The man stood at the door, wearing a black trench coat and a silver watch on his wrist, exuding a cold and domineering aura.
When he appeared, everyone froze on the spot.
The hasty bodyguards stepped back, making way for them, and respectfully said hello.
"President Jiang."
Apart from the patriarch, only Jiang Ting in the Jiang family is qualified to be called President Jiang by everyone, regardless of seniority.
Jiang Ji shouted excitedly, "Big Brother is back!"
Jiang Ting's expression was cold, and his first words were a question, "What kind of mess did you make of this?"
Jiang Ji felt wronged.
For my sister's sake, I can't get angry with my older brother at a time like this.
Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, the best is to act coquettishly.
He grabbed Jiang Ting's arm, making a disgusting squeaking sound, "Big brother, I swear to God, Xiao Ji is innocent!"
"Him, him, and him! While you were away, they came to our house to bully me, my little brother, and my sister who just came back."
"Big brother, you must stand up for us~ Waaaaah."
Jiang Ting's indifferent face showed a hint of disdain, but he did not reach out to push away his younger brother beside him.
He raised his eyes, his gaze icy cold. "You've all forgotten the rules I set!"
"Assistant Xu, please have the extra people leave!!"
Xu Yancheng understood immediately and ordered his men to pull away the disorganized bodyguards.
The first rule Jiang Zemin established after taking office was that no one could enter Dongyuan without his permission.
That's incredibly audacious, daring to shit on President Jiang's head.
Xu Yancheng urged in a low voice, "Hurry up!"
Compared to the haphazard bodyguards, Jiang Ting's men were physically strong and well-trained.
In an instant, the room was empty.
Jiang Congming's heart trembled, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Jiang Ting, this is my man, how dare you..."
Jiang Ting retorted, "What did you call me?"
Jiang Congming dared not refute, and was so angry that he vomited blood.
The next heir of the Jiang family, regardless of seniority or age, everyone must call him President Jiang.
The position I once dreamed of is now in someone else's hands. How infuriating!
Jiang Congming clenched his fists, had no choice but to lower his head, and squeezed out two words from his throat.
"General Jiang!!"
"Is this okay?"
Jiang Congming paused for a moment, then shifted the focus, "Your brother brought unrelated people back to the Jiang family. Father will never allow such a thing!"
Seeing this, Jiang Congye intensified his attack, "You should control your brother. He's been acting crazy and talking nonsense all day long. It was one thing for him to be crazy before, but now he's even crazier."
"The Jiang family must never allow outsiders to enter."
Jiang Ting walked to Lin Xi's side, a hint of tenderness flashing in his indifferent eyes.
He spoke slowly and deliberately, “Whether she is an outsider or not is none of your business, uncles and elders. As for Grandpa, I will handle it myself.”
Jiang Congming roared angrily, "Are you crazy!"
Jiang Congye chimed in, "You're really crazy, letting your brother run wild like this. If Father finds out, it'll be questionable whether you can even keep your position as CEO. What's with all the arrogance?!"
Jiang Ting suddenly laughed, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Xu Yancheng thought to himself: Oh no.
President Jiang rarely smiles, but when he does, it's not a lighthearted gesture.
Sure enough, the next second he heard President Jiang say, "Uncle is old and confused. He doesn't need to come out these days. He should stay in his room to recuperate."
Xu Yancheng waved his hands frantically, "Quick!"
"Okay, Assistant Xu."
The burly men grabbed Jiang Congming, covered his mouth, and strode out.
Jiang Congming stared wide-eyed, "Mmm..."
Jiang Ting, you've gone too far!
Jiang Congye, standing nearby, was startled.
I've never seen Jiang Ting so angry. He not only confiscated my brother's bodyguard, but also locked him up.
This matter will surely alarm the old man.
Is it worth it for a stranger?
Xu Yancheng gestured, "You two can leave on your own, or I'll invite you out."
Jiang Congye wanted to say something, but was stopped by his younger brother.
Jiang Congyue always had a smile on his face. He said cheerfully, "President Jiang, I won't bother you any longer."
The farce is over.
Xu Yancheng was very perceptive; he led a group of his men out of the living room and considerately closed the door behind them.
Suddenly, silence fell, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Jiang Ji plopped down, "I was terrified! These people are bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. All they know how to do is bully me."
"Sister, sit down."
Lin Xi stood still, sizing up her elder brother by blood.
His face seemed to be covered by a thick veil, making it hazy and unclear. He was the most difficult for the Jiang family to understand, and there was a sense of familiarity about him.
Jiang Ting felt a strong gaze, but ignored it and casually poured himself a cup of tea.
Lin Xi snatched his cup and asked, word by word, "Don't you doubt my identity?"
Jiang Ting smiled but remained silent, picking up another teacup and continuing to pour tea, the rising steam obscuring his expression.
Lin Xi got hooked on snatching them.
He poured her a glass, and she snatched it away.
The corner of the table was piled with tea. Jiang Ji silently picked up a cup and drank it all. "You guys are playing games, I want to play too."
He reached out, but Jiang Ting slapped his hand back.
"They have no proper sitting or standing posture."
Jiang Ji grinned and said, "Big brother taught me well."
The teapot was emptied. Jiang Ting paused for a moment, then looked at the girl beside him, his eyes flashing.
He straightened his cuffs, smoothing out the wrinkles he had inadvertently made, and said casually.
"Give me back my tea."
"There's no name written on the teapot, so what's this about it being yours or mine?" Lin Xi raised an eyebrow, testing his attitude.
"I'm not paying you back, what can you do about it?"
Jiang Ting glanced at her a few times without showing any emotion, then got up and went upstairs with a faint smile on his lips.
Lin Xi watched the man's retreating figure and thought, "For so many years, he's always been expressionless."
Jiang Ji was jealous. "Little sister, don't pay attention to your brother. He's always been indifferent to people."
He pulled a bag of snacks from the drawer. "I hid these secretly, my brother doesn't know. Eat them quickly."
"Thanks."
Lin Xi was bored and started squeezing potato chips.
Crunch, crunch! One by one, the plump potato chips turned into crumbs, it felt very satisfying.
A moment later, the sound of a wheelchair sliding could be heard from behind.
Jiang Ji immediately stood up, her eyes filled with sorrow.
He said softly, "Mom, you're awake."
