Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled-Chapter 1135 - 926: The Aristocratic Family Reunion Banquet
At the end of March, the day before the family reunion banquet.
The father and grandfather of Jiang Peiyaoβs adopted second daughter, Jiang Wangchu, came to visit. ππππ¦ππππππ·ππ.πΈπ°π
Previously, because Jiang Wangchuβs mother was a foot bath worker and a rather calculating one at that.
The family of Jiang Wangchuβs father had never regarded her as a daughter.
They merely saw her as a wild girl born outside, such a background made her unworthy of being accepted into their family.
What they never expected was that in mid-March, Jiang Wangchu was unexpectedly recognized by the Modu Chen Family for a family reunion banquet.
The founder of the Chen Family wanted to acknowledge her as his goddaughter. Jiang Wangchuβs first thought was, why her?
She was just a foot bath workerβs daughter, yet she could be recognized as the Chen Familyβs adopted daughter?
Investigating the matter, they had to start from the adoptive mother, Jiang Peiyao, who had adopted the girls.
What surprised Jiang Wangchuβs father even more was that the person who adopted his daughter had an extraordinary identity.
It was rumored that there was some inexplicable relationship with the Chen Family founder, and her final wish was for him to take care of her two adopted daughters.
The relationships werenβt complicated, and wealthy families could easily find out the truth.
This also surprised Jiang Wangchuβs father, making him believe that his daughter was truly fortunate, destined for wealth and prosperity.
This was why she was acknowledged by the Chen Family and was having a grand family reunion banquet to announce her status as the Chen Familyβs adopted daughter.
With this identity, she transformed from a crow to a phoenix.
For ordinary people, thatβs out of reach; even for powerful families like theirs, itβs insurmountable.
The Modu Chen Family, to ordinary people, is just a wealthy family, but to elite families, it remains a legend.
An untouchable existence.
Jiang Wangchuβs biological father, Lin Bin, already had a wife, and it was a family-arranged marriage.
He also enjoyed fooling around outside, having been with countless women; some smart ones could get a considerable amount of money from him over time.
Other women, like Jiang Wangchuβs mother, relied on a bit of beauty to sleep with him, and later tried using the child to make money.
Quickly abandoned by him, Lin Bin never imagined that one day his daughter would be recognized by the Modu Chen Family.
What an honor that was.
Lin Bin didnβt choose to hide it from his wife; the Modu Chen Familyβs movements were grand, and many people would investigate the two girlsβ backgrounds.
Using a bit of tactics, they could trace it back to him. Rather than being passive, it was better to admit it openly, allowing the family to make a quicker decision.
Lin Binβs wife, upon hearing this, wasnβt angry and even urged Lin Bin to quickly recognize Jiang Wangchu as part of the Lin Family before the Chen Family reunion banquet.
This way, they could use it to get closer to the Modu Chen Family, even if they couldnβt; the Chen Familyβs adopted daughter was from their Lin Family.
Once this news spread, it would still greatly benefit their Lin Family.
This resulted in Lin Bin and the Lin Family elder visiting them together.
Jiang Wangchu had been raised by Jiang Peiyao since she was two and was taken to see her father from afar on several occasions.
Young Jiang Wangchu had once run up to her father and asked, "Why donβt you acknowledge me as your daughter?"
The answer she received left her closed off for a long time.
It was under Jiang Peiyaoβs careful care that she grew up to be who she is now.
Even after her passing, her adoptive mother had arranged everything for them.
Jiang Peiyao never asked them to call her "mother"; rather, she asked them to call her "Aunt Peiyao" or "adoptive mother".
This was to let them know that they both had biological parents.
They werenβt children without a father or mother.
And now, the father who never wanted to acknowledge her, even despised her greatly, had taken the initiative to visit.
Anβan found it difficult to handle this situation, but she also advised Jiang Wangchu to do as she felt was right.
The Modu Chen Family would be her greatest courage moving forward.
Jiang Wangchu did not go to see Lin Bin; at the moment Jiang Peiyao was buried, she engraved on the tomb, "Daughter Jiang Wangchu leaves".
For this life, she would only bear the surname Jiang and carry on Jiang Peiyaoβs wishes.
The Lin Family, to her, was a stranger.
Since Jiang Wangchu had made her decision, Anβan naturally notified the Lin Family not to come anymore; going forward, Jiang Wangchu would only have one identity.
That is as the goddaughter of her father, and her sister.
The Lin Family canβt reach that high, nor do they have the right to curry favor.
The message was clear, and Lin Bin didnβt dare to say anything.
Rushing to go against Anβanβs decision would take more courage than the Lin Family possessed.
As for Jiang Wangzhiβs gambling father and unworthy mother, the Chen Family could easily handle them.
Letting them continue to wreak havoc elsewhere would merely tarnish Jiang Wangzhiβs future credentials.
Anβan found a reason without much effort, ensuring the two wouldnβt be able to get out for the next ten years.
People like them donβt deserve to be parents.
Not to mention now trying to attach themselves to her sister.
The sisters, the day before the reunion banquet, burned incense for Jiang Peiyao again and had half an hour of private conversation.
To them, Jiang Peiyao was the woman they genuinely owed lifelong gratitude.
Itβs just a pity she left before they grew up.
For the magnates, and the distinguished in society, the family reunion banquet wasnβt about the two girls returning.
It was about Chen Pingsheng, this legendary figure, returning as the Chen Family patriarch for the first time in five years.
What changes his reappearance would bring to the Modu Chen Family, and the ten-year cycle on Research Island reaching its end.
The next decade, what kind of development strategy would Research Island set, and which major fields would it support.
These were the issues the elite cared most about, needless to say, Chen Pingshengβs reappearance exerted influence over countless people.
He could change numerous aspects of lower and upper-tier technology fields with just a word or two.
This was the vast influence of the founder of the Modu Chen Family, the primary reason everyone flocked to attend.
Before the banquet began, naturally, there was the grand entrance of Jiang Wangchu and Jiang Wangzhi.
After which, they received countless gifts from elites, all acknowledging gifts for the sisters.
Once the basic procedures were completed, hundreds of elite families and countless reporters started vying for front positions.
Because what followed was crucial, it was Chen Pingshengβs first public speech in over a decade.
And the theme of this speech targeted both Tengying Group and the pivotal Research Island, the head of the domestic economic field.
The reporters attending this banquet were, without a doubt, influential figures in finance or multiple fields.
Including the already well-known Mu Qingqing.
It was the first time in years she had seen the founder of the Chen Family.
The last time she saw him, he was just a regular employee at her cousinβs company.
Seeing him now, he had reclaimed his status, standing atop Magic City.
Benefiting the pinnacle of wealth in this world.
