Chapter 1422: Chapter 1423: You’re Not Worthy of Her!

A storm has temporarily subsided.

Chang Zifa was busy handling his own matters and naturally had no time to concern himself with Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen was happy to enjoy the peace and quiet.

Meanwhile, Liu Siyu had returned because, just today, a major company from Wo Nation had signed a collaboration agreement with Dashang Group.

This achievement was credited to Liu Siyu.

Shang Qingcheng took the opportunity to promote Liu Siyu to the position of Manager of Marketing Division One.

This left Liu Siyu feeling deeply grateful.

However, she knew she still had many shortcomings, so she worked even harder in her new managerial role.

Chen Simin and Zhong Na had become much more obedient now, as the Marketing Division had significantly reduced redundant staff.

After the events last time, more than half of the team in Marketing Division One left.

The new hires were mostly newcomers.

They were more willing to listen to Liu Siyu.

Quiet times always have someone stirring up unrest.

In the Capital City, at the Xiao Family.

Today, Jiang Meng welcomed a few visitors.

They were from Glazed Glass City’s Jiang Family.

Had they not appeared this time, Jiang Meng would have almost forgotten about them.

“Jiang Meng, I heard you’re planning to hold another wedding with Xiao Chen right here in the Capital City?”

Jiang Yurong asked.

Jiang Yurong was the Old Madam of Glazed Glass City’s Jiang Family.

Jiang Meng called her “Great-Grandmother.”

Now that Jiang Meng had written Linhai’s Jiang Family into the clan registry of the entire Jiang Clan, she could be considered part of the Jiang Clan.

Jiang Yurong was not only the Old Madam of Glazed Glass City’s Jiang Family but also the Clan Leader of the Jiang Clan.

She had always been dissatisfied with Jiang Meng’s marriage.

On countless occasions and through various means nationwide, she had attempted to get Jiang Meng divorced from Xiao Chen.

This time, upon hearing rumors of Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng planning another wedding, she became anxious.

She brought her son, Jiang Cheng, and her eldest grandson, Jiang Wanying, to the Capital City.

Jiang Cheng didn’t actually think much of Jiang Yurong, but since the family was part of the Jiang Clan, he had to observe basic courtesies.

Jiang Meng nodded and replied, “That’s right, Xiao Chen did mention hosting another grand wedding for me, and it should be happening soon! I just haven’t had time to notify anyone yet. How did you find out already?”

“You! For such an important matter, why didn’t you consult with the elders of the clan?

You’re no longer just an individual; you represent the face of the Jiang Clan!”

Jiang Yurong sighed and said, “You must understand, most of the clan opposes your marriage to Xiao Chen. Even if you keep things low-key, that would be acceptable.

But now you’re planning a grand wedding for the world to see—do you want everyone to know?”

Jiang Meng replied indifferently, “This isn’t up for discussion with you. My husband wants to host a grand wedding for me, treating me like a queen.

Why would I object?

Besides, is Xiao Chen disgraceful?

You all really lack foresight.

He intends to hold a grand wedding in the Capital City—how bad could it be?”

“Hmph, don’t defend him. Isn’t the money from your pocket anyway?”

Jiang Yurong snorted coldly and said, “When you weren’t part of the Jiang Clan, I wouldn’t bother to intervene. However, now that Linhai’s Jiang Family has joined the Jiang Clan, you must abide by the clan’s rules!”

Jiang Meng frowned.

She began to reconsider whether she had made a mistake in joining the Jiang Clan to fulfill her father’s dying wish.

Looking at the situation now, it truly felt like trouble.

“Here’s the deal. Bring Xiao Chen back here, and we’ll talk with him. Even if you don’t divorce him, you must cancel this so-called grand wedding—it’s too embarrassing!”

Jiang Yurong said.

“Why are you looking for me?”

Xiao Chen, hearing that people from the Jiang Clan had arrived, promptly rushed back from Dashang Group.

Things there had largely stabilized; he wasn’t needed for much anymore. While Xiao Renyi was still keeping an eye on him, it wouldn’t be long before that was resolved—it was a small matter. The real priority was his wife.

“Kneel!”

Jiang Yurong slammed the table.

“Great-Grandmother, Xiao Chen isn’t accustomed to kneeling for anyone,”

Jiang Meng frowned and said.

“Unaccustomed or not, he must kneel. He’s merely a live-in son-in-law of our Jiang Clan. Throughout history, live-in sons-in-law have had no status.

They’re not even as good as servants.

Jiang Meng likes you—that’s fine.

But not kneeling before us? Do you think that’s acceptable?”

Jiang Yurong said coldly.

“Even my parents never made me kneel. Just what are you to me, demanding I kneel?”

Xiao Chen sneered, “If it weren’t for Jiang Meng, you Jiang Clan are nothing in my eyes—I’d already taken care of this!”

“Good! Excellent! Jiang Meng, this is your so-called good husband!”

Jiang Yurong was furious but unable to make Xiao Chen kneel. Coldly, she said, “Let me tell you, Xiao Chen: no one in the Jiang Clan approves of your marriage to Jiang Meng.

Jiang Meng refused to divorce you—so we yielded. But the grand wedding? That absolutely cannot happen!”

“And let me tell you, Jiang Yurong!”

Xiao Chen sneered, “You may control the heavens and the earth, but you don’t control Xiao Chen!

Jiang Meng joining the Jiang Clan is your honor, not an opportunity for you to put on airs. The grand wedding will happen!

Oppose it if you will; agree if you must—it makes no difference.

On the wedding day, you may attend if you wish; if not, I won’t bother inviting you!”

“Despicable! Aren’t you afraid we might expel Linhai’s Jiang Family from the Jiang Clan?”

Jiang Yurong growled.

“Heh, suit yourself. Sooner or later, even the position of Clan Leader of the Jiang Clan will belong to Jiang Meng. You old hag—why not enjoy your retirement instead of interfering in petty things?”

Xiao Chen mocked.

That remark nearly drove Jiang Yurong to her grave from anger.

“Enough, Great-Grandmother. I’ll make my own decisions about my matters. Please attend the wedding when the time comes.”

Jiang Meng didn’t want to keep arguing over this issue.

“Fine! Your wings have grown, and the Jiang Clan can no longer control you. Very well, I’ll take a step back and won’t interfere with the wedding.

But there’s one condition you must agree to.”

Jiang Yurong suddenly said.

Xiao Chen paused for a moment. This old hag was retreating strategically. Clearly, she knew she couldn’t stop the wedding.

Her sly move suggested the real demand was coming next.

What an old fox.

“What condition?”

Jiang Meng asked.

“It’s very simple. Xiao Chen’s biological mother, Huang Ningxia, and foster mother, Shang Qingcheng, cannot attend the wedding!”

Jiang Yurong said.

“What logic is that?”

Xiao Chen asked.

“Don’t you understand? Huang Ningxia is the Huang Family’s cast-off, holding deep grudges against them!

Shang Qingcheng, on the other hand, is at daggers drawn with the Shang Clan Leader.

If these two women appear, the Jiang Clan will be scrutinized by both the Huang Family and the Shang Clan—we don’t want that kind of trouble.”

Jiang Yurong said.

“Bullshit!”

Xiao Chen cursed.

No matter the logic, his soul power and his two mothers being barred were impossible to accept.

“Let me tell you, old hag: the Jiang Clan can choose to skip the wedding—that’s fine. As long as my mother-in-law is there, it’s enough.

But my mothers must attend the wedding, and neither the Huang Family nor the Shang Clan can stop them!”

Xiao Chen said grimly.

“You’ve got some nerve saying that. Let me tell you, I’ve investigated thoroughly. You’re nothing more than an employee in Dashang Group’s Marketing Division.

From bad to worse, that’s what you’ve become.

Jiang Meng, on the other hand, is the chairwoman of Xinmeng Group—a corporation worth billions.

What do you have to measure up to her? There’s an ever-growing gap between the two of you!

Don’t delay her or harm her future. Neither the Huang Family nor the Shang Clan are adversaries you can afford to provoke!”

Jiang Yurong mocked.
