Chapter 466: Chapter 430: Jiang Zhe Just Wants to Send His Regards to His Entire Family_4

Zhuo Jinman and Jiang Xi were of similar age, and at that time, they were the renowned favored daughters of heaven in Beicheng Continent, beauties of Beicheng, both with comparable abilities. Their common research focus in medicine resulted in them being in fierce competition with one another.

Latterly, a lot of things happened, and Jiang Xi left Beicheng Continent. Zhuo Jinman’s family rose to power single-handedly, gradually seizing control of the entire Beicheng Continent.

However, even with Jiang Xi gone, she still hung over Zhuo Jinman like the sword of Damocles, preventing her from finding peace for even a moment.

She feared that Jiang Xi could reappear at any time, and as soon as Jiang Xi did show up, her status would surely be threatened.

Because of this, Zhuo Jinman went to great lengths to prevent Jiang Zhe from entering Beicheng Continent.

Yes, the moment she laid eyes on Jiang Zhe, she knew she must be Jiang Xi’s daughter. Those bewitching, expressive fox-like eyes belonged to no one other than Jiang Xi.

Jiang Yaowang said with a smile, "I’ve always been by the young lady’s side, doing work for her. I’m at her beck and call, whether in life or death. Isn’t it pretty normal that I’m still around her?"

Just like the many others by Jiang Xi’s side, they were all willing to serve Jiang Xi with loyalty. Jiang Yaowang was merely one of them.

The thought provoked an uncontrollable surge of jealousy and resentment in Zhuo Jinman.

She forced a lid on it and asked with a forced smile, "I’ve been an old friend of Jiang Xi’s for many years now, and it’s been so long since she’s left. Does anyone know when she’ll be coming back?"

"The young lady has always been open-minded and easy-going, a free spirit who dislikes being confined or hindered by rules and stipulations. She’ll come back whenever she wishes to, and it’s highly possible that she might not return. I cannot be certain of that," Jiang Yaowang said, always sounding proud when mentioning Jiang Xi.

Zhuo Jinman said with a smile, "You don’t have to be so agitated. I’m just casually inquiring, to see if there’s a chance to reunite with an old friend."

"Well, that’s probably not going to happen. The young lady isn’t interested in power struggles, so it’s unlikely that she’ll continue to be friends with someone not on the same path as her."

Zhuo Jinman laughed, "Maybe not. We have a certain kinship in our appreciation for each other, so you never know."

Jiang Yaowang did not continue the conversation.

He did not want Jiang Xi’s affairs to be revealed to outsiders.

Even Jiang Zhe hadn’t asked, and he had not mentioned it.

"Mr. Jiang, I know you are exceptionally skilled in the research of traditional Chinese medicine and herbs. I’m currently short of hands..."

"Sorry, I have no intention of staying in Beicheng Continent," Jiang Yaowang rejected her outright.

Zhuo Jinman wasn’t surprised by his attitude, simply saying, "Working for me doesn’t affect your ongoing assistance to Jiang Xi. I just don’t want to waste talent."

"I’m a simple man, capable only of doing one thing at a time; taking on two tasks simultaneously is impossible for me. Dr. Zhuo, there’s no need to persuade me anymore."

Jiang Yaowang was very firm in his stance.

Zhuo Jinman, leaning forward with her hands on the table, said, "Mr. Jiang, perhaps you could consider staying a bit longer. After you reach a decision, I can take you to the airport."

"Zhuo Jinman, aren’t you afraid that the old Madam Jiang will give you trouble?"

"Mr. Jiang, you’ve probably been away from Beicheng Continent for too long and are unaware that the Jiang Family has long lost its former glory. Both of Jiang Xi’s brothers are already gone. The family is now either too old or too young, already... tsk, you don’t have to look so sorrowful. With all that’s happened to the Jiang Family, Jiang Xi didn’t return, and it’s useless for her to come back now. As for the old Madam Jiang, I will naturally explain the situation to her."

Having said that, Zhuo Jinman turned and left.

Jiang Yaowang clenched his fists, his aged face showing a mix of grief and helplessness.

He was aware of the deaths of Jiang Xi’s two brothers but at that time he was also powerless.

These years, his only aim was to preserve Jiang Zhe’s life.

He just did not expect the Zhuo Family to have become so brazen.

...

Old Madam Jiang, upon hearing that Jiang Yaowang had been detained by Zhuo Jinman, immediately became furious.

"Who does she think she is! How dare she!"

The butler served tea to her, trying to calm her down, "Old Madam, please have some water to soothe your feelings."

But old Madam Jiang couldn’t bring herself to drink.

"Zhuo Jinman is holding on to Jiang Yaowang, not to have him work for her, but clearly to pry into Jiang Xi’s affairs, and to slap the Jiang Family in the face!"

On hearing the words of old Madam Jiang, the butler also couldn’t help but feel regret and melancholy. If it had been the Jiang Family of earlier years, how could they be suppressed like this by Zhuo Jinman?

It was truly an insult to the current state of the Jiang Family!

"Bring me the phone!" demanded old Madam Jiang.
