Under the watchful gaze of many onlookers, Ellison Jiang drove into the military district.
Meanwhile, the Tang family members were filled with regret.
They had just been mocking Ellison Jiang, but in the blink of an eye, he had driven inside. What was even more important was that the vice-commander at the military district gate had shown him a lot of respect.
Could it be that Ellison Jiang was a big shot?
Inside the military district, Ellison Jiang drove the car while turning to look at Camellia Tang, smiling as he asked, "Camellia, I didn't deceive you, did I?"
"Ellison, you have to be honest with me. Who are you really?" Camellia Tang looked at Ellison Jiang, feeling skeptical once again.
Ever since she had met Ellison Jiang, many unusual things had happened.
The first time was when Ellison Jiang had healed her scars.
The second time was when someone as influential as Luby Ye personally received her.
The third time was when the owner of Flavorful Delights Eatery, Luke Gu, had given her a diamond membership card.
Today marked the fourth time.
All of these events were quite extraordinary.
Ellison Jiang explained, "I'm just a soldier. I've been in the military for ten years, so I know some generals. It's not strange, right? Besides, I told you, this car has a significant background. The Western Frontier Army wouldn't dare to stop it. That vice-commander probably thought the people inside the car were important figures, and he assumed I was the driver of a big shot!"
Fawn He didn't think too much about it.
In her eyes, Ellison Jiang was just a soldier, and he neither had much money nor power.
She was only thinking about how impressive Ellison Jiang's actions were this time.
At this moment, a group of fully armed soldiers approached. When these soldiers saw Ellison Jiang's car, they stood aside and saluted, keeping their eyes on the car until it left. Only then did the soldiers march away in formation.
"Haha, so prestigious!" Fawn He laughed so much that her mouth couldn't close. She asked, "Good son-in-law, can I get out of the car to take a few pictures?"
Ellison Jiang promptly said, "Better not. It's best to stay in the car; otherwise, you'll definitely be thrown out if you step out."
Hearing this, Fawn He dropped the idea.
Ellison Jiang continued driving towards the venue.
Inside the military district, a stage had been set up, and the area below the stage was filled with seats, occupied by many high-ranking military personnel in military uniforms.
Ellison Jiang reminded them, "Camellia, Mom, let's stay in the car. If we get out, we'll definitely be thrown out. Just stay here, and remember, Mom, don't take any photos. These are all real big shots. If your photos get out, it could be a serious offense."
"In that case, why bother? Let's go back and watch TV!" Fawn He suddenly lost interest.
She had initially planned to take some pictures and share them with her friends to show off.
However, since Ellison Jiang said no photos were allowed, she lost interest.
Camellia Tang was still interested, as this location allowed her to see the stage directly from the side. She could witness the entire Carefree King's succession ceremony from here.
"Son-in-law, drive the car out. I want to flaunt it in front of the Tang family!" Fawn He spoke up. Over the years, she had been mistreated by the Tang family since marrying into it, especially since Izaic Tang was spineless and couldn't stand up for her or fight back against the family's disdain.
She had had enough.
Ellison Jiang looked at Camellia Tang and asked, "Camellia, do you want to watch it?"
Camellia Tang replied, "Mom wants to go back, so let's go back. The ceremony hasn't started yet. We can still watch the live broadcast on TV."
"Alright!"
Ellison Jiang started the car, turned around, and drove out.
They were now beginning to verify the invitations, and many wealthy individuals were queuing up to enter.
At this moment, Ellison Jiang's car once again drove out.
"Son-in-law, honk the horn to attract attention."
"Honk~"
Ellison Jiang immediately honked the horn.
A hush fell over the military district's entrance, and no one dared to speak.
However, when the horn sounded, it drew the attention of many people, and everyone looked up.
Their expressions changed dramatically.
Why did he come out again?
The soldiers and vice-commander at the entrance straightened their bodies and saluted.
"Good day, sir!"
Their voices were loud and clear!
Fawn He lowered the car window, revealing her head. Her face was filled with excitement and pride that she couldn't hide.
As the car approached, the wealthy individuals in the queue made way.
Fawn He even stuck her head out and waved to the soldiers on both sides, saying, "Comrades, thank you for your hard work."
Her expression and attitude made her seem like an officer.
The car left the military district and stopped in front of the Tang family members waiting at the entrance. Fawn He opened the door and got out.
She held her head high, radiating pride.
With a bright smile on her face, she called out, "Dad, let's go back. I took a stroll inside, but there's nothing interesting to see."
The Tang family members looked grim, their faces dark and silent.
They knew that Fawn He was showing off.
Fawn He glanced at Leila Tang beside her but didn't see John Liu. She then spoke sarcastically, "Leila, where's your boyfriend? The young master of the Lui family, right? He didn't come out to handle this, did he? Was the invitation letter fake? And that young master from the Lui family, he's not even half as capable as my useless son-in-law."
Leila Tang's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth, not knowing how to respond.
Seeing Leila Tang gritting her teeth, Fawn He felt triumphant.
She had let Leila Tang enjoy her moment of glory, snatching the credit from her son-in-law, and now Leila was being embarrassed.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Your complexion doesn't look good. Come, get into my son-in-law's Wuling Hongguang and rest for a moment. However, there's no air conditioning in the car, and it's such a hot day. I wonder if you can endure it?"
"That's enough!" Jayiay Tang stepped forward and snapped, "Fawn He, what do you mean by this? Are you adding insult to injury?"
Fawn He put her hands on her hips, pointed at Jayiay Tang, and scolded, "What are you shouting for? Just because you're the eldest son, control the family's power, and live in a villa, you look down on us. Just because you and Dad live together, you gossip and spread rumors. The invitation letter was obviously obtained through my son-in-law's connections, but you took credit for it yourselves. You even scolded Camellia and our family.”
Fawn He had been harboring a lot of resentment for a long time.
"Ellison Jiang is indeed just a soldier who returned home. He has no money or power, but so what? He's a soldier, he has comrades, and he has superiors. I'll tell you the truth. It was because you took credit for Ellison Jiang's achievements that he got angry and called his superior, using connections to inform the Western Frontier Army to invalidate the Tang family's invitation letter."
She felt much better after saying all this.
At this point, she didn't care if Fernan Tang was angry and took back the remaining shares.
She knew the Tang family too well. With them around, Izaic Tang's shares would not last long and would soon be taken back.
The Tang family members were rendered speechless, unable to respond.
It was only now that Fernan Tang realized that everything Ellison Jiang had said was true. He really could obtain an invitation letter, and he really did.
"I'm so confused, so confused…" Fernan Tang slapped his forehead in regret.
Leila Tang quickly walked over, supported Fernan Tang, and comforted him, "Grandpa, don't be angry. Don't listen to her nonsense."
"That's right," Farad Tang added. "The invitation letter was originally obtained through the Lui family's efforts. It was because we were too high-profile that we attracted displeasure from above."
"Fawn He is just trying to sow discord."
"She's just unhappy about her shares being taken back."
Tang family members criticized Fawn He one after another.
"Fawn He, you've gone too far. Apologize to Dad right now."
Fawn He put her hands on her hips, looking disdainful. "Apologize? He has already expelled our entire family from the Tang family. We're no longer part of the Tang family. What do I need to apologize for? I'll tell you, I don't want those shares anymore. If you want to take them back, take them back. Leaving the Tang family, I can still live a good life!"
She had endured enough over the years.
Now she had decided to let it all out. She didn't care about Fernan Tang, who was obsessed with his image and somewhat muddled.
After saying that, she got back into the car and instructed, "Son-in-law, drive into the military district again for a few more rounds. Let Fernan Tang regret expelling our family from the Tang family!"
