Song Kai felt that the difference between him and Jiang Jingchen was not that his values were askew, but that they were not askew enough.
And that made him indecisive at times, which could bring harm to himself or to the people around him.
He then remembered what Jiang Jingchen told him. If he wanted to act well, he had to become the character he was playing. This matter with Jiang Minglang had nothing to do with him, so he didn’t have to feel guilty.
He got up and asked the servants to clean up the mess in the banquet hall.
He was puzzled when he saw Jiang Jingchen still there, eating nonchalantly. Was his scene not over yet?
Jiang Jingchen was eating leisurely. Dishes made by chefs hired by the Jiang family would undoubtedly taste good.
After eating half his fill, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Song Kai.
“Why are you looking at me? My surname is Jiang and this is my home while you are an outsider, yeah…”
Song Kai gritted his teeth and couldn’t be bothered with him.
Jiang Jingchen didn’t leave the Jiang residence. Instead, he went to his old bedroom upstairs.
He hadn’t been in this room for years. Seeing that the room was spotless, he figured that the servants probably cleaned it regularly. He opened the wardrobe, took out a bag and packed some things before he walked out of the room to find Jiang Xing.
When Jiang Xing saw him, he was very annoyed and roared angrily for him to get out.
Jiang Jingchen stood still. “Dad, I haven’t been back for years. 1 walked in openly this time and saw that someone had been cleaning my room. I’m quite touched.”
“I won’t force you to give me my share of Jiang Corporation. After all, I’m not good at managing business. I just needed some money to support myself.”
Jiang Xing didn’t say anything, but Jiang Jingchen didn’t mind. He continued, “I wasn’t a cheerful kid and didn’t interact much with you when 1 was young. I might not have been very sensible and might have acted rashly. Please don’t hold it against me, Dad.”
Jiang Xing looked at him doubtfully. Why did Jiang Jingchen suddenly say this?
Did his son just apologize to him to get on his good side?
Jiang Jingchen added, “I didn’t mean to hurt you. I just wanted to tell you that I’m still your son. Please don’t neglect me. Maybe I’m being childish here, but I sincerely wish you a happy birthday.”
“I packed some things to bring home with me. I’ve also discussed with my wife that after she graduates from university, we’ll have kids and let them call you Grandpa.”
Jiang Xing remained quiet. Jiang Jingchen sighed, turned and left with his bag.
Jiang Xing looked at his son’s back and remembered what a smart kid he was, what a quick learner, how proud he felt whenever he mentioned this son.
This kid was Jiang Xing’s son, a child prodigy with great prospects in the future.
But a car accident almost ruined his life. He became depressed after that and isolated himself from the world. Jiang Xing went from disappointment to indifference towards his eldest son.
However, this kid was still his flesh and blood. When he heard him say that his children would call him Grandpa, he thought about Jiang Minglang’s injuries.
If Jiang Minglang was emasculated, who would carry on the bloodline of the Jiang family?
His youngest son was still young, and his third child was a girl. The only one who could continue the bloodline was his eldest son, Jiang Jingchen.
His compassionate side was brought out and he felt a little guilty for neglecting Jiang Jingchen all these years.
He said, “Butler, give Jingchen a car, the newest one we have, and a card with a million yuan inside.”
The butler was surprised, but he did not dare to say anything. He just nodded respectfully.
When Jiang Jingchen was downstairs, he bumped into Song Kai and stopped in his tracks.
“Mr. Song Kai, you’re a very competent bootlicker. It suits you.”
“You! Jiang Jingchen, you have such a big mouth. Sooner or later, God will take care of you!”
“Oh? But I’m not superstitious. The God you’re talking about isn’t dependable anyway. If God really exists, your parents would still be alive.”
Song Kai’s parents were his Achilles’ heel. He raised his fist to punch Jiang Jingchen but Jiang Jingchen ducked.
He then took two steps forward. “Useless bugger. If you don’t have guts like Song Hai to murder someone, don’t mess with me!”
Song Yan’s eyes burned with anger when she heard Song Hai’s name. She pointed at him and cursed, “Jiang Jingchen, it’s you, it’s you. You deliberately brought Song Hai here to cause trouble!”
Jiang Jingchen sneered. “Auntie Song Yan, evidence is important. I didn’t even recognize Song Hai at first. How could 1 have brought him here?”
“Use your brain. The security here is so tight. How could I have sneaked in a living person?”
Song Yan retorted, “We didn’t even invite you, so how did you sneak in?”
Jiang Jingchen raised his voice. “I’m also a member of the Jiang family. Do 1 need an invitation to my own father’s birthday banquet? What a joke!”
“But, but you don’t have an invitation, you…”
“Jiang Minglang has been attacked and you are hurting. 1 sympathize with you, but what right do you have to blame me? Just because I’m the son of your husband’s ex-wife, 1 deserve your bullying, is that it?”
“You said before that you’ll settle the score with me. So, it must be you. Jiang Jingchen, you just wanted to humiliate me!” Song Yan roared angrily. She wished she could go forward and tear his face apart.
Jiang Jingchen’s expression became even calmer when he saw Song Yan so angry.
“What score do 1 have to settle with you? Auntie Song Yan, what nonsense are you talking about? If you made a fool of yourself and caused the Jiang family to lose face, what good would it do for me? I’m also a Jiang.”
“I know the principle of not washing our family’s dirty linen in public, but do you? Your own brother’s son attacked the second young master of the Jiang family. You even brought the Song b*astard to the Jiang residence. What did you have in mind? Did you want to ruin the Jiang family reputation or ruin my father’s birthday banquet?”
“I didn’t, I…”
“Enough!” Jiang Xing, who was standing on the second floor, shouted angrily. He looked at Song Yan coldly with obvious dissatisfaction.
The fiasco today had made him lose face. He was very unhappy with the Song family.
“Instead of wasting your energy arguing here, why don’t you go to the hospital and see how Minglang is doing? If anything happens to him, I’ll definitely not let the Song family off!”
Jiang Jingchen said righteously, “Dad, what happened today was very strange. 1 think someone has long planned to use Song Hai to ruin your birthday banquet. You should be careful.”
“I’ll definitely investigate. Be careful on the way back.”
“Okay, goodbye, Dad.”
What a scene of a loving father and filial son.
Song Kai was utterly convinced by Jiang Jingchen’s acting skills.
The best actors on television were all acting out someone’s script, and they had various guidance from the director.
But Jiang Jingchen was the scriptwriter, director and actor all rolled into one. He alone could beat an entire cast and crew!
The butler stopped Jiang Jingchen and handed him a car key and a bank card.
“First Young Master, Old Master asked me to give these to you.”
Jiang Jingchen didn’t stand on ceremony, took the things and put them in his pocket.
“Please thank my father for me.”
He walked a few steps and felt that something was amiss. He turned around, walked back into the house and said to Jiang Xing with a smile, “Dad, 1 didn’t expect you to remember my requests. Thank you for the car and the money.”
“If my wife knew that I have so much money, she would be so happy that she would even wash her hands and make soup for me.”
He turned and left happily, as if the only purpose he was here today was to celebrate his father’s birthday.
Jiang Xing watched as he walked away and thought about something. He sighed and looked at Song Yan and Song Kai with anger and disdain in his eyes.
“Why aren’t you going to the hospital yet? Are you waiting for me to carry you there?”
“I, I’m going now.” Song Yan came back to her senses and asked the butler to get the car ready.
When they arrived at the hospital, Jiang Minglang had already come out of the operating theater. Song Yan quickly went to ask the doctor if Jiang Minglang’s manhood could be salvaged..
