Chapter 1185: 816 First Update

"Let’s find a place to eat, Zhenfu Garden we tried last time was quite good, and it should not be far from here, right?"

Inside the driving limousine, there was silence.

Jiang Chen spoke up, breaking the quiet.

Indeed.

He did take a sip of water after all, but the others hadn’t even moved their hands.

"Why isn’t anyone talking?"

Seeing that no one responded to him, Jiang Chen laughed oddly.

"Actually, I could act."

Thankfully, Pei Yunxi spoke up, saving him from too much embarrassment.

"The Xiang Family cares about face. They just refused, now if they agree, will they accept it?"

Jiang Chen laughed softly and shook his head.

"What if they really do what they said and ban us, what then?"

Yang Ni’s concern wasn’t really about the market in Gangcheng.

After all, times have changed, and the film market in Gangcheng is now dispensable for inland entertainers. The vast and resource-rich inland can easily support its entire entertainment industry.

What she worried about was that her relationship with her children might get affected by the butterfly effect because of this.

"Don’t you know what’s meant by talking for effect?"

Jiang Chen chuckled, "All full of hot air."

Yang Ni was dumbfounded, and then couldn’t help remembering the guy who had boasted about "fighting fire with fire." "And you?"

Without any shame, Jiang Chen fluently replied, "Of course, I’m also full of hot air."

"..."

Yang Ni was utterly speechless.

Having gone through the trials and tribulations in the entertainment industry, she had met many men, but she truly had never encountered this type.

"Young Master Jiang."

Bai Haoran spoke up as a reminder.

Jiang Chen turned his head to look at him, then consciously looked back.

There were a bunch of black sedans aggressively catching up at high speed.

Yang Ni and Pei Yunxi noticed as well.

"The Xiang Family is coming for us!"

Yang Ni’s face involuntarily changed color a bit.

Bai Haoran had already taken out his mobile phone.

Jiang Chen seemed unconcerned, and even instructed the driver, "Stop the car."

Yang Ni was stunned.

At a time like this, instead of running away quickly, he wanted to stop?

The driver indeed pulled the car over to the side.

The chasing convoy was getting closer and closer.

But then...

Watching the formidable convoy whirl past them, Yang Ni was left with a bewildered look in her eyes.

One car.

Two cars.

Three cars.

...

Until all the cars had sped past, quickly driving away into the distance.

"It seems they’re not looking for us."

Jiang Chen said softly.

No kidding.

When they passed by just now, they didn’t even slow down a bit.

But everyone knew it was undoubtedly the Xiang Family’s convoy.

Bai Haoran deleted the half-written message and put away his phone, looking towards the convoy disappearing in the distance with a somewhat puzzled expression.

"What happened?"

It wasn’t targeted at them, that was certain.

But the urgent manner clearly indicated some emergency had arisen.

The Xiang Family’s formidable convoy had completely disappeared from view.

"Who knows."

As if nothing had happened, Jiang Chen nonchalantly said, "Drive, let’s go eat."

"..."

Zhenfu Garden.

"Order whatever you like, I’m paying," said Boss Jiang, unusually generous, seemingly finally feeling a bit embarrassed for having Yang Ni do so much work these past few days.

Yang Ni didn’t stand on ceremony with him, looking at the menu, not choosing what was right, only choosing what was expensive.

Seeing her look like a sheep ready for slaughter, Boss Jiang lightly coughed, "Of course, we mustn’t be wasteful."

"It’s okay, we can take leftovers to go."

With a chuckle, Jiang Chen did not act petty any longer, letting Yang Ni order as she pleased, and then turned to Bai Haoran, "Let’s go back to Haojiang, after I thank Miss He."

Sometimes.

One doesn’t need to come personally.

Bai Haoran nodded, "How much longer will Young Master Jiang stay in Gangcheng?"

"Everything is settled, what’s left to do here? We’re also heading back."

Such a free-spirited tone.

Does this mean he’s just letting go of the dispute with the Xiang Family?

But that’s true.

In this world, who can be liked by everyone?

Jiang Chen’s face was relaxed, completely unaware that he was speaking too soon.

The prestigious families of Gangcheng.

The Guo Family.

Guo Xitang returned home.

"Brother."

The young Guo master, who had met Jiang Chen in Haojiang, called out and then asked with concern, "How did the discussion go?"

Although the Guo family was populous, the house was often quiet for the most part.

After all, the glory of the family requires the struggle and maintenance of each individual.

"We didn’t reach an agreement."

Mentioning the outcome, there seemed to be an absence of surprise on Guo Xitang’s face.

"It was the Xiang Family who were at fault first, resorting to threats with sulfuric acid. If I were in that position, I definitely wouldn’t have agreed either. Brother, I told you there was no need to go."

Although they hadn’t had much interaction, Guo Anle at least understood some aspects of that man’s personality through their connections in Haojiang.

"Xiang Yonghua personally requested it, I had to give him that much face," Guo Xitang replied.

Guo Anle was silent.

That’s true.

Sometimes even when you know the outcome, you still need to go through the motions of doing something futile.

"...This time, the Xiang Family will probably just have to hold their noses and accept it."

Guo Anle said quietly, without prying into the details of the negotiations with undue curiosity.

Guo Xitang didn’t express agreement or disagreement, and looked at his youngest brother, "I have something to ask you."

"Brother, go ahead."

"Are you still in touch with Miss He?"

Taken aback, Guo Anle asked, "Bro, why do you ask this?"

Guo Xitang offered no explanation, "Don’t want to say, or is it inconvenient?"

Guo Anle smiled bitterly, taking a deep breath before responding, "What’s inconvenient about it. It’s the same as before, friends."

Guo Xitang patted his shoulder and both brothers walked over to sit down on the sofa.

"Even though our family has always wanted you and Miss He to be together, feelings can’t be forced. At the end of the day, it’s just like the saying goes, a melon forced off its vine is not sweet. If there really isn’t that fate, it may be more suitable to just be friends."

"Brother, I understand."

Not every family can bear the title of ’prestigious’.

Children raised in such circumstances naturally have a different perspective from ordinary people.

Guo Anle, devoid of the despondence or resentment of unrequited love, calmly nodded, "If I really couldn’t get over it, I wouldn’t have so easily decided to come back from Haojiang last time."

Guo Xitang touched on the matter but didn’t impose too much, not overstepping despite his role as the elder brother, "If you and Miss He are still normal friends, do me a favor."

Guo Anle, surprised, blurted out, "Brother, you need my help with something?"

"It’s not me."

Guo Anle rarely saw a trace of helplessness on his second brother’s face.

"It’s the Xiang Family."

"The Xiang Family?"

Even more puzzled, Guo Anle inquired, "What happened to the Xiang Family?"

"Xiang Shang was taken away."

Guo Anle was stunned.

Wasn’t Xiang Shang supposed to be lying in the hospital?

"What do you mean, taken away?"

Suddenly.

Guo Anle seemed to realize something, "It wasn’t the He Family’s doing, was it...?"

According to his brother’s words, his first instinct was to guess, but then he immediately felt that it was completely unrealistic.

Even though the He Family was collaborating with Jiang Chen, there was no way they would come to Gangcheng from a business standpoint and tear things up with the Xiang Family.

"It has nothing to do with the He Family."

Guo Xitang exhaled softly, "Give Miss He a call."
