"Ah? It's you!" Master Wan immediately released Lin Jingzhu's hand and quickly ran away with Bing.
What happened? The onlookers who were ready to watch the show were confused: this young scholar-looking man was nowhere near as imposing as the previous one. Why did Master Wan and his bodyguard run away?
"Jiang Jun, you're here!" Lin Jingzhu exclaimed in surprise, wanting to throw herself into his arms.
However, Jiang Jun did not welcome her embrace; he simply said lightly, "Let's go! Don't come to places like this anymore!"
Lin Jingzhu obediently followed Jiang Jun out of the bar. An ambulance arrived and took Gao Wenbin away. As for the Wan family's feud, he decided to wait until his grandfather's birthday celebration was over before seeking revenge.
"Thank you, Jiang Jun! Why are you in the bar tonight? Where are you taking me now?"
"I just passed by and heard some commotion inside, so I came in to take a look. Now let's all head back to our places!"
"Ah? Can't we stay alone for a little while longer?"
"I have things to do tonight. You should rest early!"
Lin Jingzhu's earlier excitement faded away. Jiang Jun paid her no mind and walked off towards his own place, quickly disappearing from sight.
Lin Jingzhu realized that her relationship with Jiang Jun was beyond repair; it was already good enough that he didn't make things difficult for her. Fortunately, her father had left her quite a bit of money, so Lin Jingzhu ultimately decided to leave Ningzhou and start a new life in another city.
The patriarch of the Qingcheng Jiang Family, Jiang Jingsheng, was celebrating his seventieth birthday.
The Jiang family residence was filled with festive cheer, with large red characters for longevity pasted on various doors and windows. The door frames were adorned with couplets wishing "Fortune as vast as the East Sea, Longevity as enduring as the South Mountain."
At this moment, Jiang Jingsheng and his wife Hu Yina were seated in the main hall, welcoming relatives who had come for the birthday celebration.
The couple had three daughters but no sons. Their youngest daughter had fallen in love with Yang Zhao since childhood, leading them to reluctantly agree to let Yang Zhao marry into the Jiang family since they had no sons. Yang Zhao's family was poor, so he had no choice but to accept.
However, their youngest daughter passed away after giving birth to Jiang Jun, which deeply saddened Jiang Jingsheng and his wife. They had never liked Yang Zhao due to his family's poverty; they only allowed him to marry into their family because of their daughter's insistence. After their daughter's death, their attitude towards Yang Zhao worsened.
To prove himself and avoid further ridicule, Yang Zhao opened a clothing company in Ningzhou City. After several years of hard work, the business gradually grew in scale.
The eldest and second daughters both married wealthy families in Qingcheng and each had a son and a daughter, making Jiang Jingsheng and his wife very happy. Their two nieces were studying at university in the capital city. Their two grandsons were about the same age as Jiang Jun and were already working, both holding positions within the family business.
Before marrying Hu Yina, Jiang Jingsheng had a son with another woman named Jiang Guangming. Initially, the Jiang family did not acknowledge him because he was an illegitimate child. However, after Jiang Jingsheng took control of the family and since Hu Yina did not bear any sons either, they eventually recognized Jiang Guangming as part of the family.
As he aged, when considering successors for the family's business, Jiang Jingsheng favored Jiang Guangming. This was because regardless of which woman he had children with, Jiang Guangming was considered his flesh and blood; moreover, he had given him a good grandson named Jiang Liang.
Yang Zhao was ultimately an outsider. Although Jiang Jun had always been exceptional since childhood, her daughter had passed away early. Despite sharing the surname Jiang, Jiang Jun was, at her core, a member of the Yang family. This made Jiang Jingsheng lean towards Jiang Guangming in his heart.
The two daughters and their husbands noticed the old man's thoughts, so they kept a distance from Yang Zhao and Jiang Jun. Therefore, they were not saddened by Yang Zhao's death and were indifferent to Jiang Jun's situation.
Today was the old man's birthday, and the Jiang family appeared to be in high spirits. However, Jiang Jingsheng felt somewhat gloomy inside. This gloom stemmed from Jiang Liang's suicide. He had high hopes for his grandson; how could he have jumped? With his skills, even jumping from the sixth floor shouldn't have resulted in death!
Jiang Jingsheng was not fully aware of the circumstances surrounding his grandson Jiang Liang's death, so this time he planned to ask Jiang Guangming for clarification.
The eldest daughter and her husband arrived first, followed by the second daughter and her husband. The eldest daughter brought a gift of a Millennium Ginseng, said to be worth over ten thousand yuan. The second daughter brought a box of blood swallow's nest, also valued at over ten thousand yuan.
At that moment, Jiang Guangming arrived with his wife Lin Ping. Lin Ping had been staying at her family home in Qingcheng and did not accompany Jiang Guangming to Ningzhou. The loss of their son had greatly affected her, and she had been in mourning lately. Today, on the old man's birthday, she had to force a smile to attend the Birthday Celebration.
"Brother Ming, Sister-in-law, you’re here! What gifts did you bring? Oh, a necklace! A jade necklace, how beautiful! It must be very expensive!" The daughters and sons-in-law rushed over.
"Hehe, it's just average, only 8,888 yuan! Sister and brother-in-law, let's first pay our respects to Mom and Dad; we’ll come back to chat with you later!"
The younger generation also greeted their uncle and aunt. Jiang Guangming and Lin Ping nodded casually in response before hurrying over to their father and aunt.
"Dad, today is your birthday; I wish you happiness as vast as the East Sea and longevity as enduring as the South Mountain! Here’s our gift!" Jiang Guangming presented a jade necklace.
Jiang Guangming and Lin Ping then greeted Hu Yina!
"Good, good!" Old Master Jiang accepted the necklace and casually handed it to Hu Yina. Upon seeing the necklace, Hu Yina couldn't help but brighten up!
"This is a great purchase. Guangming, Lin Ping, you really are thoughtful!" Hu Yina praised them. Jewelry like this was something Jiang Jingsheng would never wear. Thus, today’s necklace effectively became a gift for herself. Hu Yina felt quite pleased.
As for Lin Ping's sorrow, Hu Yina couldn't care less! After all, Jiang Liang had no blood relation to her.
Of course, Jiang Jingsheng noticed the sorrowful expression on Lin Ping, knowing it was due to Jiang Liang's situation.
"Let's go to the inner room!"
Jiang Guangming and Lin Ping followed the old man into the inner room. Once the door closed, Lin Ping burst into tears.
"Dad, you have to take charge for us. Jiang Liang was harmed by Jiang Jun, Guangming has already told me!"
"What? Jiang Jun harmed him? What exactly happened? Guangming, tell me!"
Jiang Guangming then recounted how Jiang Jun manipulated the situation with Taiping Apparel Company, how Jiang Liang tried to force him to back off but ended up getting injured by Jiang Jun, how employees from Taiping Apparel Company went to the hospital, and how Jiang Liang, in an attempt to escape, jumped from the building.
"How strange! Where did Jiang Jun get such ability?" Even though it was his own son speaking, the old man found it hard to believe. The events described seemed utterly absurd to him!
Indeed! How did Jiang Jun acquire his abilities? This is something that Jiang Guangming finds utterly perplexing. After all, Jiang Jun is not a stranger who suddenly appeared; he is someone everyone has watched grow up. The Jiang family is very familiar with his circumstances and upbringing.
