When Jiang Tao returned to the Jiang family mansion, the servants greeted him respectfully, “Eldest young master!”

Jiang Tao asked, “Where’s grandfather?”

The servants replied, “He’s fishing in the pond in the backyard!”

“Alright, I got it!” Jiang Tao nodded and went straight to the backyard.

When Jiang Tao’s parents heard that Jiang Tao had returned, they had been waiting in the courtyard.

When they saw him, Mother Jiang was so excited that her tears sparkled. She called out, “Tao ‘Er!” She wanted to go forward, but she was worried about something. She stood there and looked at him.

Jiang Tao didn’t share his parent’s excitement. He greeted them respectfully. “Father, Mother!” It was respectful and aloof. This was not a normal relationship between parents and children. It was more like the relationship between a superior and a subordinate.

Mother Jiang held back her tears and opened her mouth. She wanted to say something, but in the end, the words that came out of her mouth became, “It’s good that you’re back!”

Father Jiang asked, “Tao ‘Er, are you coming back to stay for a few days, or are you going to stay in the capital?”

Jiang Tao said, “I’ll go back after a few days. Father, mother, I’m going to look for grandfather.”

“Tao ‘Er...” Mother Jiang called out. The expression in her eyes was very complicated. She wanted to say more, but she felt she didn’t have the right.

Father Jiang nodded and said, “Go on then!”

After Jiang Tao left, Mother Jiang finally could not control her tears and covered her face as she began to cry.

Father Jiang hugged her shoulders and sighed. “Tao ‘Er is the future heir of the family. He can only follow the path decided by father.”

Mother Jiang couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. “But this sends Tao ‘Er further and further away from us. Why does the old man have to force Tao ‘Er like this?”

Father Jiang was shocked and immediately covered her mouth. “Qingfeng, don’t ever say these things again. Otherwise, we might not even see Tao ‘Er anymore.”

As the son, Father Jiang knew how controlling and domineering his father was. In order to nurture the most outstanding heir, Grandfather Jiang raised his grandson, Jiang Tao, like a machine. He was not allowed to have any weaknesses, especially emotional ties!

Ever since Jiang Tao was born, he was left with Old Master Jiang. Jiang Tao was forbidden from getting close to his parents so as not to form any emotional ties. Father and Mother Jiang could only see their son once a month. They were not allowed to hug or be too close to him.

Therefore, Jiang Tao treated them like strangers.

Father Jiang sighed and said, “Don’t cry anymore. Tao ‘Er is back. He’ll eat at home. Get the kitchen to prepare Tao ‘Er’s favorite food. I’ll call Bin ‘Er and Wen ‘Er. Their eldest brother is home. We should have a meal as a family.”

Mother Jiang nodded silently and went to the kitchen.

Father Jiang gave his second son, Jiang Bin, and his youngest daughter, Jiang Wen, a call and told them to come home for dinner.

In a private room at Golden City Club, there were smoking and drinking. Young men and women lay on the coffee table or the floor. The men gasped, and the women moaned.
