"Have you heard, old Mrs. Jiang is out and about, what a strange story!"
"Really? She's not really going to Jiang Xueyu's house, is she!"
The whereabouts of the old lady instantly spread to every corner of Jiang's company, and those eight aunts and seven aunties all opened their mouths wide in surprise.
For years, who didn't know that this old lady never went to her children's homes. She even once said that unless you were qualified to live in the Water Colour Time, there was no way to get her to visit her door.
"Do you think this news is true?"
"Is Grandma really going to that shitty neighborhood of Jiang Xue Yu?"
"No ... I can't, but it doesn't say yes either." Several of the Jiang family's heirs' WeChat groups were buzzing at the moment, with everyone saying they couldn't believe it.
But when a photo of an old lady getting out of her car was sent to the WeChat group by someone unknown, the group immediately quieted down. Everyone knew that if the old lady really went to Jiang Xueyu's house this time, then her status would have to go to a higher level. Originally, they thought that Jiang Zhixin and his son were the most promising to succeed the family, but now it seems that it is really hard to say.
Whichever one of the two, father or son, their position in the company will definitely be affected.
Jiang Hong Fang and Chen Ling were surprised to see an oasis in the desert when they learned of this.
The Teng Zhi Group partnership is crucial to the Jiang family, and if they can firmly grasp this opportunity, coupled with the Tai family partnership agreement signed by the House of Zhi, then the Jiang family will be closer to the first-class family in Nanfu City, and may be able to make their dreams come true all of a sudden.
Mrs Jiang's greatest wish in life was to be able to live in Aqua Time while she was still alive, and that would truly be considered the face of a powerful family.
So when she heard that Jiang Xueyu was ill, she was in a hurry and secretly blamed Jiang Xueyu in her heart. If Shu Qian had found another partner, it would really be a case of hitting the south wall. No, this opportunity must not be lost, so she had to come and see for herself to be completely at ease.
The neighbourhood where Jiang Xue Yu lived was still rather old-fashioned, and there was no lift at all. After all, the old lady of the Jiang family is an elderly person and almost took her life after climbing a few flights of stairs.
When Jiang Hong Fang and Chen Ling first learned of the news, they did not dare to be slow and were already waiting at the door early.
When they saw the old lady, they immediately went up to her and helped her into the house.
"Mom, what do you need to come in person? Just make a phone call and we will go over to see you." Jiang Hong Fang said cautiously.
"Yes, mum, you're not well, just call if you need anything!" Chen Ling also hastily agreed.
By this time, Mrs. Jiang was so tired that she couldn't catch her breath, and her face was so white with exhaustion. After taking a few breaths, she said, "I'm here to see Xue Yu, I heard she's not feeling well?"
Chen Ling was shocked to hear this, she had just learnt that her daughter was only pretending to be sick, if old Mrs Jiang found out, would the family be thrown out soon?
Chen Ling then stared at Lei Cheng fiercely, it was all his bad idea. Lei Cheng was oblivious to Chen Ling's attitude, he invited the old lady in with a cold face and poured her a glass of water.
But Old Lady Jiang simply ignored him and asked directly, "Where is Xue Yu? Why isn't she here?"
"Ah? Xue Yu is not feeling well and is afraid of passing her illness to you, so she has been in her room and has not come out!" Chen Ling could only say stiffly, she only prayed that she would never be seen by this old lady.
"Grandma, Xue Yu isn't sick!" Just as Chen Ling was panicking, Lei Cheng suddenly said.
Bam!
Jiang Hong Fang was so directly irritated by Lei Cheng's words that he didn't even remember he had a cane in his hand, and Chen Ling was also looking at Lei Cheng with a surprised look on her face, was he crazy.
They had been trying to sweep this under the carpet, but they hadn't expected this Lei Cheng to tell the truth at the drop of a hat, did he dislike our lives too long and come to screw us over.
"Lei Cheng, are you out of your mind, Xue Yu is sick and has been in the room, shut your mouth if you can't talk!" Chen Ling said as she looked at Lei Cheng angrily.
This guy was the one who pretended to be sick, now how could he admit it of his own accord, wouldn't that be a slap in the face, and crucially, dragging them into it!
"Mom, don't listen to this punk Lei Cheng, he doesn't know anything." Jiang Hong Fang also said with a panicked look on his face.
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at Lei Cheng with great dissatisfaction and asked, "What did you mean when you said just now that Xue Yu wasn't sick?"
"Xue Yu turned out to be the person in charge of this project, and she was the one who won the cooperation of the Teng Zhi Group. No matter who started this matter, you made the decision to replace the person in charge of the project, although it was the Jiang father and son who stirred this up, but it was still the grandmother who made the final decision wasn't it?" Lei Cheng said blandly.
"Lei Cheng, are you trying to rebel against the heavens, how dare you speak to grandma like that?" Jiang Zhixin suddenly lost his temper and said, his scalp tingling with anger at this moment.
A son-in-law who didn't look good, how dare he speak to old Mrs. Jiang in such a righteous manner, and even pointed out that they were the ones who had done the deed.
"Lei Cheng, you have no right to speak here, get out of our sight or don't blame me for being unkind to you." Jiang Guoyan said through clenched teeth.
"Grandma, this kind of cooperation can only be done in Xue Yu now, don't you think so?" No matter how angry they were Han Lei Cheng looked very, very calm the whole time.
Old Mrs Jiang took a deep breath and said, "Is there any benefit to your family in doing this, aren't you afraid that I will really get angry and drive you out of the Jiang family completely?"
"Of course, that's possible, but the loss the Jiang family faces would be even greater, so you definitely won't do that." Lei Cheng said in a light-hearted manner.
"Are you planning to threaten me with this matter?" Old Mrs Jiang said with an unhappy face.
"Grandma, I just want you to change your mind and re-instate Xue Yu as the head of this project, nothing else. If anything makes grandma angry, I will definitely make amends to you." Lei Cheng said with a smile, this was called strategy, it was only natural to say something heavy and have to come back round.
"Is this really your idea, you really haven't seen me for many days and your skills have grown." The smile on the old lady's face gradually changed to a gloomy one.
As for Jiang Hong Fang and Chen Ling, they didn't even dare to breathe when they saw her, so apart from this Lei Cheng, she couldn't think of anyone else who could come up with such an idea.
"My original intention was only for the benefit of the Jiang family wasn't it, Grandma! So you must be able to understand." Lei Cheng said fearlessly.
Jiang family interests, whether this Lei Cheng is concerned about the Jiang family or just Jiang Xue Yu's Jiang family, that's really hard to say ah!
"Where is Xue Yu, call her out!" The old lady of Jiang did not want to dwell on this topic and wanted to quickly step into the subject.
At this moment Lei Cheng's phone rang, after picking up the phone Lei Cheng naturally pressed the speaker.
"Lei Cheng, I just spoke to Shu Qian and she expressed her willingness to continue working with the Jiang family, so don't worry about it!" Jiang Xueyu's voice came over the phone leisurely.
Jiang Hong Fang and Chen Ling were both stunned, when did Jiang Xue Yu leave the house, they really didn't know anything about it.
"Xue Yu, Grandma is home at this moment, she must be very happy to hear this news." Lei Cheng said to Jiang Xue Yu on the other end of the phone.
Old Mrs. Jiang barely managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "Xue Yu you did a good job this time, I'm glad that you were able to put the bigger picture first and help the Jiang family through the tough times, come to Grandma's house for dinner when you have time!"
"Yes, Grandma, you should!"
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Jiang Xueyu, Old Madam Jiang stood up and looked straight at Lei Cheng and said, "Lei Cheng, if you have any ideas about our Jiang family, I advise you to give up on that idea because you will never succeed."
"Grandma, don't worry, I'm not interested in the Jiang family's property." Lei Cheng looked at Old Lady Jiang and said with a smile
A mere second-rate Jiang family was not enough to enter Lei Cheng's eyes, furthermore how much interest could such a family have for him to think about? The family could be wiped out with a wave of his hand, not to mention the power in his own hands.
After Mrs. Jiang left, Chen Ling, who had been kept in the dark, looked at Lei Cheng and asked, "Lei Cheng, is it your plan for Xue Yu to go out too? Do you know how dangerous it is?"
"Mom, aren't you relieved either? After all these years, don't you want to vent your humiliation in the Jiang family?" Lei Cheng asked rhetorically.
Chen Ling froze, this incident today Lei Cheng had indeed helped her out, if it wasn't for Lei Cheng making such an arrangement, how could Old Madam Jiang not have come to their home, right?
And today's arrival of Old Lady Jiang had invariably raised their family's status, and from now on that Jiang family's direct descendants would never dare to underestimate themselves again.
Once Jiang Xueyu held the Yang and Tai family's contract in her hand, then her status might be on the same level as Jiang Liyan in the future. Thinking of this, Chen Ling's knot immediately stretched a lot, this Lei Cheng was not at all useless.
Even if Chen Ling wanted to pick bones out of eggs, she had no excuse for a while.
This incident caused a huge uproar among a group of Jiang family members, and when Jiang Xueyu was offered the position of project director, her status in the company would definitely rise.
Several people who had always despised Jiang Xue Yu were all furious, their hearts were full of resentment at the thought of being ridden over by a woman in the future.
"Don't be afraid, we still have a chance to marry into a rich and powerful family, and now that our Jiang family's status is different now, maybe we will marry better than before, and this Jiang Xue Yu will be considered as a dowry for us."
"Yes, we can agree that no matter who marries into the rich family in the future, they must take good care of the others, and they must not get too close to Jiang Xue Yu."
"That's for sure, she's just a woman after all, and with a loser husband, her scenery at the moment is only temporary. Don't worry too much, Jiang Liyan will have many ways to deal with her in the future."
Jiang Xue Yu went home immediately after her conversation with Shu Qian, what she didn't know was that a war between women was being fought quietly, the difference was that she was the only one in her camp, while the other side was the whole Jiang's sister sister group.
When Jiang Xueyu returned home, Chen Ling secretly called her back to her room and took her by the hand and asked, "Xueyu, tell me honestly, is there something else you haven't told me?" Chen Ling asked in a whisper.
"Mom, what's wrong with you, why are you asking such a question?" Jiang Xue Yu was a little alarmed, but on the surface she didn't move and looked at her mother.
"Why do I feel as if Lei Cheng has changed into a different person, didn't you see the way he spoke to your grandmother today, unperturbed, think about the entire Jiang family, who dares to speak to the old lady with such an attitude?" Chen Ling said with a frown.
Jiang Xue Yu smiled slightly, although she did not see with her own eyes how Lei Cheng fought with Old Madam Jiang, she was a little worried when she heard about the plan from Lei Cheng's mouth, but she finally chose to trust her husband, and it turned out that her choice was right.
"Mum, don't worry about it, don't you see that things are moving in our favour, as long as it's not harmful to us, just leave the rest to me!"
