Jiang Tiannan was also drinking alone, glancing at the amber-colored liquor in his glass from time to time!

He's in a real dilemma!

Because he announced his marriage earlier than Ye Jianchen, all the prominent people in the provincial capital received the news and came to congratulate him!

Who knew that Ye Jianchen would announce his engagement so soon after, slapping Jiang Tiannan in the face!

On that day, who cared about Jiang Tiannan anymore!

On that day, Jiang Tiannan could only stand aside!

Ye Ke'er would be furious if she knew!

"No wonder Ye Jianchen and Li Dafa were laughing so heartily when I mentioned marriage at the Euro-African Group. Turns out he was mocking me! Damn it!"

Jiang Tiannan finished the wine in his glass in one gulp, said goodbye to Lu Zhiyun, and went straight home!

Ye Xu didn't want to stay any longer, so he took a taxi back to the Liang family home!

The Liang family members were sitting in the living room, which was already quite large and not full. They weren't watching TV; some were playing on their phones, while others were drinking tea.

Liang Yong was constantly on the phone, pulling strings and running around trying to get Liang Yi's help!

When Ye Xu got home, he exclaimed that something had happened and then told him what he knew!

"Ye Jianchen is getting engaged to Xia Qianqian, the youngest daughter of the Xia family?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Liang family—whether they were playing on their phones or drinking tea—all looked up at Ye Xu!

"Yeah, Ye Jianchen hid it from us so well! He actually became the Xia family's son-in-law! No wonder the Xia family went to Yanjing to rescue him. Damn it, I'm more handsome and more eloquent than Ye Jianchen, so why doesn't Xia Qianqian like me?"

As Ye Xu spoke, he paced back and forth, growing increasingly jealous and angry with each word!

From childhood to adulthood, everything good belonged to him; Ye Jianchen didn't even have the right to wear his tattered clothes and worn-out shoes!

"Ye Jianchen is currently the richest man in the South, and he's also related to the Xia family by marriage. Things are getting complicated!"

"Although the Xia family seems to be rooted in the south, they actually have connections in Beijing as well. They are a powerful family between second- and third-tier families!"

"In the South, the Xia family is the most powerful and wealthy family!"

The Liang family members also spoke one after another, their words filled with anxiety and fear!

Currently, half of the Liang family members have been taken away, and they are all powerful and influential. The rest of them have relatively ordinary abilities and status, so how could they not be afraid!

As they thought about it, they looked at Liang Caili, who hadn't said a word and was staring blankly with red eyes. Their resentment towards her grew even stronger!

"Oh, Caili, you jinx! You've ruined us!"

No one dared to complain about Liang Caili to her face, but Liang Caifeng couldn't hold back any longer: "Because of you, my husband's family in Yanjing kicked me out. Because of you, your father, your mother, your younger brother, and your older brother all suffered misfortune. How can you have the nerve to stay in the Liang family!"

Liang Caifeng cried as she spoke, "My son was also investigated, and I heard he'll be serving three years in prison, but your son got away scot-free. How could you do such a thing!"

Her shout finally got the other relatives going, and it was like boiling water!

"Our Liang family was doing just fine, but because of you, now our family is ruined and everyone is dead. Are you happy now?!"

"Didn't you marry into the Ye family? Why did you come back? Why?!"

"You brought this mess on yourself, and our whole family is paying the price. The once-powerful Liang family is now lifeless and no longer a wealthy clan!"

"Liang Caili, you owe me!"

As she became increasingly agitated with her insults, all the relatives rushed over and began punching, kicking, pulling her hair, and slapping her!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Liang Caili could only cry incessantly. She was beaten so badly that she could barely stand. She was pushed to the sofa one moment and to the coffee table the next, looking utterly pathetic!

Moreover, in the chaos, her younger sister Liang Caiyan couldn't hold back either and punched Liang Caili in the face, causing Liang Caili to cry out in pain and bruises to appear on her cheek!

"Who is he? The richest man in the South!"

"Who is he? He's the son-in-law of the Xia family!"

"How are we supposed to fight? How are we supposed to win?"

"You're clearly in the wrong. Just bow your head and apologize, and everything will be fine. But you're just being stubborn!"

"It's clearly because you hid too many secrets from Ye Jianchen that everyone has been implicated!"

"Sister, we are all your family, why did you hurt us like this!"

Liang Caiyan was also crying because her son Liu Yuanbin was also going to jail, and he had already been sentenced!

Liang Caili didn't dare to say a word, her heart filled with pain and fear. In fact, when she learned that Ye Jianchen was the son-in-law of the Xia family, she knew that everything was over!

She collapsed to the ground, helpless, as her family members punched and kicked her. Her eyes were empty, blank, desperate, and filled with bitterness.

Because she also felt that she deserved it!

"I abandoned him back then, and today, this is my retribution! I'm not a good mother!"

As she spoke, she felt like crying again, but she couldn't shed any more tears!

"Enough! What's the point of arguing at a time like this!"

At this moment, Liang Yong, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up and went over to help Liang Caili up.

"We're all one family. The more difficult the times, the more we need to stick together! Anyone who's dissatisfied, leave the Liang family!"

Then, he stared at everyone with wide, fierce eyes.

"Let's go!"

This time, however, people no longer held Liang Yong in the same awe as before, and several families were already planning to leave!

When the tree falls, the hozens scatter!

Although Liang Yong still wields considerable influence, it's important to remember that he has offended Ye Jianchen, the richest man in the south.

Liang Yi has already been brought down, and Liang Yong's fate is predictable. Even if he wins the fight in the future, it will be a lose-lose situation!

A peaceful and uneventful life is what people want, not a life of constant struggle and conflict.

"I'm planning to leave the country tomorrow. Thank you all for taking care of me over the years!"

"My daughter got into a university abroad, and I plan to go and accompany her!"

"I'm getting old, and I want to find a quiet place to retire. I'll be moving in a couple of days!"

Everyone said a few polite words to Liang Yong, and then gradually dispersed.

The once bustling and prosperous Liang family, which used to have hundreds of people dining together at its peak, now only has a few scattered members left!

Liang Yong didn't speak. He was very sad. At one point, he even questioned whether he had done the right thing by helping Liang Caili. He seemed to see the scene of his family eating and drinking together in a lively atmosphere.

Back then, my parents were still alive, and my younger brother and his family were still alive too!

"The Liang family will not fall, and will not abandon anyone!"

He clenched his fists tightly, determined not to let the great ship sink, and not to let the massive clan fall apart!

Without a doubt, the news of Ye Jianchen's true background was a devastating blow to the Liang family!

Meanwhile, Jiang Tiannan rushed back to the Jiang family home!

In the living room, he saw Ye Ke'er, and Jiang Yi and the others were talking to Ye Ke'er!

Ye Ke'er sat obediently with her hands clasped in front of her legs, her head slightly lowered, her eyes red-rimmed, looking very aggrieved!

"dad!"

Jiang Tiannan became anxious upon seeing Ye Ke'er's appearance.

"Tiannan is back!"

Jiang Yi looked at Jiang Tiannan meaningfully: "You should know about Ye Jianchen's engagement, right? I've thought about it and decided to let the wedding go ahead. I was just talking to Ke'er, and she agreed!"
