Chapter 799: Kong Fang
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
This banquet seemed to be organized by Jiang Haoting, but it wasn’t the case. Jiang Haoting was sitting in that position, and sometimes, he had to avoid suspicion, so… In fact, the person holding the banquet was Jiang Haoting’s other right-hand man, the Jiang Ning’an family.
It was also his Third Brother and sister-in-law’s family.
Although Jiang Haoting’s Third Brother, Jiang Haishu, and his chess piece, An Ru, had passed away, the Jiang Ning’an family had a big business, but it had always existed.
Not only that, the An family had many descendants. If it wasn’t for the fact that they were young, their future would have been limitless.
However, Jiang Haoting did have foresight. Even though his Third Brother and his wife had passed away, he still didn’t forget to use his only nephew as a link between the two families.
Therefore, the Jiang family had originally suffered a huge setback, lost military power, and had a huge scandal. Now that the An family had appeared, no one would suspect anything.
Although everyone knew it, they still had to give them face.
The Kong family would naturally be invited. Their main goal was to resolve the conflict between the Kong family and the Jiang family. Of course, the conflict on the surface had to be resolved no matter what.
The marriage between Jiang Haoming and Kong Fang could no longer be maintained. However, apart from being in-laws, the two families hoped that there wouldn’t be too many political conflicts.
After all, the current Jiang family was already facing enemies from both sides. If the Kong family continued to oppose the Jiang family behind their backs, then it
was hard to say whether the Jiang family would be able to peacefully survive the remaining six years of their political career.
Therefore, this banquet should be said to be the Jiang family’s banquet and wine.
As for why people outside of Yan Kuan’s system would participate, that wasn’t just related to the Chen family. It was also related to the An family. This matter would be brought up later.
On this end, Kong Fang had come with her big brother. As the current head of the Kong family, Kong Lingqi had been in high spirits recently. After all, it was not like the Kong family could not interfere in the future of China.
His little sister’s divorce was only the first step. The difference between the Kong family and the Jiang family was that even if they wanted to make a move, they had to protect their own family members well before making a move. They had to return all of them to their wings, even if they had to avoid being threatened by the other party. It was also to prevent their family members from being put in a difficult position.
Therefore, just from this point alone, it was clear that even if the Kong family wasn’t as good as the Jiang family now, they might not be able to do so in the future. After all, other than Jiang Wenye who was in the army, the other members of the Jiang family could be said to be a mix of good and bad.
As for the relatives of the other branches, that was a matter for the future.
Once Kong Fang arrived, Qiu Shaowei took the initiative to walk over under Jiang Haotings signal.
Although Qiu Shaowei’s family had declined, she was once the daughter of a big family. She had her own way of dealing with people.
Over the years, she had helped Jiang Haoting win over people’s hearts. However, just as Qiu Shaowei was about to go see Kong Fang, Kong Fang cut her off and walked directly to Shen Xiaoxiao’s side.
Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan were originally standing together. When Yan Kuan saw Kong Fang walk over, the two of them nodded slightly as a greeting. After that, Yan Kuan walked to the other side, leaving Shen Xiaoxiao behind.
Shen Xiaoxiao was actually very curious about Kong Fang. After all, she had previously thought that Kong Fang was an extremely straightforward woman. However, she did not give in at all when it came to playing tricks.
“Madam Yan, I believe that you definitely have a lot of questions to ask me.”
Upon meeting her, Kong Fang directly said this. Shen Xiaoxiao was first shocked, then immediately laughed.
It was true that she was straightforward, and some of her scheming was also true. After all, in a family like theirs, without scheming, how could she become the little ancestors who were doted on by their older brothers?
“There was, but when I saw Sister Fang, there was none.”
“Hahahaha, Xiaoxiao, can I call you that? I quite like your personality.”
“I like Sister Fangs personality more. She can bend and stretch.”
“Xiaoxiao, you can say that too. If I couldn’t bend and stretch in such a family, I would have been sold countless times. My son would have become a machine long ago.”
“That’s why I said that Sister Fang can bend and stretch. But today’s gathering is for the Jiang and Kong families…”
“So what? On the surface, they look friendly, but that’s for outsiders to see. Only I know what the situation is like.”
“Take my ex-sister-in-law for example. In everyone’s heart, she’s the First Lady of China. Many people must be envious.”
“But I’ve been in the Jiang family for 20 years. I’ve seen more clearly than anyone else how happy she looks on the surface, and how much suffering she’s going through on the inside.”
“My nephew, Jiang Wenkang, has had congenital heart disease since he was young. If it weren’t for Jiang Haoting never allowing any flaws in his private life, the old lady would have divorced the two of them long ago.”
“Therefore, Qiu Shaowei doesn’t live as happily as everyone imagines all these years. Even if Nan Ya is pregnant with Jiang Haoting’s child, she still had to endure it.”
“However, Jiang Wenkang’s heart is failing, and he won’t be able to hold on for long. The Jiang family can’t wait to take Nan Ya back regardless of the rumors outside. They really don’t regard Qiu Shaowei as a person.”
“Qiu Shaowei can really endure it.”
“Endure? No matter how enduring a woman is, when her child’s interests are endangered, she will become a sharp blade. Not only can she hurt herself, but she can also hurt others.”
Kong Fangs words were like a hammer that struck Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart. Qiu Shaowei’s healt was probably not as strong as they had imagined.
“Tonight, the Kong and Jiang families should be able to reconcile as before, right?”
“Xiaoxiao, it’s so interesting to talk to you. Can’t we reconcile as before? It can’t be any better.”
“Fourth Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you.”
Just as the two were chatting happily, a female voice suddenly came from the side. The only person in the world who could call Kong Fang ‘Fourth Sister-in-law’ was Jiang Shuixian.
Shen Xiaoxiao and Kong Fang turned their heads at the same time. When Jiang Shuixian saw Shen Xiaoxiao, her expression was very ugly. But perhaps she had already received Qiu Shaowei’s instructions. Even if her expression was ugly, she didn’t say anything to stab anyone. Of course… the most direct way she chose was to ignore Shen Xiaoxiao.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t care about Jiang Shuixian’s method at all. She still stood by Kong Fan€s side with no intention of leaving. Kong Fang also held onto Shen Xiaoxiao’s arm and didn’t let go.
“Fourth Sister-in-law, I want to talk to you alone.”
“Madam Xie, don’t call us that. Your Fourth Sister-in-law is raising the baby in your house. Jiang Haoming and I have already signed the divorce agreement. I have no relationship with him anymore. Of course, I don’t have any kinship relations with you guys anymore. But we’re still friends. We can naturally greet each other when we meet.”
“Fourth Sister-in-law, how can you say that? In my heart, you have always been my Fourth Sister-in-law. Although Fourth Brother has done something wrong, he already knows that he has done something wrong. Moreover, how can that little singer be worthy of my Fourth Brother? She even wants to enter our Jiang family?
If it wasn’t for the child in her belly… ”
“Yes, she has already spoiled your Jiang family’s child. If she doesn’t enter your Jiang family, how can it be justified…”.
