Jiang Beichen returned to the Lu family and woke up. He slowly sat up and looked around. It was already dark.
Distant starlight twinkled, light and shadow flickering.
He slowly lowered his head and looked at himself. It seemed he was really old to have slept for so long.
"Dad, let's get out of the car. I'll help you back to rest." Lu Chengsi opened the car door. Seeing his pale face, his heart clenched with pain.
"Mmm!" Jiang Beichen nodded slightly. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Jiang Wei.
He frowned slightly, his stern face showing little emotion. "Is something wrong?"
Jiang Wei knew the old man was tired but had no choice. "Chairman, Second Master's family came here to cause trouble, saying that the young lady has stopped their shares and they can't survive this month. Madam argued with them, and the young master's eldest and second brothers also learned the truth. Now the living room is full of people from the Lu and Jiang families, waiting for the chairman and the young master to return and resolve the matter."
Jiang Beichen knew his younger brother wouldn't stop causing trouble, but he didn't expect them to come and stir up trouble so quickly.
"Cheng Si..." He looked at his son, very apologetic for causing him trouble.
Lu Chengsi gave a wry smile and said to him, "Dad, you don't need to feel sorry. My two older brothers and I are only on friendly terms on the surface. I endured it for Mom. It's good that things have come to light now, saving them from constantly coveting everything in the Lu family."
Jiang Beichen knew that the matter would eventually have to be resolved. He nodded slightly, "Let's go, we'll go in."
"Alright!"
Lu Chengsi glanced at Mu Jiuchen and said, "Xiao Jiu, bring the peaches from the car."
Mu Jiuchen nodded slightly. "Okay!"
Lu Chengsi didn't treat him as an outsider, which made him very happy.
As they entered, the living room was filled with people.
Jin Yan had a bad complexion and sat on a single sofa. Seeing her husband return, she breathed a sigh of relief. These people had been causing trouble all day.
She was about to collapse!
"Eldest Brother, you're finally back." Second Master Jiang walked to Jiang Beichen's side and asked with concern, "Eldest Brother, is your body feeling any better?"
Jiang Beichen's stern face was filled with anger, and his voice was icy cold. "You still dare to come?"
Second Master Jiang was stunned, his old face feeling a little awkward. Could he not come? If he didn't come, there would be no way to survive.
"No, Eldest Brother, how can that brat Nuan Nuan be so heartless? She stopped the shares so readily. Does she still have you, her grandfather, in her eyes?"
"Shut up!" Jiang Beichen wished he could hit his useless brother.
"Nuan Nuan did nothing wrong. She even did things I couldn't bear to do all these years. Out of kinship, I supported you, but what have you done to me? You tried to kill me and divide my assets. Second brother, with your intelligence, can you even do business?"
"Go back. I don't owe you anything. I've given you everything I should have over the years, and even things I shouldn't have. It's you who are not satisfied. I will never help your family again. From now on, we are severed."
Jiang Beichen spoke calmly, but his heart was bleeding.
This was his only brother, greedy and insatiable, with many schemes behind his back. He had even tried to harm his granddaughter to get his money. Such a person was beyond saving.
Second Master Jiang was stunned. He never expected his elder brother to be so ruthless. He looked at Lu Chengsi and became agitated. "Eldest Brother, do you feel that you've found your son and have someone to take care of you now, so you don't need us anymore?" Second Master Jiang craned his neck to find an excuse.
Jiang Beichen smiled at his son, feeling very gratified. "Second brother, I found my son. Are you anxious that the assets you've been coveting after my death will be gone?"
Second Master Jiang was stunned, his face very bad. He replied unnaturally, "Eldest Brother, what are you talking about? How could I possibly have such thoughts? Your assets are worth hundreds of millions. I just want some retirement funds and to make life a little better for your nephews and nieces. How dare I have such thoughts?"
"Hmph! If you dare not, why were you lying in the hospital?" Jiang Beichen suddenly became angry.
"You all leave. From now on, our relationship is severed." Jiang Beichen never changed his mind once he made a decision.
Moreover, since they had tried to kill him, he would no longer show any mercy.
"Eldest Brother, I... I was wrong. Please restore those shares, otherwise, how can our entire family live? We still owe the bank money for the villa we bought. Eldest Brother, can you just watch us go beg for food?" Second Master Jiang knew his elder brother's resolute character.
Seeing his determined stance, he immediately became anxious.
Jiang Beichen took a deep breath and glanced at him. He had been very tired all these years. If he hadn't been focused on finding his son, he didn't know if he could have survived until now.
He walked over and sat down, his face full of exhaustion. Looking at the crowd in the room, each with their own ulterior motives, his expression grew colder.
"No matter what your purpose is for being here today, I just want to tell you all: never think of relying on others to live. Only by living with your own abilities can you have a good life. Stop thinking of getting something for nothing. If you want lasting peace, you must carve out your own path."
Lu Chengsi's eldest brother snorted, "Old man, you're saying the wrong thing. Everyone here is part of the same family. Why do you live so well, while we can only live by depending on you?"
Jiang Beichen looked at him with a cold gaze. "You don't have to rely on Cheng Si to live either. Does he owe you anything?"
Lu Chengfeng was stunned and wanted to retort, but he heard Jiang Beichen continue, "Although Cheng Si is not your biological brother, you have benefited from the shares all these years and still don't want to live your lives properly? Must you be content only after losing everything?"
"If you had any ability, you could have earned a lot of money with the shares you hold, but have you ever tried?"
"You receive hundreds of thousands every month just by extending your hand, while Cheng Si and Jinyue have to constantly socialize and negotiate collaborations to ensure you have money every month. You only see what they have, but do you not see what they have put in?"
"You can spend your days with your wives and children, while they have to squeeze out time for a meal every day. Don't you have hearts?"
Lu Chengfeng's words were all dispelled by Jiang Beichen's few sentences.
The old man was right. If they angered Lu Chengsi, they wouldn't even have their basic living security.
Lu Chengzai said with some unwillingness, "Although we are not biological brothers, our Lu family raised him."
Jiang Beichen nodded slightly. "We have never denied this. I am very grateful to your mother for raising my son so well. But that's not a reason for you to be greedy. Because of this kindness, must my son be at your mercy forever? Since he grew up, he has been supporting you all. Hasn't this debt of gratitude been repaid over so many years?" Jiang Beichen's last sentence was particularly heavy, and the pain in his heart gradually spread throughout his body.
For money, they were truly capable of any evil!
Lu Chengzai's face turned red with anger, but he had nothing to say. How could Lu Chengsi not be his biological brother? The family business had instantly become the Jiang family's. No one would be content with this.
He paused for a moment and then said, "We have no other requests, only half of the Lu family's assets."
