CHAPTER 431: CHAPTER 431

On the night before the Jiang Family moved to Emperor City, Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man couldn’t sleep.

Because just a moment ago, they received a phone call from Fu Yiming.

Fu Yiming roughly meant to say that he and Jiang Weiwei had lost contact for a long time, and their feelings had already faded, so he wanted to formally propose to dissolve their engagement.

Jiang Guosheng agreed.

Because he knew, Fu Yiming simply felt that now the Jiang Family had fallen from grace, and Jiang Weiwei was no longer worthy of him.

In such a situation, even if the Jiang Family insisted on this marriage, the one to suffer would still be Jiang Weiwei.

But Yu Man was very dissatisfied and was still grumbling until now!

"You should not have so easily agreed to that bastard Fu Yiming just now, it’s too favorable for him."

After all, Fu Yiming would occasionally take Jiang Weiwei out at night, playing until the early hours of the morning before sending her back.

Sometimes Yu Man would bump into them, seeing love bites all over Jiang Weiwei’s neck.

What that implied, Yu Man was naturally aware.

"Weiwei has been with him for over a year; he has taken all the advantages, to think he can just turn his back on her, he’s got some nerve."

However, while saying this, Yu Man did not recall that previously, when they wanted to use Jiang Weiwei to hook up with Feng Yu and thereby climb up to Emperor City Feng Family, they also did not consider the feelings of her fiancé, Fu Yiming.

"Even if all the advantages have been taken, do you think with the current situation of our Jiang Family, we have the capability to get revenge on Fu Yiming, to confront him?"

Although Jiang Guosheng also wanted to maximize benefits, currently Fu Yiming was cold and tough, and the Jiang Family was powerless to fight back, what could he do other than accept defeat?

Yu Man also knew the current situation of the Jiang Family; contending against the Fu Family was like throwing eggs against rocks, hence she quieted down.

At this moment, Jiang Guosheng suddenly asked Yu Man: "Should we tell Moxi about our family moving to Emperor City?"

"Why tell her?"

Yu Man’s disdain and coldness when mentioning Jiang Moxi were in stark contrast to her previous concern for Jiang Weiwei’s affairs.

"Regardless, Moxi is our biological daughter. Our whole family is moving, yet to not give her even a bit of news, is that appropriate?"

Jiang Guosheng was considering that Jiang Moxi was their biological daughter, and also considering the relationship between Jiang Moxi, Fu Youhan, and Suchen.

If Jiang Moxi could return to the Jiang Family, it could also be an opportunity for the Jiang Family to stand up again.

But Yu Man rebuked sharply: "You are always thinking about her as our biological daughter, but she hasn’t given a thought about us as her biological parents. I don’t want to get a cold reception again while trying to warm things up."

Yu Man said this and then crawled into bed, no longer paying attention to Jiang Guosheng.

Seeing this, Jiang Guosheng also said nothing more.

On the other hand, Old Master Fu also learned about the Jiang Family being beaten by Emperor Bow Automobile Group with a series of crushing blows, so much so that they could not even fight back, and could only dejectedly relocate their whole family.

Old Master Fu firmly threw a stack of investigative reports regarding Emperor Bow Group on the table, and coldly said: "There’s no need to investigate further, the manipulator behind Emperor Bow Group is him."

The Jiang Family had just ridiculed Jiang Moxi, and then they were hammered down by him without the strength to get back up.

That iron-fisted approach was indeed very much like that person.

But at the same time, he was also, like that person, a sentimental fool, clearly hanging himself over Jiang Moxi.

However, this made things much simpler.

"Find a few unfamiliar faces, go to Emperor City to see if there’s any trace of Jiang Moxi, if there is, kidnap her."

Old Master Fu gave the order, and the butler promptly set out to handle it.

Old Master Fu slightly squinted his eyes, looking at the nighttime sky of Yan City from the window, and coldly said: "It’s also time, to take back everything you and your son owe me."

The next day, the Jiang Family members collectively took a plane and arrived at Emperor City.

Before they left for Emperor City, Jiang Tairan had already purchased a mansion here and had it cleaned; they could move in with just their bags.

The location of this mansion was decent, but it was not as spacious or grand as the house they used to live in.

With three families soon to be squeezed together here, Yu Man and the others finished touring the estate with rather grim faces.

"The rooms are all on the smaller side, and they’re also unusually close to each other."

"Yes, there are even large cracks in the door panels. We’re not just talking about lack of sound insulation, but it’s barely windproof."

"Dad, isn’t there a better house available?"

After they finished looking at the house, they all had serious reservations.

But Jiang Tairan’s dark pupils narrowed slightly, revealing a terrifying sharpness.

"If you really don’t want to live here, then find your own place to move out! Otherwise, everyone can chip in a bit more money and we can switch to a larger house!"

During the time when they were pooling money to get through the crisis, all three families were hiding something.

Even now, moving to Emperor City and buying this manor to live in, was only possible because Jiang Tairan had sold all the antiques he had collected.

Now, hearing them nitpick, Jiang Tairan was anything but comfortable with it!

After a severe rebuke from Jiang Tairan, none of them dared to make a peep.

In fact, they all knew that moving the whole family to Emperor City was quite risky.

If they couldn’t make it here, they would eventually have to slink back to Yan City.

That’s why before the three families came here, they each had their own calculations to keep expenses as low as possible and safeguard their funds.

That way, if they had to return to Yan City when all else fails, they could still set up their own households.

Seeing that none of them spoke up any more, Jiang Tairan grew even more furious.

"You idiots only think of yourselves. If any of you were in charge of the household, it’d fall apart eventually!"

No one dared to retort, all hanging their heads low.

Jiang Tairan couldn’t bother to look at these pathetic folks any longer and went straight to lie down in his room.

Perhaps it was truly due to his age or the decline of the Jiang Family, but today Jiang Tairan genuinely felt overwhelmed.

As soon as Jiang Tairan returned to his room, the other three families also started to take action.

Zhao Guangmei and Jiang Yuqing began to tidy up their room as they needed to rush to a notice later.

Xiao Qingyun was busy urging Jiang Sibei to practice the piano, hoping she could perform even better in the semifinals.

Yu Man looked at the crowded room and felt extremely distressed.

After much thought, Yu Man simply called Jiang Weiwei, "Weiwei, let’s go for a SPA first. We need to be in a good state to compete better."

Jiang Weiwei looked at her own suffocatingly small room and didn’t want to stay there at all, so she followed Yu Man to the nearby beauty salon.

After all, they were people who had lived in luxury for so many years, and even if they were down and out, Yu Man wouldn’t skimp on skincare for herself and Jiang Weiwei.

She picked a high-end beauty salon.

As they got out of the car, they saw a limited-edition Maserati parked in front of the beauty salon.

The woman who came out of the car looked to be in her early forties, not bad-looking, and with fine temperament.

But what made Jiang Weiwei and Yu Man most envious was the bag the woman was carrying.

Yu Man couldn’t help but mutter at the sight of the bag: "That tote bag is Yunshang’s latest model this year, worth over two million."

Yu Man had set her sights on this bag a long time ago, but this wasn’t a bag you could simply buy with money; you also needed connections.

Jiang Weiwei pondered for a moment and then made a promise to Yu Man.

"Mom, when I make something of myself someday, I’ll buy you any handbag you want."

Yu Man was amused and chuckled, feeling as though the gloominess of their downcast move to Emperor City had also faded.

"I knew my child would be thoughtful. All right, let’s go in."

"Okay."

Jiang Weiwei linked arms with Yu Man, took another look at the elegant woman, and had no idea that they would have any involvement with this woman in the future...
