Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Background and Past (7)

Only those who are in the thick of it, who see what each family member is really like day after day, can understand his life in the Jiang Family wasn’t always smooth sailing.

Furthermore, he didn’t even belong to them.

It was they who had infringed upon his right to a normal life.

Leaving was the best plan.

"Did you want to talk about Jiang Zhe?" Qin Jingchen asked, getting straight to the point.

Jiang Yunxuan nodded: "I think we should stop suing Jiang Fanyue."

Qin Jingchen looked at him: "Reason."

"I don’t want my sister caught in the middle and to suffer. Although Jiang Fanyue deserves to be sued, my sister has already been through a lot. But continuing the lawsuit, I hear the evidence isn’t entirely complete, which could drag on for a long time, and more importantly, the elderly can’t withstand it."

He was referring to Jiang Yaowang.

He didn’t have much feeling for Jiang Yaowang, the only one he really cared about was Jiang Zhe.

But as Jiang Zhe, to do such a thing bearing the weight of the old man’s feelings, how difficult it must be.

Jiang Yunxuan didn’t want to see Jiang Zhe in such a predicament, even if for her, that struggle was nothing more than a fleeting, subtle emotion in the cracks of her heart.

Even so, he couldn’t stand it.

"I don’t know if I’m making myself clear, I’m not doing this for anyone else, just for my sister..." Jiang Yunxuan hastily explained.

Qin Jingchen had already understood, it was rare for this kid to be so perceptive.

Jiang Zhang and Liang Jinlan were muddled, and the child they raised, Jiang Fanyue, was even more so.

Jiang Zhe was clear-headed and smart, and so was this kid.

"I understand," Qin Jingchen nodded.

"I knew you would understand!" Jiang Yunxuan became excited.

Qin Jingchen patted his head: "Go on!"

Only then did Jiang Yunxuan run back into the crowd, waving at Qin Jingchen.

When Qin Jingchen came out of the orphanage, Qin He had just finished delivering medicine to Director Kang.

"Mr. Qin!"

"Let Lou Ye keep suing Jiang Fanyue."

"Understood, Mr. Qin."

Qin Jingchen did promise Jiang Yunxuan, but how could he let Jiang Fanyue get off so easily?

Only when she’d had enough trouble would she fulfill the request he promised to Jiang Yunxuan.

Jiang Fanyue, nearly driven to the brink by the police’s repeated investigations and Lou Ye’s relentless questioning, wasn’t having a peaceful time even while living in the hospital.

The lawyer Zhou Yaming hired for her could only ensure some of her basic rights, not fully exonerate her.

Wen Xia went to visit Jiang Fanyue in the hospital several times, only to find her undergoing questioning.

After the officials left, Wen Xia entered, and Jiang Fanyue’s emotions seemed to collapse: "Auntie!"

"It’s okay, since they want to investigate, just cooperate with the investigation if you haven’t done anything. The police won’t wrong a good person," Wen Xia consoled her.

"What about my parents?" Jiang Fanyue changed the subject.

"They..." Wen Xia shook her head.

After Jiang Fanyue was hospitalized, Jiang Zhang and Liang Jinlan never visited once.

Jiang Zhang was dealt a heavy blow by the matter with Jiang Yunxuan, was dispirited and unable to accept that his son wasn’t his biological child.

Liang Jinlan couldn’t accept it either and lost control of her emotions.

Moreover, they had invested all their possessions in Jiang Fanyue’s fashion design business, and now the unsold stock was piling up, attracting no buyers. The Jiang Family’s savings accumulated over the years had dwindled to nothing, leaving them unable to cope.

The couple at home were at their wits’ end, blaming each other, and couldn’t care less about seeing Jiang Fanyue.

Jiang Fanyue understood in her heart and looked down.

"Forget it, don’t worry too much. But Fanyue, you might have to drop out of No.1 Middle School."

"Why? I didn’t do anything wrong!" Jiang Fanyue cried out agitatedly.

No.1 Middle School is the best school in Jincheng, why should she have to drop out!

"Listen to me, the fashion competition incident had already caused you some bad reputation. Now there’s Jiang Yunxuan’s incident. It’ll be tough for you to go back without dropping out."

Jiang Fanyue shook her head, she had worked hard to get into No.1 Middle School! Why should she be the one to drop out?

Wen Xia shook her head: "If you don’t drop out yourself, you will be expelled."

Jiang Fanyue’s eyes widened, her pupils dilated.

...

The words Jiang Yunxuan said to Qin Jingchen were not hidden from Jiang Zhe; he relayed them to her verbatim.

Jiang Zhe commented with just one sentence: "A woman’s mercy."

However, she eventually said, "Let it be."

Qin Jingchen complied, "Okay."

"Even if we can’t send Jiang Fanyue to prison, her reputation could not be worse," Xia Enci added from the side. "No matter how cleverly she tries to present herself, everyone knows she plagiarized, and even pushed her own brother down the stairs!"

Xiao Meng nodded: "Yes, the whole of Jincheng knows. But this is also the inevitable retribution she deserves."

Jiang Zhe didn’t care about any gossip; she held her phone, walked across the sports field after PE, heading towards the classroom.

Accompanied by Wen Xia, Jiang Fanyue was walking over.

The usually lofty and arrogant Miss Jiang, with gauze still covering her face and wearing sunglasses to hide her eyes and face, which, despite the swelling having gone down, was still unfit to be seen.

People whispered around them: "Turns out she was just adopted, yet she acts like a real lady."

"She went to N Country to plagiarize, truly shaming our school, our country’s face. No wonder she doesn’t dare to show her face."

"And she claims to be depressed, what, is depression some people’s get-out-of-jail free card or something?"

"Not to say it harshly, but sometimes character really shouldn’t be tied to academic performance. Those with bad character should just be outright rejected."

The murmuring around her reached Jiang Fanyue’s ears, as well as Jiang Zhe’s.

Jiang Zhe casually stood there, like a part of the scenery.

And Jiang Fanyue was the one ruining that scenery.

"Jiang Zhe, Fanyue wants to apologize to you in person," Wen Xia said.

"No need, I’ve said that only when I see her eyeballs will I consider forgiving her."

Jiang Fanyue twisted her fingers: "I’m sorry, Jiang Zhe, I really didn’t mean it with Yunxuan’s incident, the plagiarism thing, I also didn’t mean it. I sincerely apologize to you."

"If it was unintentional, what are you apologizing for? You’ve said it all, both directly and indirectly. Tsk! Playing both victim and perpetrator, you’re quite the expert," Xia Enci immediately exposed her lies one by one.

Jiang Fanyue’s face was covered, her emotions unreadable.

People around felt so embarrassed for her that they could almost twist their toes.

Jiang Fanyue clenched her fists tightly, trembling all over, she didn’t want to apologize at all!

But Director Han insisted that she personally apologize to Jiang Zhe.

She had no choice!

Xia Enci asked: "Why aren’t you speaking? If you did nothing wrong, why apologize? And if you’re apologizing, why say it wasn’t intentional? Jiang Fanyue, this is really an apology that isn’t one; listening to your words is like not hearing anything at all."

Wen Xia smiled awkwardly: "Fanyue really meant her apology sincerely, we still have to visit Director Han, so maybe we should leave it at that?"
