Take Me Away, My Love - Chapter 32 - The Title of Dutiful Son
The next day, the press conference began at Changyun Group.
The organizer was naturally Jian Yiqing.
Due to his past association with Li Minchun, Jian Yiqing had practically faded from public view. Now, his sudden appearance stirred up curiosity.
Among the crowd were many starstruck women who, upon seeing Jian Yiqing, began to chatter: “Jian Yiqing is alive after all. Look at him; he hasn’t changed at all over the years.”
Additionally, some people quickly offered more information about Jian Yiqing: “Yes, I heard about him as well. It was because of a woman named Li Minchun that he became so disheartened. He’s truly a sentimental man and a eligible bachelor…”
However, before she could finish, someone nearby interrupted: “If I ever had the chance, I would definitely marry him, even if I have to be a stand-in.”
…
While those people were gossiping, others focused on the scene at the press conference.
“Look, isn’t that Jian Gangchen?”
Someone with sharp eyes noticed Jian Gangchen standing beside Jian Yiqing.
A flurry of flashing lights and cameras quickly captured this surprising moment.
Jian Yiqing gently wiped the drool from Jian Gangchen’s mouth and adjusted the blanket on his lap.
“How are you feeling? Are you cold?”
These gentle words almost made people mistake them for lovers.
Could the rumors about conflicts in the Shangguan Family be false? From the looks of it, they seem quite filial.
Numerous questions exploded in front of Jian Yiqing like bombs.
Jian Yiqing patiently answered them and, with a touch of helplessness and sadness, said, “I’m terribly sorry for only holding the press conference now. My father is seriously ill, and I wish to do what an adopted son should.”
With this one sentence, a commotion erupted among those present.
What? Could Jian Yiqing actually be Jian Gangchen’s adopted son? Doesn’t he have his own son? Why do they place an adopted son in the president’s position? Moreover, why give the president role to Cheng Duo, who is not related by blood?
From beginning to end, his biological son, Cheng Ran, hasn’t been given any significant role.
This is absolutely incredible.
How could someone regard another person’s son as so important while belittling their own son to such a degree?
Without waiting for the reporters to ask questions, Jian Yiqing continued with a deep sadness, “I don’t want to talk about that matter anymore. After all, everything is fate, and even if my father wanted to change things, he couldn’t. Also, now that Cheng Ran is dead, please stop making wild speculations and accusations; it’s unfair to the deceased.”
Initially, if he hadn’t said this, people might not have speculated so much. However, since Jian Yiqing brought it up, it only fueled their curiosity.
Some eager individuals quickly began researching and uncovered the story about Cheng Ran’s preference for men…
Oh, so that’s how it is!
Unconsciously, everyone started connecting these two incidents together.
Jian Yiqing continued, “Although when my father was healthy, we often had disagreements, leading to many conflicts. However, now that his health is failing, as his adopted son, I am well aware of the nurturing grace that is greater than mountains, and I can’t just ignore it. I invited you here today to witness this, hoping that you won’t disturb our lives in the future, which is beneficial for my father’s recovery.”
After speaking, Jian Yiqing, under the care of several people, headed outside.
Meanwhile, the reporters and fans became even more enthusiastic.
Truly a model figure.
Even after being mistreated by the Shangguan Family, he can still respond with kindness. Such character is likely unmatched in this world.
The next day, major newspapers prominently featured the previous day’s press conference on their front pages.
Many newspapers even placed the photos of Jian Yiqing gently caring for Jian Gangchen in the most noticeable spots.
The headlines highlighted important words like “model” and “dutiful son.”
In this way, Jian Yiqing’s personal reputation was effortlessly elevated to a new level. With such positive energy, it naturally had an indelible and profound impact on Changyun Group, which he founded.
Hearing all this clearly, Jian Gangchen’s hands began to tremble with anger.
Not long before, Jian Gangchen had been revived by Ru Long with medication. Now, apart from lacking the ability to move on his own, Jian Gangchen was almost indistinguishable from a normal person.
Upon returning to the villa, Jian Yiqing looked at Jian Gangchen with a smile. With a tone that was calm yet as sharp as a knife, he asked, “Dear father, how are you feeling now? Any better?”
Jian Gangchen’s expression turned very unpleasant. His left hand was still immobile, and his right was resting on his chest, trembling slightly-whether from anger or due to physical reasons was unclear.
His eyes, filled with a devouring intensity, fixed on Jian Yiqing.
In fact, deep in his heart, Jian Gangchen had cursed this man thousands of times.
Had he known this would happen, he might have ended him long ago. He not only raised the enemy’s child but also allowed him to grow to such an extent.
This situation represented the ultimate humiliation in Jian Gangchen’s life. Each glimpse of Jian Yiqing forced him to relive the disgrace of being cuckolded and quietly suffering through it.
Unfortunately, he had no solution for this predicament.
Jian Yiqing gently patted Jian Gangchen’s old face and sneered, “Calling you ‘father’ disgusts me. Perhaps you’re not aware, but all the shares of the Shiyu Conglomerate Group have been transferred to my account. Even though the group is in a chaotic state, it doesn’t matter, as long as I reclaim the position of president.”
As he spoke, Jian Yiqing kept his eyes fixed on Jian Gangchen in the wheelchair. “I bet you’re curious about how I plan to handle the Shiyu Conglomerate Group you valued so much, aren’t you? Oh, and your eldest and only remaining son, Cheng Duo, might be dead already. Did you know? A couple of years ago, he and Cheng Mo tried to take down the Mercenary Group’s headquarters, only to be eliminated instead. I reckon you’ve been searching for them quite a bit lately, but alas, you might only meet him again on the road to the afterlife.”
Seeing Jian Gangchen’s agitated state, as if he were about to spring up and throw punches, filled Jian Yiqing with satisfaction.
That villain used to treat him with utter disdain, subjecting him to endless insults and various forms of bullying and suppression.
At one point, he even handed him over to his son and had people of different races film indecent videos with him.
Recalling those scenes brought immense pain to Jian Yiqing every time.
Finally, this damned old man was in his hands.
Jian Gangchen enjoyed watching videos of male intimacy, didn’t he? Why not have a live demonstration instead?
With this in mind, Jian Yiqing clapped his hands, and immediately a group of men entered the room.
Each man was well-built and varied in style and skin tone, indicating the effort it took to assemble them.
Pointing to the group, Jian Yiqing smiled at Jian Gangchen and said, “You’ve always wondered if your son Cheng Ran really liked men, didn’t you? I’m sure you wouldn’t believe it. Why not let them show you?”
Saying this, he stepped aside and gestured for the men to approach.
Their eyes, filled with a peculiar gleam and flames of hatred, focused intently on Jian Gangchen.
Jian Gangchen had already envisioned his fate. He wanted to escape, but unfortunately, his body was unresponsive. Apart from the constant trembling of his right hand, the rest of his limbs seemed completely beyond his control.
The men quickly closed in, with their hands, both gentle and forceful, starting to land on Jian Gangchen’s body.
Despite his age, it was undeniable that he had maintained his physique well.
Even at this age, his abdomen wasn’t overly protruding, and his skin remained firm due to consistent exercise over the years.
Touching it felt surprisingly unique-a bit more relaxed than a younger person’s but providing a novel kind of thrill.
“Old man, your son loved it when I touched him like this… I wonder if you enjoy it just as much…”
As he spoke, the man’s hand moved toward Jian Gangchen’s lower body.
Upon hearing these words, Jian Gangchen, who had been somewhat composed, was utterly enraged. He protested angrily with muffled sounds, as if on the brink of collapse.
He, Jian Gangchen, had dominated throughout his life and been involved with countless women. When had he ever been subjected to such humiliation? And to be tormented by this bastard sent by Jian Yiqing, the illegitimate child, no less.
Sadly, his struggles only brought a tinge of amusement to these men.
In no time, the helpless Jian Gangchen was dragged to the ground by them.
His pants were removed, and, rendered powerless, he was violated.
Humiliation and anger surged through him, nearly causing his head to burst and almost rendering him unconscious once more.
This bastard dared to do this to me. You’ll see, one day you’ll repay this a thousand times over!
However, Jian Gangchen overlooked one thing: Jian Yiqing’s torment had only just begun. He intended to replicate every ordeal ever inflicted upon him onto Jian Gangchen.
