If Jiang Haoran wanted to break away from the Jiang family, his biggest weakness would be his two children. If Jiang Wendong could be sent to Black Tornado to study, then he would have absolute assurance. It was said that as long as one was studying in Black Tornado, no one would dare to go in and
cause trouble.
Even if you were to stir up trouble outside, no one would dare to go in and arrest you. Regardless of your identity or background, in front of Black Tornado, you were nothing.
If Jiang Wendong was sent away, only Jiang Wenwen would be left. It had already been decided that after the New Year, Jiang Wenwen would be sent to a girls’ school overseas.
Therefore, if both children were sent away, then it would be easier for him to do something.
However, regardless of whether it was to return the favor or not, Jiang Wendong still had to remind the few people who were present.
“Our old lady is also here tonight. It’s said that Big Brother will also come over.”
Everyone was immediately surprised. Back then, even the old lady of the Jiang family spent her 8oth birthday in a low-key manner. Now, for the sake of a child’s 18-year-old adult banquet, she had to spend so much money. Wasn’t this a little too much?
“President Jiang, aren’t you spending too much? It’s worse than underdoing it. Are you putting yourself on fire?”
Huang Yueyan had always been straightforward, so when she said this, Jiang Haoran was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and said, “Sometimes, on the surface, I look impressive, but in fact, I’m just following orders.”
Hearing Jiang Haoran’s helpless words, Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan looked at each other. It seemed that there was really a big show waiting for them tonight.
This Old Madam Jiang’s legs were not good, and she could barely walk. It was surprising that she would actually hold a birthday party for her son, a promising junior.
The old lady, who was almost 90 years old, had been shrewd all her life. She was a member of the red generation. Back then, she was a rural woman who could not read a single word. However, she was able to organize the women in the village to form a female assault team. In the end, she even saved the
head of state at that time.
Just this kind of deed was enough to serve as a model. Therefore, the old lady’s status was extremely high.
However, it was precisely because of this that the relationship between Old Madam Jiang and Old Master Jiang was not good.
In those years, Old Master Jiang was one of the first group of young people who fought against the Japanese. His military achievements were outstanding, and his status was extremely high after the liberation. However, he had made a mistake that all men would make. He was prepared to stop his wife
and remarry. He was going to divorce his wife, who was from the countryside.
However, he did not expect that his wife’s achievements would be so amazing after he had left for so many years. She was not someone that he could easily divorce.
Moreover, his wife had raised four children by herself over the years, and the children were not close to him. This was no different from living a widow’s life.
Therefore, the two old people did not separate later. They remained together for a lifetime.
The few sons of Old Madam Jiang were extremely filial to her, especially the eldest. Of course, the eldest’s achievements were also the highest.
The eldest’s current achievements were inseparable from Old Madam Jiang’s nurturing. Therefore, Old Madam Jiang’s love and protection for the eldest, Jiang Haoting, was definitely higher than the other children. The most important thing was… Jiang Haoting had already stood at the peak of power.
From that era onwards, she knew what it was like to have power. If it wasn’t for her saving the leader back then and having her own team, then her fate… She would have been abandoned by her husband just like any other rural woman. She would even have to bear the name of being a remnant of the
feudal society.
Therefore, when her eldest son raised his purpose and even went so far as to be furious that something was wrong with his body, Old Madam Jiang naturally had to stand on her eldest son’s side.
It was nothing more than a marriage alliance. Her second son wasn’t a young man. What was there to be reluctant about? Everything should be prioritized for her eldest son’s interests.
Old Madam Jiang’s success tonight could also be considered a signal. Of course, Jiang Haoran would never tell Yan Kuan. Old Madam Jiang also wanted to look at her future ‘daughter-in-law’.
“If the old lady has any inappropriate remarks tonight, Xiaoxiao will have to be tolerant when the time comes.”
She did not expect Jiang Haoran to suddenly mention this. Shen Xiaoxiao was greatly surprised. How could she be tolerant?
What would Old Madam Jiang say to her? What did it have to do with her?
On the other hand, Jiang Haoting saw that Yan Kuan’s expression had become extremely cold and stern. Jiang Haoran braced himself and said to Yan Kuan, “Little Yan, I owe you a favor for this matter. I have no choice.”
Yan Kuan ignored him and walked to the side with Shen Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Haoran watched Yan Kuan leave and shook his head helplessly. He only turned around and left after exchanging a few pleasantries with Huang Yueyan.
He had better go and talk to the old lady. What was going on?
“What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so pale? What did Jiang Haoran mean by what he said just now? What does his old lady have against me?”
Yan Kuan glanced at Shen Xiaoxiao and reached out to help her tidy up her hair. He said helplessly, “Our Xiaoxiao is too outstanding. There are always some people who overestimate themselves and want to cling to her. They even think that their family is really the future Ouyang family and want to do
whatever they want.”
“Ah? No way? You don’t mean what I think, do you?”
“Yes, it’s what you think.”
“Hahaha, look, everyone thought that we were going to get a divorce. But my market is pretty good. I haven’t even gotten a divorce yet, and someone has already taken a fancy to me. And it’s that kind of family.”
“Little thing, don’t even think about leaving my side in this lifetime. Give up on this idea as soon as possible.”
“I didn’t say anything. What are you so excited about? But don’t blame me for not reminding you. You have a ‘female confidant’ looking at you with a resentful gaze not far away.”
Yan Kuan naturally knew who this person she was talking about was. She was just a clown.
“[haven’t said anything yet. You actually allied with them to look at me as a joke. You’re really gutsy.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Kuan and stared at him with an extremely strange gaze. His scalp tingled. Why was Xiaoxiao looking at him like that?
Shen Xiaoxiao said, “Yan Kuan, do you really not remember anything that happened to Long Xi at all?”
Yan Kuan did not expect that Shen Xiaoxiao would actually ask this question, so he said, “I really don’t remember. Many of them were told to me secretly. Also, I found out on my own. What’s wrong? Is there something that I don’t know?”
Shen Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly. It seemed that not only would she have to watch Yan Kuan’s good show tonight, there would also be people waiting to watch her good show.
“Then tonight, the two of us will probably steal the limelight from the main character. Yan Kuan, no matter what you see later, I hope you can be calm and collected.”
Yan Kuan frowned. Why was it getting more and more strange? What exactly did Long Xi do back then?
“What else did Long Xi do?”
“He didn’t do anything, but you, Yan Kuan, did something disgusting. Oh, I forgot. Along with your confidante..”
