Chapter 1579: Chapter 1579: Exploitation

In the room, the old man’s cough echoed one after another, weak and seemingly about to pass out at any moment.

The man standing beside observed coldly, completely unmoved.

Do I hate him?

He no longer remembers what hatred feels like; perhaps he once did.

Probably every young person experiences a period of childishness, but once he freed himself from that, his vision naturally broadened.

Only the weak are driven by hatred, while the strong seek to control everything, including their own destiny and others’.

He said indifferently, "Looks like you regret letting me into the Jiang Family back then?"

The old sir covered his mouth, stopped coughing, and said, "Rather than handing the Jiang Family to mediocre individuals, it’s better to pass it to someone capable. Heroes don’t ask about origins, not to mention you have the Jiang surname. Your father was mediocre his whole life, but fortunately, he gave birth to you, which counts as a contribution to the Jiang Family."

Jiang Jingheng’s gaze sharpened, "So you used Mu Yan to disrupt my plans?"

"I told you long ago, a successful person must never have a weak spot. Yours is too obvious. I’m old, wealth is already external to me. All I want is the Jiang Family’s prosperity in my lifetime. The shares will eventually be yours, so why not give them to you early?"

The old sir began to cough violently again, "I know you’re not interested in the shares I’m giving, but this is a gift from an elder, and it cannot be refused. Mu Yan didn’t disappoint either, knowing to protect her husband’s interests while preventing a bloody storm in the transition of power."

Jiang Jingheng’s lips curled suddenly, but that smile didn’t reach his eyes, "Then we should really thank you for your kindness."

The old sir suddenly sighed, "Jing Heng, your nature is too rigid, even if it costs you dearly to hurt your enemies, you are willing. I always worried no one could restrain you. Now with that child by your side..."

"If you dare to scheme against her again, don’t blame me for being impolite." Jiang Jingheng interrupted him, his gaze sharp, as if he was staring a hole into him.

Downstairs, Mu Yan took a sip of juice, feeling a bit bored, she started browsing Weibo on her phone.

For the past couple of days, she had been cozying up with Jiang Jingheng, hadn’t been online, and had barely touched her phone.

She never liked playing on her phone, and since getting pregnant, she used it even less.

Unexpectedly, their whereabouts in the small town were leaked, captured by a passerby and posted online, attracting quite a bit of attention.

The photos captured only their backs and profiles, at sunset, holding hands and walking by the fields, amidst flourishing golden sunflowers, seemingly bathed in a soft golden glow.

"Mu Yan just declared their relationship was fine, and then got photographed traveling together. I feel there’s a conspiracy here, so fake."

"I heard Jiang Jingheng has been missing for a long time. Looks like Mu Yan retrieved him. I wonder if they truly reconciled or if it’s just a show!"

"Whether their relationship is good or bad, you criticize them. Your mentality is really dark."

"If even relationships between these matching families can’t last, I really don’t know how to believe in love anymore."

...

Mu Yan saw many fans asking under her Weibo if she and Jiang Jingheng went on a trip, and some were comforting her not to mind the haters, wishing her and Jiang Jingheng a long-lasting relationship.

She thought for a moment and posted a Weibo.
