YM778.TV Chapter 573: 573: Don't You Know Your Own Status at Home?
An Nuonuo was making wontons in the kitchen.
Jiang Shan and Chen Yue were coming over in the afternoon.
Chen Yue had been pregnant for about four to five months now.
Jiang Xu’s intention was to bring their parents over to stay nearby as well, to have someone to look after them.
After all, Jiang Xu had bought the surrounding villas, so they could live in any one they preferred.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xu was sitting in the living room, looking at the detailed information about the chairman, vice-chairman, and other leaders of the Elite Club provided by Su Cheng.
Vice-chairman Mei Youdiao, chairman of Dashun Group, with a fortune of over three hundred billion, fifty years old this year, one son and one daughter studying abroad…
Chairman Mei Jibo, chairman of Yangshu Group, with a fortune of over five hundred billion, fifty-five years old this year, two sons working in important positions within the group.
These two individuals were real brothers.
Together, they had a fortune of over eight hundred billion.
And that was just what was public.
Hidden wealth, likely over a trillion, could be added to that figure.
Moreover, behind them was an even more terrifying family.
The Mei Family!
Information about the Mei Family was scarce.
But what was known was that they were like a giant shark hiding in the deep sea.
On normal days, they wouldn’t appear in the public eye.
Only those at the same level were qualified to meet them.
Another point was that the Elite Club was founded by the previous generation’s head of the Mei Family.
Among its members, over half were from the Mei Family.
Don’t be fooled by the so-called city-level tycoons, provincial tycoons, or even national tycoons that seem very impressive.
In reality, all of this is just what’s visible on the surface.
The real predators and sharks are all lurking in the depths of the sea.
Often, you may be devoured and not even know who did it.
If it hadn’t been for Jiang Xu gaining some experience, it would have been difficult to obtain this information.
“So…” Jiang Xu stroked his chin and started contemplating, “The Mei Family has set their sights on me?
And they plan to use Nuonuo to indirectly absorb or even control me?”
“No, it can’t be that simple!”
Jiang Xu quickly dismissed this idea.
Times had changed.
The Jiang Xu of today was protected by many amulets, and his own industries, aside from the chip ones, had also achieved a closed loop.
Targeting him would require a heavy price.
The gains would hardly be proportional to the costs.
Instead of going after him, it would be wiser and potentially more successful and hassle-free to target someone bigger.
Moreover, Jiang Xu was recognized by SZ.
After considering all this, Jiang Xu soon came to a conclusion.
The true aim of the Mei Family was not to absorb his assets.
But…
His gaze turned toward the kitchen.
His eyes flickered with an uncertain glint.
With utmost care, Su Cheng asked, “Boss, what should we do next?”
She felt a terrifying aura emanating from Jiang Xu at that moment.
Goosebumps rose all over her body.
He was like a wounded wild wolf.
“Increase the security for the villa, but keep it discreet, and also…” Jiang Xu paused before continuing, “purchase another batch of top-notch security systems.”
Su Cheng nodded.
After she left, Jiang Xu called Liu Dahai, “Dahai, I need you to work some overtime recently…”
More than an hour later, Jiang Shan and Chen Yue arrived.
“Uncle, Auntie.” An Nuonuo went out to greet them.
“Nuonuo, it’s been a long time.”
“Ah, Auntie has missed you so much.”
Upon seeing her, Chen Yue grabbed An Nuonuo’s hands, beaming with joy.
Thanks to a plethora of good things to replenish her health, Chen Yue had been getting younger and younger.
If she went out without saying anything, others would assume she was at most thirty-eight or thirty-nine years old.
Jiang Shan was almost the same, with a lot less white hair on his head.
The enhanced “Jing Bing” I gave last time indeed had a good effect.
“Uncle and Auntie, I’ve wrapped the wontons, so we can eat now.”
As soon as An Nuonuo finished speaking, she went to the kitchen and brought out steamer after steamer of wontons.
There were steamed ones and boiled ones.
“You rascal!” Chen Yue kicked Jiang Xu in the backside: “What are you dawdling for, go help out.”
“Hiss!” Jiang Xu grimaced: “Mom, go easy on me, you clearly don’t dote on your son at all.”
“I dote on jack shit.” Chen Yue rolled her eyes: “Don’t you have any idea of your own status in the house?”
“Exactly, exactly.” Jiang Shan chimed in: “In our house, Nuonuo is first, your mom second, your unborn sister third, I’m fourth, and you’re at the very bottom.”
Jiang Xu:”???”
“Nonsense, son. Don’t listen to your dad’s babble.” Chen Yue said: “The top three are accurate, the fourth is indeed your dad, but the fifth isn’t you, it’s Xiao Bai.”
“What the hell is Xiao Bai?” Jiang Xu was astonished.
“It’s a stray dog we picked up recently, very beautiful, I call it Xiao Bai.”
Jiang Xu:
“Fine, fine, this is how we’re playing, is it? Goodbye then, I’m leaving home.”
To think, he, a big shot worth tens of billions, had a status lower than a dog in his own family.
Is there no justice in this world?
Is there no humanity?
Chen Yue waved her hand dismissively: “Go on then, make sure you take out the trash on your way out.”
Jiang Xu:
He had nothing to say, thoroughly resigned.
In the whole world, only Chen Yue could tame Jiang Xu so completely.
An Nuonuo was snickering on the side, utterly delighted.
Their family’s pecking order went Chen Yue -► Jiang Xu -> An Nuonuo -> Chen Yue, forming a closed loop.
And Jiang Shan?
Oh, he didn’t matter.
Jiang Shan:”…”
At the dining table.
Chen Yue and An Nuonuo were helping each other to food.
“Auntie, you should eat more so the baby grows strong and healthy.”
“You’re such a good girl, Nuonuo, you should eat more too, you’re too skinny now, is that stinky boy Jiang Xu mistreating you?”
“No, no, he treats me really well, just occasionally teases me.”
Chen Yue fell silent.
Then she quietly put down her chopsticks and walked into the kitchen.
When she came back out, she was holding a broom.
Jiang Xu paled with fear: “Mom… what are you doing? Stop, Mrs. Chen Yue, you can’t hit me, I’m an adult!”
Chen Yue: “You brat, not taking your old mother seriously, huh? How dare you bully her, you’re seeking death!”
“Ahh ahh ahh, I was wrong, Mom, I really was wrong.”
“I’ll never tease Nuonuo again.”
Jiang Xu felt utterly wronged inside.
Chen Yue wielding a broom meant business.
And with her pregnant, Jiang Xu couldn’t even run away, he just had to stand his ground.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shan was acting as if he was observing his breathing in meditation, pretending to see nothing.
An Nuonuo was even more outrageous.
She actually took out her phone and recorded the whole scene.
Jiang Xu itched with frustration.
An Nuonuo, so you’ve learned to be bad as well, huh.
Fine, fine, just you wait until mom leaves, then you’ll learn what cruelty is!
All because of one sentence from An Nuonuo, Jiang Xu got quite a beating.
Since mom wasn’t leaving, Jiang Xu could only activate his skill: Dragon King’s Forbearance.
