"Zhou Ru, I've had enough of you!"
Jiang Chen glared furiously at Zhou Ru, then turned and pointed at Ye Yanni and the others:
"And you! Do you even deserve to be Jing Yi's family? She's just a girl, yet she runs around every day for your sake, exhausted to the bone, while you do nothing, simply lying on her back and sucking her blood!
Sucking her blood is one thing, but you're still not satisfied, pressuring Jing Yi every day, even expecting her to provide you with a lifestyle fit for an emperor.
Nonsense! Have you ever thought if you deserve that?
What have you done? Your only connection to Jing Yi is that you're her parents and sister. Apart from that, have you ever given Jing Yi the slightest bit of help?
No! Never!
Jing Yi's kindness made her tolerate you over and over again. For your sake, and for this Ye Family, she worked herself to the bone, without a trace of resentment towards you!
She's too kind!
And that has hurt her!
If it wasn't for you constantly pushing Jing Yi, only making her handle all sorts of difficult tasks, putting her in the front lines for everything, how would she have ended up unconscious as she is now?"
Zhou Ru, with her swollen face, was dumbfounded, her mouth agape, but not a word came out.
And Ye Yanni and the others flushed with shame, wishing they could vanish into a crack in the ground.
The other members of the Ye Family also hung their heads in shame; they were not much different from Zhou Ru's family.
"Jiang Chen, there's no need to say more."
At this point, Grandpa Ye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up.
"I declare!"
Grandpa Ye spoke in a stern voice: "Starting today, I strip Ye Tianming and Ye Jianchang of all their family shares. In this matter, Yu Wan and Jing Yi were injured, so their shares will go to them!"
"Dad!"
"Grandpa!"
Ye Tianming and Ye Jianchang looked incredulously at Grandpa Ye, who had suddenly taken a stand.
"You can't do this." Ye Tianming and Ye Jianchang rushed madly to the elder.
Slap! Slap!
Grandpa Ye gave each one a slap and shouted angrily, "Of course I can, I am the head of this Ye Family. I've known for a long time that you were incompetent, but I thought you had not reached the point of no return, and so I indulged you. But now, you have gone to such monstrous lengths, betraying your own family; how dare you say I can't?"
Grandpa Ye's words were forceful, rendering Ye Tianming and Ye Jianchang speechless.
Seeing the stunned Ye Tianming and Ye Jianchang, Grandpa Ye took a deep breath and said coldly: "From now on, you two good-for-nothings, get out of the Ye Family this instant!"
"Get out!" Grandpa Ye yelled, "Guards! Throw them out!"
Several family protectors charged into the meeting room and dragged Ye Tianming and Ye Jianchang out.
Grandma Ye opened her mouth as if wanting to say something when she saw this scene. But Grandpa Ye turned his head and glared fiercely at Grandma Ye, saying word for word, "Old woman, if you don't come to your senses, our Jinhai Ye Family will sooner or later be ruined by you."
Grandma Ye's heart trembled, and she sat back down in her seat, not daring to speak.
Jiang Chen watched this play out, nodding to himself in approval. Grandpa Ye had always been alright, just previously suppressed by Grandma Ye, but now his vigor was restored; there might still be hope for the Jinhai Ye Family.
Thinking this, he gave Grandpa Ye a bow, "Grandpa Ye is mighty."
Then, turning his cold gaze to the other members of the Ye Family, he said, "Now that their issue is settled, I'll address another matter."
All eyes turned to him as Jiang Chen continued in a cold voice: "From now on, Ye Jingyi will be the new head of the Jinhai Ye Family!"
"What? That's out of the question!"
"Ye Jingyi? How can a woman be the head of a family?"
"This is absolutely unacceptable!"
Upon hearing this, all the members of the Ye Family started to object.
Grandpa Ye frowned but did not voice any objections.
Jiang Chen retorted with a cold laugh, "Why can't a woman be the head of the family? Her capabilities are stronger than all of you! If I say it works, it works."
Ye Jianmin hesitated for a moment, then spoke with a frown, "But... Ye Jingyi is still in a coma."
Jiang Chen stared at Ye Jianmin coldly, "So what if she's in a coma? She is in a coma now, but she will wake up sooner or later!"
Grandma Ye suddenly stood up, pointing at Jiang Chen and loudly chastising him, "I do not agree! You are taking advantage of this to seize control of our Ye Family!"
"Seize control? Hmph, you're thinking too much."
Jiang Chen chuckled coldly, "I'm already divorced from Jingyi, and I'm no longer the son-in-law of the Ye Family. Isn't this the result of your own actions?"
As he spoke, he put his arm around Gong Lin's shoulder and Jiang Chen loudly announced, "And take a good look, this is my current wife, Gong Lin! The daughter of Jincheng's Gong Family head. Do I need to scheme against your little Jinhai Ye Family?"
The members of the Ye Family were stunned, their faces showing great surprise.
After the divorce, Jiang Chen had so quickly connected with the daughter of the Gong Family?
That was incredible!
"Oh my God! This guy's really good at living off women."
"He's moved on to a higher level of freeloading!"
"No wonder everyone treats him with such respect, he's cozied up with the Gong Family of Jincheng."
"He's truly the king of freeloading!"
The members of the Ye Family whispered amongst themselves.
Even Zhou Ru changed her expression, looking at Jiang Chen with jealousy. They thought that without them, Jiang Chen would be nothing, but now, seemingly in an instant, he had become the son-in-law of the Gong Family, elevating his status far beyond what it had been before.
Jiang Chen, ignoring the surprise of those around him, swept a cold gaze over the members of the Ye Family and declared, "Now, I'm appointing Ye Jingyi as the family head. Does anyone have any objections?"
Cheng Zhiqiang, Sun Jialin, and others also began to voice their support for Ye Jingyi.
"If Miss Ye Jingyi becomes the family head, we would consider collaborating with the Ye Family!"
"Yes, if Miss Ye Jingyi is the head, our bank can provide loans to the Ye Family!"
"Similarly, our Sun Family will fully support the development of the Ye Family!"
"We will..."
At this moment, the members of the Ye Family were completely dumbfounded. Seeing all these tycoons supporting Ye Jingyi, they kept silent, effectively consenting to Jiang Chen's proposal.
Jiang Chen surveyed the Ye Family members with an authoritative gaze.
Everyone he looked at involuntarily lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
And in their trembling hearts, they all wondered:
Was this Jiang Chen really the son-in-law they had looked down upon, the good-for-nothing?
Why hadn't we seen how strong, how formidable he was?
We really must have been blind!
In the end, Jiang Chen's gaze softened as he looked at Ye Yùwǎn, "Yu Wan, I'm about to leave Jinhai. From now on, I'll need you to help your sister look after the Ye Family. I will definitely cure her, and once she wakes up, I will bring her back."
"Okay! I'll help you and my sister take good care of the Ye Family."
Ye Yùwǎn nodded firmly, her eyes filled with deep emotions and reluctance, "I'll wait for you both to return. I could remain unmarried for a lifetime, just waiting for you to come back."
Jiang Chen's heart trembled fiercely, his eyes showing a moved expression. He opened his mouth, but did not know what to say.
Ultimately, he turned around and strode away without looking back.
As the Ye Family watched Jiang Chen's departing figure, they suddenly felt a sense of poignancy:
A true dragon lies not in shallow waters, for it soars in the sky upon meeting the wind and clouds!
