Chapter 256 - An Awkward Family Banquet
Chapter 256: An Awkward Family Banquet
The internet storm had finally subsided a little.
The netizens did not dare to say anything more online to provoke Jiang Man.
Mother Jiang posted some more information on the internet, saying that Jiang Man’s physical and mental condition was very poor. She hoped that everyone would stop online bullying Jiang Man.
Jiang Li originally did not plan to file a complaint against Jiang Man for stealing her works. If she wanted to file a complaint, she would have done so long ago. Besides, there was no penalty for plagiarism. As long as the Jiang family spent some money, they could bail Jiang Man out.
If Jiang Li really wanted to get rid of Jiang Man, she had to take down the Jiang family first. According to the investment skills that Fu Jiuxiao had taught her, she planned to sell the shares of the Jiang Corporation at a low price first, and then find someone to buy them back.
This was to confuse the other shareholders of the Jiang Corporation. Then, the Jiang Corporation’s share price continued to fall. If it was in her hands, it would not be worth much, and no one would buy it.
However, before the other shareholders made a move, she did not dare to make any big moves.
Jiang Li took advantage of this mentality. She planned to sell some of her shares and let someone buy them back at a high price.
In the end, when those shareholders saw that there was profit to be made, they would definitely follow suit. They would take this opportunity to buy the shares of the other shareholders of the Jiang Corporation.
She told Fu Jiuxiao about her idea. Fu Jiuxiao said that it was not the right time yet, and he asked her to wait until the Jiang Corporation’s share price reached its lowest point before selling it. As for when, Fu Jiuxiao did not say it. He just told Jiang Li to wait for the news.
Jiang Li thought about it. Fu Jiuxiao was probably planning something, so she listened to Fu Jiuxiao’s suggestion.
On this day, Old Master Fu asked the two of them to go back to the Fu family’s old mansion and have a family banquet together.
Therefore, the two of them got off work early and bought some gifts before heading to the Fu family’s old mansion.
Jiang Li actually did not want to go. After all, she would run into Fu Zhongtian and the others again. Although they had been quite quiet recently and didn’t make any mischief, who knew if they were harboring some bad ideas.
Sure enough, once the two of them entered the old house, apart from Old Master Fu’s smiling face, Fu Zhongtian’s family’s faces were all ashen. What was surprising was that Chu Chu was also there!
Who knew what kind of bewitching potion this family had given Old Master Fu to be able to live in the old mansion like this for no reason.
When Chu Chu saw Jiang Li, although her expression was a little unnatural, she was surprisingly quiet.
After a dinner banquet, Jiang Li almost had a heart attack. It was really too awkward. If it were not for Old Master Fu, she would not have wanted to stay here any longer.
“Jiang Li, how have you been with Jiuxiao recently?”
Old Master Fu narrowed his eyes and smiled as he scooped half a bowl of soup for Jiang Li.
“Pretty good.” Jiang Li smiled politely.
“That’s good. I don’t know what went wrong with Jiang Man these past two days, but it caused the entire Fu family to be in a mess.”
Old Master Fu was furious when he mentioned this. If it was not for Fu Yunze’s pleading for Jiang Man in front of him, he would have canceled their engagement!
“Each and every one of them made me worry. They made me so angry that I would die. You and Jiuxiao are the only ones who made me worry less.”
Jiang Li continued to chat with Old Master Fu with a smile. Fu Yusheng was so angry that his face could not be any uglier, but Fu Jiuxiao still looked at Jiang Li dotingly.
This made Chu Chu very unhappy. If her plan had succeeded, she would be the one sitting next to Fu Jiuxiao! At the moment, she was so jealous that she was going crazy.
Why did she have to marry Fu Yusheng, this mommy’s boy?!
However, no matter how jealous Chu Chu was, she could not let it out. Every step they took was dangerous. If they were not careful, Old Master Fu might drive them all overseas.
Seeing that Fu Zhongtian’s family did not even dare to breathe loudly while eating, Jiang Li felt a burst of joy in her heart.
Even if Li Shuwan occasionally said a few sour words to Jiang Li, Fu Yusheng glared at her so hard that his eyeballs felt like they were about to pop out. Chu Chu stared at Fu Jiuxiao with her red eyes. With Old Master Fu around, she did not dare to let it out.
Fu Zhongtian, this old fox, acted as if nothing had happened. He actually started chatting with Fu Jiuxiao. However, Fu Jiuxiao did not pay much attention to him. In the end, Fu Zhongtian could only awkwardly give up.
In the entire family banquet, only Old Master Fu enjoyed it…
However, Jiang Li was a little surprised that she did not see Fu Yunze. What was more surprising was hearing that Fu Yunze kept pleading with Old Master Fu for Jiang Man. It turned out that Fu Yunze liked Jiang Man so much.
No wonder he was so cold to her in his previous life. He was like a simp.
