Zhou Rongli's perspective was simply on a different level compared to that of the Zhou family, and she had no time to argue with them. When Jiang Chen learned about the grievances between his godmother Zhou Rongli and the Zhou family, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of empathy. It was striking how similar his godmother was to his biological mother; both were the youngest daughters in their families and faced opposition from their families for insisting on their marriages. The difference was that his biological mother had passed away early, while his godmother was still alive. After his mother's death, god-grandfather seemed to have never forgiven her. Now, Zhou Rongli's father, whom Jiang Chen also referred to as god-grandfather, appeared to hold onto that grudge as well.
As Zhou Rongli prepared to return to her family home, Jiang Chen had to accompany her. Thinking of Yue Hui being in Hangcheng, he decided to call her on the way there to wish her a happy New Year. It had been over two years since he last heard from her, so she was pleasantly surprised to receive his call. Upon learning that Jiang Chen was visiting the Zhou family for New Year's greetings, Yue Hui immediately expressed her intention to join him. Although the Zhou family couldn't compare to the Yue Family, they were still well-regarded in Hangcheng, and since it was Jiang Chen's godmother's family, Yue Hui felt it was appropriate to pay a visit. Of course, her true motive was simply to see Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen understood Yue Hui's intentions; it had been over two years since they last met, so he welcomed the idea of seeing her again. Therefore, when Yue Hui suggested she would also go to the Zhou family, he did not object.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, at the Zhou family's villa by West Lake in Hangcheng, Zhou Rongli's older brothers had taken their families to their wives' family homes; they were unwilling to meet with Zhou Rongli. For two years, whenever Zhou Rongli returned to the Zhou family, she had not seen her brothers. However, her older sisters, Zhou Duanmei and Zhou Lianhua, were relatively polite towards Zhou Rongli's family now. They even felt a sense of fear towards Jiang Chen, their god-nephew.
They had learned that Hu Sanxiong's son was killed by this young man named Jiang Chen. Hu Sanxiong was known as an Underground Boss in Hangcheng, and the Zhou family held him in great respect. The fact that Jiang Chen had killed his son without facing any consequences indicated that his strength must be extraordinary.
Zhou Duanmei and Zhou Lianhua informed their brothers about this matter, but they still refused to lower their pride and reconcile with Zhou Rongli's family. They believed that regardless of how powerful Jiang Chen might be, he had made many enemies. Although Hu Sanxiong did not dare act recklessly now after losing his son, he surely harbored deep resentment; they felt that one day when Jiang Chen found himself in trouble, Hu Sanxiong would seek revenge. Thus, they believed that Zhou Rongli's household was unstable and would eventually collapse.
While there was some truth in what the brothers said, Zhou Duanmei and Zhou Lianhua were just women who valued emotions more highly; they had long since let go of their grievances with their sister Zhou Rongli. Since it was the second day of the New Year and their sister's family would be visiting, they got up early that morning to buy groceries and prepare for their arrival.
When Jiang Chen's family arrived, both Zhou Duanmei and Zhou Lianhua were waiting at the door along with Jiang Chen's god-grandmother. As for Jiang Chen's god-grandfather, he remained shut up in his study as usual; he had previously insisted that he did not recognize Zhou Rongli's family and now found himself in an awkward position where he could not come out.
"Hello, Grandma!" Jiang Chen greeted as he approached with Jiang Lu. After greeting her, Jiang Lu quickly took hold of god-grandmother ’s arm affectionately.
