Chapter 61 -61: Seeking Help from Jiang Zhe

Strangers who wouldn’t even glance at something were treasuring it, Jiang Yunxuan carefully picked it up and slipped it into his pocket. He patted his pocket to make sure it was securely inside before he stopped.

Knowing Jiang Zhe wouldn’t stay long, Jiang Yunxuan’s gaze quickly dimmed.

In this family, Jiang Zhe was the only one who looked favorably upon this younger brother. She thought for a moment and asked, “Do you want anything else for your birthday present?”

“Having you come is the best birthday gift. But still…” Jiang Yunxuan’s beautiful eyes twinkled, “Sis, could you write something for me in calligraphy? A brushstroke word, any will do.”

Jiang Zhe remembered his fondness for calligraphy, with his self-taught brush skills yielding beautiful results.

It just so happened that she too had those skills, having briefly mentored him before.

“Alright, bring me paper and brush.”

Jiang Yunxuan fetched them from a side.

“You had it prepared already, trying to trick me?” Jiang Zhe said as she picked up the brush.

Jiang Yunxuan helped her grind the inkstick, “No, I really just thought of it now. I usually practice calligraphy here, so I have everything.”

Jiang Zhe preferred not to use pre-made ink; she always insisted on grinding it fresh.

She dipped the brush in the thickly ground ink and on the paper wrote one character: Yunxuan.

Watching her powerful and elegant strokes, Jiang Yunxuan forgot to grind the ink, but luckily Jiang Zhe had already finished writing.

At that moment, Jiang Fanyue was welcoming friends and relatives invited to the house, passing by through the back garden.

Zhang Xi, walking alongside her, craned her neck for a look and, seeing Jiang Zhe writing with a brush, whispered, “Jiang Zhe still comes to the Jiang Family’s house?”

Jiang Fanyue followed Zhang Xi’s gaze, catching sight of this scene too.

Jiang Yunxuan had never been close to her since they were young, yet strangely, he got along well with Jiang Zhe.

As the beloved youngest son in the family, Jiang Yunxuan’s attitude could, to some extent, influence the other members.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhe’s temper had always been odd and unsociable, earning her a level of disdain from everyone.

But seeing that Jiang Zhe was still determined to start from Jiang Yunxuan, Jiang Fanyue felt very displeased.

“It’s Yunxuan’s birthday; it’s normal for her to want to come,” Jiang Fanyue said softly, no wonder she couldn’t find Jiang Yunxuan earlier, he must have been snagged by Jiang Zhe.

What was Jiang Zhe’s purpose in coming today?

Could she be planning to use Jiang Yunxuan for some scheme?

“Fanyue, this is the gift we brought for Yunxuan. Where is he?” A family friend beside her inquired.

Coming back to her senses, Jiang Fanyue motioned for them to enter the living room, “Yunxuan will be out in a moment, please take a seat and have some water first.”

She looked up and saw Jiang Zhang approaching, “Dad.”

“Have you seen Jiang Zhe?” Jiang Zhang asked.

“I haven’t. What’s up?” Jiang Fanyue pinched her fingers anxiously; perhaps the birthday celebration was meant to include Jiang Zhe too?

Why would that be?

Jiang Zhe had already severed ties with the Jiang Family, what right did she have to be here?

“I haven’t noticed, is big sis coming today?” her voice sounded unnatural.

Jiang Zhang shook his head, “She hasn’t agreed yet. Never mind, I’ll go check on her again.”

Jiang Zhang and Liang Jinlan had discussed it; despite their grievances against Jiang Zhe, since she was the international champion of a junior piano competition and acquainted with professors from the Beijing Music Academy, she certainly had some influence.

Therefore, she still held some value to the Jiang Family.

It only made sense for her to be invited to the birthday banquet, given that she had a fairly good relationship with Jiang Yunxuan.

Watching Jiang Zhang’s receding figure, a chill rose from Jiang Fanyue’s feet and rushed straight to her head, making her shiver despite the comfortably warm room.

“Fanyue.”

Hearing Gu Jiaheng’s voice, Jiang Fanyue finally turned around, her warmth gradually returning, “Brother Jiaheng.”

“What are you thinking about so intensely?” Gu Jiaheng asked with a smile.

“I was wondering… when you would come over,” Jiang Fanyue made an innocently charming pout with a smile.

Jiang Fanyue’s answer pleased Gu Jiaheng; he liked her demonstrative affection rather than attracting his attention with indifference.

“Haven’t I just come over?” Gu Jiaheng said tenderly, looking at her, “Where’s Yunxuan?”

Her face instantly displayed a woeful expression, “Sister came, she’s over with Yunxuan right now.”

Jiang Fanyue hung her head low, seemingly very worried.

Her hands were constantly wringing together.

Gu Jiaheng saw this and felt deeply moved.

He clearly understood her concerns; between the Gu Family and the Jiang Family, he could only choose one daughter to marry.

It was either Jiang Fanyue or Jiang Zhe.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

He had already settled on Jiang Fanyue, and if Jiang Zhe interfered… How could the gentle and kind Jiang Fanyue ever compete with Jiang Zhe?

A sense of indescribable satisfaction rose in Gu Jiaheng’s heart. Being pursued and competed for by two sisters in different manners was a source of pride difficult to express as a man.

However, when compared to Jiang Zhe’s indescribable ways, he obviously preferred Jiang Fanyue’s style of expression.

“Don’t worry, Fanyue, Jiang Zhe has already left. The moment she chose to leave, she was no longer a member of the Jiang family,” Gu Jiaheng consoled.

Gu Jiaheng’s words had a calming effect on Jiang Fanyue. Regardless of how the others in the Jiang family felt about Jiang Zhe, as long as Gu Jiaheng didn’t care, nothing would ever change.

“By the way, I’ve also invited Ouyang Yuan over, it’s a surprise for you!” Gu Jiaheng whispered to her.

“Ouyang Yuan?” Jiang Fanyue almost leapt up, her heart pounding fiercely.

Was it the Ouyang Yuan she was thinking of?

Gu Jiaheng nodded, giving her a definitive answer.

Jiang Fanyue felt as light as a feather, her tone softened considerably, “Brother Jiaheng, thank you so much!”

Ouyang Yuan, a renowned calligrapher from Dragon Emperor Country, became famous at a young age unlike those who gained fame later in life. His reputation was known far and wide, and he remained popular into his sixties.

His brushwork was enchanting and his calligraphy was in high demand; the last time someone managed to get him to personally write a character, it was someone who featured only in major news broadcasts.

Those who knew Jiang Yunxuan were aware of his excellent calligraphy skills and deep interest in the art. Gu Jiaheng inviting Ouyang Yuan would surely delight Yunxuan.

This could also directly improve the strained relationship between the siblings that had persisted for years.

With the support of Gu Jiaheng and Jiang Yunxuan, Jiang Fanyue’s position in the Jiang family would be doubly assured.

“What’s to thank? There’s more good news for you. The JZ Pharmaceutical Research Institute you asked about also got back to me…”

“Really?!” This time, Jiang Fanyue was truly excited, screaming with joy.

Out in the back garden, having finished her conversation with Jiang Yunxuan, Jiang Zhe was about to grab her bag and leave.

Jiang Zhang, along with a few relatives, rushed over hurriedly and saw Jiang Zhe. They quickly intercepted her.
