Chapter 1495: Sowing Discord!
The bodyguards, seeing Chai Rong’s hysterical attitude, all knew things were going to escalate!
Because throughout the Chai Family, the one most doted on by the Family Head Chai Ganglie is young master Chai Rong, and Chai Ganglie is notoriously protective.
If the old man sees his grandson in such a miserable state, there’s fear that he’ll fly into a thunderous rage, and the entire Jiangzhong will change dramatically!
Right now, no one dared oppose Chai Rong, so one strong bodyguard quickly carried him and hurried up the mountain!
The whole Chai Family lives together.
Because Chai’s Villa is connected like Abi Palace, all Chai family members reside within it.
As the bodyguards rushed towards the residential villa with Chai Rong on their backs, many clan members saw them on the way and were instantly shocked!
"Kao, isn’t that our cousin? Am I seeing this wrong?"
"Chai Rong has been away for a few days and now returns like this?!"
"Why does Ah Rong look injured? Which fool dared to touch a member of the Chai Family?"
"And the one they touched was Chai Rong! It’s over now! The Family Head and Elders won’t start a violent and bloody storm?!"
Knowing that Chai Rong isn’t only held in high esteem by the bodyguards, among these clan members, he’s practically a little Crown Prince-like existence!
This is because the current Chai Family Head, Chai Ganglie, is almost predetermined to pass the position to his eldest son Chai Xiongzhao, and unlike the situation where several sons vie for the throne in other great families, Chai Xiongzhao is wholeheartedly supported by the Chai family, deeply respected!
Based on this situation, Chai Xiongzhao is surely set to succeed, and Chai Rong as the next Crown Prince is even more certain!
So now seeing Chai Rong’s embarrassed state, how could the clan members not be astonished?!
They all hurried after the bodyguards, wanting to find out exactly who bullied Chai Rong and why he returned in such a miserable state!
Meanwhile, the Family Head Chai Ganglie was sitting in the main villa hall, discussing matters with his sons and family key figures.
Suddenly hearing the commotion outside, he frowned and looked out.
Chai Family rules are strict, disturbing upper-level discussions without reason would lead to heavy punishment!
Who dares to break the rules like this?
However, when the bodyguards carried in the bare-bodied Chai Rong, his expression instantly froze!
He stood up unthinkingly from his seat.
Following him, the second-generation family leaders, led by Chai Xiongzhao, also stood up one after another, looking incredulously below.
"Son!!!"
Chai Xiongzhao recognized his scarred son, and a violent anger immediately surged, quickly stepping down from his seat, and rushed toward Chai Rong.
Seeing this, the bodyguards immediately dispersed, not daring to stay too close to Chai Xiongzhao, the Family Head heir.
"Dad..."
When Chai Rong saw his father, the grievances he had been holding back finally burst into tears, he tightly gripped Chai Xiongzhao’s hand, crying, "You and Grandpa have to stand up for me..."
"Little Rong!!"
Right then, with a piercing scream, a middle-aged woman with a distinguished aura and dressed in jewels rushed down, holding Chai Rong with both hands.
She was Chai Rong’s mother, Fu Dafen.
The Fu Family is also a well-established family in Jiangzhong, and Fu Dafen had married Chai Xiongzhao through a political marriage, designated as the next Lady.
She was even more protective than Chai Ganglie, her pampering towards her precious son bordered on the pathological!
There was once a stark example: Chai Rong went to the Jiangzhong Grand Theater to watch a guzheng performance and fancied the beautiful girl playing with her delicate hands!
Under threats and bribes, the girl refused to yield!
Upon hearing this, Fu Dafen, in a fit of rage, secretly sent someone to chop off the girl’s hands, placing them in a gift box as a birthday present for her son!
Even Chai Rong was terrified by this at the time!
This incident became the story most talked about with horror throughout Jiangzhong, and Fu Dafen henceforth became famous, known as the number one raging Tiger Mother of Jiangzhong!
Just before, at the Chai Family assembly, Fu Dafen had no right to sit because she was a woman, only able to stand behind her husband and listen.
But now she saw her son’s condition, disregarding the rules of male superiority, she charged down yelling furiously!
"Mom... I was humiliated... You and Dad must avenge me, or else I... won’t live anymore!"
Facing his mother, Chai Rong cried even more bitterly, his face full of pity.
"Unheard-of! Unheard-of!! Who dares to have such courage, touching my son, he’s done living!" Fu Dafen screamed, baring fang and claw!
"Enough, let your son clarify!" Chai Xiongzhao impatiently pushed aside his wife, asking Chai Rong, "You went out for a few days, who did this to you?"
"Jiangdong, Baili Family!"
Chai Rong viciously said, "I was beaten by a black car driver who took me back and Baili Xi’s grandson’s husband, but the black car driver isn’t important, he’s blind so I won’t bother with him, the key is Jiang Feng! Baili Xi’s recognized grandson’s husband dared to kick me, even broke my testicles, I can never touch women again, Chai Xiongzhao, you’re going to end up childless, you know!"
"Baili Family?"
Hearing Chai Rong utter these three words, the Chai Family members’ expressions all changed, realizing the gravity of the situation.
For the neighboring province Baili Family is, besides the Capital City families, one of the few still seen as equals by the Chai family.
Why, because they’re of the same heavyweight class!
In an instant, both Chai Xiongzhao and Fu Dafen turned to look at Chai Ganglie at the Family Head’s seat.
Such a level of collision must be addressed by Chai Ganglie because Baili Xi is of the same rank as him.
But at that moment, Chai Ganglie’s previously dark face astonishingly returned to calmness.
He sat back down quietly, observing Chai Rong and calmly asked, "So, you’ve been to Jiangdong these past few days? I heard you’ve been getting close with Baili Family’s youngest granddaughter, does Baili Xi disagree?! He knew you were my grandson and yet allowed his grandson’s husband to kick you?"
Initially, Chai Ganglie thought his grandson courting the neighboring Baili family’s granddaughter was a good thing, making the two families closer and perfectly matched.
But he never expected Baili Xi to disagree, they’re both old foxes, the opponent is too short-sighted, right?!
"Not just indulge! He damned completely sided with that Jiang Feng to humiliate me! Grandpa, you don’t know, at the end Baili Xi mocked, sneered, and trampled me in front of his family! Even when I brought up your name, he still insulted! He even said if you had the guts to come over, he’d still not give face, in Jiangdong he’s the boss, your words are useless!" Chai Rong chattered, embellishing the details.
Chai Ganglie clenched his fists fiercely, his expression darkened frighteningly: "This happened? With Baili Xi, I showed him respect expecting he would return the favor tenfold, never thought he’d throw it back in my face!"
"Don’t hurry to cry, detail everything that happened in Jiangdong word for word to me! If Baili Xi truly disrespects even the Chai Family, refusing kindness to swallow insult, don’t blame me, Chai Ganglie, for burning bridges!"
