Not that simple?
The Northern and Southern Elders did not think so.
The young lady's thoughts were still too optimistic.
...
A day passed quickly, and the matter between the Zhou family and Chen Jie had become the talk of the town.
Many people were paying attention to this matter.
However, the Zhou family remained conspicuously silent.
But some people did not believe that the matter would just end like this. It was impossible for the Zhou family to gain a foothold in Pingcheng in the future without dealing with Chen Jie.
As the three-day appointment approached, the entire Jiang family was in turmoil, as if a storm was brewing.
"Chen Jie hasn't left his room for two days?"
In Jiang Long's house, Jiang Long asked Jiang Xue with concern.
"Dad, he hasn't come out since he went upstairs yesterday. He hasn't even touched the meals left at the door." Jiang Xue said.
Wu Li, who was applying a facial mask, said indifferently, "Why are you so worried about him? Didn't the Zhou family make a move?"
"Alas, I've found out the Zhou family's attitude. They won't let this go so easily. They seem to have big plans for the three-day appointment," Jiang Long said with a worried frown. kuAiδugg
"So what if they have big plans! It has nothing to do with us!" Wu Li said dismissively.
After drinking the prescription given by Chen Jie, Wu Li's wounds not only healed completely, but most of the scars also disappeared.
She was in a good mood.
"Could Chen Jie have given up on himself? I'll go call him down for dinner." Jiang Long said worriedly.
"Why call him? It's better if he dies in his room. We can just send him to the Zhou family to appease their anger," Wu Li sneered.
Jiang Long had no energy to scold her. He walked to Chen Jie's door with heavy steps.
Knock, knock, knock...
Jiang Long knocked on the door.
Chen Jie, who was meditating and cultivating, frowned and opened his eyes. "Uncle Jiang, is something wrong?"
Chen Jie's voice was full of vigor, not at all like someone who hadn't eaten.
In fact, with his strength, not eating or drinking for a week would not have much impact.
Jiang Long breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Chen Jie, don't hide in your room. Come down and have dinner with us. If you have any difficulties, we can figure them out together. You won't solve anything by acting like this."
Chen Jie knew he had misunderstood him, but he didn't explain. He was at a critical juncture in his cultivation.
So he said, "Uncle Jiang, you don't need to worry about me. Tomorrow is the three-day appointment, and it's also the Zhou family's end. Before that, you should do whatever you need to do. Don't mind me."
Jiang Long was stunned for a moment, then sighed deeply.
A moment later, he placed another plate of food at the door. "Chen Jie, don't worry, Uncle will not abandon you. Come out and eat, and leave the rest to me!"
"Uncle Jiang, just leave the food there. You don't have to do anything," Chen Jie said.
"Alright."
Jiang Long clenched his fist, and a look of determination appeared in his eyes.
He went downstairs, grabbed his car keys, and walked out.
"Dad, where are you going?" Jiang Xue called out.
"I have something to do. Eat by yourselves, don't wait for me." Jiang Long said, then walked out quickly.
Watching Jiang Long's departing back, a look of heartache appeared on Jiang Xue's pretty face. She then glared at the room upstairs resentfully, blaming this guy for bringing trouble to their family!
Jiang Long's car stopped in front of the Yang family's residence in Pingcheng.
Jiang Long hesitated for a moment, got out of the car, and then rang the doorbell of the Yang family's villa.
"Who are you?" Yang Wanli, the Yang family's butler, came out and looked at Jiang Long with confusion.
Jiang Long said, "I am Chen Jie's uncle. I've come this time for a favor..."
"No need to say more!"
Before he could finish, Yang Wanli waved his hand and said, "My young lady knows what you mean. The Zhou family is not someone our Yang family can afford to offend. Go back and tell Chen Jie to come to our Yang family after he survives tomorrow!"
"But..."
Bang!
The door was directly closed, and Jiang Long was shut out.
Half an hour later, Jiang Long appeared in front of the Zhang family's residence.
"Our young lady asked me to convey a message for you. We can't afford to provoke the Zhou family. We've already done our best to help Chen Jie earlier! Tell Chen Jie to come after tomorrow!"
Bang!
Jiang Long was shut out again.
An hour later, Jiang Long, exhausted, found Wang Corporation.
"Do you think you can just meet our President Wang whenever you want? Go on, get out of here quickly!"
...
Jiang Long left Wang Corporation and found Jiang Jun of the Jiang family.
"What? You want me to plead with the Zhou family for Chen Jie?" Jiang Jun asked in disbelief.
Jiang Long nodded.
Jiang Jun asked confusedly, "Doesn't he have the Wang family backing him?"
Jiang Long said bitterly, "Dad, the young lady of the Wang family wants to test Chen Jie. If Chen Jie can survive this crisis, she will fulfill their engagement."
"As long as our Jiang family helps Chen Jie, he will definitely remember us if he becomes the son-in-law of the Wang family in the future. Please help him this once!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jun burst into laughter.
His eyes were filled with malice. "The little beast has a day like this?"
"Dad..." Jiang Long's body stiffened.
Jiang Jun grabbed his collar and said viciously, "You crippled my precious grandson in front of me, and you expect me to help him become the son-in-law of the Wang family? You ungrateful dog! I'll beat you to death!"
Jiang Jun hit Jiang Long a few times with his cane, then shouted, "Get lost! It's better if Chen Jie dies. As for becoming the son-in-law of the Wang family, dream on! After Zhou Renyi's anger is vented, I'll settle the score with you first!"
Jiang Long left the Jiang family in a sorry state, muttering, "No, I can't just let Brother Chen's son die like this!"
Thinking of this, he went directly to the Zhou family.
With a thud, he knelt directly in front of the Zhou family's gate.
"Where did this beggar come from? Get lost! The door of our Zhou family is not a place you can just kneel at!" Someone immediately came to drive Jiang Long away.
"I, Jiang Long, beg the Zhou family head to spare Chen Jie's life!" Jiang Long kowtowed.
"So it's someone begging for that bastard! No way! Our family head has already declared that Chen Jie will die tomorrow! Beat him!"
A group of security guards, after confirming Jiang Long's identity, immediately began to beat him.
Jiang Long endured the pain and cried out, "I, Jiang Long, am willing to trade my life for Chen Jie's life!"
At this moment, Zhou Tongtong and Zhou Wei came out.
They burst into laughter and spat at Jiang Long. "You old dog who doesn't know your place, begging for mercy at my Zhou family's door, it's hilarious!"
"Young Master Zhou, Miss Zhou, please be magnanimous and let Chen Jie go!" Jiang Long said bitterly.
"Beat him to death! Throw him on the street so that everyone knows the consequences of provoking our Zhou family!" Zhou Tongtong said with her arms crossed, sneering.
"Yes!" A group of security guards nodded.
Just as they were about to act, Zhou Wei suddenly said, "Wait!"
"Brother?" Zhou Tongtong looked at Zhou Wei in confusion.
Zhou Wei smiled and took a dagger from his pocket.
He then pushed his wheelchair to Jiang Long and handed it to him, saying, "Old dog, you want to save Chen Jie, don't you? I'll give you a chance. Stab yourself to show me your sincerity."
