Chapter 111: Money Worship and the Wheelchair Boss 27
Jiang Chen opened a small company and he urgently needed to use this celebrity gathering to find opportunities and discuss cooperation.
There was no way. Since he lost his status as Jiang Tingxu's adopted son, Jiang Chen's social status plummeted.
His seven older brothers had already divided up the family business, leaving him no room at all.
Even when he went out to start his own business, he was still looked down upon.
Those who used to flatter and curry favor with him are now unwilling to even answer his calls, let alone cooperate with him.
But Jiang Chen had studied under Jiang Tingxu for so many years after all, and he persevered and started that small company, which is now making some profit.
There were many famous people in elegant clothes.
Jiang Chen smiled and walked towards his old friend Zhou Mingkun with a glass of wine.
"Mingkun, long time no see..."
Zhou Mingkun glanced at him, then turned his gaze away and continued talking to the person in front of him.
It's as if you don't know him.
Jiang Chen stopped his raised hand in mid-air, his smile awkward.
Instead, a group of playboys who were sitting nearby chatting together began to make sarcastic remarks about Jiang Chen.
"Oh, isn't this Chiang's successor?"
"What kind of heir is this? The heir to that small company with seven presidents?"
"Hahahaha, you are so embarrassed."
Jiang Chen clenched his fists, but was unable to refute.
When he was at his most glorious, those who mocked him were hardly even qualified to lick the soles of his shoes.
But now, he couldn't offend them easily.
His company has just started and cannot withstand the retaliation of these people.
Seeing that Jiang Chen remained silent, these young masters felt bored.
One of them even came over with red wine and poured it directly on him.
"My hand slipped, Mr. Jiang." The rich young man smiled wickedly.
The red wine dripped down Jiang Chen's shirt, making a mess.
The people around him looked at him as if they were watching a show.
Finally, Uncle Chen came to the rescue.
"Today is the young master's one-year-old birthday banquet. Anyone who wants to cause trouble please leave." Uncle Chen said bluntly.
The group of rich young men left in embarrassment.
Uncle Chen looked at Jiang Chen deeply and took him to the guest room to change into clean clothes.
Jiang Chen was a little afraid to look directly at Uncle Chen and thanked him in a low voice.
Uncle Chen didn't mean well, but Jiang Chen was always the one who went out of the Jiang family's house. If someone humiliated him in the Jiang house, it would somewhat affect the master's reputation.
"You don't have to thank me." Uncle Chen said, "You owe the gentleman a thank you."
Jiang Chen didn't understand.
Uncle Chen said, "You always resented being adopted by Mr. Chen, which caused you to be separated from your biological parents when you were young. But Mr. Chen never forced your family to adopt you."
"When you were six years old, you came to the teacher and kept crying and wanted to go home. The teacher didn't want to force you, so he sent someone to send you home."
Jiang Chen lowered his head: "I remember."
When he returned home, his parents said to him, "Ah Chen, Mr. Jiang has warned us that if you don't act as a good successor, he will leave our family with nowhere to go."
He was extremely scared, but for the sake of his parents and brother, he chose to return to the Jiang family and be an obedient puppet.
His love and attachment to his parents have become his belief and support over the years.
But Uncle Chen's next words destroyed his faith.
"The master sent you home and chose a new heir. But a few days later, your parents came to the master's house and knelt before him, asking him to keep you and raise you."
Jiang Chen's eyes widened in disbelief.
Uncle Chen shook his head and sighed: "The teacher treated you so strictly because he sincerely wanted to hand over the Jiang family to you. He was giving it to you. And your parents indulged you in every way because they were waiting for you to take over the Jiang family and asked you for it."
"Master Jiang, you have not been able to see this clearly for so many years. This is what disappoints me the most."
Jiang Tingxu has always been very patient with Jiang Chen.
He was waiting for Jiang Chen to grow up, even though many of his ideas were too naive and absurd.
He also allowed Jiang Chen to call him "Mr. Jiang" instead of "Father" because he understood the importance of biological parents to their children.
But all he got in return for this long wait was Jiang Chen's alienation and confrontation.
Jiang Chen felt lonely and depressed, not knowing how he left the Jiang family.
He wanted to find someone to talk to, but found that there was no one around him.
His parents took advantage of him.
Ye Nian'en has been out of contact for a long time.
The person who once loved him wholeheartedly is now married and has a one-year-old son.
…
Jiang Chen's sad departure did not have any impact on the lively one-year-old banquet.
On the red mat were placed many props for the one-year-old celebration, which represent good luck.
Piano, drawing board, ingot, judge's hammer, golden abacus...
Yan Li was placed in the middle of the mat, sucking his thumb blankly and looking curiously at the crowd of onlookers.
Jiang Tingxu patiently guided him: "Yan Li, take whichever one you like, okay?"
Yan Li looked at his father, then turned to look at his mother, and received several encouraging glances.
He seemed to understand what Jiang Tingxu said. He pushed his hands on the ground and changed from a sitting position to a crawling position.
His big round eyes rolled around as he glanced over the props around him, but he couldn't seem to pick out any that he liked.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on something.
"The young master has started to move." Uncle Chen was very excited.
Cha Jiu was also very curious about what Yan Li would touch.
Yan Li crawled over the piano, crawled over the drawing board... He even crawled out of the mat for the Zhou ceremony and crawled towards the corner.
Cha Jiu: "Hey" What does he want?
Jiang Tingxu was also confused.
Finally, Yan Li crawled to the corner where a small square table was placed, and looked up with his little head raised.
"Tsk, tsk..." He uttered vague pronouns.
Jiang Tingxu seemed to understand something.
He walked over and picked up Yan Li.
Sure enough, Yan Li's perspective suddenly became higher. When he saw the goldfish swimming on the table, he laughed and clapped his hands: "Fish, fish, fish!"
Everyone suddenly realized.
It turns out that the young master of the Jiang family wanted to touch the fish!
etc!
Fishing
Tea nine forehead.
Jiang Tingxu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he hugged his silly and cute son and kissed him several times.
He didn't care what Yan Li finally touched.
All he wants is for his children to be healthy and happy throughout their lives.
It was hard for the guests who attended the event as they racked their brains but couldn't come up with a good congratulatory speech.
"It's good to touch the goldfish, may you have more every year... ahem."
"Fish, fish leaps over the Dragon Gate and soars into the sky."
“…”
That night, Cha Jiu tossed and turned in bed, but couldn't fall asleep.
She suddenly sat up and looked at Jiang Tingxu beside her with sharp eyes.
Jiang Tingxu felt his spine tingle from being stared at: "What's wrong?"
Cha Jiu: "Do you remember what you said?"
Jiang Tingxu couldn't understand this nonsense: "What did I say?"
"You said that among the three children you wanted, one would be silly, pure and kind, and would always do what he likes to do."
Jiang Tingxu was silent.
Cha Jiu had a bad feeling: "Is Yan Li the naive person you want?"
"Fish..."
The naive girl sleeping in the crib smacked her lips, and even in her dream she remembered that she had touched the little goldfish.

I can't write more, I'll clean up the Ye family's trash in the next chapter. Our Yan Li is not only a voice-controlled baby, but also a naive big brother, hahaha, but there will be younger brothers and sisters to protect him!
