Chapter 2756 Another Victim
"What are you doing here?"
Jiang Wan stood in front of Jiang Zhen, looking at her father's angry look. Jiang Wan didn't want to tell him the news.
But if she didn't tell him, her father would definitely blame her, so Jiang Wan told the truth.
"Father, I just got a message here. It is said that my sister's traces appeared in a city in the south of China."
"What? What's going on? Someone just reported that clues about your sister were found in Toronto, North America. Now why is there another message in China?"
"Three places have received news about my sister. What does this mean? My sister is also an ordinary person and can't split herself."
On the same day, he received two messages, both about his daughter, which made Jiang Zhen think about it.
He leaned on the sofa, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest. His frowning brows gradually relaxed. After thinking calmly, he felt that there was a clue to this matter.
His eyes became brighter, Jiang Zhen straightened up, walked to the balcony of the hotel, opened the curtains, and outside was a bustling and noisy city.
"It seems that this matter is not that simple. Someone is spreading the news behind us and leading us by the nose."
Jiang Zhen's conclusion is the same as Jiang Wan's. The father and daughter thought of a place. Jiang Wan had already considered this before.
Jiang Wan just didn't say it out loud. Now that her father has also brought it up, it means that this guess is correct. There must be someone behind the scenes making trouble.
"Father, do you mean that someone is deliberately interfering and interfering with the Jiang family's vision?"
"I believe that we will soon receive news about your sister appearing in other city countries, and such news will continue."
"But I don't understand, what is the other party's intention in doing this, why do they have to go against our Jiang family?"
Jiang Zhen couldn't figure this out either. If he thought of who it was, he would immediately think of a strategy to deal with it.
And he felt that it seemed that no one had the ability to dare to go against the Jiang family and disrupt the work of the Jiang family.
"For the time being, I can't think of who it is. Although the other party is spreading the news to lead us by the nose, we can only go on like this for now."
If the news is true, it will be an important opportunity for Jiang Zhen. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think about it.
"June 12th is the first day of May in the lunar calendar. There is not much time left for us. Before that, your sister must go to the Xiao family."
Marriage is a big deal. For such a big family, it takes a month in advance to prepare, which means that Jiang Zhen only has more than two months.
Jiang Wan also knows that if her sister doesn't show up by then, the Jiang family will lose face in front of the Xiao family and lose the dignity of the Jiang family.
The marriage was decided by Xiao Qian and the old ancestor of the Xiao family. If her sister ran away from the marriage privately, it would be like slapping the face of the Xiao family. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be angry.
"Today is March 4th. Father, have you ever thought about what we should do if my sister really doesn't show up?"
"This rebellious thing ran away without caring about the interests of the family. If I find her, I will definitely break her legs!"
Jiang Zhen said angrily, but there was no way to get angry here now. Although the consequences were very serious, Jiang Zhen had already thought of another plan.
Looking at the daughter in front of him, if he didn't distinguish carefully, outsiders couldn't tell which one was the elder sister and which one was the younger sister. It was precisely because of this that Jiang Zhen felt more confident.
"Jiang Wan, if one day you have to make sacrifices for the interests of the Jiang family, what choice will you make? Will you do such a rebellious act like your sister?"
Jiang Wan understood the meaning of her father's eyes. She lowered her head here and said sincerely.
"Father, don't worry about this. I will definitely put the interests of the Jiang family first. No matter what you ask me to do, I will definitely accept the arrangement."
"Well said, this is my good daughter. I have thought about this. You and your sister look very similar, and the Xiao family has never seen you."
"Father means..."
There is a saying called stealing and replacing pillars, which is similar to Jiang Zhen's thoughts at the moment. This is also the last resort. Only in this way can the Jiang family save face and fulfill the engagement with the Xiao family.
Jiang Zhen stood up with a smile and patted his daughter on the shoulder a few times. This action has a meaningful meaning. He smiled and said.
"If your unpromising sister really doesn't know how to come back, I can only let you marry the Xiao family instead of your sister. You shouldn't have any objections, right?"
"Father, I..."
"The one who has an engagement with the Jiang family is Xiao Huaili's eldest son. He will inherit the position of the head of the Xiao family in the future. This opportunity is rare for you."
Jiang Wan had heard about the man of the engagement a long time ago. Xiao Qing of the Xiao family is said to be a very capable person. When he was sixteen years old, he had already started to take care of the affairs of the Xiao family.
But no matter what, Jiang Wan couldn't be interested in a strange man. For some reason, a yardstick appeared in her mind when she mentioned marriage.
Jiang Wan understood what her father meant, and at the same time, she was mentally prepared for the fate that would follow. She said softly.
"Does father want me to replace my sister?"
"There is only this way. If you replace your sister, as long as the news doesn't leak out, no one will notice it, so I'm asking you, will you follow the arrangement?"
"I..."
Jiang Zhen's face was calm, but with an irresistible majesty. This is the fate of the Jiang family's women. I guess the Jiang family's ancestors already know this idea.
Jiang Wan's face was calm. She smiled at Jiang Zhen and finally smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, father. I will accept the arrangement of my family. If my younger sister really doesn't come back, I will marry into the Xiao family on her behalf and fulfill the agreed marriage contract."
"Haha...Okay, I feel relieved with your words. You are much better than your bastard sister. If Xiao Qing becomes the head of the Xiao family in the future, it will be of great benefit to our Jiang family."
This is the sadness of marriage in a large family. You don't have the right to choose. You can only accept it. If you resist, you will be criticized and beaten to a pulp.
Jiang Wan would not accept such an arrangement at first, but thinking that it was for her sister, she accepted such an arrangement. At this moment, Jiang Wan said in her heart.
"Sister, please don't come back. Only by leaving the Jiang family can you gain true freedom."
