Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 238 - 238 238 What is this instant karma

Chapter 238: Chapter 238: What is this instant karma! Chapter 238: Chapter 238: What is this instant karma! Chen Li could no longer protect him.

If the media got hold of it, it wouldn’t just be a problem of not being able to protect him, Chen Li himself would also be dragged down.

The only demand others had was for him to break his son’s leg and send him abroad for two years.

Reasonable and appropriate.

Jiang Zhe and Xia Enci ordered takeout and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to eat.

As Xia Enci nibbled on pizza and scrolled through social media, she pointed out a post to Jiang Zhe, “Hey, does this person look familiar to you?”

“Not familiar.” Jiang Zhe glanced over; the person was wrapped up like a human-shaped matchstick, unrecognizable even if there was something familiar about them.

“It’s Qin He’s post, I feel this person looks somewhat familiar…”

So Xia Enci opened his chat box to ask, “Who’s the person lying down in the photo you just posted?”

“Chen Bo’an, he was messing with someone else’s wife and kicked an iron board, got beaten up by his dad, and broke his foot. He’s going abroad for treatment and recovery soon.”

“It’s him! Serves him right!”

“Guess what? Those two lackeys of his didn’t end up any better, their family businesses suffered damage, and they’re still in a mess because they were involved in the same mess with Chen Bo’an, and Chen’s dad also gave them a harsh beating.”

While replying to Qin He, Xia Enci read it aloud to Jiang Zhe, “Listen to this, this is what they call instant karma! That’s the so-called ‘if you don’t believe it, just look up, the heavens spare no one.'”

Jiang Zhe had already guessed something, and opened Qin Jingchen’s chat box to ask, “Chen Bo’an’s incident, what a coincidence, huh?”

“It is a bit coincidental. You can’t stand by the river without getting your shoes wet,” Qin Jingchen replied.

He didn’t ask who Chen Bo’an was, nor what had happened.

Obviously, he already knew.

Jiang Zhe asked, “Is the girl he forced to drink alcohol alright?”

Seeing that she knew everything, Qin Jingchen didn’t keep her in the dark, “She’s fine. There wasn’t really anything to do with the girl tonight; Chen Bo’an had sent people to look for you but failed and was sent away by Qin He. In a fit of anger, he picked on a pretty girl and ended up hitting the iron board. So, they just took this opportunity to settle all his affairs once and for all.”

In essence, it was Chen Bo’an’s own doing that led to his downfall so quickly.

Jiang Zhe didn’t have much of an impression of him. If he hadn’t continuously courted death, yesterday’s incident would have passed and been forgotten.

But he had provoked Qin Jingchen…

The outcome was entirely predictable.

Xia Enci also sorted out the events and posted on social media, berating Chen Bo’an severely.

Jiang Yaowang and Jiang Xiruo came back late.

Hearing the door, Xia Enci ran to open it for them.

“Grandpa, Mom, why are you so late?” Xia Enci asked.

“We had dinner with Chen Hall Chief, the uncle of Ding Xuexue’s cousin. His son had an incident, and it wouldn’t have been proper to leave right after dinner, so we visited the hospital,” Jiang Xiruo explained without asking for details about the incident.

“The person you’re talking about isn’t Chen Bo’an, is it?” Xia Enci made the connection between Chen Li and Chen Bo’an.

Jiang Xiruo made a surprised noise, “How did you know?”

“Oh, you saw my Moments,” Xia Enci was direct and straightforward.

Jiang Xiruo glanced at her face, which had suddenly changed, “Did he bully you guys yesterday?”

“He didn’t succeed! Wasn’t it because Qin He came over and scolded them away? And Xiaozhe was very clever at the time, they couldn’t touch us at all.”

Jiang Yaowang was very angry, “Turns out he’s a scumbag! I even went to visit him in the hospital just now!”

He was furious and got up to open the door.

Jiang Xiruo noticed his intent and held him back, “Dad, going to beat someone up now is probably not going to work. Didn’t you hear them just now? They said he will be leaving the country immediately.”

“Grandpa, I’m fine,” Jiang Zhe’s voice was very calm, as if he’d merely been disturbed by a fly.

His composure soothed Jiang Yaowang’s emotions, but his tone still carried a bit of guilt, “Xiaozhe, such a big thing happened, why didn’t you tell Grandpa?”

“Qin He had already scolded them at that time, there were no bad consequences, so I didn’t mention it.”

“You must tell me if something like this happens again, understand?” Jiang Yaowang said.

“Yeah,” Jiang Zhe replied nonchalantly.

Because of Xia Enci’s Moments post, Ding Yuehua and Yao Xiangzhi also briefly suspected that Chen Bo’an’s accident was related to Jiang Zhe.

But then they thought, Jiang Zhe simply didn’t have the clout to arrange such a thing, and they could only chalk it up to bad luck.

When Qin Jingchen had made the arrangements, he’d completely excluded Jiang Zhe, making her an outsider. Even if they saw some connection, it was impossible to directly link it to Jiang Zhe.

They knew Jiang Zhe wasn’t afraid of trouble, nor did he need to fear Chen Bo’an, but still, when it came to romantic scandals, the less attention the better.

Because of Chen Bo’an’s broken leg and his departure from the country, Yao Xiangzhi was already in tears and too distraught to care about anything else.

The incident with Chen Bo’an happened and was resolved overnight, as if a huge event had occurred, but for many people, it was just a tranquil and uneventful night.

In the end, the incident hit Ding Yuehua and Ding Xuexue’s emotions hard.

So when New Year’s Day arrived, their spirits weren’t all that high.

They only forced a smile because Jiang Yaowang was there, trying their best to liven up the atmosphere.

The dinner was held in a private room of a special family banquet hall.

It was a rare reunion for the holiday, and the atmosphere was very lively.

When discussing post-New Year’s plans, Jiang Xiruo laughed, “Right after the New Year, it’s Xiaozhe’s birthday. She’ll be turning eighteen then. I’d like to invite everyone to come and celebrate.”

She had already mentioned this to Jiang Zhe beforehand, and Jiang Zhe had agreed.

Hearing her bring it up, Jiang Zhe put down her chopsticks and spoke in a light voice, “Thank you, everyone.”

“Since it’s Xiaozhe’s birthday, and everyone happens to be in Beijing, let’s hold it here,” Ding Yuehua immediately said, “It’s indeed lively when we have a lot of people. I’ll help book a hotel.”

Jiang Yaowang and Jiang Xiruo were still considering where to choose, and Ding Yuehua had already made the decision, “That’s settled, then. I’ll take care of booking the restaurant. Just let us know how many guests you’ll be having.”

Seeing her sincere intent, Jiang Xiruo, with Jiang Yaowang and Jiang Zhe not objecting, agreed, “Alright, then we’ll trouble sister-in-law when the time comes.”

“No need for formalities among family. Xiaozhe’s parents passed away early, and as her aunt, I naturally have a responsibility to take care of her in these matters. Xuexue, remember to invite a few more friends to make it lively for Xiaozhe. I’ll also invite some relatives and close friends. An eighteenth birthday should be celebrated like this.”

Ding Xuexue nodded, “Right, Xiaozhe probably doesn’t know many friends in Beijing? It won’t look good if there are too few people at the birthday feast. I’ll just invite more friends when the time comes.”
