Chapter 1 - Rejection of Marriage
Yang Xi's surname was actually not Yang, if she had followed her father because of her surname, Jane, and her mother, she would have followed her mother because of her surname, Tang. It was a pity that neither of them liked her, so in the end she could only follow her mother's surname.
But since his mother was the ultimate victor of this marriage, how could she agree to it? On one hand, he had already hated Yang Xi's biological mother, and on the other hand, he had an extremely outstanding daughter. Naturally, he didn't think much of his illegitimate daughter, so he let Mrs. Jian decide what she wanted.
Grandfather Jane wanted to interfere, but in the end, it was the relationship between the two of them, so he couldn't meddle too much in it. Thus, he could only just let things be, and take care of Little granddaughter who was like duckweed in her life.
It was reasonable to say that Mrs. Jian would definitely not agree to such a situation. Even if Jian's father had already inherited the power of the Jian Family, but a rotten boat would still have its nails nailed onto it.
It had to be said that with Mrs. Jian's dowry, she could be considered the only daughter of her family. Once her family entered the Jian Family, she would bring her parents here, directly joining the group of Jian's.
In this way, the Mrs. Jian would own 50% of the shares, and give 5% to the Jian Family as a gift. The other 15% would be given to the first child of the Mrs. Jian, while the remaining 30% would truly belong to the Mrs. Jian.
The reason why Mrs. Jian was able to defeat Yang Xi's mother was because she had used 5% of her shares to exchange for them. Thus, men always say that love has always been a change, and the real main dish was always money and power. When the two of them clash, men always choose money and power. Except, of course, for the romantic who loves supreme, who cannot be judged by reason.)
Even if she doesn't join the company, she has the right to speak, but she isn't a sage. Grandpa Jian had already warned the Jian's father about this very early on, but this man felt that she was his woman and wouldn't do anything to him, so he didn't take it seriously at all.
Only, he completely did not expect that after twenty years, the Mrs. Jian, who was only twenty-five, would return home and begin her revenge. She wanted to let the Jian Family know the consequences of offending her.
”No.” Grandfather Jane never thought that his eldest grandson's daughter would get married after returning home at the age of twenty-five. He never would have thought that this daughter-in-law would actually propose to cancel the engagement, how could this be okay. This was not only making their Jian Family and Zhong Family lose face, it was also making him unable to explain to his old friend.
”Dad, how can we not? A poor soldier who is almost thirty years old is only a first lieutenant. How can such a person be worthy of our Jian Family's young miss?” Mrs. Jian did not have any intention of backing down. When it came to Zhong Haodong, he had a look of disdain on his face.
Originally, when Jian Ning was born and heard that her daughter had been betrothed to Grandpa Jane, she was very unhappy. But since she was still her grandfather, she couldn't say anything.
In fact, at that time, she had already been disappointed in Jian Family, Grandpa Jane, and the Jian's father. It was also at that time that she not only started to obtain the company, she also started to investigate the marriage that Grandpa Jane arranged for her daughter.
It turned out that her family was all soldiers and their positions weren't high, so it was obvious that they were born into some kind of family. Originally, she thought that the old gramps would let her future son-in-law enter the company, and at that time, his wife and husband would follow him around pretty well, but she didn't think that his family would still send him to be a soldier.
It was only then that she was truly disappointed in the Jian Family and sent Jian Ning abroad, directly pulling the Jian Family out of the group with her son. The time was ripe, it was the perfect time for her to make a move.
”You … You checked? ” Mr. Jian could not help but be shocked, he never thought that this daughter-in-law would be so burdensome. No wonder his old friend made him care about family matters from time to time, what did he say then, it was as if he had already passed the orator to his son's daughter-in-law.
So the real knot was here, his daughter-in-law was really naive. Her old friend's family background was something she could find out, and looking at what she said, it was obvious that she did not find out anything, it was all superficial knowledge, perhaps even something that her nephew in the Zhong Family did not manage to find out.
”Mhmm, if I don't go investigate, I'm afraid that I don't know what kind of friendship you had with your granddaughter that you sold away for.” When she had just investigated into this matter, she had never felt this angry before. If it was really a good family, then she would not have said anything.
”You …” Mr. Jian was so angry that he could not say a word, he started to breathe heavily, while Yang Xi watched from the side in a panic, but she did not dare to go up. In this house, she was that unnecessary existence, he did not dare to take even half a step forward, for fear that the First Mother would release some kind of godly essence again.
Seeing his own daughter-in-law's look, Mr. Jian knew that there was no point in saying anything more, so he didn't say anything more and only tacitly agreed to it. He only sighed in his heart, thinking that if he regretted it, he wouldn't help them negotiate an agreement.
