C205 Where Is Your Backbone
Where's your backbone?
"Jiang Ran greets Grandfather Chang Geng!" Jiang Ran bowed towards Jiang Changgeng calmly.
"Little Flame, sit! Jiang Ran, what exactly is happening? " Jiang Changgeng nodded in satisfaction.
Jiang Ran stood up straight, his hands on his knees. He had a very handsome face and gave off the aura of a soldier.
He spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Grandfather, actually, my Third Uncle getting beaten up is nothing much, we are not hurt at all. We are a family once, and you even helped me study and join the army that year, I shouldn't have minded it!"
Following that, he changed the subject as he said worriedly: "I'm worried about Jiang Tian. His impulsiveness is naturally nothing in the Jiangzhuang, everyone is accustomed to him. But outside... But you will suffer! "
"Jiang Ran, this Child is amazing!"
At this time, Ninth Uncle Jiang Shouren and the rest had looks of admiration on their faces.
Jiang Ran's words were said in a very proper manner, there was no trace of aggressiveness in them at all. Furthermore, his cultivation was also very high, but it went straight to the point. From Jiang Tian's development onwards, he asked the Gramps to punish Jiang Tian.
Jiang Changgeng slowly opened his mouth and said: "Alright, call Jiang Tian over. Let's see what exactly he has to say!"
Jiang Lin walked over quickly and called Jiang Tian over.
Zhang Wanqing's face was filled with worry. Jiang Zhixing said in a soft but rather strict voice, "Jiang Tian, admit your wrongs and be a little better!"
Jiang Tian stood at the foot of the hall and said indifferently: "I am here to offer my grandfather's birthday wishes. He stopped me from entering the village and even said that Qing Feng had removed me from the family tree.
He looked at Jiang Qingfeng and said indifferently: "Qingfeng, do you think I should fight?"
"Qingfeng, is this true?" A sharp glint flashed in the depths of Jiang Changgeng's eyes.
"Grandfather, please listen to my explanation …" Jiang Qingfeng's face stiffened, feeling resentment in his heart.
Jiang Daya is such a failure, why did he even tell me?
"Grandfather, this matter was my brother's decision, but it was also for the development of Jiang Family!"
Jiang Banxia said with a cold laugh, "Three years ago, Jiang Tian stirred up a great disaster. This time, when he came back, before his butt had even warmed up, and the Jinling gambling stone had once again angered Yu Qiang, wouldn't his return to the Jiang Family be the same as provoking a calamity?"
"That's right …" Didn't Jiang Tian get kicked out of his house? "Then you must never come in again!"
"Yes, yes, yes, he's a troublemaker. What's the use of coming back again?" Some of the disciples in the audience also spoke up.
"A piece of trash like him simply doesn't have the qualifications to be a disciple of our Jiang Family. Brother Qingfeng did the right thing!"
Some disciples sneered and said.
"He dares to hit even the Yanjing Eldest Young Master s, and even provokes Yu Qiang, he must be tired of living. If he wants to die, that's fine too. But don't drag our Jiang Family into this! This is simply a scam! "
Some disciples had faces full of anger.
"Have you finished? Allow me, the old man, to say a few words — "
A weak but dignified voice was heard.
It was Jiang Changgeng who spoke, the might of the Gramps was not for show, everyone immediately shut their mouths.
"Qingfeng, your surname and name is a part of the family tree. It is the dignity of every child of the Jiang Family."
Jiang Changgeng started with a very light tone, but gradually, the anger on her face became more and more prominent, and her voice also became more and more high-pitched:
"You can't take it away without going through a family meeting. As a junior of the third generation, what right do you have to take away Jiang Tian's surname? "You dog, are you really in your thirties?"
Jiang Qingfeng was so frightened that his whole body shivered, he lowered his head and replied: "Grandfather, this grandson knows his wrongs!"
Jiang Changgeng was furious, and replied coldly: "Jiangzhuang is the root of our Jiang Family, today you asked for Jiang Tian to enter based on your own good will, in the future, there will be people who would dare to not let a trash like you in! Now I suspect that you are so narrow-minded, that you might have the ability to control Medicine King Group! "
"…" Jiang Qingfeng was exasperated, he was anxious and frightened.
What virtue or ability did Jiang Tian have to protect him like that? The Gramps even started to doubt his own ability.
Everyone present were stunned, they never thought that the Gramps would protect Jiang Tian in such a way.
Many people from the Jiang Family frowned, shook their heads and sighed, feeling that Jiang Changgeng was too biased.
"Grandfather, how can you be so biased?"
Jiang Banxia was very beautiful, she was very spoiled, seeing her brother being scolded at in front of everyone, she felt very indignant, and asked aggrievedly:
"Just based on the fact that Jiang Tian struck down the Yanjing Eldest Young Master in order to stir up a huge disaster, he must not be forgiven!"
"It was his grandfather who had treated him too lightly and acted so arrogantly that year, and that was why he developed his personality of looking down on everyone else. A few days ago, he provoked Yu Qiang again! "
Hearing that, the faces of Jiang Zhixing and his wife stiffened, their eyes filled with worry.
This was Jiang Tian's weakness, a fact that he could never change.
Many people from the Jiang Family were looking at Jiang Tian with cold eyes, gloating while shaking their heads.
You can forget about this stain for the rest of your life. Every time you mention it, you will admit your mistakes and give in.
For a moment, the hall was silent.
Everyone turned to look at Gramps to see what he would say.
"This matter has already happened three years ago, and I've never talked about it properly. Today, I have to share my thoughts!"
A few traces of anger surfaced on Jiang Changgeng's face, as he said hoarsely.
Many people had their ears perked, their eyes were filled with excitement, gloating while looking at Jiang Tian, waiting for him to punish Jiang Tian severely.
"If Jiang Tian is guilty, then everyone present is guilty!"
"And I, Jiang Changgeng, am even more unforgivable. I ought to thank my ancestors with my death!"
These words from Jiang Changgeng caused everyone's face to change drastically. They were so shocked that they were breaking out in cold sweat.
"Dad, today is your birthday celebration, how can you say such unlucky words?"
"Jiang Tian, look, you made Gramps so angry that he became confused!"
Jiang Shouren and the rest looked anxious as they stood up one after another to console Gramps.
Jiang Changgeng closed his eyes as many complex emotions flashed across his face. He didn't say anything for a long time, as if he was recalling that day three years ago.
"I'm not confused!"
Jiang Changgeng calmed down again and gestured for everyone to sit down.
Waiting for everyone to take their seats, Jiang Changgeng slowly said. "The reason why the family members of Yanjing want to cancel the engagement, is not because of Jiang Tian alone, but because they think that our Jiang Family is not worthy of their family!"
"If their Jiang Family was ten times stronger, if they could be ranked as one of the top families in China, even if Jiang Tian was a cripple, a trash, or an idiot, they would still use all of their strength to build relationships with each other and happily arrange a marriage, not break the engagement with Jiang Tian!"
Upon hearing those words, everyone's faces and ears flushed red as their hearts jumped in fear.
"I still remember that day when they came over to cancel the engagement. They were mighty, their eyes were high at the top, and they were lofty like heavenly princes that viewed my Jiang Family as mere dust, haughty to the extreme."
"And you... Everyone has a submissive countenance, and they have to lower their heads to apologize and apologize to others! "
Jiang Changgeng slammed the table and said angrily: "I wonder, what crime did my Jiang Family commit? It was they who broke their promise, who tore apart the marriage contract, it was they who disrespected their elders! Excuse me, where is your backbone? Where are your guts? "
's fat face was already drenched in cold sweat, and his head was lowered as well, as his face filled with shame.
"When the other party suggested annulling the engagement, Jiang Tian basically didn't care. It was that so-called Eldest Young Master of Yanjing who dared to call me 'Old Jiang' without respect, and even asked me if I was hotter than garlic … Jiang Tian made his move!
Jiang Changgeng was silent for a while, then sighed with a bitter face and said: "But, unfortunately, at that time, Jiang Tian was the only one who fought for the honor of the clan! Perhaps you think he was childish, but it seems to me at least that he is! It would not lose the guts of a man, it would not lose the courage of a man, and it would not lose the bravery and arrogance of a man with good Jiang Family! "
Everyone was stunned, unable to believe what they had just heard.
Gramps's personality had always been very calm and mild, who would have known that she would actually have such a heart of a tyrant hidden in her heart.
Unexpectedly, there were traces of... Vicious aura.
"Actually, this should be grandpa's true face. Although an inner saint and outer king can wholeheartedly cultivate, they also have the ambition to rule the country and conquer the world!"
Only Jiang Tian had a flash of understanding in his heart, I should have returned early to see Grandfather …
Jiang Changgeng slowly took a sip of the tea-water, his eyes exploding with light as he lightly said: "As the Patriarch of a family, I cannot make a move against a junior! But I really wanted to slap him! "
"Now, regarding the matter from three years ago, I want to give Jiang Tian an objective and fair evaluation — You're not playing well. Wasn't there a chair with a brick? You use bricks? Why do you have to use your hands! "
As he spoke to here, his eyes actually narrowed and he smiled mischievously, with a bit of cunning.
Gramps's words could be said to be aimed directly at one's vital parts, striking right into the heart.
Jiang Zhixing, his wife, and Jiang Lin all thought so deeply, they even felt enlightened.
However, most of the people had long since lost their morale and were not resolute, so they did not agree with Gramps's words.
"Sigh, in this world, strength is important. Stubborn, how much can it be worth? "
"Jiang Tian did it because of his prestige, and his Jiang Family back then did not seem to lose so much face, but now … The Jiang Family is an enemy that is everywhere! "
"Jiang Tian was just a popinjay Young Master, how could he have known so much about it, why would he fight for the honor of his clan? What a mess! He just likes to fight! "
"Grandfather is too protective of him! Just you watch, he's definitely going to get more and more crazy, and sooner or later he's going to play himself to death! "
Many people discussed softly. They were even more unconvinced with Jiang Tian, and were even more unsatisfied and disgusted with him.
At this time, seeing that the situation was a little cold, Ninth Uncle leaned on his staff with both hands and laughed amiably.
"Chang Geng, today is your seventieth birthday, a day of joyous celebration. Don't blame the Children for this, it makes them tremble and cringe in fear. I think we should continue with the next segment! Let the juniors kowtow to you and offer you a birthday present! "
Many people were still laughing when they heard this. However, their eyes were filled with a certain sternness as they exchanged glances with each other.
Every year, the gifts of the younger generation were of utmost importance. It was when the children and grandchildren displayed their results that everyone competed with each other.
"They're not young anymore, we can forget about them kowtowing!"
Jiang Changgeng regained some of his friendliness and laughed: "Quickly send the gifts you guys prepared up here, let's go through the motions, everyone should get ready to eat, don't be hungry!"
"I wish grandfather luck like the East Sea, life longer than Nanshan!"2
Jiang Te was the first to stand up. He kowtowed on the ground, kowtowed three times, and then took out a gift box from his second uncle's hands. "Grandpa, look!
