"Dinner is ready!"

A shout came, and Jiang Minglong carried two dishes out of the kitchen.

Ye Yang quickly put down his teacup and stood up, "I'll get the dishes!"

"No, no, no, how can that be, Divine Doctor, please sit, stay seated!" Shen Xiaoqin hurriedly intervened, then turned her head and glared at Jiang Chen, "Aren't you going to get the dishes? Would you really let Divine Doctor do it?"

"Alright, I'll go!" Jiang Chen smiled, gave Ye Yang a look, and got up to head toward the kitchen.

Ye Yang forced a smile, almost to the point of tears, but had no choice but to put on a brave face as he followed Shen Xiaoqin to the dining room.

Jiang Minglong, seeing this, quickly understood what was happening and chuckled without exposing the truth, allowing Shen Xiaoqin to continue displaying her indirect affection for Jiang Chen!

Outside, Jiang Chen was the Family Head of the Jiang Family, the chairman of the three major groups, a peak power in the Semi Venerable Venerable Realm, and the secretive owner of several mercenary corps, but in front of Shen Xiaoqin, he was just a son, a child who in Shen Xiaoqin's eyes, would never grow up and would always need her care!

This is the heart of mothers all over the world; no matter how successful their sons are, they always feel their sons have not grown up!

Unlike fathers, who can see their children's growth and strength through their achievements and let them venture into the world, fathers stand silently behind their children to shield them from the storm; mothers, however, are always worried, always feeling that their children need their care!

Fatherly love, like a mountain, always offers you a sky to sustain you; when you are tired, weary, or have failed, he provides a warm sky for you.

Maternal love, like the ocean, always envelops you, constantly nourishing your growth!

And Ye Yang was troubled.

This was his mentor! A doctor far more skilled than himself! The head of the Jiang Family!

Seeing Jiang Chen pouring water for him, washing fruits for him, Ye Yang's cold sweat dripped down. Several times, he wanted to explain but was stopped each time by Jiang Chen's timely glances, silencing him.

At last, Ye Yang, sweating profusely, nervously drank the tea poured by Jiang Chen, wishing this meal would start quickly and end just as swiftly.

It was really unbearable!

...

After the meal, Ye Yang was soaked in cold sweat, and as soon as he finished eating, he hastily got up to take his leave.

"Chen'er, see Divine Doctor out! Show Divine Doctor to a better room," Shen Xiaoqin, unable to retain Ye Yang, turned to instruct Jiang Chen.

"Alright!" Jiang Chen replied with a light laugh, rising and gesturing to Ye Yang.

Ye Yang hastily got up and walked toward the attic door.

"Pfft!"

"Ha ha!"

As soon as they stepped out of the attic, Jiang Chen and Yan Hu both burst into laughter, both noticing Ye Yang's discomfort.

"Mr. Jiang, I think I'd better not stay here. If it's like this every day, I fear I might die of guilt!" Ye Yang said with a wry smile to Jiang Chen.

"That was thoughtless of me!" Jiang Chen replied with a gentle smile, then shook his head, "Stay, I just won't bring you to my mother's for dinner anymore!"

"Thank you! Thank you!" Ye Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thanking him repeatedly.

As an old-fashioned doctor with slightly outdated ideas, Ye Yang had a deep respect for hierarchy. Today's event, however, was a severe violation of his principles, and he was only tolerating it because Shen Xiaoqin was Jiang Chen's mother, and Jiang Chen wouldn't let him explain.

This ordeal was truly frightful for Ye Yang, and it was his first time realizing that being respected could also be so uncomfortable!

"Xiaoqin, you really made Elder Ye quite uncomfortable today!" After the three of them left, Jiang Minglong spoke with a light chuckle.

"Uncomfortable? Was our hospitality lacking?" Shen Xiaoqin paused, surprised by the comment.

"No, it's a bit too thoughtful!" Jiang Minglong waved his hand, "Have you not noticed that Elder Ye has been sweating all along?"

Shen Xiaoqin blinked, a look of realization on her face, "Right, we should have turned on the air conditioning; I forgot about that!"

"Ha-ha!" Jiang Minglong laughed out loud then suddenly became stunned, frowning slightly as he realized a problem.

Jiang Chen had always refrained from telling Shen Xiaoqin certain things as a way to protect her, but at the same time, it caused Shen Xiaoqin's perspective to remain stuck at the times they spent as a mother and son in Jinhai—it just wouldn't do!

"Xiaoqin, do you know what kind of status Chen'er holds now?" Jiang Minglong began tentatively.

"Status? Jiang Family Head?" Shen Xiaoqin was somewhat confused.

Jiang Minglong nodded, "Then do you know what being the Jiang Family Head implies?"

"This... isn't it just the person who makes decisions for the Jiang Family? What else could it mean?"

Shen Xiaoqin spoke casually, then meaningfully said, "Minglong, I know what you mean, but after all, Chen'er is still a child. It's always right to learn more, and besides, the Divine Doctor is Jinhai's top doctor. Chen'er building a good relationship with him means an extra way out should there be any injuries or illnesses in the future!"

"Xiaoqin, I just knew your perspective hasn't elevated yet. Let me introduce you to our son!" Jiang Minglong shook his head and spoke softly.

"Ha-ha! Don't joke around, our son needs no introduction from you to me—I've been with him since he was little. I understand him better than you do!" Shen Xiaoqin laughed.

"No, no, no! You don't understand him; you only know the old Chen'er and have no idea of what Chen'er is now!" Jiang Minglong waved his hand with a serious look.

Shen Xiaoqin, feeling unconvinced, waited for Jiang Minglong to explain: "All right, then tell me, how do I not understand Chen'er?"

"Chen'er, now in the entire Flame Dragon, doesn't need to bow down to anyone, doesn't need to please anybody. Do you understand this?" Jiang Minglong spoke gravely.

"What? Have you been drinking? You haven't even had any alcohol! Why are you talking nonsense?" Shen Xiaoqin looked puzzled at Jiang Minglong and reached out to touch his forehead.

"I haven't..."

Jiang Minglong grabbed Shen Xiaoqin's hand away and solemnly said, "Xiaoqin, listen closely: Chen'er is now the Jiang Family Head, and our Jiang Family is the business titan in Jincheng, the top business family in Flame Dragon. Under Chen'er's name, there are three major groups: Longteng Group, Yi Chen Group, and Jiuzhou Group. Longteng and Yi Chen, one in the north and the other in the south, are both top domestic companies. Jiuzhou Group has now expanded overseas and has become one of the top 100 enterprises in the world! And these are all symbols of Chen'er's status!"

"What, what?"

Shen Xiaoqin stared bewilderedly at Jiang Minglong.

She never expected that in just a few years, her son, who had been looked down upon and had to become a son-in-law to take care of her, suffering disdain and humiliation, had now attained such a status.

Not only was he no longer subject to humiliation, but he was also a figure respected by thousands!

"This is just on the business front!"

Jiang Minglong spoke again excitedly and seriously, his face unable to hide his pride, "Chen'er is also the chief instructor of the Dragon Tooth Special Combat Team, the youngest Intermediate Rank Officer in our Flame Dragon!"

"What?! You, you mean Chen'er is... is an Intermediate Rank Officer?! You, you, are you not lying to me?!" Shen Xiaoqin exclaimed in astonishment.

Jiang Minglong gently shook his head, "Of course I'm not lying to you, and moreover, Chen'er's achievements go beyond just these. You know about my Sect, right?"

"Of course, Chixiao Sect, a very formidable sect. I heard it's one of the most powerful Sects in Jiangbei!" Shen Xiaoqin nodded slightly, her brain struggling to keep up.

"Chen'er has more say in the Chixiao Sect than I do.

When I see the Sect Master, I need to bow, but our Sect Master needs to bow to Chen'er.

To meet the great ancestor, I need to report it, but if Chen'er wants to meet the great ancestor, he can directly go to where the great ancestor is in seclusion.

A word from me can only command Chixiao Sect disciples who are of the same or lower generation than me, but a word from Chen'er, even the great ancestor will comply!"

Jiang Minglong spoke more and more excitedly, his expression serious but with an undeniable pride.

This is his son, Jiang Chen!

The dragon among men!
