Xiao Chen and Jiang ng are having breakfast.
Jiang Yurong suddenly sent soone to find them.
"The Jiang Clan is holding a family eting. If you still consider yourselves part of the Jiang Clan, you must attend."
The visitor dropped a line and left.
Xiao Chen sneered, "Do they really think they’re big shots, always bossing around? We’re not going!"
He could already predict, bad things would happen if they went.
Jiang ng had the sa thought.
For Jiang ng, the only reason she hadn’t left the Jiang Clan yet was her father’s dying wish.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t want any connection to such a cold-hearted family.
But family is family, even if you don’t want to acknowledge them, they are still there.
Their absence made Jiang Yurong quite furious.
Left with no choice, the Jiang Clan ca to Longcheng.
"Let’s just see what they’re up to," Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"We can’t avoid them forever, they’ve co to Longcheng," Jiang ng said with a bitter smile, greeting Jiang Yurong and the others in the Xiao Residence’s hall.
The looks from Jiang Yurong and the others were so fierce that it seed they wanted to swallow Jiang ng whole.
Clearly, the Jiang Clan mbers had made Jiang ng their enemy, as if she had taken sothing from them.
Probably still brooding over the Dragon City Martial Arts Academy affair.
But soon, they perford the ultimate face-changing act.
Jiang Yurong smiled sweetly and said, "ng, you’ve worked hard lately. Great-grandma wants to talk to you, not for anything particular, just to check how your project is progressing.
After all, we’re all family; no need for formalities."
Jiang ng sighed, "Things are not looking good. Although construction has started, War God King tasked us with handling the academy’s curriculum design.
Without support from the Jianghu community, we can’t compile the teaching materials."
"Hehe, that’s normal. Your Xinng Group isn’t a sect, how could you get support from Jianghu people?"
"I’ve always said this project suits our Jiang Clan best. Xinng Group was overreaching, really biting off more than it can chew."
...
Jiang ng initially thought these people had genuinely started caring about her.
Who knew that speaking honestly just attracted ridicule and sarcasm.
Her expression turned gloomy, but she had to admit, they weren’t wrong—Xinng Group indeed had little contact with Jianghu.
In this era, they were sowhat left behind.
She had no idea her husband, Xiao Chen, was the Mo Sect Master.
Jiang Yurong shot a glance and said, "Everyone, hush. This is family business, why are you laughing? Now that ng is facing difficulties, we should actively help.
Jiang ng, Great-grandma has decided to help you with this matter!
Need to find Jianghu people and get those martial arts manuals—Great-grandma has a way, she’ll make it happen!"
"Wow, is the sun rising from the west? Why are you suddenly so keen on this matter? Go ahead, what’s the catch?"
Xiao Chen said with a grin.
This family has such goodwill?
Who’d believe that!
At any rate, he wasn’t buying it.
"Xiao Chen, don’t say that. Of course, there are conditions. We’ve drawn up a contract; take a look!"
Without beating around the bush, Jiang Yurong gestured, and Jiang Cheng handed over a contract.
Jiang ng glanced at the contract and couldn’t help but sneer.
This was no contract, it was opportunistic extortion.
According to the contract, the Jiang Clan could help complete the matter.
But Xinng Group would have to swap for 20% of its shares.
What a joke.
Xinng Group’s shares aren’t just handed out!
Xinng Group wasn’t publicly listed; shares belonged to family only and could never be taken by outsiders.
If two-tenths were given to the Jiang Clan, trouble would arise; those shares would play a critical role in the company’s operations.
The Jiang Clan’s greedy intentions were clear.
"Jiang ng, don’t be mad. You should know, if the project fails, you’ll breach the contract, lose not only money.
But the worst thing is, you’ll offend War God King, which could even lead to Xinng Group’s collapse.
But if the contract is signed, the project will be completed as planned.
Though you lose 20% of the shares, isn’t Xinng Group still part of our Jiang Clan?
Keep it within the family."
Jiang Yurong smiled lightly, "Do you really think you can solve the problem quickly?"
This ti, Elder Bai Yuchen personally found her and assured her Jiang ng couldn’t complete the task.
So she felt very confident.
If it was Jiang Tiande, that might be unreliable, but Elder Bai Yuchen was influential in Tianxia Society.
His words were absolutely credible.
Jiang Tiande also said smiling, "Jiang ng, it’s only because we’re family that we’re asking for two-tenths of shares. If it were soone else, the demand would be uglier."
"Tiande, don’t push them too hard. Let’s give them so ti to think it over; this isn’t an easy decision to make."
Jiang Yurong rose with a smile, "Let’s go! Ti to visit the Beiqi Ancient Clan!"
Since they were in Longcheng, they had to visit the Beiqi Ancient Clan.
After they left, Jiang ng slamd the table angrily.
Even she didn’t expect the table to break upon impact.
She was startled.
Only then did she realize just how powerful she had beco.
Unconscious cultivation had astonishing effects.
"Honey, don’t be angry. It’s pointless to fret over those shaless people," Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"But they were right; I really am facing difficulties," Jiang ng said with a bitter smile.
"What’s the difficulty? Would you believe your husband can summon an army with just one arrow? Leave it to ," Xiao Chen said with a smile. "I thought it was sothing serious."
"Really?" Jiang ng asked.
"When have I ever lied to you? Just focus on other work; I’ll handle this!"
Xiao Chen smiled, "As for the Jiang Clan, don’t rush to refuse them. Let them be happy for a few days."
"You’re so bad, honey," Jiang ng said with a bitter smile.
"n need a touch of bad to be loved by won!" Xiao Chen smiled, turned, and left.
...
In the following days, Jiang ng devoted all her enthusiasm to other work.
Dragon City Martial Arts Academy’s construction progress was very fast, and the quality was guaranteed.
As for writing materials and hiring instructors, Xiao Chen took care of it all.
Because she trusted her husband.
Whenever her husband took on sothing, it was flawlessly handled, so she didn’t worry at all.
The day passed.
Xiao Chen had already wrapped everything up.
The Jiang Clan probably thought there was no progress, so they ca again.
