445 Chapter 445-holding power for self-protection

Jiang Bai sat down at the side.

“What did aunt do?”

“your fifth uncle has a girlfriend. you know this too. Your aunt said that she wanted to give your fifth uncle a look to see if that girl was worthy of your fifth uncle. Where do you think your aunt’s confidence and confidence came from?” Jiang Dong was speechless.

“is aunt crazy?” jiang bai had thought that jiang yuxiao would be stupid, but he did not expect her to be so stupid. no wonder the young lady of the shi family did not hesitate to teach her a lesson.

“let’s not talk about her, she’s a terrible thing! your aunt received a call saying that something happened at her company the moment she got off the plane. what’s going on? your fifth uncle only said that he would give the kanuo family something to do, but he didn’t say anything about doing anything to your aunt’s company. your aunt’s small business, your fifth uncle doesn’t even bother to make a move.”

“It’s miss Shi. She seems to be deliberately letting people know that she was the one who did it. She specifically asked people to spread the news that she was the one who did it. i don’t know who she sent to do it, but i’m sure it wasn’t the shi family. i have a few people who don’t know that fifth uncle’s girlfriend is a friend of the shi family’s eldest daughter. they only know that it was fifth uncle’s girlfriend in haicheng who did it, and nothing else.”

Jiang Dong sat up straight, and his expression instantly became serious. “do you mean that the young lady of the shi family has her own people?”

Jiang Bai nodded.

“didn’t you say that she ran away from home after the conflict with the shi family? The rumors that she lived in the countryside all these years are not false, and there are traces to follow. Then where did she get the manpower?”

they all lived in the capital and were from big families. since they knew that shi yan was the eldest daughter of the shi family, it was impossible for them not to investigate why she had appeared in haicheng.

As long as someone investigated, they would be able to find some clues.

the fact that shi yan had run away from home after a conflict with her family had been known by a small number of people, including jiang dong and jiang bai.

However, as for the exact reason for the conflict, only the Shi family and the Xie family knew.

“dad, miss shi is still from the shi family, even though she was still young when she left. besides, she dared to run away from home at that age and the entire shi family couldn’t stop her. it’s enough to show that she has some ability.”

“she’s been away for many years, and she’s never appeared in the eyes of the world all these years. who knows what she’s done? And don’t forget, she’s someone that fifth uncle has his eyes on. do you think that the person that fifth uncle likes is just an ordinary female college student?”

“You’re not wrong,” Jiang Dong nodded in agreement.

“we only know that she was the one who did it, but we can’t find out who she sent.”

“Not bad.” Speaking of this, Jiang Bai sighed a little.

this was the capital, not any other place. there were capable people everywhere in the capital, but no one had been able to find out who shi yan had arranged to act on her behalf in the capital.

they didn’t know why shi yan would choose to leave the capital despite her peaceful life, nor did they know when she had left the capital. but they were certain that she had never returned after leaving the capital.

Then when did she arrange and manage the people she had left in the capital?

no one knew.

After a long time, Jiang Dong sighed with emotion,’I can only say that he’s indeed a child of the Shi family. the jiang family and the shi family don’t have much interaction, but it’s no secret in the capital that the children of the shi family are more outstanding than the other.”

“dad, auntie doesn’t know that fifth uncle’s girlfriend is the shi family’s daughter?”

“yes, there’s something wrong with your aunt’s brain. she grew up in the jiang family, married into the kano family, and lived for so long. she must have seen a lot of deception and deception, but she doesn’t even understand the simple truth of ‘rumors can not be believed’! she just believed whatever the outside world said. even now, she still thinks that miss shi is an orphan from the countryside without any family background!”

jiang dong had wanted to tell jiang yuxiao about shi yan’s background, but he was afraid of angering jiang che, so he held back.

there was a tacit rule in the circle that shi yan was the young lady of the shi family: whoever had the ability to find it would be the one to take it. if other people found it, if they were not family members or not particularly close, they would not mention it easily even when they chatted.

The reason was simple. They were all afraid of angering Jiang che.

thus, even now, there were still very few people in the capital who knew of shi yan’s past.

Jiang Dong had gotten the news from Jiang Bai, who had personally gone to sea city for a few days. In addition, he had always been close to Jiang Yun, so Jiang Yun would share any important news with him.

“Speaking of which, it seems that this miss Shi was involved in the Liu family’s incident last time. At that time, I thought that old fifth had sent someone to do it in her name to support her. now it seems that she used her own men at that time.”

I don’t have much contact with miss Jiang, but Yun ‘er has been with her for some time. From Yun’ er’s description of her, this miss Shi is not someone who will take advantage of others ‘power to put up a strong front, even if that person is her boyfriend. Jiang Bai said.

From the very beginning, he didn’t think that Shi Yan had anything to do with the Liu family’s incident after his great aunt went to Haicheng to cause trouble.

shi yan had arranged for someone to attack the liu family.

“whether or not it was your fifth uncle who helped miss shi last time, the rumor that miss shi was involved in the liu family’s mishap is always true. your aunt often goes to talk to your aunt in the capital. didn’t she hear about it?”

“Who knows? even if they heard about it, they probably wouldn’t take it to heart. Fifth uncle had raised the Jiang family’s status too high, and some people were used to enjoying and fawning over them. They always felt that they were very impressive while others were scum, and they always looked down on others. they don’t know that without fifth uncle, the jiang family is no longer what it used to be. now, even some families who used to live under the jiang family’s nose dare to show them attitude, and they still don’t know how to reflect on themselves!”

“Forget it, let’s not talk about them. We’ll just do our own thing. If there’s really something, it’s good that we can do it alone. This time, aunt’s company is in trouble, so I’m afraid she’ll come to the Jiang family for help. Dad, I’ll sign you and mom up for a tour group, and you can go abroad with the tour group for a while.”

Jiang Dong’s eyes lit up and he praised,”son, you’re smart!” this way, i won’t have to be troubled when your aunt comes to ask for help. quickly go and make the arrangements!”

” by the way, little yu and shasha also went to see your fifth uncle at the jiang family in haicheng. the siblings don’t look as simple as they look! ”

“Dad, why do you say that?”

Jiang Yu and Jiang Shasha were publicly acknowledged to have no ambitions and didn’t have much of a presence in the Jiang family. He had never paid much attention to the siblings.

It didn’t matter if they liked to educate people or if they liked to dedicate themselves to painting for the sake of art. As long as they didn’t cause trouble, everything was fine.

this was the attitude of many people in the jiang family toward the two siblings.

I can’t put my finger on it. It’s just a feeling. Anyway, you should stay at home alone and be on guard against those two.

“i know, dad. don’t worry.”

“by the way, dad, when i sign you and mom up, do you want to sign up for fourth uncle too?”

“no need. Yun ‘er has just joined the company, and given your fourth uncle’s pampering attitude towards his daughter, it’s impossible for him to leave Yun’ er behind and go on a trip alone.”

“you don’t have to worry too much. your fourth uncle has never been kind to your aunt. even if your aunt begs him, he will be able to deal with it.”

if your aunt looks for you, you can just reject her on the grounds that you’re a junior and don’t dare to offend your fifth uncle. Since Yun ‘er has entered the company, as her brother, you should help her more and help her gain a foothold in the company as soon as possible.

“I can’t say for sure about other things, but with Yun ‘er’s intelligence, if you give her a chance to enter the company, she’ll definitely do better than you, her brother, even if it’s not very good. you don’t have any business talent to begin with, and when i let you into the company, it was like forcing a duck into the frame.”

jiang bai,”yingluo.”

He didn’t have to be so direct.

it’s all our fault that the third and fourth branches are short in manpower. The elders of our two branches can’t bear to let Yun ‘er suffer in the company, so we can only push you up.

jiang bai,”yingluo.”

He didn’t want to talk anymore.

his dream was to eat and wait for death. he didn’t want to work in the company at all, and he didn’t want to get involved in these schemes.

Back then, he had also resisted for his dream.

” dad, the jiang family is in a really bad situation right now. only fifth uncle’s return can change the situation. are we really not going to invite fifth uncle back? ”

“If we go and invite him, will your fifth uncle come back? He will listen to us?”

“no,” jiang bai choked.

“that’s it. you know he won’t come back, so why did you go and touch that bad luck? If your fifth uncle was really angered, would you be the one to calm his anger? If they still want to fight when the Jiang family is already in this state, then let them fight. If they really fight until the Jiang family is gone, we won’t starve to death. Why do we have to worry so much?”

“Speaking of which, your fourth uncle and I do not place much importance on these. Your fifth uncle has left and only the first household and second household are left. One do not know what they are fighting for and they do not find it tiring to fight all day. Look at how good the Shi family is. Their business is not as big as the Jiang family’s, but their status is unshakeable, because no one in the Shi family values power. The brothers are harmonious, and everything will prosper in the family.”

“the deep-rooted views passed down in the family can’t be changed so easily. Besides, if you and fourth Uncle don’t value these things, no one would believe you! If they want to guard against you, you will have a lot of trouble; they’re looking for trouble, and you’re definitely not willing to sit around and get beaten up. it’s normal for you to fight like this.”

“If you and fourth uncle were to leave the company cleanly and leave everything to the first and second branch, you wouldn’t be willing either, right?”

jiang dong glared at him,”you brat, what are you saying?” you say it like your dad is pretending to be noble and virtuous! is it because your fourth uncle and i can’t bear to leave? we can’t leave! if we really leave and hand over the jiang family to the first branch and second branch, do you believe that in less than a year, the jiang family will have nothing to do with the capital?”

“and your eldest uncle even dared to take your fifth uncle’s life. can you guarantee that if we really don’t have any power in our hands, your eldest uncle will let us go?”

At this point, Jiang Dong seemed to sigh.

He wouldn’t! big uncle will cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!

jiang bai was certain in his heart.

” sometimes, holding power in one’s hands doesn’t mean that one admires power. it’s just a means of self-protection. ” Jiang Dong patted his shoulder, stood up, and left the living room.

Jiang Bai sat in the living room in silence and did not leave for a long time.
