That evening, everyone ultimately did not sit together for dinner.
“Grandma, let’s go eat in the private room next door. It’ll be quieter for everyone. Why don’t you come with us?” Jiang Chen suggested.
“Alright.” The old lady cast a deep glance at Zhou Pingyong, her eyes filled with reproach, before leaving the room with Jiang Chen's family.
Zhou Duanmei and Zhou Lianhua's family stood frozen in place, unsure of what to do. They felt like a blade of grass swaying in the wind, uncertain and unstable.
“Zhou Duanmei, Lianhua, let’s have dinner together. Don’t forget, we are the real family here. You shouldn’t get too close to Zhou Rongli’s family. I’ve made myself very clear; Jiang Chen is young and impulsive, and he won’t end well. Historically, no arrogant person has ever had a good ending,” Zhou Pingyong said.
“Brother, are you serious? Did Jiang Chen really kill that many people?” Zhou Duanmei asked incredulously.
“This is what I’ve managed to find out; there’s certainly more that I haven’t uncovered. What era are we in? Killing is against the law. I refuse to believe that the law can’t bring Jiang Chen down,” Zhou Pingyong said coldly. He had gone to great lengths to gather evidence of Jiang Chen’s crimes, which he could later use as proof in court.
“However, I don’t see Jiang Chen worrying at all. He should be fine. The only thing I know is that Hu Sanxiong’s son was killed by him, but I heard that Hu Lao treats Jiang Chen with great respect and hasn’t mentioned reporting him. Perhaps Jiang Chen is more formidable than we think. I believe, brother, it would be best for you not to oppose Rongli anymore. It would be wise to bury the hatchet sooner rather than later,” Zhou Duanmei said thoughtfully.
“What you see is just the surface,” Zhou Pingyong said meaningfully.
“What deeper truths can you see? Is Hu Lao’s respect for Jiang Chen just an act?” Zhou Duanmei frowned.
“You’ll understand when Jiang Chen loses his power. Now, let’s eat,” Zhou Pingyong replied with a smile.
“Brother, I think I’ll go have dinner with Rongli instead,” Zhou Duanmei said firmly after a moment of thought.
“I’ll go too,” Zhou Lianhua added.
Although Zhou Pingyong confidently claimed that Jiang Chen would soon lose his influence, both Zhou Duanmei and Zhou Lianhua were skeptical. Over the past two years, they had thrived thanks to their relationship with Zhou Rongli’s family and were more inclined to believe in them than in Zhou Pingyong.
“Heh, once you walk out of this room today, don’t regret it tomorrow,” Zhou Pingyong said coldly, displeased.
“No regrets! Jiang Chen is my god-nephew, and Rongli is my sister; of course I support them! Brother, there’s really no need to make things worse. Just don’t report them tomorrow; it would be better to keep some distance rather than completely sever ties,” Zhou Duanmei earnestly advised before stepping out the door.
“Yes, brother, what my sister said makes sense. You and Rongli’s family have no deep-seated grudges. If you can soften your stance and considering Jiang Chen’s relationship with Miss Yue, our family could soon become one of the top families in Hangcheng,” Zhou Lianhua added.
“Heh.” Zhou Pingyong scoffed repeatedly.
“Since you enjoy flattering Zhou Rongli’s family so much, go ahead! After all, a married daughter is like spilled water; she no longer counts as part of our family,” Zhou Pingyong's tone became sharp.
“Brother, what do you mean by that?” Both Zhou Duanmei and Zhou Lianhua turned pale with anger; his words were too hurtful.
