Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 241: I Had a Dream, and It Was Very Long

Chapter 241: Chapter 241: I Had a Dream, and It Was Very Long

As soon as Jiang Chengshu made a move, Huo Chi understood his intention, sneered, and with a twist of his wrist, used a small grappling trick to reverse the grip on Jiang Chengshu’s wrist.

Jiang Chengshu immediately felt his strength, so shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out.

Huo Chi chuckled, "Old Man Jiang, it’s because my brother isn’t here, don’t think you can bully us. Brother Ye is still here. Let me lay it out for you: your man harassed my sister. How is that, you want to protect him or get justice for him?"

Jiang Chengshu knew he was on the losing end, so he immediately changed to a smile, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

"This is no misunderstanding, this is damn hooliganism!" Huo Chi applied more strength, and Jiang Chengshu instantly felt his wrist bones were about to shatter.

His expression changed immediately, shoulders slumped, and the previous arrogance vanished. Knowing Huo Chi was taking the opportunity to retaliate for the grudge over the inn search, he had no choice but to scold Jiang Chengxu, "Apologize now!"

Seeing Jiang Chengshu was afraid, Jiang Chengxu knew the person before him was tough, with a background stronger than the Jiangs’. Without further thinking, he sincerely apologized, "I’m sorry, I was momentarily confused!"

"Apologizing to me? You damn well harassed me, apologize to my sister! Are you blind?"

Jiang Chengxu promptly apologized to Xu Qinghuan, "I’m sorry, Qinghuan, I just missed you!"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xingye kicked Jiang Chengxu, sending him flying backwards, landing on his backside, sliding almost two meters away.

"Old Man Jiang, you should be the one apologizing!" Huo Chi continued relentlessly.

Jiang Chengshu internally cursed Jiang Chengxu vigorously, "I apologize, I apologize, it’s what I should do. Comrade Xu, offending you at the inn was one thing, and now my incompetent cousin has offended you again; that’s another;

Ultimately, it’s all our fault. As the elder brother, I offer you my sincerest apologies and hope you’ll forgive us."

"Just words?" Huo Chi mocked, "When did Old Man Jiang’s apologies become so cheap?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Jiang Chengshu felt like crying without tears. The Jiang family’s assets, their grandfather’s lifetime savings, were moved out, yet they couldn’t openly search for them. He couldn’t express his suffering. His grandfather was already lying in the hospital, and he couldn’t lavishly spend like before.

He rummaged through his pockets and found five hundred yuan, ready to give it to Xu Qinghuan, "Comrade Xu, here’s a token of my sincerity, buy yourself something good to eat to calm your nerves."

He expected Xu Qinghuan to refuse it slightly, but unexpectedly, Xu Qinghuan promptly accepted it and then tossed him a watch, seven or eight tenths new, an imported plum blossom watch.

Jiang Chengxu recognized the watch, watching from a distance with his pupils slightly contracting.

"This is the watch bought when the Xu family and Jiang family were engaged. I already returned the Jiang family’s ladies’ watch to Jiang Chengxu. I’ll take just five hundred for this men’s watch. Honestly, it’s filthy, giving it away for free, no one wants it, holding onto it is a loss!"

It’s annoying to hold onto!

Xu Qinghuan slapped the watch down into Jiang Chengshu’s hand.

Huo Chi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Five hundred yuan, not expensive, right?"

"Not expensive, not expensive, how could it be!" Jiang Chengshu laughed it off.

Once Huo Chi and the four others distanced themselves through the ticket gate, he angrily went forward, kicking Jiang Chengxu, "What crazy thing did you do today? Why provoke them? The engagement’s off, why act like a hooligan, not embarrassed enough?"

Jiang Chengxu dared not resist, struggling to get up. He glanced toward the platform, feeling deeply unfulfilled.

The train bound for Hei Province clicked away, Jiang Chengxu visited the Army General Hospital, where Master Jiang lay pale in bed, age spots increasingly visible, the hospital gown overshadowing his radiance, revealing his frailness.

"You’re here? Have a seat!" Master Jiang directed Jiang Chengshu, "Did your brother eat yet? Pour him a cup of water."

"Yes, Grandpa!"

Though he was also the grandson of old Master Jiang, Jiang Chengxu felt only unfamiliarity, sensing nothing but alienation. His heart full of ridicule, but now seeking something from the Jiang family, he had to act obsequiously and play the role of a genuine grandson.

"Your father is unreliable, now with your branch, you are my only hope." Master Jiang said, "The Huo family acknowledged Xu Qinghuan as their goddaughter. If it weren’t for the current difficult situation, preventing grand ceremonies, I reckon the Huo family would wish to let the whole world know..."

Before Master Jiang finished speaking, Jiang Chengshu, holding a newspaper, exclaimed in surprise.

"What?"

Jiang Chengshu handed over the newspaper, "This is today’s Yan City Daily. The Huo family declared in the newspaper, acknowledging Xu Qinghuan as their daughter."

Master Jiang was immensely shocked, hurriedly taking the newspaper to quickly scan it. The Huo family disclosed only Xu Qinghuan’s father’s identity and informed, Xu Qinghuan was currently the Huo family’s sole daughter.

The Huo family was showing great importance.

Master Jiang’s gaze toward Jiang Chengxu became sharp, "How did your engagement get nullified, is there any possibility of rekindling it?"

Although it sounded like a question, his tone carried a hint of coercion.

Jiang Chengxu felt somewhat dejected, "Grandpa, she’s already engaged to someone else."

"Isn’t it just some rural scoundrel? You are a descendant of the Jiang family, do you really lack confidence, unable to sort out a seventeen-year-old girl?"

Jiang Chengshu, sitting aside, fanned the flames, "I could see today you still harbor feelings for her. If you like her, don’t let go. That girl is grace incarnate, really lucky for you!"

After he spoke, he gave a brotherly punch to Jiang Chengxu, though the force was a bit too strong.

Caught off guard, Jiang Chengxu stumbled, not seeing the fleeting look of disappointment in Master Jiang’s eyes.

Fragile!

Indeed, unfit for heavy responsibilities.

"Put this matter aside for now, let’s discuss other things, Chengshu, your brother probably hasn’t eaten yet, go buy him some food."

Jiang Chengshu knew there were some words he shouldn’t hear, so he agreed and left the hospital room.

"Speak up!" Master Jiang demanded, "What do you know?"

Jiang Chengshu hesitated for a while, but under the increasingly heavy gaze of Master Jiang, he had to confess, "Grandpa, Zheng Qianxia’s real name is Zhenai Qianxia!"

Boom!

Even though Jiang Zhenguo spent half his life in the military, experiencing countless threats, blood and fire trials, he couldn’t accept this news.

"Jiang Chengxu, don’t joke about this kind of matter!"

"Grandpa, I’m not joking, I..."

"Who told you Zheng Qianxia’s name?" At this moment, despite wearing patient clothes, the imposing aura of Master Jiang was still overwhelming.

Clearly, he was truly anxious, his throat itching with agitation, his circulation rising, a bloody taste spreading in his mouth.

But he held back, glaring at Jiang Chengxu, not missing any expression on his face.

"Grandpa, I..." Jiang Chengxu closed his eyes briefly, "I had a dream, a long dream, as if I lived a lifetime. In the dream, the Jiang family nearly collapsed because of this matter."

Master Jiang whispered his lips, "What sort of dream was it, tell me clearly bit by bit."

"In the dream, things were different from now. I married Xu Qinghuan, my father didn’t encounter an incident, everything went smoothly, later I entered the political realm, then I got transferred to Yan City, back then in that position, I learned of this matter, sent the news back ahead of time, Grandpa destroyed the evidence..."

"What evidence?" Master Jiang asked.
