Jiang Conghe saw Jiang Dafang’s pale face and smiled slightly, "Scared?"
Jiang Dafang pretended to wipe the imaginary sweat off his forehead and chuckled awkwardly, "I apologize for making you laugh. It’s just that I’ve never seen such large transactions, this..."
"Sit!" Jiang Conghe put the ledger back in the safe and locked it, then sat down and said, "Do you know how Old Master Loo developed the Loo family from a simple peddler to today? Besides a little luck, it was really through cunning, and more importantly, through courage and boldness!"
As he said this, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes, "The Old Master Loo is an incredibly daring person. There is nothing he wouldn’t dare to do, only things he hasn’t thought of. And precisely because of this, the Loo family has advanced step by step to where they are today."
As Jiang Dafang listened, a trace of ridicule appeared in his heart. Of course, he even dared to help his daughter snatch soone else’s husband, so what’s there that he wouldn’t dare?
"People, they must have courage and boldness, Dafang, rember, those who are bold have one more chance than others. To gather wealth, you must seek it among risks. This is also when courage is tested," Jiang Conghe said, "Actually, if it weren’t absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t want you involved in this business!"
"Why?"
"Because you are my son!" Jiang Conghe looked at him and said, "And this is an affair where if you’re not careful, you could lose your head."
Jiang Dafang was stunned, and lowered his eyes, "The Loo family is the sa, it’s also your Yue family!"
"How can that be the sa? The Loo family is the Loo family, their last na is Loo, they can be used but cannot be fully trusted, after all, they’re not the sa last na. However, over these years, we can be said to have mutually exploited each other," Jiang Conghe sighed.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Dafang’s montary tenderness disappeared. This man remained inherently selfish. The Yue family bears the Loo na, yet it’s his wife’s family. Over these years, he rose thanks to her family, and now he says such things—how can that not chill one’s heart?
Thinking of his ruthlessness towards his own daughter makes it even more unacceptable.
"Dad, being an official, naturally thinks more than others!" Jiang Dafang thought for a mont and continued, "But, Dad doesn’t trust the Loo family, and the Loo family may not trust us either. After all, our surna is Jiang." Jiang Conghe was taken aback.
"What if they turn this around on Dad? Just like this ti, if it’s just a deceptive move, then..." Jiang Dafang hesitated, not saying more, this was also sothing Jiang Conghe had just reminded him of.
This ti, for transportation, the Loo family agreed so readily to let him help transport goods, supposedly because Jiang Conghe intervened. But he is an outsider, and especially the son of an ex-wife, would that old fox of the Loo family trust him so completely?
Seeing Jiang Conghe in deep thought, Jiang Dafang continued to instigate, "I’m not worried about anything else, just afraid we’ll be used as a tool for others. Dad, if I get unlucky, it’s nothing, at worst I’d be in for a few years. But you, you can’t afford the slightest negligence."
Jiang Conghe’s face gradually grew serious.
"It’s not that I don’t trust them, but as you know, my last na isn’t Loo, who knows how much they might hate ," Jiang Dafang laughed bitterly.
Jiang Conghe pursed his lips and said, "You’re right, the old master’s thoughts are always a bit more than others, we have to guard against him setting us up."
Jiang Dafang smiled; mistrust between you all is best, the chances for alliances will just beco fewer and fewer.
But will the Loo family really set them up?
