Chapter 167: Brother-in-law, you still have me!
Just then, Jiang Zhengguo appeared and angrily said, "What are you doing?"
"Your good son and this playboy are trying to seduce my daughter and my son-in-law into divorcing me. If I don't teach them a lesson, they'll really think they can just play with my daughter!"
Jiang Zhengguo looked at Jiang Che, his brows furrowing even more.
"This is none of your business. Go back."
Jiang Zhengguo was extremely disappointed in his son, Gu Xunjing. He regretted taking him out of the orphanage in the first place, knowing he was such a good-for-nothing; he had caused constant chaos in their family.
"Dad, where do you want my brother to go back to?"
At this moment, Jiang Che had already left the Jiang family.
Jiang Zhengguo did not answer Jiang Qianhui's question, but instead looked at Gu Xunjing and said.
"Young Master Gu, I'm sorry you had to see this."
In Yang Huirong's eyes, Gu Xunjing was a playboy, a good-for-nothing spoiled brat, and now this man had made her daughter his target.
She was furious because she felt she had gotten tired of other women and had set her sights on her daughter. She didn't care that Gu Xunjing was the eldest son of the Gu Group. Jiang Zhengguo, on the other hand, was a businessman who still had to maintain a polite facade. Gu Xunjing was the eldest son of the Gu Group, and they shouldn't offend him.
Gu Xunjing knew that although Jiang Zhengguo was only polite to him on the surface, his future father-in-law treated him much better than his mother-in-law.
This is a good thing no matter how you look at it.
"President Jiang, there's no need for an apology. I understand Mrs. Jiang's feelings. To her, I am indeed inferior to Zhan Yanxun. He took over the Zhan Group much earlier, while I have simply lived a carefree life according to my own ways without taking on the responsibilities I should have. So in Mrs. Jiang's eyes, I am just a playboy, but I do not admit to being a womanizer. Those news reports are all untrue. As for my abilities, I will prove to you in the future that I am no less capable than Zhan Yanxun."
Gu Xunjing's words left Jiang Zhengguo somewhat bewildered. He looked at Gu Xunjing, then at his daughter Jiang Qianhui.
What's going on now?
Although Yang Huirong was somewhat moved by Gu Xunjing's words, she immediately regained her senses.
"Don't even think about trying to seduce my daughter. It's no use saying anything. You're not welcome here."
"Please don't be angry, I'll leave. Time will tell."
Gu Xunjing said to Jiang Qianhui, "My brother-in-law and I are leaving first. Remember, nothing else matters. The most important thing is that you are happy."
Jiang Che didn't know Gu Xunjing well, nor did he know whether Gu Xunjing was an ally or not, but he agreed with what Gu Xunjing said.
Nothing else matters, his sister's happiness is the most important thing.
"Mr. Jiang, we'll be leaving now."
After Gu Xunjing and Jiang Che left, Jiang Zhengguo asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Yang Huirong burst into a tirade: "That young master Gu, why are you being so polite to him? He's tired of playing around with other women, and now he's set his sights on our daughter, even encouraging her to divorce Zhan Yanxun. And now this silly girl is actually thinking about it. She's even bringing up divorce with Zhan Yanxun. Do you think they're deliberately trying to drive me crazy?"
"Sui Sui, are you and Yan Xun getting a divorce?"
Jiang Qianhui: "..." Here we go again?
"Dad, I'm a little tired, I want to rest."
Jiang Qianhui no longer wanted to explain, because she knew that her mother did not know what happened in the previous life. In her eyes, Zhan Yanxun was a responsible and excellent son-in-law, and she simply could not accept that she was divorcing Zhan Yanxun.
No matter how many explanations she gave, it was all in vain.
Yang Huirong persisted, "Sui Sui, do you think you can escape the problem by sleeping? Sui Sui, let me tell you, I won't allow you to divorce Zhan Yanxun. If you dare to divorce Zhan Yanxun and then get together with that playboy, I'll kill myself right now."
Yang Huirong was extremely agitated and threatened to jump off the building.
Jiang Zhengguo, of course, kept holding onto Yang Huirong. Jiang Qianhui felt even more pained when she saw her mother making a fuss about committing suicide. The feeling of being strangled with a rope and being powerless to resist made her feel suffocated and in pain.
Jiang Zhengguo said angrily, "What are you making a scene about? Why are you making a scene in front of our daughter? Don't you know that this will make her very sad?"
"As a mother, how could I not feel heartbroken to watch my daughter divorce her husband because she was deceived by a playboy, and potentially fall into an abyss of no return?"
"Can you calm down? She's our daughter, the daughter we raised ourselves. Don't you know that? She's been so outstanding since she was little, and she's never caused us any trouble. Do you think she would make the wrong decision?"
"She's always been so obedient since she was little, but now she's been completely fooled by you, her illegitimate son, and that man surnamed Gu. How can I not be filled with hatred and grit my teeth?"
Yang Huirong yelled at Jiang Qianhui like a madwoman.
"As long as I live, you are not allowed to divorce Zhan Yanxun. That was a trap set by the illegitimate child; he deliberately wants to harm you."
Looking at the hysterical Yang Huirong, Jiang Zhengguo said regretfully, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought Jiang Che back from the orphanage. Our family wouldn't be like this, and you wouldn't have become so extreme."
At that moment, they didn't know that Jiang Che hadn't left, but was standing at the door when he heard his father's words.
At that moment, my numb heart was stabbed again.
How much he longed for family in the orphanage, how much he longed for his parents to accept him. Finally, his father came to take him away. He had a home now, a sister now, but... he was just an extra person, someone who shouldn't have been there and didn't deserve to be in that family.
Suddenly, someone put their arm around his shoulder.
"Brother-in-law, you still have me, and you still have your sister who cares about you the most in the world! You have family!"
It's Gu Xunjing!
Jiang Che shoved Gu Xunjing away and said fiercely, "You are not good enough for my sister."
"I know, but I will try my best."
Jiang Che looked at Gu Xunjing with disdain, and Gu Xunjing said pitifully, "Brother-in-law, please don't look at me with such disdain, it will make me lose confidence."
Even without confidence, he still pursued his beloved Sui Sui.
In the ward.
Yang Huirong hysterically yelled at Jiang Zhengguo: "But you still brought him back! You lied to me, you lied to me! He was just a child you adopted from the orphanage!"
I also dreamed of having both a son and a daughter, and I truly considered him my own son. I used to think I was very happy. My husband didn't have any preference for sons over daughters; he loved me and my daughter, and now I had an adopted son. I had both a son and a daughter, but in the end, I discovered it was all a lie. I was actually the most ridiculous joke in the world.
