Chapter 209

Waiting for Jiang Yun to vanish completely from the courtyard, Jiang Ji lowered his gaze to the four‑minute recording shown on the screen, his fingertip twitched, he saved it, and gave a contemptuous smile.

He

The last time, that car accident at the hospital left him lying in bed for about half a month.

Business Competition, Jiang Liangjin

Jiang Ji, Grandfather Jiang

Grandfather

Hmph, still wanting to harm him, daring to use him as a pawn again and again!

Grandfather

Mu Youyu, Jiang Liangjin, Gu Xingnan, Yu Ci, Jiang Siqian

Mu Youyu, Jiang Liangjin

Jiang Ji had long since disappeared; presumably he didn't wait for her and left on his own.

Jiang Siqian, cousin, Mu Youyu, Gu Xingnan, Yu Ci

Mu Youyu

It's been a while since the start of this semester; the two haven't even spoken at school, and the total number of times they've met isn't even two, after all they're not in the same grade and the teaching buildings are far apart.

She tugged at the corner of her mouth, putting on a standard fake smile: "Si Qian, what a coincidence."

Jiang Liangjin gave a faint nod, with no extra expression, obviously not intending to chat more with her.

Gu Xingnan, Yu Ci

Jiang Si Qian tightened her grip on the paper bag, her gaze sweeping over the few people before finally landing on Mu Youyu, as if she had finally found someone to talk to, she asked softly: "You... are you going to eat?"

To be honest, she quite liked Mu Youyu, thinking that Elder Sister Mu was beautiful and had an aura, and spoke gently, unlike those affected girls at school.

Mu Youyu, Jiang Liangjin

Yu Ci was the first to respond, his tone lazy: "Otherwise? Are we supposed to eat air?"

He had been polite to this person before, but after the car accident, he looked down on the Jiang Huan family.

Jiang Si Qian choked a bit, then said nothing more, just lowered her head, giving an Awkwardness, uneasy look.

Jiang Liangjin had little patience for such a situation of making small talk; he merely gave her a faint glance, was about to tell her to do as she pleased, when his phone vibrated.

Grandfather

Ah Jin, Old Master Jiang

On the other end, not knowing what was said, Jiang Liangjin occasionally responded with a sound, his Expression unchanged.

After hanging up, he lowered his head to look at Mu Youyu beside him, his tone gentle: "Grandfather wants me to go to the old residence, together?"

Mu Youyu

She also told her brother that she would have a meal with Jiang Liangjin.

Jiang Si Qian stood to the side; hearing this, her eyes lit up again, and she quickly said: "Then I'll come with you."

She, Grandfather Jiang, Mu Youyu, and cousin Jiang Liangjin

Jiang Liangjin, Mu Youyu

Mu Youyu had no objection, merely nodding her head, which counted as consent.

It's just a few more people; it's no big deal.

Gu Xingnan, Yu Ci

Mu Youyu, Jiang Liangjin, Yu Ci

Jiang Liangjin's car was parked at the roadside, the driver already waiting by the car door.

Jiang Liangjin, Mu Youyu

Jiang Si Qian carefully sat down at a spot a little distance from the two, not daring to speak much the whole time.

The car drove smoothly toward the old residence, with Mu Youyu leaning her head on Jiang Liangjin's shoulder while scrolling on her phone.

Mu Youyu, Jiang Liangjin, the Business Competition, and the Art Competition

Jiang Liangjin lowered his gaze to glance at the screen, "Hmm, let's take a look."

Jiang Siqian

Cousin Jiang Liangjin, Mu Youyu

The Jiang family's old residence, the Jiang family

Jiang Liangjin got out of the car first, went to the other side, and opened the car door for Mu Youyu.

Jiang Siqian

Mu Youyu had just followed Jiang Liangjin across the threshold when she sensed that the atmosphere was off.

In the main hall, Old Master Jiang sat in the chief seat with a grim face, the aura around him extremely low pressure; beside him stood Jiang Ji, head lowered and silent.

The atmosphere was heavily oppressive; even the servants standing nearby kept their heads down, not daring to make a sound.

Jiang Huan, Cheng Siqing

The latter stood to the side, his face showing just the right amount of worry, his Expression revealing no abnormality at all.

Only Jiang Yun stood there with her neck stiff, full of resentment, until she saw Jiang Liangjin, and that resentment instantly turned into hatred.

"Grandfather." Jiang Liangjin spoke first, his tone flat, revealing no emotion.

Mu Youyu, Grandfather Jiang

Jiang Ye Ye's expression eased a little, he waved at the two, and his tone softened a bit: "A Yu also came, huh? Quickly sit down, A Jin also sit."

The two had just sat down in the chairs beside them when Jiang Ye Ye pressed the play button on his phone.

A recording played clearly, exactly the words Jiang Yun had said when he was trying to win over Jiang Ji in the courtyard.

After the recording finished playing completely, Jiang Ye Ye slammed the table: "Good, good, a family of one heart! I think you're tired of living, daring to have designs on the Business Competition!"

He picked up the phone on the table and slammed it down at Jiang Huan's feet, "Listen, listen to the nonsense you're saying? I think you've completely forgotten your own surname!"

The phone fell to the ground, the screen shattered instantly but it still worked, and from inside came Jiang Yun's gloomy voice in fits and starts: "Just help me pass along a message; the rest I'll take care of……"

Jiang Huan stared at the phone on the ground, then suddenly looked over at Jiang Ji, who stood beside him with downcast eyes, his eyes filled with disbelief and violent rage.

This idiot, how did he get schemed by that brat Jiang Ji? And he even shoved the recording right in front of the old man……

The plan hadn't even been finalized before it was given away!
