Chapter 208: Family Is Still Family
"No, I know what kind of temperament my brother has." Jian Yixin was very certain.
Encouraged by her daughter, Lady Jian stopped crying and immediately called her husband, who had just slammed the door and left, to tell him her daughter's idea.
Her husband returned very quickly.
Upon returning, the family of three used the shortest possible time to raise funds through various channels, and the whole family set off for the United States!
Office of the Chairman of Tianma Group.
The Secretary entered to report: "Chairman, someone from Jiangzhou has come again. Will you see them?"
Originally, she did not want to come in and report, as there was currently a sense of resistance within Tianma Group toward people coming from Jiangzhou, but since the visitor claimed to be the Chairman's family, she could not help but report it.
"Who is here?"
Jian Yining had originally thought it was Sheng Zerong or Yun Zhehao.
Although they hadn't met in these years, they had always been in contact, and it was impossible for the things happening here to have left no trace of news in Jiangzhou.
But regardless, Sheng Hanyu was still closer to them; what could they do by coming at a time like this?
Act as lobbyists for Sheng Hanyu?
He hesitated, not knowing whether it was better to see them or not.
"A Ning, A Ning..."
Hearing the commotion outside, Jian Yining suddenly felt his eyes fill with tears. He stood up from his chair abruptly and asked the Secretary urgently: "What kind of people have come outside?"
This voice was too familiar, familiar and dear.
It was just that for these few years, it could only ring in his dreams. Jian Yining subconsciously wanted to rush out, but fearing he had heard wrong, he asked the Secretary instead.
The Secretary said: "An elderly couple and a young woman. That woman looks quite like you."
She was now glad that she hadn't driven that family of three away as scammers just now.
Since the Secretary joined the company, gossip had been rampant that the Chairman was an orphan who had built such a large group company entirely through his own ability without any family support.
Therefore, she didn't believe the Jian family of three when they said they were the Chairman's family, but because they looked so much alike, she wasn't sure what was going on, so she came to ask.
Seeing the Chairman's current appearance, it seemed the gossip circulating in the company was inaccurate. She immediately said: "I will invite them in."
"Come back."
The Secretary reached the door but was called back by Jian Yining.
He smoothed his hair, which was not messy, straightened his clothes, and asked the Secretary: "Do I look haggard?" Not having seen his family for five years, he was very nervous; he wanted to see them yet was afraid to, his mood particularly complex.
"Not haggard, you look extremely handsome!" the Secretary said.
"Arrange a hotel... no, you go to my house and tidy up, get the room ready... no, have the servant tidy it!"
Before Jian Yining could finish making arrangements, Lady Jian could no longer wait outside and found her way to the office.
"A Ning, my Ning'er!"
"Mom—"
Mother and son had not seen each other for five years; tears filled their eyes, and both were incredibly moved.
"My son, you have suffered..." *Sob, sob, sob... *
Lady Jian went over and hugged her son, unable to stop crying.
The Secretary tactfully exited the office and politely invited Jian Xiansheng and Jian Yixin over, so the family of four could reunite.
Lady Jian cried for a long time.
She turned all the longing of these five years into tears. After finally stopping her sobs, she took the bag from her daughter's hand and pulled out bank cards, property deeds, mortgage documents, and equity papers one by one... finally dumping a pile of jewelry and diamonds out of the bag!
"Mom, what is the meaning of this?" Jian Yining didn't react for a moment.
Jian Xiansheng, who hadn't spoken since entering, said: "This is all the money in the family and everything that can be converted into money, sent to you to solve the crisis."
"No, I don't want it!"
Jian Yining hurriedly stuffed the things back into the bag, his throat feeling as if it were blocked by cotton, unable to spit it out or swallow it.
Now he felt that he had been a jerk five years ago, unilaterally severing family ties with his parents and sister because he couldn't accept the situation due to his feelings.
In his parents' hearts, children were equally important; family affection was the most precious thing.
Five years ago, his mother was like this toward his sister, and five years later, they were the same toward him!
Jian Yining didn't want the money because the crisis had already been resolved; it was no longer needed.
But the Jian family didn't know; they only thought A Ning was still angry about what happened five years ago and refused to accept their help.
Jian Fu said: "If you don't want it, I'll throw it all on the street. Anyway, since we sent it over, we didn't intend to take it back."
Lady Jian explained for her husband: "A Ning, don't be troubled. Take the money; we have no conditions, and we don't expect you to restore relations with us... We will leave immediately, the flight is tonight... We'll go now!"
Jian Yixin just cried; all of this was her fault. If it weren't for her, her brother and parents wouldn't have ended up like this.
Seeing his parents misunderstand, Jian Yining immediately explained that the crisis had already been resolved.
Sheng Hanyu was just trying to scare him and didn't really want to bankrupt him.
His parents didn't believe him, so there was no choice but to call Sheng Hanyu over for the reunion lunch!
When he made the call, he had already made it clear that Jian Yixin would also be there, telling him not to hide and that he must come.
Sheng Hanyu came; he didn't hide, nor did he take the opportunity to set conditions.
At the dinner table, as the few of them met, their moods were all very complex!
It was originally a matter between a few young people, but now that the elders were involved, Sheng Hanyu felt very embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Uncle. I was just joking with A Ning; I didn't expect to alarm you as well," Sheng Hanyu apologized.
Because of what happened five years ago, he had always held a grudge against Lady Jian. Although he hadn't taken revenge, he couldn't act as if nothing had happened, so he didn't speak to her.
He also didn't speak to Jian Yixin.
Seeing Sheng Hanyu, Jian Yixin's heart still skipped a beat with excitement!
"Hanyu, long time no see. I didn't expect we would meet here," Jian Yixin greeted him first.
"Hehe..."
He chuckled: "Indeed, I didn't expect it either."
Then there were no more words, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.
Lady Jian broke the deadlock and took the initiative to apologize to Sheng Hanyu: "Hanyu, about what happened five years ago..."
Sheng Hanyu interrupted: "Today is a day for your family to reunite; let's talk about something happy instead. I have things to do, so I'll be taking my leave."
His purpose for coming had already been achieved, and staying any longer would be pointless.
He hadn't sought revenge on Lady Jian five years ago, and an apology five years later had no meaning; it was unnecessary.
"I'll go see him out."
Jian Yining chased after him: "Hanyu Ge, thank you for today."
If he hadn't suddenly acted on a whim to stir up these events, Jian Yining wouldn't have known when he would have reconciled with his family.
There was also some chaos in the company's personnel; it was the perfect opportunity to see clearly who was genuinely working for the company, who was just slacking off, and who was a fence-sitter!
"No need to thank me."
After saying this, he walked toward the exit, stopped after two steps, and looked back: "If you really want to thank me, give me the address."
He was referring to the Chairman of the company that was working closely with Tianma; that person was very mysterious, and despite Sheng Hanyu's immense influence, he hadn't been able to uncover a single bit of information.
Only Jian Yining knew that person's details; if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have kept his eyes on Jian Yining.
Jian Yining shook his head: "You don't need to know the address. He's coming over in two days, and I'll arrange for everyone to meet, though I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
"Thank you." This time it was Sheng Hanyu's turn to offer thanks.
