Chapter 3

Tang Chuchu had been away from home for ten days, and no one in the Tang family had searched for her.

In the eyes of the Tang family, Tang Chuchu was a disgrace to the family, a laughingstock in Jiang City. Without her, the Tang family's business was destined to rise to new heights.

After Tang Chuchu recovered her appearance, she went with Jiang Chen to get married, and then returned home.

Tang Tianlong had three sons.

The eldest, Tang Hai; the second, Tang Jie; and the youngest, Tang Bo.

Due to Tang Chuchu's reasons, Tang Bo was not well-liked in the Tang family. Despite his diligent work and significant contributions to the family's development, his status in the Tang family was extremely low, and he had no say.

Although Tang Bo was a manager in the Tang Group, he did not have any shares in the Tang family business. He only received a salary each month, with no dividends, which made his family life very tight.

Although they had bought a house, they had to pay the mortgage every month.

"Chen, this is my home," Tang Chuchu said, pointing to the closed door, "It can't compare to the palace where you live."

Jiang Chen held her hand and smiled, "With you, anywhere is home."

Tang Chuchu felt warmth in her heart and went to the door, gently knocking.

The door quickly opened, and it was Tang Chuchu's mother, He Yanmei, who opened it.

Seeing a beautiful woman and a stranger at the door, she was taken aback and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Mom," Tang Chuchu called out.

The word "Mom" stunned He Yanmei. She stared at the beautiful and sexy woman in front of her, unable to react for a moment.

"Mom, it's me, Chuchu, Tang Chuchu."

"Huh?"

He Yanmei looked shocked, staring at the woman who looked like a fairy from a painting, and asked in confusion, "You, you are Chuchu?"

"Yes, Mom, I'm fine, my scars are gone."

"Mom." Jiang Chen also called out.

"You?" He Yanmei was stunned again.

Tang Chuchu pulled Jiang Chen and said, "Mom, this is the grandson-in-law chosen by Grandpa."

He Yanmei finally reacted, then pulled Tang Chuchu over and said coldly, "I have never acknowledged such a son-in-law."

Then she touched Tang Chuchu's white face, "Chuchu, is it really you? Your face, your scars, what happened?"

"Mom, I've been getting treatment for the past ten days. I'm fine now, I'm completely fine. I won't bring shame to you anymore." Tang Chuchu choked up.

Since the incident, she had brought shame to the Tang family, making them a laughingstock in Jiang City, and making her parents lose face in front of others.

"Daughter..." He Yanmei also hugged Tang Chuchu and cried, "Daughter, it's Mom's fault. I neglected you before, making you suffer and feel wronged. Come, come inside and sit down."

She pulled Tang Chuchu into the house.

With her daughter's appearance restored, He Yanmei had other thoughts.

With her daughter's current beauty, she could marry a rich man, even into a wealthy family, not to a man who was greedy for wealth, unambitious, and willing to be a赘婿for money.

She glared at Jiang Chen, who was sitting on the side, and pointed to the door, "Get out."

"Mom, what are you doing? This is my husband, the grandson-in-law chosen by Grandpa."

"Let's go, back to the family villa, and let Grandpa cancel this marriage."

He Yanmei pulled Tang Chuchu and walked away.

"Chen..."

Tang Chuchu turned, her face filled with helplessness.

Jiang Chen shrugged, indifferent, and followed behind them.

In the Tang family villa, the Tang family members looked at the beautiful woman standing next to He Yanmei, all with expressions of disbelief.

Is this Tang Chuchu?

Is this the Tang Chuchu who was disfigured for ten years?

What happened? How did she change so much in just ten days?

"Chuchu, is that you?"

"Chuchu, is it really you? Did you go to South Korea for plastic surgery? Full-body plastic surgery? Is the technology that advanced now?"

The Tang family members all looked incredulous.

They couldn't believe that the beautiful woman in front of them was the Tang Chuchu with scars all over her body.

Did she take a magic pill?

He Yanmei said bluntly, "Dad, I disagree with this marriage. With Chuchu's current beauty, she can marry into a wealthy family. How can she marry a useless man who is a赘婿?"

Tang Tianlong, sitting on the sofa smoking a pipe, stared at Tang Chuchu.

He didn't know what had happened.

Why did the disfigured Tang Chuchu recover in just ten days?

But the current Tang Chuchu was indeed a beauty. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that makes sense. There are many unmarried men in the major families of Jiang City. I will use my connections to contact them and find a good family for Chuchu."

"I disagree."

Tang Chuchu stepped forward, tears in her eyes, "Grandpa, it was you who decided to marry me to Jiang Chen. Now that Jiang Chen has cured me, you want to go back on your word. What do you think I am?"

"You brat, what are you saying? Slap..." He Yanmei slapped Tang Chuchu's white face and scolded, "What's good about following this poor boy?"

Tang Chuchu covered her face, then picked up a fruit knife from the table and put it to her face, "If you force me, I will disfigure myself."

"You..." He Yanmei was so angry that she trembled.

"Enough." Tang Tianlong roared, "What kind of family is this? Chuchu, I am doing this for your own good. With your current beauty, you can marry into a wealthy family and enjoy luxury. Why do you want to follow a poor boy?"

At this moment, Jiang Chen, who had been silent, stepped forward and looked at the Tang family members, saying calmly, "I, Jiang Chen, am not insisting on being a赘婿in the Tang family. But this is a matter between Chuchu and me. We are already married. If she agrees to a divorce, I have no objections. But if she doesn't, no one can force her."

"Boy, do you have the right to speak here?"

Tang Lei, the eldest grandson of the Tang family, stepped forward, pointing at Jiang Chen's nose and scolding, "You are just a赘婿in the Tang family. You have no right to speak. If the Tang family wants you to leave, you must leave."

Jiang Chen reached out and bent Tang Lei's finger pointing at him, his face cold, "No one has ever dared to point at me."

"Ah, it hurts."

Tang Lei immediately cried out in pain, his body bending, and he pleaded, "I, I was wrong, please, please let go."

Jiang Chen let go of him.

Tang Lei panted heavily, looking at the cold-faced Jiang Chen, and in anger, picked up an ashtray from the table and tried to hit Jiang Chen's head.

"What are you doing?" Tang Tianlong scolded, "Is there no family discipline? Put it down."

Tang Lei turned to look at Tang Tianlong, his face full of sorrow, "Grandpa, this boy is too much. You have to stand up for me."

"Enough." Tang Tianlong smoked his pipe, waved his hand, and then looked at Jiang Chen, "I will give you 5 million. You divorce Chuchu, and from then on, you have nothing to do with her."

"No." Tang Chuchu shouted.

"Rebellious." Tang Tianlong slapped the table and roared, "I am still alive and the head of the Tang family. I make the decisions for the Tang family."

Jiang Chen didn't want to see Tang Chuchu at odds with the Tang family.

He came back this time to repay a debt and seek revenge.

He didn't want his repayment to make Tang Chuchu difficult and cause a rift with her family.

"Grandpa, please give me a chance to prove that I, Jiang Chen, am no worse than anyone else."

"Chance?" Tang Lei immediately sneered, "Jiang Chen, according to your records, you are an orphan who grew up in an orphanage and served in the military for a few years. How can you match the current Chuchu? If you want a chance, do you know Qianjun Group? Our Tang family has always wanted to cooperate with Qianjun Group but couldn't. If you can make Qianjun Group cooperate with the Tang family, then I will recognize you as a Tang family son-in-law."

Tang Lei had long been dissatisfied with Jiang Chen. A former soldier with no money or power, what was he showing off for?

He thought of a way to make it difficult for Jiang Chen, hoping he would back off.

He already had a suitable candidate for his sister-in-law, Xiao Chen from the Xiao family, the leading family among the four major families.

"Grandpa, let Jiang Chen go to Qianjun Group to get an order. If he can get an order from Qianjun Group, recognize him. If he can't, kick him out."

Tang Tianlong smoked his pipe and said, "Yes, that's feasible. The Tang family mainly deals with herbal processing. Recently, Tianjun Group has expanded production and released many orders. Many herbal processing companies are competing for Qianjun's orders. If you can get a 30 million order from Tianjun, I will recognize you as a Tang family son-in-law. I will give you ten days..."

"No need for ten days, I will give you the order tomorrow."

After saying that, Jiang Chen pulled Tang Chuchu and left.

"This boy, what a bold claim. Tianjun is the leader in the pharmaceutical industry, with a market value of hundreds of billions. Wanting to get an order from Tianjun Group is just a dream." Tang Lei sneered.

He Yanmei pleaded, "Dad, don't be soft. A 30 million order is nothing. With Chuchu's current beauty, she can marry into one of the four major families."

Tang Tianlong waved his hand and said, "Don't push too hard. The orders from Qianjun are controlled by the four major families and are not easy to get. Let this boy know the difficulty and back off. Then we can find a way to make Chuchu marry into a wealthy family. If we can marry into one of the four major families, the Tang family will rise rapidly in Jiang City."
