The Mad Heiress Played Innocent, and the Third Master Fell Hard - Chapter 47

Gu Yingwei was still a little confused. “No…no.”

All she could think about was the news of the cooperation deal.

Yu Guiwan probably didn’t know just how important this news was to the Gu family.

She had previously apologized to Yu Guiwan, hoping that the Jiang family would not blame the Gu family because of her mistake alone.

And now, Master Jiang has actually given them the cooperation agreement?!

She was still somewhat incredulous.

Gu Jinyu looked at his bewildered sister, sighed, and said, “The Jiang family representative told us that this is a thank-you gift for you, to thank you for helping Madam Jiang the other day.”

“But I didn’t help at all,” Gu Yingwei murmured.

She only accompanied Yu Guiwan to choose a belt, and Jiang Yuhuai gave them such a generous thank-you gift?

“In any case, if you have the chance, stay by Madam Jiang’s side and repay her properly,” Gu Jinyu said.

The thank-you gift alone represents a collaboration worth nearly 100 million.

The Gu family isn’t short of money.

But this is a collaboration with the Jiang family.

The connections and resources behind it…

This means that in the future, the vast majority of families in the capital will extend olive branches to them.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yingwei nodded quickly, “I understand.”

Now, she would be willing to sell herself to Yu Guiwan.

Of course, she could probably guess that if Yu Guiwan knew what she was thinking, she would probably look disgusted.

…

Yu Guiwan truly had no idea what Jiang Yuhuai had done.

She was enjoying a rare period of peace and quiet, undisturbed by anyone.

However, compared to the tranquility of Danyuan.

The Jiang family’s old house has been turned upside down.

“Dad, take a look for yourself.” Jiang Jingyan suppressed his anger and placed the documents on the table. “This is the Jiang Group president you chose. For a woman and a thank-you gift, he has entered into a cooperation deal worth hundreds of millions.”

The atmosphere in the study was serious.

A faint scent of incense lingered in the air.

Grandpa Jiang sat behind his desk, looking down at the cooperation proposal documents on the table.

“What are you trying to say? Do you think Ah Huai isn’t qualified to be the president of Jiang’s Group? Or are you trying to tell me why this cooperation deal, which originally belonged to the Ji family, was given to the Gu family?”

Jiang Jingyan’s expression darkened. “Dad, the Ji family has always cooperated with the Jiang family. The previous collaborations were all very pleasant. Why should we just give the cooperation project to the Gu family, with whom we’ve never cooperated before, just because of Jiang Yuhuai?”

The Ji family is the only family force that supports him behind the scenes.

If he wants to take the position of family head, he will naturally need the help of the Ji family.

But who could have imagined that Jiang Yuhuai would suddenly deliver a blow to his head?

For the Ji family, the cooperation deal was not the most important thing.

Rather, it’s the Jiang family’s connections and resources that are most important.

Now that the cooperation agreement has been lost, it means that the various resources that the Ji family previously obtained through the cooperation agreement may also be lost.

This is a heavy blow to the Ji family.

Ji Junning received a message from her family early in the morning, which shocked her.

She had no choice but to appease the Ji family and then have her husband go to see Old Master Jiang to see if they could get the cooperation agreement back.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to the Ji family.

Looking at his eldest son, a hint of disappointment flashed across Old Master Jiang’s deeply lined face. “You think Ah Huai made a mistake, right? Then why don’t you dare go to him and ask him why he gave the cooperation agreement to the Gu family instead of the Ji family like before?”

Jiang Jingyan was speechless for a moment.

He really didn’t dare to go to Jiang Yuhuai.

Because he knew that no matter what, Jiang Yuhuai could find an excuse to fob him off.

Seeing that he still didn’t understand, Old Master Jiang became even more disappointed. “Do you know how many resources our Jiang family has to contribute to the cooperation with the Ji family?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyan opened his mouth, as if to explain something.

Grandpa Jiang handed him another document.

“These are all data sheets showing the benefits the Ji family gained from the first cooperation deal with the Jiang family.” His face was expressionless. “The Ji family’s cooperation with the Jiang family was indeed without fault or wrongdoing, but it also brought no merit. On the contrary, we obtained a lot of resources from the Jiang family. Otherwise, do you think the Ji family could have obtained so many resources with its capabilities?”

Jiang Jingyan hadn’t expected that Old Master Jiang had already calculated all the benefits the Ji family would gain from the Jiang family.

But he knew nothing about it.

“But the Ji family is also my in-laws, they’re all family. The Jiang family doesn’t care about these resources at all, so why can’t they help their own people?”

Old Master Jiang’s gaze sharpened. “So, are you helping your own people, or are you helping yourself?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyan’s expression changed. “Dad, I…”

“I don’t mind healthy competition among you brothers. The final position of the Jiang family head should be handed over to the person who can truly make the Jiang family continue to flourish.”

“But on the premise that I don’t want to see brothers killing each other or deceiving each other.”

Grandpa Jiang chuckled softly, “Ah Yan, do you think only I know what you’re thinking?”

Jiang Yuhuai also knew.

He knew it perfectly well.

He simply disdained to argue with them.

Otherwise, given Jiang Yuhuai’s abilities, even ten Jiang Jingyans and Jiang Yao’an combined wouldn’t be a match for him.

Finally, Jiang Jingyan left the study, looking utterly dejected.

Ji Junning, who was waiting for news outside the study, quickly went to meet him and helped him up.

“Honey, how did it go? Did you get the case back?”

Jiang Jingyan looked up at her and shook his head.

He didn’t say a word.

Ji Junning’s expression darkened. “Dad is showing favoritism.”

She never expected that Old Master Jiang would actually disregard their marriage relationship.

The Ji family is closer to the Gu family and the Jiang family, no matter what.

Why should we give it to a company like Gujia, with whom we’ve never worked before?

Moreover, in Ji Junning’s view, the Gu family is very likely to become an obstacle for the Ji family.

The stronger the Gu family becomes, the less chance the Ji family will have to advance.

How could she allow this to happen?

…

at the same time.

In the study.

Grandpa Jiang lowered his eyes, looking at the ring on his hand with a complicated expression.

“Butler, do you really think there’s no chance for Ah Huai to stay in the Jiang family?”

In his heart, Jiang Yuhuai was the best and most suitable heir of the Jiang family.

If he could, he really hoped that the Jiang family could be handed over to him.

The butler made him a cup of tea and placed it on the table.

The tone was respectful.

“Master, you know yourself that if the Third Young Master had the chance, he would absolutely not stay in the Jiang family.”

The steam from the tea rose slowly, blurring the view.

Old Master Jiang’s voice was dark and ambiguous, “So, she is too, right?”

The butler did not answer his question.

A sigh echoed from the study
