Ellison Jiang also didn't expect that one day he would stoop to the point of being someone else's driver.
However, he felt that Fawn He's actions were quite satisfying.
He drove the car into the military district again, going in and out several times.
This infuriated the Tang family members, who had faces ashen with anger.
On the other hand, the other wealthy individuals in the queue were simply enjoying the show.
Adam Huo was also helpless.
The dignified Black Dragon was behaving like an inexperienced small-timer. His actions, if they were to be known in the capital, would be extremely embarrassing.
But Ellison Jiang thought it was great!
His current life was indeed peaceful and carefree.
After driving out of the military district again and preparing to turn in once more, Camellia Tang reminded him, "Ellison, that's enough. You've delayed their invitation letter inspection."
Ellison Jiang turned around and looked at Fawn He, smiling, "Mom, did you enjoy that?"
"Haha, I did! I feel so delighted!" Fawn He couldn't stop smiling.
This was the most triumphant moment she had experienced in decades.
The wealthy individuals from the five major districts were all looking at her, and she felt very proud.
"Alright," Ellison Jiang said, "If that's the case, I'll return the car. This isn't even my car."
Hearing this, Fawn He's smile froze, but she thought about how Ellison Jiang had lent her the car to save face, so she refrained from making any sarcastic remarks and said, "Okay, let's go back."
"Alright."
Ellison Jiang drove away, leaving under the gaze of the Tang family members and the wealthy individuals from the five major districts.
He was the first to drop off Camellia Tang and Fawn He at home, then he parked the car at the Imperial Residence. After that, he took a taxi to the Tang family.
Before he even entered the house, he heard Fawn He's laughter from inside.
"Haha, it's so funny! You should've seen the faces of the Tang family members, they looked like pig livers. It was hilarious!"
"Mom, has Ellison Jiang gone crazy? Are you also losing your mind?" Zion Tang said angrily, "How can you dare to speak ill of Grandpa? We finally got a share of the family assets. Grandpa must be angry now, and he'll definitely take back the remaining shares later."
"If he wants to take them back, let him," Fawn He said indifferently. "Your grandfather never liked your Dad anyway. He thought he was useless and never paid any attention to him. Besides, with Jayiay Tang's family whispering in his ear, it's only a matter of time before he takes back the shares."
Fawn He knew very well what kind of people the Tang family members were.
"Mom, come on, it's money we're talking about here. Don't be so hardheaded about it!" Lydia Wu also expressed her dissatisfaction. It was almost the end of the month, and the family's dividends were coming up. Even if it was only five percent, it would still amount to a significant sum.
Now it was all gone.
The door wasn't closed, and Ellison Jiang walked in.
"Son-in-law, you're back. Come, have a seat..." Fawn He greeted him warmly. She had already come to terms with the situation. Without the shares, she still had some money. She planned to open a clinic for Ellison Jiang. With Ellison Jiang's medical skills, they can also make a living.
Zion Tang and Lydia Wu had stern faces, their eyes almost spewing fire.
"Ellison," Camellia Tang also got up and slightly shifted her body, making room for Ellison Jiang.
"Son-in-law, I've thought it over. I still have over two million in my hands. It's the money Camellia gave me last time. Let's open a clinic or a pharmacy ourselves. We can make a living instead of bowing down to the Tang family. And you, Izaic Tang, don't go to work at Tang family's Yong Le Company anymore. I don't believe that leaving the Tang family will leave us starving."
Ellison Jiang looked at Fawn He for a moment.
He used to look down on his mother-in-law, thinking she was too focused on power and money.
But now, it seemed that life had forced her into this situation.
Ellison Jiang nodded and said, "Opening a clinic sounds like a good idea. However, let's wait a while. I heard that the Jiang Zhong Commercial Center is about to start soliciting businesses. When the time comes, we can open our clinic in the newly built Jiang Zhong Commercial Center."
“Slap!”
Fawn He raised her hand and slapped Ellison Jiang on the forehead, scolding him, "Do you even know what that place is? It's a high-end venue, meant to become the most prosperous financial center in the country. And you have the audacity to think about opening a clinic there? Not to mention the astronomical fees just for entering."
Ellison Jiang innocently touched his head.
Entrance fees?
He was about to buy the entire Commercial Center. Who would dare to ask him for entrance fees?
However, he wisely kept his mouth shut.
If he told the Tang family that he planned to buy the Commercial Center, they would surely think he was a fool.
Zion Tang, upon hearing that Fawn He was going to give money to Ellison Jiang to open a clinic, immediately became anxious. He hurriedly said, "Mom, you can't do this. Investing money in this useless guy will only be a waste. You promised to give me money to buy a car. How can you go back on your word?"
"Mom, it's almost our wedding anniversary. You promised to buy me a dress," Lydia Wu chimed in.
"That's enough," Fawn He scolded, "No money, no pretending to be rich. What car are you talking about? What dress? How much money do you have in your pockets? Have you ever considered that? Besides, this money originally belonged to Camellia."
"Mom, you're showing favoritism. I'm your son, and he's just your son-in-law," Zion Tang complained.
Fawn He raised her hand and slapped Zion Tang on the forehead, scolding, "Look at Farad Tang. He's already a department manager at Yong Le Company. Look at Kayven Tang’s family, Yoel Tang is not working at Yong Le Company but has his own processing factory, with an annual income of over ten million. Now look at yourself, what have you accomplished?"
Zion Tang dared not utter a word in response to being scolded. He could only glare at Ellison Jiang with resentment in his eyes.
Camellia Tang smiled without saying a word.
She was delighted that her mother had acknowledged Ellison Jiang.
Lydia Wu gently pulled Zion Tang and gave him a meaningful look. Then she apologized, "Mom, we were wrong. We won't change the car or buy the dress."
Knock, knock, knock!
At that moment, a knocking sound came from the door.
Fawn He, sitting on the sofa, glanced at Zion Tang and scolded, "What are you waiting for? Go and open the door!"
"Okay!"
Zion Tang immediately got up and went to open the door.
Standing at the door were several people, none other than Fernan Tang, Jayiay Tang, Kayven Tang, and some other important members of the Tang family.
They also held gifts in their hands.
Jayiay Tang smiled and asked, "Zion, is your dad and mom at home?"
Inside the house, Fawn He's voice could be heard, "Zion, who is it?"
Zion Tang turned around and replied, "Mom, it's Grandpa, Uncles, and the others."
Upon hearing this, Fawn He stood up and walked over. She looked at the people outside the door and said sarcastically, "Oh, what a rare visit. I've owned this house for many years, and this is the first time you've come, right? My small temple can't accommodate you big Buddhas."
With that, she pointed outside and said, "Get out."
"Fawn, don't be like this. Dad came here to apologize," Jayiay Tang promptly said. "Look, Dad is getting old, and he personally came to apologize. How can you not let him in? If this gets out, people will criticize you for being unfilial."
"Let them criticize," Fawn He retorted haughtily. "These years, haven't outsiders criticized my family less?"
"What, you're trying to cozy up to Ellison Jiang because you know he has a big background? Well, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. He's just a soldier who came back, and he's still a small soldier. Even though his boss is powerful and knows the Western Frontier General, he can't borrow a car from him a second time."
Fernan Tang's visit was undoubtedly due to Ellison Jiang, and Fawn He was well aware of it.
Even though Fernan Tang was an elder, she didn't give him any face at all.
