"Since you've reached sixty years of age, why not take this opportunity to enjoy your retirement? What do you say, Mr. Jiang?" Di Mingjue's calm face uttered the coldest words.
Those present froze for a few seconds. Di Dongsheng let out a sigh, a half-smile on his face, "Tsk, those words are truly hard to accept."
The fawning smile froze on his face, his upturned lips trembling. Jiang Wenbin shifted uncomfortably, looking at Di Mingjue. The words he was about to retort were swallowed back.
Di Mingjue glanced at Di Dongsheng, shifting the topic from the Jiang Corporation to him, "I heard you've expanded your overseas projects?"
"I thought cousin spent his days with his wife, kids, and warm hearths. I didn't expect you'd actually pay attention to your cousin overseas. You truly move me." Di Dongsheng's words were laced with barbs, as if he had swallowed gunpowder, his mouth emitting a fiery scent.
Jiang Wenbin, who was huddled nearby, saw that the attention was no longer on him. He quietly turned his head, seeking other investment channels.
At today's banquet, both men and women were relatives of the Di family, and were considered prominent figures in the business world.
Jiang Ziyu saw Jiang Wenbin leave. She was not interested in the dispute between the two brothers. She started following Jiang Wenbin and, as he approached a group of people, she quickly stepped in front of him.
The foot that was stepping forward seemed to be attacked by a ghost upon seeing the face that suddenly appeared in front of it, and it jerked backward. Their left and right feet dodged separately, causing his body to tilt backward.
She grabbed his flailing hand and pulled Jiang Wenbin, who was about to fall.
It wasn't that she felt sorry for him, but today was the day the old lady had noticed, and she didn't want her personal matters to affect the banquet.
Seeing him stand steady, Jiang Ziyu let go of his hand. She coldly observed Jiang Wenbin, who looked guilty.
"You walk without making a sound. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and didn't fall." Jiang Wenbin showed no gratitude, callously patting the sleeve of his arm that Jiang Ziyu had touched.
Jiang Ziyu let out a cold laugh, "If you don't have a guilty conscience, why would you be so startled?"
"I'm not arguing with you." Jiang Wenbin knew he was in the wrong. He waved his arms haphazardly, trying to drive her away.
In many matters, as Jiang Ziyu had said, he was on shaky ground. However, he was still an elder, and it wasn't her place as a junior to lecture him.
Seeing that Jiang Ziyu wasn't leaving, Jiang Wenbin patted his sleeves, snorted coldly, and brushed past her.
"Just give up on that idea. No matter what you do, you can't salvage the current situation of the Jiang Corporation," Jiang Ziyu said to Jiang Wenbin's back.
Her return to the country this time was partly for Yu Ze and Qian Qian, and partly to reclaim her mother's share in the Jiang Corporation. More importantly, it was to make the bad guys who hurt her grandmother feel the suffering their grandmother had endured.
Jiang Wenbin felt a chill down his spine. He turned his head to meet Jiang Ziyu's indignant gaze.
A shiver ran through him, and goosebumps erupted all over his body.
Having given her warning, Jiang Ziyu did not repeat herself. She turned and looked at Wu Xuerou, who was looking down at her from the second-floor balcony.
The other party offered a friendly smile, to which Jiang Ziyu responded with a cold look.
Upstairs, Zhao Yanxia walked up behind Wu Xuerou.
"What? You gave her a nice smile, and she didn't respond?" Zhao Yanxia mocked.
In this family, the person she disliked the most was Wu Xuerou. In her mind, Wu Xuerou posed no threat to her.
Now that a formidable character like Jiang Ziyu had arrived, Wu Xuerou was a rather useful pawn.
Zhao Yanxia rested her hands on the railing, looking down at the bustling scene below. "All in all, it's because second brother is useless and has no say in the Di family. Otherwise, would she put on such a high and mighty air in front of you?"
"Then what should we do? Ruihe joined the company but didn't get any real power," Wu Xuerou asked.
"It's very simple." Zhao Yanxia leaned on Wu Xuerou's shoulder, intimately clinging to her ear.
After a string of words, Wu Xuerou looked up at her with an unbelievable gaze, her eyes filled with confidence.
