Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Background and Past (1)

Han Jiayan glanced at Gu Jiaheng and saw that his face indeed looked horribly upset.

Jiang Fanyue’s face was completely unrecognizable, swollen beyond recognition.

She was filled with regret and hatred, and couldn’t accept it—why did Jiang Zhe have such good luck! Why did the heavens favor her so!

Everyone had a consensus in their hearts that since Jiang Zhe now had this status and was with Qin Jingchen, then this time, with her character, she would definitely not help Jiang Fanyue.

That is to say, the Jiang Family was really finished.

When Jiang Zhe came out, her hands were still shaking a bit.

Not because of the act of hitting someone, nor because she was angry about their misunderstanding.

But because of the matter with the two photos of Jiang Yunxuan, which would take some more time to resolve.

Qin Jingchen felt her emotions and reached out to embrace her, pressing her head into his chest.

Fen Ye and Qin He had been following close behind them, and seeing this scene, both tactfully stepped back.

Jiang Zhe knew that allowing herself to feel this way, allowing herself to depend on and get used to a person like this, was very bad.

But she let herself do it anyway.

Feeling that she had calmed down a bit, Qin Jingchen whispered in her ear, "Feeling better?"

"Qin Jingchen," Jiang Zhe called his name.

"Hmm?" His voice was pleasing, filled with natural tenderness.

Jiang Zhe spoke softly, "Are you serious?"

There were actually many questions she wanted to ask, but after summing up, there were only these four words.

Are you serious?

Are you serious about her, about feelings? About the future? About everything?

Qin Jingchen caught the deep meaning in her questions, and his voice became solemn as well, "Serious."

"Okay, if you embrace another woman in the future, I won’t mind a dagger thrust into your chest," Jiang Zhe said, then broke free from his embrace and turned to walk away.

Qin Jingchen quickly followed her footsteps and asked, "What material do you prefer for the dagger? I’ll custom order it for you."

"Boring," Jiang Zhe returned to her casual indifference.

The two entered the private room, and then Fen Ye and Qin He followed in.

Xiao Meng saw Jiang Zhe and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay? Your hands are so cold. I ordered a hot drink for you. Drink some quickly."

"I’m fine, let’s eat," Jiang Zhe sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and felt truly hungry.

Qin Jingchen sat down next to her, still pondering her question, "Are you serious?"

She had shown her softer side to him, those well-guarded tendernesses made even the tip of his heart soften.

He turned his head to glance at Jiang Zhe and asked, "Does your hand still hurt?"

"It doesn’t anymore," Jiang Zhe had already reverted to her usual demeanor.

"Next time you hit someone, remember to call me. There’s no need for you to take action yourself."

Hearing his tone of concern, Fen Ye and Qin He exchanged glances on the side, as if they had never seen the formidable side of Jiang Zhe.

All the people in the room combined might not even be able to withstand a beating from Jiang Zhe.

That night, Jiang Zhe didn’t return to school and stayed the night at Lushan Courtyard.

That night, she had a long phone call with Jiang Yunxuan.

...

Jiang Family.

Jiang Zhang and Liang Jinlan sat together, looking at each other.

The family business was on the brink of collapse, and now seeking Jiang Zhe’s help was utterly impossible.

Jiang Fanyue sat to one side, her entire face swollen like a pig’s head, and neither husband nor wife felt it appropriate to blame her.

Because their clothing business had completely collapsed, banks’ calls for debt collection had exploded their phones.

Both of them simply shut off their phones, as well as all the landlines in the house.

"I’m sorry, Mom and Dad, it’s my incompetence that got us into trouble with Jiang Zhe, I’m sorry." Jiang Fanyue attributed all her failures to having crossed Jiang Zhe.

It seemed that if it weren’t for Jiang Zhe, none of this would have happened.

After some thought, Jiang Zhang said, "Fanyue, go to your grandfather. With the situation at home as it is, there isn’t much we can do to help you anymore. You’re his flesh and blood, he surely won’t ignore you completely."

Actually, Jiang Fanyue had had this idea as well, but she couldn’t voice it herself.

Once Jiang Zhang said it, she still had to show some reluctance, "Mom and Dad, I won’t leave you..."

"Silly child, it’s not a matter of leaving or not. Go and beg your grandfather," Jiang Zhang said.

Liang Jinlan originally didn’t want to do this, but thinking that as long as Jiang Fanyue was well, she might be able to support Jiang Yunxuan in the future, she adopted the same attitude as Jiang Zhang.

After Jiang Fanyue went to rest, Jiang Zhang personally made a call to Jiang Yaowang.

The next morning.

A pall hung over the Jiang Family, and no one had the heart to eat breakfast.

Jiang Fanyue knew that Jiang Zhang had called Jiang Yaowang, but she didn’t know whether Jiang Yaowang would come to pick her up.

Thinking back to over half a year ago when Jiang Yaowang was to visit, Jiang Fanyue’s mood was starkly different from now.

"Sir, madam, Miss, there are visitors outside," Zhang Ma rushed in, her face lit with joy.

"Is it my grandfather who’s come?" Jiang Fanyue immediately stood up.

"No, they’re some very distinguished guests, surnamed Qin and Fen," Zhang Ma explained.

All three members of the family stood up; could it be Qin Jingchen and Fen Ye who had come?

What were they doing here?

Liang Jinlan did have thoughts of clinging to them, but she had lacked the opportunity.

Now that they had come to her doorstep, regardless of their reasons, she was overjoyed.

"Please invite them in quickly," Liang Jinlan said without delay.

Zhang Ma opened the door and welcomed the guests inside.

Jiang Fanyue looked at them full of expectation, only to realize that not only Qin Jingchen and Fen Ye had arrived, but Jiang Zhe and a few other people were present as well.

Judging from their positions, they had actually placed Jiang Zhe in the center.

Qin Jingchen’s gaze remained fixed on Jiang Zhe, as if there was no need to look at anyone else.

Jiang Zhang looked at them, filled with trepidation, and cautiously addressed them, "Mr. Qin, may I ask the purpose of your visit?"

"Where’s Yunxuan?" Jiang Zhe stepped forward and asked casually.

"This... Yunxuan is resting upstairs. His eye is better, but his spirits have not been great, so we’ve told him to rest more," Jiang Zhang explained.

Liang Jinlan was discontented with Jiang Zhe; she hadn’t yet settled the issue of Jiang Yunxuan’s eye injury with Jiang Zhe; what was this attitude?

But in front of Qin Jingchen, Liang Jinlan dared not show her anger.

"Let Yunxuan come down," Jiang Zhe ordered with a tone of command.

Liang Jinlan disagreed, "Yunxuan needs to rest. You can discuss anything else, but you can’t call for Yunxuan."

No sooner had she finished speaking when Jiang Yunxuan ran down from upstairs.

"Sister!" He ran straight towards Jiang Zhe.

Liang Jinlan could not stop him; he rushed up to Jiang Zhe.

Anxious, Liang Jinlan admonished, "Yunxuan, come back! Have you forgotten how painful it was when your eye was injured?"

Far from heeding her, Jiang Yunxuan moved even closer to Jiang Zhe’s side, and it was clear he had no intention of listening to Liang Jinlan.
