Chapter 99: The Old Gentleman Arrives

Jiang Yu sat in a small courtyard with an elegant atmosphere at this time. Gu Feifei was brewing tea, and the distinctive fragrance of the premium Xinyang Maojian tea was particularly unique. After taking the position of chairman of Hua Ting Entertainment, she had become less delicate and fragile, more authoritative and dignified. As she bent down, an alluring career line immediately appeared in the loose collar.

"Big Head Fish, do you think the Jiang family will come?" Gu Feifei smiled gently, her tone relaxed and natural. Everyone understood one thing in their hearts: the reason Jiang Yu had not left Jin City immediately was to give the Jiang family a chance.

Jiang Yu picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip. The rich aroma was intoxicating. He smiled and said, "My second uncle's family will kneel and beg me to return. How could I not understand Grandpa's temperament?"

Ma Tianzong laughed. "The teacher is full of affection and righteousness and has never forgotten the Jiang family."

Li Hao curled his lips. "Humph, a bunch of ungrateful villains. If it were me, I would have exterminated them long ago."

Everyone found it both funny and helpless. Li Hao had mixed in the jianghu world for a long time and carried a strong jianghu aura, shouting kill and fight at the drop of a hat, which Ma Tianzong could not stand listening to.

While sipping tea leisurely, Jiang Yu suddenly said, "They're here."

Everyone immediately fell silent and looked toward the entrance of the small courtyard.

Gu Feifei frowned and asked curiously, "Big Head Fish, where are the people?"

Jiang Yu smiled confidently and whispered softly, "They're arriving soon."

His divine sense had long sensed the auras of the Jiang family members outside, though they were still some distance away. Someone as mortal as Gu Feifei would not be able to detect it at all.

A few minutes later, led by Jiang Grandfather, everyone had almost arrived. However, no one entered; they stood at the entrance of the small courtyard, hesitant and pacing back and forth.

Along the way, Jiang Grandfather sighed repeatedly, saying he could not face Jiang Yu.

Just as everyone was hesitating, a faint voice rang in their minds: "Since you've arrived, please come in."

Everyone looked at each other in shock, as if Jiang Yu's voice existed inside their heads. From their expressions, it was clear they had all heard it.

Jiang Grandfather smiled bitterly. "What exactly happened to Little Fish?"

With that, he strode forward, followed by the others.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shaoqi had also come. After a calm lunch, he was much more normal now. But he did not dare look directly at Jiang Yu; every time he saw that face, it was like a nightmare.

Jiang Yun, Jiang Lingxing, Second Aunt, and Eldest Aunt were wide-eyed. Jiangbei's richest man Ma Tianzong and Cloud City's big shot Li Hao sat obediently beside Jiang Yu.

Gu Feifei, who held the largest shares in Hua Ting Entertainment, also poured tea for Jiang Yu like a little bird depending on someone.

The scene before them startled them, making their hearts race. They wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in their throats.

Current Jiang Yu carried an enormous oppressive force; there was no trace of the ordinary person from before. Everyone felt as if they were facing an immortal and could not help but want to kneel and bow.

In fact, this pressure had been deliberately released by Jiang Yu, targeting only the Jiang family members. Ma Tianzong and Li Hao felt nothing.

Looking at Jiang Yun and the others, sweat beaded their foreheads as they struggled to endure. Even one ten-thousandth of Ming Dong Immortal Venerable's pressure was unbearable for ordinary people. Fortunately, Jiang Yu retracted it in time, and the overwhelming pressure vanished.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their bodies drenched in sweat.

"Is there something?" Jiang Yu did not even glance at them and picked up the teacup himself.

Second Aunt bit her teeth and spoke sharply, "Jiang Yu, we've come so humbly, yet you're still so ungrateful. What else do you want?"

Jiang Yu's gaze turned cold, his tone icy. "Humph, what do you think you are, daring to speak to me like that?"

With those words, Second Aunt's body trembled as if targeted by an invisible force, goosebumps rising instinctively.

"Kneel!"

Jiang Yu's voice rose like thunder from the ninth heaven.

Second Aunt immediately knelt, as if her body was not listening, her lips quivering, too scared to speak.

Only then did she realize: the Jiang Yu now was not the young fool from before, but a figure who dominated two provinces, a respected existence.

"Jiang Yu, what do you want?"

Jiang Yun gritted his teeth; that contempt made him uncomfortable. No matter what, he was the one holding the reins of the Jiang family, with some status.

Jiang Yu said indifferently, "If you want to talk to me, kneel first. Am I Jiang Yu someone you can come and go as you please? If not for Zi Yue and Grandpa's sake, you wouldn't even have the right to see me."

"Grandpa, Zi Yue, come here."

Jiang Yu shook the teacup and spoke calmly.

Jiang Grandfather remained composed, holding Zi Yue's little hand and walking to sit beside Jiang Yu.

Gu Feifei handed the tea over and said mischievously, "Grandpa, hello."

Grandpa's face lit up with a smile. This was a famous celebrity, and now the chairman of Hua Ting Entertainment. He nodded respectfully, "Hello, hello."

Gu Feifei pouted, "Grandpa, don't be so formal."

Jiang Yu scolded unhappily, "Stop flattering."

Gu Feifei stuck out her tongue. Being smart, she planned to start with Grandpa. As long as Grandpa agreed, she could force Jiang Yu to marry her. Humph, let's see if you dare to disobey.

But this little scheme had long been seen through by Jiang Yu.

Grandpa sighed, "Little Fish, that matter was Grandpa's fault. I hope you won't blame Grandpa."

Jiang Yu shook his head. "You're you, Jiang Yun is Jiang Yun. I've always been clear about grudges and won't mix them up. It's not impossible to ask me back to the Jiang family, but only if your second uncle's family kowtows a hundred times for me, and I'll naturally return to the Jiang family."

Upon hearing this condition, Second Aunt's face changed drastically. A hundred kowtows? Even if willing, how long would that take?

Before the eldest uncle's family could rejoice, Jiang Yu's next words left them stunned.

Jiang Yu said, "Although the eldest uncle's family did not actively trouble my family, you see the wind as grass and are indecisive. As the eldest, you should have been capable but were useless. You should have tied grass as ropes and used wood as frames to carry me back to the Jiang family. Only then can this matter be settled."

The eldest uncle's family and second uncle's family were all dumbfounded.

Jiang Grandfather snorted coldly, "Didn't you hear what Little Fish said?"

Zi Yue was so scared her face turned pale. She looked at Jiang Yu, "Ah, do I have to be carried too?"

Jiang Yu chuckled, "You don't have to. This is just a punishment for your parents. In this world, probably only after you provoke me to this point are you still safe and sound."

Zi Yue looked worriedly at her parents.

Jiang Lingxing gritted his teeth, "Good, I agree."

Eldest Aunt also nodded, "As long as you can resolve the Jiang family's crisis, I'll do anything for you."

Now only the second uncle's family remained.

Jiang Yu slowly lowered his head and sipped tea.

Li Hao sneered, "What are you standing there for? Do you want me to help? I've disliked your family for a long time. If not for the teacher's sake, I'd have thrown you all into the river to feed the fish."

Jiang Yun's face was full of despair. Everyone had compromised, so why was he still resisting?

He forcefully kowtowed to the ground, "Little Fish, Second Uncle was wrong. Second Uncle is kowtowing to apologize."

Jiang Yu shook his head, "I'm not asking you to kowtow for me, but for my parents. The elders are not here; I just accepted it for them. As for your troubles with me, if I really cared, even a thousand lives wouldn't be enough for me to cut you down."

Jiang Yu knew that even if he did not give the Jiang family this chance, they would still find his parents later. The elders had soft ears and could not withstand the repeated persuasion, and over time, they would call Jiang Yu themselves to return to the Jiang family.

Since that was the case, it might be better to let them suffer a bit first to teach them a lesson.

"You stinky woman, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and kowtow, not wanting to lose face enough?"

Jiang Yun scolded, and Second Aunt immediately kowtowed to Jiang Yu in apology.

Jiang Shaoqi clenched his fists and stood in place, but now he still did not have the qualification to be put in Jiang Yu's eyes.

Kowtowing over thirty times, Jiang Yun's head was bleeding, yet he did not dare to stop, afraid that if Jiang Yu said "stop," it would not count.

Grandpa seemed to recall something and hurriedly asked Jiang Yu, "Little Fish, last night someone sent me a pill, I don't know..."

Jiang Yu nodded and smiled, "It was me who sent it."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yue lifted her head and stared fixedly at Jiang Yu, her heart unable to calm for a long time.

Grandpa gave a bitter smile.

"I didn't expect our elders' minds to be no better than a young one's."
