Chapter 8: Jiang Tianhua’s Bitterness: I Have a Great Son, But We’ve Severed Ties:
If Jiang Cheng could be admitted to the prestigious Shanfang Private Hospital in Magic Capital, no matter the cost, Jiang Tianhua and his wife were willing to pay. Though the hematology department at the general private hospital in the city was top-notch, it still couldn’t compare to the world-renowned Shanfang Private Hospital. There, Jiang Cheng would receive the best possible medical care, which could greatly improve his condition.
Jiang Tianhua and his wife expressed their gratitude after catching up with the hospital’s dean, who then arranged for the villa staff to escort them out of the Huateng villa area.
As the director of Shanfang Private Hospital, Dean Wang earned a yearly salary of around 10 million yuan, plus various bonuses, bringing his total annual income to 20 million yuan.
With such an income, purchasing a villa in the Huateng villa area, where the average price was 50 million yuan, wasn’t a big deal. It would only take him two or three years to afford one.
The Huateng villa area was vast, with hundreds of villas. Without help, Jiang Tianhua and his wife might have struggled to find their way out. So, Dean Wang had staff escort them out.
They were seated in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class driven by the villa staff, who began to explain the area to Jiang Tianhua. Knowing he was one of the wealthiest men in Magic Capital, the staff hoped to interest him in buying a villa there—imagine the hefty commission they could earn!
As they passed the central villa area, Jiang Tianhua grew curious.
Unlike the rows of villas they had seen before, these three were single-family homes, each with private gardens and parking spaces. The level of luxury was immediately apparent.
Seeing Jiang Tianhua’s interest, the staff quickly chimed in. “Mr. Jiang, you have a good eye! This is the central villa section of Huateng. These three villas are single-family homes with private gardens, parking pads, swimming pools, gyms, and more. Each villa is priced at 80 million yuan, and only two are left. If you’re interested, I can give you a detailed introduction.”
But Jiang Tianhua shook his head. With his son gravely ill, buying a villa wasn’t on his mind.
Just as he was about to look away, something caught his eye. A young man was standing at the entrance of one of the central villas, about to step out. Jiang Tianhua’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Jiang Ye?!”
The man standing there was none other than his own son, Jiang Ye!
What was going on?
The staff had just mentioned that these were the most expensive villas in the area, with a price tag of 80 million yuan. Could Jiang Ye have bought one?
Li Yan, Jiang Tianhua’s wife, also saw their son and was equally shocked.
Jiang Tianhua quickly grabbed the staff member and pointed to Jiang Ye outside. “Do you know that young man? Is he one of your residents?”
The staff member was taken aback by Jiang Tianhua’s urgency but quickly smiled when he recognized Jiang Ye. “Oh, you mean Mr. Jiang? Yes, yes, he’s one of our residents. In fact, he’s our biggest resident! He owns one of the central villas.”
Jiang Tianhua and Li Yan were speechless. Shock and surprise washed over them.
Jiang Ye was the owner of an 80-million-yuan villa?
Could their 23-year-old son really afford such a property?
Did that mean Jiang Ye’s net worth exceeded 100 million yuan?
No wonder they hadn’t been able to find any information on him through hackers. Now it made sense why Jiang Ye had turned down their offer of 5 million yuan. After all, if he could buy an 80-million-yuan villa, why would he care about a mere 5 million yuan?
Jiang Tianhua and Li Yan were now filled with conflicting emotions. Li Yan was especially frustrated. Seeing Jiang Ye doing so well filled her with envy and resentment.
On the other hand, Jiang Tianhua felt a deep sense of pride mixed with regret. How could the son he had neglected for so long have achieved so much?
In truth, he was proud to have such a capable son, but their relationship was now strained beyond repair. The higher Jiang Ye climbed, the more regret Jiang Tianhua felt. If only he could reconcile with him…
As the staff continued to chatter about the villa’s amenities, they suddenly paused and looked at Jiang Tianhua curiously.
“Mr. Jiang, I just realized… you and the owner of the central villa share the same last name. Are you two related?”
Jiang Tianhua, still stunned, slowly nodded. “He’s my son.”
The staff member blinked in surprise, then broke into a wide grin. “Oh, I see! No wonder he’s so successful! I was wondering how such a young man could afford an 80-million-yuan villa. It all makes sense now—he’s your son! That’s some serious strength! So, you’re our resident too! Ha ha!”
For some reason, the compliment from the staff didn’t bring Jiang Tianhua any joy. Jiang Ye might be his son, but they had already cut ties. Jiang Ye had bought an 80-million-yuan house, but it had nothing to do with him. It was all Jiang Ye’s success, not his.
Jiang Tianhua could only force a bitter smile. He had an outstanding son, but he couldn’t even take pride in him publicly. His own mistakes had caused them to sever their relationship, and now, the son he had once looked down on had far surpassed him.
Meanwhile, his other children couldn’t even compare to Jiang Ye.
