When she heard the butler’s voice, Jiang Tong became even more panicked than before, Jiang Lian’s words echoing in her ear. That person outside would never let their family off the hook!

She only came here today because she knew that Jiang Shuxuan only rarely stepped into the Jiang Manor, and she only came to see Madam Jiang, but not only did the woman react in such a way, he came back at this timing too!

If Madam Jiang was still one to let people go based on past graces, but Jiang Shuxuan was truly cold-hearted, and he wouldn’t give anyone a second chance. This was something that Jiang Tong knew for sure.

“Where’s my mother?” The cold voice rang outside, but it seemed to penetrate through the walls. Even at home, he was still as cold as ever.

“Madam is in the kitchen…” The butler paused in his sentence for a moment, as if he wanted to say something.

Jiang Shuxuan took off his jacket and handed it to the butler, folding up the sleeves of his shirt as he walked towards the kitchen.

The moment he arrived at the door to the kitchen, he saw someone that didn’t belong here and he paused, his expression suddenly becoming colder and harsher.

Upon seeing Jiang Shuxuan come back, Madam Jiang glanced towards Jiang Tong before saying, “Butler, please see this visitor out.”

She had been quite happy about being able to cook for her son in such a long while, but she hadn’t expected the wet blanket in the form of Jiang Tong to dampen her spirits.

Who did she think she was, stretching her hands into their family. Did she think that she was dumb enough to be swayed by her words?!

Jiang Tong finally reacted, and Madam Jiang’s disdainful expression coupled with what happened that afternoon almost made her black out from regret and shock, but she bit her lips and forced herself to stay awake. She couldn’t just leave like this, she wouldn’t get another chance like this ever again!

“Young Master Jiang, my father was just too worried about me…” The more afraid she was, the clearer she was with her words, and just from her tone, it seemed as if she was suffering from a great injustice.

Jiang Shuxuan only raised his hand to stop her from continuing with what she was about to say. “Ignoring the secret order and bringing people into the trial tower, almost destroying the balance of the entire ancient martial arts world that has been kept for thousands of years… You should be thankful that your ancestors were the protectors of the tower, or else you would have been dead by now.”

“Butler, take her away and watch them move out of the core district. They are not allowed to ever set foot in this place ever again.” Jiang Shuxuan gave the butler a meaningful gaze, and the butler had the servants take Jiang Tong away from Jiang Manor.

Jiang Tong was as stunned as a wooden chicken, not fighting back or reacting at all for that matter as she was taken away.

After that, Madam Jiang picked up her vegetables again and glanced at Jiang Shuxuan. “Are you still with that girl from the outside world?”

Jiang Shuxuan walked into the kitchen and nodded without a second thought.

“Absurd!” Madam Jiang’s expression darkened and she slammed the innocent veggie back onto the kitchen counter.

She could keep her calm facade when it was in front of Jiang Tong because she was just an outsider and she would take Jiang Shuxuan’s side over hers any day, but now that he acknowledged it himself, she just couldn’t keep her anger down.
