Ellison Jiang returned home.
As soon as he walked out of the elevator, Lucas called him.
"Brother Jiang, there's news from the Carefree King. They've already sent someone to deliver the invitation to the Tang family."
"Alright," Ellison Jiang replied.
He hung up the phone and knocked on the door to enter.
Lydia Wu, Zion Tang's wife, opened the door and immediately wore a stern expression when she saw Ellison Jiang. "You worthless good-for-nothing! What are you doing back here?"
Ellison Jiang chose to ignore her and walked into the room. He looked at Camellia Tang with a smile. "Camellia, I've already arranged for the Western Frontier Army to deliver the invitation to the Tang family."
Camellia Tang wore a disbelieving expression and asked, "But that's the Western Frontier Army. How did you arrange it?"
Ellison Jiang chuckled, "Don't forget, I used to be in the military, and I know some high-ranking officers. I used my connections."
"But in your resume, you served in the Southern Wilderness. It has nothing to do with the Western Frontier," Camellia Tang countered.
Ellison Jiang replied, "True, there's no direct connection, but I had a superior officer who had some connections with a prominent figure in the Western Frontier. Anyway, it's done. Let's go to the Tang family, and you'll see for yourself."
In the room, there were also Fawn He, Izaic Tang, Zion Tang, and others.
Fawn He didn't believe Ellison Jiang and ridiculed him, "Arranging connections? You served as a soldier for ten years, but you were just a regular soldier. What connections could you possibly have? Ellison Jiang, let me warn you. Camellia is innocent, but I'm not stupid. Don't try to deceive her. Camellia, how can you trust him so blindly? Ellison Jiang is useless. He knows a bit about medicine, but he's broke, and he has no power. Why are you so devoted to him?"
Ellison Jiang was used to Fawn He's cold and mocking eyes, so he didn't say much. Instead, he held Camellia Tang's hand and said, "Camellia, let's go to the Tang family. I'll make sure to save face for you."
Izaic Tang couldn't help but ask, "Ellison Jiang, is it really true?”
Izaic Tang didn't believe that Ellison Jiang could use his connections to have the Western Frontier Army deliver an invitation to the Tang family.
After all, this event had limited spots, and many wealthy figures in the Five Major Regions were vying for invitations.
"Dad, do you really believe this useless guy?" Zion Tang sneered.
He held a deep grudge against Ellison Jiang because if it weren't for him, their family's shares wouldn't have been revoked. He had lost the opportunity to buy luxury cars and mansions because of Ellison Jiang.
Ellison Jiang ignored these people and pulled Camellia Tang away.
Fawn He also followed along.
If what Ellison Jiang said was true, then Fernan Tang would definitely be pleased, and Camellia Tang's position in the family would rise. When that happened, it wouldn't be difficult to regain their shares.
Tang's Mansion.
Fernan Tang was overjoyed.
He had always dreamed of receiving an invitation.
There were only a hundred spots for the Carefree King's succession ceremony, and many wealthy individuals from the Five Major Regions were vying for them.
Now, thanks to the help of the Liu family, they had obtained an invitation.
Fernan Tang was beaming and handed a card to John Liu. "My grandson-in-law, there are five million in the account. Just a small token of appreciation for the Liu family's help. Please don't refuse."
"Ah, Grandpa, this won't do," John Liu said, feigning refusal. However, he still accepted the card. "Grandpa, we're almost family now. In a family, we shouldn't quibble over such matters."
John Liu was extremely pleased.
The Liu family had also used connections and spent millions to obtain an invitation.
The invitation letter from the Tang family was definitely not made by the Liu family, but now Fernan Tang was offering him five million as a token of appreciation. John Liu didn't hesitate to accept it.
After all, he didn't want to let a good opportunity slip away.
"Still, the Liu family has more power."
"That's right, Taihong Pharmaceuticals of the Liu family is one of the top conglomerates in Jiang Zhong. John Liu's dad, Sonny Liu, has an extensive network and a lot of face."
"We really owe it to John Liu this time. If it weren't for him, our family would never have gotten an invitation."
"Leila has found herself a great boyfriend. He's really giving face to the Tang family."
Tang's family members started praising John Liu.
John Liu was on cloud nine. He was soaring with happiness and couldn't find north anymore. He proudly replied, "I told you, it's a small matter."
Just when everyone in the Tang family was celebrating getting the invitation, Ellison Jiang, accompanied by Camellia Tang and followed by Fawn He, Izaic Tang, Zion Tang, and Lydia Wu, walked in.
Upon seeing Camellia Tang's family, the expressions on the Tang family members' faces immediately turned dark.
Leila Tang stood up and said coldly, "What are you guys doing here?"
Camllia Tang said, "Sister Leila."
Leila Tang didn't give Camllia Tang any face, "Go away, who is your sister?"
After receiving the invitation letter, Fernan Tang was in a good mood, but when he saw Camllia Tang family, his beautiful mood was instantly ruined, especially Ellison Jiang. This guy, a mere son-in-law, didn't even respect the family's patriarch.
"Get out," Fernan Tang pointed at the door.
"Grandpa, Ellison Jiang arranged for his army buddy to have the Western Frontier Army deliver the invitation. I came here specifically to ask if our family has received the invitation," Camellia Tang said.
Fawn He, Izaic Tang, Zion Tang, and the others all looked at Fernan Tang, waiting for his response.
"Humph..." Before Fernan Tang could respond, Farad Tang let out a sarcastic laugh. "Ellison Jiang arranged for his army buddy to have the Western Frontier Army deliver the invitation? That's hilarious! It's clear that it was my brother-in-law John Liu who used his connections to have the Liu family handle it, and that's why the Western Frontier Army delivered the invitation."
"Exactly," Leila Tang, wearing a look of disdain, stared at Ellison Jiang and said, "He's just a lowly soldier. What qualifications does he have to interact with high-ranking officers from the Western Frontier Army? He's shameless. He heard that the Western Frontier Army delivered the invitation and rushed here to take credit."
Upon hearing this, Ellison Jiang's expression darkened, and he gave a cold glance to John Liu, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.
John Liu, feeling challenged, shouted, "You useless piece of trash, what are you looking at!"
"Absolutely shameless."
"Clearly, it was the Liu family's efforts that got us the invitation. This useless Ellison Jiang must have seen that the Western Frontier Army delivered the invitation and rushed here to take credit."
"Indeed, thank goodness for John Liu. Otherwise, this useless Ellison Jiang might have succeeded in his scheme."
Ellison Jiang was being criticized relentlessly by the Tang family members, who also took the opportunity to curry favor with John Liu.
Upon hearing these comments, Fawn He was furious. She raised her hand and smacked Ellison Jiang across the head, shouting, "You useless fool! You're embarrassing us! Why are you still standing here? Leave!"
Camellia Tang wore a helpless expression.
She had hoped that Ellison Jiang would give her some face and earn her Grandpa's respect.
Little did she know that Ellison Jiang, upon returning home, had seen the invitation delivered by the Western Frontier Army and taken all the credit for himself.
"Ellison Jiang, you've disappointed me so much," she said, covering her mouth, tears welling up as she ran out of the room.
"Camellia," Fawn He chased after her.
Izaic Tang and the others felt that they had lost face and quickly left.
Ellison Jiang looked at the Tang family and said with a smile, "Well, I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen someone as shameless as you. Fine... Since it was the Liu family who arranged it and the Western Frontier Army delivered the invitation, I'll be curious to see how you'll attend the ceremony tomorrow."
With that, he turned and left.
After leaving Tang's mansion, he took out his phone and called Lucas. "Notify the Carefree King that the invitation to the Tang family is now invalid."
Lucas didn't know what Ellison Jiang was up to, but he followed his instruction, he called the Carefree King and informed him about this matter.
