Chapter 241: Chapter 237 Jiang Family

"I don’t know why my parents left home, and Grandpa never talked to me about it. When I was young, I asked him a few times, but Grandpa was reluctant to talk about it, and every time my parents were mentioned, he lost control of his emotions. Since then, I haven’t mentioned it in front of him anymore. However, I’ve heard quite a bit about my mother from Nanny Wang and my aunt."

"My mom was named Jiang Qing’e, and she was a daughter of the Jiang Family in Yangcheng. She had four siblings, two older brothers, and a younger sister, who you just met, Mrs. Jiang Ying. Back then, my dad met my mom while traveling, and Auntie was with her on the trip. After becoming companions, my parents developed feelings for each other during the journey and exchanged contact information, frequently meeting up and traveling to different places. Their relationship deepened over time. However, when my dad thought the timing was right and proposed, the Jiang Family refused him. I could never understand why; even though the Nanrong Family was already wealthy and the Jiang Family also had influence in Yangcheng, our families were well matched, yet they refused the marriage."

"Even though the Jiang Family was against it, my parents were deeply in love and committed to each other for life. Ignoring their family’s objections, my mom ended up marrying my dad. At that time, only my aunt attended their wedding. Because of this, she and my mom were considered traitors by the Jiang Family, disobeying the family’s order, so they were expelled. Since then, my aunt has stayed in East Sea City, working at Hongyu Group. My parents had several happy years together, deeply in love as a couple. However, a major incident occurred not long after Nanrong Hao was born, which led to my parents leaving the Nanrong Family and never returning."

"Regarding the incident that happened at the Nanrong Family, all those who knew kept silent, and I couldn’t find out more. Later, I asked my aunt, hoping to learn the truth from her, but she told me not to ask too much. She said knowing some things might bring more pain, and they didn’t tell me to protect me, to prevent me from being affected by the resentments of the previous generation."

"Yangcheng Jiang Family?" Ling Chen murmured to himself.

Nanrong Wanqing nodded slightly, "I’ve investigated the Jiang Family in Yangcheng; it’s a prominent family with a hundred years of history and significant influence. I tried to contact the head of the Jiang Family, who is my maternal grandfather, but the several letters I sent were all ignored, receiving no response. I guess the Jiang Family did not want to deal with me, so I gave up. Ling Chen, I’m telling you all this just to let you know that my aunt has it tough; she sacrificed a lot for my parents. At the time, she tried her best to persuade the Jiang Family to approve my parents’ marriage. For that, she clashed with her family members, ending up without a home to return to."

"Why doesn’t she live at your place if she’s your aunt?"

"There are three villas in the backyard of the Nanrong Family, besides the ones where Nanrong Hao and I each live, the other one was where my parents used to live. Auntie used to live with them. However, since my parents left, Auntie’s character has also become eccentric, refusing to stay in the Nanrong Family anymore; she says it makes her sad, so she insists on living alone."

"I see," Ling Chen finally understood the situation. Yet, the issue that occurred at the Nanrong Family was undoubtedly an intriguing problem.

Scratching his head, he presented the dilemma again to Nanrong Wanqing with a helpless smile, "What should I do now? I’ve managed to offend Auntie terribly already. With her rigid personality, it’s probably too late to apologize."

Nanrong Wanqing helplessly said, "Auntie is still on a rampage right now, even if you go to apologize, she would directly kick you out. You...sigh, I don’t even know how to handle you. Refrain from going to the HR department for now, head back to the security area instead. Also, try not to let my aunt see you in the company these days, she might just fire you."

"I’ll be careful to avoid her."

Leaving the office, Ling Chen sighed heavily, his face full of worry, regretting his impulsive mistake of offending Nanrong Wanqing’s aunt. What bad luck.

Checking the time, there was still an hour left until the end of the workday. Since he was heading back to the security department, he figured he might as well tackle something useful.

He went to the underground parking lot, where his classic muscle car was parked in a corner, spotless. It seemed that in his absence, Nanrong Wanqing had not forgotten to take care of his beloved car. His lips curled slightly, appreciating her considerate nature.

Driving out of Hongyu Group, Ling Chen headed onto the road. After a thirty-minute drive, he parked outside Qingyun Martial Arts Hall.

Reaching the door, he knocked, and the door opened in response. Seeing that it was He Ziyun who opened the door, Ling Chen greeted with a smile, "Mr. He."

"Come on in."

"Where’s Little Hua?" Ling Chen walked through the spacious courtyard, not seeing Little Hua, the sticky little girl, and asked.

"She’s gone out with Xiaozhu."

Ling Chen was surprised, "Xiaozhu is back?"

"Yes, she arrived last night."

Ling Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he had come at the right time. Since parting from Zhu Xiaozhu that night, there had been an unspoken yet profound gap between them. Without addressing Zhu Hong’s issue, he didn’t know how to face her. Meeting under such circumstances would probably make both of them feel awkward.

"Did you come to see me about that cultivation technique today?"

Hearing He Ziyun speak, Ling Chen nodded, "Mr. He, how’s your research going?"

He Ziyun smiled slightly, "I have to admit, you’re enviable for your luck, stumbling upon such a treasure. Although the text of the Internal Cultivation Methods is obscure and difficult, it’s undeniable that it’s an absolute skill passed down from ancient times. I’ve been consulting various major sects’ archives, and fortunately, persistance pays off; I’ve translated the Internal Cultivation Methods. Wait here, I’ll go get it for you." Saying that, he stood up and walked towards his bedroom.

Ling Chen felt a small thrill of excitement inside. He was well aware of He Ziyun’s strength, a renowned figure on the Earthly List, and receiving such high praise from him meant the Internal Cultivation Methods were extraordinary. His external training had reached its pinnacle, but his internal strength was just beginning. A good set of Internal Cultivation Methods could save him much trouble and detours.

While pondering, He Ziyun returned to the hall, handing over a sheet of handwritten paper filled with characters.

Ling Chen couldn’t wait to receive it, and before he had a chance to look at other content, his gaze was already drawn to the few large characters at the top.
