Chapter 5: Jiang Manwan

After quickly organizing her luggage and changing into casual clothes, Jiang Se was summoned to the dining room by the maid.

Talking about food made Jiang Se realize how hungry she was. She had only eaten a little at noon before coming to the Nie family. After comforting Nie Sijing, she took a nap.

As she entered the dining room, she saw a long table with Nie Shu sitting at the head and Nie Sijing on his left.

Upon seeing Jiang Se, a maid immediately led her to a seat on Nie Shu's right, opposite Nie Sijing.

The recent events had already spread throughout the castle, and the servants were surprised that this newly arrived young lady could actually suppress the violent factor within Nie Sijing.

They became even more respectful and cautious towards Jiang Se.

"Grandfather..." Jiang Se was still not used to addressing him this way, but she knew that she would have to eventually, considering that she and Nie Sijing were already married. Nie Shu nodded in satisfaction, even more pleased with his new daughter-in-law.

"Good child, please eat."

In order to maintain her figure, Jiang Se didn't eat much. She wanted to speak up several times when she saw Nie Sijing feeding her in a pig-feeding manner, but seeing the happy Nie Shu at the head of the table, she could only eat in silence.

When Jiang Se couldn't eat anymore, she glared at Nie Sijing, who still wanted to continue feeding her.

Was he treating her like a pig???

Nie Sijing looked a bit innocent; he just felt that his little wife was a bit thin and bony.

But Jiang Se didn't see it that way.

After the meal, Jiang Se played chess with Nie Sijing and Nie Shu.

Although she had some understanding of chess, she couldn't comprehend the intense competition between the grandfather and grandson on the chessboard. But as the game progressed, the two of them became more relaxed.

Suddenly, Nie Shu asked, "Has the lawyer been found?"

Nie Sijing made a move and replied, "Yes, we got everything out of him."

It suddenly dawned on Jiang Se that this matter was related to her. Three days ago, she had called Nie Shu and asked the Nie family to find the lawyer who had written her father's will.

She didn't expect the Nie family to act so quickly, not only finding the lawyer but also getting him to reveal everything.

No wonder Jiang Chengmin had worked so hard in his previous life to climb up to the Nie family.

"What are your plans, daughter-in-law?" Nie Shu asked Jiang Se absentmindedly.

Um...

Jiang Se thought for a moment and replied, "If I act directly against them, it would be too good for them. I want to take it slow."

In this lifetime, Jiang Se didn't want to let her uncle's family off so easily.

Moreover, she had a lot of dirt on Jiang Manman.

Jiang Manman, her cousin, had made her debut in the singing world at the age of seventeen with a song called "Misty," which quickly made her a relatively popular singer, even self-proclaiming herself as the "Nation's First Love."

However, Jiang Se knew that she was the lyricist and composer of "Misty," but Jiang Manman had taken it and directly claimed it as her own. Most of the subsequent songs released by Jiang Manman were stolen from Jiang Se.

At that time, Jiang Se didn't know about her uncle's family's ambitions, and she was quite indifferent at first. She didn't mind Jiang Manman using her songs for her debut, but as it happened more and more, she became more vigilant... Fortunately, she had always been prepared for this.

What worried Jiang Se even more was Song Ruoxi. In her previous life, she had been defeated by her.

Song Ruoxi was the illegitimate daughter of the Song family, born from the first love of Song's father. However, the rest of the Song family was unaware of Song Ruoxi's existence. In the present, she was a highly popular actress in the entertainment industry.

Jiang Se knew that Song Ruoxi not only had means but also had the support of Duan family's playboy.

The Duan family was also one of the giants in the entertainment industry, and while Jiang's Flashing Star Entertainment was declining, the Duan family's Glorious Entertainment was thriving.
