, I'm very sure she's a very good girl. She's just as kindhearted as Jiang Ning's mother." Jiang Daoran took a deep breath. "That's that. I've agreed to this relationship."
"But..." Jiang Hai hesitated. "The Long family - when Long Ling'er was three years old, she insisted on marrying nobody else but Young Master and she's still waiting for him, even though he's no longer a member of the Jiang family. Besides, given Young Master's current identity, the Long family...won't give up either." "Humph." The air around Jiang Daoran suddenly changed and he was now like a ferocious tiger that had just been woken up from his slumber.
Even Jiang Hai felt his body tremble when he sensed this air despite being a highly skilled fighter.
"The Long family might be more powerful than the Jiang family, but so what? If Jiang Ning doesn't want to marry her then he's not marrying her! Jiang Ning can marry whoever he wants to! The Long family has no right to interfere!" Jiang Daoran scoffed coldly. "Whoever dares to interfere will have to step over my dead body first!"
Jiang Hai felt his heart skip a beat.
The consequences of Jiang Daoran's words were too severe.
Among the supremely powerful families of the north, the Long family was still more powerful than the Jiang family. If these two families went to war with one another, it would cause a terrible earthquake in the north.
If Jiang Ning didn't have so many achievements behind him and didn't have the incomparable honor he had now nor the name of being the God of War, the Long family might not be willing to let their precious daughter marry Jiang Ning either.
But now as long as they had a daughter of marriageable age, all the powerful families were hoping that she could marry Jiang Ning. He would be a huge support to whichever family got him as a son- in-law.
And whoever couldn't get Jiang Ning would not be willing to let anybody else marry him. Besides, Jiang Ning had now married an ordinary girl.
Was it worth ruffling so many feathers over who Jiang Ning married?
"I will not let Jiang Ning have anymore regrets.”
Jiang Daoran said these words very softly, but Jiang Hai heard them loud and clear.
"Go back to the Jiang house."
"Yes, Master."
Jiang Hai knew that after Jiang Daoran went back home this time, he was going to make a move. He had been in hiding for many years and never displayed what he was truly capable of.
And now, once he made a move, he would definitely cause a huge wave to go through the north.
The north was going to see a huge change too.
