Chapter 305: Conspiracy

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Song Shi was persuaded, but she was still indignant. Jiang Chen continued, “I know you’ve been wronged. Don’t worry, I’m here.”

Jiang Chen was very good at coaxing Song Shi. He hadn’t made any promises, but Song Shi thought he would avenge her, so she calmed down a lot. Then, Jiang Chen said, “Let’s go home first. The gift I gave you has been delivered. Don’t you want to open it?”

Jiang Chen’s tone sounded like he was giving an order. It wasn’t a gentle tone at all, but Song Shi was completely carried away by his words. She nodded and went home immediately.

Jiang Chen cast a cold glance at Song Shi’s back and told Li Lin to go home with Song Shi.

After everything was settled, Song Chuan went to a restaurant with Jiang Chen.

There were many delicacies and good wine at the banquet today, but everyone was busy socializing and didn’t have time to eat properly. Now that the banquet was over, they felt hungry.

Jiang Chen ordered a steak. While cutting the steak, he said coldly, “You didn’t tell me what would happen tonight beforehand.”

Song Chuan said helplessly, “I only found out about this right before as well. The old man decided at the last minute. It was already too late when I wanted to inform you. The old man knew that tonight was your first appearance in the business world, so he wanted to use this opportunity to get his granddaughter engaged.”

His granddaughter, not Song Chuan’s daughter.

That’s right, Song Chuan wasn’t Song Shi’s biological father. This was also the reason why the old man didn’t like him.

Song Chuan was an illegitimate son born by the old master’s mistress. The old master didn’t care about him and let him fend for himself until Song Shi’s parents passed away in a car accident after Song Shi was born. The old master was unwilling to let his dearest granddaughter be without her parents, so he brought Song Chuan back.

Although Li Lin knew the truth, she had no children. Therefore, she raised Song Shi as her biological daughter and doted on Song Shi very much.

However, Song Chuan had always resented Old Master Song for being so biased and heartless, so he had always wanted to take over the Song family’s assets. As a result, he didn’t have any feelings for Song Shi and had always been very distant from Song Shi.

On the other hand, Song Shi took advantage of the old master’s doting and didn’t take anyone seriously. She also didn’t respect Song Chuan, her father in name.

It wasn’t until a few years ago that Jiang Chen found Song Chuan and the two of them established a cooperation. With Song Chuan’s help, Jiang Chen gradually developed the Jiang family.

Later on, Song Chuan arranged for Song Shi to meet Jiang Chen and used all kinds of tricks to make Song Shi fail in love with Jiang Chen.

After Mu Zhou came to this world and became Jiang Chen, they continued their plan and took control of everything.

Song Chuan swallowed the steak and said, “Song Shi is getting more and more disobedient. She wants too much, and I can’t control her anymore. However, the old man hasn’t passed on the power in his hands to me yet. Without your engagement with Song Shi, all our efforts will be in vain.”

Jiang Chen let out a long sigh of relief and didn’t say anything else.

This was indeed a problem. Although the Jiang family was expanding and had become a family that others couldn’t underestimate, there was still the Shi family and Li Ci, so he needed the Song family’s help.

However, Jiang Chen was still angry. He suddenly stabbed his fork into the steak as he said with annoyance, “Song Hong is becoming more and more muddle-headed! His sudden decision pushed me to the center of attention and almost destroyed my plan that had been in the making for so many years! Li Ci was exposed as the mastermind today. I could have watched Shi Xiao and Li Ci fight while I reaped the benefits.”

“Now, everyone knows that I’ve joined forces with the Song family. No one can tolerate the Song family having a monopoly in A City, so Shi Xiao and Li Ci will definitely join forces again! 1 can only postpone the plan to annex the Shi family!”

Song Chuan wasn’t worried about Shi Xiao and Li Ci working together. He ate his steak leisurely as he said, “Shi Xiao is nothing to be afraid of. If a person has a weakness, there’s no need to be afraid. Originally, I didn’t believe in Shi Xiao’s feelings for Yuan Shu, but from what happened tonight, it’s impossible for Shi Xiao to give up on this woman. Therefore, Shi Xiao will definitely compromise for this woman’s sake. If we use Yuan Shu to cause trouble, Shi Xiao and Li Ci definitely won’t continue working together..”
