In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong

"What's wrong with you today? What are you swearing for? If you didn't do it, you didn't do it! Are you under too much work pressure? If you're tired, just rest, understand?"

"Shut the hell up!"

Even now you're still trying to cover it up, but Jiang Ning has already exposed everything. You know what you've done, you bitch. I just don't understand, what did I do to wrong you? I gave you everything you wanted!

I got my father to transfer you to work in the capital, and I gave you a house, a car, money, and even my entire salary, and this is how you treat me?

You're so wicked!

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone immediately fell silent. Any explanation would be weak and unconvincing, since once suspicion arises, it's very easy to verify such matters.

"Since you already know, then I'll be frank. You did pay me my salary, but what I want is money."

What I want is your love!

Did I say we shouldn't go to those places?

You wouldn't listen, and you've been gone for seven or eight years!

I am a woman, and I am married.

But she ended up living like a widow!

"But I clearly told you to come with me!"

"Go and suffer? I finally made it to the capital, I don't want to, you know that!"

These are not reasons for your infidelity!

"I cheated on you! So what!"

"divorce!"

After saying that, Jiang Kang hung up the phone.

He no longer wanted to say another word to this woman.

With an unusually heavy heart, Jiang Kang dialed his father's number again.

"Hey, Dad!"

"Is something the matter, Xiaokang?"

"I have already taken office in Handong."

"How's work?"

"It went very smoothly."

Jiang Dehai breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"As long as I don't make things difficult for you, that's fine. It's Dad who dragged you into this. I'm sorry!"

"Dad, let's not talk about that. There's something I need to tell you. I'm planning to divorce Jing Shu."

What?! You want a divorce?!

"Dad, Jing Shu is cheating on you, and it's with Jiang Ning!"

"But the child is innocent, Xiaokang, why don't you reconsider?"

"The child isn't mine either!"

"What! Didn't she promise me that the child would definitely be of the Jiang family bloodline?!"

Jiang Dehai was somewhat excited, but he regretted it as soon as he said it. Sure enough, Jiang Kang keenly grasped the deeper meaning of his words.

"Dad, you knew about Jing Shu's affair, right? And you actually helped me keep it a secret about her and Jiang Ning?"

Jiang Kang's tone was very calm, but this was only the calm before the storm; his heart was actually bleeding!

His wife cheated on him with his younger brother, and his father knew but kept it a secret...

"Xiao Kang, listen to me, I didn't mean it, it's just...it's so embarrassing!"

"Are you afraid of losing face? Aren't you afraid I'll go crazy if I find out?"

"But you've always been very sensible..."

"What kind of bullshit logic is this!"

Does being sensible mean you have to be bullied? From childhood to adulthood, I've always given Jiang Ning the best things. I have no complaints about you spoiling him, but how can you allow this kind of thing to happen!

How could you, as a father, be so biased? Do you even respect me as your son?

"Xiaokang, I..."

"I don't want to hear it! Either you agree to my divorce from that bitch Jing Shu, and that child has nothing to do with our Jiang family, or you can pretend you don't have a son like me! Go and live with your precious grandson!"

I'll only give you one minute to think about it!

After saying that, Jiang Kang fell silent, while Jiang Dehai was torn between his thoughts and his own; he truly couldn't bear to part with it.

After all, a grandson is a real grandson, and a son is a biological son.

Faced with this difficult choice between two options, Jiang Dehai remained silent.

Time passed slowly, but Jiang Dehai remained silent. He felt that his son had always been so sensible, and this time he would only make a fuss and get angry, and would be fine after a while.

But Jiang Kang really wasn't going to put up with it any longer!

"The time is up, you don't need to say anything more. From beginning to end, I was never firmly chosen by you..."

From now on, you and your precious grandson can go there. I'll pretend I never had a father like you!

After saying that, Jiang Kang hung up the phone, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. A man doesn't easily shed tears, but this blow was too much and too painful for him until he was truly heartbroken.

Chapter 374 The person who knows you best is also the person who hurts you the most.

Back at the Jiang family's courtyard house in the capital, Jiang Dehai still didn't think his eldest son would really cut off all ties with him after hanging up the phone, given that Jiang Kang had compromised countless times before.

Just then, Old Master Jiang and Jiang Deyang walked into the courtyard. Seeing Jiang Dehai standing there with a furrowed brow, Jiang Guochao casually asked, "Dehai, what's making you so nervous? Tell Dad."

"Dad! Xiaokang knows!"

Jiang Dehai suddenly looked up at his old man.

"Know what?"

Jiang Guochao frowned, his heart pounding. He already had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

"It's all about Xiao Ning and Jing Shu!"

Jiang Dehai spread his hands and sighed as he revealed the truth.

"Didn't I tell you to keep this a secret? What are you all doing! How could you let Xiaokang know about this!"

Jiang Guochao felt a rush of blood to his head, panting heavily, and kept tapping the ground with his cane.

“Dad, this isn’t my fault. It was Xiao Ning who told him when Xiao Kang went to Handong to visit her…”

"How dare you say that!"

Jiang Guochao was furious. He took a few steps forward, raised his cane, and slapped Jiang Dehai on the shoulder.

“I’m asking you, why did Xiao Kang go to Handong! How could you let him go to Handong? You know his personality, once he got to Handong, wouldn’t he go see Xiao Ning?”

"Dad, it was Xiaokang who wanted to transfer there himself... What does it have to do with me? I couldn't stop him..."

Jiang Deyang, who was standing to the side, did not say a word or intervene at all. He just stood there with his arms crossed, looking at his father and elder brother.

His gaze was somewhat cold. He had long known that this kind of thing would be exposed one day, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

"So what does Xiaokang plan to do? Divorce Jingshu?"

After calming down, Jiang Guochao asked his eldest grandson for his opinion on how to handle the situation.

"Dad, it's not as simple as just getting a divorce... If it were just a divorce, that would be fine, but the key issue is the children!"

The child isn't Xiaokang's, but Xiaoning's, and Xiaokang doesn't intend to acknowledge the child.

"What! Why are you only bringing this up now!"

Jiang Guochao angrily raised his cane and hit Jiang Dehai again, and Jiang Dehai also felt wronged.

"Why did you hit me again... I only found out about this now. Jing Shu only said that the child is of the Jiang family bloodline. How was I supposed to know that he was referring to Xiao Ning?"

"Oh! What a tragedy!"

Jiang Guochao's eyes were a little moist, while Jiang Dehai comforted his father.

"Dad, don't worry, Xiaokang is a sensible child. He understands our good intentions. He's just angry right now. Once he calms down, this matter will be over."

"You don't know anything!"

"You don't really think Xiaokang can tolerate everything, do you? I'm asking you, what else did Xiaokang say! You better tell me everything honestly!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Dehai's gaze became somewhat evasive.

However, under the weight of his father's authority, he stammered out the two choices Jiang Kang had given him.

"He said that if we were to acknowledge this grandson... then he wouldn't acknowledge me as his father... Of course, he was just saying that in anger, I think..."

How did you reply to Xiaokang?

"I...I didn't say anything..."

"Are you crazy! What do you mean you didn't say anything! That's your son, your own son!"

“Dad, but a grandson is still a grandson! You know what Xiao Ning’s situation is now. The sentence will be at least life imprisonment. If Xiao Kang doesn’t acknowledge this child and confesses this to the organization, what will be the consequences?”

"If the child's father is changed to Xiao Ning, the child's future will be ruined..."

This is what Jiang Dehai is most worried about. His grandson is his own flesh and blood, and his son is also his own flesh and blood. According to his plan, he hopes that Jiang Kang can accept this child, even if only in name.

Jiang Guochao understood the meaning behind those words.

What is Xiaokang's opinion?

"He disagrees!"

"Try to talk to him again... Just like you said, the child is innocent after all. Our Jiang family is not large; this is the only son in four generations."

The old man of the Jiang family had made his meaning very clear, and Jiang Deyang, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.

Without waiting for his elder brother and father to say anything more, Jiang Deyang left the courtyard first.
