My Son-in-law Is A War God-Chapter 1996 - 1998: Who’s the Best at Profiting from Disaster?
Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng are having breakfast.
Jiang Yurong suddenly sent someone to find them.
"The Jiang Clan is holding a family meeting. If you still consider yourselves part of the Jiang Clan, you must attend."
The visitor dropped a line and left.
Xiao Chen sneered, "Do they really think they’re big shots, always bossing around? We’re not going!"
He could already predict, bad things would happen if they went.
Jiang Meng had the same thought.
For Jiang Meng, the only reason she hadn’t left the Jiang Clan yet was her father’s dying wish.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t want any connection to such a cold-hearted family.
But family is family, even if you don’t want to acknowledge them, they are still there.
Their absence made Jiang Yurong quite furious.
Left with no choice, the Jiang Clan came to Longcheng.
"Let’s just see what they’re up to," Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"We can’t avoid them forever, they’ve come to Longcheng," Jiang Meng said with a bitter smile, greeting Jiang Yurong and the others in the Xiao Residence’s hall.
The looks from Jiang Yurong and the others were so fierce that it seemed they wanted to swallow Jiang Meng whole.
Clearly, the Jiang Clan members had made Jiang Meng their enemy, as if she had taken something from them.
Probably still brooding over the Dragon City Martial Arts Academy affair.
But soon, they performed the ultimate face-changing act.
Jiang Yurong smiled sweetly and said, "Meng, you’ve worked hard lately. Great-grandma wants to talk to you, not for anything particular, just to check how your project is progressing.
After all, we’re all family; no need for formalities."
Jiang Meng sighed, "Things are not looking good. Although construction has started, War God King tasked us with handling the academy’s curriculum design.
Without support from the Jianghu community, we can’t compile the teaching materials."
"Hehe, that’s normal. Your Xinmeng Group isn’t a sect, how could you get support from Jianghu people?"
"I’ve always said this project suits our Jiang Clan best. Xinmeng Group was overreaching, really biting off more than it can chew."
...
Jiang Meng initially thought these people had genuinely started caring about her.
Who knew that speaking honestly just attracted ridicule and sarcasm.
Her expression turned gloomy, but she had to admit, they weren’t wrong—Xinmeng Group indeed had little contact with Jianghu.
In this era, they were somewhat left behind.
She had no idea her husband, Xiao Chen, was the Mo Sect Master.
Jiang Yurong shot a glance and said, "Everyone, hush. This is family business, why are you laughing? Now that Meng is facing difficulties, we should actively help.
Jiang Meng, Great-grandma has decided to help you with this matter!
Need to find Jianghu people and get those martial arts manuals—Great-grandma has a way, she’ll make it happen!"
"Wow, is the sun rising from the west? Why are you suddenly so keen on this matter? Go ahead, what’s the catch?"
Xiao Chen said with a grin.
This family has such goodwill?
Who’d believe that!
At any rate, he wasn’t buying it.
"Xiao Chen, don’t say that. Of course, there are conditions. We’ve drawn up a contract; take a look!"
Without beating around the bush, Jiang Yurong gestured, and Jiang Cheng handed over a contract.
Jiang Meng glanced at the contract and couldn’t help but sneer.
This was no contract, it was opportunistic extortion.
According to the contract, the Jiang Clan could help complete the matter.
But Xinmeng Group would have to swap for 20% of its shares.
What a joke.
Xinmeng Group’s shares aren’t just handed out!
Xinmeng Group wasn’t publicly listed; shares belonged to family only and could never be taken by outsiders.
If two-tenths were given to the Jiang Clan, trouble would arise; those shares would play a critical role in the company’s operations.
The Jiang Clan’s greedy intentions were clear.
"Jiang Meng, don’t be mad. You should know, if the project fails, you’ll breach the contract, lose not only money.
But the worst thing is, you’ll offend War God King, which could even lead to Xinmeng Group’s collapse.
But if the contract is signed, the project will be completed as planned.
Though you lose 20% of the shares, isn’t Xinmeng Group still part of our Jiang Clan?
Keep it within the family."
Jiang Yurong smiled lightly, "Do you really think you can solve the problem quickly?"
This time, Elder Bai Yuchen personally found her and assured her Jiang Meng couldn’t complete the task.
So she felt very confident.
If it was Jiang Tiande, that might be unreliable, but Elder Bai Yuchen was influential in Tianxia Society.
His words were absolutely credible. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Jiang Tiande also said smiling, "Jiang Meng, it’s only because we’re family that we’re asking for two-tenths of shares. If it were someone else, the demand would be uglier."
"Tiande, don’t push them too hard. Let’s give them some time to think it over; this isn’t an easy decision to make."
Jiang Yurong rose with a smile, "Let’s go! Time to visit the Beiqi Ancient Clan!"
Since they were in Longcheng, they had to visit the Beiqi Ancient Clan.
After they left, Jiang Meng slammed the table angrily.
Even she didn’t expect the table to break upon impact.
She was startled.
Only then did she realize just how powerful she had become.
Unconscious cultivation had astonishing effects.
"Honey, don’t be angry. It’s pointless to fret over those shameless people," Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"But they were right; I really am facing difficulties," Jiang Meng said with a bitter smile.
"What’s the difficulty? Would you believe your husband can summon an army with just one arrow? Leave it to me," Xiao Chen said with a smile. "I thought it was something serious."
"Really?" Jiang Meng asked.
"When have I ever lied to you? Just focus on other work; I’ll handle this!"
Xiao Chen smiled, "As for the Jiang Clan, don’t rush to refuse them. Let them be happy for a few days."
"You’re so bad, honey," Jiang Meng said with a bitter smile.
"Men need a touch of bad to be loved by women!" Xiao Chen smiled, turned, and left.
...
In the following days, Jiang Meng devoted all her enthusiasm to other work.
Dragon City Martial Arts Academy’s construction progress was very fast, and the quality was guaranteed.
As for writing materials and hiring instructors, Xiao Chen took care of it all.
Because she trusted her husband.
Whenever her husband took on something, it was flawlessly handled, so she didn’t worry at all.
The day passed.
Xiao Chen had already wrapped everything up.
The Jiang Clan probably thought there was no progress, so they came again.
