Bang--!
The sudden gunshot made Luo Chen, who was rushing over, stop abruptly.
Looking up at the sixth floor.
Luo Chen's gaze sharpened, and he muttered to himself, "It seems I was right, the plot has moved up again."
Although I haven't figured out what's going on yet, the inexplicable sense of familiarity I felt earlier, and what's happening now, are all things that are going to happen in the main text.
In the main storyline.
The protagonist, Ye Feng, returns to the city and lives a low-key life. Due to a letter, he enters the Jiang family and becomes a live-in son-in-law.
As one of the local tyrants in Yan Province, the Jiang family's reputation and status are unmatched by anyone except the Ye family.
Suddenly, a son-in-law arrives at the door. Given the Jiang family's arrogance, they naturally respond with sarcasm and disdain, and the protagonist receives special treatment.
Because of this, Ye Feng's visit to the Jiang family was not very smooth, but because of the letter, Ye Feng stepped into the Jiang family's gate.
However, once the first hurdle is overcome, things will naturally not go smoothly afterward.
As the protagonist, he naturally suffers many misfortunes and everything goes wrong.
The stronger the halo, the stronger the hatred.
The letter that the Jiang family received did not initially name any woman in the Jiang family as the protagonist's wife.
You can choose from direct relatives or from collateral relatives.
The Jiang family did indeed have this idea: to randomly select a woman from a collateral branch of the Jiang family to be the protagonist's wife.
Although he was somewhat willful and reckless, what kind of status did the Jiang family have? Even if they were from a collateral branch with weak blood ties, those who bore the Jiang family name were all high-ranking figures in Yan Province.
This approach doesn't feel like an insult to the protagonist; on the contrary, it's considered a reward.
But before the matter could be settled, it was rejected by the head of the Jiang family.
At the same time, it was strictly stipulated that the person must be a member of the family.
As for the reason, the Jiang family head did not elaborate, and they dared not ask further.
The old man's prestige was like heaven in the Jiang family. Whatever the old man said, they had to do. No matter how much resentment they harbored, they could not disobey.
After the decision was made, no one dared to disobey the old man, so they chose from the family.
According to the old man, the people chosen cannot be chosen haphazardly.
One must have a certain social standing, as well as good looks and charisma.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, everyone understood who the old man wanted to marry the son-in-law.
—Jiang Xinyu!
She is the apple of the Jiang family's eye and the granddaughter most beloved by the old man.
Since birth, Jiang Xinyu has been the most prominent figure in the Jiang family.
He enjoyed the best treatment from a young age and was also protected by his grandfather.
No matter what Jiang Xinyu wants or does, she will not be held accountable.
Because of these things, everyone had already predicted them.
Jiang Xinyu is more likely to become the head of the Jiang family in the future.
Of course, Jiang Xinyu's appearance and temperament are also unique.
Although she is far inferior to Ye Xiaoli.
She was a rare beauty even within Yan Province.
She possesses all the qualities of status, position, beauty, and temperament.
Jiang Xinyu is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Faced with such a situation, Jiang Xinyu, who had developed a proud personality since childhood, would naturally be unwilling.
They forced her to marry a shameless, freeloading son-in-law.
This is undoubtedly a great humiliation.
What's the difference between this and marrying a beggar on the street?
Moreover, because of this incident, Jiang Xinyu received a lot of ridicule and silent mockery.
How could she, who had been proud since childhood, bear such humiliation?
So he told the old man about it.
In the past, the old man would have always felt sorry for his favorite granddaughter.
It's impossible for her to marry a man who lives with his wife's family.
If she used her usual techniques, the old man would definitely change his mind and have someone else do it.
However, things took an unexpected turn for the better.
Upon hearing Jiang Xinyu's words, the old man became very angry.
Moreover, this is the first time I've ever been this angry.
His face was ashen, his expression cold, and he looked furious.
It really terrified people.
Not only was Jiang Xinyu shocked, but everyone else who knew about this also found it unbelievable and couldn't understand it at all.
I don't understand why the old man suddenly became so insistent on making Jiang Xinyu marry a useless son-in-law.
Jiang Xinyu made a huge fuss about this, cried, and even went on a hunger strike.
Even after the old man found out, he didn't soften his heart.
Desperate and receiving no help, Jiang Xinyu slowly accepted this reality.
However, no one expected that a new path would open up before them.
The old man suddenly fell seriously ill because of Jiang Xinyu's matter and was bedridden.
The decision-making power of the Jiang family was given to Jiang Xinyu's father.
After all, he was the old man's own son. When the old man was in power, Jiang Xinyu's father had already begun to get involved in managing the family business.
Train the future head of the family in advance to improve their adaptability and decision-making abilities.
Of course, the worst-case scenario is...
If the old man were to suddenly die, the Jiang family would lose its leader and fall into chaos, undoubtedly plunging the Jiang family into a great crisis.
However, this decision was good.
No one expected that the usually healthy old man would suddenly fall seriously ill, bedridden, and unable to speak.
If it weren't for prior preparations, the Jiang family would probably have lost their composure.
Jiang Xinyu's father temporarily took over and managed all affairs of the Jiang family.
Thanks to the old man's guidance, Jiang Xinyu's father was not too difficult to manage.
Everything in the Jiang family remained largely unchanged, orderly and without any sense of disorder.
Seeing an opportunity, the desperate Jiang Xinyu begged her father, Jiang Zetian, to retract his words and not be so humiliated as to marry a useless son-in-law.
Jiang Zetian was initially unwilling, after all, it was the old man's order, and he could not disobey the old man's words.
Even the old man's son is not allowed.
When it comes to pampering, Jiang Zetian can't even compare to his own daughter, Jiang Xinyu.
Not to mention myself.
The old man fell ill, but he didn't die.
We might still be able to do things against the old man now, but he'll settle scores later when he recovers.
Jiang Zetian had no way to resist.
What if he loses his position as the head of the family because of this?
Putting aside the fact that he would be laughed at by other competitors, Jiang Zetian himself couldn't bear to lose the power that was almost in his hands because of this.
The happiness lies in whether one has control over the Jiang family or in their beloved daughter.
Jiang Zetian hesitated.
But before he could hesitate for long, the doctor in charge of treating the old man hurriedly informed Jiang Zetian of the unfortunate news.
The old man probably won't be able to hold on much longer.
Upon hearing this news...
Jiang Zetian didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
But there is no doubt about it.
My beloved daughter's happiness can change.
News spread that the old man was critically ill.
While the Jiang family members were filled with fear and worry, they were actually mostly relieved.
The old man has held absolute power for too long, suppressing everyone for many years.
Many things should not be done in excess.
It will also suppress their ideas.
This resulted in the Jiang family appearing united, but in reality, their morale had long been low.
Therefore, upon hearing such news, people were not actually very concerned about the old man's critical condition.
Aside from a few exceptions, most people were still thinking that since the old man wasn't going to live much longer anyway.
Is it possible for me to take the position of head of the Jiang family?
Of course, such a thing is just something to think about for now.
The old man seems to have passed away.
But Jiang Zetian is still around...
