340: Chapter 341: To the Jiang Family!

(Second Update!) 340: Chapter 341: To the Jiang Family!

(Second Update!) Xuanjing City Jiang Family.

It was a series of old wooden houses.

The Jiang Family’s ancestral home was in Jiangnan, where they had grown accustomed to the small wooden houses typical of the water towns.

When they moved to Xuanjing City, they built the same.

And here, these small wooden houses were the territory of the Xuanjing City Jiang Family, with typical classic decorations.

From an aerial view, one could see the servants bustling about within the Jiang Family compound, with the butler tending to the flowers and plants.

But within a small, dilapidated wooden house, darkness reigned.

Originally a place where the Jiang Family confined others, now a young woman was trapped inside.

It was Jiang Weiwei.

Inside the wooden house, the decoration was simple, and the area was not large.

In the center there was a round table, and beside it was a curtained bed.

Sitting by the bed, Jiang Weiwei stared blankly at the table before her, lost in thought.

Ever since that day when the butler had brought her back from Jianghai, she had been confined here.

No one cared for her anymore; she was an abandoned pawn, just discarded without a second thought.

Not even her parents had come to see her, leaving only the servants to bring her daily meals.

Gone were the days of Leya International, gone was Li Chuwen, and gone were many others.

Thinking of her current predicament was heartbreaking, but the only thing that could bring Jiang Weiwei to tears now was the thought of her cheerful anticipation to marry, only to have the engagement forcefully broken.

Thus, as she dwelled on these thoughts, Jiang Weiwei almost burst into tears.

“Mealtime!” At that moment, a shout came from outside.

Immediately, a Jiang Family nanny with a harsh look on her face walked in.

After placing down the food, she glanced at Jiang Weiwei and, upon seeing her eyes brimming with tears, said coldly, “Crying, what for?

Everyone knows that you were only useful for keeping ties with the Tang Family, but look at you, you even caused a broken engagement.

Do you still have any face to cry?

Do you realize how furious the Family Head is?”

The nanny rambled on, looking at Jiang Weiwei.

Jiang Weiwei felt even more aggrieved.

“However, you are still of the Jiang Family’s blood.

The Jiang Family will keep you, and you will become one of the servants!”

Servant?

Jiang Weiwei’s face turned ashen.

If she became a servant of the Jiang Family, she would be a servant for the rest of her life.

“What about my parents?” Jiang Weiwei asked anxiously.

“Them?

You think they could be doing well?

Your family has never brought any luck to the Jiang Family.

There was a time when your parents were a bit happier because of your engagement to the Tang Family.

But now, you’ve been discarded, and you’ve become a servant.

Your father will soon be promoted to butler, and your mother, she’s going to become a nanny,” said the nanny.

At that moment, Jiang Weiwei’s face grew even uglier.

The Jiang Family had changed.

The Jiang Family under her grandfather’s time was not like this; there was no division of status by rank.

When her grandfather was alive, the Jiang Family lived in harmony.

But ever since her grandfather died, and her eldest uncle took over, he started this system of ranking.

All of the Jiang Family members had to show their worth, else they would be expelled.

Her parents had a reputation as prodigal members of the Jiang Family, which is why their status kept falling.

As their daughter, Jiang Weiwei had been targeted all along.

Because of her engagement to the Tang Family, no one had made a move against her, but now that she had been discarded and was useless, their family’s fall from grace was sealed.

Thinking back on Tang Zhong’s resolute decision that day, Jiang Weiwei clenched her fists.

All of today’s suffering was bestowed upon her by Tang Zhong.

She had to find Tang Zhong and ask him why he had done this, but she realized that she couldn’t bring herself to hate him.

The nanny turned and left, no longer speaking.

With the door locked, Jiang Weiwei was once again alone in the room.

Suddenly, a faint blue light emanated from Jiang Weiwei’s neck.

She hurriedly looked down and saw her Phoenix Jade Pendant starting to glow subtly.

The Jade Pendant had glowed many times before, always when Jiang Weiwei thought of Tang Zhong, but each time the light was faint.

This time, however, the glow was much stronger than before.

Clutching the Phoenix Jade Pendant in both hands, Jiang Weiwei could no longer understand.

She remembered the words her grandfather had said a long time ago.

“When you encounter the person with the other half of the jade pendant, that person will be your husband!”

The other half of the jade pendant should be in Tang Zhong’s possession now.

She used to fantasize about what her wedding would be like, but never imagined she would be humiliated with a rescinded marriage proposal, infuriating Jiang Weiwei so much that she ripped the Phoenix Jade Pendant from her neck and hurled it against the wall.

“What husband, what other half of the jade pendant, get out of my world!”

As she saw the Phoenix Jade Pendant slip from her grasp and fly towards the wall,

the greatest fear for jade is being smashed.

Jiang Weiwei dared to throw it, not caring if the jade shattered; if it broke, so be it.

Just as the Phoenix Jade Pendant was about to hit the wall, it suddenly stopped mid-air, hanging there and flickering with light, a brilliance exceptionally dazzling.

Jiang Weiwei’s pupils dilated in shock at the sight.

It was actually flying.

But then an even more bizarre scene unfolded as the jade pendant flew back on its own along the same path it had come.

It landed once more in Jiang Weiwei’s hand.

The intense light then dimmed down.

Staring at the jade pendant in her palm, Jiang Weiwei was stupefied.

She wanted to throw away the jade pendant, but it seemed to exude a strong attraction, no matter how hard she shook it, she couldn’t get rid of it.

Out of frustration, Jiang Weiwei could only squat on the ground, hugging her knees, and burst into tears.

However, what she didn’t know was that the jade pendant, which had dimmed just moments ago, had suddenly started shining again, more brightly than before, as if it had received some guidance.

At this moment, outside the Jiang Family residence, a figure was approaching slowly – it was Tang Zhong.

Having already learned the location of the Jiang Family from the Crown Prince’s Club, he had hurried over here.

He was determined to free Jiang Weiwei before she could suffer any harm.

Suddenly, Tang Zhong felt something was amiss; his chest was flashing continuously, and upon looking down, he saw his Dragon Jade glinting as if it had received some sort of response!

Bright golden beyond measure!

Tang Zhong frowned, finding it strange that his jade pendant had been shining frequently lately without knowing why.

He had originally thought the jade pendant was just an ordinary piece of jade, but after learning half of the Nameless Secret Tome from the jade when he was close to death, he no longer considered it a mere trinket.

He was reminded of the words his grandfather had told him many years ago: your future fiancée holds the other half of the jade pendant.

The jade pendant must be on Jiang Weiwei!

The flashing of the Dragon Jade now, perhaps it was sensing the other half of the jade pendant!

With this thought, Tang Zhong sped up even more, Jiang Weiwei was ahead, and once he had freed her, he would leave without a moment’s hesitation.

Without further delay, Tang Zhong stepped forward.

There wasn’t much time left.

And at that very moment, in front of the Jiang Family gate, several guards stood watch.

Seeing someone approach, they shouted at Tang Zhong: “This is Jiang Family territory, who are you, and what business do you have here?”

Tang Zhong appeared calm and collected, looking ahead, he spoke: “Tang Family’s Tang Zhong, where is Jiang Weiwei?”
