Jiang Zhihan didnât know that Song Qingyou was going to give him a big gift.
After learning that the other party had accepted the necklace, he even asked
Fang Yan for some details.
For example, how was Song Qingyouâs mood?
Fang Yan did not understand. âHer mood⦠Iâm sorry, Mr. Jiang. I canât tell.â
âWas she anxious?â
âNo, I didnât think so?â
Jiang Zhihan felt slightly relieved.
Fang Yan did not hear a response and continued to report,
âI was worried that Miss Song wouldnât accept such an expensive gift, so I didnât tell her what it was. I even said that the company would give gifts to our partners during the holidaysâ¦â
In the end, he was worried that Jiang Zhihan would get angry.
But that was impossible. After all, the latter knew Song Qingyouâs personality better.
âYou did the right thing.â Jiang Zhihan said, âPrepare an extra gift for every holiday.â
âIs it the same as everyone elseâs, or-â
âWeâll talk about it when the time comes.â
Even though Jiang Zhihan knew that the Celebrity Impact Rankings would be released once every three months, he couldnât be sure if Song Qingyouâs fall in ranking would affect his waking up time.
âAlso, thereâs one more thing.â
Fang Yan paused for a moment, feeling that this matter might be the most important.
âBefore I left, Miss Song suddenly asked me if you just woke up todayâ¦â
âThen how did you answer?â
Jiang Zhihan couldnât help but interrupt.
Song Qingyou must have thought that he had something to do with Zhizhiâs coma.
His tone instantly became sharp, making Fang Yan feel shocked. A few seconds later, he came back to his senses.
âDonât worry, I didnât reveal your physical condition.â
Jiang Zhihan heaved a sigh of relief, âContinue.â
âMiss Song seems to believe it⦠However, I donât know how Miss Song found out that you only woke up today. Should we investigate and monitorâ¦â
âNo need.â
Jiang Zhihan rejected the suggestion without hesitation.
He was right next to Song Qingyou, so why would he need to monitor her?
âBut only the doctor and I know about your conditionâ¦â Fang Yan was puzzled.
âI accidentally revealed it last time.â Jiang Zhihan said, âIf she asks again, donât do anything unnecessary. Just keep it a secret.â
Before he could finish his sentence, a voice suddenly came from behind the bushes.
âWhat secret? Zhihan, who are you talking to?â
Jiang Zhihan hung up the phone. âIâm talking to Assistant Fang.â
âWhy is Grandpa here?â
A white-haired old man walked out. His originally dignified expression softened a little when he saw his grandson.
âThe banquet has already started, but I didnât see you anywhere. I could only look for you in the garden.â
He raised his hand, and the butler behind him took a few steps back to give the grandfather and grandson some space to talk.
âWhat were you talking to your assistant about? What do you want to keep a secret?â
âItâs something at the company.â Jiang Zhihan knew that the old man wasnât easy to fool, so he found an excuse, âI told Fang Yan to keep it a secret from Father.â
âIt should be kept a secret.â
The old manâs expression was unfriendly. âSince youâre in charge of the company, donât give your father a chance! He was bewitched by that woman. If I hadnât asked the butler to call him today, he wouldnât have planned to come back!â
âThat womanâ the old man was talking about was Jiang Quanâs second wife, Dong Xi.
Dong Xi was only three years older than Jiang Zhihan. She was a model and a mistress.
The old master had always looked down on her. If it wasnât for Jiang Quan threatening him with his death and causing a huge commotion, Dong Xi wouldnât have been able to enter the Jiang family.
The reason why Jiang Zhihan hated Dong Xi was that Dong Xi was after the Jiang familyâs assets, and Jiang Quan brought Dong Xi into his family less than a month after Xu Ruzhi (Jiang Zhihanâs mother) died.
Even if the two of them had just gotten married, Jiang Quan should not have done this!
âGrandpa, donât be angry.â
Jiang Zhihan stepped forward to help the old man.
He wanted the old man to ignore Jiang Quanâs life, but Jiang Quan was the old manâs son. If Jiang Zhihan said that, he would be making things difficult for the old man.
Moreover, he might even be pointed at by his grandpa and scolded for being unfilial.
When the two of them returned to the banquet hall, many people looked over.
The Jiang family invited not only relatives but also close business partners.
Jiang Quan emerged from the crowd and criticized Jiang Zhihan, âHow old are you? Donât you know that you have to entertain the guests well at the banquet? You actually want your grandfather to go out and look for you personally. I think youâre really getting worse and worse!â
The scantily dressed beautiful woman held his arm and leaned against him as if she had no bones.
âHubby, donât say that. Zhihan definitely didnât do it on purpose. He must have something to deal with at the company. Canât we just help him entertain the guests?â
âWhy are you still speaking up for him? This brat didnât even greet you! He has no manners at all!â
âYou know I donât mind thisâ¦â
These two people had been like this since the beginning, parroting and echoing each other.
Those who didnât know better would think that they had a good relationship.
Jiang Zhihan didnât even flinch.
He turned his head and gave the butler a look.
The butler immediately stepped forward. âMadam, do you have an invitation to this banquet?â
Dong Xiâs face turned pale. How could she have an invitation? Wasnât this a family banquet? She grabbed Jiang Quanâs sleeve aggrievedly. âHubby, Iâ¦â
âWeâre all family. Why do we need an invitation?â Jiang Quan hugged her, his face full of displeasure.
âIf you donât have an invitation, please leave!â The butler said coldly.
âWhat is the meaning of this?â Jiang Quan snapped, âJiang Zhihan! You must have ordered this! Are you looking down on me, your father?â
Jiang Zhihan couldnât be bothered to listen to their nonsense. âAsk the security guards to take her away,â he ordered.
âJiang Zhihan!â Jiang Quan stomped his feet in anger. âDad! Look at your grandson. He doesnât even put me in his eyes!â
Old Master Jiang sat down and said firmly, âFor the Jiang family banquet, you canât enter without an invitation. This is the rule.â
Jiang Quan still wanted to say something, but he was frightened back by the old manâs gaze.
He knew that there was no room for negotiation, so he flung his sleeves and turned to leave angrily.
âI donât have an invitation either. Then Iâll follow!â
âSir?â The butler looked at the old man.
Jiang Zhihan said, âDonât worry about them.â
He watched Jiang Quan leave, his dark green eyes like a frozen lake.
After so many years, he had long lost all hope for this person.
The old man didnât say anything.
After the commotion had subsided, he said, âItâs fine that you chased that woman out, but why did you let your father leave with her? What will outsiders say about you behind your back?â
Jiang Zhihan didnât respond.
He knew that the old man wanted the father and son to reconcile.
However, Jiang Quan had let his mother down and disappointed him again and again. He would not get along with him no matter what.
Moreover, his mother had died because of him.
Old Master Jiang sighed.
âYou guys! Why do biological father and son have to fight like this?â
âYour father is the same. He only has you as his son.. He doesnât know how to treat you betterâ¦â
