Grandma Jiang stared at Jiang Minghe guiltily, unable to refute him.
Jiang Minghe looked at Old Madam Jiang and sneered, "Mother, how are you doing now? Are you doing well? You're doing much better than others. You're always causing trouble for others. Do you think others have time to deal with your antics?"
Since his ex-wife passed away, Jiang Minghe's attitude towards his mother has become very bad, and he often argues back.
Jiang Jinyao watched as her father began to speak up for her, but she felt no emotion whatsoever; it was merely a way to alleviate her own guilt.
Jiang Jinyao still felt heartbroken and sad.
One woman's actions have turned this family into what it is today.
Jiang Mingjing sighed helplessly and said, "Brother, let's take the old man and this comrade back. I don't like arguing right now. I have many guests at home today and I don't want to hear you talk about these things anymore."
After Jiang Mingjing finished speaking, he turned and went into the kitchen.
"Second son, what do you mean by this?" Old Mrs. Jiang pulled Jiang Mingjing and said, "This is the wife I chose for you. She's going to stay here with you today. If you don't agree, I'm not leaving today."
"What do you think this place is, where anyone can be brought in!" Jiang Mingjing restrained his temper, his eyes filled with anger as he looked at Old Madam Jiang. "It was you who said it back then, Old Madam, that you don't have a son like me. If not a hundred people heard it, then dozens, if not a hundred, then dozens. I don't care who you want to marry, but you want to cause trouble here!"
"Guard?" Jiang Mingjing turned around and called out to Li Jiasheng.
"arrive."
"Call the security office. Someone is causing trouble in the military family compound. Strangers have come in. Take them to the police station for questioning." Jiang Mingjing originally wanted to save face for Old Madam Jiang, but now that things have escalated to his level, he won't tolerate it.
"You dare? I'm your mother!" Old Mrs. Jiang exclaimed anxiously.
“I still have the newspaper article you published severing our parent-child relationship back then. Do I need to read aloud what you said to the media?” Jiang Mingjing raised his voice. “I’ve been more than kind to you all these years. What more do you want? Have you ever interfered in my life? Now you’re introducing me to a partner, isn’t it just because you think I have a son and a grandson, to make you proud? Inviting you here today is out of respect for you. Since you’ve said all this, we’re not suitable to spend the New Year together. You’re not welcome.”
After Jiang Mingjing finished speaking, he looked at his elder brother, Jiang Minghe.
Grandma Jiang looked at Jiang Mingjing, angrily stepped forward and slapped him across the face.
Jiang Mingjing has already been slapped twice this year, both times by his heartless mother.
Wang Xiaohua watched as the usually kind Old Mrs. Jiang beat her son without any mercy.
Jiang Mingjing didn't really want things to get too awkward with Old Madam Jiang, but she threw a bombshell at him right off the bat. Anyone would be upset in that situation.
They didn't care at all that there were guests present.
When Lu Chen saw his father being beaten, he walked over and was about to speak when Jiang Mingjing came over and stopped him.
He glanced at Lu Chen.
"Grandma, let's go." Wang Xiaohua felt embarrassed to stay any longer. She wanted to live a good life, but she couldn't lose face.
Look at these people; they are people she will never be able to reach in her entire life.
She was terrified by the look in those eyes after that slap.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Grandma Jiang said to Wang Xiaohua without any fear.
This wasn't the first time Old Mrs. Jiang had hit her son; she had plenty of reason to do so.
“No matter how high your official rank is, you still bear the surname Jiang, and you are still my son.” Old Mrs. Jiang’s eyes were fierce.
"Grandma, you've already written the letter of severance. All these years, your second uncle has sent you money every month out of gratitude for giving birth to you, not because you're his mother. If it were me, I would have called the police and had you arrested and put in jail for a while, letting those people teach you a lesson. You're always hitting people, what a problem!"
Jiang Jinyao dares to say anything; she just couldn't stand it anymore.
Only my second uncle is so easy to talk to.
“If you don’t leave, I won’t send any more money starting next month. Old lady, you’d better think twice.” Jiang Mingjing looked at Old Madam Jiang. He didn’t understand why his mother had such malice towards him, her son.
"Mom, I'll take you home." Jiang Minghe helped the old lady Jiang leave.
I can't eat this New Year's Eve dinner.
"Jiang Mingjing, I'm going to sue you tomorrow and tell everyone that you're an ungrateful bastard who doesn't respect his own mother. Haven't you come to see me even once in all these years? I won't let you get away with this!" Old Mrs. Jiang angrily cursed Jiang Mingjing.
Wang Xiaohua left awkwardly with her grandson.
"I'm telling you, you just wait!"
At this moment, Old Mrs. Jiang was like a shrew cursing in the street.
Jiang Mingjing turned his back to Old Madam Jiang and took a deep breath.
"Guards?" Jiang Mingjing called out loudly.
"Here, sir."
Li Jiasheng stood at the door.
"Give me a hand." Jiang Mingjing asked Li Jiasheng to help him, and together with Jiang Minghe, they helped the old lady Jiang leave.
As the sound faded into the distance, Jiang Mingjing sighed, composed himself, and looked at everyone.
"I've made you all laugh at me again!" Jiang Mingjing said to everyone with a smile, tears welling up in his eyes.
Shen Qiaoyue knew that her father-in-law and your biological mother did not have a good relationship, but she did not know that he would yell at you to this extent.
Lu Chen looked at his father with eyes full of heartache, the handprint on his face clearly visible.
Xu Tiande took out an egg from inside and wrapped it in a cloth.
“We’re used to it already. Lu Chen, let me put this on for you!” Xu Tiande had already boiled an egg the moment Grandma Jiang came in.
"Hey!" Shen Yuanyi retorted, "So you were prepared all along?"
“I’m used to it. Every time she comes, she makes a huge fuss and never lets me have a moment’s peace!” Xu Tiande still felt sorry for his good brother Jiang Mingjing. “You are a successful person, and I can’t understand why the old lady is so troublesome.”
If someone had a son like that, they would be very proud and would treat him like an ancestor. No matter how high an official's rank is, he can't escape his family of origin!
Jiang Jinyao looked at her second uncle and came over to help him sit down.
Lu Chen took the egg and applied it to Jiang Mingjing's face.
"I don't know, maybe it's because I'm too rebellious and my mother doesn't like me!" Jiang Mingjing had been thinking about this problem since he was very young.
"Second Uncle, are you alright?" Jiang Jinyao asked worriedly.
"It's nothing." Jiang Mingjing shook his head. "How can you talk back to an elder like that? No matter how much you dislike her, she's still your grandmother. If you don't want to see her or talk to her, then we should stay away from her. But you can't talk to an elder like that. People will say you have no manners."
“I can’t stand by and watch her talk about my second uncle like that,” Jiang Jinyao said, feeling wronged. “I almost starved to death back then, I can’t forgive her.”
"Good girl, don't cry, it's all over now!" Jiang Mingjing gently patted Jiang Jinyao's hand.
No one continued the topic.
After Grandma Jiang left, things became much quieter.
