chapter 19 Kneel down and beg Chuchu to go home

Seeing Camellia Tang's happiness, Ellison Jiang also felt happy.
"Ellison, I can go home! I can go home!"
Camellia Tang cheered repeatedly, like a punished little girl who had received forgiveness from her family.
Ellison Jiang didn't say much; he just held her tightly.
Jayiay Tang, upon learning of Camellia Tang's whereabouts, drove to Kowloon Street.
Many members of the Tang family accompanied him, including Jayiay Tang's son Farad Tang, Farad Tang's wife Yoana Li, and Jayiay Tang's daughter Leila Tang.
Jayiay Tang had been the executive chairman of the Tang family's Yong Le Company. His car was also quite expensive, a seven-series BMW worth a million.
In the car, Farad Tang complained, "What's Granpa thinking? How can he let Camellia Tang come back? Dad, when Camellia Tang returns, you'll surely have to give up your position as the executive chairman. We can't let Camellia Tang come back!"
His wife Yoana Li chimed in, "That's right! How can Camellia Tang become the executive chairman? If she becomes one, how can our family profit from the company? Besides, how did Camellia Tang even get to know Chairman Luby Ye?"
Leila Tang added, "There are rumors going around that Camellia Tang is Chairman Luby Ye's lover."
Jayiay Tang interrupted their conversation, saying, "Alright, stop talking. Let's get Camellia Tang back first. We'll stabilize the cooperation with Qian Jun Group. This is a one-billion-dollar order, and we can make a net profit of twenty million once it's completed!"
Soon, the car arrived at the Mortal Clinic on Kowloon Street, and everyone got out.
Camellia Tang, upon hearing that Jayiay Tang was coming to pick her up personally, was ecstatic. She had already been waiting outside the door.
When she saw Jayiay Tang's car, she excitedly grabbed Ellison Jiang's hand. "It's really Uncle, it's really him, Ellison, I can go home!"
"Yeah, you can go home," Ellison Jiang said, smiling when he saw Camellia Tang's happiness.
After Jayiay Tang got out of the car, he had a radiant smile on his face. "Camellia, Grandpa asked me to pick you up."
The other members of the Tang family, however, had solemn expressions.
It was this jinx that had nearly caused the Tang family's downfall. Fortunately, luck had been on their side, or else the Tang family would have been finished.
Farad Tang arrogantly said, "Camellia Tang, my dad spoke highly of you in front of Grandpa just to bring you back. Camellia, you should kneel down and thank my dad."
"Thank you, Uncle, for speaking up for Camellia," Camellia Tang said and was about to kneel.
But Ellison Jiang stopped her with a pull.
“Ellison, what are you doing?” Camellia Tang looked at him with dissatisfaction.
Farad Tang, seeing this, became angry and said, "Ellison Jiang, when you meet the future head of the Tang family, you should kneel down. Aren't there any family rules anymore?"
"Kneel?" Ellison Jiang replied indifferently, "Does he deserve it? He said a lot of good things? If Qian Jun Group hadn't canceled its cooperation with the Tang family, would you all have come to get Camellia back? Tell Fernan Tang that Camellia won't return to the Tang family."
Camellia Tang was about to scold Ellison Jiang, but upon hearing his words, she asked, "Ellison, what's going on? Why did Qian Jun cancel its cooperation with the Tang family?"
Ellison Jiang explained, "I just saw the news. Chairman Luby Ye held a press conference and announced the cancellation of cooperation with the Tang family. Chairman Luby Ye said Qian Jun Group will only cooperate with the Tang family if Camellia is part of it. Since Camellia was expelled from the family, naturally, Qian Jun Group won't cooperate with the Tang family anymore. That's why the Tang family is in a hurry to get you back."
Upon hearing the truth of the matter, Camellia Tang's grievances welled up within her.
She had thought that her Grandpa truly loved her, but it turned out to be for this reason.
She was so aggrieved that she was on the verge of tears.
Ellison Jiang pulled Camellia Tang towards the clinic.
Seeing this, Jayiay Tang panicked and said, "Camellia, you can't refuse to go back. Your Grandpa is getting older and can't handle this kind of trouble. Do you want your Grandpa to personally come and pick you up?"
Camellia Tang's heart softened at her uncle's words. She stopped in her tracks and looked at Ellison Jiang.
Ellison Jiang knew that what Camellia Tang cared about the most was her family's opinion of her.
For the past ten years, she had been looked down upon, and she dreamt of gaining her family's recognition.
"Camellia, do you want to go back?" Ellison Jiang asked.
Camellia Tang nodded gently and said, "Yes."
Ellison Jiang looked at Jayiay Tang's family and calmly said, "Camellia can go back, but you all have to kneel down and beg Camellia to return."
“Ellison Jiang…” Farad Tang immediately became furious, his face turning red as he yelled, "You're just a dog of the Tang family. Camellia hasn't said a word, why are you making a fuss?"
Ellison Jiang calmly replied, "If you won't kneel, then let Fernan Tang come in person to request Camellia's return. Otherwise, Camellia won't go back."
Camellia Tang gently tugged on Ellison Jiang's clothes, signaling him to say less. After all, they were family, and she didn't want to make the situation too tense.
"Camellia, you're too soft-hearted. They are the ones begging you to come back now, not the other way around. If you have any requests, feel free to speak up; they will agree," Ellison Jiang said.
"Is that... is that true?" Camellia Tang asked.
"Of course. Where did your shrewdness from the past few days go? Qian Jun Group canceled its cooperation with Yong Le, which was a loss for the Tang family. They can't afford to lose you. Think about it; what do you want?" Ellison Jiang explained.
Camellia Tang finally realized.
Over the past few days, she had been confused, but now that Ellison Jiang explained it, she understood.
Her father had been looked down upon by the family for years, despite being a manager in the company. He didn't even have any shares.
This had led to countless arguments between her parents.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "I can go back, but tell Grandpa to give my father a ten percent share in Yong Le Company. I'll go back if they agree. If not, I won't go back. And he has to kneel."
Camellia Tang pointed at Farad Tang.
Over the years, she had endured Farad Tang's bullying and troubles. Even at family gatherings, he would often criticize her father.
"What?" Farad Tang's eyes widened in shock.
"Smack!"
Jayiay Tang slapped Farad Tang on the head and angrily said, "Aren't you kneeling down to apologize to Camellia?"
"Dad, are you out of your mind? You want me to kneel to her?" Farad Tang shouted.
Jayiay Tang slapped him again and whispered while giving him meaningful looks, "Kneel down. Do you want the family to give Izaic Tang ten percent of the shares?"
Farad Tang understood and quickly knelt down with a mournful face. "Camellia, I was wrong. I promise I won't say anything bad about you again. Please, come back. In a few days, it'll be Grandpa's 80th birthday. Can't we have a family reunion?"
Camellia Tang hadn't spoken yet, but Ellison Jiang interjected, "No, Camellia has already said that she'll go back if they agree to give the shares. If not, she won't. Lucas, close the door; we're not open for business today."
With that, he pulled Camellia Tang into the clinic, and Lucas came over to close the clinic's shutters.
Inside the clinic, Camellia Tang had a worried expression. "Ellison, will Grandpa really give shares to my father?"
Ellison Jiang assured her, "As long as you don't go back, Grandpa will. You can't be soft-hearted this time."
Upon hearing this, Camellia Tang smiled with relief.
"This way, my mother won't look down on my father anymore, and his position in the family will rise. Ellison, thank you."
Ellison Jiang cupped her face and said, "Why are you thanking me? This has nothing to do with me. If you want to thank someone, thank Chairman Luby Ye."
Camellia Tang looked puzzled.
She didn't know Chairman Luby Ye of Qian Jun Group, but why would he be so good to her?
