To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

"Sir, what do you mean by that?"

Bai Jianshe said, "It's too complicated to explain in just a few words. This is an internal matter for the Xiao family. Just know that if we propose marriage this time, there's a very high chance the Xiao family will agree!"

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Bai Jianshe sneered, "I'm waiting for this good-for-nothing to see the truth. A piece of trash who doesn't even dare to admit defeat, even if he marries into the Xiao family, he'll still be a piece of trash!"

Just then, footsteps came from upstairs.

Bai Zifeng rushed downstairs.

"Dad, I want to go to Jiangcheng myself!"

Bai Jianshe didn't even look at him: "What? Still not giving up? That guy from the Song family clearly isn't interested in you, and you're shamelessly trying to get slapped in the face?"

Bai Zifeng's eyes were bloodshot: "I refuse to accept this! Why should I be outdone by a country bumpkin!"

Bai Jianshe looked at Bai Zifeng, who was clearly unwilling, and said, "Fine, go if you want to. But I advise you to think carefully about your identity, what you should and shouldn't do!"

Bai Zifeng's face darkened, and he suddenly sneered, "Don't worry, I know my limits, but some people probably don't!"

Bai Zifeng left in a hurry.

Looking at Bai Zifeng's retreating figure, Bai Jianshe snorted coldly.

At this moment, the alluring woman said, "Master, when will you allow Xiao Heng to be recognized by his ancestors? He is your own flesh and blood!"

Bai Jianshe narrowed his eyes, tapping the handrail lightly with his fingers without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, the alluring woman's eyes lit up slightly.

……

In Jiangcheng, a small gate has been opened at the main entrance of the prison.

A person walked out from inside.

With short hair and a gloomy look in his eyes, if Jiang's parents were here, they would probably recognize this person as their most beloved eldest son.

Jiang Zhe has been released. He hadn't been in prison for long, but he had lost a lot of weight.

He looked gloomy and listless, lacking his usual radiance, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

Just then, a car in front of him stopped, the window rolled down, revealing an unfamiliar face. "Young Master Jiang, get in!"

Jiang Zhe's pupils contracted, as if the words "Young Master Jiang" had stung his pride.

Jiang Zhe opened the car door and got in.

"Heh, Young Master Jiang, as far as I know, Jiang Jinhuan is now the heir to the Jiang family, and his shareholding has surpassed that of Chairman Jiang. It seems you, Young Master Jiang, have nothing left!"

Jiang Zhe clenched his fists tightly, his eyes blazing with venom.

"I need information about the Jiang family, and all information about that guy!"

The driver paused for a moment, then said, "I can give you specific information about the Jiang family, but I can't help you with that guy. You know he seems to have a good relationship with that person from the Qin family, so we won't get much information with our limited resources!"

Jiang Zhe's face grew increasingly gloomy. Qin Lan had been willing to sacrifice her own life to save Jiang Jinhuan, and he didn't know why she would do that.

That guy is just a country bumpkin from the countryside, so why is he living a better life than me?

"The Qin family? Heh, so what if they're the Qin family? They have a shady background and have offended plenty of people, haven't they?"

"Not everyone dares to touch the Qin family!"

The driver narrowed his eyes. "Young Master Jiang, do you have something to say?"

Jiang Zhe glanced coldly at the driver, a sly smile playing on his lips.

The driver noticed Jiang Zhe's gaze, his face stiffened for a moment, and cold sweat even trickled down his forehead.

He felt like he was being targeted by a venomous snake.

The man gave an awkward laugh and said, "Young Master Jiang? Are you going home now or...?"

Jiang Zhe's lips curled slightly. "Go home? Do I even have a home anymore? Didn't you say that everything under my name has been taken over by that bastard Jiang Jinhuan?"

"That's right, your shares, and all the assets under your name, now belong to Jiang Jinhuan!"

Jiang Zhe's body trembled slightly; he was furious.

He lowered his head, then slowly raised it again. "So, what's the point of me going back? If I don't go back, you said no one will know I'm out of prison now!"

"That's right. Aside from your parents, no one knows about your release from prison this time. Young Master Bai is afraid of causing any unforeseen complications!"

The reason Jiang's parents knew was because, according to procedure, Jiang Zhe's parents had to be present when he was released from prison!

In the face of the state apparatus, not even a hundred members of the Bai family could tamper with this matter, let alone the Bai family!

Jiang Zhe said, "Please thank Young Master Bai for me, and also help me contact Uncle Tai!"

The driver's pupils suddenly contracted.

Jiang Zhe said, "What? You're not going to tell me you don't have any connections, are you?"

"Of course!"

Jiang Zhe's lips curled up slightly.

That's even scarier.

Jiang Zhe was released from prison, but Jiang Jin Huan was unaware of it.

The Bai family still has some capabilities, and the Qin family's focus has long since shifted away from Jiang Zhe.

So even the Qin family didn't know about this.

The only people who probably know about this are Jiang Jin Huan Dao's parents.

……

Jiangcheng University.

Jiang Jinhuan got up and went outside, only to see Chen Lingshuang waiting outside the dormitory.

There's no way around it; she's like a dazzling pearl, attracting everyone's attention simply by standing there.

Her slender and curvaceous figure made her stand out from the crowd.

Upon seeing Marquis Huan of Jiangjin, Chen Ling Shuang's usually cold face was instantly filled with a smile.

She ran over in small steps, her chest trembling, making Jiang Jinhuan's heart race and his mouth dry.

"Jin Huan, let's go have breakfast!" Chen Ling Shuang's eyes lit up.

Jiang Jinhuan nodded: "Okay, let's go!"

The two walked side by side toward the cafeteria.

As soon as I sat down, I heard some classmates whispering around me.

"Have you heard? Song Qingci is coming to our school to give a speech next Friday!"

"Song Qingci? The president of Xingyao Group?"

"It's her! At only twenty-six years old, she took over the family business for two years and managed to transform Xingyao from a second-tier company into one of Jiangcheng's top wealthy families."

Last year, the West City Industrial Park project she spearheaded spurred economic growth across the city, directly altering the urban landscape and its direction!

"Indeed, I've heard that the government originally wanted to develop the southern part of the city, but the West City Industrial Park project caused them to completely change their plans!"

"If it were me, I would make the switch too. The investment in the West City Industrial Park has directly attracted several other large industries. The land there is now extremely sought after, and the infrastructure is much better than that in the South City. If I were the mayor, I would also bet on West City!"

"That's right. Now, with foreign industries settling in the western part of the city, it has become a veritable national-level industrial park. As a result, Jiangcheng's strength is about to surpass that of Shanghai!"

"Oh my god, she's truly my idol! I want to join Xingyao after graduation, and I wish I could get her autograph."

"I heard she's even more beautiful in person than in photos. She was on the cover of a financial magazine last time; her presence was amazing."

"And I heard she's single! A true 'rich, beautiful, and successful' woman!"
