"Is the Jiang family on TV the same one that had a political marriage with Di Jue Group?" Di Jianhan asked.
The old lady was surprised by the quiet bankruptcy of the Jiang family, and she also felt regretful.
The Jiang family and Di Jue Group had progressed side by side, with not much difference. Di Jue Group itself had almost faced bankruptcy back then, but fortunately, it was led by Di Mingjue.
The old lady sighed and said, "Yes."
"Di Mingjue did well in this regard. Although it was a political marriage, he didn't let that woman lead him around and waste his energy helping other companies through difficulties," Di Jianhan praised with satisfaction.
It had always been said that businessmen were heartless, and this was fully displayed in Di Jianhan.
The old lady glanced at him and said, "Don't say that in front of them."
"What's the big deal?" Di Jianhan said with disdain. "Work and personal matters should be kept separate. Even if she's angry, she has to bear it."
Seeing that he wouldn't listen to her advice, the old lady was too lazy to argue further.
The dining table was already filled with food, and the bowls and chopsticks were neatly arranged with the busy work of the servants.
The butler came to inquire about the old lady's arrangements.
"Madam, dinner is ready."
The old lady glanced at the second floor and said, "Go and call them down to eat together."
"Wait." Di Jianhan interrupted, "Let Sisi go. It's a good chance to improve her relationship with Mingjue."
Thinking of the experience of delivering fruit platters that afternoon, Lu Sisi shook her head and refused, "Forget it, Mingjue Ge won't come down if I go."
"How can that be?" Di Jianhan dismissed her words and insisted on her going up.
The old lady on the side couldn't bear to watch and instructed the butler to go up.
A moment later, the butler came down alone and relayed Di Mingjue's words.
"Young Master says they are dining in their room."
"In their room? That woman must have said that!" Di Jianhan's tone was filled with anger.
With elders waiting downstairs, how could a junior like them demand to dine upstairs and refuse to come down?
Ignoring the old lady's advice, Di Jianhan insisted on going upstairs.
"Is something wrong?" Di Mingjue blocked the doorway, coldly stopping the imposing Di Jianhan.
"Come downstairs to eat. Grandma is waiting for you downstairs."
His imposing aura was halved by Di Mingjue's calm gaze. Under Di Mingjue's stare, Di Jianhan had to reconsider their father-son relationship.
"You all eat, don't wait for us," Di Mingjue said, not taking his invitation to heart.
The butler coming forward was not effective, but even when his father personally came forward, the result was the same.
The sound of being slapped in the face was resounding.
Lowering his head and taking a deep breath, Di Jianhan played the emotional card, "My father and son haven't seen each other in years, nor have we eaten together in years. I don't know how long this old bone of mine can last, and the opportunities for family meals are few and far between."
Inside the room, Jiang Ziyu, holding the awakened Qianqian, appeared behind Di Mingjue and said, "Mingjue, let's go downstairs and eat with everyone!"
Di Mingjue turned back and said, "It's okay, it's the same even if we don't go down."
To Di Jianhan, these words carried a different meaning.
As expected, it was her doing!
No, this kind of woman must not be allowed to stay in the Di family!
Di Jianhan seized the opportunity and said, "She's already said it, and you're still unwilling to go down?"
Sensing his implication, Jiang Ziyu glanced at him and said to Di Mingjue, "Let's go down." If they didn't go down soon, the person in front of them might not only use family ties to manipulate him but also say other things.
Upon going downstairs, Di Jianhan wore a smug look. He entirely attributed the credit of Di Mingjue agreeing to come down to his words, believing he had found a way to control him.
When taking his seat, Di Jianhan deliberately had Lu Sisi sit next to Di Mingjue. This way, he could constantly see her when he looked up to serve food.
His little plan was working perfectly, but unfortunately, no one present was easily fooled.
Di Mingjue, throughout the meal, leaned to the side and placed food onto Jiang Ziyu's plate.
