Chapter 547: Chapter 547: What a bustling family you all are

Because of the unsightly scandal caused by watching the live broadcast at the company last time,

Old Sir Jiang decided to rectify the Jiang Family’s public image today. fгeewebnovёl.com

He had been watching the live broadcast for several days, and during these days, Jiang Li and Jiang Yan’s performance had been pretty good. They made quite a comfortable life for themselves on the deserted island, even tamed a wild boar. Their online reputation had improved significantly, making the relatives much more cordial these past two days, continually hanging around him, just looking for an opportunity to snag a share of Jiang Li and Jiang Yan’s resources.

Jiang Zhao Yuan had previously thought Jiang Yan’s foray into the entertainment industry was unreliable, but now it seemed that the kid wasn’t half bad, having corrected many of his poor habits.

So, taking advantage of the afternoon tea time, he subtly brought it up a few times.

As expected, his old friends started to lay on the compliments.

"Brother Jiang, your granddaughter is truly remarkable. She’s been trending online recently."

"Yeah, I even watched their live broadcast with my grandson. Your two kids are much more sensible now, can do anything, no wonder you’ve been beaming lately, looks like you’ve got less to worry about."

"Wasn’t there talk before about Jiang Yan being a good-for-nothing, hanging out with those no-good friends? I think his performance on TV is quite good, getting up early and working till late, and even listening to his sister’s words. How do you teach your grandkids? Let us in on your secret."

"...."

A barrage of sugar-coated bullets thoroughly flattered Jiang Zhao Yuan.

But he still kept a stern face and pretended to be troubled, "They, they’re only so capable. Not one of them could finish their studies, nor could they manage the company."

"Not bad, not bad, unlike my boy who only knows how to mess around outside."

"Hey, we’ve got time today, and they’re still on air, aren’t they? Why don’t we watch the broadcast together while having tea? Just for entertainment."

This was exactly what Jiang Zhao Yuan wanted, so after pretending to hesitate, he led the group upstairs.

In the study, the servant brewed hot tea and lit the incense, utterly cozy.

Jiang Zhao Yuan had even deliberately had someone set up a projection screen in advance. As the elderly men sat down, the live broadcast immediately appeared on the screen.

——Just as Jiang Li was beating a python with her bare hands.

The elder men were all shocked at first, but once they recovered, they praised her for her courage and skill.

Out loud, Jiang Zhao Yuan said, "That girl is too rash," but inside, he was overjoyed.

Mr. Li’s granddaughter had gotten pregnant before marriage while overseas.

Liu’s granddaughter had failed college entrance exams for three years, not even getting into a community college.

Mr. Qian’s granddaughter was hardly ever home, and he had heard that she had even been taken into custody recently.

Now it seemed that Jiang Li was indeed the least worrisome.

So he turned the volume up several notches.

But then, things seemed to develop in an unpredictable and uncontrollable direction.

Jiang Li said her ideal type was a dark-skinned guy.

And at the moment Jiang Li said the words "hold me," the entire study fell silent.

Mr. Li cleared his throat, hastily picked up his cup of tea for a sip, then looked at Jiang Zhao Yuan with a somewhat gleeful expression.

"Your granddaughter... she really is bold. Bold to a point that is... cough cough."

Old Sir Jiang’s face darkened.

Just as he thought Jiang Li was just being impulsive, the next second she pouted her lips and ran to the dark-skinned guy.

"Kiss me."

Old Sir Jiang’s face couldn’t hold up anymore, and he slammed his hand on the table.

"This is outrageous, this girl is too much!"

Mr. Qian hurriedly comforted him, "Old Jiang, don’t be angry. It’s normal for young people to talk about love, and after all, your granddaughter did get into college, so dating is not a big deal."

Mr. Li pursed his lips, "Yeah, even though it’s just a community college, she’s still got an education."

Another person chimed in, "But acting like this in front of the camera is indeed inappropriate, Brother Jiang, you still need to discipline her properly."

Jiang Zhao Yuan’s face couldn’t hold up any longer. He wanted to turn off the TV, but he couldn’t operate this high-tech screen and it wasn’t appropriate to call a servant over, so he changed the subject, "You all know about these two in my family. They’ve caused trouble for over a decade and never gave me a moment’s peace... but there are those who are trouble-free. Jiang Cheng is much more sensible than the two of them."

"I heard your grandson Jiang Li scored second in the entire district on the last mock exam, quite impressive indeed. He has a bright future ahead."

Suddenly, Jiang Zhao Yuan’s face lit up, until a familiar wail came through the screen—

"....I’m your own brother, I’m Jiang Cheng!"

Old Sir Jiang was dumbfounded.

Seeing his most prideful grandson turn from a lump of coal into that person, he was even more stunned.

Mr. Li recognized him immediately, his excitement palpable, "Hey, Old Jiang, isn’t that your grandson, Jiang Cheng? Wasn’t he studying at school? How did he end up on this show? Your family is quite the spectacle."

Old Sir Jiang’s face turned utterly dark, and in a rage, he slammed his teacup to the ground.

This was too much.

Those little brats had crossed the line!

He promptly called for Jiang Ye and got Jiang Cheng’s homeroom teacher’s phone number. Learning that Jiang Cheng was indeed not at school, he trembled with anger.

"This little scoundrel has learned how to deceive, watch me not beat him to death!"

People hurriedly tried to stop him, and just by coincidence, the scream like that of a pig being slaughtered came from Jiang Cheng on the screen.

The elders were dumbfounded again.

That granddaugher of the Jiang family... she sure can discipline someone.

She didn’t hold back even with her own brother.

Mr. Li, frightened by Jiang Li, stared blankly and subconsciously looked at Jiang Zhao Yuan.

"Your granddaughter is beating your grandson up like that, and you’re not going to do anything?"

Old Sir Jiang was notoriously biased toward males over females, seeing his treasured grandson being beaten so by his tomboy granddaughter, wouldn’t he be enraged?

But then, Jiang Zhao Yuan slammed his hand on the table.

"Interfere?" he said, anger rising, "Good beating!"

His only pride and joy, his grandson, had been publicly embarrassed to such an extent that even if Jiang Li hadn’t dealt with him, he wouldn’t have let him off lightly either!

...

Dragon Ridge Island.

Jiang Cheng’s affinity for Su Yinwan was completely demolished by Jiang Li.

Because in that moment, he feared all women in the world.

It was only after the stick in her hand had snapped in two that Jiang Li finally let him go.

Jiang Cheng’s voice was hoarse from screaming.

"Sister, I really know I was wrong, I truly am sorry..."

Jiang Li exhaled deeply, threw away the stick, and turned to face Shang Shaojing.

"Give you five hundred points, Jiang Cheng is mine."

Shang Shaojing, still shocked by Jiang Li’s ruthlessness, didn’t respond until Jiang Li repeated her offer.

"Why?" asked Shang Shaojing.

"Jiang Cheng is my brother; I don’t feel comfortable with him staying with others."

To be precise, she was uncomfortable with him staying with them.

She knew how strong the protagonist’s halo that Shang Shaojing and Su Yinwan had was. Jiang Cheng was finally showing signs of improvement; he must not continue to stay with them and follow the original plot.

Shang Shaojing thought for three seconds.

"Six hundred points, the deal is yours."

"Deal," she said.

Jiang Cheng: ?

Wait.

What was he, merchandise to be sold just like that?
