Chapter 56. I'm so sorry he wasn't driven mad...
Seeing that Jiang Sisi was certain that the CEO Jiang from earlier was the former Jiang Zhaodi.
Hu Weimin's first reaction was joy. He had inquired before coming and learned that this Ms. Jiang Xi was a well-known investor in Hong Kong. He had heard that she made money on everything she invested in.
Many people idolize her and regard her as the Goddess of Wealth.
This trip was specifically to invest in his hometown, which is why Hu Weimin brought Jiang Sisi along.
Since this is President Jiang's hometown, it's quite possible that she and Jiang Sisi are related. Hu Weimin thought he'd bring Jiang Sisi here to try and get closer to her; if she was happy, even a little something slipped through her fingers would be enough for him to make a fortune.
But now Jiang Sisi tells him that the CEO Jiang is actually his timid sister-in-law Jiang Zhaodi.
Seeing Jiang Sisi's terrified expression, Hu Weimin became somewhat unconcerned.
"What are you afraid of? She's your own sister."
"No, she's a ghost, she's here to take lives."
Jiang Sisi was genuinely terrified. She had initially thought Jiang Zhaodi had committed suicide, but then she returned disguised. Who knew what she was up to?
"Impossible. President Jiang said she came to give back to her hometown. She must be teasing you on purpose. If she came to take your life, why would she invest in her hometown?"
Jiang Sisi thought about it again and realized that Hu Weimin was right. Zhao Di had longed for her parents' attention since she was a child, which was why she tried so hard to please them.
She had recovered by now and went back with Hu Weimin, wanting to see Jiang Zhaodi again.
Unexpectedly, they were stopped by several men.
"I'm your CEO Jiang's own sister, how dare you stop me?" Jiang Sisi immediately trembled.
The assistant knew about Jiang Xi's situation and didn't need to go in to inform her. "I'm sorry, our CEO Jiang is not receiving guests right now."
The thought that the person inside was Jiang Zhaodi, and that she still dared to act arrogantly towards her, made Jiang Sisi furious, and she was determined to force her way in.
“Comrade, it’s all a misunderstanding. We are General Jiang’s own sister and brother-in-law. We are family. If you don’t believe me, go in and ask General Jiang.” Hu Weimin explained from the side.
They did not stop Jiang Sisi from forcing his way in.
Before she knew that it was her sister-in-law Jiang Zhaodi, she naturally treated the Hong Kong businessman, Mr. Jiang, with utmost courtesy.
Upon learning that General Manager Jiang was actually Jiang Zhaodi, Hu Weimin's mindset suddenly changed.
Thinking of my ex-sister-in-law, a feeling of disdain welled up inside me. I knew her background perfectly well; who was she trying to impress?
Originally, it was thought that Jiang Zhaodi would come out, but the bodyguards unceremoniously restrained Jiang Sisi and then notified the police to take the couple away on charges of causing trouble.
As she left, Jiang Sisi was still cursing and saying she would teach Jiang Xi a lesson.
In the end, it was Jiang Yuzhu's husband, Zhong Zibai, who stepped in and got them both out of the police station. As soon as they entered the house, Jiang Chaoying threw a cup at them.
"What's wrong with you two? I heard you offended some businessmen from Hong Kong and got arrested? Do you know how much trouble you've caused your brother-in-law?"
Jiang Sisi felt extremely wronged and shouted, "What Hong Kong businessman? Do you even know who he is?"
The Jiang family looked at her, puzzled. Jiang Chaoying frowned even more. "No one can cause trouble for Yuzhu and her husband? How much has Zibai helped you over the years? How many favors did he have to do to get you out of this mess? Do you think favors are something inexhaustible?"
Looking at her angry father, Jiang Sisi sneered, "That businesswoman from Hong Kong is Jiang Zhaodi. She's not dead. She's back. She said she's come back to settle scores with us."
Yang Xinghua suddenly stood up. "What did you say?"
Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Jiang Sisi became smug again. "Mom, Jiang Zhaodi is doing really well now. She's become a Hong Kong businesswoman, and even the manager of the State Guesthouse treats her with great respect. But she hates us, she hates that we treated her badly back then, and she's come to collect her debts from us. The shroud you wore on your birthday was a gift from her. Mom and Dad, she's hoping you die."
Jiang Sisi spent several days in the police station, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was now seething with anger.
In her memory, Jiang Zhaodi was the most useless person in the family. Now she has transformed into a big boss, far surpassing them. If they want to see her, she will send them to the police station. How can Jiang Sisi be convinced?
She guessed that Jiang Zhaodi must have deliberately used this trick to provoke her parents, just to show them how successful she was now, and to make them regret what they had done to her.
So Jiang Sisi embellished the story and said a lot of things to sow discord between Jiang Zhaodi and her parents. Jiang Zhaodi would definitely be scolded by her parents, but Jiang Sisi had already thought it through. As long as she was willing to hand over the business in Gangcheng to Weimin, she would put in a good word for Jiang Zhaodi with her parents.
This was something Jiang Sisi and Hu Weimin had planned. They said a lot of bad things about Jiang Zhaodi, and seeing that their parents were indeed very angry, the couple smiled at each other.
“That jinx dares to come back? Mom and Dad, you’d better teach her a lesson this time.” Jiang Yaozu said with a look of disgust, fiddling with the latest Walkman in his hand.
Who can blame me for thinking this older sister is the most useless? So what if she's rich? She still comes back eagerly to please our parents.
Unlike Sister Yuzhu, the Walkman he has is hard to buy. Sister Yuzhu had to pull strings to get it for him, saying that the foreign language tapes would help him study.
However, Jiang Yaozu didn't have any talent for studying, so he secretly switched to foreign language songs, since his parents couldn't understand them anyway.
Sister Yuzhu also said that when he graduates from high school, she will give him an MP3 player. Some of his classmates have one; it has songs and even displays the lyrics.
He said he bought it from the port city, and Jiang Yaozu was very envious.
"Sisi, you and Weimin go and call her back. She's gone too far! Just because she's doing well doesn't mean she dares to go against the family. I'll skin her alive!" Jiang Chaoying said to Jiang Sisi and her husband.
He originally wanted to go directly to Jiang Zhaodi, but it would be disrespectful for a father like him to go to her in person, so he directly asked Jiang Sisi and her husband to pass on the message.
Jiang Sisi immediately took Hu Weimin to the State Guesthouse, where they happened to run into Jiang Xi, who was coming out of the hotel.
A luxury car was parked in front of the hotel. A hint of jealousy flashed in Jiang Sisi's eyes. Zhao Di was really living a good life, being able to ride in such a luxury car.
But how could a woman like her afford to buy these things? She'd heard that it was normal for men in Hong Kong to keep mistresses, and with that thought in mind, Jiang Sisi wasn't so jealous of Jiang Xi.
But seeing her adorned with jewels, I still felt a pang of jealousy. Those men had raised Zhaodi so well that they almost didn't recognize her.
Jiang Sisi felt terrible, but she still quickly walked over with her husband.
"Zhao Di," Jiang Sisi called out with a smile, but before she could get close, she was stopped by the bodyguard.
Thinking of the scene where she was pinned to the ground by this group of bodyguards last time, Jiang Sisi's smile faltered, and her expression became somewhat timid.
Seeing Jiang Xi looking over, Jiang Sisi laughed again, "Zhaodi, I'm your eldest sister, don't you remember me?"
"What do you want with me?" Jiang Xi stopped and looked at the other person and asked.
Seeing Jiang Zhaodi speaking to her, Jiang Sisi thought she understood her thoughts and smiled, "Zhaodi, Dad already knows you're back. He was furious at home because you sent me and your brother-in-law to the police station. I was the one who calmed him down. You should remember my kindness as your older sister."
Jiang Xi laughed, "Thank you so much. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the one stirring things up. It's a pity he wasn't driven to death by anger. I'm so sorry."
"How can you talk like that?" Jiang Sisi couldn't accept that Jiang Zhaodi dared to talk back to her.
"Mr. Jiang, it's time for us to leave," the secretary reminded him.
Jiang Xi got into the car directly, but the bodyguards stopped Jiang Sisi and her husband. They watched the car drive away, swallowing a mouthful of exhaust fumes. Jiang Sisi was so angry that she went back and exaggerated her complaint.
They even said that Jiang Xi was someone's concubine in Hong Kong, and now he dares to come back and act arrogantly.
She spoke as if she had witnessed it herself.
"How dare she act so arrogantly? She's gone too far!" Jiang Chaoying slammed her hand on the table, her face turning red with anger.
“Dad, I’ll go.” Jiang Guangzong stood up and said, “I’ll go and bring her back, and make her kneel in front of you and Mom and kowtow to apologize.”
Jiang Chaoying nodded. He naturally trusted his son more than his daughter and son-in-law.
Guangzong is increasingly resembling a big boss.
This time, he's determined to break Jiang Zhaodi's legs. She ran away after the divorce, and now she dares to be someone's concubine. She has no shame, but the Jiang family does.
It would be better for them to die outside, so they can have some peace and quiet.
Upon receiving Jiang Chaoying's message, Jiang Guangzong immediately went to the State Guesthouse, only to be told that Jiang Xi had already left and no one at the State Guesthouse knew where he had gone.
Jiang Guangzong, seething with anger, sat in the lobby of the state guesthouse waiting. He waited until evening, his anger growing stronger, until Jiang Xi finally returned.
"Jiang Zhaodi!" Upon seeing Jiang Xi being ushered in, Jiang Guangzong immediately rushed over, only to be restrained by the bodyguards.
"President Jiang, do you know him?" Xu Chao asked.
Xu Chao was the person who was sent by her superiors to accompany her to invest.
“Mr. Xu, look at his face, doesn’t he look like he’s about to eat me up?” Jiang Xi asked with a smile.
Xu Chao took a closer look and saw that Jiang Guangzong had been looking hateful from the moment he appeared, as if he were Jiang Xi's enemy.
Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Guangzong cursed, "Jiang Zhaodi, you beast, you shameless thing, you even dare to be someone's concubine. You have disgraced our Jiang family. How dare you come back? You might as well have died out there."
Jiang Xi did not react, but listened quietly.
Xu Chao frowned, looking at Jiang Guangzong with great displeasure. President Jiang was someone protected by his superiors; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent him to accompany him.
This person is dressed respectably, but the things he says are really nasty.
Jiang Xi walked over and kicked Jiang Guangzong in the groin. Because he was being held down by two bodyguards, Jiang Guangzong was in so much pain that his face was contorted, but he couldn't move.
There was no way to reach out and cover it.
Xu Chao felt pain just looking at it, but he didn't say anything.
"Mr. Xu, could you please call the police for me? This person is harassing me. By the way, last time a couple tried to force their way into my room, but my bodyguards took them to the police station. They were released in just two days and even dared to brag to me. I'd like to ask, is this how the police handle things?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I will handle it."
Jiang Xi nodded. "I'm someone who hates trouble, so I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Xu."
After watching Jiang Xi go upstairs, Xu Chao personally escorted Jiang Guangzong to the police station and greeted the police chief.
Hearing that this person was also surnamed Jiang, and that he kept calling President Jiang "Jiang Zhaodi," Xu Chao couldn't help but frown.
The situation is also clear: this person is definitely related to Jiang Xi, but his attitude is not like that of a family member, but rather like that of an enemy.
Xu Chao didn't investigate too much, but he was ordered by his superiors to accompany Jiang Xi, so he couldn't let her get hurt in any way.
Hearing that Jiang Guangzong had also been arrested, and that even his son-in-law had personally called the police station, the other party refused to release him, saying that unless the person involved could understand, Jiang Chaoying felt dizzy.
"That wicked girl, how dare she?"
The eldest daughter-in-law cried and begged him to save Guangzong, so Jiang Chaoying decided to go and see Jiang Zhaodi in person.
Yang Xinghua was also very dissatisfied. Why make such a big fuss when you're coming back? Are you afraid that others won't know about the shameful things you've done?
"I'll go too."
Jiang Yuzhu and her husband exchanged a glance and hesitated, saying, "Mom and Dad, it might not work. Zhao Di is a Hong Kong businesswoman now, and the country supports people like her to invest. Since she has already spoken up, the police here will give her some face. Getting my brother out won't be that easy."
"Are we just going to let her run wild? She may not care about the embarrassment, but I do."
Jiang Yuzhu said, "Actually, it's not that it's impossible, but I'm worried that you and Mom won't agree."
"What method?" Jiang Chaoying asked Jiang Yuzhu.
“We won’t accept her investment here. We can have Zibai talk to his subordinates and refuse her investment. As long as she stops investing here, things won’t get too big, and not many people will know that Zhaodi is someone’s concubine.”
Jiang Chaoying thought about it and felt it made sense. As long as her investment failed, it would just go back to where it came from. Whoever wanted her dirty money could have it. Anyway, they wouldn't want Jiang Zhaodi's dirty money.
Jiang Si wanted to speak, but Hu Weimin stopped him, as he didn't want to offend his capable brother-in-law.
No matter how capable Jiang Zhaodi is, she still has to listen to her brother-in-law. When the government intervenes and prevents her from investing here, she'll have to beg them for help.
"Dad, what about Guangzong?" Liu Yue, the eldest daughter-in-law, said, crying.
Zhong Zibai said, "Jiang Zhaodi used some method to make my brother stay inside for a while. As long as she can't invest here and leaves, I can let my brother out."
“No way, what kind of nice place could be inside?” Yang Xinghua objected.
"Then go talk to that wretched girl. Look at her now, do you think she'll listen to you?" Jiang Chaoying said impatiently.
Yang Xinghua stammered, unable to speak.
