Chapter 631: The Watcher

In the capital, Jiang Tao was consolidating the power of the Jiang family.

Old Master Jiang was getting older. He didn’t want to give up his power, but he had no choice when his heir was expanding so aggressively.

However, he was still apprehensive.

After the Qin girl tried to use him to get rid of Xiao Lingyu and after being warned by Old Man Gong, Old Master Jiang had a vague feeling that there was something else going on. However, due to the interference of the Gong family, he could not send anyone to investigate further.

Therefore, when he found out that Gong Tianhao was unconscious, he immediately sent someone to re-investigate the matter.

This time, since the Gong Family was not there to intervene, his investigation was very successful. It was as he expected. His grandson and the brat from the Gong family actually liked the same woman.

No wonder the Qin girl had used him.

When Old Master Gong found out that Gong Tianhao had married that country woman and given birth to a son, he immediately felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.

He had lost to Gong Zhen again. Fortunately, the wife that Gong Tianhao had married was not from a big family but a slut from the countryside. Otherwise, he would have been so angry that he would have vomited blood.

After he found out that Gong Tianhao was unconscious, Old Master Jiang revealed his cards with Jiang Tao. He threw the photo in front of Jiang Tao and said sternly and coldly, “I know that you like Gong Tianhao’s wife.”

Jiang Tao’s face tensed up, and he couldn’t help but feel flustered. He clenched his fists. He took a deep breath and said, “Grandfather, what are you talking about? Why can’t I understand?”

Old Master Jiang snorted and said, “You don’t understand?! What are these then?” He threw the photo in his hand at Jiang Tao and then scolded him coldly, “Useless thing. Why would you like a country slut and a used woman?” Old Master Jiang was quite vicious.

The photos on the ground were all of him and Xiao Lingyu together. There were even those from the times he couldn’t even remember.

Jiang Tao’s eyes spewed out flames of anger as he gnashed his teeth and said, “Grandfather, she’s not a slut. She’s already married to Gong Tianhao. Please watch your words, grandfather!”

Old Master Jiang’s sharp gaze immediately shot towards Jiang Tao as he said with a gloomy expression, “This woman is promiscuous and will open her legs for anyone. If she’s not a slut, then what is she? To think that the Gong family would treasure this slut so much! They really deserve to help someone else raise his child.” After Gong Tianhao’s car accident, Old Master Gong hid a lot of information so that no one would find out about Xiao Tong’s identity.

Therefore, Old Master Jiang’s investigation showed that Xiao Lingyu married Gong Tianhao while carrying another man’s child. Therefore, Old Master Jiang despised and looked down on her even more.

…

“Who knows what kind of charm the slut has given Gong Zhen. Isn’t he afraid that the Gong family will become a joke in the entire capital?”

When Jiang Tao heard his grandfather’s words, his fists clenched so tightly that they cracked. In the end, he took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, “Grandfather, that is something for the Gong Family to worry about.” At the same time, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, his grandfather did not discover that the child was actually from the Gong family. Otherwise, his grandfather might really harm the child. He could leak the news to the other families. Then, Xiao Lingyu and her son would really be in danger.

Old Master Jiang snorted coldly and said, “Hmph, as if I want to meddle in the affairs of the Gong family.” He paused for a moment and stared sharply at Jiang Tao. His tone was filled with a strong warning. “Jiang Tao, I’m warning you. I don’t care what you still think of that village slut. From now on, forget about her. Otherwise, I’m going to make a move.

“The Gong family did stop me once. But now, the Gong family doesn’t have the ability to stop me a second time.”

Jiang Tao’s pupils constricted. At that moment, he was even more eager to control the power of the Jiang family. That was because only after obtaining the power of the Jiang Family that he could cast off his grandfather’s control and protect the people he wanted to protect.

Now that Gong Tianhao was unconscious, no one knew when he would wake up. So he needed to protect Xiao Lingyu from harm before Gong Tianhao woke up.

Therefore, Jiang Tao became a very obedient heir for the past two years.

He did whatever grandfather Jiang told him to do and didn’t do whatever he wasn’t allowed to do. He completely became the qualified heir of the Jiang family that grandfather Jiang wanted to nurture.

The marriage alliance with the Qin family was later broken after the Qin family had an accident. The marriage alliance between the Jiang and Qin families was even broken, and the Qin family had quickly turned from a first-class family into a low-class family.

Even if the Qin Family had another daughter, they no longer had the qualifications to associate with the Jiang family.

Thus, old master Jiang found someone from another big family, the daughter of the Leng family, Leng Piaoxue.

Jiang Tao didn’t refuse and got engaged to Leng Piaoxue.

Old Master Jiang was really satisfied.

He felt that his grandson was really obedient, so he slowly handed the power to Jiang Tao.

It had been almost two years.

Jiang Tao’s position in the Jiang family was finally stable. Even though Jiang Tao hadn’t become the head of the family, he had begun to exercise the head’s power.

However, grandfather Jiang was still somewhat wary of him and did not give him the ring that symbolized the head of the family.

Jiang Tao did not care. At least, if Old Master Jiang really made a move against Xiao Lingyu, he would no longer be a weakling who could not fight back.

While he was competing for power within the Jiang Family, Jiang Tao had also been secretly paying attention to Xiao Lingyu’s news. He knew that even if Gong Tianhao was in a coma, elder Gong would definitely protect Xiao Lingyu.

He noticed that over the past year, Xiao Lingyu’s Taoyuan Village had blossomed a lot.

For example, Taoyuan village had gone from being the poorest village to being a very wealthy village.

For example, the Peach Blossom Village’s specialty products were all over the media.

When Jiang Tao saw this, he felt very gratified.

He knew Xiao Lingyu was behind all these.

She was not knocked down because of Gong Tianhao’s accident. That was really strong.

Jiang Tao smiled and said, “Lingyu, you are really strong and impressive. However, if Tianhao knew that you worked so hard, he would definitely be heartbroken, right?” When he said the last sentence, he even felt sorry for himself.

He heard that Xiao Lingyu had opened more than a dozen supermarket chains. In addition to the income from the Taoyuan Village, some people estimated that her wealth was at least in the hundreds of millions.

Normally, people proceeded from one to a hundred, then from a hundred to a thousand, then from a hundred to a hundred billion.

Xiao Lingyu, on the other hand, had directly jumped from a millionaire to a billionaire.

All the tourists who had been to Taoyuan Village or the customers who had gone to the fruit and vegetable supermarket had given them high ratings.

However, when he turned on his computer yesterday, he was flooded with all kinds of bad news and abusive comments against Taoyuan Village and Xiao Lingyu. It made Jiang Tao’s face turn ashen, and there was faint anger on his face.

Then, he immediately called his trusted aides to investigate.

As for why he sent his trusted aides, it was naturally because this matter couldn’t be known by the Jiang family.

Not long after, his subordinate reported the information he had investigated.

Jiang Tao narrowed his eyes. “Bai Shanshan? Who is this woman? Why is she going after Taoyuan Village Green Fresh Company and the boss?”

The subordinate reported truthfully, “Bai Shanshan worked in Green Fresh but she was bullied by the company’s employees because of her beauty. Even the boss couldn’t stand her. According to…”

“Impossible. Xiao Lingyu is not such a person.” Jiang Tao didn’t even hear the whole story and immediately denied it.

“…” the subordinate continued, “According to what she said on the internet, even if so many people in the company were jealous of her, she still bore the humiliation. It was not until she was fired unjustly that she decided to expose the company’s dark secrets.

“However, according to my investigation, Bai Shanshan is purely distorting the truth. She is completely out for revenge.”

After a moment of silence, Jiang Tao ordered, “Immediately find out where Bai Shanshan is and bring her to the Shadow Hall.”

“Yes!”
