Chapter 241: Old Debts
"Weren't you quite sensible just now, saying you were afraid we'd make things difficult for you and that you'd go out and find a job on your own? Why are you acting all high and mighty now, wanting to become a security guard at Jiang's?"
They retreat in order to advance, always with wide, innocent eyes, seemingly empty-headed, but in reality, they are shrewd and cunning.
Chen Lina said angrily, "Jiang Qianhui, don't go too far. You arranged for my son, your own cousin, to be a security guard, and he complied. What more do you want?"
Obedience? How ridiculous.
Jiang Qianhui said with a cold look in her eyes, "Who said I sent him to work as a security guard at Jiang's? What I meant was that if he went to Jiang's, the most he could do would be a security guard. And I just said that if he doesn't like it, he should look for something else. Didn't you hear me?"
They shamelessly tried to get into the Jiang family, but sorry, there's no door or window.
Jiang Zhengguo, not wanting the conflict to escalate further, stopped Jiang Qianhui and said loudly, "Qianhui, you used to dote on your cousin the most. Take your mother to the charity gala first. It won't be good to be late. You two go first."
After Jiang Zhengguo finished speaking, he whispered to Jiang Qianhui, "Suihui, I'm asking you for a favor. You and your mother go to the charity gala first. I'll handle things here, okay?"
Jiang Qianhui didn't want to back down either, but seeing the troubled look on her father's face, she said to Yang Huirong, "Mom, the charity gala is about to start, let's go first."
Although Yang Huirong was unwilling, seeing that Jiang Zhengguo looked unwell, they left first.
Once they left, the old lady and Chen Lina became even more unrestrained.
"Brother, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you've been too indulgent towards your sister-in-law and Jiang Qianhui. Where is the demeanor of the head of the family?"
The old lady's hand, gripping her cane, was also bulging with veins. She said angrily, "Zhengguo, my eldest son, look at your own status in this family! Your younger brother may not be as good at making money as you, but he's the one who calls the shots in his family. He's a real man, the head of the household."
Look at yourself! You earned all the money, yet you act like a spineless coward, afraid to say a word. You don't even dare to defend your own mother and nephew, letting them swagger around. You've completely lost your mind!
Chen Lina and the old lady said some very harsh things, and Jiang Zhengguo was also very angry, but after all, they were family, and he didn't want to ruin the relationship.
"Mom, Huirong and Suisui are both very good. It's fine if you say bad things about me, but don't talk about them."
Jiang Zhengguo tried his best to protect his wife and daughter, but it was all in vain.
"I told you to divorce Yang Huirong and marry Jiang Che's mother back then, but you wouldn't. Look at the state you've become now, you're such a coward."
"Mom, please don't bring this up again! It's simply impossible."
Jiang Zhengguo's attitude suddenly became irritable, and he firmly denied the absurd statement.
Because of this incident, he has been branded with shame for half his life. What kind of mess will they make of him?
……
On the way, Yang Huirong said to Jiang Qianhui unwillingly, "Suihui, just you wait and see. Your father will definitely arrange for Jiang Di to work in the Jiang Group, and he won't let him be a security guard. The old lady cherishes Jiang Di so much, how could she bear to let her precious grandson work as a security guard in our Jiang Group? Jiang Di, Di, just look at this name, and you can tell what they are thinking."
Because she couldn't give birth to a son, when Chen Lina gave birth to a son, the old lady named him Jiang Di.
She should always remember that because she didn't give birth to a son, their branch of the family is finished, and the second branch will be the legitimate one from now on.
"Mom, I will definitely protect our family."
Jiang Qianhui knew that her mother had suffered a lot of injustice. Because she wasn't a son, her grandmother had never given her mother a kind look since she was little, always making sarcastic remarks. But her mother didn't pass on that attitude to her; instead, she hoped that she would become the most wonderful princess in the world.
Now that she's grown up, she won't let her grandmother or aunt use the fact that she didn't give birth to a son to attack her mother.
Jiang Di shouldn't even think about getting a single bit of their family's property.
“Sui Sui, Mom doesn’t want to be a bad person either. Mom wants to be good to your grandma. When we got married, I really treated her like my own mother. But now when I think about it, I realize how ridiculous I was.”
Jiang Qianhui held her mother's hand. How could she not know? In her previous life, she had tried her best to please Xie Qingyi, but what did she get in return?
"It's so hard to find a good mother-in-law."
Yang Huirong looked at Jiang Qianhui and remembered what Xie Qingyi had said. Her daughter was divorced, and even though Gu Xunjing liked her daughter very much, his mother would not agree. She thought that if her daughter got together with Gu Xunjing in the future, she would be bullied by his mother again.
Just thinking about it broke her heart. She held Jiang Qianhui's hand and said, "Suihui, Mom won't force you to be with anyone anymore. Actually, it's fine to stay with your parents even if you don't get married."
Jiang Qianhui knew how helpless and disappointed her mother must have felt to say those words.
All she wants now is for the Jiang family to be better, to become her mother's pride, and to prevent anyone from bullying her.
"Mom, don't worry. I will make you and Dad proud, and our Jiang family will get better and better."
Yang Huirong listened with a relieved smile, sometimes feeling like she was a madwoman.
Who would want to turn themselves into a madman? It's just that they can't untangle the knots in their own hearts.
……
Charity Gala
Jiang Qianhui attended this charity gala because a unique item will be auctioned at the event.
This item was of great use to her.
The charity auction was a gathering of celebrities, all of whom were prominent figures.
Even among the many meticulously dressed socialites, Jiang Qianhui still stands out as the most beautiful.
She wore a silver strapless long dress with a fishtail hem that accentuated her curves and exuded sophistication and elegance. Combined with her exquisite makeup, her noble beauty was captivating.
"That's Jiang Qianhui? She seems even more beautiful after the divorce."
Jiang Qianhui heard others praising her, but she didn't feel happy; in fact, she thought she was ridiculous.
Because of Zhan Yanxun, she used to dress old-fashioned and conservative, like an ancient imperial concubine.
Now that she's kicked him out, she can finally enjoy the freedom to dress as she pleases.
She can wear any brightly colored clothes, any style of clothes.
"That's Jiang Qianhui. Zhan Yanxun cheated on her with his female secretary, and she divorced him directly. She's really got guts. She's different from most timid women."
"I admire her for that. She didn't force herself because of her status or position."
Hsieh Ching-yi and Yen Lan also attended the dinner.
On their way here, they were still discussing whether Jiang Qianhui would attend the charity gala.
At the time, she disdainfully said that Jiang Qianhui had divorced her son and should stay at home to avoid making a fool of herself. However, Jiang Qianhui not only appeared, but was also dressed up and looked radiant, attracting everyone's attention at the banquet.
Hsieh Ching-yi said disdainfully, "She's already a divorced woman, yet she's still so ostentatious. She's shameless."
