【Fill, apply, brush】

Jiang Xu had a smile on his face as he repeated what his original self had heard in the Jiang family.

Jiang Jingcheng felt his throat was dry and couldn't utter a word.

"Hang up. There's no need for us to contact each other in the future, no matter what happens."

The cold beeping sound brought Jiang Jingcheng's thoughts back to an afternoon many years ago.

Jiang Xu, who had just entered junior high school, was going to attend his first parent-teacher meeting. He could no longer ask his aunt to attend the meeting as he did in elementary school, so his junior high school teacher asked him to call his parents.

At that time, he was in college and received a call from Jiang Xu who borrowed his class teacher's mobile phone.

He never answers calls from unfamiliar numbers. He hung up the first call from Jiang Xu and only picked up the phone impatiently until the third call.

And because he was studying in the library at the time, he became even more impatient when he heard Jiang Xu's voice after the call was connected.

In his heart, he just felt that this younger brother was extremely annoying. He wasn't good at all for Ruan Meng and only caused trouble for him.

So he told Jiang the following words:

"What's the point of contacting me for a parent-teacher conference? You're already that old, can't you go find your parents yourself? Figure out how to handle your own issues. What would you do if your family isn't around? When I was a teenager, I could already hold my own parent-teacher conference. Your family won't always help you deal with problems, and they won't be your permanent support."

These memories, which were so long ago that he almost forgot them, once again emerged in his mind with incredible clarity. Jiang Jingcheng seemed to be able to hear the cicadas chirping outside the window that day.

But there was no voice of Jiang Xu.

That day, Jiang Xu didn't even have a chance to say a word before he hung up the phone.

Later, when he went home for the holidays, he heard Jiang Jingyou and others say that they also received a call from Jiang Xu, the class teacher, that day.

One of the parents was in a meeting and the other was filming. Jiang Jingyou hung up the phone the moment he heard Jiang Xu's voice after the call was connected, and did not forget to block the number.

No one took this incident to heart until this moment many years later.

Jiang Jingcheng is able to appreciate many things that no one cares about.

For example, that day Jiang Xu made three consecutive calls and no one responded. But when he called him and the phone was picked up, did he feel a glimmer of hope in his heart?

That glimmer of hope must have been shattered into despair after hearing what he said.

That day, all the students had their parents sitting in the classroom for a parent-teacher meeting, except Jiang Xu, who was the only one sitting in the classroom representing himself.

Since then, Jiang Jingcheng never received a call from Jiang Xu again.

He just felt relieved that no one bothered him anymore.

No one in the entire Jiang family attended Jiang Xu's parent-teacher meeting.

And at Ruan Meng's parent-teacher meetings every semester, they even have to line up or draw lots, scrambling to attend.

But what happened to Ruan Meng, who was loved by everyone?

Those who are favored are always fearless and will even continue to fight for it.

Jiang Jingcheng took a deep breath, feeling that the depression in his heart was about to swallow him up. Finally, he couldn't hold it back and burst out. He reached out and smashed something on the table, letting the splashing fragments scratch his hand.

A tingling sensation came from my hands.

But what is this little pain?

It's not even close to what Jiang Xu suffered in the Jiang family.

The employees outside the office heard the noise inside and looked at each other, not daring to speak.

The cell phone on the desk rang. Jiang Jingcheng looked up and immediately frowned. Looking at the phone number that was obviously from the police, he hesitated for a long time.

But thinking of last night's arson case, Jiang Jingcheng still answered the phone.

"Excuse me, are you a family member of Ruan Meng?"

"……no."

If this call had come before the conversation with Jiang Xu, Jiang Jingcheng might have asked his assistant to go to the police station out of some kindness.

Now he knew clearly that every time he was nice to Ruan Meng, it was a kind of hurt to Jiang Xu, even though Jiang Xu no longer cared about it now.

"咚咚-"

There was a knock at the door.

Jiang Jingcheng raised his eyes and put away his expression: "Come in."

"Mr. Jiang, the heads of all parties are here, including...their legal affairs department." The assistant said cautiously.

"understood."

Jiang Jingcheng took a deep breath. His father was ill, his mother had moved away, and he had a younger brother who had never been involved in the group's affairs. Now he was facing liquidated damages from all parties and was embroiled in lawsuits.

He is the only one holding up the mess of Yuntian Group now, but he probably won’t be able to hold on for much longer.

Jiang Jingcheng raised his hand and rubbed his brows to hide the bitter smile on his lips. When he looked up, he regained his composure and ordered, "Call Ruan Meng's mother and inform her that Ruan Meng is in the detention center waiting for bail. Let her handle it. From now on, you don't have to deal with anything related to Ruan Meng, and you don't have to tell me."

After what Ruan Jianguo did, he didn't want to see the couple anymore, but he also didn't want Ruan Meng to keep calling him and annoy him, so he let Zhuang Xiaohui clean up this mess herself.

The assistant was slightly surprised. In the past, whenever Master Ruan Meng encountered any problems, as long as Boss Jiang didn't have anything that needed to be dealt with immediately, he would basically rush over in person. But now...

But think about it, Master Ruan Meng has obtained so much, yet he can still make himself like this, even doing illegal things.

Looking at Jiang Xu, who has had little sense of existence since childhood, the assistant couldn't help but sigh that he was really favored and felt complacent. He occupied the love of other people's parents and had good resources, but he didn't cherish them at all.

Do you think that everything you steal belongs to you as a matter of course?

It was a good hand played badly!

The assistant turned around and went out to make a phone call. After a while, he knocked on the door and came back, looking at Jiang Jingcheng who was about to go out with an embarrassed face.

"Mr. Jiang... that..."

"Just say what you want to say. Don't hesitate. Do you think I have a lot of time now?"

There are also a bunch of partners waiting for him to appease and discuss compensation matters. No matter what, he has to minimize the losses within his ability, even if it's just a reduction of 100,000, even if it's just a drop in the bucket.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang."

The assistant calmed down the shock she had felt when she was on the phone with Zhuang Xiaohui, and said, "Master Ruan Meng's mother told me that she couldn't take care of him now, and also said..."

"What else is there to say?" Jiang Jingcheng's eyes narrowed and turned a little colder.

"She also said that her husband was arrested by the police because of the Jiang family, and she can't even take care of herself now. Ruan Meng was originally something you wanted to raise, so how can you just say you don't want her? She also said that Ruan Meng's current situation is all because you believed in that little rabbit..."

The assistant changed his wording and continued, "It's because you believed Jiang Xu's nonsense. If you didn't want him, he wouldn't have done those things on impulse. But what Ruan Meng said is true. Jiang Xu turned things around because he hooked up with Si Yanli. Maybe he seduced Si Yanli just to get revenge on you..."

With every extra word the assistant said, Jiang Jingcheng's expression became uglier.

"The Jiang family has fallen into this state today, and it must be because of Jiang Xu's instigation in Si Yanli's ear. You should go to Jiang Xu and ask him clearly. In short, Zhuang Xiaohui means that you have the responsibility to rescue Ruan Meng, and..."

"She also said that the Jiang family was ungrateful. If it weren't for her, Madam and Jiang Xu would have died in that car accident. She was very kind to the Jiang family, but the Jiang family drove them away for Jiang Xu, forcing them into a desperate situation. You deserve what happened today."

"Nonsense!"

An extremely angry female voice came from the office door. Shen Aiqing walked in wearing high heels, her face even uglier than Jiang Jingcheng's.

This was the first time she appeared in public since Jiang Yuntian cheated on her. She originally wanted to come and see the situation of the group and also visit her son whom she hadn't seen for a while. After all, the mistake Jiang Yuntian made had nothing to do with her outstanding son.

Who could have imagined hearing something so outrageous?

"This family! How greedy can this family be!?"

Shen Aiqing was so angry that she threw her handbag heavily on the sofa. The assistant saw the sign and hurried forward to close the office door to block out the prying eyes from the president's office.

However, Shen Aiqing was so angry that he couldn't control the volume of his voice, and even with the best sound insulation, some of his voice could be heard through.

"Haven't we been good enough to their family in the past twenty years? Although I liked Ruan Meng and kept him by my side, Zhuang Xiaohui also worked for the Jiang family. The salary she received every month was twice as much as other aunts. She ate and drank at the Jiang family's expense, took the Jiang family's money, and was able to look after her son. Someone also raised her son well for her. What else could she not be satisfied with?!"

Ah this...

The assistant's eyes widened as he listened, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart, isn't this just a complete blunder?

Not only did he raise a family of blood-sucking worms, he also kept them for more than 20 years. A family of three ungrateful wolves...

Madam! If you really can't make it, please support me! I can eat, work, and give birth!

Shen Aiqing could not hear a word of the assistant's inner cries. He had no place to vent his anger. The elegant and decent image he had on TV was gone. He sat on the sofa and cursed.

"When Ruan Meng was ten years old, she said she was not in good health and wanted to resign and take Ruan Meng with her. In order to keep her and Ruan Meng, I let her work in the Jiang family without working, and let her uneducated and unskilled husband work as a manager in the group's warehouse. I also bought them a house and a car. If it weren't for the Jiang family, how could their family live the good life they have now?"

"No matter how big a favor is, it should be repaid! What nonsense is Zhuang Xiaohui saying! I haven't even settled the score with Ruan Jianguo for his filthy deeds, but now she's here to blame me! Is she out of her mind? What kind of crazy things is she saying?"

"Xiao Lin, go get a glass of water."

Jiang Jingcheng walked to the sofa and sat down, sighing slightly: "It shouldn't be water that has seeped in, it's just that they are like this."

They are the ones who have water in their brains.

"Yes, I am the one who has lost my mind." Shen Aiqing wiped away her tears. "How can I be so blinded by my own greed that I don't care about the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to, but treat other people's children as treasures? No matter how good or obedient the child is, it is someone else's, not my blood. If I hadn't insisted on keeping Ruan Meng by my side, we wouldn't have been involved with this family of ungrateful people."

Jiang Jingcheng was silent for a long time before speaking:

"It's meaningless to talk about the past now. The damage has been done and it's hard to undo it."

"Mom, please stay in my office for a while. My partners are waiting for me in the conference room. I have to go over there."

"Go ahead. I came here to see you. You're the only one holding up the group now. I'm worried about you." Shen Aiqing wiped away her tears and asked, "Jingcheng, tell me the truth. How long can the group last now? What's the worst that can happen?"

"The group's operating conditions have been going downhill in recent years. Coupled with the losses this time, there is not much liquid capital in the account. I don't know if I can pay off all the compensation. In the end, I can only go bankrupt and liquidate. I am afraid that even if I can't pay off the debt through bankruptcy and liquidation, all the assets of the Jiang family will be lost, and the Jiang family will be left with nothing."

Now it was Shen Aiqing's turn to remain silent for a long time. He sneered, "Well, they really deserved it. Jiang Yuntian deserved it even more. He cares about the Yuntian Group the most in his life. I wonder if he will be so angry that he will die when he knows that the group is bankrupt."

Jiang Jingcheng fell even more silent after hearing this. His seemingly perfect home turned out to be so ugly when one removed the false appearance of happiness.

……

The situation of Yuntian Group these days can be seen from the news without asking specifically, and you can hear people discussing these things.

Jiang Xu was just watching for fun.

Not only that, Jiang Jingyou's situation is not good either, because he suddenly announced his retirement. For a star of his status like him to take back what he said would only ruin his reputation.

So I had no choice but to terminate the contracts one by one and pay compensation one by one.

Jiang Jingyou’s fans watched as Jiang Jingyou’s endorsements were deleted one by one by the official, and this person disappeared from the entertainment circle bit by bit.

Jiang Xu made a rough estimate. According to Jiang Jingyou's previous lavish spending pattern, he would definitely have little money left after paying the penalty for breach of contract, not to mention the current collapsing situation of Yuntian Group. If he had any extra money, he would probably have to use it to pay for it.

The whole family is going to become paupers.

[Who said Ruan Jianguo is bad? Ruan Jianguo is so nice! I am so happy.jpg]

[Laughing so hard that he fainted, Ruan Jianguo spent the whole night trying to figure it out but couldn't figure it out, so he turned around and set a fire to destroy everything! ]

[Ruan Jianguo has found himself a lifelong job. At least he won’t have to worry about food, clothing and housing for many years to come.]

[God's father is a lifetime member, hahaha! ]

[I like it! It’s good! I love watching it! God knows how much I was afraid that the Jiang family would start to treat the anchor well, the anchor would forgive them, and then the family would have a happy ending. Fortunately, it didn’t happen! ]

[I clicked on it. There really is no need for a dumpling-making plot. That way I would only feel that the sufferings that the original character has endured were in vain, and I cannot forgive on behalf of the original character. After more than 20 years of family cold violence, if he suddenly changes his mind, wouldn’t that be too easy to appease?]

【Support the anchor Dumei! 】

What a coincidence, Jiang Xu thought so too.

No matter how the Jiang family treats him in the future, belated affection will always be belated. Something that did not appear when needed has no need to appear anymore, let alone for more than 20 years.

After checking the satisfaction point value, he found that it was still a little short of the full point. Jiang Xu pinched his ears and calculated, and found that the problem was still with Ruan Meng.

There was no need to meet Ruan Meng, he knew that Ruan Meng would come to find him.
