Chapter 116: Trade-offs

"There is really no other way, why not choose the first one?"

Jiang Rufeng was silent for a moment, looking at Jiang Weiguo in embarrassment.

Jiang Yuntao's heart sank, and he couldn't help but say: "Second uncle, Chu Yang also took action for Xiao Yuan. If he is handed over to the Lu family, I'm afraid he will lose half his life if he doesn't die."

"This condition can be changed. Now that Chu Yang is in the garden, let Lu Yan teach him a lesson and vent his anger. We will make some appropriate compensation, and I believe the Lu family will agree."

After Jiang Rufeng said his thoughts, he analyzed:

"In recent years, the Lu family has developed very fast, and there is a momentum to surpass our Jiang family. If we choose the other two, it will be a fatal blow to us. We should choose the lesser of two evils and give up Chu Yang. It is in the best interests of our Jiang family.

Also, I have wanted to say this for a long time. Judging from Chu Yang's conditions in all aspects, he is not worthy of my Xiao Yuan. Why not take this opportunity to separate them? There are so many young talents in Jiangzhou. It is easy to find a better partner for Xiao Yuan! "

After hearing what his second uncle said, Jiang Yuntao immediately objected: "Grandpa, I don't agree with my second uncle's opinion. Chu Yang is innocent in this matter. If we can't even protect him, the other party will think that the Jiang family is weak and can be bullied, and they will definitely make more demands in the future. "

Jiang Weiguo nodded and then fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he raised his head and asked Jiang Rufeng: "Rufeng, do you know the reason why the Lu family has been able to develop so fast in recent years?"

"Reason?"

Jiang Rufeng thought for a while and said uncertainly: "It is rumored that the Lu family is supported by a mysterious force, which is why they can open up the pharmaceutical industry and then radiate to other fields. However, it is hard to say how credible this statement is."

"There is no smoke without fire."

Jiang Weiguo stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and said: "The Lu family was just a third-rate family more than a decade ago. Since the development of several elixirs such as Jian Gu Wan, Qi Xue Dan, and Hui Chun San, the Lu family began to rise rapidly. In just over a decade, it has become one of the top wealthy families. According to my guess, these prescriptions of the Lu family come from the mysterious force behind them!"

"No way, if this mysterious force has these formulas, why don't they produce them themselves, but hand them over to the Lu family as an agent?"

Jiang Rufeng asked puzzledly.

Jiang Weiguo shook his head and said, "This is also the reason why I don't understand. Maybe there is something hidden in it."

"Grandpa, is what you said related to today's negotiations?"

Jiang Yuntao felt that he had grasped something, but he couldn't find a clue.

Jiang Weiguo said to him, "I asked you to investigate Chu Yang before, but you didn't get much information, right?"

"Yes, Chu Yang has a clean background, and there is a traceable record of his life from childhood to adulthood. However, in addition to his own information, we can only find out a little about his father Chu Shiwen's recent situation. As for his mother, it's as if this person doesn't exist in the world. This is really unusual."

Jiang Yuntao said with some surprise.

"Then think about it, how can he be so skilled as a college student with no power?

And the birthday gift he casually gave is a priceless spiritual object, and he found it at a bargain in the antique street.

From his performance from last night to today, he doesn't seem to take the Lu family seriously. Do you think a normal person can go to the movies without any pressure after offending the two wealthy families in Jiangzhou?"

"Really."

Hearing him say this, the uncle and nephew were surprised.

Behind these seemingly ordinary things, there seem to be some unknown secrets.

Jiang Rufeng thought for a while before saying: "Father, do you want to protect him?"

"That's right."

"But this is all speculation, maybe it's a coincidence?"

Jiang Rufeng still couldn't accept it. If he protected Chu Yang, he would have to make a choice.

"In fact, this is not the main reason why I want to protect him."

Jiang Weiguo turned around and pointed to the coffee table and said: "Look at this thing first."

The two looked at it and saw a wooden tray on the coffee table with porcelain pieces broken into small pieces.

Jiang Yuntao was surprised and asked, "Isn't this the teacup that Chu Yang used?"

Jiang Rufeng didn't know what happened, so he asked about the situation. After listening to Jiang Yuntao's explanation, he also picked up a few pieces of broken porcelain and looked at them.

"It doesn't seem strange?"

Jiang Rufeng looked for a long time, but didn't find anything strange.

Jiang Weiguo had to remind him, "Didn't you find that the cracks of the broken porcelain pieces are very neat?"

After hearing what he said, the two of them hurriedly picked up a few pieces for comparison, and finally saw something.

These broken porcelain pieces in the tray were like being cut by a sharp knife, with straight and neat cracks, and there was not even a burr!

"This..."

Both of them were stunned.

If the porcelain was cracked by heat, the cracks would definitely not be so neat. If it was not naturally cracked, it could only be caused by humans!

This time, Jiang Weiguo didn't need to remind them again. Both of them realized that the person who could do this must be much better than Lu Guangxiong who crushed the teacup by force!

Jiang Rufeng was secretly shocked and asked, "Father, do you think there is a mysterious force behind Chu Yang?"

"Yes, I can't think of any other possibility except this reason."

Jiang Weiguo said solemnly.

Jiang Yuntao was delighted when he heard this. His initial opinion was to protect Chu Yang.

After all, his sister had already committed herself to him. If he abandoned the car to save the king, Jiang Xiaoyuan would probably be deeply hurt.

If Chu Yang really has a strong background, then the Jiang family may be able to find a backer by giving up some of their interests to keep him. At that time, the Lu family and the Zhao family will no longer be a concern!

Jiang Rufeng is not a fool, and said happily: "I was wrong. I didn't expect this kid to be so low-key.

In this case, it is a good choice for us. In my opinion, we must bleed more this time to let Chu Yang know that the Jiang family has suffered heavy losses for him. With this incense and friendship, plus his relationship with Xiao Yuan, it will be much easier for us to make friends with the forces behind him!"

Jiang Yuntao couldn't help but pout. This second uncle's attitude changed too quickly. He used to be dismissive of Chu Yang, but now he is planning how to make friends with Chu Yang's backers.

"Second brother, you have been managing the family business in recent years, and your thinking has become snobbish. People like Chu Yang must be treated with sincerity when dealing with him, otherwise the relationship between the two sides will be like a tree without roots, and it will be difficult to last!"

Jiang Weiguo also taught him unhappily.

Jiang Rufeng's smile froze, and he said ashamedly: "Father is right, I will reflect on it."

"Well, for the Lu family's condition, choose the second one. I know you have put in a lot of effort, but there must be a trade-off. Let the other party take advantage first, and then slowly get it back later."

"Got it, then I will arrange it right away, and try to reduce the losses now."

Jiang Rufeng agreed and left in a hurry.
