Jiang Yongxian had just been beaten up by Yang Jianguo and Zhu Dong, and he was already holding back his anger. Now, when he heard Jiang Yongchang not even calling him "big brother" anymore, and speaking to him in that tone, he was even more furious.

He was immediately displeased. He straightened his back, frowned, and scolded in a fatherly tone, "Jiang Yongchang, what kind of attitude is this? I'm your older brother, is this how you talk to me?"

Hearing Jiang Yongxian's tone on the other end of the phone, Jiang Yongchang lost all interest in exchanging pleasantries with him.

Moreover, the thought of what Jiang Yongxian had done disgusted him.

When Jiang Yongxian was pursuing a political career, he said he wanted to marry He Nian in Beicheng for the sake of his future. He wasn't a chauvinist, so he felt it didn't matter whether the wedding was held at the groom's or bride's home.

But he never expected that Jiang Yongxian wanted more than just using the He family's connections to climb the social ladder.

He didn't just want to take advantage of He Nian; he wanted to completely eliminate her, make her unable to conceive, and then use the guise of adoption to bring back the child he had with another woman.

He didn't know why Jiang Yongxian could be so ruthless and calculating towards the person he shared a bed with.

However, he knew that if Jiang Yongxian could scheme against his wife in this way, he could also scheme against his own brothers and sisters in the same way; their exploitation of Jiang Yong'an was the best proof of this.

Therefore, he didn't want to have too much contact with Jiang Yongxian.

He said directly, "By blood, you are my elder brother. As for our relationship, I'm sure you know what it's like."

I left home when I was sixteen. Don't try to intimidate me like an elder brother. If you have something to say, say it. If not, I'm hanging up.

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Yongxian gripped the phone so tightly that the veins on his hand bulged.

But now is not the time to turn against Jiang Yongchang and teach him a lesson.

He suppressed his temper again and said, "Second brother, I know you've always been unhappy that Mom and Dad favor me, my younger brother, and Ranran, but neglect you."

But you've been like this since you were little..."

“Phone calls are expensive.” Jiang Yongchang interrupted Jiang Yongxian before he could give an excuse.

Jiang Yongxian hesitated for a moment, then said without further ado, "I'm in Yun County now. After the New Year, it will be the second anniversary of Dad's passing. Now that our third brother is still inside, it's just the two of us brothers left. Someone has to go and burn some paper money for Dad!"

In recent years, the government has stopped mentioning the destruction of the Four Olds, and various folk customs have gradually been restored.

In Yun County, paying respects to deceased ancestors during the Lunar New Year and Qingming Festival are both important events.

"I'll discuss it with my family," Jiang Yongchang said before hanging up the phone.

As Yu Hanfei carried the child downstairs, she heard Jiang Yongchang's words and couldn't help but ask him, "What's wrong? Who called?"

Jiang Yongchang quickly stood up, took his daughter from Yu Hanfei's arms, and held her in his own arms before saying, "It's Jiang Yongxian calling."

He told Yu Hanfei about Jiang Yongxian's request for him to go back and pay respects to Jiang Jiahua.

Yu Hanfei said with some doubt, "He didn't mention going back to pay his respects on the first anniversary last year, but now that it's the second anniversary, why did he suddenly think of it?"

When Yu Hanfei went to Yun County before, she happened to hear the elderly people in the family compound talking about some of the rules in Yun County.

In Yun County, the memorial service for the deceased places more emphasis on the first and third anniversaries.

According to tradition, on the first anniversary, not only should immediate family members attend, but those who are more particular will also invite relatives and friends to hold a small memorial service, and the same goes for the third anniversary.

However, there is no custom that the second anniversary also requires a grand memorial service.

“He wants me to come back, there must be something else going on. I’ll have someone check what’s been happening in Yun County lately,” Jiang Yongchang said calmly.

He made a phone call, explained his purpose, and the other party didn't even make him wait before telling him what had happened between Huo Beixiao, Yang Qiaoqiao, and Jiang Yiran.

After all, Yang Qiaoqiao, Huo Beixiao, and even Jiang Yiran are all celebrities in Yun County.

After the gossip about the three of them getting divorced, married, and divorced again within a few days was spread by the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau, it has now become a hot topic of conversation among the people of Yun County.

The person Jiang Yongchang called was also familiar with the Jiang family's situation, and after explaining the situation...

The other party guessed, "Jiang Yongxian asked you to come back at this time, probably because he wants you to get Jiang Yiran out of trouble."

Speaking of which, your adopted sister is really quite capable. She committed such a serious crime before, fled to Hong Kong, and actually came back with a different identity. Even the police couldn't find any flaws in her identity.

However, this time, given her status as a resident of Hong Kong and the seriousness of her crime, she probably can't escape punishment.

Jiang Yongchang didn't say much, just thanked the other party and hung up the phone.

Yu Hanfei was listening in when Jiang Yongchang made this phone call.

After hanging up the phone, she looked at Jiang Yongchang with some concern and asked, "Yongchang, are you going back?"

Jiang Yongchang pondered for a moment, "Let's go back. I'm afraid Jiang Yongxian isn't doing this for Jiang Yiran, but for Qiao Qiao, and he's scheming against her."

As his own brother, he knew Jiang Yongxian quite well.

Jiang Yongxian is selfish at heart. In a peaceful life, he can pretend to dote on his sister, which only enhances his good reputation.

But when something happens, he'll be the first to run.

Even when Jiang Jiahua and Jiang Yong'an's affair was exposed, he was able to sever ties with them immediately, let alone Jiang Yiran, who was not related to him by blood.
