CHAPTER 613 CAN'T HIDE IT
"Ling'er, the betrothal back then was decided by the elders of the family, but after what happened, the engagement was called off, so you don't have to worry yourself over it. Besides, Jiang Ning has been thrown out of the Jiang family, so I don't think your family will have any regard for him."
There were four supremely powerful families in the north. Even though the Jiang family had become one of the four only because Jiang Daoran went into a marriage of convenience back then, why would the Long family be willing to let Long Ling'er marry a son who had been thrown out of a powerful family?
Nobody else in the world were more practical than these so called powerful families!
"My dad has agreed!" Long Ling'er couldn't hide her happiness. "My family has agreed and said they won't stop me anymore. I want to marry Jiang Ning, so I must marry him." "Uncle Jiang, won't you tell me where he is? I'll look for him.”
Jiang Daoran's expression froze for a moment. There was a complicated gleam deep in his eyes.
He glanced at Jiang Hai and Jiang Hai's expression was equally grim.
"Your dad has agreed? How very rare of him," Jiang Daoran calmly responded without giving away any of his emotions. "When Jiang Ning was thrown out of the Jiang family, he came the very next day to call off the engagement. So why is he agreeable now? Is he just trying to console you temporarily?”
"Besides, I wouldn't know where Jiang Ning is. I don't care if he's alive or not. Have you forgotten? He tried to kill me!"
Long Ling'er didn't say anything.
The only time Jiang Ning appeared in the north after so many years was because he wanted to kill Jiang Daoran for revenge.
He had been chased out of the family, left to wander on the streets and even lost his mother because of this. Of course Jiang Ning was going to come back for revenge.
But in the end Jiang Daoran didn't die and Jiang Ning went missing again.
Jiang Daoran looked hard at Long Ling'er. It was really difficult to imagine how this girl swore to marry nobody else but Jiang Ning just because Jiang Ning kissed her when she was three. And even though Jiang Ning was eventually chased out of the house and wandered the streets, she never gave up on him.
"After so many years, do you know what Jiang Ning could have become?" he sighed as he asked Long Ling'er. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
"He might have become a bad person, or he might be a very ordinary person, or...he could already have a wife and children, or he might even already be dead," said Jiang Daoran. "You still want to marry him?"
Long Ling'er's expression changed.
"That's impossible," she frowned slightly.
"He won't change. I will find him and marry him. Nobody can snatch him away from me!"
Long Ling'er got up. She knew that she couldn't get any information from Jiang Daoran, so she nodded politely and took her leave.
Jiang Daoran could only think of how determined Long Ling'er looked before she left, and he started to feel troubled.
It wasn't just because Long Ling'er was still insistent on marrying Jiang Ning. It was more because it seemed like it wasn't possible to hide Jiang Ning's identity anymore and he was about to be exposed.
Otherwise there was no way for that lofty Long family to agree to a marriage that they called off so long ago.
"Master, I'm afraid the Long family already knows,” said Jiang Hai warily. "Someone has leaked news about Young Master's identity."
Jiang Daoran didn't say anything. But the lazy look he had earlier instantly disappeared and there was a deep and intense look on his face now.
If Jiang Ning's identity was exposed, then even more people would be watching him now.
Whoever could get Jiang Ning would become like a tiger with added wings, and they could fly very high.
If they couldn't get him, then they weren't going to let anybody else have him either.
Nobody wanted to see their rivals suddenly become stronger.
So the most effective way was to kill Jiang Ning and get rid of this problem forever.
