Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses-Chapter 116

Chapter 116: A Joyful Family Dinner

“Dad, Mom, Grandpa…” Jiang Che, accompanied by Ah Qing, entered the living room and greeted each of the three sitting on the sofa in turn.

“You’re back.” Su Shanshan’s face showed a tender smile upon seeing Jiang Che.

“It’s been a while, but why do I feel like you’ve become more handsome?” Jiang Tao set aside his newspaper, scrutinizing Jiang Che with a somewhat skeptical gaze. He sensed some change in his son but couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

“My dear grandson, did you miss your grandpa?” Jiang Jingshan looked at Jiang Che with a beaming smile, his eyes filled with warmth.

“Of course, I missed you. Here’s a gift I’ve prepared for you.” Jiang Che said, taking out three Marrow Cleansing Pills from the system space and presenting them to his family.

“These are Marrow Cleansing Pills. They can change one’s constitution, strengthen the body, and cleanse the marrow.”

Jiang Tao laughed and accepted the gift without refusal. “You’re thoughtful,” he said, acknowledging the appropriateness of a son giving gifts to his father.

“You’ve really grown up, and our Jiang family has a successor.” Jiang Jingshan said, noting that although Jiang Che was always excellent academically and filial, he had grown up sheltered and knew little of worldly matters, let alone giving gifts. 𝓯𝘳𝘦𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝓃ℴ𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝓬𝘰𝑚

“Madam, Master, Family Head, good day…” Ah Qing stepped forward from behind Jiang Che, greeting the three with a shy and nervous demeanor.

“The little girl has grown so much…” Jiang Jingshan looked at Ah Qing with a fond smile, remembering how he had brought her to serve as Jiang Che’s maid. Six years had passed, and the little girl had blossomed into a beautiful young woman.

Su Shanshan, with a smile in her eyes, gestured for Ah Qing to come closer, aware of the relationship between her and Jiang Che. “Girl, come here.”

“Madam…” Ah Qing approached Su Shanshan, looking somewhat timid.

She was unsure of Su Shanshan’s temperament and feared being blamed for her relationship with Jiang Che.

“Are you afraid of me?” Su Shanshan, seeing Ah Qing’s pitiful appearance, felt a playful urge to tease her.

“No… No.”

“What’s your relationship with my son?” Su Shanshan asked with a mischievous smile, her tone turning serious.

“Just a normal master-servant relationship…” Ah Qing said, feeling guilty and lowering her head.

“But I heard your relationship is quite special?” Su Shanshan prodded further, causing Ah Qing to quickly defend Jiang Che, taking the blame upon herself.

“What a silly girl.” Su Shanshan shook her head, laughing heartily at Ah Qing’s reaction. Realizing she was being teased, Ah Qing blushed.

“Mom, Ah Qing is very well-behaved, don’t tease her like that,” Jiang Che said, a bit helplessly.

“Hmph, haven’t even married yet and you’re already taking your little girlfriend’s side? Forgetting your mother now, are you?” Su Shanshan teased.

“Madam…” Ah Qing’s face turned even redder, shyly bowing her head.

Jiang Tao and Jiang Jingshan laughed heartily, contributing to the harmonious atmosphere.

…

After the third round of drinks and a variety of dishes, Jiang Tao broached a subject casually. “I heard someone named Ye Chen troubled you recently?” He sipped his white wine, his face expressionless as if the question was just a casual inquiry.

“That’s right, but I’ve already killed him,” Jiang Che replied.

Jiang Tao didn’t say much, only reminding his son to call him if he ever faced insurmountable problems in the future.

“Ah Qing, try this, it’s Australian lobster.”

“Try this twice-cooked pork, it tastes quite good…” Su Shanshan continuously served food into Ah Qing’s bowl, quickly filling up her small plate.

“Thank you, madam…” Ah Qing thanked her and began to eat slowly and carefully, not wanting to disappoint Su Shanshan’s kindness despite already being full.

“Old Jiang, the real estate business has completely collapsed. What should we do next?” Su Shanshan also took a sip of her wine, speaking somewhat despondently.

“Let’s follow the policy, I also don’t know where the future trend lies.” Jiang Tao shook his head, indicating there was no better solution at the moment, and they could only take it one step at a time.

Upon hearing his parents’ words, Jiang Che’s mind stirred, and he began to ponder inwardly. It had been over a month since he arrived in this novel world, and he had noticed some differences from the world of his previous life. This world’s network technology was advanced, but it lacked online shopping.

Initially, he found it strange, but at that time, he was busy dealing with protagonists and didn’t give it much thought. Now, it seemed he could completely apply the teachings of Teacher Ma from his previous life to double the assets of the Jiang family!

With this thought, Jiang Che didn’t hesitate. “Dad, regarding the future trend of the industry, I have some ideas.”

“Oh, what are your ideas?” Jiang Tao looked curiously at Jiang Che, wondering if his son had any unique insights into business.

“We can implement online shopping…” Jiang Che said, and Jiang Tao frowned slightly but remained silent, signaling Jiang Che to continue, as this was the first time he had heard of the concept of online shopping.

“Online shopping, as the name implies, means we create a software platform to sell goods online, allowing customers to buy their favorite products from the internet.”

“We can source goods directly from manufacturers and sell them at prices cheaper than physical stores. Attracting people to join our platform as sellers…”

Jiang Che laid out the entire theory he had learned from his previous life, bringing a new business strategy to the Jiang family.
