He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Chapter 295 The Puppet on a String

Jiang Yanhui's expression remained calm. With his hands in his pockets, he looked at the furious Lin Zhenbiao and said, "Grandpa, I am your grandson. Do you expect me to always be considerate of you, rather than always respect you?"

One sentence, like a small stone, instantly blocked Lin Zhenbiao's throat. His face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of hostility. He stared at Jiang Yanhui for a long time but couldn't say a word.

"Grandpa, now that you're here, I think you should already be quite clear about some things, so I won't say anything more."

Before the words were even finished, Lin Zhenbiao's voice suddenly rose, now filled with rage, "What are you saying? What do you mean by 'superfluous words'? You'd better explain to me clearly which words are superfluous?"

"Do you really want me to repeat it here?" Yan Shiji Zhenzun asked.

"You...you bastard!" Lin Zhenbiao already knew that his marriage with the Ying family's daughter was a sham, but he was powerless to fight back that day, so he chose to wait for an opportunity to act. However, he did not expect Jiang Yan Hui to act so quickly, and the news that had been reported earlier shocked him even more!

Didn't Ye Siyi abort her child back then? How come she has two children, a boy and a girl, five years later? What's going on?

He never expected that he, the one who hunted the eagle, would be the one pecked in the eye by the eagle. Back then, he only knew that Ye Siyi had left City A after having a miscarriage. At that time, he had just figured out some things about Ye Zhenghao, so he let her go. But he never expected that the woman would secretly do something else!

It's outrageous! That damned woman has Yan Hui completely bewitched, and now she's turned her guns on him. Does she even care about him, her grandfather?

His temples throbbed with anger, and he slammed his cane heavily on the floor, making a jarring sound. "I've cherished you since you were a child, giving you whatever you wanted. Is this how you repay me? I'm still your grandfather! You dare to leave today? Just you wait!"

“I have never denied the fact that you are my maternal grandfather. I can say very clearly that if you were not my maternal grandfather, you might be standing in front of me right now, pointing your finger at me and scolding me! Yes, you have given me a lot, but you have also taken a lot from me! Do I have to tell you everything one by one?”

"You, you wretched child!"

Although he knew that Jiang Yanhui today was very different from Jiang Yanhui five years ago, Lin Zhenbiao probably never expected that he would speak so resolutely now. Looking at his eagerness to go home, it was obvious that he was anxious to go back to see that woman!

He painstakingly planned so many things, but in the end, this is the outcome. How can he accept it?

Lin Zhenbiao involuntarily raised his cane, almost uncontrollably swinging it at Jiang Yanhui's shoulder. Ying Rui, who had been watching from the sidelines, was the first to notice. She instinctively covered her mouth and screamed. Just as the cane was about to hit Jiang Yanhui, she was about to rush out, but Jiang Yanhui was faster, suddenly reaching out and grabbing the cane—

Lin Zhenbiao was getting old, and his strength was naturally not as good as Jiang Yanhui's. When Jiang Yanhui grabbed his cane, Lin Zhenbiao almost fell over. Fortunately, there were several bodyguards in black standing behind him who quickly stepped forward to help him up.

Lin Zhenbiao was already furious. "You, you really are something! You've really grown wings! How dare you treat me like this! You wretched child, you wretched child! I raised you for so many years, I gave you so much, I cleaned up all the people in the Jiang family who opposed you, I gave you the whole of A City, I made you the most powerful person in the world, I even forced Jiang Yansen, who used to oppose you, to leave A City and never dare to come back, and this is the attitude I get in return? Now you're planning to go against me for a lowly woman, isn't that right?"

Lin Zhenbiao was furious to the extreme, and his words came out without much thought. Some things just slipped out without thinking. However, the mention of the name "Jiang Yansen" in his seemingly heartbroken and indignant rant caused Jiang Yanhui's tall figure to stiffen abruptly. A look of surprise flashed across his face, and after a moment, he looked at Lin Zhenbiao in disbelief. "What did you say? You did what happened to Jiang Yansen?"

Actually, he always felt something was off about the murder case at Jinzuo back then, but so many things happened in quick succession. Sisi had just helped him find evidence proving his innocence when that major incident occurred, so Jiang Yansen disappeared for so many years, and he didn't have time to pay attention. He did try to investigate the matter later, but didn't find much information; what he could find was mostly what Sisi had helped him find. Plus, during those years, he was busy searching for people and managing the company, and his relationship with Jiang Yansen wasn't very harmonious to begin with, so he didn't really take it to heart.

Unexpectedly, that matter was also related to Lin Zhenbiao!

Jiang Yan stood there, his body as straight as a sword, his deep eyes revealing his intense emotions in no way.

How many things are still unknown to him? How many things has he been hiding from him?

Although he had never liked Jiang Yansen's behavior and way of doing things before, he never denied that he shared the same blood as Jiang Yansen, so he never dared to be ruthless towards him. But he never expected that his grandfather was manipulating so many things behind the scenes. Was it... all of this from beginning to end just to satisfy his desire for control?

"Repeat what you just said. You said you did what Jiang Yansen did?"

Lin Zhenbiao then realized what he had blurted out, a hint of regret flashing across his weathered, aged face. But the words were already spoken, and there was no going back. At this moment, he thought that everything he had done back then was for Jiang Yan Hui—what had he done wrong?

He slammed his cane on the ground, then stood ramrod straight, his hands clasped together, as if only in this way could he prove his innocence. "Yes, the Golden Throat incident back then was indeed a scheme I devised specifically for Jiang Yansen! But I did it entirely for you. Look at you now, able to rightfully own all of Jiang's shares, what's wrong with that? That Jiang Yansen, he's always wanted to devour you, so I devoured him first, so he'll never have a chance to threaten you again!"

He never did anything wrong. Everything he did was for his future. He treated him like this, yet he still dared to be so disrespectful to him because of a woman!

Lin Zhenbiao spoke with such conviction, yet he never considered that everything he did was completely about controlling a person's life and destiny. Who would willingly hand over their life to someone with such a strong desire for control?

Completely disregarding other people's feelings and not caring whether you truly like it, he wants you to take the first path in life, so you absolutely cannot take the second!

it is ridiculous!

Jiang Yanhui is such a strong and domineering person, how could he possibly tolerate such a fact?

If the man standing in front of him at this moment wasn't Lin Zhenbiao, or his maternal grandfather, he would definitely have been unable to control himself and punched him. He held back, but the murderous aura emanating from him frightened even Ying Rui, who had been standing to the side unable to get a word in edgewise.

Jiang Yanhui's silence was clearly a sign of suppressed anger, yet this strangeness struck Ying Rui. She glanced at him casually, but his almost spitting fire expression sent a chill down her spine. She had never actually seen Jiang Yanhui angry before; they had only met a handful of times. But for some reason, she knew he was furious. His handsome, imposing face was completely expressionless, especially his eyes. Unlike the deep, unfathomable eyes of most men, his eyes were like raging waves in a storm, highlighting his unique charisma but also making him appear even more cold and ruthless.

It was only then that Ying Rui belatedly realized that Jiang Yan had actually held back at the restaurant. Now, he was like a man-eating demon. A chill ran down her spine, and she instinctively took two steps back, quickly averting her gaze.

"When you're controlling someone else's life, have you ever asked that person if they want to be controlled like this? Do you really consider me your grandson?"

Jiang Yan, enraged, sneered. His eyes were icy as he stared at Lin Zhenbiao, no longer caring about their respective statuses, his anger having completely consumed his reason. "I doubt it," he said. "You've treated me like a puppet from the very beginning! Because you gave birth to a daughter, you found Jiang Jizhen, but he's not under your control. He doesn't even love my mother and has many women outside. You let your daughter harm those women one by one. In the end, you got nothing, while my mother pretended to be crazy to protect her marriage. You knew everything, yet you indulged her, and then you set your sights on me. You called it 'raising me,' but from beginning to end, you selfishly interfered in every aspect of my life. Whether I wanted it or not, whatever you wanted me to have, I had to have. And whatever I truly wanted, whatever you deemed unnecessary, I had to give up."

"Is this what you call family affection?"
