After a moment of silence, Zhang Baochan continued speaking, her expression turning serious.

“The old man is nearing retirement, and your brother-in-law is undoubtedly going to be the next chairman. However, the old man has yet to announce his choice for the President. Naturally, your brother-in-law is advocating for Jiang Yun, but the old man favors Jiang Yu.”

“Sister, don’t worry. Jiang Yun will become the President of the Jiang Corporation. I have already discussed matters with my brother-in-law regarding the board of directors.”

Zhang Baochan’s brow remained furrowed.

Even though the old man was retiring, he still held the final say in all matters concerning the Jiang family.

That’s why she resorted to unscrupulous methods to make the old man detest Jiang Yu’s choice of a wife, aiming to create a rift between the old man and Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu had been groomed by the old master and held considerable power. If they couldn’t get rid of him, he might end up driving them out of the Jiang family.

“Baoshan, we must not underestimate Jiang Yu. While the old master hasn’t made any pronouncements, the board of directors can change their minds at any time. That wrench is merely a tool to control Jiang Yu, so we shall begin with her.”

“Sister, I know what to do.”

“It’s getting late. I should return. Take care.”

Zhang Baoshan nodded thoughtfully.

A plan had taken shape in her mind.

…

Jin Xue had read media reports stating that the underground parking lot of Beverly Hills could accommodate up to 60 private cars, all of them luxurious models. Additionally, there was a dedicated butler responsible for maintaining and driving these luxury vehicles.

Now, Jin Xue believed those reports to be true.

She had been strolling through the garden of Beverly Hills for quite some time, yet she had only explored a fraction of its vastness. There were still many areas she had not yet seen.

The Jiang family was undeniably wealthy. They held the title of the city’s wealthiest family and were not to be trifled with.

Having calmed down, Jin Xue made her way back to the main house.

Her mother-in-law had already returned, and there was a handsome man in the living room whose cold demeanor mirrored Jiang Yu.

He must be her father-in-law.

Jin Xue took a few glances and realized that her father-in-law didn’t hold a favorable opinion of her either.

Since entering the house, her father-in-law hadn’t looked at her directly once.

A crafty glint appeared in Jin Xue’s eyes, and a smile crept onto her lips as she spoke gently, “Father, Mother!”

Jin Xue even knelt down to offer tea to Jiang Yu’s grandfather, father, and mother.

The old man remained silent and drank the tea offered by Jin Xue first.

Jiang Heng and Zhang Baochan also were offered tea.

Jin Xue covertly observed her father-in-law, her almond-shaped eyes gleaming with sharpness. His attitude seemed to have changed upon seeing her again. She wasn’t sure what Jiang Yu had discussed with him, but he appeared more at ease now.

Jiang Cong narrowed his eyes and looked at Jin Xue. “Rise.”

Jin Xue stood up, and the butler standing beside the old man opened a gift box, revealing a dazzling diamond necklace for Jin Xue to wear.

Jiang Cong spoke, “This is a welcoming gift for you. Upon entering the Jiang family, you must adhere to our rules. You are not to contradict your elders. Remember your words and actions. Fulfill your duties and do not bring embarrassment to the Jiang family.”

Jin Xue nodded solemnly. “Thank you, Grandfather. I understand.”

Then, Zhang Baochan instructed a servant next to her to put a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets on Jin Xue.

Old Master Jiang did not give Jin Xue a hard time, much to her surprise. He didn’t kick her out either.

When she had made the phone call to report, the old man had been visibly angry. His current attitude shouldn’t be like this.

Jin Xue glared coldly at her mother-in-law, her almond-shaped eyes filled with provocation.

She also cast a glance at Jiang Yu. His handsome face remained unruffled, his emotions inscrutable.

…

Jin Xue hadn’t seen Second Young Master Jiang. She heard he was away on a business trip.

Just as she and Jiang Yu were about to leave, her mother-in-law handed her a pack of Chinese medicine.

“Jin Xue, remember to drink this. One packet every morning and night.”
