He once thought of leaving some dignity for Lu Shuangshuang, after all, she is a woman, and no matter what, a lady shouldnât be utterly embarrassed like this.
Itâs a touch of gentlemanly demeanor in his bones. Thatâs also why he tolerated Lu Shuangshuang staying at the Jiang Family for so many days.
But Lu Shuangshuang had no intention of holding back and pulled off the island stunt.
If he continued to treat Lu Shuangshuang with dignity and courtesy, finding Xiao Qing later would be a harm to Xiao Qing.
"Yes, Iâll have them arrange it immediately."
When the newspaper comes out, Old Lu and his family might not be able to stay in D State anymore.
However, Jiang Shihengâs acceptance of the newspaper interview also caused quite a stir within the Jiang Family.
Some family members felt that doing so was akin to pressing the Lu Familyâs face to the ground, effectively tearing all pretenses with the Lu Family.
"Old Master, we have several seafood stores in Pingzhou that were planning to expand there. Now, will the Lu Family let us make money there properly?"
Fifth Master Jiangâs eldest daughter-in-law was quite anxious, "In D State, these donât fall to our family. We finally found opportunities and were about to make a big move, now with this mess, what should we do?"
Old Master Jiangâs face darkened.
"What do you mean by your family? Are you referring to the whole Jiang Family, or just thinking of you with Jitingâs little family?"
Jiang Jiting was Fifth Master Jiangâs eldest son and the cousin of Sixth Young Master Jiang.
If itâs for the entire Jiang Family, then it should be about advancing and retreating together with Jiang Shiheng; the Jiang Family should have dignity, even if they were originally only merchants!
The Lu Family has already humiliated them so much. Lu Shuangshuang blatantly involved herself with another man yet pretended to be deeply devoted to Sixth Young Master and kept acting as if she were his wife, enjoying all the benefits the Jiang Family offered. She created such a facade of deep affection, and when Sixth Young Master returned, she repeatedly tried to go to his yard. With another manâs child in her belly, does she still want Sixth Young Master to gratefully marry her?
This is truly beyond tolerance.
Under such circumstances, if the Jiang Family still doesnât get angry and only thinks about business, they would really become a laughingstock!
What would outsiders think of them?
Now, they have no choice but to tear the veil with the Lu Family!
Unless the Lu Family willingly admits thereâs another manâs child in Lu Shuangshuangâs belly and then reveals that manâs identity!
But given Old Master Luâs current stance, they havenât considered this at all, nor shown any signs of remorse; instead, they still intend to scheme against the Jiang Family!
Then itâs war.
"Uncle, what do you mean by this? So Xiao Sixth belongs to the Jiang Family, but Jiting and I donât? Also, when Xiao Sixth returns, he has Uncle to support and protect him. Uncleâs branch only has the two of you left, so as they say, one who eats alone never starves; just the two of you wouldnât eat much, but Jiting and I are different. We have several kids and a big family under us, with so many people. If we donât make good money, what will the whole family eat and drink?"
Before she could finish, Fifth Master Jiang slammed the table, "What kind of talk is that, eldest daughter-in-law? You should apologize to your uncle!"
Havenât you seen how Old Master Jiangâs face turned completely dark?
What does it mean to say their branch has many descendants; is this implying that Old Master Jiangâs branch only left him and Sixth Young Masterâs grandson, dwindling in numbers?
