Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!-Chapter 644 - 594: The Overseas Jiang Family? (3)

Du Mansheng brought in a plate of freshly cut fruit, feeling her heart soften at the harmonious atmosphere.

After listening to Xiaoxiao’s retelling of events, she felt even happier.

Fortunately, her father’s foresight was spot on, predicting that following President Yue would be rewarding, and decisively merged their business under President Yue’s company.

Yesterday, she looked at the financial statements from Yu Xing, and with President Yue’s resources, the income and reputation have increased several levels from before!

President Yue is so formidable, her mother, the legendary Madam Jiang Yu, must be even more extraordinary!

Jiang.

Jiang Family?

It seems no Jiang Family is known to have such "deep roots" domestically.

It wasn’t just Du Mansheng who was puzzled; the video revealing the truth spread rapidly, like a boulder thrown into a tranquil lake, its ripples quickly spreading through the high-society circle, attracting attention.

In the Imperial City, several elderly gentlemen, with hair like snow who have witnessed half a century’s worth of upheaval, gathered in a tea room, sipping tea.

Li Group’s head, Li Hong, held his teacup, his brow furrowed: "Old Zhao, Old Chen, have you noticed what’s being said online? That Yan Family girl mentioned her mother, Madam Jiang Yu, at the end of the video... and also talked about a ’belief legacy.’ Do you have any impression of this Jiang Yu?"

The elder referred to as Old Zhao thought carefully, a trace of distant memory emerging: "Jiang Yu... Jiang? Hiss... This surname reminds me of an almost forgotten name—the Jiang Family."

"Jiang Family?" The other elder, surnamed Chen, leaned in closer, "Which Jiang Family?"

"Which one else could it be?" Old Zhao took a sip of his drink, his tone carrying an indescribable reverence, "It’s the same Jiang Family that, at the founding of the nation, donated almost all their assets to the state, then moved overseas with the entire family, disappearing without a trace!"

He struggled to remember, but he only knew of this through occasional mentions by his father.

The details were already very hazy.

"Right! Yes! It seems that was the case!" Li Hong also recalled something, "They donated more than half their fortune, claiming it was to support national construction, and then vanished completely from the international stage. After all these years, not a ripple... Everyone almost forgot."

Elder Chen was even more puzzled: "You mean... this Jiang Yu might be someone from that Jiang Family? Then Yan Yueqing would be...?"

"Hard to say." Old Zhao shook his head, "The Jiang Family left completely back then, what they took or where they went, what they became, is entirely a mystery. There are rumors they have long declined overseas, but others say... they are bafflingly low-key, yet truly unfathomable!" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Indeed, a lack of news is the most bewildering of all. Yan Yueqing, this girl, acts decisively and ruthlessly, with some flavors of strategic moves reminiscent of the Jun Residence... If she dares mention ’Jiang Yu’ at this moment, it is definitely not baseless..."

Jun Lii is elusive and rarely seen, but Jun Yan, as the next successor of the Jun Residence, is known by many from prestigious families. His appearance next to Yan Yueqing, repeatedly calling her "Mom," reveals insights the savvy can decipher.

"Whether Yan Yueqing has any connection with the Jiang Family, we can’t be sure, but—"

Elder Chen took a sip of tea, kindly reminding: "Old Zhao, your nephew has leveraged the Zhao Family’s power to target Yan Yueqing for quite a while now..."

He didn’t elaborate, but Old Zhao, astute as he is, naturally understood the underlying hint.

"Thanks for letting me know."

The group of elderly "ginseng" brought their conversation to an end, each enjoying their tea in a harmonious atmosphere.

By contrast, the mood in another conference room was much more solemn.

The small, smart conference room, with clear confidentiality, seemed designed specifically for important projects.

Tan Ming’s face was gloomy, sitting at the head of the table in silence.

A young analyst, Xiao Li, looked at the compiled information on public opinion and project data on the computer, his voice trembling slightly: "Mr. Tan, President Liu... after the video spread, the public opinion completely reversed, and Yan Yueqing’s personal reputation skyrocketed. What’s more important is, now the elite circle is circulating... that she might have a connection with the Jiang Family, which disappeared decades ago! The one... that donated their assets and went overseas."

"Hmph! Jiang Family? Just an old, outdated family name!" Tan Ming slammed the table, looking restless, "Who knows if Yan Yueqing is making things up using a deceased name as a shield? We’ve invested so much upfront to suppress Zhongxing and Xingyue; now withdraw? Who will bear the losses? Where’s our face?"
