Mike was surprised, "I rember that person isn’t even sixty yet." Good heavens.
"Has the Jiang Family learned about this news?" Mike thought that would make sense; otherwise, Young Master Jiang wouldn’t do sothing so absurd.
"No way, this hasn’t co out, how could you know?" After all, this concerns the health of a high-ranking leader, such matters wouldn’t be casually leaked.
"My old man is doing rehabilitation at that hospital."
"He’s been staying in that hospital for a long ti now." Suddenly, a high-ranking leader staying so long at a hospital, there must be an issue.
"Just now, my old man called and told about it." Ye Zhuo looked up at Mike.
Mike knew this matter was of significant importance; if it weren’t for his good relationship with Ye Zhuo, he would’ve never been inford of this.
Oh, oh, oh, Mike acknowledged, "Are you sure they won’t co after us?"
"He knows it’s hard to get information from us, so, of course, he’ll shift his focus."
"He’s also worried that if he targets us again, once I find out, it’ll be trouble for him."
Ye Zhuo said this, but he didn’t dare to gamble; after all, the Jiang Family sotis produces lunatics.
He made a call to Young Master Jiang, made so casual conversation, and then hung up.
Just after Young Master Jiang hung up the phone, his face turned grim, "Jiang Lili."
How could Young Master Jiang not be angry? Soone had assured him that Ye Zhuo wouldn’t find out, took a sum of money from him, then imdiately sold him out completely; how could he tolerate that?
Young Master Jiang was really getting angrier by the minute, "Do they really think I’m easy to bully?"
"This won’t do, I must retaliate." Young Master Jiang couldn’t deal with Ye Zhuo, but he didn’t believe he couldn’t handle Jiang Lili.
Obviously, as the eldest grandson of the Jiang Family, he was the one to take on the responsibility for Jiang Family’s future, but when it ca to dividing the inheritance, he got only a bit more than Jiang Lili.
He really couldn’t understand, the Old Master Jiang, who had been clever and capable all his life, actually favored the brainless Jiang Lili.
If it weren’t for Old Master Jiang spoiling her so much, could Jiang Lili compete with him?
This matter must be made known to the old man; he’s doing this for him, right? If this situation can be handled well, it could reverse the current awkward situation for the Jiang Family.
Not to say it’ll restore the Jiang Family to its forr glory, but at least it could stabilize the Jiang Family as a second-tier family.
But now everything’s ssed up, and he has no way to handle it.
After listening to his eldest grandson, Old Master Jiang stared at him for a long ti, "Are you really doing this for the Jiang Family?"
Young Master Jiang avoided the old man’s gaze, "If not for the Jiang Family, then who else am I doing it for?"
"You think by having Jiang Lili act, when Ye Zhuo finds out, you can just push Jiang Lili out to take the fall, and if worse cos to worst, there’s ."
"But have you considered how long Ye Zhuo has been in City S and how many tis he’s visited?" Old Master Jiang really didn’t think Ye Zhuo would spare the Jiang Family because of him.
"I, I don’t know." Young Master Jiang was a bit panicked, "Grandpa, didn’t you have a great relationship with his grandpa?" Right, everyone said they were close friends, "Have you ever seen friends who haven’t been in touch for years?" Old Master Jiang calmly asked back.
Not in touch? Young Master Jiang was left bewildered, looking at the confused eldest grandson in front of him, Old Master Jiang really didn’t know what to say, thinking that if the carefully educated eldest grandson was like this, what of the others?
Even if Old Master Jiang didn’t want to admit it, he had to recognize that the Jiang Family was truly finished, and once he passed away, the Jiang Family would completely decline.
As for the little sches his eldest grandson was plotting, Old Master Jiang knew he had his own ulterior motives. Maybe he was considering the Jiang Family a little, but not much; mostly, he was looking out for himself.
"If you have such thoughts, why don’t you know how to conceal them?" Already planning against people, don’t you know to keep secrets?
But then it got out, and even Ye Zhuo knew, if it weren’t his grandson, he’d really call him a fool and give up on cultivating this eldest grandson and focus on others instead.
But in his current condition, he simply couldn’t switch to cultivating soone else. What pained the old man more was that among the Jiang Family descendants, even taking the girls into account, not one showed any promise.
He didn’t expect them to be as accomplished as the descendants of the Ye Family, but at least they shouldn’t all be wastrels.
Hearing Old Master Jiang’s rebuke, instead of feeling worried, Young Master Jiang felt relieved. The old man scolding you ant there was still a chance; if he stopped scolding and started ignoring you, that would be the worst-case scenario.
"I didn’t expect Jiang Lili would do this; after taking a sum of money from , she actually told Ye Zhuo about this matter."
"I also want to find a reliable way, but I had no way of getting the information through other channels, so I had to turn to Jiang Lili." Young Master Jiang still felt quite aggrieved over this.
Old Master Jiang looked at his complaining grandson and sighed deeply, "Lili is unreliable, and this isn’t sothing new to you."
Knowing what the other person is like and still pinning hopes on such an unreliable person, he was truly at a loss for words.
Old Master Jiang’s intent was to tell his eldest grandson that in his actions, he didn’t seem to be using his brain, which led to the situation developing to this point.
But those words, landing in Young Master Jiang’s ears, turned into another instance where the old man was once more shielding Jiang Lili, causing his dissatisfaction with Old Master Jiang to soar again.
If not for knowing the old man’s usefulness while alive, he wouldn’t mind sending him off early.
Furthermore, he was clearly the eldest grandson of the Jiang Family, destined to take on all the responsibilities of the Jiang Family. Clearly, his uncles were all undependable people, disgracing the Jiang Family’s na outside and bringing many enemies upon the family, yet the old man still protected them.
The effort Old Master Jiang put into guiding Young Master Jiang, he had no idea that his eldest grandson was actually hoping for his early demise. If he knew, he probably would have spat blood and died.
After finally enduring Old Master Jiang’s lecture, Young Master Jiang slowly exited the old man’s room.
Just as he left the old man’s room, his expression imdiately turned sour. The old steward who accompanied him out noticed the change without any reaction.
Young Master Jiang knew the steward saw his expression change, but he didn’t care. In the future, he’d be the boss. This old relic, if he had any sense, would know what to do.
The old steward stood respectfully at the door, sending off Young Master Jiang, then stood there for a while before slowly returning to the old master’s room.
Just as he entered the room, "Has he left?"
The steward wasn’t surprised the old man hadn’t rested yet, "He’s gone."
Old Master Jiang sighed deeply; he hadn’t missed the sight of his eldest grandson’s distracted face while he was speaking earlier.
He didn’t want to get angry, but what would it help if he did? Could he educate them like before?
"Once I’m gone, you should leave too. Keep safe the things I’ve left for you." The old man closed his eyes to rest, as it had truly drained him just now.
