Chapter 406: Worship!
The hall was as if swept by a storm, eerily quiet.Everyone looked towards the man walking in at the entrance.
He wore a black suit, one hand in his pocket, striding in with large steps.
His exquisite, handsome face seemed shrouded in dark clouds, his light brown eyes glinting with a bloodthirsty light, his whole body exuding an awe-inspiring, murderous aura.
"Young Master Jiang!" Someone in the hall shouted.
Everyone shivered, as silent as cicadas in winter.
Everyone knew that the main and second branches of the Jiang Family didn’t see eye to eye. Second Young Master Jiang and Third Young Master Jiang were mortal enemies, and no one expected them to run into each other today.
Of course, what was even more surprising was the unexpected presence of Young Master Jiang here.
Could it really be as rumored, that Young Master Jiang and Zhao Xiyue had such a relationship?
Jiang Yutai’s face grew darker when he heard someone call Jiang Jingheng Young Master Jiang.
Why was he called Second Young Master Jiang while Jiang Jingheng was simply called Young Master Jiang, as if Jiang Jingheng had a higher status than him?
Zhao Xiyue saw Jiang Jingheng arrive, her expression relaxed, and she called out, "Jing Heng, you’re here."
A trace of joy flickered in her eyes. She had invited him, but was told he was on a business trip abroad.
Did he return just to celebrate her birthday?
Jiang Jingheng didn’t look at her; his gaze swept over to Mu Yan, and their eyes met.
Mu Yan instinctively clutched her skirt, her heart racing uncontrollably, filled with joy.
She had thought it would take him a long time to return, but he gave her such a pleasant surprise.
With just one glance, Jiang Jingheng withdrew his gaze, looking at Jiang Yutai, and said coldly, "Get lost!"
Jiang Yutai’s eyes widened in rage, his face full of anger. "Jiang Jingheng, who allowed you to speak to me like that?"
No matter what, he was still his cousin. Did he not understand seniority and respect?
Jiang Jingheng looked at him, his eyes flashing with a cold light that disappeared in an instant.
Suddenly, he stepped forward and kicked Jiang Yutai in the leg.
"Ah!" Jiang Yutai screamed, losing balance and falling to his knees on the ground.
Everyone in the hall was shocked, instinctively taking a step back.
They knew Young Master Jiang’s temperament. Even if they hadn’t seen it, they’d heard of it. It was best not to get involved at times like this.
Jiang Jingheng looked at him and said indifferently, "How does it feel to kneel?"
Mu Yan felt a stir in her heart, looking at him she was filled with infinite joy and admiration. He was standing up for her.
"You bastard, I’ll kill you!" Jiang Yutai, enraged, struggled to get up.
Suddenly, another kick flew from the person standing in front of him.
This time, Jiang Yutai was kicked squarely on the back, lying on the ground with limbs splayed out.
The crowd gasped, but no one dared to help him up.
They would rather offend Jiang Yutai than offend Jiang Jingheng. After all, the latter was just a powerless young master.
Jiang Yutai received a kick in the gut, the pain excruciating, leaving him unable to straighten up.
Zhao Xiyue was already disgusted with him, and now with Jiang Jingheng supporting her, she felt even more emboldened.
"Someone, send Second Young Master Jiang back."
Two servants came over and helped Jiang Yutai out.
"Jiang Jingheng, Zhao Xiyue, dare to treat me this way, I’ll make you regret it!" Jiang Yutai looked at them, his face twisted with fury, roaring.
Zhao Xiyue paid him no mind. In the Jiang Family, the ones with real status weren’t useless young masters like him.
She looked at Jiang Jingheng, her heart fluttering with excitement, softly asking, "When did you get back?"
"Today." Jiang Jingheng said apathetically, his gaze falling onto Mu Yan beside him.
Zhao Xiyue followed his gaze and said with a smile, "Mu Yan, aren’t you going to thank Jing Heng?"
