Chapter 747: Chapter 737: Agree to Return to the Imperial City

Jiang Wenjia’s mind was buzzing for a moment.

This was the first time someone had cursed her face-to-face without any scruples.

And still in front of...

Her gaze fell onto Jiang Runcheng and Jiang Lingxu standing behind, their somewhat similar faces showing unanimous disgust and resentment.

Looking further back at her younger uncle, his face seemed the calmest, but when her eyes met his behind the glasses, she couldn’t help but shiver. There was no unnecessary emotion in those eyes, only coldness, so cold that it made her mouth and even her whole body feel frozen. She couldn’t even muster a single word of rebuttal, not to mention retaliate for that slap she just received.

Completely isolated!

When Jiang Wenhui insisted on marrying the then poor boy Jiang Runcheng, at least her younger uncle was willing to support her.

But now, not a single person among those present was on her side.

Jiang Wenjia covered her face and fled in disarray.

The somewhat old residential building had no elevator, and while she was descending the stairs, her steps were so hurried and chaotic in high heels that she twisted her ankle. Normally, she would’ve simply stopped, called someone to pick her up, but this time she gritted her teeth and ran out of the building unit in one breath despite the pain.

Only when she stood outside the building and looked back to see Jiang Wenhui hadn’t chased her did she finally breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

Jiang Wenhui had actually brought along her husband and son, and even saw her younger uncle earlier than her. This meant her intent was already known to him, and he would only be more cautious in protecting that fool, leaving her no more opportunities to approach.

Thinking of this, one sentence kept swirling in her mind: It’s over, the last path is blocked too!

Jiang Wenjia limped out of the teacher’s housing complex, full of regret and frustration.

In contrast, Jiang Wenhui, who had just erupted in an outburst, felt thoroughly refreshed.

Closing the door and turning around, she was met with the admiring gazes of her husband and son.

"Mom, calm down, that slap you gave just now was really loud, it scared me a bit, but it was so satisfying! Does your hand hurt?"

Jiang Runcheng was a step late and could only watch as his son managed to please her first.

"Not at all," Jiang Wenhui exhaled a breath of frustration, "it just felt so satisfying. I finally let out the anger that had been pent up for almost two days. It’s just a pity she ran so fast; I wanted to give her another slap for symmetry."

Saying this, she met her younger uncle’s smiling gaze, "Younger Uncle..."

Jiang Cisheng nodded at her, "Well done!"

Xu Yin chimed in supportively, nodding along, "Well done!" then after a pause, added another word, "Excellent!"

Jiang Cisheng couldn’t help but laugh, and soon everyone else was laughing heartily as well.

They had not only gained the upper hand this time but also successfully drove away the ill-intentioned Jiang Wenjia, and even taught her a lesson—it was victory after victory!

Gathering back around the coffee table, the atmosphere was livelier and more relaxed than before.

"Younger Uncle, about the suggestion to return to Imperial City with Younger Aunt..."

"I really hadn’t thought about returning to Imperial City in this lifetime, planned to stay in Mao City, retire after a few more years, then take your younger aunt around traveling with the pension," Jiang Cisheng finished talking about his vision for the future and met his niece’s face full of hesitation, "but I might end up leaving earlier than your younger aunt."

It’s not just because of being several years older, but also the old injuries and frequent early exposure to chemical reagents, all of which would be burdens down the road.

He’s already started looking for a satisfactory nursing home, with safety standards as the highest requirement. If there comes a day he can no longer hold on, he must make sure his wife is settled first before he can close his eyes in peace.

But he didn’t expect his eldest niece, whom he hadn’t seen in over twenty years, to arrive before finding a satisfactory nursing home.

And with Jiang Wenjia being such a hidden danger, he might need to change his original plans.

"Younger Uncle..."

"Stop talking about burdens. No one in this world can foresee everything. If someone tries to cause trouble, find a solution to deal with it. Just in time, this is a reason to return to Imperial City."

The surprise came so quickly; Jiang Wenhui froze for two seconds before reacting and raised her voice in excitement, "Younger Uncle, you’ve decided to return to Imperial City? That’s great! When do you plan to go? We can help pack your things."

"First, I need to complete the resignation and handover to other teachers with available time, which will take a bit of time. You should head back first. I also need to ask Runcheng for one more favor."

Jiang Runcheng had just been listening on the side. Suddenly hearing there was a task for him, he immediately perked up, "Younger Uncle, tell me."

"Only ten days to be a thief, can’t guard against thieves for a thousand days. As long as Yue Sheng remains in Jiang Peng’s hands, Jiang Peng and Jiang Wenjia won’t stop their relentless tricks on Xixi. The best solution is to make Yue Sheng disappear as soon as possible."

Both husband and wife were startled, Jiang Wenhui didn’t expect her younger uncle to be so decisive, "But Yue Sheng also holds your efforts from back then."

If it had just been left to Jiang Peng, who wasn’t very capable, and watched it fail over time, that would be one thing, but to destroy it personally had never crossed her mind as an option.

After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse; it’s not something that can be easily destroyed.

"Let me finish. We won’t really destroy it, just make it disappear from Jiang Peng’s hands. I plan to re-register a company, I’ll think of a name, let’s call it ’Yin’, as in lush greenery. The main product will be cosmeceuticals, so we’ll also need a well-equipped workshop, but I don’t have much money now, so renting a space with valid cosmeceutical production credentials is the way to go. Once that’s set, the rest becomes much easier." Jiang Cisheng spoke, lightly smiling, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

He was initially reluctant to bother, but the pesky flies started buzzing around again, posing a risk of sucking blood unexpectedly.

To prevent them from getting a chance, the flies had to be swatted down first.

Jiang Runcheng nodded continuously, "I can handle all this."

Jiang Wenhui also heaved a sigh of relief, "You plan to produce cosmeceuticals, from the formula Jiang Peng wanted to sell?"

"That’s right, this formula was saved by your younger aunt. I’ll name it after her."

Jiang Wenhui swallowed an emotional moment, "That’s only fitting, Younger Aunt deserves the most credit."

"Then Runcheng and I will head back first. Since workplaces are now open, we’ll get the necessary paperwork done first."

Jiang Wenhui spoke, already considering whether to simply resign. This job was initially taken to earn some extra money to make ends meet, later due to good performance and promotions and raises, she stayed on.

Now, with Younger Uncle opening a company, also in cosmetics, it looks like they’ll confront Jiang Peng, she felt excited at the thought.

Looking at her son again, "Lingxu will stay behind. Younger Uncle, feel free to assign him tasks and help pack up. He can assist on the way to Imperial City as well."

Being assigned a task directly by his mom, Jiang Lingxu: "...I’m okay with it!"

"Alright then," Jiang Cisheng didn’t refuse seeing it this way, smiled and nodded, "The resignation handover is indeed a bit troublesome, but having Lingxu here eases my mind. I’ll rely on him these few days."

"That’s a given, it’s a given."

By noon, Jiang Lingxi received a call from Jiang Wenhui.

Her tone, completely different from last night’s anger and frustration.

"Xixi, your younger uncle has agreed to return to Imperial City with your younger aunt!"
