As Jiang Xing's father, Jiang Yangxu didn't know how to solve the thorny situation in front of him. He knew the gravity of the matter. Without a satisfactory explanation, the Jiang family might face the joint attack of the families of these poisoned people. They might even be targeted to the point of going bankrupt!
"Villain, kneel down!"
At this moment, Old Master Jiang's deep voice, tinged with anger, came over.
Jiang Xing, who was supporting himself with a walking stick, was stunned for a moment. After a moment of hesitation, he finally knelt down humiliatingly under everyone's gazes.
He knew that only by accepting the punishment himself and satisfying the poisoned guests could this matter be settled.
After Jiang Xing knelt down, Old Master Jiang stood up and walked over. He picked up the walking stick and smashed it on Jiang Xing's back.
"Villain, how could you do such a thing! It was okay for you to cause trouble at home before, but tonight is the engagement banquet between Youli and the eldest young master of the Qi family. You still can't behave yourself!"
"It seems that my previous punishment for you was too lenient. You didn't learn your lesson and kept attacking Youli again and again!"
As Old Master Jiang scolded, the walking stick in his hand didn't show any mercy either.
Qin Yulian behind him was extremely heart - broken. "Dad, stop hitting him."
"Will he learn his lesson if I don't hit him?" Old Master Jiang had no intention of stopping. He continued to smash the walking stick on Jiang Xing's body one after another.
Qin Yulian wanted to step forward to stop him, but was held back by her husband, Jiang Yangxu. "If the old master doesn't do this, it will be hard to quell this disaster!"
Qin Yulian could only watch her son being beaten with tears in her eyes, her heart aching beyond measure.
After beating Jiang Xing until there were bloodstains all over his back, the seven poisoned people said, "All right, Old Master Jiang. We don't want to see you beat your own grandson to death. But don't think that just because Jiang Xing has suffered some flesh wounds, the matter of him colluding with Qi Yue to cause a ruckus and make us poisoned can be overlooked."
At this time, Qi Huan slowly said, "I have an idea."
The poisoned people asked curiously, "What suggestions does Young Master Qi have?"
Qi Huan said slowly, "Jiang Xing did all these things targeting Little Li'er because he thought Little Li'er threatened his status in the Jiang family. When hitting a snake, you should hit it at its most vital part. If we want to punish, we should punish in a way that he and even his whole family can't accept the most."
"What does Young Master Qi mean?" The poisoned people had already understood. They all turned to Old Master Jiang and said, "Old Master Jiang, if it weren't for Miss Jiang saving us tonight, we wouldn't let your Jiang family off easily. To show our gratitude to Miss Jiang, we hope that Old Master Jiang can give Miss Jiang some kind of reward."
Jiang Yangxu's heart skipped a beat. Again! Is everyone going to have a hand in the Jiang family's property?
Only then did Old Master Jiang stop. He put down the walking stick, sighed, and said, "I understand. If it weren't for my granddaughter tonight, this matter wouldn't have been settled. As the head of the Jiang family, I should do something."
Saying that, he looked at his granddaughter, Jiang Youli.
"Youli, before, I only planned to give you 30% of the shares of Starlight Entertainment. I thought that if you could really make achievements after taking over Starlight Entertainment, I would hand over the whole company to you. If you couldn't make achievements, I would let you and Jiang Xing manage it together and compete. But now it seems that Jiang Xing is not qualified to compete with you at all."
"Now, I've decided to transfer all the shares of Starlight Entertainment to you."
"Great!" Zhang Susu covered her mouth excitedly and then looked at her husband, Jiang Yehan, with excitement. "Youli's life will be completely secure from now on!"
Jiang Yehan was also very relieved. Before, he was quite worried that after Youli took over Starlight Entertainment, she would work hard to achieve results but end up making a wedding dress for Jiang Xing.
After all, the old master was still quite traditional in his bones and definitely hoped that his grandson would be more promising and inherit the Jiang family's business.
Now it was all right. This last worry was gone.
Jiang Youli calmly smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa."
Originally, everyone thought that the matter had come to an end here. However, unexpectedly, Old Master Jiang suddenly seemed to make up his mind. After taking a deep breath, he shouted loudly, "Please be my witnesses here. I declare that from now on, my grandson Jiang Xing will never be able to inherit any of the Jiang family's properties!"
Jiang Yangxu widened his eyes, with a look of disbelief and astonishment on his face. He shouted anxiously, "Dad! This punishment is too harsh!"
At this time, Jiang Xing, who was still kneeling on the cold ground and whose back was already stained red with a large area of blood, after hearing his grandfather say these words in person, felt as if he had been struck by lightning. A sense of complete despair welled up in his heart.
He felt a sweet taste in his throat. A mouthful of scarlet blood suddenly spurted out, and then his body fell straight backward, losing consciousness and fainting.
"Xing'er!" Seeing this, Qin Yulian, who was standing beside him, was extremely shocked. She pushed her husband, Jiang Yangxu, away forcefully and rushed forward in three big steps. She knelt down and used all her strength to hold Jiang Xing up in her arms.
Looking at her son in her arms, whose face was as pale as paper and lifeless, Qin Yulian was extremely anxious. Tears streamed down her face involuntarily, and she shouted tremblingly, "Xing'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare mom!"
Jiang Yangxu was also extremely anxious when he saw this situation. He quickly stepped forward and bent down to carefully check Jiang Xing's condition.
Jiang Youli watched all this calmly and coldly. "Don't worry. Jiang Xing is not dead. He just fainted due to a sudden rush of anger and a blow he couldn't bear."
Hearing this, Qin Yulian let out a sigh of relief. Soon, she looked up and glared at Jiang Youli fiercely, trembling all over. Although she didn't say a word, her eyes were full of hatred.
Jiang Youli sneered. "What, Second Aunt hates me very much?"
Qin Yulian's fingers tightly grabbed Jiang Xing's clothes, trying to restrain her hatred.
Jiang Youli sneered and said, "It's clearly Jiang Xing's own fault. It doesn't make sense for you to hate me. But people like you who don't admit their mistakes will never self - reflect. You always have to shift the blame onto others."
The guests also echoed contemptuously:
"That's right. This is what he deserves!"
"To tell the truth, their whole family has ended up like this because of their own actions. What right do they have to hate Miss Jiang Youli?"
Jiang Yangxu couldn't stand these remarks. He told his wife, Qin Yulian, "All right. Go and see what's going on with Yonghe, and then take Jiang Xing and Yonghe to the hospital together."
Only then did Qin Yulian take back her gaze. She put down Jiang Xing, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and walked towards her adopted daughter, Jiang Yonghe, to check on her situation.
"Very well, Old Master Jiang. We're very satisfied with the punishment for Jiang Xing. Miss Jiang, Young Master Qi, we'll take our leave now. We won't disturb you from continuing with the engagement banquet." After saying that, the seven poisoned people took the hopeless Qi Yue away from the engagement banquet venue.
Seeing his son being taken away, Qi Tianxiang closed his eyes helplessly. Things had come to this point. Qi Yue was beyond salvation. He could only protect himself, let alone have the ability to save Qi Yue.
Jiang Youli looked down at Qi Huan beside her, whose expression was indistinguishable. "Qi Yue must be living a life worse than death now, Xiao Huanhuan. You won't feel pity for him, will you?"
Qi Huan looked up, smiling at her gently. "Of course not. Qi Yue doesn't hold any place in my heart anymore. Now, my heart is completely occupied by you." Jiang Youli let out a chuckle. "You're getting quite good at sweet - talking now." Just as the two were chatting and laughing, from not far away came Qin Yulian's shocked voice. "Doctor, why is my daughter Yonghe's face so swollen?!"
