The facade was torn away completely. The rose-tinted glasses through which Wen Yechen had viewed Jiang Jinyou for all these years shattered into pieces. When he spoke, his previous politeness and reverence were gone.
"Give us time? Respect us? Was it ever respect, or was it just exploitation? I've always known my place in the Jiang Family. I'm not one of you, but I received your charity. To repay that kindness, I just had to create enough value for the Jiang Family to settle the debt."

He understood clearly that the Jiang Family could never be *his* family. Their relationship was more like an investment destined for a final settlement; he and the Jiang Family were simply the invested and the investor. The only exception was Jiang Yuxi.
