Chapter 217 Jiang Qi Files a Complaint [21]
Jiang Qi stayed in his room because he couldn't be with A Chu.
The weather was nice today, and although the sunshine didn't cause him much harm, it still made him feel quite uncomfortable.
So Jiang Qi drew the curtains, making the whole room very dark.
In addition, he himself was extremely yin, making the whole room dark and cold.
If someone were to enter Jiang Qi's room at this moment, they would instinctively shudder, feeling as if they had entered a haunted house.
Of course, no one would enter Jiang Qi's room.
Around 3 p.m., Achu and Lin Fengyue, dressed in their finest attire, prepared to head out to the Jiang family's old residence.
It was the same extended luxury car as yesterday. Jiang Qi and Jiang Mingxuan sat opposite each other, while A Chu and Lin Fengyue sat on this side.
Today, Achu is wearing a light pink off-the-shoulder princess dress with a slightly puffy skirt. It is inlaid with tiny diamonds that reflect light under the sunlight and lamplight, like stars scattered on it.
Her hair was styled in an updo, adorned with a pink diamond crown given to her by Jiang Mingxuan. Her exquisite makeup enhanced her already stunning appearance, making her seem almost otherworldly.
Jiang Qi looked at A Chu and felt that she was like a princess in a fairy tale.
No, she's even more beautiful than the princesses in fairy tales!
Lin Fengyue, standing next to A Chu, wore a purple halter-neck V-neck fishtail dress, looking radiant and elegant.
Jiang Qi and Jiang Mingxuan were dressed differently, one in a dark green suit and the other in a white suit.
The car quickly drove into the Jiang family's old house.
Mr. Jiang is the founder of the Jiang Group. At the age of eighty, he has not yet stepped down as the chairman of the group and still goes to the company for a regular meeting every month.
However, his health has not been particularly good in the past year, so the company has basically been handed over to Jiang Mingxuan.
Grandpa Jiang was married three times and had four sons and two daughters.
His eldest son and eldest daughter were both born to his first wife.
Jiang Mingxuan was the second son, born to his second wife.
The two sons and one daughter were born to his third wife, who is also the current Mrs. Jiang.
Grandpa Jiang was married three times, not because he was a womanizer, but because his first two wives passed away before he remarried.
As for why the Jiang Group was handed over to Jiang Mingxuan, who is ranked second, instead of the eldest son, Jiang.
The reason is simple.
Grandpa Jiang didn't want the business empire he had built to fail in the second generation.
Therefore, he chose his most outstanding son, who could lead the Jiang Group to a higher level.
As it turned out, Jiang Mingxuan did not disappoint him.
As for his other sons, it was no use for them to feel dissatisfied. Old Master Jiang was a man of his word, and the younger generation all feared him.
When Achu and the others arrived at the old house, the other families had already arrived.
As soon as Achu and the others went inside, their third uncle immediately made a sarcastic remark: "Oh my! Second brother is really a busy man. It's Dad's birthday, and your family is the last to arrive!"
Jiang Mingxuan didn't even look at him, but instead greeted Grandpa Jiang with a smile: "Dad, happy birthday!"
No matter how cold Lin Fengyue was to Jiang Mingxuan in private, she would still put on a show of politeness in front of Old Master Jiang.
So she stood next to Jiang Mingxuan and smiled as she congratulated the old man.
Achu pulled Jiang Qi over and sweetly called out, "Grandpa! Wishing you good health, boundless happiness, and longevity!"
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and gestured to Jiang Qi with her eyes.
Jiang Qi forced a smile; he'd been smiling more lately, and his smiles were more natural.
Happy birthday, Grandpa.
Even on Grandpa Jiang's usually stern face, a kind smile appeared.
"Okay, okay!"
He was clearly very happy and didn't care at all that his second son's family was the last to arrive.
Jiang Mingxuan then presented Old Master Jiang with a gift he had prepared, an antique piece he had acquired at an auction.
Lin Fengyue also gave her a gift that she had found abroad.
Achu was a gift given by Jiang Qi together; it was an ancient painting that they had copied together.
Grandpa Jiang said he liked it very much and gave each of them a large red envelope.
Of course, there are other people as well.
They just always felt that the old man was biased and might give them a bigger red envelope.
Next, the elders reminisced and chatted, while the younger generation had free time to do as they pleased.
Grandpa Jiang had many children, and therefore even more grandchildren.
Achu and Jiang Qi are in the middle of the younger generation, with several cousins of the same age.
"Chaochao, come quick, let's go over there!" Achu was quickly pulled away by her cousins of the same age.
She is Jiang Mingxuan's only daughter.
Whether outside or at home, she is basically pampered.
As for Jiang Qi, the Jiang family also looked down on his status as an illegitimate child.
Once Achu was taken away, Jiang Qi was left out in the cold.
He was used to it and didn't care.
Just as he was looking for a dark corner to stay in, Jiang Menglai, the seventeen-year-old son of Uncle Jiang, came over and deliberately bumped into his shoulder.
Jiang Menglai's plan was to knock Jiang Qi to the ground hard and then scold him for not watching where he was going.
Jiang Menglai is well-developed, standing at 1.8 meters tall, and is also quite strong due to his years of playing basketball.
Although Jiang Qi was taller than him, he was too thin.
Last year, Jiang Menglai used the same method to knock Jiang Qi to the ground, causing his palms to be scraped raw.
As a result, he suffered a major setback today.
Jiang Qi did not fall down, but Jiang Menglai fell flat on his back due to the recoil.
"Ouch!~"
Jiang Menglai felt like his tailbone was about to break, and his handsome face was contorted with pain.
Several of his cousins came over and helped him up.
While rubbing his tailbone, Jiang Menglai cursed Jiang Qi: "You lowly bastard! Don't you have eyes?!"
His cousin chimed in, "Jiang Qi, why aren't you apologizing to Xiao Lai yet!"
"What's the use of an apology? I think he should be punished!"
"Yes! Punish him!"
Jiang Menglai smiled and said, "I just got a new baseball bat, perfect for testing it out!"
Several teenagers looked at Jiang Qi with malicious intent.
Jiang Qi stood there, looking at them with a gloomy expression.
His fingers twitched, as if he was about to do something.
Just then, Achu's voice came from behind.
"What are you doing?!"
Jiang Qi's gloomy gaze immediately changed. Although his face was still expressionless, it was clearly different from before.
He turned around, looked at Achu, and called out, "Sister."
"Jiang Menglai bumped into me and I fell. They made me apologize and even tried to hit me."
Jiang Menglai and the others were so surprised that Jiang Qi would complain to A Chu that their eyes widened.
But they quickly relaxed, their faces full of mocking smiles.
"Jiang Qi, what's the point of complaining to Jiang Chaochao? Do you think Jiang Chaochao will help you?"
"Haha, that's right!"
Jiang Menglai: "Cousin Chaochao, I was just suggesting that Jiang Qi, this illegitimate son, try out my baseball bat. Do you want to take a look?"
Achu didn't say anything, walked up to Jiang Menglai, and kicked him.
Caught off guard, Jiang Menglai was kicked and forced to kneel on one knee.
"Ah! Jiang Chaochao, you motherfucker—"
"Smack!"
Ah Chu slapped him across the face again.
"Who are you insulting?!"
