You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Jiang Yueyao's face turned pale and then red, and she was so angry that she was convulsing.

Where in her life has she ever suffered such injustice?

Outside, when people know her surname is Jiang, everyone treats her with utmost respect.

But now, Jiang Che has actually torn away her last shred of dignity in front of the whole family.

And her grandparents indulged her like this, never saying a word in her defense!

On what grounds?

Why is everyone protecting Su Qinghe just because she's here?

Why should I, a member of the Jiang family, be trampled underfoot by an outsider?

Zhou Yazhi was also so angry that her chest heaved. Pointing at Jiang Che, she angrily questioned, "Jiang Che, no matter what, you are Yueyao's brother. How can you humiliate your own sister like this?"

"Sister?" Jiang Che sneered. "When she was being sarcastic and sarcastic towards my girlfriend just now, did she ever think that I was her brother?"

"Zhou Yazhi, don't play the victim with me."

"From the moment you two entered the door, every word you uttered became more and more offensive, and you trampled on Qinghe step by step."

"Now that you can't step on it anymore, you start to feel wronged after I scolded you a couple of times?"

"You think you can use your power to intimidate her? You don't even know if you can handle it."

"Her biological mother is Ye Yunjin, the eldest daughter of the Ye family in Gangcheng."

"In terms of family background and social standing, the Ye family would be considered a top-tier wealthy family even in Hong Kong."

"Jiang Yueyao, didn't you like talking about your background just now?"

Jiang Che stared at her with a half-smile, asking each word clearly, "Is the identity of the eldest daughter of the Ye family sufficient?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueyao involuntarily opened her mouth wide, unable to utter a sound for a long time.

Ye family?

Ye Yunjin?

Even if she was ignorant and incompetent, she was still the daughter of the Jiang family, and naturally she had heard of the Ye family of Hong Kong.

That's someone who can rival the top circles in Beijing.

She was just mocking Su Qinghe for her social standing.

As a result, when the other person turned around, the background made her feel suffocated.

Jiang Yueyao's mind was in complete turmoil.

impossible……

How could a wild girl from Lincheng possibly have any connection with the Ye family?

The fact that Jiang Che dared to say this in front of his grandparents meant that this matter was by no means unfounded.

Jiang Che didn't look at Jiang Yueyao anymore, but turned his gaze to Zhou Yazhi and Jiang Dahe: "I don't plan to bring up the fact that her mother is Ye Yunjin at the dinner table."

"Because in my eyes, Su Qinghe is Su Qinghe. She doesn't need to rely on anyone's name to elevate her status."

"But you guys seem to care a lot about this."

"Then I'll satisfy your curiosity."

He sat back down in his chair, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and resumed his usual lazy and composed demeanor: "I thought that my second uncle and aunt were worldly people, and it was one thing for them to secretly do something underhanded in business, but they would never have such crooked thoughts about us younger generation."

"But it turns out I was wrong. I underestimated you. My mistake."

That's enough.

Jiang Zhenshan, who had been silent all along, stopped him in a deep voice.

When Jiang Che saw that his grandfather had spoken, he shrugged and didn't say anything more, then lazily leaned back in his chair to rest.

The old man glanced at Jiang Dahe's family and said, "I called you here today to welcome Xiao Che and Qing He, not for you to point fingers at them."

"Eat properly if you want to eat. If you don't want to eat, you can leave. I won't stop you."

When Jiang Dahe saw that his father was angry, he knew that Zhou Yazhi and Jiang Yueyao had gone a bit too far today.

He glared at the mother and daughter, then quickly turned to the old man with a smile, "Dad, don't be angry. The children were just bickering. I'll give Yueyao a good talking-to when we get back."

"quarrel?"

Jiang Zhenshan looked at him indifferently and snorted coldly, "Dahe, you are also a father. You are responsible for the younger generation in your family speaking without tact."

"If you can't teach this daughter, then don't. Look at the state she's become! She's completely lawless!"

As Jiang Dahe listened to the old man's stern criticism, his face grew increasingly grim, but he dared not utter a single word of rebuttal and could only nod repeatedly.

As the meal progressed, the atmosphere naturally lost its initial warmth.

Jiang Dahe and his family had no appetite.

Jiang Che, on the other hand, was not affected at all. He continued to serve Su Qinghe food and coax her to drink soup.

After the family dinner ended, Jiang Zhenshan put down his teacup and glanced at Jiang Che.

"Xiao Che, come with me to the study."

Jiang Che nodded in agreement, and before leaving, he whispered in Su Qinghe's ear, "You sit with Grandma and the others for a while, I'll be back soon."

Su Qinghe obediently hummed in agreement.

Jiang Che got up and quickly caught up with Jiang Zhenshan, and they entered the study one after the other.

After closing the door, Jiang Zhenshan slowly walked to the desk, stood there, and looked out the window with his hands behind his back.

Jiang Che stopped in front of the desk.

"grandfather."

Jiang Zhenshan hummed in agreement, and after admiring the scenery for a while, he turned around and sat down in the chair.

He also waved to Jiang Che, indicating that he should sit down as well.

After they both sat down, Jiang Zhenshan stared at him for a moment, then asked calmly, "Did you have a good scolding tonight?"

When his grandfather brought up what had just happened, Jiang Che was a little unsure of his attitude, so he could only touch his nose and say ambiguously, "Well, it was alright."

He was already prepared to be scolded before he even entered the room.

After all, he had scolded his second uncle's family in front of his grandparents. After all, his second uncle was their own son, their own second uncle.

But Jiang Che, despite being reprimanded, would never admit his mistake.

Every word he said made sense. This whole thing was Jiang Dahe's family going too far. Even if it happened again, he would still choose to protect Su Qinghe without hesitation.

"good?"

Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Zhenshan snorted, "You're quite modest, but I don't think you're this modest when you're cursing. When you get angry, you'll say anything."

Jiang Che gave an awkward smile: "Well, I was just angry."

"Alright, stop joking around with me."

"I called you here not to pursue the matter of you swearing. The Jiang family did go too far tonight. Yueyao didn't know how to speak properly. You were right to protect Qinghe."

Jiang Che was stunned for a moment.

He thought his grandfather would at least say something like, "After all, he's an elder."

Jiang Zhenshan seemed to see through his thoughts and added casually, "Elders should also act like elders."

"Your second aunt and Yueyao's behavior tonight was witnessed by both your grandmother and me. Even if you don't scold them, I will."

These words warmed Jiang Che's heart.

Although the old man usually seemed careless and indifferent to everything, he actually saw things very clearly.

The Jiang family has been able to steadily reach where it is today thanks to the old man's unwavering integrity and ability to distinguish right from wrong.

"Let's get down to business."

Jiang Zhenshan changed the subject and asked, "I heard from your dad that you applied to Peking University for economics and management this time?"

"Um."

Why did you choose business administration?
