Chapter 595
“Alright, I’ll go into the city this afternoon to find some friends to get it done. It’s not a big deal,” Jiang Yexun replied with a light laugh.
Although the staff liked to mediate, if there were benefits involved, they would happily keep quiet.
However, he needed to remind his mother not to let anyone from the old Jiang family mention his sister recently.
If his father didn’t bring it up, it meant he was feeling guilty. But if they brought it up and didn’t use past events to retaliate, it was clear they had other plans.
“Make sure you don’t take Xiaoxiao to the city. She hasn’t been pregnant for three months, and it’s not suitable for her to travel back and forth like that,” Aunt Guo reminded anxiously.
Before Jiang Yexun could respond, Su Xiaoxiao already wrapped her arm around Aunt Guo’s and answered obediently, “Don’t worry, mother. I won’t be running around. I still need to sort out the machine tools. Most of the time, I’ll just be hanging around the team.”
As for the team, Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t concerned about any danger.
The whole team knew they weren’t to be messed with, and aside from the old Jiang family, no one else dared to cause trouble with her.
If the old Jiang family wanted to make a fuss, they could. The more they made noise, the sooner things would escalate to the point of a divorce.
“By the way, how’s the investigation into Team Leader Kong’s youngest son going?” Su Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered the matter Jiang Yexun had left for earlier and asked urgently.
The next moment, she saw the expression on her husband’s face turn dark.
“Not well! That guy is just a worthless piece of trash. The family that adopted him had three daughters, but after they couldn’t have any more children, Team Leader Kong’s wife went and begged them several times before they agreed to take him in. Twenty-six years ago, they scraped together 150 yuan for Team Leader Kong’s wife and signed an agreement saying they would never have any further relations with the Kong family.
Now, the three daughters have all gotten married, and the old couple is left alone. The adoptive mother is still in poor health and can’t work, but as soon as Kong Dongfeng became the team leader, he came running back to claim his parents. The old couple now looks like they’ve been drained of their life force.” Jiang Yexun sneered, his voice cold.
Not only did he think the man was worthless, but he also felt the Kong family was equally despicable.
When they sent the child away, they claimed it was because they couldn’t afford to raise him, and as long as the adoptive family could feed him, they would never show up again.
But now that the child had grown up, they were suddenly claiming the “separation of flesh and blood” after all these years, digging at the old couple’s hearts every day. They had claimed the child back.
What was even more ridiculous was that Kong Liye had obviously never cut ties with the Kong family all these years.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come back so quickly.
He had them raise the child, hoping to inherit all their assets, while still wanting this son to support the Kong family in the future, in case anything happened.
If they hadn’t adopted Kong Liye back then, they wouldn’t have had to marry off their three daughters.
At least they would have had someone at home to take care of things, and the old couple wouldn’t be so lonely now.
“Then why hasn’t he gotten married by the age of twenty? Someone like him should have gotten married and had children early to continue the family line, right?” Su Xiaoxiao asked with a frown, her beautiful brows tightly knitted.
Jiang Yexun’s expression turned even more disdainful as he spoke.
“That Kong Liye has spent all these years trying to marry a city girl, but the women in the team all know that he never liked working in the fields. A grown man only does four or five work points a day, relying entirely on his adoptive father’s job to support him, or on his three sisters. It wasn’t until he came to our team, where the educated youth didn’t know his background. Qian Siyu was deceived.”
