Everyone was present.
Jiang Zongjin, who had been silent for a long time, stood up first and said bluntly, “Everyone is back, so I’ll just say it directly.”
He was still dressed in the same way. The bottom shirt button was buttoned up to the top one carefully, covering his neck tightly. He wore a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looked too strict, but it was obvious that he was cold on the outside and warm on the inside.
Jiang Zongjin glanced at Jiang Xianrou, who came back in a daze, and his mood was extremely complicated. With just one glance, he looked away, then looked at his own younger brother, and said concisely, “I called so many elders today, including Dad, in order to say one thing. It’s about the separation of our family.”
“Big brother?!” Jiang Zongnan was another person other than Qiao Nian who didn’t pay attention to online public opinion. He stood up with a face full of shock when he heard what Jiang Zongjin said. “Why are you suddenly saying this, what happened?”
Tang Wanru pinched the palm of her hand. Her face turned blue and red, and it was burning hot as if someone had slapped her painfully.
Jiang Li had just made a statement on the Internet on his own initiative, saying that Jiang Xianrou pretended to be Zhui Guang, and Qiao Nian was the real Zhui Guang. Jiang Zongjin then gathered everyone in the family and said they were going to separate. Wasn’t this a public slap in the face for the pair of mother and daughter?
Jiang Zongjin ignored him. “Actually, my father had already separated the family 18 years ago. But at that time, my wife died in an accident, and my newborn daughter was also lost… At that time, all my thoughts were lost. I just wanted to avoid those painful memories, so I didn’t care about these things. Also, I did it for the peace of the family.”
Jiang Zongnan gradually calmed down and looked at him with a frown, a little stunned.
“I ignored it because I was only one person, and neither money nor real estate means anything to me.”
Jiang Zongjin’s expression was calm as he looked towards Qiao Nian. He only looked at her once and then withdrew his gaze. His eyes gradually became firmer, and he continued his speech, “But now it’s different, I have found my biological daughter! Over the years, I haven’t been a qualified father. She has suffered a lot outside. As a father, I only have one thought—from now on, I don’t want her to be bullied anymore! I’ll get back at whoever bullies my daughter. Even if that person is my own relative.”
Before she came back, Jiang Xianrou thought that Jiang Zongjin called her back because of what happened on the Internet, but she didn’t expect him to publicly execute her in front of Old Master Jiang and the family elders!
Her eyes flickered in a panic, and the hand hanging by her side clenched into fists. She could feel the elders and her father’s eyes staring at her.
Crazy, it was just crazy!
Her uncle wasn’t like this before. He loved her the most since she was a child. She was the only daughter in the family. He rarely came back, but he treated her better than Jiang Li and her eldest brother.
He always bought her the best-looking dresses, delicious candies, and toys every time…
They shared 18 years of relationship, but because of Qiao Nian, he didn’t save face for her and even pointed the finger at her in front of the whole family.
“Dad, I want to split up the family and get back the property that originally belonged to me.” Jiang Zongjin looked at Old Master Jiang and put forward calmly. “If I remember correctly, the family’s old house is in my name. I want to get the house back.”
