Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Chongjing returned to his room with a dark expression. Wu Suyun, who had just finished her makeup, saw his angry expression and asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

“Hmph!” Jiang Chongjing said angrily, “If the old man wasn’t muddle-headed back then, why would he hand the Tianyue Group to a brat?”

The Tianyue Group should have been his, and all the wealth and status should have belonged to him.

Wu Suyun guessed that he might have suffered in front of Jiang Yanshen and comforted him gently. “He lost his father and doesn’t have a good relationship with his mother. His personality is inevitably unruly. You don’t have to lower yourself to his level.”

“Of course I won’t stoop to his level!” Jiang Chongjing gritted his teeth. He thought of something and turned his head to look at her sharply. “Where’s

Yunshen?”

Wu Suyun was already used to being stared at by his inverted eyes. She lowered her head and said calmly, “Maybe he’s not up yet.”

“What time is it already?” Jiang Chongjing raised his eyebrows and said coldly, “Go and wake him up. It’s fine if he’s usually lazy and doesn’t want to improve, but today is the old lady’s birthday banquet, but he still doesn’t take it seriously. He’s simply stupid.”

Although Jiang Yanshen was in charge of the Jiang family now, the person with the highest status was still the old lady. She still held the shares of the Tianyue Group in her hands.

If Jiang Yunshen could get the shares from the old lady, he wouldn’t need to listen to Jiang Yanshen in the future.

Wu Suyun stood up and said obediently, “Alright, I’ll go now.”

Jiang Chongjing glanced at her back and sneered in his heart. Why did he marry such a useless woman back then? His son was also disappointing.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He threw the teacup Wu Suyun had just handed him to the ground. There were water stains and fragments all over the ground. He didn’t even look at it before getting up and walking out of the room.

The servants were all busy, so no one noticed him walking towards the door that was seldom opened.

Li Guilan was lying on the bed, her hair disheveled and messy. She was wearing a black negligee and was cursing the old lady and the group of servants with a haggard expression.

She had been punished by the old lady to kneel in the ancestral hall for a day and a night. Her knees were bruised from kneeling. Now, not to mention walking, she couldn’t even get out of bed.

After that group of little b*tches helped her back, other than sending in three meals a day on time, they had never cared about her again.

Her mouth was dry from the scolding. She reached out to take a glass of water to drink. She was a little far away, so instead of hooking the glass with her fingertips, she knocked it over and spilled the warm water on the carpet.

She was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent it. When she heard the door open, she said angrily, “Are all of you dead…”

She looked up at the door and was suddenly stunned.

Jiang Chongjing closed the door and his cold gaze landed on the fallen cup. He quickly understood and walked forward to pour a new cup of water and placed it on the coffee table.

Li Guilan frowned at him. “Why did you come in?”

Jiang Chongjing handed her the cup. “I didn’t see Sister-in-law when I came back, so I specially came to greet you.”

Li Guilan snorted coldly. She took the cup and finished it in one go. She burped in relief. “Now that you’ve greeted me, you can go out.”

Jiang Chongjing stood still and stared at her deeply. “The old lady is really ruthless. She actually punished you to kneel in the ancestral hall for a day and a night. ”

“She forbade you from coming back for more than ten years. What’s so strange about her doing this to me?” Li Guilan smiled coldly.

She hated the Jiang family to the core. It was the Jiang family who had ruined her life.

Jiang Chongjing said disappointedly, “That’s right. She treats even me like this, let alone you.”

“If she hadn’t snatched Yanshen away from you back then, Yanshen wouldn’t be so distant from you now and stand on the old lady’s side in everything.”

At the mention of this, Li Guilan’s expression turned even uglier. She gritted her teeth in hatred.

“Sister-in-law, actually, we’re in the same boat.” Jiang Chongjing sat down by the bed and said earnestly.

Li Guilan glanced at him sideways. ‘What exactly are you trying to say?”

Jiang Chongjing reached out and pinched the blanket. Li Guilan was shocked and wanted to stop him, but she was too late…

Upon lifting the blanket, her legs were unveiled, adorned in a nightgown that delicately embraced her thighs. After many years of pampering and beauty treatment, her skin looked like a young girl’s, fair and tender. The bruises on her knees looked even more shocking in contrast.

Li Guilan felt a chill run down her spine, especially when she was stared at by his eyes. Goosebumps appeared all over her body as she scolded angrily, “Jiang Chongjing!”

Jiang Chongjing met her embarrassed gaze and chuckled. “Sister-in-law, don’t be angry. I’m just concerned about your leg. After all, we were once allies.”

The angry redness on Li Guilan’s face suddenly disappeared completely, and her eyes became guilty. “You, what nonsense are you talking about!”

“If you hadn’t told me that elder brother was going to meet his lover in private back then, how would I have had the chance?” Jiang Chongjing’s hand landed on her calf and wandered upwards bit by bit.

“When Old Master sent me to Africa, I didn’t even betray you. Isn’t letting you remain as Madam Jiang, who doesn’t have to worry about food and clothing for so many years, enough to prove my sincerity?

Li Guilan’s face turned pale, but her heart involuntarily beat faster, and her voice trembled. “What exactly do you want to do?”

Jiang Chongjing leaned over and approached her. His voice was low, and he didn’t hide his ambition and greed at all. “Since we could cooperate to get rid of Big Brother back then, we can naturally cooperate to get rid of Jiang Yanshen now…”

Li Guilan’s pupils dilated. “Get rid of… Jiang Yanshen.”

“In any case, he won’t stand on your side. What’s the use of keeping such a son?” As he spoke, he had already unbuckled his belt. “As long as we get rid of him, the Jiang Family and Tianyue Group will be ours in the future.”

Li Guilan’s heart trembled. The Jiang Family and Tianyue Group… all hers.

Such a huge temptation was clearly something she couldn’t reject, nor could she reject… Jiang Chongjing’s conquest.

Old Madam Jiang’s birthday banquet was held in a hotel owned by the Tianyue Group. She had invited almost half of the wealthy businessmen and nobles of Lan City.

The peripheral branches of the Jiang family were also unusually active and attentive, hoping to leave a good impression on the old lady and secure a prominent position or lucrative job within the company.

There were some who brought along their daughters who were of marriageable age. If they could catch Director Jiang’s eye today and marry into the Jiang family, their status in Lan City would increase greatly in the future.

It didn’t matter even if Director Jiang didn’t take a fancy to them. There was still Second Young Master Jiang! They didn’t mind.

The banquet hall was decorated very festively. Most of the guests had also arrived. The old lady was old and did not have enough stamina, so she was not in a hurry to come out.

Jiang Chongjing and Wu Suyun helped to greet the guests. Jiang Yunshen originally wanted to escape, but Jiang Chongjing said that he would break his legs if he dared to run.

Jiang Yunshen stood obediently beside him and greeted the guests.

When Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian appeared, they caused quite a commotion.

Firstly, it was because he was holding Lin Qingqian’s hand. Secondly, someone recognized Lin Qingqian and couldn’t help but lower their heads to gossip. Back then, their public divorce had caused quite an uproar. Now, are they going to remarry?

Jiang Yanshen pretended not to hear and held Lin Qingqian’s hand to greet Chairman Liang and his wife.

Previously, Lin Qingqian had accompanied Jiang Yanshen to their wedding anniversary. After not seeing her for so long, Madam Liang was still very friendly to her and kept chattering with her.

Jiang Yanshen chatted with Mr Liang.

When Jiang Yunshen saw Jiang Yanshen, he immediately ran away like a wild horse. “Um, Father, Big Brother is here. I’ll go greet him!”

Without waiting for Jiang Chongjing’s agreement, he ran faster than a rabbit chased by an eagle.

Jiang Chongjing frowned, displeasure appearing in his eyes. But because there were many guests at the event location, it was not appropriate for him to flare up.

Jiang Yunshen finally broke free from his father and ran to Jiang Yanshen to complain. “Big Brother, save me. My father is crazy. He actually asked me in public to go on a blind date!”

“Damn! How can a handsome young master like me be reduced to going to blind dates!”

Jiang Yanshen’s eyebrows moved slightly, and his voice was serious. “Yunshen, don’t be rude in front of your elders.”

Only then did Jiang Yunshen look at Chairman Liang and his wife and greet them politely. “Grandpa Liang, hello, Grandma Liang.”

“Alright.” Madam Liang smiled amiably. “Yunshen is as lively as before.” Jiang Yanshen smirked. “We’ve embarrassed ourselves in front of you.”

Chairman Liang smiled. “You guys chat. We’ll go greet a few old fellows we haven’t seen in a long time.”

Jiang Yanshen nodded and watched them leave.

“Big Brother, save me quickly!” Jiang Yunshen looked angry. “Look at me. I’m so young. Why would I need a blind date!”

Lin Qingqian glanced at Jiang Yunshen. Although he was wearing a sky-blue suit and a red bow tie today, because of his baby face and his cheerful personality, he still looked like an immature child.

“Isn’t a blind date good? Perhaps you’ll meet the right girl.”

“Heh!” Jiang Yunshen rolled his eyes at her with disdain. “Sister-in-law, you’ve watched too many idol dramas!”

With that, he looked at Jiang Yanshen pleadingly.

Jiang Yanshen knew why Jiang Chongjing was so anxious to let Jiang Yunshen get married. Although they were not siblings, they were still blood relatives of the Jiang Family.

“I’ll talk to Second Uncle. Go and play!”

Jiang Yunshen’s eyes lit up as he smiled, revealing his canine teeth. “Thank you, Big Brother!”

Jiang Yanshen’s words were like an imperial edict. With this imperial edict, he could play in peace.

Lin Qingqian looked at Jiang Yunshen’s back as he shuttled through the crowd and couldn’t help but mutter, “If only he could live carefree like this forever.”

Jiang Yanshen understood the meaning in her words. His grip on her hand involuntarily tightened as he lowered his head to look at her. “I hope Second Uncle won’t imDlicate him.”

As long as Jiang Chongjing didn’t involve Yunshen, he could guarantee that he would not hurt him.

Lin Qingqian was silent and didn’t reply.

Not long after, Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang came over and greeted them.

While Gu Xici and Jiang Yanshen were talking, Lin Qingqian looked at Lu Qinshang and gave him a look.

Lu Qinshang understood and followed her to an empty corner. “Why did you call me over?”

With that, he looked at Jiang Yanshen, afraid that he would be misunderstood and prepared to explain at any time.

Lin Qingqian was amused by his cowardice. “I want to ask you for a favor!”

“Huh?” Lu Qinshang narrowed his eyes. “What can I help you with? Isn’t it more effective for you to look for Ah Yan than me?

“Only you can help me with this,” Lin Qingqian said seriously..
