Chapter 764: Jiang Haoran Who Was Tricked Back
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“You said Pei Li is looking for the account book?”
Shen Xiaoxiao was surprised to hear such news from Yan Kuan. It had been so many years. Did Yan Kuan not hand over the account book?
“Why didn’t you hand over the account book back then? Then how did the Ouyang family fall?”
Yan Kuan touched Shen Xiaoxiao’s bare shoulder and kissed it gently. After the pa.s.sion, she always liked to lie in his arms lazily.
But was there a need to be so excited when she heard about the ledger? She was sitting up. It seemed that she was not that tired.
“Be careful of catching a cold. I didn’t even give you such an important thing in the past, let alone Jiang Haoting.”
“He only took down a part of the Ouyang family’s ledger, which happened to be the Ouyang family’s. As for the other parts, of course I won’t give them to Jiang Haoting so easily. I have to have some cards up my sleeve.”
“Why do I remember that you handed Qian Weiming over to China?”
“Yes, yes, I did hand him over to China, but there is no account book, so Qian Weiming is of no use to them.”
“Why do you want the account book now? Do you want to see what his opponents have to hold against him?”
“Yes, that’s more or less what I mean. He has lost his military power, so naturally, he will tighten his grip on the political power.”
“He must be crazy. He must be crazy to think about power. Also, I received news that Jiang Haoran was tricked into coming back. Fortunately, he has settled his daughter down. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble when he comes back this time.”
Hearing that Shen Xiaoxiao was concerned about Jiang Haoran again, Yan Kuan felt extremely uncomfortable. He said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “You are showing concern for other men in front of me. You are too bold.”
Shen Xiaoxiao ignored him. She was indeed worried about Jiang Haoran, not because of any other relations.h.i.+p, but because Jiang Wendong was still with them after all.
“Jiang Haoran is in trouble? It’s not good for us.”
Would Yan Kuan not know? Of course not, but he felt that Jiang Haoran was too indecisive. An old lady could trick him back with a trick of the flesh. If he was so easy to trick, he would never be able to live a stable life.
“However, this Old Madam Jiang is also a weirdo. Why are there so many biased mothers in this world? Although Jiang Haoran is the second son and has not entered politics, he is still one of the top figures in the business world. For the Jiang family to be able to be so carefree, Jiang Haoran must have
contributed a lot.”
“Why does this Old Madam Jiang only see Jiang Haoting’s efforts and not Jiang Haoran’s? Even if she treats Jiang Haoting better than Jiang Haoran, I’m afraid.”
Yan Kuan could not answer this question because not only Xiaoxiao, but Yan Kuan himself was also the one who had been forgotten by his mother.
In this world, there were parents who would not take care of their children, and not every parent loved their children as much as jewels.
“Alright, go to bed early. As long as we treat our children equally, that will be fine.”
These words were actually very helpless, because Yan Kuan knew that there was still a hurdle waiting for Xiaoxiao, Old Master Shen and Father Shen, who had been imprisoned by the old woman all this time.
He just didn’t know if Xiaoxiao would be able to bear it when she really knew the truth one day.
Anight of silence…
Jiang Haoran didn’t expect that his good mother would actually trick him back for his Big Brother. Could it be that he couldn’t even give up on the entire Jiang Corporation?
“Second Brother, your parents are not traveling far away. I’m not dead yet, yet you abandoned me and ran overseas. Let me ask you, Dong’er and Wenwen. Where did you take them?”
Hearing Old Madam Jiang’s complaints, Jiang Haoran wanted to cry but had no tears. Abandoned her? How could he bear this crime?
Didn’t he rush back immediately when he heard that she was in trouble? What else did he want from him?
As for his daughter and son, how could he dare to leave his child in such a den of wolves?
His daughter went to a completely closed boarding school. Unless he personally contacted the school, no one would be able to take Jiang Wenwen away.
There was no need to mention Jiang Wendong. With them around, there was no danger at all.
‘What was he afraid of? Now that he was alone, he was not afraid of anyone.
“Mother, Wenwen and Dong’er both have to finish their studies, and they are not familiar with foreign languages when they first arrived, so they entered the school ahead of time.”
“Nonsense, it’s almost the New Year. Who is still in school? Moreover, is there not a single school in our country that you are interested in that insists on sending the children out?”
“If you wors.h.i.+p foreigners, I’l tell you. You have to bring the two children back for me.”
Seeing the old lady lose her temper, Jiang Haoran was already used to it. He said coldly, “There’s nothing we can do about it. The Jiang family doesn’t have the final say in foreign countries. Moreover, the children’s schools are all closed boarding schools, and they are extremely strict. Besides, foreigners
don’t celebrate the New Year.”
“Mother, you also know that Wenwen almost made a fortune in the past. It’s good for her to be disciplined.”
Hearing Second Brother mention the matter of Jiang Wenwen drugging others, Old Madam Jiang didn’t say anything else. However, her granddaughter was still young, so he could just send her away. However, Jiang Wendong was already a young man who could hold up the fort. How could he just leave
like that?
Moreover, Jiang Wendong’s performance was the best among the three generations. As long as he was nurtured, there was no need to worry about not having a good development.
“Wenwen is a girl, so I won’t discipline her. But Wendong, he’s the grandson of our Jiang family. How could he be sent away by you?”
“Your uncle’s child is only 10 years old. Not to mention his young age, you also know that he has congenital heart disease. It is hard to say if he can handle it. Fourth Brother’s kid isn’t up to par. There is also Jiang Wenye. Although he is the eldest son’s direct son, that kid was thrown into the army by your
eldest brother after graduation. He is our family’s number one person in the army, and he is also someone who has high hopes.”
“What your eldest brother means is to focus on grooming Wendong. It’s also possible for him to take over your eldest brother’s position in the future.”
With such a big bait, if it was Fourth Brother, he might have already nodded and agreed to bring the child back without stopping.
But Jiang Haoran saw it too clearly. First of all, the Jiang family didn’t have the final say on the successor of China. Second, this eldest brother would never groom his child to be the successor. Even if Jiang Haoran was the one who groomed the fourth family, it would never be Wendong’s turn.
But it was the third family’s Jiang Wenye who was more likely.
So, what the old lady said was nothing more than to keep him here. He didn’t care at all, and his child even less so.
“Wendong did not receive much education since he was young, so he cannot bear such a heavy burden. He cannot even be compared to the fourth family’s Wenkai, so I appreciate Big Brother’s good intentions. It’s better to let the child study now.”
Old Madam Jiang looked at this Second Brother’s stubborn appearance and was extremely angry. She wanted to use her status as an old lady to pressure him, but she knew that this Second Brother would not fall for this trick, so she thought about it and felt somewhat helpless. Then, she said ina
somewhat desolate manner:
“Second Brother, I’m afraid that your eldest brother is not doing well. He has an old age illness, and his body won’t be able to hold on much longer…”
