The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 419
CHAPTER 419: CHAPTER 419
The contract was signed, everything went so smoothly it was almost unbelievable.
That evening, Jiang Tairan even held a banquet at Jiang’s Old Mansion, gathering all members of the Jiang family.
When people are happy, their spirits are high.
Jiang Tairan was especially radiant today, and his voice was exceptionally loud.
He raised his glass and said to all the Jiang family members, "As long as we join hands with Emperor Bow Group, we can make our Jiang’s a world-class brand, and it’s only a matter of time before our Jiang’s becomes a multinational group."
The other Jiang family members excitedly raised their glasses as well and celebrated this wonderful moment together.
Jiang Weiwei felt uneasy all over, and she didn’t even want to come to the banquet in the first place.
Yu Man could understand her feelings and didn’t force her too much, but when Jiang Guosheng heard that she didn’t want to participate, he directly scolded her.
"Now that the old man is in such a good mood, can you not dampen his spirits?"
"Don’t forget, you have disappointed him enough recently. If you dampen his spirits again, it will be even harder for you to establish a footing in the Jiang family and to get help from the Jiang family’s resources."
"Take advantage of the fact that the incident from yesterday just happened, and the old man still feels somewhat apologetic towards you, spend more time in his presence, maybe he will even give you other resources as compensation."
Jiang Guosheng and Jiang Tairan are truly similar in character, their eyes and hearts are only set on benefits.
Jiang Weiwei hated these two people to death. If it weren’t for them, she wouldn’t have been with that pig...
But Jiang Weiwei had to admit, she still needed the help of the Jiang family members as her own powers were not yet fully grown.
Thus, Jiang Weiwei still ended up at the Jiang family banquet.
However, looking at Jiang Tairan and the other joyous faces of the Jiang family, she couldn’t feel happy at all and just sulked in a corner.
It was only when Jiang Tairan started the "pork distribution" phase—
Jiang Tairan said, "This time, Jiang’s was able to secure the car system project from THE ONE Group, largely thanks to Guosheng and his family. Hence, I’ve decided to hand this project directly to Guosheng. Dinghai will handle procurement, Jianzhong will be in charge of liaison..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Guosheng felt a thrill in his heart and shared a stealthy glance with Yu Man and Jiang Weiwei, as if to say:
"See, what I said was right. We absolutely must not dampen the old man’s spirit today, otherwise the benefits in our hands would be given to others."
Jiang Weiwei and Yu Man also felt a small thrill of joy, since the promising prospect for Jiang’s right now, was this car system partnership.
Jiang Guosheng receiving the position to oversee it meant that now their main house was leading the Jiang family, and in the future, the second and third branches would have to listen to them.
On the other hand, Jiang Dinghai and Jiang Jianzhong didn’t really show their dissatisfaction, after all, the emerald necklace that opened the door to THE ONE Group had been retrieved by Jiang Moxi.
Moreover, they knew that Jiang Tairan, in order to completely tie Jiang’s with THE ONE Group, didn’t hesitate to subdue Jiang Weiwei and deliver her to the bed of Lai De.
This disreputable action not only ended in vain but also ruined Jiang Weiwei’s innocence.
So they were clear in their minds that Jiang Tairan’s arrangement was simply to appease the main house slightly.
However, Xiao Qingyun and Zhao Guangmei didn’t know these things and felt that the main house had simply lucked out, which extremely displeased them.
But disgruntled as they were, today was still a joyous day for the Jiang family, and they naturally didn’t dare to create a scene at this time.
And seeing that the other two branches had no objections, Jiang Tairan added, "Weiwei should be starting her internship this year, right? Let your dad arrange for you to join the project, follow your dad and do your job well."
"Weiwei, you should thank Grandpa," Yu Man’s eyes also couldn’t hide her glee.
Jiang Weiwei was overjoyed as well, "Thank you Grandpa."
She hadn’t expected that Jiang Tairan would arrange for her to join this important project, which was virtually no different from her being inserted into the senior management of Jiang’s.
If she could stand out among all the Jiang family’s descendants in the future, and even surpass Zhao Guangmei’s son, Jiang Fengmian, then the future of Jiang’s would be handed over to her.
Thinking of that in the future, all members of the Jiang family would have to follow the words of her, someone not related by blood to the Jiang family, Jiang Weiwei felt an indescribable thrill.
She even felt that being humiliated by the fatso for one night was quite worth it.
Until the banquet ended, Jiang Weiwei remained in a dazed state.
But Zhao Guangmei and Xiao Qingyun were very upset.
The Jiang Family had finally secured the vehicle project, but Jiang Guosheng took over the project coordination role and Jiang Weiwei was also arranged to join the project, while their second and third branches didn’t gain any benefits.
So, when the two returned home, they both quarreled with their husbands, hoping their husbands could stand firm once and express their protest against this unfair treatment to the patriarch.
However, whether it was Jiang Jianzhong or Jiang Dinghai, both of them stated, "Indeed, the main branch has contributed a lot, you don’t understand so don’t make a fuss."
That day, not only did Jiang Tairan spend a lot of money retrieving the photos taken by the journalists to silence them,
Jiang Tairan also sternly warned Jiang Dinghai and Jiang Jianzhong that no one should speak of this matter outside, especially to the family members, or else no one would get a share of the Jiang Family’s assets.
Thus, Jiang Dinghai and Jiang Jianzhong could only grit their teeth, while Zhao Guangmei and Xiao Qingyun, unable to get their answer, could only temporarily quiet down.

Emperor City Feng Family——
Jiang Moxi put on jeans and a hoodie, ready to go out.
Suddenly, Si Lin’s voice came: "Where are you going? Take me with you!"
Jiang Moxi turned around, seeing Si Lin standing at her room doorway, his deep eyes staring intently at her.
"I’m just going out for a bit and will be back soon," Jiang Moxi dropped these words and tried to bypass Si Lin.
But Si Lin blocked her way directly: "I don’t believe you! Who knows if you will take the chance to flee far away! Your credibility here has already plummeted."
Jiang Moxi’s brows slightly furrowed, her eyes carrying a hint of exasperation, making her look somewhat more charmingly naive, which slightly distracted Si Lin.
"I don’t plan to run away; I’m just going to pay respects to my brother with my grandfather," said Jiang Moxi.
Si Lin, hearing Jiang Moxi’s voice, came back to his senses.
"Your brother?"
"Yes, I’ll return after paying respects," Jiang Moxi said.
"Alright then."
Only when Si Lin confirmed that Old Master Feng was waiting at the door for Jiang Moxi did he agree to let her go.
Because he believed that Jiang Moxi would not run away and leave the elderly alone.
Jiang Moxi quickly boarded Old Master Feng’s car.
But just after getting in, Jiang Moxi noticed another deep gray Porsche following their car from behind.
Through the rearview mirror, Jiang Moxi clearly saw Fu Youhan with one hand on the steering wheel.
It seemed that he noticed her gaze, as the man suddenly smiled.
Jiang Moxi quickly diverted her gaze.
Ever since Fu Youhan visited her room that night, and after their unhappy parting, as he had promised, he did not appear before her for several days.
During these days, Jiang Moxi also tried to think less about him, less about their sweet past, less about their heart-wrenching despair.
Thinking less about it each day, Jiang Moxi felt herself gradually forgetting, believing that she would be able to let go completely very soon.
But Fu Youhan suddenly appeared before her again.
Previously, the corners of memories Jiang Moxi thought were fading seemed to revive in an instant, making the tip of her nose sting and greatly discouraging her.
Fortunately, just as her emotions dropped to the bottom, Old Master Feng told her, "We’ve arrived."
