Chapter 205: 154 Jiang Family’s Fourth Son: Born Rebellious (4 Updates)

After the incident with Jiang Shuyan spread through Beijing, everyone sighed and understood that something big was likely to happen soon in the Jiang Family.

When Tang Wan arrived at the hospital, the old man was eating a dragon fruit and was still watching “Bright Sword,” seemingly oblivious to the commotion outside.

And at the Jiang Family,

Jiang Shuyan, who had just returned from the police station, was now kneeling in the living room. Jiang Zhaolin sat on the sofa, his face dark with anger, while the woman seated beside him shrank back timidly, too scared to speak up.

“At the previous auction, you played clever by urging Zhuang Rao to bully Tang Wan, but you failed and only brought disgrace upon yourself. And you still dare to repeat your mistakes? Who gave you such guts!” Jiang Zhaolin berated her loudly, startling her into shrinking back.

“Father, I was only trying to do what’s best for you, wasn’t I?” After her trip to the police station, she no longer held a trace of arrogance.

“Do what’s best for me? Tell me, how is any of this in my interest?”

“Don’t you resent always being under your eldest brother’s thumb? Grandma cares a lot about the Tang Family, and if this incident had succeeded and turned the Tangs against us, she would have found out it was my second cousin who did it. If they end up in turmoil, with internal strife and external threats, couldn’t we take advantage…”

“Nonsense!” Jiang Zhaolin was so angry he threw his teacup at her. “Do you still think you’re clever now?”

“Your two cousins—what kind of people are they? After all these years, you still don’t know them? I’ve warned you repeatedly not to provoke them, and yet you’ve ignored all my advice?”

“Father!” Jiang Shuyan was so furious her teeth clenched. “I had no idea Zhuang Rao and that journalist would…”

“Idiot!” Jiang Zhaolin’s forehead throbbed with veins. “So full of yourself! Look where it’s gotten you now, ruining our relations completely.”

Truth be told, their relationship had always been lukewarm, merely maintained on the surface. But now, with it completely soured, the consequences were entirely different…

“Isn’t this outcome rather good? You’ll no longer need to maintain a façade or negotiate with them…” A man walked down from upstairs. “Whatever you want, just take it. No need to hide or hold back anymore.”

“How dare you talk such nonsense!” Jiang Zhaolin jumped up from the sofa in anger.
