"Shut up! Stop talking!" Qin Yulian couldn't help but shout, seeing her husband being so provoked and insulted.
Jiang Youli shrugged and looked at Old Master Jiang. "Grandfather, just tell me, are you going to eat this humble pie or not?"
Old Master Jiang no longer hesitated. "Fine. As your father said, half a year. If your second uncle cannot make any breakthroughs for Jiang Pharmaceutical Company, the company will be handed over to your father to manage. As for the 10% stake in Jiang Pharmaceutical Company, I can also give it to you."
"Dad..."
Jiang Yangxu tried to say something, but Old Master Jiang gave him no chance. "Enough! It's all Jiang Zhao's fault. Consider this a lesson for you!"
Qin Yulian felt like she was about to cough up blood. In this car accident, her son might end up a vegetable, and now, having come to demand an explanation from Jiang Youli, not only did she fail to get one, but she also had to watch helplessly as the old master gifted Jiang Youli 10% of the pharmaceutical company's shares!
"Now, I suppose it's my turn." At this moment, Qi Huan spoke up, looking at Jiang Yangxu and Qin Yulian with a faint, mocking smile.
Jiang Yangxu and Qin Yulian were both stunned. They had been so busy dealing with Jiang Youli that they had completely forgotten about the formidable presence of Qi Huan!
Regaining his composure, Jiang Yangxu quickly turned to Qi Huan, his face breaking into an ingratiating, though strained, smile. "My son's recklessness endangered you, Young Master Qi. Please tell us how you would like us to make amends."
Qi Huan thought for a moment, a slight smile playing on his lips as he said slowly, "I lack for nothing, so there's little you can offer me. Jiang Zhao is unconscious and can give me no explanation. Xiao Li'er is now my fiancée, and her honor and disgrace are mine as well. Therefore, any compensation meant for me can be given to Xiao Li'er."
He paused, then continued leisurely, "I heard that Old Master Jiang plans to hand over the management rights of Starlight Entertainment to Xiao Li'er next month. However, you still hold the majority of the shares. I imagine Jiang Xing and the others still harbor hope. If Xiao Li'er fails to achieve results after taking over Starlight Entertainment, he would still have a chance to snatch it back."
By now, Jiang Yangxu had a vague idea of what Qi Huan was about to say, his face turning as disgusted and uncomfortable as if he had accidentally stumbled on the roadside and gotten a mouthful of dog excrement.
Yet, he dared not speak disrespectfully to Qi Huan.
"It's not that I distrust you, Old Master Jiang. But as Xiao Li'er's fiancé, I genuinely do not wish for her to suffer any disadvantage within the Jiang family. So, for the sake of prudence, I hope Old Master Jiang will also gift the shares of Starlight Entertainment to Xiao Li'er." Qi Huan's tone was always light and casual, yet it brooked no argument.
Even seated in a wheelchair, the deterrent force emanating from him was impossible to ignore.
Old Master Jiang had to admit that Qi Huan truly lived up to his reputation as a prodigious talent who dominated the business world.
Compared to him, his own two grandsons were simply... They hadn't even reached the pinnacle in their respective fields, yet they were already arrogant beyond measure.
If only Qi Huan were his grandson.
Would he still worry about the Jiang family not rising to become a top-tier wealthy family in the capital someday?
His granddaughter, from what he could see now, was indeed quite outstanding—at least she seemed stronger than the brothers Jiang Zhao and Jiang Xing—but she was ultimately a woman.
No matter how capable a woman is, doesn't she still have to marry and have children? Once she has children, her focus will inevitably shift to the family. Perhaps she can achieve decent success in her career for a time, but in a place like the capital, teeming with big shots, once she pauses her stride, how much achievement can she really regain when she tries to set sail again?
Zhang Susu and Jiang Yehan exchanged a glance, feeling more certain than ever that this eldest young master of the Qi family was genuinely good to Youli.
Qin Yulian, however, was truly about to faint from rage!
When they first learned that Yonghe could be engaged to this eldest young master of the Qi family, their family had been overjoyed. Wasn't it precisely because of the status of the Qi family's eldest young master that they wanted this kind of unquestionable authority?
With the Qi family's eldest young master and the Qi family's backing, wouldn't any word spoken or action taken in the capital go smoothly!
But now, the engagement was gone! The backing from the Qi family's eldest young master had instead been given to Jiang Youli, the person she least wanted to see prosper right now. It was infuriating!
Most importantly, they still didn't know the situation on Old Master Qi's side. There had been no movement. Could it be that he really intended to let the crippled Qi Huan continue to inherit the Qi family's fortune?
Old Master Jiang asked in a consultative tone, "Then, Young Master Qi, how many shares of Starlight Entertainment would you have us compensate Youli with to consider this matter settled?"
Qi Huan stated bluntly, "Compared to the market value of the Jiang family's pharmaceutical company, Starlight Entertainment doesn't hold a high proportion within the Jiang family's assets. Therefore, giving 30% of the shares should be about right."
If it weren't Qi Huan saying this, Jiang Yangxu would have loved to curse out loud: What do you mean 'about right'?!
Although Starlight Entertainment's market value was indeed far lower than the Jiang family's core pharmaceutical company, taking 30% of the shares at once was still a significant portion!
Jiang Youli, while munching on grapes with relish, couldn't help but marvel: Is this what they call wealth falling from the sky while you just sit at home?
Although she wasn't short of money, watching her fiancé Qi Huan and her handsome new father striving to secure benefits for her always made her happy—a kind of happiness beyond mere wealth.
Such men were really, truly handsome!
Old Master Jiang glanced at Jiang Youli on the hospital bed, pondered for a moment, and finally agreed. "Alright. I will expedite the share transfer procedures for these two companies as soon as possible."
Qi Huan smiled with satisfaction. "Good. Thank you for your trouble, Old Master Jiang."
Old Master Jiang turned to his second son, Jiang Yangxu, his voice unprecedentedly stern. "Don't you dare feel resentful. If you don't want to end up with nothing from the remaining family assets, focus your minds on proper business. Don't ever do anything as heinous as Jiang Zhao did to your own family again. If word got out, we'd be the laughingstock of all the wealthy families!"
"As for Jiang Zhao, a singer under Starlight Entertainment, now comatose from the car accident, have Jiang Xing's side handle the public relations properly!"
After giving these instructions, Old Master Jiang left with the chief steward.
Jiang Yangxu and Qin Yulian were seething with anger with nowhere to vent it. They had clearly come to demand an explanation from Jiang Youli, but not only did they gain nothing, they had to watch helplessly as Jiang Youli profited immensely from this very car accident!
Meeting their resentful gazes, Jiang Youli said deliberately, "My, this car accident was really worth it."
Qin Yulian wished she could rush over and tear her mouth apart!
Jiang Yangxu snorted coldly, said nothing, turned, and left the hospital room.
Qin Yulian was about to follow her out when she heard Jiang Youli speak again from behind. "Aunt, the doctors must have suggested that you talk to Jiang Zhao more often to increase his chances of waking up, right? In my opinion, you should really make sure to tell him all about how he tampered with my brakes, which ended up getting me all those company shares for nothing. Be thorough and detailed. Who knows, it might just piss him off enough to jolt him right awake. At least then you wouldn't have come away with nothing, right?"
