Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 1782 - 1783: Eldest Granddaughter of the Wealthy Family 46

"I refuse to believe that this kid went out gambling, and the Zhang Family knew nothing about it."

"Even if they didn’t know at first, once they found out about the huge debts, they should have kept a strict watch on him to prevent him from racking up more."

"And don’t say your wife didn’t know about this, giving her family so much money—wouldn’t she ask what it’s for?"

"Does your wife really not know her nephew is gambling?" Zhang Jiang knew that Zhang Yutong just wanted Zhang Hai to shift his focus away and stop watching over their family.

Originally, as it didn’t involve him, he didn’t care. As long as the couple didn’t divorce, they’d remain entangled, which meant more interesting things would happen.

But now that Zhang Yutong wanted to deflect the blame onto him, how could he tolerate it? Of course, he couldn’t.

"And if it weren’t for your wife saying something, how would he have the confidence to gamble so boldly?"

"Zhang Hai, I know you’ve always thought that my elder sister and I can’t educate children and that the children we raise are not as good as Zhang Yinghao."

"I admit my son is a failure, but your wife’s family is not the scholarly one we knew before."

"Oh right, last time I heard you were planning to place that kid in the company’s investment company." Zhang Jiang knew that after this incident, the Old Master would never allow that kid to work in the company.

Though he might not need to go to work at the company, this matter can’t just be settled like this. As a good elder brother, he really doesn’t mind giving a tiny bit of advice.

"He doesn’t have the right to use the investment department’s money." Zhang Hai was overwhelmed—he wanted nothing more than to cover Zhang Jiang’s mouth with his hand.

If he says any more, Zhang Hai has this gut feeling that it might lead to his marriage falling apart.

He has a lot of dissatisfaction with Zhang Yutong right now, and if he could, he’d really want to file for divorce immediately, but he knows now is definitely not the best time.

"Yes, of course, he doesn’t have the right to use the investment department’s money," Zhang Jiang nodded, "but after he joined the investment department, as your wife’s nephew, you’d certainly consider him as one of your own."

"Old Three, I know you’ve always wanted your people to enter the investment department and the finance department, especially the latter, which is a cash source for the company."

"But you don’t have suitable people at hand, or rather, anyone who’d satisfy the Old Master, so you couldn’t make a move for a long time. That’s why you’re thinking of squeezing that kid in." Zhang Jiang gestured with his chin towards where the Zhang Family members were. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Wow, Zhang Yu didn’t expect Zhang Jiang to be this arrogant this time; usually, whenever the Zhang Family members came over before, Zhang Jiang would greet them with a smile.

But who would have thought that this kid could be so arrogant now? Of course, the Zhang Family had long fallen out of favor, particularly since Zhang Jiang had struck while they were down, and their relations with the Zhang Family were beyond repair.

With things as they were, it was better to make the situation even worse.

The members of the Zhang Family were originally quite dissatisfied with Zhang Yu, thinking that as an orphan, she was quite ungrateful.

But now, all their dissatisfaction turned directly towards Zhang Jiang, as in their minds, the person who tore down their Zhang Family’s dignity was this kid, Zhang Jiang.

Old Mrs. Zhang was already mentally scattered due to the eldest grandson’s debt issue and hadn’t been resting well, on top of knowing from last night that her daughter and Zhang Hai had a fallout, causing the old lady such worry that she didn’t have a good night’s rest.

Zhang Yutong marrying Zhang Hai entirely changed the fate of the Zhang Family—not only did the family’s economics improve significantly, but more importantly, the children and grandchildren’s jobs and marriages went smoothly, and the family status elevated due to Zhang Hai being a son-in-law of the Zhang Family.

Especially after Zhang He died in a car accident, Zhang Fugui took Zhang Hai by his side to give him various guidance, letting him be responsible for many projects, establishing Zhang Hai’s position as successor, and the Zhang Family instantly felt abundantly welcomed.

If Zhang Hai and Zhang Yutong divorced, could the family still be as glorious as before?

Although Zhang Yutong gave birth to a son, Zhang Yinghao, Zhang Hai is still young and will definitely remarry, potentially marrying someone of equal status, who might bear him another son, and the position of Zhang Family’s heir would be uncertain.

Zhang Fugui didn’t even give the company to his eldest son, and if one’s own grandson encountered the same situation, the Zhang Family would be utterly done for, as their child’s chance would be slim.

On the way here, she thought about keeping a low profile, at least ensuring her daughter wouldn’t divorce, and insisted on being Madam Zhang Hai, even if Zhang Hai had something going on outside, the Zhang Family wouldn’t make a fuss.

The idea was good, and once she arrived knowing Zhang Family wouldn’t let them divorce, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking as long as they didn’t divorce, then Zhang Yutong’s nephew’s debt scandal mustn’t come to light.

But unexpectedly, just as she opened her mouth, she angered the Old Master, and the direction of what happened next became so unfamiliar.

Moreover, the situation was deteriorating. Even though Zhang Fugui previously said they wouldn’t be divorced, moments ago, the Old Master already ordered the suspension of his son-in-law.

What does this mean? It means the Old Master might be regretting it, but as a person with a reputation, he wouldn’t take back his words, only letting Zhang Hai consider divorce on his own.

Old Mrs. Zhang quickly made a decision—the eldest grandson is important, but the Zhang Family doesn’t consist of just him; there are other children and grandchildren.

Most importantly, the eldest grandson who previously knelt down to beg for help to repay loans with all sorts of promises not to gamble again, just threw his promises aside without considering how much worry the family had endured to pay off his gambling debts.

The eldest son and wife of the Zhang Family saw the old lady intensely staring at their son and knew she had made a decision that wouldn’t favor their family.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang Family tightly held her husband’s hand—they had only this one son; the in-laws might give up their eldest grandson for the other children and grandchildren, but for the couple, it would be the end.

The eldest son of the Zhang Family certainly hated his son’s immaturity, for indulging in such things and making such a mess, but he knew as a father, he had to save his only son.

Zhang Jiang stared at Zhang Hai for a long time, "Indeed, he can’t access the money, but if someone were to mention the company’s investment plans to him, he could still take money."

"You haven’t forgotten that the company caught someone like that in the investment department last year, right?" Zhang Jiang startled as he abruptly turned his head toward the eldest grandson, who froze with a look of shock—he hadn’t expected anyone to find out.

Zhang Yu also turned to look at him, noticing his gaping mouth in surprise—well done, Zhang Jiang had indeed guessed right.

Zhang Hai looked at the eldest grandson, seeing his stunned expression, understanding the situation, he was filled with rage, wishing to rush over and teach him a lesson—where was the family bond? This had become enmity.
