Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1739: Chapter 1675: Under the Dispute of Interests

”How could I not come back to visit when my grandfather is ill?” Ying Qiong said, walking over, forcing Fourth Master Jiang to release Chen Baoshen.

”I’ll take Doctor Chen to see Grandfather myself.”

As Ying Qiong spoke, she reached out to support Chen Baoshen.

Chen Baoshen breathed a sigh of relief, yet cold sweat still dripped down his back.

He suddenly felt that if he hadn’t come back with Ying Qiong this time, he might not have been able to enter Old Master Jiang’s courtyard and would surely have been stopped.

He wondered if his nephew could withstand the pressure these past two days.

Now, Old Master Jiang’s condition indeed seemed very worrying.

And the Jiang Family’s current situation was even more severe and chaotic than he imagined.

With the upper-level power group about to change, all kinds of mischievous and unruly things were bound to come forth.

Because of Ying Qiong, the Jiang Family naturally stood on Li Hanzhong’s side, but Chen Baoshen knew that when the Jiang Family members unanimously agreed to support Li Hanzhong, many did so with the hope of rising in status.

However, they didn’t anticipate that once Li Hanzhong came to power, he would be decisive and swift, adhering strictly to his predetermined path.

Some members of the Jiang Family, not receiving the expected benefits, gradually developed other thoughts.

It was a time when the waters were murkiest.

And at this moment, of all times, Old Master Jiang fell sick. Or rather, someone seized the opportunity to ensure he would fall at this critical moment.

Chen Baoshen glanced at Ying Qiong walking beside him, seeing her tense face and eyes cold as ice, and couldn’t help but secretly sigh.

Ying Qiong was having a hard time at this moment as well.

They hurriedly rushed towards Old Master Jiang’s courtyard. Along the way, Ying Qiong didn’t even have time to greet the Jiang Family members they encountered.

The Jiang Family, like large households of ancient times, hadn’t split up; multiple brothers and their families lived together.

The Jiang Family mansion is a famous landmark in D State because it is an ancient garden-style residence, sprawling over ten thousand levels, with various courtyards nestled within the gardens, exuding a sense of regal splendor.

Such a grand mansion, luxurious garden, and a historic estate worth billions is unique across the country.

The Jiang Family’s ability to retain such an estate through chaotic times is a testament to their immense capability.

In his younger days, Old Master Jiang was extremely decisive and firm in his decision-making and had tremendous influence. Even when others in the Jiang Family coveted the position of Family Head, there was nothing they could say or do but yield to his authority.

Now, they probably saw him as an old tiger with lost teeth due to his age.

Old Master Jiang’s part of the mansion occupied half of the entire estate, which is perhaps why many were discontent. Why should a dwindling household occupy the largest space?

”Ying Qiong is back?” A woman walked out from the living room in Old Master Jiang’s courtyard.

”Big Aunt.” Ying Qiong’s expression softened slightly upon seeing her, introducing her to Chen Baoshen: ”This is Doctor Chen Baoshen. Doctor Chen, this is Second Master’s eldest daughter, Jiang Qiuyan.”

In the Jiang Family, members of Old Master’s generation are uniformly referred to as so-and-so Master. The Second Master is Old Master Jiang’s second brother and Ying Qiong’s second granduncle.

Jiang Qiuyan was a cousin to Ying Qiong’s father.

Seeing Ying Qiong’s expression, Chen Baoshen immediately understood that this Jiang Family’s Big Aunt stood on Ying Qiong’s side.
