Jiang Zhihan didn’t know that Song Qingyou was going to give him a big gift.

After learning that the other party had accepted the necklace, he even asked

Fang Yan for some details.

For example, how was Song Qingyou’s mood?

Fang Yan did not understand. “Her mood… I’m sorry, Mr. Jiang. I can’t tell.”

“Was she anxious?”

“No, I didn’t think so?”

Jiang Zhihan felt slightly relieved.

Fang Yan did not hear a response and continued to report,

“I was worried that Miss Song wouldn’t accept such an expensive gift, so I didn’t tell her what it was. I even said that the company would give gifts to our partners during the holidays…”

In the end, he was worried that Jiang Zhihan would get angry.

But that was impossible. After all, the latter knew Song Qingyou’s personality better.

“You did the right thing.” Jiang Zhihan said, “Prepare an extra gift for every holiday.”

“Is it the same as everyone else’s, or-”

“We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”

Even though Jiang Zhihan knew that the Celebrity Impact Rankings would be released once every three months, he couldn’t be sure if Song Qingyou’s fall in ranking would affect his waking up time.

“Also, there’s one more thing.”

Fang Yan paused for a moment, feeling that this matter might be the most important.

“Before I left, Miss Song suddenly asked me if you just woke up today…”

“Then how did you answer?”

Jiang Zhihan couldn’t help but interrupt.

Song Qingyou must have thought that he had something to do with Zhizhi’s coma.

His tone instantly became sharp, making Fang Yan feel shocked. A few seconds later, he came back to his senses.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t reveal your physical condition.”

Jiang Zhihan heaved a sigh of relief, “Continue.”

“Miss Song seems to believe it… However, I don’t know how Miss Song found out that you only woke up today. Should we investigate and monitor…”

“No need.”

Jiang Zhihan rejected the suggestion without hesitation.

He was right next to Song Qingyou, so why would he need to monitor her?

“But only the doctor and I know about your condition…” Fang Yan was puzzled.

“I accidentally revealed it last time.” Jiang Zhihan said, “If she asks again, don’t do anything unnecessary. Just keep it a secret.”

Before he could finish his sentence, a voice suddenly came from behind the bushes.

“What secret? Zhihan, who are you talking to?”

Jiang Zhihan hung up the phone. “I’m talking to Assistant Fang.”

“Why is Grandpa here?”

A white-haired old man walked out. His originally dignified expression softened a little when he saw his grandson.

“The banquet has already started, but I didn’t see you anywhere. I could only look for you in the garden.”

He raised his hand, and the butler behind him took a few steps back to give the grandfather and grandson some space to talk.

“What were you talking to your assistant about? What do you want to keep a secret?”

“It’s something at the company.” Jiang Zhihan knew that the old man wasn’t easy to fool, so he found an excuse, “I told Fang Yan to keep it a secret from Father.”

“It should be kept a secret.”

The old man’s expression was unfriendly. “Since you’re in charge of the company, don’t give your father a chance! He was bewitched by that woman. If I hadn’t asked the butler to call him today, he wouldn’t have planned to come back!”

‘That woman’ the old man was talking about was Jiang Quan’s second wife, Dong Xi.

Dong Xi was only three years older than Jiang Zhihan. She was a model and a mistress.

The old master had always looked down on her. If it wasn’t for Jiang Quan threatening him with his death and causing a huge commotion, Dong Xi wouldn’t have been able to enter the Jiang family.

The reason why Jiang Zhihan hated Dong Xi was that Dong Xi was after the Jiang family’s assets, and Jiang Quan brought Dong Xi into his family less than a month after Xu Ruzhi (Jiang Zhihan’s mother) died.

Even if the two of them had just gotten married, Jiang Quan should not have done this!

“Grandpa, don’t be angry.”

Jiang Zhihan stepped forward to help the old man.

He wanted the old man to ignore Jiang Quan’s life, but Jiang Quan was the old man’s son. If Jiang Zhihan said that, he would be making things difficult for the old man.

Moreover, he might even be pointed at by his grandpa and scolded for being unfilial.

When the two of them returned to the banquet hall, many people looked over.

The Jiang family invited not only relatives but also close business partners.

Jiang Quan emerged from the crowd and criticized Jiang Zhihan, “How old are you? Don’t you know that you have to entertain the guests well at the banquet? You actually want your grandfather to go out and look for you personally. I think you’re really getting worse and worse!”

The scantily dressed beautiful woman held his arm and leaned against him as if she had no bones.

“Hubby, don’t say that. Zhihan definitely didn’t do it on purpose. He must have something to deal with at the company. Can’t we just help him entertain the guests?”

“Why are you still speaking up for him? This brat didn’t even greet you! He has no manners at all!”

“You know I don’t mind this…”

These two people had been like this since the beginning, parroting and echoing each other.

Those who didn’t know better would think that they had a good relationship.

Jiang Zhihan didn’t even flinch.

He turned his head and gave the butler a look.

The butler immediately stepped forward. “Madam, do you have an invitation to this banquet?”

Dong Xi’s face turned pale. How could she have an invitation? Wasn’t this a family banquet? She grabbed Jiang Quan’s sleeve aggrievedly. “Hubby, I…”

“We’re all family. Why do we need an invitation?” Jiang Quan hugged her, his face full of displeasure.

“If you don’t have an invitation, please leave!” The butler said coldly.

“What is the meaning of this?” Jiang Quan snapped, “Jiang Zhihan! You must have ordered this! Are you looking down on me, your father?”

Jiang Zhihan couldn’t be bothered to listen to their nonsense. “Ask the security guards to take her away,” he ordered.

“Jiang Zhihan!” Jiang Quan stomped his feet in anger. “Dad! Look at your grandson. He doesn’t even put me in his eyes!”

Old Master Jiang sat down and said firmly, “For the Jiang family banquet, you can’t enter without an invitation. This is the rule.”

Jiang Quan still wanted to say something, but he was frightened back by the old man’s gaze.

He knew that there was no room for negotiation, so he flung his sleeves and turned to leave angrily.

“I don’t have an invitation either. Then I’ll follow!”

“Sir?” The butler looked at the old man.

Jiang Zhihan said, “Don’t worry about them.”

He watched Jiang Quan leave, his dark green eyes like a frozen lake.

After so many years, he had long lost all hope for this person.

The old man didn’t say anything.

After the commotion had subsided, he said, “It’s fine that you chased that woman out, but why did you let your father leave with her? What will outsiders say about you behind your back?”

Jiang Zhihan didn’t respond.

He knew that the old man wanted the father and son to reconcile.

However, Jiang Quan had let his mother down and disappointed him again and again. He would not get along with him no matter what.

Moreover, his mother had died because of him.

Old Master Jiang sighed.

“You guys! Why do biological father and son have to fight like this?”

“Your father is the same. He only has you as his son.. He doesn’t know how to treat you better…”
