Chapter 603: Chapter 603: Met Uncle Beggar

"Our family’s ships have flipped, but it should be just two of them."

Jiang Zhao Yuan said with a cheerful tone.

People are always in high spirits when good things happen; his originally sluggish spirits were instantly invigorated.

He had originally not believed a single word from that girl Jiang Li.

But what businessmen fear the most is their words turning into reality.

To avoid any mishaps, he rerouted most of the ships, leaving only two on the original course, and those two were loaded with ordinary goods; even if something happened, it wouldn’t be a disaster.

The Shang Family came to compete, but he didn’t fight for it and directly gave up half of the supply.

Unexpectedly, an actual accident happened.

Now it was good, not only had the Shang Family that had always targeted them fallen into trouble, but now they have lost all their goods as well, and those companies could only come to them for help. By then, their products would surely be in great demand.

"Dad, you don’t know," Jiang Mingchuan said with trembling hands. "Our stock market has been rising since yesterday, now it’s already more than five times higher than before. Companies from X country are almost blowing up our phones, asking specifically for our shipping to deliver their goods. We also had a bunch of the Shang Family’s lost cargo left in our warehouse, and now the prices have doubled... Our family’s fortunes have completely turned around this time!"

Shen Lan and Lin Manru were both stunned.

"Is that so?"

"Yes." Jiang Mingchuan downed the water in his cup, "I also didn’t expect us to be so lucky this time, and I came back immediately to inform you."

Shen Lan slapped Jiang Mingchuan on the head, irritated, "Could you not make things clear in one go next time? You gave my sister-in-law and me such a fright for nothing."

"Indeed," Lin Manru said, patting her chest. "We thought our family was going bankrupt."

Jiang Zhao Yuan snorted coldly, "The ones who should go bankrupt are the Shang Family."

Over the years, the Shang Family had not stopped setting traps for them.

Originally, they did not have a shipping company, but in order to get a slice of the pie, they created one from scratch, squeezing them everywhere.

Well now.

They had shot themselves in the foot.

"The bankruptcy of the Shang Family..." Jiang Shi Xu muttered under his breath.

He had seen some rumors online that his big sister used to really like the young master of the Shang Family, Shang Shaojing.

But his big sister also liked money quite a bit.

If the Shang Family went bankrupt, then his big sister definitely wouldn’t like Shang Shaojing anymore.

How wonderful.

He was feeling lucky when Jiang Mingchuan’s gaze swept over him and, upon seeing him clearly, his eyes widened.

"Isn’t this Xiao Shixu? I haven’t seen you for a while, have you changed so much?"

He couldn’t remember the last time he had seen this kid.

He remembered that back then, he was skin and bones, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

Hair long and covering his face, he looked gloomy, lifeless, too timid to meet anyone’s gaze, let alone talk to them.

But now, he looked just like any other lively high school student, just a bit more shy.

"Yes, the kid really has changed a lot, matured. It’s all thanks to Jiang Li."

Again, the name of his notoriously useless grandniece came from the mouths of his family, and Jiang Mingchuan was taken aback.

But it was his fault for being immersed in the company day in and day out for the past half year, completely neglecting his family. Now that the company had such good luck, he could breathe a sigh of relief. He was curious how that previously notorious Demon Lord of Mayhem had transformed.

Jiang Shi Xu shyly lowered his head, then remembering something, gave Jiang Mingchuan an apologetic look.

"Third Uncle, I also bought you a gift..."

Jiang Mingchuan set his cup down in surprise, "Yo, Xiao Shixu even bought gifts for everyone?"

"Yes, but, but..." He fidgeted with his clothes, embarrassed. "But when I was coming back, I saw a beggar uncle at the entrance of the neighborhood without shoes, so I gave mine to him. But don’t worry, Third Uncle, I’ll definitely make up the gift to you later."

Jiang Mingchuan laughed heartily, then stepped forward and patted Jiang Shi Xu on the back, "Our Shi Xu is quite compassionate. Don’t worry, it’s the thought that counts, not the gift itself. Third Uncle is very happy. Since today is an extra joyful day, if there’s anything you want, just say the word and Third Uncle will buy it for you!"

Watching this joyful scene, Jiang Zhao Yuan felt much more content, turning to Jiang Ye, "Go tell Aunt to buy more groceries, we’ll have a big meal at noon to reward everyone."

"Ey, sure thing."

...

In the neighboring compound.

An Jing finally couldn’t help speaking as she watched Jiang Mingyu admiringly holding the shoes on the couch for half an hour, "Uncle, you’ve been holding those shoes for half an hour now, aren’t you going to throw them away? You can’t wear them anymore, after all."

"No, no, that wouldn’t do," Jiang Mingyu said, staring at the pair of shoes. "They, they have great significance for me."

Without him saying, An Jing guessed from his behavior over the past few days that his first love must live nearby, which is why he ambled around so often, taking the chance to observe.

Those shoes were probably stolen by him too.

Thinking this, An Jing felt a shiver, but she quickly changed her expression and tactfully shifted the topic, "Uncle, didn’t you say that your family also lives in the Capital? How come you haven’t contacted them for so long?"

Jiang Mingyu paused, his mood dimming, "I had a falling out with my family back then, and that’s why I left for abroad."

"Haven’t you thought of contacting them while you were abroad?"

"Of course I have!"

Despite his grandfather’s cold face back then, declaring he didn’t have such a grandson, and being driven away dishearteningly,

He began to miss home after just his first month abroad.

But it was only after Meng Chuan was caught, who went abroad with him and planned to harm him, that he realized that Meng Chuan had interfered with his attempts to contact his family over the two years.

The numbers saved in his phone were secretly changed by Meng Chuan, his SIM card had been swapped, and all letters he sent were torn up by him.

He was frustrated for a long time that his family never wrote back and even went through a long period of despair.

His few days in Ethiopia were the lowest point in his life.

Before bungee jumping, he had thought of ending it all.

But the video call with Jiang Li had saved everything, including himself.

But he could no longer undo the harsh words Meng Chuan had sent to his family.

He didn’t know how to face them after having lost contact for so long.

In their eyes, he was definitely a terrible son, husband, and father.

He was afraid to see the disappointment in their eyes again.

It was just fine to watch them from afar.

Like today, he knew Shen Lan was coming home and originally wanted just to have a distant look at her recent state, but unexpectedly, he ran into Jiang Shi Xu as he turned around.

In a flustered panic, he tried to flee, his shoes flying off and himself tumbling awkwardly into the bushes.
