Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Fed Me a Mouthful of Lettuce Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Fed Me a Mouthful of Lettuce Jiang Yunchuan and Mrs. Jiang both breathed a sigh of relief.
At the very least, Jiang Nanshu’s nominal fiancé was on her side.
Mrs. He couldn’t believe it, “Young Master Lu, did you misspeak? Why would you defend such a woman, she is just a…”
“Mrs. He, mind your manners,” Lu Qingyan’s tone was slow and cold, but his words left no room for doubt, “The evidence is being organized and will be out soon. And my fiancée is delicate and frail, obviously not someone who would get into a fight.”
Jiang, delicate and frail, Nanshu: “…”
[Ah yes, yes, well said. I’m not only delicate and frail, but I’m also an extremely sensitive and fragile little girl, sob sob sob.]
Lu Qingyan: “…”
He couldn’t help but curl his lips into a slight smile.
The lively-hearted Jiang Nanshu was really much more endearing.
“Brother Yan, take a look at this video,” Yang Jiashu pushed the door open and came in.
He held a phone, “A phone in the bathroom was deliberately damaged, so it took me some time to extract the information. Fortunately, it wasn’t deleted.”
Upon hearing this,
He Lianzhi’s face suddenly turned deathly pale, her lips trembling unnaturally.
Before she could faint, she smashed the phone with the video. If this violence was made public, her life would be over.
But she didn’t expect that the young master of the Yang Family would have extracted the video.
It must not be publicized, absolutely not.
Just as she thought to seize it, a man walked through the doorway.
The man, in a well-tailored suit, had sharp features. He rarely smiled; his handsome face was stern, his hair meticulously combed.
He Lianzhi’s eyes lit up, “Brother Yan, sob sob sob, you’ve finally arrived.”
She broke free from Mrs. He’s embrace and rushed towards the man, intending to throw herself into his arms, but Bao Yan dodged, his voice cool, “He Lianzhi, what’s going on?”
He Lianzhi immediately bit her lip, looking aggrieved.
Then the Jing University Principal finally spoke up, “Oh, Mr. Bo, what brings you here?”
Bao Yan gave him a glance, his tone cold, “Someone bullied my fiancée, of course I’d come to get justice for her.”
When He Lianzhi heard that Bao Yan came for her, her sadness instantly vanished, her heart bubbling with joy. Although the Bao Family wasn’t as powerful as the Lu Family, under Bao Yan’s management, they were not afraid of the Lu Family.
Jiang Nanshu looked at Bao Yan with interest.
[Oh, so this is the other big villain who caused the Jiang Family to go bankrupt and sit on equal footing with the Lu Family after merging with it. He looks good.]
Jiang Yunchuan: “!!!” What’s this now?
Mrs. Jiang: “…” Hearing about the family’s bankruptcy, why does this girl sound so pleased?
Lu Qingyan glanced at Bao Yan. Handsome?
Just average, I guess.
Jiang Nanshu, the woman, is truly fickle and promiscuous.
“Tsks, what an act? Wanting justice, your fiancée is like a stain that thinks it’s wrapped in gold. Gross.” A light, mocking voice came from behind the door.
Everyone turned their heads.
Jiang Yisen was seen casually walking in, one hand in his pocket.
Dressed in a loose black shirt, his handsome face bore an undisguised mocking smile.
Compared to Bao Yan, this CEO, he seemed like a ruffian…
Seeing Jiang Nanshu look at him, his smile grew wider, and he winked at her, “So she has a backer, huh, little sister, you do too.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
[Fed me a mouthful of shepherd’s purse, get this oil press out of here, thanks.]
What was originally quite a handsome gesture,
Seemed to take on a different flavor after Jiang Nanshu’s inner commentary.
Jiang Yisen: “…”
Forget it, he didn’t expect Jiang Nanshu to say anything nice.
With a smile that was more mocking than not, he looked at Bao Yan, “Mr. Bo, such authority. You think by showing up, the evidence can be ignored? You want to protect her? I simply won’t let you.”
Bao Yan’s face was tight, He Lianzhi, frightened, stood behind him, appearing pitiful, “Brother Yan, save me.”
The atmosphere in the office was tense and confrontational.
Originally, the principal of Jing University who had been chiming in had quietly receded, hoping not to get involved with these wealthy families.
Ordinary brawls are easy to resolve.
But now, the Jiang, Lu, and Bao families had all entered the fray.
When deities fight, it’s best for these minor spirits to stay as far away as possible.
This was no longer a simple brawl.
Jiang Nanshu looked at He Lianzhi and then at Bao Yan.
She felt a surge of sympathy for He Lianzhi.
She was just a pawn used by Bao Yan as a human shield.
“Of course Bao Yan would save He Lianzhi. She is his cover, after all. Who would have thought that the ascetic Mr. Bao couldn’t keep his hands off his own foster sister?”
All present who could hear the thoughts were shocked.
Bao Yan and his foster sister!
“I knew it long ago, Xu Xingwan is Bao Yan’s foster sister. There’s no such thing as her disappearing, probably hidden away by the Baos. Only He Lianzhi is still giving Xu Xi trouble, trying to find out Xu Xingwan’s whereabouts, while knowing everything, playing the big bad wolf.”
Jiang Yisen’s eyes gradually lit up with excitement; he slowly smiled, staring at Bao Yan.
I’ve found your weakness, you’re done for.
Bao Yan took a deep breath and slowly said, “This matter is not honorable, and since we all run in the same circles, seeing each other often, let’s just settle this privately with money, shall it cause no major harm, right?”
“Good, good, good, I think that’s good. Money works!”
Jiang Nanshu just shook her head.
After all, she wasn’t the main character in this incident; she was just a bystander.
Jiang Yisen looked at her money-grubbing expression and laughingly refused, “That won’t do. My sister’s reputation isn’t something that can be resolved with money. We must clear her name.”
Jiang Nanshu: ?
“What reputation? Eh? Why can’t it be resolved with money! Damn it, I’m going to kill you.”
“How much?” Jiang Nanshu blurted out immediately.
Bao Yan then turned his gaze to Jiang Nanshu, who was quite beautiful, though reputedly brainless.
But as long as someone loves money, this matter can be easily resolved.
He still had a cold expression: “Twenty million, and we’ll call it even.”
Jiang Nanshu’s eyes lit up.
Jiang Yisen scowled, rejecting it ahead of anyone else: “No!”
He snatched Yang Jiashu’s phone and directly played the video, a wide smile on his face: “Let’s all appreciate the truth of this matter.”
He Lianzhi stepped back, almost collapsing if not for the table she braced herself against. She trembled, realizing it was all over.
Multitudes of voices from the video resounded in everyone’s ears, with He Lianzhi orchestrating this whole incident.
In the meantime, they heard Jiang Nanshu stating her presence was merely to use the restroom.
Then, just when the blonde man approached, their video got cut off.
So, Jiang Nanshu’s part wasn’t recorded.
A look of despair flashed across Jiang Nanshu’s face, though everyone else thought she was just overjoyed to be proven innocent.
“Damn! Why didn’t they capture my heroic moment? I may not have hit He Lianzhi, but I hit someone else!”
She was still waiting for everyone to react to her involvement.
Mrs. Jiang absolutely despised her mischievous behavior.
The Jiang Family detested her causing trouble outside, and encountering this situation would only increase their dislike towards her.
Life seemed hopeless now.
Everyone: “…”
Mrs. He shook her head, incapacitated, “This… this is impossible… this video must be edited, my Lianzhi wouldn’t do such a thing.”
Mrs. Jiang sneered, “Next time you slander someone, find evidence first, or you might end up embarrassing yourself and can’t face the music!”
Jiang Yisen’s smile was challenging, “Mr. Bo, still want to protect her? What about your fiancée’s claim about Xu Xingwan? I remember you have a sister named Bao Xingwan. What? Did she change her name? Is He Lianzhi mad, trying to catch her own sister-in-law cheating?”
Bao Yan clenched his teeth tightly, veins popping on his neck, looking at Jiang Yisen as if he were looking at a dead man.
And Jiang Yisen, bearing half of the criminal law on his back, didn’t panic at all, smiling even more brilliantly, as if determined not to rest until he infuriated his adversary to death right there.
Jiang Nanshu: “???”
“Holy shit, how did he know!!! The thing between Bao Yan and Xu Xingwan wasn’t supposed to blow up yet!!!”
