Duan Zhiwen knocked on the Jiang family's door, and a refined-looking noblewoman came out.
"Uncle Duan, you've arrived?" Jiang Jing's expression made no attempt to hide her surprise and joy: "You..."
"Come in and have a seat. We'll go to the Jiang family's old house to find my parents in a little while."
After Jiang Jingwen finished speaking, she invited the three of them into the house, and then gave a brief self-introduction to Shen Qianqian and Lu Yunzhi: "I am Jiang Jingwen, and I am Duan Zhuyu's good friend."
She and Duan Zhuyu were inseparable friends since childhood. Unfortunately, after she learned that Duan Zhuyu was with Shen Haoyu, the two had a big fight, and in a fit of anger, she obeyed her family's arrangement and went abroad to study.
When she returned to her hometown, her eldest brother had taken over the family business, leaving her with only a house in the suburbs.
Meanwhile, her best friend had also passed away, and she had been living alone in the suburbs for eight years, wallowing in despair.
“Qianqian was sent to the countryside at that time, and I heard about this at home. I felt that Shen Haoyu’s attitude was too strange. His unlimited tolerance for Shen Li made me re-examine the cause of Zhuyu’s death and his relationship with Bai Li.” As Jiang Jingwen spoke, she took out the evidence she had collected and organized over the years from her briefcase: “I cheered myself up and kept investigating the three of them, and in the end, I only got this much evidence.”
Duan Zhiwen took the evidence but didn't open it. Instead, he turned to Shen Qianqian and Lu Yunzhi.
He said, "Most of what I told you that day came from Jingwen. Of course, there's one more piece of news I haven't told you yet, which is—"
“Shen Li is about to marry Jiang An, the son of Jingwen’s older brother. If she really marries into the Jiang family, the Jiang family will probably protect her in order to safeguard their reputation and interests.”
Jiang Jingwen's face was full of disdain when she heard the name "Jiang An": "My eldest brother's good-for-nothing son has no sense of responsibility. He'll probably be the first to run away if anything happens. We can just go ahead and do what we want without worry."
Once Jiang An abandons the Shen family and manipulates Shen Haoyu, avenging Duan Zhuyu will be a piece of cake.
As for all of the Jiang family's businesses, Jiang Jing told her to believe that she would take them all back.
The four of them stayed at home for a while, and only after Jiang Jingwen received a call from the Jiang family's old residence did she lead the three of them to the old residence.
Inside the Jiang family's old house.
When Jiang's mother and father saw Jiang Jingwen bring Duan Zhiwen and the other two into the house, the displeasure in their eyes vanished in an instant.
“Jingwen, where did you spend those years cultivating your mind and spirit in the suburbs? Why do you still bother your mother and me with everything now?” Jiang’s father lowered his eyes, picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea: “We are getting old, and we can no longer interfere in family matters.”
Mr. Jiang meant that as a daughter of the Jiang family, receiving a house in the suburbs was already a great honor. As for wanting to interfere in the Jiang family business, that was simply wishful thinking.
The Jiang family business has always been passed down to one son.
Even if a daughter is more outstanding than a son, she would absolutely never pass on her talents!
"Dad, I didn't come here today to talk about these things." Jiang Jingwen's smile remained unchanged.
He pulled Duan Zhiwen to stand before Jiang's father and said, "Look, isn't this Uncle Duan back? I've been thinking you haven't seen each other in a long time."
"Oh, it's Old Duan back." Jiang's father waved his hand casually, gesturing for Duan Zhiwen to sit down: "These sofas and such are all imported from abroad. It won't be uncomfortable for us old folks to sit on them."
Jiang's father's words carried a clear sense of pride. He couldn't compare to the Duan family when he was young, but now that he's old, he never expected to surpass them.
The blame lies with Duan Zhiwen for not having a son, and for handing over all the family business to a good-for-nothing son-in-law who doesn't know how to manage things and only cares about cultivating relationships and taking advantage of the chaos.
Duan Zhiwen pretended not to notice the sarcasm in Jiang's father's words and said cheerfully, "I just heard that Shen Hao's adopted daughter is going to marry into your Jiang family."
Duan Zhiwen cut to the chase, saying, "I happen to have something here. I wonder if you, Lao Jiang, would still be willing to give me this favor?"
Although Jiang's father looks down on the Duan family now, he still has to put on a show.
He took the paper Duan Zhiwen handed him. His expression changed when he flipped to the first page. It was filled with details of all the messes Shen Li had made over the years, including her experiences of fooling around outside.
How could a woman like that even want to marry into the Jiang family?
Is this how Boss Jiang helped Jiang An find a wife?
Jiang's father was immediately filled with only these two questions, but he maintained his composure: "It's just a bunch of worthless papers. Who knows if the information inside is true?"
"Whether the news is true or not, let's put that aside for now," Duan Zhiwen continued, "but some things need to be prevented and controlled as soon as they show signs, don't you think?"
"What do you mean?" Jiang's father asked, frowning.
"Dad, thanks to Shen Haoyu's deliberate guidance, everyone in the city probably knows that Jiang An and Shen Li are together," Jiang Jing reminded him.
“Yes.” Duan Zhiwen first affirmed what Jiang Jingwen said, and then added, “However, Shen Li’s matter will probably become the talk of the town soon. How to handle it will depend entirely on whether you, Old Jiang, are really too old and powerless.”
"I hope the Jiang family's legacy won't be ruined in your generation."
Duan Zhiwen left with his last words, then prepared to depart with Shen Qianqian and Lu Yunzhi.
Before leaving, Jiang's father reluctantly called out to Duan Zhiwen: "Aren't you afraid of your Duan family's foundation?"
"So, the business is ruined because of you? The Shen family's current assets were all inherited from your Duan family."
"You said it yourself, now it's called the 'Shen Family,' not the 'Duan Family' anymore." Duan Zhiwen's tone...
