Chapter 1589: Chapter 921: A Leopard Cannot Change Its Spots – “Beijing’s King of Racing” (3rd Update)
I never expected that after being warned, he would dare to come again.
This time he even frightened the child.
If he truly wanted to see the child, although Jiang Shiyi doesn’t like him, he wouldn’t go to extremes. After all, the identity of a biological grandfather cannot be changed.
But today, he completely disregarded the child’s feelings, behaving just as when we were young. He only hopes the child will fulfill his objectives.
Thinking he’s doing good...
In the end, it’s all selfish!
"I just knew, no matter how many years go by, it’s easier to change the landscape than a person’s nature." Jiang Chengsi gritted his teeth in anger, "I really can’t understand why mother would be with him."
Their mother, was she a bad person? It seems she never did anything wrong.
But being weak-willed and compliant, almost never resisting Jiang Zhaolin, it seems hard to say she was a qualified mother.
"Actually..." the old lady coughed slightly, "they divorced five years ago, probably before Chengsi’s wedding. She came to me once, saying she had no face to see you brothers, and since you were getting married then, she didn’t let me tell you..."
Jiang Chengsi was stunned for a moment, while Jiang Shiyi’s face still showed no emotional fluctuations.
"After such a big issue happened before, they didn’t divorce, but rather did so just before Chengsi’s wedding. He had been looking for me, hoping I would help him, claiming he had changed..." Jiang Zhenhuan sighed.
"At that time, I was pondering how to dismiss him, and suddenly he stopped looking for me. I was curious then, but later I heard about the divorce and understood why."
"Perhaps he was still thinking of doing something when you got married, and if the divorce matter became public, he would feel even more ashamed, so causing a scene to divorce would make him disregard your wedding, and thus he quieted down."
Jiang Jinsang nodded, "This time it’s probably because his factory’s capital chain has encountered problems."
"The circle is this small. After today’s incident, many people told me he was borrowing money everywhere. Approaching the child at this time inevitably raises suspicions; he couldn’t even pay the workers’ wages but gave Sese an expensive watch."
Giving something to the child is understandable, but his intentions are quite obvious.
"Actually, his business was doing okay a few years ago, and he made quite a bit."
"Some say, a few years ago, his business was good because he was involved in smuggling. But due to recent crackdowns on smuggling, business hasn’t been good." Jiang Yanting sighed helplessly, "As soon as he appears, all sorts of rumors arise. Who knows what’s true or false."
...

With Si Yushan privately handling the matter, troubles were snuffed out before sparks could even ignite. However, Jiang Chengsi’s words spread through the circle.
All these years, this has been Jiang Chengsi’s first public response regarding the father-son relationship.
The most direct consequence was that Jiang Zhaolin, who was originally only facing a tight capital chain, found it completely severed because of this comment!
Those who had agreed to lend him money all started making various excuses to avoid or delay.
He still had some real estate at hand which he wanted to liquidate to fill the capital gap, but selling real estate in a short time would surely incur heavy losses. Even if he’s willing to bear the loss, someone has to be willing to buy.
Forget about lending money, some people even blacklisted his phone number. Finally, he got someone to pick up his call:
"Mr. Jiang, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just the industry’s sentiment...no one dares to take risks."
"You better transfer the factory soon; there might still be someone willing to take it. Otherwise, it’ll just rot in your hands."
"Although the Jiang Family and Si Family haven’t spoken out, everyone in the circle is afraid of offending them; no one would dare to help you now."
Jiang Chengsi had never publicly discussed these matters before, and many people thought, no matter what, he was still the biological father, and perhaps they maintained a relationship, hoping to climb back to Jiang Chengsi, but now it seems impossible.
Everyone would definitely scatter!
...
Jiang Zhaolin’s approach towards Jiang Sese was indeed not pure, solely intending to ingratiate the child, to get close to Jiang Shiyi and the others, in pursuit of a path for himself.
Now it turned out badly; not only did he take a beating, but he also lost his wife and soldiers, even losing the factory.
He reached to rub his forearm, where Jiang Xiaowai had bitten him, the teeth marks weren’t visible, but a circle of bite marks remained.
It seemed like this father and son duo had an enmity with him.
Last time it was Jiang Jinsang, this time his son again, they are everywhere!
Thinking back carefully on the events of those years...
If it weren’t for Tang Wan, my daughter wouldn’t have had the accident, wouldn’t have been hit by a car, resulting in a lifelong disability, and even jailed. A few years ago, when Jiang Chengsi got married, I wanted to find him, a quarrel arose with my wife, and she left me too, turning into a complete separation of wife and children!
