Jiang Tian sighed, "Let bygones be bygones. I always look forward. Being able to take out the things my mother left me is a pleasant surprise."
"Um."
This was Jiang Tian's hidden pain, and Zhou Yancheng couldn't say anything. He simply stroked her hair to comfort her.
"But are you really going with me tomorrow? I can manage on my own."
Hearing her say this, Zhou Yancheng smiled and said, "I set a trap for my boss. He doesn't dare to let me participate in company affairs anymore, and only told me to come back first. Since I have time, how could I not help you?"
Zhou Yancheng's single sentence kept that leader trembling with fear for days.
He was someone who had participated in the Zhou family's transformation, and he vividly remembered how powerful Zhou Yancheng was back then.
It was just to make things difficult for him. They gave him a bunch of old data, and he could still spot the problems. What if they gave him the current data? The leader didn't even want to think about it.
Now all he wants to do is find the flaw Zhou Yancheng mentioned as soon as possible and fill in the gap.
Otherwise, if he gets caught, he'll be finished.
Back then, he secretly made a fortune without telling anyone...
Because of this matter, Zhou Yancheng's superior had no time to deal with him. He didn't dare to directly ask Zhou Yancheng what he saw was wrong. If Zhou Yancheng tricked him, wouldn't he fall for it?
So one person had to work overtime to finish it.
Zhou Yancheng worked an extra day, which resulted in his boss working overtime for more than a week and still having no clue what to do. It was worth it.
"Alright, then I'll take you to see the infighting within our Jiang family, this nouveau riche family."
Jiang's father made his fortune through his wife, and just in time for the rise of the "pigs can fly" phenomenon, he transformed into a wealthy family. He even changed to a young and beautiful wife. Everyone knows about his past.
Zhou Yancheng was relieved to see that Jiang Tian had calmed down.
Just moments before the two arrived at the Jiang family home, Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were still arguing.
After more than twenty years of marriage, Mr. Jiang had long been tired of her. If it weren't for the fact that his two children were both successful, he would have brought other women home long ago.
It's just a few pieces of jewelry. Taking them out and returning them to Jiang Tian isn't a big deal, but she insists on making a huge fuss. Who can tolerate that?
Mrs. Jiang also had her own grievances.
Before she married Mr. Jiang, she had followed him for many years without any official status. Every time she saw his official wife wearing gold and silver, she felt very envious.
She finally endured until the first wife died, and now that she's moved in, she's being asked to return a few pieces of jewelry. She's not having it!
To her, these pieces of jewelry were a symbol of her victory. Moreover, when she took these pieces of jewelry, Jiang Tian's mother was only terminally ill and had not yet passed away. She was wearing them quite well, so why should she hand them over!
Of course, her resistance was futile.
Jiang Qing and her father joined forces, forcing Mrs. Jiang to hand over the items.
When Jiang Qing learned that her mother's belongings were in her mother's jewelry box, she couldn't describe how she felt.
She felt a sense of disillusionment.
In her memory, her mother was a young, beautiful, and gentle mother. But what mother would steal the original wife's jewelry, or even steal Jiang Tian's jade pendant to give to her...?
Jiang Qing was in a state of confusion.
The three of them were each having their own fun when Jiang Tian and Zhou Yancheng arrived.
"Take everything out."
Jiang Tian didn't call out to anyone, but went straight to the point and explained her purpose.
The Jiang family members' faces stiffened, but since Jiang's father had already made an agreement with Jiang Tian on the phone, they couldn't go back on their word.
Even if it's hard to part with it, you still have to give what you should give.
Jiang Tian's mother is an antique enthusiast. Although her family background is not particularly prominent, she has an excellent eye for finding bargains and has kept many good items.
Apart from the items sold to fund Jiang's father's business, everything else was left to Jiang Tian.
Watching Jiang Tian lead the professional appraisers to examine each item one by one, Mrs. Jiang's heart ached terribly.
They're all hers! They're all hers!
She screamed inwardly, but it was no use.
Two hours later, everything had been checked.
Jiang Tian smiled and said, "Dad, you really keep your promise. Everything you gave me is genuine. I was worried that Auntie would use fakes to make them."
Mrs. Jiang's face looked worse than a ghost.
Mr. Jiang remained calm. The Jiang family had accumulated considerable wealth over the past twenty years, but these were just some antiques, which he hadn't taken seriously.
"Sister, can I have that jade pendant now?"
Jiang Qing was getting impatient.
This was the first time she had ever wanted something, and after so long, despite repeatedly backing down, she still hadn't gotten it.
When is your friend arriving?
"Give me the jade pendant in the next couple of days."
Jiang Tian shook her head: "Call me in advance when your friend arrives, and I'll go there early. After you've seen it, I'll take it with me."
"Jiang Tian, are you guarding against thieves?" Jiang's father was furious.
Jiang Tian looked at him, a hint of sarcasm on her lips: "Yes."
Just as Jiang's father was about to make a move, he saw Zhou Yancheng step in front of Jiang Tian.
Seeing his gaze, Jiang's father was stunned for a moment, his anger replaced by coldness.
Zhou Yancheng's gaze held a coldness that made him wary.
His reason returned, and he regained his composure.
Jiang Qing was so angry that her hands were trembling, but since her plan hadn't succeeded, she could only endure it.
Finally, she agreed, feeling utterly humiliated.
Jiang Tian and Zhou Yancheng successfully brought her mother's belongings back and placed them in a sufficiently safe antique storage facility.
On the way back, Jiang Tian was in a very high mood.
"Not bad, young man, you've even impressed my dad." Jiang Tian praised him generously.
Zhou Yancheng parked the car and opened the door for her: "So, are you going to repay me?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Tian shrugged and said, "I have the will but not the ability."
