Chapter 239
by 林方方Chapter 239 Expelled from Home
Old Master Jiang Tiancang finally couldn’t listen anymore and slammed the table hard: “Everyone shut up!”
His words came a bit late, as due to Jiang Zilong’s careless remarks earlier, all the Jiang family members in the hall had already shifted their gaze to Jiang Yigang!
Being stared at by so many people, the humiliation from five years ago surged in his mind once again!
The muscles on Jiang Yigang’s face trembled slightly, but his eyes were completely cold.
Five years ago, when Su Rui crippled both his legs, he endured so much contempt and mockery. The gossip behind his back was enough to drown him several times over!
Compared to that time, what did these stares matter now?
Jiang Yigang kept staring straight ahead, his expression gloomy, not saying a word—since five years ago, this had almost become his default expression.
Seeing his once most outstanding grandson reduced to this state, a trace of sympathy appeared on Jiang Tiancang’s aged face.
Thinking of this, he became even more angry about Jiang Zilong’s careless remarks earlier, his anger reaching its peak.
Jiang Yigang had already endured too much, so why rub salt in his wounds now?
“Jiang Zilong, you think you’re right?” Jiang Tiancang coldly snorted!
That snort made everyone’s hearts tremble!
“I wouldn’t dare, Zilong was just stating the facts!” Jiang Zilong was still being stubborn, the anger provoked by Bai Lanmei hadn’t subsided yet!
It seemed that Jiang Yihe’s mother Bai Lanmei was no simple character either. Every sentence she spoke seemed like simple mockery during an argument, but was actually precisely targeted, hitting vital points. With just two or three sentences, she had trapped Jiang Zilong!
Indeed, these people who lived amid family power struggles couldn’t survive long without some skills! They would have been eliminated many times over!
“Still being stubborn!”
Jiang Tiancang was furious at being talked back to by his own son!
“Three minutes left, let’s see how you explain yourself then!” Jiang Tiancang’s decisive nature made cold sweat break out on Jiang Zilong’s body again!
“After three minutes, Jiang Yibo will be removed from the family!” Jiang Tiancang said angrily.
Hearing this, Jiang Yihe looked at his watch, a smile appearing on his face.
Just three minutes, he didn’t believe his brother could arrive in time. It seemed he would have one less powerful competitor!
Meanwhile, the once-glorious eldest brother Jiang Yigang showed no expression, his gaze fixed on the floor in front of him. No one knew what he was thinking now.
As time passed, Jiang Zilong’s heart began to sink gradually!
“Damn that bastard, why cause trouble now of all times!”
Jiang Tiancang also looked at the grandfather clock in the hall and said in a terrifyingly low voice: “One minute left!”
Just then, a figure came running from a distance, panting heavily!
Jiang Yibo was covered in sweat. When he ran into the hall, he tripped over the threshold! He immediately lost his balance and fell flat on the ground!
Thud!
Jiang Yibo’s posture was truly pathetic, falling face-first onto the ground in front of everyone!
“Haha.”
Jiang Yihe couldn’t help but laugh out loud. But after laughing, he realized it was inappropriate, and his mother Bai Lanmei glared at him fiercely.
“Damn it!” Jiang Tiancang couldn’t bear to watch and slammed the table hard again!
Jiang Yibo’s nose was bleeding from the fall. Hearing the old master’s anger, he was terrified and didn’t even bother to wipe his nosebleed, crawling on his knees to Jiang Tiancang’s front!
Jiang Zilong said helplessly: “Hurry up and beg grandfather for mercy?”
“Yes, mercy, mercy…”
After thinking for two seconds, Jiang Yibo shouted: “Grandfather, spare my life!”
In his panic, who knows why he shouted such a thing!
Even Bai Lanmei and Jiang Bailu were about to burst into laughter. This Jiang Yibo was truly too pathetic, simply unbearable.
Seeing his grandson make such a disgraceful entrance and then cry out for mercy, Jiang Tiancang couldn’t contain his anger. He stood up and kicked him hard on the shoulder!
“Spare your life? Am I going to kill you? Is your brain damaged?” Jiang Tiancang kicked his grandson to the ground and cursed loudly!
“Grandfather, let me explain to you…”
“Explain?” Jiang Tiancang said angrily: “Fine, I want to hear what explanation you can come up with!”
Lying on the ground, Jiang Yibo was trembling inside, but he had to fight for a chance to survive. Otherwise, he would truly have nothing left.
“That video… the person in that video, it’s not me!” Jiang Yibo had thought about this for a long time on his way here, but this was the only plausible reason he could come up with!
He knew the authenticity of the video would be hard to verify. If he said someone had superimposed his face onto the footage, then things would become uncertain! This was his breakthrough point!
“Not you? If not you, then who?” Jiang Tiancang’s face was full of anger: “Isn’t that your face? Isn’t that your voice?”
Jiang Yibo gritted his teeth: “Grandfather, someone is deliberately framing me, they forged this video. Modern forgery techniques are very advanced…”
“This is not a forgery.” At this moment, Jiang Yihe suddenly stepped forward.
However, seeing her son step forward at this time, Bai Lanmei frowned and pulled his arm, indicating that he shouldn’t speak carelessly.
Ignoring his mother’s warning, Jiang Yihe shook his head.
“What evidence do you have that this video isn’t fake?” Seeing his cousin stand up to accuse him, Jiang Yibo became angry. Was he trying to kick him while he was down?
“To clear your name, I specifically had people verify the authenticity of this video, but everyone believed it was just ordinary footage with no technical manipulation whatsoever.” Jiang Yihe said with a cold smile: “This means the video is absolutely genuine!”
“You!” Jiang Yibo’s face turned red, but he couldn’t say a word! Of course he knew the video was real! Because it was him in it! But no matter what, he couldn’t admit it now!
“I said, that’s not me in there! I’ve never been to the Junlan Hotel in Ninghai!” Jiang Yibo shouted! His brother’s attempt to push him down made him feel heartbroken!
With these words, the hall became extremely quiet, as if you could hear a pin drop!
Jiang Tiancang was furious, and even Jiang Yibo’s father Jiang Zilong couldn’t bear it anymore—how did he end up with such a useless son!
Jiang Yihe was about to burst into laughter: “Well said, very well said! You’ve never been to the Junlan Hotel in Ninghai, but we never said you had!”
“Not only did we not mention it, even the video online didn’t specify it was filmed at the Junlan Hotel in Ninghai! How would you know it was in Ninghai? How would you know it was at Junlan?” Jiang Yihe’s words showed undisguised mockery!
Jiang Yibo’s face immediately fell! He knew he had misspoken, and this kind of mistake couldn’t be fixed!
Even if he were a genius, he couldn’t come up with another lie in this situation!
Jiang Tiancang said coldly: “Good, very good, very good!”
Because of his anger that couldn’t be expressed, Jiang Tiancang’s body was trembling slightly!
“Grandfather, spare me!” Jiang Yibo knew he could no longer deny it and cried out for mercy again.
Blood was still flowing from his nostrils, tears and mucus mixing together, making his face a mess.
“If you had the courage to admit what you did and showed determination to repent, I might have spared you once. After all, the Jiang family’s reputation has been severely damaged, and we must find ways to remedy it.”
Jiang Tiancang said: “But you did something and don’t dare to admit it, pushing all responsibility onto others, showing no accountability at all!”
Saying this, he slammed the table again, showing just how angry the old master was today!
“Doing something wrong and then making excuses when exposed, denying when excuses don’t work, and only admitting when you can’t deny anymore—this is the kind of person I despise the most!”
Jiang Tiancang’s words made Jiang Zilong’s body tremble! Since the old master spoke like this, it seemed the whole matter was beyond redemption!
“Grandfather, I don’t want this, I don’t want this!” Jiang Yibo cried out: “I don’t want to leave you, I still want to take good care of you in the future!”
Well, this guy was quite clever, now playing the emotional card.
Looking at his crying grandson, Jiang Tiancang fell silent. After all, grandparents’ love for their grandchildren is often greater than parents’, and he didn’t feel good about driving his grandson out like this.
Sensing an opportunity, Jiang Yibo started kowtowing rapidly: “Grandfather, I want to be filial to you. From childhood, only you have loved me the most. I can leave my parents, but I absolutely cannot leave you! You are my sky, if you’re not there, my sky will collapse…”
Jiang Yibo’s words made everyone present feel nauseated!
Jiang Tiancang remained silent!
Seeing his father like this, Jiang Zilong kept giving his son eye signals, and the latter understood, continuing to cry and shout!
But at this moment, Jiang Yihe sinisterly stepped forward to deliver another blow!
“Come on, Fourth Brother, I don’t see how filial you are to grandfather. You used to come home only once a year, and never brought gifts for grandfather. Like this time, you’ve been back from abroad for so many days but haven’t even entered the family compound. Yet you talk about being filial to grandfather? Who are you trying to fool?”
Hearing this, the hope that had just ignited in Jiang Yibo was instantly extinguished!
Without a doubt, Jiang Yihe was targeting him today! No matter what he said, the latter could always find a reason to oppose!
Jiang Yihe’s intelligence was fully displayed today! It seemed he wasn’t as foolish as he appeared on the surface!
Hearing the words of his other grandson, Jiang Tiancang’s old face alternated between blue and white!
Finally, he spoke.
“Jiang Yibo, expelled from the family. From now on, the Jiang family has no relationship with him!”
Hearing this, Jiang Yihe almost wanted to applaud! While Jiang Yibo lay limply on the ground, his face miserable!
“Father, please give Yibo one more chance!” Jiang Zilong also began to kneel and kowtow!
“My decision cannot be changed!”
With one sentence rejecting all who wanted to plead for mercy, Jiang Tiancang turned and left the hall!
At the same time, two tall bodyguards walked in and carried Jiang Yibo out!
Jiang Yibo struggled, but it was useless. The combined strength of the two men was too great, they carried him like a chicken!
Knowing there was no chance of redemption, as he was about to be taken out the door, Jiang Yibo looked venomously at Jiang Yihe and shouted at him: “Don’t think I don’t know, my situation is all your doing! I will get revenge on you, I will get revenge on you!”
Being cursed like this, Jiang Yihe wasn’t angry at all, but instead watched with interest as his brother was dragged further away!
From now on, the conflict between the Jiang brothers had moved from underground to the surface!
