Jiang Yongli listened to these words, her gaze flickering slightly, but she didn’t immediately respond.
Jiang Yongxing sensed the atmosphere was somewhat stifling. He laughed and said, "We’ve all been up for the entire night, everyone’s tired. Brother, you should rest well. With so many people around here... it’s bound to disturb you."
Everyone nodded in agreement, echoing in unison, "Yes, Yongxing is right, we need to rest."
"Absolutely, we can’t all crowd around ."
Jiang Yongxing nodded to his wife, and waved to Jiang Yongheng, "Then we’ll be going first, brother?"
"Okay, go back, everyone has worked hard!"
Jiang Yongli stood silently in her spot, watching everyone leave, feeling a surge of inexplicable sorrow in her heart. Although she was loathed to admit it, she seemed to have begun to understand that rebuilding the family required a long time, and the urgency was to unite and work together.
Past issues indeed should be let go.
If the elder brother had not woken up and had departed from this world, she would definitely have been very sad. After all, blood was thicker than water among siblings.
"What are you standing around for? Come sit down. Here, sit next to your brother."
Jiang Yongli nodded and slowly sat down.
"Brother, I know you’re still ill, and some things... are indeed a bit inappropriate to discuss, but the second brother and the rest are out of good options."
"Say what you want... just speak."
"I’ve contacted someone who is willing to help you and second brother out of this predicament, to rebuild the Jiang Family."
"Wang Junchen, right?"
"Brother, how did you know?"
"He had looked for me before. He wants us to become subcontractors. Actually... it’s not unfeasible! I had just acquired a factory at the beginning of the year; we can utilize it, a ready-made production line. However, if he thinks of... dragging us into a market fight with Yishen Group or becoming enemies with the Leng Family, that would be inappropriate!"
Jiang Yongheng’s mind was racing swiftly, even just after waking up, his thoughts were so clear, which left Jiang Yongli both shocked and admiring.
"That’s exactly what he means."
"So, it’s no good... We have some connections with the Leng Family; we can’t be so ruthless in business."
Jiang Yongli bitterly smiled and said, "You weren’t like that before... Never mind, let’s not talk about the past! This time, you and second brother have encountered such a severe financial rupture and have lost the assets our father left behind. Let’s not mention the Leng Family for now; did Leng Jiangping ever lend you a hand?"
Indeed, the Jiang and Leng families were once close friends, but now, that relationship had somewhat weakened.
But who could be blamed for that? It was none other than her own disgraceful daughter, Jiang Kexin, shamelessly harassing Leng Lingxiao, repeatedly running to the Leng Family, bribing the Leng’s servants for information.
And all of this was something Madam Leng found extremely objectionable. What else could be done when the other party was avoiding her?
"If it wasn’t for Leng Jiangping’s secret assistance, do you think I could lie here in peace? The bank people would have probably..."
"It’s Leng Jiangping?"
"I’m not confused; I can tell the good from the bad. There are things you don’t know about, so don’t meddle."
"Fine, even if it is Leng Jiangping... but what about his son, Leng Lingxiao? Ke Xin ran to Chicheng over and over, and he wouldn’t even grant her an audience. Don’t you think that’s a bit too heartless? He has the money to acquire this, acquire that, but he just won’t lend you a hand!"
"Do you know, what Ke Xin has done? She actually spent money to hire underworld thugs with the intent to harm Ling Xiao’s newlywed wife. As a result, she encountered a bad crowd in a bar, met with human traffickers, and that’s how she gambled away her... decency."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yongli was immediately stunned.
The human trafficking ordeal she had indeed heard from her niece, Jiang Kexin, and had even thought of seeking revenge in the future, but Kexin hiring someone to harm Ling Xiao’s wife was something she was not aware of.
"There’s no evidence, I don’t believe it."
"Ke Xin told me herself, and that’s why we had a huge argument."
"But even so, she’s gone, her reputation is ruined, I must find that lame man and seek revenge for Ke Xin; can’t let her be harmed by someone in vain, when she was still so..." The source of this content ɪs novel⁂fire.net
Jiang Yongli broke down in tears, unaware of the deep pain and remorse filling Jiang Yongheng’s heart. He shouldn’t have said harsh words in a moment of impulsivity.
So, he closed his eyes and interrupted, "Yongli, I’m tired, I want to sleep."
Hearing this, Jiang Yongli quickly got up.
She gently pulled the curtains mostly closed, then put her cell phone on silent.
Regarding the collaboration with Wang Junchen and transitioning to subcontracting, she was not ready to give up just yet. After a moment of contemplation, she excused herself to get cotton swabs from the nurse’s station and left the room full of thoughts.
Jiang Yongli stopped at the end of the corridor, took a deep breath, and began to organize her thoughts.
