Jiang Xuanxuan felt very uncomfortable after being lectured by what she considered a junior assistant.
As soon as she arrived home in the housekeeper's car, she started making a huge scene, complaining to her mother, Wang Xiuzhen, and saying she wanted to fire that arrogant "servant."
Wang Xiuzhen was also indignant about this, and picked up the phone to dial Jiang Jucai's number. However, after dialing more than ten times, the phone was always switched off.
"Jiang Jucai, you old geezer! How dare you turn off your phone and not answer? You've got some nerve!" Wang Xiuzhen yelled into the phone before turning to Jiang Xuanxuan and asking, "Where is your dad?"
"A group of people in uniforms just took him away from the press conference," Jiang Xuanxuan suddenly remembered.
"What? What did you say?" Wang Xiuzhen exclaimed in shock. "Who dares to take away the Jiang family members?"
Okay! This shrew is another uncultured and narrow-minded person!
Unable to contact Jiang Jucai, Wang Xiuzhen couldn't manage company affairs either.
Whether it was foresight or not, Jiang Jucai stipulated from the very beginning that Wang Xiuzhen was not allowed to participate in any company operations.
Wang Xiuzhen didn't mind at first. She never thought about working; she just wanted to be a wealthy lady and spend money as she pleased.
Wang Xiuzhen asked the housekeeper what time the press conference would be broadcast, and after checking the time, she found there was still more than an hour to go.
She wasn't worried about her husband being taken away; after all, Jiang Jucai was just a money-making tool to her.
Since Jiang Jucai wasn't coming back, she didn't need to wait for him to eat. She simply had the chef serve the dishes, and she and Jiang Xuanxuan enjoyed a comfortable dinner together.
The mother and daughter chatted about the latest fashion items they had seen while eating, discussing what each other had bought, and taking the opportunity to belittle the taste of those wealthy women.
This nonchalant attitude made the butler frown slightly, feeling sorry for Jiang Jucai.
Although Jiang Jucai wasn't a good person, he hadn't mistreated his housekeeper over the years. On the contrary, when the mistress made things difficult for him, he would even speak up for her.
If it weren't for the generous salary from the Jiang family, which allowed his daughter to attend a good school, he wouldn't have served them for so many years.
Now that her daughter is about to graduate, she won't have as much pressure in the future, and she's starting to think about retiring.
The housekeeper's wife is disabled, and he has been working long hours and rarely resting for years, which makes him feel sorry for his wife.
But his wife is unable to work due to health conditions and has no income. How can this family survive without him?
He was also a clear-headed person. Although the Jiang family was rich and powerful, he deliberately kept his daughter away from the Jiang family, for fear that she would pick up the bad habit of being arrogant and unrealistic.
A child with no one to rely on has to work hard on her own, and now her daughter is growing up quite well. Although she doesn't expect her to be rich and powerful, she certainly has the ability to support herself.
Just as the butler was lost in thought, the television was turned on, broadcasting news from the press conference.
He wasn't allowed to attend the press conference and waited in his car the whole time, so he was curious about what had happened that led to the Jiang family patriarch being taken away.
After witnessing the farcical press conference, the butler roughly understood that the Jiang family was in deep trouble.
But these two women are now focusing on which angle Jiang Xuanxuan looks better on camera.
"Sigh! It's time to retire! With a mistress like that in the Jiang family, I'm afraid they're doomed!" he thought to himself.
Jiang Jucai was invited to "drink tea" that day, and this "tea" lasted for three days.
Finally, three days later, the assistant paid bail and managed to get him released after much pleading.
When questioned by the bureau, they used a method of exhaustion. He hadn't washed up for three days, hadn't had a good night's sleep, and hadn't changed his clothes.
When he got home, his face was covered in stubble and oil, his suit and shirt were wrinkled, and there was a sweaty, sour smell under his armpits.
"Oh! You finally decided to come back? Look at yourself! Where have you been gallivanting off to? You're a disgrace!" Wang Xiuzhen mocked Jiang Jucai as soon as she saw him, showing no regard for the fact that Jiang Jucai had just endured a torment after leaving the police station.
Jiang Jucai is very tired now, both physically and mentally, and has no energy to pay attention to Wang Xiuzhen's nagging.
He changed his shoes, went straight into the bathroom, took a quick shower amidst Wang Xiuzhen's cursing, then went directly into the study, closed the door, and locked it.
The study was soundproof and included a small ensuite lounge. Jiang Jucai simply pulled back the covers and lay down.
He doesn't want to care about anything or hear anything right now; all he wants to do is sleep.
He slept soundly from evening until late the next day before he felt refreshed.
When I came out of the study, the room was very quiet. I asked the maid and found out that the noisy mother and daughter had gone out shopping to pick me up.
The mother and daughter were simply going shopping to splurge. But splurge is better than him getting a hard time.
After having some breakfast, Jiang Jucai returned to his study and called his assistant to arrange the follow-up.
There are many things to handle, many people to inform in advance, and many others to keep quiet.
His every move is now being watched, and he needs his assistant to handle things for him.
So when the mother and daughter came home and started arguing that he should fire his assistant, Jiang Jucai got angry and spoke very bluntly, which was unusual for him.
"Fire them? You two want the Jiang family to fall so you can work for a living and starve. Go ahead and fire them!"
After shouting this, Jiang Jucai slammed the door and went into his study.
"Xuanxuan! What does that old man mean? Has he rebelled? How dare he yell at me like that?" Wang Xiuzhen was truly something else; she immediately launched into a dramatic performance of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.
What?! "I don't want to live anymore! Ugh! I have to put up with all this mistreatment at home! I'm running away from home and dumping this heartless man!"
