The old master’s butler heard the order but didn’t want to dirty his hands, so he called in the bodyguards.

When the two bodyguards heard that they were throwing Tang Beibei out, they both looked at Jiang Jingchen with fear.

What if the first young master ordered his assistant to attack them? Song Zhou stabbed their colleague without even blinking. He was cruel and ruthless.

As soon as the two of them approached Tang Beibei, Song Zhou went forward and shielded Tang Beibei. The two bodyguards stopped in their tracks.

Song Zhou said, “Our young madam didn’t give you permission to approach her. Are you courting death?”

The two bodyguards didn’t dare to speak. Jiang Minglang couldn’t take it anymore and shouted at Song Zhou, “It was my father’s order. Song Zhou, you’re just my big brother’s butler. How dare you disobey my father’s orders?”

Song Zhou looked at Jiang Minglang indifferently, “I wouldn’t dare but I work for the first young master. I only listen my young master’s orders. If my young master didn’t say anything, no one can touch my young madam!”

Song Zhou understood his young master’s attitude towards Tang Beibei. Even if Tang Beibei had an affair, the only one who could teach her a lesson was his young master.

If anyone else touched her, it was contempt and provocation to his young master!

Jiang Jingchen coughed a few times and looked at Jiang Minglang with his cold black eyes. “Since you don’t welcome my wife, I’ll also leave.”

Jiang Jingchen turned his wheelchair around, ready to leave. Tang Beibei was touched by his words and quickly went to help him.

“Stop!” Old Master Jiang shouted angrily. “Jiang Jingchen, what nonsense are you saying? You’re not just a guest at the Jiang residence. This is also your home!”

Jiang Jingchen chuckled coldly with his back to Old Master Jiang, his eyes mocking.

“My home? Have you seen people being searched before they entered their homes? My wife and I are family, but you called her an outsider. You’re treating me like an outsider!”

Old Master Jiang was stunned for a few seconds when he heard his son’s rebuttal.

Jiang Jingchen was gentle since young. He was an obedient and smart kid who learned everything quickly. Old Master Jiang had high hopes for his eldest son.

He gave Jiang Jingchen a good learning environment and hoped that he would succeed in his studies and take over the Jiang family business one day.

However, his hopes were shattered when his son met with a car accident when he was seventeen. He was very disappointed and started to neglect Jiang Jingchen.

Recently when Jiang Minglang told him that his brother had returned to the country and might not live for long. As Jiang Jingchen’s younger brother, Jiang Minglang wanted to find him a wife, as a way to bring him some joy.

Perhaps his condition would improve with such a happy occasion.

But a few days after the marriage was arranged, Jiang Minglang told him that the bride had been replaced by a scheming woman, and that this woman was still fooling around with other men at school. This woman would tarnish the Jiang family reputation so she couldn’t stay.

Therefore, when he saw Jiang Jingchen order his subordinate to protect this woman, he was very unhappy.

Now that he heard his son refute him, he was very angry.

“You are sick but your personality has become a lot tougher. Jiang Jingchen, how dare you talk back to me for a woman!”

Jiang Jingchen looked at his father indifferently. “I’m not talking back. I’m just speaking the truth!”

“Father, there will only be one woman in my life and that’s Tang Beibei. If you don’t respect me, there is no point in me staying. When I die, she will come and collect my body. You don’t have to trouble yourself.”

“B*stard, she’s not a good woman. You!”

“Whether she’s good or not, I have the final say. Goodbye!”

Jiang Jingchen asked Tang Beibei to push him out. Tang Beibei looked at Old Master Jiang one last time and quickened her pace.

“Jiang Jingchen, I’m your father. You want to sever all ties with me for a woman. Do you know the price you will have to pay?” Old Master Jiang roared.

The price wasn’t just to leave the Jiang residence, but also to receive nothing from the Jiang family.

However, Jiang Jingchen didn’t care about any of that!

Seeing Jiang Jingchen leave without hesitation, Old Master Jiang was so angry that he smashed another teacup.

The teacup crashed at Jiang Minglang’s feet, and he almost jumped up in shock.

He didn’t expect Jiang Jingchen to be so unyielding that he would cut off all ties with the Jiang family just to protect Tang Beibei.

He was a cripple. How was he going to live without support from the Jiang family?

Wasn’t it suicide?

The butler was also frightened by the tense atmosphere. The first young master was too impudent this time that he made the old master so angry!

However, he couldn’t weigh in about the conflict between the father and son. As a subordinate, he could only comfort the old master.

“Old master, don’t be angry. It’s not worth it to ruin your health with anger. Maybe the first young master said that to test the woman? To see if she would still stay by his side if he’s no longer the first young master of the Jiang family?”

“Hmph! He’s just so bold now, to actually dare to talk back to me!”

Old Master Jiang would never allow his sons to contradict him as it would hurt his authority.

The butler didn’t dare to say anything. The old master forced the first young master to divorce his wife because of a few words from the second young master. It was a bit too much.

The first young master was already a cripple and had so many scars on his face. What girl would want to marry him?

The butler sighed in his heart as he looked at the second young master who was sitting on the side sofa.

It wasn’t uncommon for brothers of prominent families to complete with each other, but the second young master still wouldn’t let the first young master off when the first young master was already like that. It was too much!

“Cut Jiang Jingchen off financially now!” The old master roared.

Jiang Minglang was overjoyed. This was an unexpected surprise. Jiang Jingchen had always put on an air of superiority. Now, he would have a taste of being plunged into poverty.

However, Jiang Minglang didn’t dare to let on his secret joy.

“Father, that’s a little harsh. Big brother is already sick and disabled. How is he going to live if you cut him off financially?”

“Well, he asked for it. I used my resources to find him the best medical care. I don’t know how much money I’ve spent on him every year, but he had the gall to defy me for a woman.”

“If he knows what’s good for him and apologizes to me, I’ll give him the money!”

Old Master Jiang didn’t think that he did anything wrong. Instead, he felt that Jiang Jingchen should be more sensible and contented after he became a disabled man. He should focus on his recuperation instead of making trouble.

However, Tang Beibei was an accident. She was a promiscuous woman who dared to trick Jiang Jingchen. As Jiang Jingchen’s father, he helped Jiang Jingchen put her in her place and forced them to get a divorce, but Jiang Jingchen didn’t appreciate his efforts.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He said to his butler, “Send someone to keep an eye on Tang Beibei. If she doesn’t repent and continues to ruin Jiang Jingchen’s reputation, find a way to make her leave Jiang Jingchen.”

“Yes, old master.”

The butler heard the old master’s softened tone and figured that the old master was just acting out of spite. He would never give up on Jiang Jingchen. After all, they were father and son.

The car accident back then, in fact, could not be blamed on the first young master…

Old Master Jiang turned around and was about to go upstairs when he saw Jiang Minglang sitting on the sofa. He chuckled and said, “You are the one who arranged your brother’s marriage. You should reflect on your own actions!”

Jiang Minglang quickly stood up as he was suddenly scolded. He lowered his head and admitted his mistake, “I will, father.”

“Stop meddling in your brother’s affairs. Focus on doing your job well. If you don’t produce some results soon, the Board of Directors will not respect you.” The old master was furious.

Although his first son was talented, he was disabled. His second son had all four limbs, but he wasn’t very smart. Even he wasn’t impressed with his second son’s performance at work.

Now, he could only pin his hopes on his fourth son, who was still studying abroad. He hoped that he would come back after graduation and make a difference.

…

When Tang Beibei got into the car outside the Jiang residence, she noticed that her husband’s face was colder than before and wanted to explain the matter again.

She heard his cold voice before she could open her mouth.

“We’ll talk when we get home!”

“…”

Tang Beibei felt a lump in her throat. Her heart also palpitated at the sound of his cold voice.
