Song Kai felt that the difference between him and Jiang Jingchen was not that his values were askew, but that they were not askew enough.
And that made him indecisive at times, which could bring harm to himself or to the people around him.
He then remembered what Jiang Jingchen told him. If he wanted to act well, he had to become the character he was playing. This matter with Jiang Minglang had nothing to do with him, so he didnât have to feel guilty.
He got up and asked the servants to clean up the mess in the banquet hall.
He was puzzled when he saw Jiang Jingchen still there, eating nonchalantly. Was his scene not over yet?
Jiang Jingchen was eating leisurely. Dishes made by chefs hired by the Jiang family would undoubtedly taste good.
After eating half his fill, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Song Kai.
âWhy are you looking at me? My surname is Jiang and this is my home while you are an outsider, yeahâ¦â
Song Kai gritted his teeth and couldnât be bothered with him.
Jiang Jingchen didnât leave the Jiang residence. Instead, he went to his old bedroom upstairs.
He hadnât been in this room for years. Seeing that the room was spotless, he figured that the servants probably cleaned it regularly. He opened the wardrobe, took out a bag and packed some things before he walked out of the room to find Jiang Xing.
When Jiang Xing saw him, he was very annoyed and roared angrily for him to get out.
Jiang Jingchen stood still. âDad, I havenât been back for years. 1 walked in openly this time and saw that someone had been cleaning my room. Iâm quite touched.â
âI wonât force you to give me my share of Jiang Corporation. After all, Iâm not good at managing business. I just needed some money to support myself.â
Jiang Xing didnât say anything, but Jiang Jingchen didnât mind. He continued, âI wasnât a cheerful kid and didnât interact much with you when 1 was young. I might not have been very sensible and might have acted rashly. Please donât hold it against me, Dad.â
Jiang Xing looked at him doubtfully. Why did Jiang Jingchen suddenly say this?
Did his son just apologize to him to get on his good side?
Jiang Jingchen added, âI didnât mean to hurt you. I just wanted to tell you that Iâm still your son. Please donât neglect me. Maybe Iâm being childish here, but I sincerely wish you a happy birthday.â
âI packed some things to bring home with me. Iâve also discussed with my wife that after she graduates from university, weâll have kids and let them call you Grandpa.â
Jiang Xing remained quiet. Jiang Jingchen sighed, turned and left with his bag.
Jiang Xing looked at his sonâs back and remembered what a smart kid he was, what a quick learner, how proud he felt whenever he mentioned this son.
This kid was Jiang Xingâs son, a child prodigy with great prospects in the future.
But a car accident almost ruined his life. He became depressed after that and isolated himself from the world. Jiang Xing went from disappointment to indifference towards his eldest son.
However, this kid was still his flesh and blood. When he heard him say that his children would call him Grandpa, he thought about Jiang Minglangâs injuries. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
If Jiang Minglang was emasculated, who would carry on the bloodline of the Jiang family?
His youngest son was still young, and his third child was a girl. The only one who could continue the bloodline was his eldest son, Jiang Jingchen.
His compassionate side was brought out and he felt a little guilty for neglecting Jiang Jingchen all these years.
He said, âButler, give Jingchen a car, the newest one we have, and a card with a million yuan inside.â
The butler was surprised, but he did not dare to say anything. He just nodded respectfully.
When Jiang Jingchen was downstairs, he bumped into Song Kai and stopped in his tracks.
âMr. Song Kai, youâre a very competent bootlicker. It suits you.â
âYou! Jiang Jingchen, you have such a big mouth. Sooner or later, God will take care of you!â
âOh? But Iâm not superstitious. The God youâre talking about isnât dependable anyway. If God really exists, your parents would still be alive.â
Song Kaiâs parents were his Achillesâ heel. He raised his fist to punch Jiang Jingchen but Jiang Jingchen ducked.
He then took two steps forward. âUseless bugger. If you donât have guts like Song Hai to murder someone, donât mess with me!â
Song Yanâs eyes burned with anger when she heard Song Haiâs name. She pointed at him and cursed, âJiang Jingchen, itâs you, itâs you. You deliberately brought Song Hai here to cause trouble!â
Jiang Jingchen sneered. âAuntie Song Yan, evidence is important. I didnât even recognize Song Hai at first. How could 1 have brought him here?â
âUse your brain. The security here is so tight. How could I have sneaked in a living person?â
Song Yan retorted, âWe didnât even invite you, so how did you sneak in?â
Jiang Jingchen raised his voice. âIâm also a member of the Jiang family. Do 1 need an invitation to my own fatherâs birthday banquet? What a joke!â
âBut, but you donât have an invitation, youâ¦â
âJiang Minglang has been attacked and you are hurting. 1 sympathize with you, but what right do you have to blame me? Just because Iâm the son of your husbandâs ex-wife, 1 deserve your bullying, is that it?â
âYou said before that youâll settle the score with me. So, it must be you. Jiang Jingchen, you just wanted to humiliate me!â Song Yan roared angrily. She wished she could go forward and tear his face apart.
Jiang Jingchenâs expression became even calmer when he saw Song Yan so angry.
âWhat score do 1 have to settle with you? Auntie Song Yan, what nonsense are you talking about? If you made a fool of yourself and caused the Jiang family to lose face, what good would it do for me? Iâm also a Jiang.â
âI know the principle of not washing our familyâs dirty linen in public, but do you? Your own brotherâs son attacked the second young master of the Jiang family. You even brought the Song b*astard to the Jiang residence. What did you have in mind? Did you want to ruin the Jiang family reputation or ruin my fatherâs birthday banquet?â
âI didnât, Iâ¦â
âEnough!â Jiang Xing, who was standing on the second floor, shouted angrily. He looked at Song Yan coldly with obvious dissatisfaction.
The fiasco today had made him lose face. He was very unhappy with the Song family.
âInstead of wasting your energy arguing here, why donât you go to the hospital and see how Minglang is doing? If anything happens to him, Iâll definitely not let the Song family off!â
Jiang Jingchen said righteously, âDad, what happened today was very strange. 1 think someone has long planned to use Song Hai to ruin your birthday banquet. You should be careful.â
âIâll definitely investigate. Be careful on the way back.â
âOkay, goodbye, Dad.â
What a scene of a loving father and filial son.
Song Kai was utterly convinced by Jiang Jingchenâs acting skills.
The best actors on television were all acting out someoneâs script, and they had various guidance from the director.
But Jiang Jingchen was the scriptwriter, director and actor all rolled into one. He alone could beat an entire cast and crew!
The butler stopped Jiang Jingchen and handed him a car key and a bank card.
âFirst Young Master, Old Master asked me to give these to you.â
Jiang Jingchen didnât stand on ceremony, took the things and put them in his pocket.
âPlease thank my father for me.â
He walked a few steps and felt that something was amiss. He turned around, walked back into the house and said to Jiang Xing with a smile, âDad, 1 didnât expect you to remember my requests. Thank you for the car and the money.â
âIf my wife knew that I have so much money, she would be so happy that she would even wash her hands and make soup for me.â
He turned and left happily, as if the only purpose he was here today was to celebrate his fatherâs birthday.
Jiang Xing watched as he walked away and thought about something. He sighed and looked at Song Yan and Song Kai with anger and disdain in his eyes.
âWhy arenât you going to the hospital yet? Are you waiting for me to carry you there?â
âI, Iâm going now.â Song Yan came back to her senses and asked the butler to get the car ready.
When they arrived at the hospital, Jiang Minglang had already come out of the operating theater. Song Yan quickly went to ask the doctor if Jiang Minglangâs manhood could be salvaged..
