Chapter 143: Take Brother Along

Jiang Ye Ye looked toward Jiang Huan, tone decisive: "From today on, all your bank cards under your name are frozen, you are not allowed to participate in any family business for life! If you dare to have ulterior motives again, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my son!"

Jiang Huan and Jiang Yun's faces changed.

"Dad!" Jiang Huan's pupils shrank, as if he couldn't believe his own ears.

He instinctively clenched his fists, joints whitening, his originally decent suit now looked messy.

Beside him, Jiang Yun was even more like struck by lightning, lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence.

The father and son glanced at each other, both seeing panic and disbelief in each other's eyes.

They never thought the old master would be so harsh.

Jiang Ye Ye angrily pointed at them, speechless for a while, then slammed the table: "Tie them up for me, send them back to the old residence!"

Bodyguards stepped forward immediately; Jiang Huan wanted to struggle but was held down firmly.

Jiang Yun cried out: "Grandfather, I was wrong! I won't dare again! Please give me another chance!"

As soon as the words fell, the two black-clad bodyguards guarding the door immediately responded, moving swiftly without hesitation.

Realizing the old master was serious, Jiang Huan came to his senses, struggled fiercely: "Dad! You can't treat me like this! Jiang clan also has my share!"

Then he said to the bodyguards: "You dare! I am the eldest son of the Jiang family!"

But he, having lived a life of comfort, was no match for the trained bodyguards, and was soon pinned down.

Jiang Liangjin felt bored; his father owned a large portion of Jiang family shares.

Although grandfather said he no longer manages the company, those big shareholders who followed grandfather to build the empire are all people who value old sentiments and rules, and have long recognized him as the sole heir.

Thinking of this, he gave them a provocative look.

Jiang Huan and Jiang Yun noticed his expression:!

Jiang Yun also ignored him, wanting to go forward and pull grandfather, but was blocked by the bodyguards: "Grandfather, I was wrong! I really was wrong! It was my bewitched heart, I shouldn't have followed my dad's nonsense! Please give me another chance, I will behave properly from now on, never again!"

Old residence?

Afterwards going to the old residence would mean living together with the old man?

How could he tolerate the old residence's life!

The Jiang family old residence has many rules, also need to wake up early and sleep late; daily besides reading, practicing calligraphy, viewing paintings, it's all scholarly matters, boring and tedious.

Jiang Ye Ye looked at Jiang Yun's tearful face, a flicker of struggle flashed in his eyes, then covered by heavy disappointment.

He turned his face: "Take them away, without my word, they are not allowed to step out of the old residence half a step."

Bodyguards responded, dragging the father and son outwards; their crying gradually faded, and the hall finally regained silence.

Jiang Liangjin stood aside, coldly watching all this, his eyes devoid of any ripple.

Jiang Su walked to his side, patted his shoulder: "It's okay."

Jiang Ye Ye looked at Jiang Liangjin, tone softened, with guilt: "A Jin, it's grandfather's fault for not disciplining them well, letting you suffer."

Jiang Liangjin shook his head, stood up and supported the elder: "Grandfather, I'm fine, the path they chose is theirs, the consequences they must bear."

Jiang Su nodded: "Exactly exactly."

Beside, Shen Ningmu sighed, handed over a cup of hot tea: "Father, don't let anger harm your body; this outcome is also their own doing."

Jiang Ye Ye took the tea cup, fingertips felt warmth, his tense nerves slightly relaxed.

He looked at the sensible grandson and sensible daughter-in-law, lightly sighed, voice weary yet also relieved: "Good, good..."

Cheng Siqing and her son and daughter said goodbye and left.

The always silent third uncle Jiang Yuan opened his mouth: "Father, I'm going home first, you also don't be too angry, elder brother needs strict discipline for several decades."

Jiang Ye Ye nodded, waved his hand, indicating he could leave.

Jiang Su looked at Jiang Yuan's departing back, said: "I doubt it, elder brother's character, greedy and selfish, several decades may not be able to discipline him well, maybe he'll continue causing trouble in the old residence."

Jiang Liangjin didn't respond, just lifted his gaze to look at Jiang Ye Ye: "Grandfather has worked hard all day, better to go rest first? The rest, leave it to me and Dad to handle."

Jiang Su showed disbelief, revealing a "you finally understand?" expression.

Jiang Ye Ye recovered, put down the tea: "Still A Jin obedient..."

He gave a few instructions then returned to the old residence.

Only Jiang Liangjin, Jiang Su, Shen Ningmu remained in the hall.

Jiang Su immediately stepped forward, eyes eager looking at Jiang Liangjin: "A Jin, you just said the rest would be handled by you and me, have you figured it out, want to take over the company?"

He has been hoping his son would take over Jiang clan for days.

Jiang Liangjin remained expressionless, glanced at him lightly: "No, I'm just being polite, saying a sentence to reassure grandfather, you handle it yourself, keep going."

After saying that, he turned and went upstairs, leaving Jiang Su stunned in place, his eager expression froze, leaving only a face of helplessness and bitter laughter.

Jiang Su shook his head helplessly, but didn't really get angry.

"... This brat!" Shen Ningmu laughed.

Now resisting like this, later the Shen family will also have given him, what to do?

Next day, weekend.

Mu Family.

Mu Youyu in the painting studio next to her room just finished a landscape painting.

She held the brush with her fingertips, picked up her phone, adjusted several angles to avoid wet paint at canvas corners, took a clear photo and sent to Jiang Liangjin, caption: 【This is the great god's ability】

Opposite instantly replied: 【Goddess is amazing】

Also added a "pay respects to the emperor" animated emoticon.

Mu Youyu saw it and laughed, just finished typing a reply, when a light pushing door sound came from behind.

She turned her eyes, eyes brightened.

At the doorway, the youth wore a short shirt, ice-blue eyes clear and cold, yet when looking at her they softened.

It's Mu Xin.

"Finished drawing?" He chuckled, strode in with his long legs, and asked.

Mu Youyu nodded, "Yeah, brother! You came in just as I finished drawing!"

Saying that, she put down her paintbrush, the corner of her mouth curling into a faint smile, "Brother, why did you come over? Weren't you supposed to have a video meeting in the room?"

She reached for the wet wipe nearby and wiped the paint off her fingertips.

Mu Xin walked to the easel, his gaze lingering on the canvas for a few seconds before turning to her, "It's done; let's see how the baby turned out."

He paused, his eyes sweeping over her paint‑stained fingertips, his brow slightly furrowed, "Next time you paint, remember to wear gloves; though the chemical content in the paint is low, long‑term contact isn't good for the skin."

"Isn't the harm not that big?" Mu Youyu said, somewhat unwilling to concede.

After all, her oil paint set costs nearly a hundred thousand.

She extended her hand, wiggling her fingertips before his eyes, "Look, it's not irritating at all, and there's no odd smell."

Mu Xin's gaze settled on her swaying fingertips, his tone softening, "No matter the formula, it still contains trace chemicals; long‑term seepage isn't good for the skin."

"Alright."

Mu Youyu stood up, "Right, brother, you came at just the right time—I'm going out to play with A Jin!"

Mu Xin, who wanted to spend more time with his sister: "……"

He calmed his emotions before saying, "Want to bring brother along?"
