Chapter 205: 154 Jiang Family’s Fourth Son: Born Rebellious (4 Updates) After the incident with Jiang Shuyan spread through Beijing, everyone sighed and understood that something big was likely to happen soon in the Jiang Family. When Tang Wan arrived at the hospital, the old man was eating a dragon fruit and was still watching “Bright Sword,” seemingly oblivious to the commotion outside. And at the Jiang Family, Jiang Shuyan, who had just returned from the police station, was now kneeling in the living room. Jiang Zhaolin sat on the sofa, his face dark with anger, while the woman seated beside him shrank back timidly, too scared to speak up. “At the previous auction, you played clever by urging Zhuang Rao to bully Tang Wan, but you failed and only brought disgrace upon yourself. And you still dare to repeat your mistakes? Who gave you such guts!” Jiang Zhaolin berated her loudly, startling her into shrinking back. “Father, I was only trying to do what’s best for you, wasn’t I?” After her trip to the police station, she no longer held a trace of arrogance. “Do what’s best for me? Tell me, how is any of this in my interest?” “Don’t you resent always being under your eldest brother’s thumb? Grandma cares a lot about the Tang Family, and if this incident had succeeded and turned the Tangs against us, she would have found out it was my second cousin who did it. If they end up in turmoil, with internal strife and external threats, couldn’t we take advantage...” “Nonsense!” Jiang Zhaolin was so angry he threw his teacup at her. “Do you still think you’re clever now?” “Your two cousins—what kind of people are they? After all these years, you still don’t know them? I’ve warned you repeatedly not to provoke them, and yet you’ve ignored all my advice?” “Father!” Jiang Shuyan was so furious her teeth clenched. “I had no idea Zhuang Rao and that journalist would...” “Idiot!” Jiang Zhaolin’s forehead throbbed with veins. “So full of yourself! Look where it’s gotten you now, ruining our relations completely.” Truth be told, their relationship had always been lukewarm, merely maintained on the surface. But now, with it completely soured, the consequences were entirely different... “Isn’t this outcome rather good? You’ll no longer need to maintain a façade or negotiate with them...” A man walked down from upstairs. “Whatever you want, just take it. No need to hide or hold back anymore.” “How dare you talk such nonsense!” Jiang Zhaolin jumped up from the sofa in anger. “Truthfully, our family never really had a share in the company. We took advantage of Grandpa’s influence to get you on board, and yet you’re not content. Be careful with your greed, or you might choke on it...” The man had a pair of rather beautiful eyes and delicately arched eyebrows, yet a naturally defiant and untamable spirit! Father and son, born to be antagonists. “You unfilial son, get out!” The man just chuckled, picked up the car keys from the entrance, and strode out. Jiang Zhaolin grabbed anything he could throw from the coffee table and hurled them at him, but the man didn’t care, laughing even more brazenly... It nearly gave Jiang Zhaolin a brain hemorrhage! “Oh, and remember, Jiang Shuyan!” Jiang Shuyan was already kneeling on the ground, and stiffened upon hearing the man speak. “I hear you’ve had trouble with Xiaowu? Quite brave of you, my dear sister. I admire your courage, daring to mess with a fiend like Rash. A commendable bravery, even if it left you battered and bloody.” Jiang Zhaolin threw a pillow at him. “Get out, and don’t ever come back!” “Don’t worry, as long as you’re alive, I’ll come back.” He was nonchalant, his tone flippant, showing not a hint of fear. “You disaster of a child!” ... Not everyone in their family was united, which was precisely why Jiang Yanting reminded him that instead of worrying about his own family, it was best to take care of his own. ** The old lady accompanied Mr. Tang downstairs for a walk, with Jiang Jiu following them, while Tang Wan stayed in the hospital room, changing the sheets and pillowcases on the old man’s bed. Meanwhile, she heard Jiang Jinsang mention the Jiang Family’s situation. “I heard Grandpa mention that Jiang Shuyan supposedly had an older brother who died young.” “Yeah, she has two older brothers, one abroad and one in the country. The one at home is always at odds with his dad. Last year during a family meal, he nearly angered his father to death.” “What happened?” “He’s the fourth child in our family, less than a year older than me. Given his age, the family surely pressured him to find a partner. During the New Year gathering, he brought a man home.” A man? What the hell? He had heard that some desperate parents would say any living person would do for marriage, regardless of gender, but he had never actually seen someone bring home a partner of the same sex. “Pff—” Tang Wan nearly burst out laughing, “Then what?” “There were so many relatives there, his uncle couldn’t lose his temper no matter how infuriated he was. They just sat through the meal, but supposedly they had a fight on the way home, and his father told him to get lost.” “What did he do?” “He literally rolled away. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, my grandma called him to come home for the Lantern Festival, and he just rolled back from out of town.” Tang Wan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “This guy is quite interesting.” “You know, my grandma, she always thinks since we’re all family, she even advised my uncle not to stay mad and arranged that meal to mend fences between father and son. But it turns out, he brought a different man home this time.” “Pfft—” Tang Wan really couldn’t hold back her laughter. Jiang Zhaolin was someone she had met, and for someone to be able to infuriate him like that, this person was certainly a talent of his own. Jiang Jinsang chuckled, “That’s what he said. He changed the person because his dad didn’t like the previous one...” Tang Wan laughed out loud. Parents are still quite conservative. You’re a man, and you bring men home again and again, how could they not be upset? “Does he actually like men?” Tang Wan asked curiously. “If you get to meet him, you can ask him yourself.” Tang Wan pursed her lips, “Are you two close?” Jiang Jinsang had a confrontation with Jiang Zhaolin today, and was also at odds with Jiang Shuyan. Tang Wan definitely subconsciously thought that he didn’t get along with that uncle’s family, and yet he had friends? “Our relationship is okay. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?” Tang Wan smiled, “But after today’s incident, I’m afraid your family won’t have peace...” “It was a matter of time. Did you really think Jiang Shuyan came for you?” Jiang Jinsang laughed lightly. “These past years, my father has wanted to retire and hand over the company to my elder brother. There were bound to be people who couldn’t sit still. They might put up with it under my father, but under my brother... would they be willing...” Tang Wan nodded. All outbursts were not without warning; it just happened that her family was a trigger point. Jiang Yanting had rushed back from the company today just to make sure Jiang Jinsang wasn’t bullied? Logically speaking, their brotherly relationship wasn’t that good, right? Tang Wan found it even more puzzling. ** In the blink of an eye, it was nearly evening. Jiang Yanting had found time to go home during the day, and there were still some tasks he hadn’t finished by the end of the workday. “President Jiang, it’s time to leave,” said the secretary, gathering the courage to knock on the door of his office. “I know.” “Your wife called earlier. She reminded me to tell you not to forget that you have an arranged date today after work.” Jiang Yanting’s fingers, which had been typing on the keyboard, stopped. He glanced at him sideways. “I’m out. You’re busy.” Jiang Yanting stretched out his hand to rub his brow, closed the phone, took his coat, and left the office. It was the rush hour for leaving work, and there was some distance between his office and the meeting place for the arranged date. Driving through stop-and-go traffic, it wasn’t long before he’d missed the agreed time. Qi Zeyan called. “Jiang Yanting, where the hell are you?” “On my way.” Jiang Yanting was stuck in traffic, reaching for his Bluetooth headset. “Hurry your ass up and get over here!” Qi Zeyan was bewildered, arriving on time only to find himself sitting opposite two women, staring at each other awkwardly. “It’s your arranged date anyway. Doesn’t make a difference whether I come or not.” “Hold on, what did you say...” Qi Zeyan felt a headache coming on, “Say that again, who’s having the arranged date today?” “You!” “Damn it, today it’s clearly your arranged date, and I’m here to supervise.” Otherwise, Qi Zeyan wouldn’t have rushed over so eagerly right after work. Jiang Yanting’s fingers caressed the steering wheel, chuckling, “Looks like we’ve both been fooled.” “I don’t care, you get over here now. I’ve already met both of them, how do you expect me to slip away!” “Have your assistant call over, make up some emergency, and just leave,” suggested Jiang Yanting with a laugh. “Screw that, you hurry over here.” Now that Jiang Yanting knew it was a setup, he was of course unwilling to show up. He was already contemplating taking the next exit from the overpass, turning around, and heading back home. But suddenly, a familiar voice came through the phone, “Mr. Qi...” “Heh, why are you out?” Qi Zeyan quickly pocketed his phone. “I’m going to the restroom.” Qi Zeyan walked to another area with an awkward smile, still holding the phone, “Jiang Yanting, I’m warning you, get over here now.” “Who was that you were speaking with just now?” “My arranged date!” “I’ll be there soon.” “If you don’t show, I’m storming over to your house tonight, I...” Qi Zeyan blabbered for a while, then suddenly snapped back to reality, “What did you say? You’re coming?” “About fifteen minutes. Don’t let either of them leave.” Qi Zeyan hung up and was still looking bewildered. Not let either of them leave? What the hell? Does he want both?
