The gate of the central villa.

Ye Jingyi and the other two women, along with Jiang Minglong and others, were trying to persuade Fa'erxi.

After falling from the high altitude, Fa'erxi knelt directly at the gate of the central villa, showing a face full of guilt, waiting for judgment.

In his view, what Jiang Chen said in the air was probably to save face for him or did not want to delay time, hence did not severely punish him. He had to wait here for Jiang Chen to return.

Whoosh!

A figure descended from the sky, slightly surprised at the situation at the gate.

"Jiang Chen, Mr. Fa'erxi also refuses to get up, saying he wants to wait for you to punish him!"

Upon seeing Jiang Chen, Gong Lin hurried forward.

Jiang Chen glanced at Fa'erxi, remained silent for a moment, then walked over to Fa'erxi without standing directly in front of him.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, please punish me!"

Sensing Jiang Chen's arrival, Fa'erxi was about to kneel before him.

Jiang Chen held Fa'erxi and, with a strong grip, lifted him up, speaking in a deep voice, "Mr. Fa'erxi, do you think the punishment I meted out in the air was too harsh?"

"No, it wasn't!"

Fa'erxi hurriedly waved his hand, "I know it was because Mr. Jiang was eager to rescue Mr. Ming Long and it was a superficial disposal, leaving face for me, fearing others might blame me for this issue, I..."

"Who told you it was a superficial disposal?"

Jiang Chen chuckled lightly, "Mr. Fa'erxi, I've already said, it won't happen again; besides, I also believe you won't make such mistakes in the future. Punishment is meant to prevent wrongdoers from repeating their mistakes. At that moment, I saw in your eyes not only guilt and self-reproach but also a trace of death wish. If I'm not mistaken, at that time, you were ready to die as a form of apology should Lin Lin or my father have a mishap, right?"

Fa'erxi's eyes flickered, remaining silent.

Ye Jingyi and others smiled reassuringly; from Fa'erxi's expression, everyone understood that Jiang Chen was right!

"Since you've recognized your mistake, and I've already made the punishment, isn't it enough? What else do you want me to do? Must I kill you or cripple you?"

Jiang Chen spoke softly.

Fa'erxi glanced at Jiang Chen, still hesitant, uncertain about Jiang Chen's intentions.

"Mr. Fa'erxi, I value my family, but I haven't reached the point of casually killing in anger. Moreover... to be honest, Mr. Fa'erxi, if it weren't for the current situation, perhaps, I really might have killed you."

Jiang Chen solemnly looked at Fa'erxi, "But now, I want to ask Mr. Fa'erxi to leave a useful existence, to do something worthwhile, instead of dwelling in self-reproach here, merely seeking punishment."

Ye Jingyi and others glanced at Jiang Chen, smiling silently.

This is Jiang Chen's growth; everyone saw it and couldn't help but feel comforted.

"Mr. Jiang, I understand, thank you! From now on, I, Fa'erxi, swear to die for the alliance! For Yuan Star!"

Fa'erxi solemnly stated.

Jiang Chen smiled, saying nothing, and patted Fa'erxi's shoulder.

Filled with deep guilt, Fa'erxi took leave.

"You brat, you still remember to come back!"

When Fa'erxi left, Shen Xiaoqin suddenly pulled a long face, glared at Jiang Chen, and turned to walk into the villa, dragging Gong Lin along with her.

Jiang Chen paused for a moment, turning to look at Jiang Minglong.

Jiang Minglong gave Jiang Chen a look as if saying "you've brought this upon yourself," and followed Shen Xiaoqin.

"Well..."

Jiang Chen looked bewildered at Jiang Yuting and Jiang Wenbo, only for Jiang Wenbo and the others to dodge his gaze and turn towards the villa, Jiang Yuting pulling Ye Jingyi and Yè Yùwǎn away, leaving Jiang Chen standing there in a stupor.

"What's happening here?"

Jiang Chen muttered to himself, scratching his nose as he followed them.

In the living room, everyone took their seats. Shen Xiaoqin wore a stern expression as she looked at Jiang Chen, Jiang Minglong and others holding back laughter. Gong Lin's face turned slightly red upon thinking of something, quietly lowering her head, while Ye Jingyi and Yè Yùwǎn seemed to notice something from Gong Lin's reaction, their eyes flickering twice, their faces also reddening.

"Mom, what's up? Did Dad bully you? You tell me, I'll deal with him!"

Jiang Chen looked puzzled at Shen Xiaoqin.

Jiang Minglong's face darkened, glaring at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Yuting watched Jiang Minglong with a teasing look, recalling what Shen Xiaoqin said during dinner.

"What's the matter? Do you even consider me your mother anymore? Do you remember your dad, grandpa, and your two great-grandfathers? It's been years, are you just that busy? You can't even come home to see us? You can fly, how much time would it take you to fly back to see us?"

Shen Xiaoqin looked at Jiang Chen with full grievance, her eyes shimmering with tears.

"Mom, I'm wrong, it's my fault. From now on, I'll definitely come back every year to see you all, I..."

Jiang Chen hurriedly sat beside Shen Xiaoqin, putting his arm around her shoulder, sincerely admitting his mistake. He wouldn't justify himself using excuses like being busy with matters of great importance concerning Yuan Star; being away from home for over two years without visiting his mother, regardless of the reason, is a mistake!

"Alright, you're admitting your mistake, aren't you?"

Shen Xiaoqin looked up, glaring at Jiang Chen.

"Yes, yes, I admit my mistake!"

Jiang Chen nodded repeatedly.

"Then do you accept my punishment?"

Shen Xiaoqin spoke again, staring straight at Jiang Chen, a hint of nervousness flashing deep in her eyes.

"I accept, of course I accept!"

Jiang Chen did not notice Shen Xiaoqin's anomaly and nodded in response.

Thud, thud, thud

A series of footsteps sounded, Yan Hu and Long Dingtian walked in.

Shen Xiaoqin hurriedly gestured to them, signaling them not to come closer, not to speak.

Long Dingtian and Yan Hu were a bit puzzled about what was happening, glancing around the room, exchanging a look, and stood at the door without moving.

Ye Jingyi and the other two women noticed Yan Hu and Long Dingtian, but at the moment, they were discussing matters that might concern their lives, so they paid no mind to why the two came, neither looking at them, continually glancing at Shen Xiaoqin and Jiang Chen.

"Alright, you said it, you, as the world's number one, can't trick me, a simple housewife!"

Shen Xiaoqin posed seriously, counting on her fingers, "First, give me three daughters-in-law, will you?"

"Ah?"

Jiang Chen paused, glancing at Ye Jingyi and the other two women, frowning as he looked at Shen Xiaoqin, "Mom, I have Jing Yi and the others, I'm not looking anymore!"

The eyes of Ye Jingyi and the other two showed a hint of nervousness, slightly apprehensive as they looked at Shen Xiaoqin; perhaps only Shen Xiaoqin, the future mother-in-law, could make the three Iron Ladies collectively anxious!

Jiang Wenbo and the others were also stunned, not quite grasping what Shen Xiaoqin intended, only Jiang Minglong instantly understanding what his wife wanted, smiling as he stopped Jiang Yuting from speaking.
