Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Entrusted the Gong Family to Her_1

”Mom, Jiang Chen said to let us, the Gong Family, stay securely, means that the Gong Family’s status will always be at the top in Dingjing.”

”When he said Dingjing’s Gong Family could become a place for retirement, he meant that Yi Chen will always protect the Gong Family from being suppressed or destroyed.”

”Mom, you’re usually so astute, how can you not understand?”

Gong Jianqiang looked at Old Lady Luo with a face full of disappointment, as if hating that iron cannot become steel. At this point, he had no choice but to explain it here and now; given Old Lady Luo’s attitude, she would not humble herself until he made things clear to her.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Luo looked at Gong Jianqiang with surprise, then turned her head and looked at Jiang Chen with a complex expression, feeling incredibly uncomfortable inside.

Back then, the son-in-law she looked down upon had now become someone she couldn’t even aspire to match, and this made Old Lady Luo feel an extreme sense of disparity.

Prejudice had always led her to look down on Jiang Chen, and when she came, there was still a bit of arrogance in her heart, feeling that, even though Jiang Chen’s Yi Chen had become a leading figure in Dingjing, her own family was still part of the first-class families of Jincheng.

But now, the last shred of pride in Old Lady Luo’s heart was shattered by Jiang Chen’s identity as the eldest grandson of the direct line of the Dingjing Jiang Family.

Today, she finally realized that she had always been wrong!

”Jiang Chen, I’m sorry, I—I apologize to you for my previous words and actions,” Old Lady Luo bowed her head.

Jiang Chen looked deeply at Old Lady Luo, smiled faintly, feeling that solving the issue this way was a good outcome, after all. The Gong Family was Gong Lin’s family, and no matter what, he couldn’t annihilate it.

”Old Lady, I don’t want to mention the past, but I hope you can understand, I like Gong Lin, not because of the Gong Family’s assets, not to meddle in the Gong Family’s affairs. I truly like her,” Jiang Chen stated earnestly.

If it had been before, he would not have been able to say these words, but now, having truly accepted Gong Lin, he had to make it clear. He wanted the Gong Family to know that Gong Lin wasn’t a tool for him to use!

Gong Jianqiang’s eyes lit up as he stared straight at Jiang Chen, while Ye Qiongbo looked at Jiang Chen with worry in his eyes, feeling a vague unease.

”I... I am not a good man. I had Jing Yi in my heart, yet I still fell in love with Gong Lin and Yu Wan. This is my fault.

But today, I want to tell you.

These three women, they are all my women, Jiang Chen’s women, and nobody can take them away from my side.

If anyone dares to do so, I will ensure their family is ruined, and their lineage extinguished!”

A chilly gleam suddenly burst from Jiang Chen’s eyes as he stared directly at Old Lady Luo and Ye Qiongbo, who were sitting together.

The Gong and Ye Families had thrice tried to introduce men to Gong Lin and Ye Yuwan. Jiang Chen, thinking back, couldn’t help but feel a bout of fear.

At the time, he hadn’t noticed, but now upon reflection, if the two women had married someone else because of his lack of acknowledgment, could he truly accept it? He would probably regret it for the rest of his life!

The people of the Gong and Ye Families were stunned for a moment before they all looked up at Jiang Chen in unison.

Old Lady Luo’s eyes flickered, and then she let out a dejected sigh, saying bitterly, ”What other choice do we have? Lin Lin is so bewitched by you, if we forcibly separate you two, I’m afraid Lin Lin would no longer recognize us as her family! I...”

”Old Lady, you’re wrong. It’s not that Gong Lin won’t recognize you and the family; it’s that if you truly force her again, then she won’t have the Dingjing Gong Family to recognize anymore because by that time, the Dingjing Gong Family will no longer exist!” Jiang Chen authoritatively cut off Old Lady Luo’s words, speaking with a solemn face.

Today, seized with this opportunity, Jiang Chen was determined to resolve this matter.

He would have to leave for Jincheng soon.

And with the current situation in Dingjing, neither Gong Lin nor Yè Yùwǎn could leave, and even if he kept them with him for now, what about later? He couldn’t always keep them by his side, watching over them every moment. If those two families did not accept this, and something happened after he left, he would regret it to death!

Old Lady Luo looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment, realizing he was not joking, and knowing that he had the ability to annihilate the Gong Family in Dingjing, she nodded helplessly, ”Let the child deal with her own affairs.”

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, turning his head to look at Ye Qiongbo.

Ye Qiongbo hurriedly said, ”Whom Jing Yi and Yu Wan choose to be with is their freedom, and we absolutely support them.”

”Good, Elder Ye, regarding the matter of Yè Yùwǎn becoming the Family Head of the Ye Family, let’s talk about it in a few days. These few days I need to take care of Lin Lin, and Yu Wan has been busy with company matters and doesn’t have time for the Family Head succession ceremony. Once things settle down, I will surely come to observe the ceremony!” Jiang Chen spoke with a smile.

”Yes, yes!” Ye Qiongbo spoke with a smiling face.

Jiang Chen’s attendance at the ceremony was not only about observing, but his presence also meant witnessing. If the Ye Family ever wanted to renege in the future, he wouldn’t need to hold back anymore!

Clenching her teeth, Old Lady Luo stared straight at Jiang Chen and said word by word, ”Jiang Chen, will you always be good to Lin Lin?”

”Of course!” Jiang Chen replied without hesitation.

”That’s good!” Old Lady Luo nodded, a look of relief on her face, ”Once Lin Lin’s injuries get a bit better, accompany her back to the family home. I want to take a rest. The Gong Family in Dingjing, I’ll leave it to her.”

The members of the Gong Family were all stunned, then looked at each other, saying nothing—they had nothing to say.

Gong Jianqiang’s eyes brightened, looking at Old Lady Luo with satisfaction. He was relieved, not only because Old Lady Luo was handing over Dingjing Gong Family to Gong Lin, but most of all because she was finally laying aside her zeal for power and could now live out her days in contentment!

Jiang Chen looked deep into Old Lady Luo’s eyes and nodded emphatically.

After chatting for a while, Gong Jianqiang and the others got up to leave, and it was then that Jiang Chen turned to look at Zhou Cheng and Lin Yue, ”You two, introduce yourselves to each other.”

Zhou Cheng and Lin Yue were both slightly startled, then introduced themselves.

”CEO of Jiuzhou Group?!” Upon hearing Lin Yue’s introduction, Zhou Cheng exclaimed in surprise.

Jiuzhou Group, a company established twenty years ago, went public in ten, and has now become one of the top enterprises in the Flame Dragon Kingdom, and is advancing toward becoming one of the top 500 global enterprises.

Lin Yue smiled faintly, turning her head to look at Jiang Chen.

”Lin Yue, the influence of Jiuzhou Group within the country is already quite significant, but not very influential internationally. Have you thought about what you want to focus on developing next?” Jiang Chen spoke softly.

Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, and said seriously, ”The company is planning to focus on developing real estate, jewelry, and luxury goods.”

”Real estate, jewelry, luxury goods...” Jiang Chen smiled faintly, ”These are indeed things that are not easy to depreciate, but still, they are more about preserving what has been achieved!”

After pausing, Jiang Chen said with a light laugh, ”Now with the prevalence of the 4G network, don’t you plan to start with that?”
