"I..." Jiang Zhaolin wanted to refuse.
He could already tell, this was a setup, a trap.
Knowing it was a place of dispute, where he shouldn’t stay long, he still couldn’t escape!
Before he could refuse, Tang Old suddenly burst into laughter, "Old Shen, it’s you who wants to drink, isn’t it? Using someone else’s name. But today is joyful, Zhaolin has come all the way here, we indeed need to drink a toast..."
"Then I’ll go get the wine." Tang Wan smiled as she stood up.
The Tang Family began to bustle around, effectively leaving Jiang Zhaolin out in the cold.
In the end, he could only passively sit at the dining table, passively drink quite a bit of alcohol, while at the table, the two elders were playing Tai Chi.
A soft knife inching along, truly tearing his heart out.
He was so angry, he almost vomited blood.
After eating, having left gifts behind, the people of the Tang Family still jovially saw him out.
At the doorway, Tang Old still smiled at him, "Next time you’re free, come over to our place more often."
Jiang Zhaolin smiled and agreed, but once he got in the car, he was so angry he smashed his phone.
Damn it! This family was really too bullying.
Watching Jiang Zhaolin’s car drive away, Tang Old then turned with a smile, entered the house with a group of people, closing the door before he snorted coldly,
"What trash, thinking our Tang Family is so easy to enter? He even has the nerve to come over."
"Now, many people outside are watching us. If we throw him out, I’m afraid it would hit the news in a few hours, just ahead of Wanwan and Xiaowu’s engagement ’Good Days’. It’s not worth ruining the mood over such people."
"Don’t wait for some media to say that the Tang Family doesn’t let off those who are in the right; we are the victims, but we could be written up as the abusers," Elder Tang could see far ahead.
Although Jiang Shuyan was suspected of murder, Tang Wan was unharmed, and having broken her leg, if the Tang Family at this time threw out Jiang Zhaolin along with the gifts, some overly empathetic people might still sympathize with them, on the contrary condemning the Tang Family for going too far.
"Since he has come, let us treat him well with food and drink, escort him out in person, giving him enough face."
"His daughter did such a thing, yet our Tang Family can still return evil with good, treat him with manners; I’d like to see who can find any flaws in our Tang Family."
"Yunxian..." Tang Old, leaning on his cane, gripping Tang Yunxian’s arm, "I’ve told you before, there are many ways to kill an enemy; you, still need to learn slowly."
Tang Wan felt her father had squarely mocked Jiang Zhaolin, having him leave with his belongings, which was quite satisfying, but she hadn’t looked too deeply into it. Now, hearing her grandfather’s explanation, she could only sigh:
Experience really does come with age!
On Jiang Zhaolin’s side, he was already quivering with anger. He knew coming to beg for the Tang Family’s forgiveness was a one in ten thousand chance, but he had to try.
Should he fail, being driven out, he could also play up the media and garner sympathy, after all, Tang Wan was completely unharmed, and Jiang Shuyan had broken her leg, with the Tang Family still pressing on, some might say there should be mercy at the mercy courts.
Yet he never imagined that Elder Tang would play him !
Cutting off his last means and methods right at the knees, he was now unable to even make a case with this.
Meanwhile, Jiang Jinsang was already listening to Tang Wan recounting today’s events.
"It’s also a coincidence, grandfather left home not long ago; by reason, he shouldn’t have come back so quickly." Tang Wan wasn’t foolish, surely someone had tipped them off, "Xiaowu, what do you think?"
"Perhaps Jiang Zhaolin didn’t check his almanac before leaving today, just happened to run into grandfather and the others. He deserves bad luck."
However, what Jiang Jinsang was really pondering was:
Luckily, Elder Tang is quite fond of me. If this old man were to deliberately obstruct him, trying to court Wanwan would probably be incredibly difficult.
