Seeing Tang Chuchu's joy, Jiang Chen also rejoiced.
"Chen, I can go home! I can go home!"
Tang Chuchu cheered continuously, like a little girl who had been punished and had been forgiven by her family.
Jiang Chen said nothing, simply hugged her tightly.
After learning Tang Chuchu's location, Tang Hai drove to Kowloon Street.
Many members of the Tang family were also accompanying them.
Tang Hai's son, Tang Lei, and his wife, Li Yao.
Tang Hai's daughter, Tang Mengying.
Tang Hai had long served as the executive director of Tang Jia Yongle, and he drove a valuable car: a BMW 7 Series worth millions.
In the car, Tang Lei complained, "Grandpa, what's going on? How can we let Tang Chuchu go home? Dad, if Tang Chuchu comes home, you'll definitely give up your position as Executive Chairman. We can't let Tang Chuchu go home."
His wife, Li Yao, chimed in, "Yeah, how can we let Tang Chuchu be Executive Chairman? If she becomes Chairman, how can our family profit from the company? I don't know how Tang Chuchu even met Chairman Qianjun."
Tang Mengying interjected, "There's rumors out there that Tang Chuchu is Ye Xiong's lover."
Tang Hai interrupted everyone, saying, "Alright, everyone, cut the crap. Let's get Tang Chuchu back first and stabilize Qianjun Group. This is a 100 million yuan order, and we'll make a net profit of 20 million yuan once it's completed!"
Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the Mortal Clinic.
The group got out.
Tang Chuchu was overjoyed to learn that Tang Hai was coming to pick her up personally, and she arrived outside early to wait.
Seeing Tang Hai's car, she excitedly grabbed Jiang Chen's hand, "It's really you, Uncle. It's really you, Chen. I can go home."
"Yes, I can go home." Jiang Chen smiled. Seeing Tang Chuchu happy, he was happy too.
After getting out of the car, Tang Hai smiled brightly and said, "Chuchu, your grandfather asked me to pick you up."
Seeing Tang Chuchu, the rest of the Tang family frowned.
It was this unlucky star who nearly brought the Tang family to ruin. Fortunately, God has blessed us, otherwise the Tang family would have been finished.
Tang Lei said arrogantly, "Tang Chuchu, my dad said a lot of good things to Grandpa to get you home. Why don't you kneel down and thank him?"
"Thank you, Uncle, for speaking up for me," Tang Chuchu said, about to kneel.
But Jiang Chen grabbed her, pulling her up from her bent position.
"Chen, what are you doing?" Tang Chuchu's face was filled with discontent.
Tang Lei, seeing this, also grew furious. He coldly demanded, "Jiang Chen, you're meeting the future head of the Tang family, why don't you kneel? Are there any family rules?"
"Kneel?" Jiang Chen said flatly. "Does he deserve to? He said all these nice things. If Qianjun Group hadn't canceled its cooperation with the Tang family, would you have come looking for Chuchu? Go back and tell Tang Tianlong that Chuchu isn't coming back to the Tang family."
Tang Chuchu was about to accuse Jiang Chen, but after hearing his words, she couldn't help but ask, "Chen, what's going on? Qianjun canceled its cooperation with the Tang family?"
Jiang Chen explained, "I just saw the news. Ye Xiong held a press conference and canceled his cooperation with the Tang family. Ye Xiong said that Qianjun would only cooperate with the Tang family as long as Tang Chuchu was there. Since the Tang family expelled you, Qianjun naturally wouldn't cooperate with them anymore. That's why the Tang family panicked and rushed to take you back."
After learning the whole story, Tang Chuchu's resentment instantly welled up.
She had thought her grandfather truly loved her, but she hadn't expected this to be the reason. She was so aggrieved that she almost cried.
Jiang Chen pulled her toward the clinic.
Seeing this, Tang Hai panicked and said hastily, "Chuchu, you can't not go back. Grandpa's old and can't handle the torment. Do you want Dad to come pick you up in person before you'll go back?"
Tang Chuchu's heart softened. Thinking of her grandfather, who was almost eighty years old, she stopped and looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen knew that what Tang Chuchu cared about most was her family's opinion.
Because she had been looked down upon for the past ten years, she dreamed of gaining her family's approval.
"Chuchu, do you want to go back?"
Tang Chuchu nodded gently, "Yes."
Jiang Chen looked at the Tang Hai family at the door and said calmly, "Chuchu can go back, but you have to kneel down and beg her to come back."
"Jiang Chen..." Tang Lei was instantly furious, veins bulging on his face as he cursed, "You're just a dog of the Tang family. Chuchu hasn't said anything, so why are you yelling?"
Jiang Chen said calmly, "If you don't kneel, then let Tang Tianlong come and invite Chuchu personally. Otherwise, Chuchu won't go back."
Tang Chuchu gently tugged at Jiang Chen's clothes, signaling him to speak less. They were all family, and she didn't want to make things awkward.
"Chuchu, you're too soft-hearted. They're begging you to go back now, not you asking. If you have any requests, just tell them. They'll agree."
"Is this true?"
"Of course. Where did your shrewdness go? Qianjun canceled the partnership with Yongle. This is a loss for the Tang family. The Tang family can't afford to lose you. Think about it quickly. What are your requests?"
Tang Chuchu finally understood.
She had been confused for the past few days, and only now, after Jiang Chen spoke, did she finally understand.
For years, her father had been looked down upon by the family and held no status at home.
Although he was the manager of the group, he didn't own any shares.
Her parents had argued countless times over this.
She thought for a moment and said, "You can go back. Go back and tell Grandpa to give my father 10% of the shares in Yongle Group. If he agrees, I'll go back. If he doesn't, I won't. And he has to kneel down."
Tang Chuchu pointed at Tang Lei.
Over the years, she'd been bullied by Tang Lei, who had caused her so much trouble. Even at family banquets, he'd often criticize her father.
"What?" Tang Lei's eyes widened.
"Pa."
Tang Hai slapped Tang Lei on the forehead and angrily shouted, "Kneel down and apologize to Chu Chu."
"Dad, are you kidding me? You want me to kneel down before her?" Tang Lei yelled.
Tang Hai slapped him again, winking at him and whispering, "Kneel down! Do you want the family to give Tang Bo a 10% stake?"
Hearing this, Tang Lei understood and immediately knelt on the ground, a mournful look on his face. "Sister Chuchu, I was wrong. I was wrong before. I promise I won't say that to you again. Please, come home. Grandpa's 80th birthday is coming soon. Can't we have a good family reunion?"
Before Tang Chuchu could say anything, Jiang Chen spoke up, "No! Chuchu already said she agrees to the shares. If she doesn't, she won't. Xiaohei, close the shop. We're closed today."
With that, he dragged Tang Chuchu into the clinic.
Xiaohei approached and pulled down the clinic's roller shutter.
In the clinic, Tang Chuchu's face was filled with worry. "Chen, will Grandpa really give Dad shares?"
Jiang Chen affirmed, "As long as you don't go back, Grandpa will. Don't be soft-hearted this time."
Hearing this, Tang Chuchu smiled with relief and said, "This way, Mom won't look down on Dad anymore, and Dad's status in the family will skyrocket. Chen, thank you."
Jiang Chen cupped her face and said, "Why are you thanking me? This has nothing to do with me. If you want to thank someone, thank Ye Xiong."
Tang Chuchu was confused again.
She didn't know Ye Xiong, the chairman of Qianjun, so why was he so kind to her?
