Chapter 367: 240 Father and son turn against each other, Wuye schemes for people’s hearts (3 more updates)

Despite the arrival of spring, the wind in Beijing was still biting cold. As Jiang Yanting entered the house, a chill welcomed him, making everyone shiver.

"Back so early today?" Fan Mingyu smiled upon seeing her son return home.

"I knew you and Xiaowu were coming back today. I was too busy at work to go to the airport, so I came back early," Jiang Yanting explained, looking down imperiously. Then he glanced at Xie Jing, "Why are you in my house?"

"I..." Xie Jing was on the verge of tears.

"Brother, do you remember the incident that happened at Wanwan’s studio in Pingjiang a few days ago?" Jiang Jinsang asked him.

"I remember."

"It was him who did it."

"Five Lord, this..." Xie Jing was on the brink of losing it. This was the Jiang family’s territory, and the old lady was sitting upright, caressing her cane, beaming brilliantly at him.

"What?" Jiang Yanting took off his coat, revealing a black shirt and golden arm bands, exuding an unspoken arrogance. His tone, slightly rising, was clearly extremely displeased, "You caused a scene at the Xie family and now you’re bullying our Jiang family?"

"Second Master, it’s not related to me. He made me do it!" Jiang Jinsang brought Xie Jing back with a clear purpose, which was obviously effective.

Pointing at Jiang Zhaolin, he attacked him right from his entrance!

"Nonsense!" Jiang Zhaolin slammed his hand on the table, leaping up with fierce eyes that seemed ready to spit fire, glaring intensely at him, "Xie Jing, try saying that again!"

He was also stern-looking, with gloomy and slightly fierce eyes. His harsh tone truly frightened Xie Jing, making his legs weak.

He was not like Jiang Chengsi, who could remain calm under such pressure. His face instantly turned pale with fear.

Jiang Jinsang twisted his fingers and remained silent.

"It’s not nonsense; you approached me and told me that the evidence Shen Zhixian presented at the annual meeting to expose me was provided by Five Lord. I previously harbored malicious intentions toward Miss Tang and was reprimanded by her. I thought she and Five Lord would complain about me, so it made sense for him to teach me a lesson!"

"What are you saying? You coveted Wanwan?" The details were not known to Fan Mingyu; Jiang Jinsang had not elaborated on them. He mentioned only that the whole affair was related to Jiang Zhaolin.

So her previous intervention was merely an attempt to smooth things over!

"Madam Jiang, I was wrong, truly. I was just being used by him. I didn’t dare seek revenge on Five Lord. He suggested I tamper with her studio, arranged for me to invite her out, and had me keep her at the hotel overnight, and then the next day..."

Even though Xie Jing was also afraid of Jiang Zhaolin, given the situation, he knew where to stand.

But just as he was speaking, Jiang Zhaolin suddenly burst forth and kicked him.

Although Xie Jing was stout, he was not much of a fighter, having been beaten by Jiang Jinsang a few days ago, still nursing those injuries. The harsh kick sent him staggering to the ground, completely humiliated.

F*ck, I must really be cursed this year.

"Utter nonsense! When did I ever instruct you to do such things? Speak such drivel again, and I won’t spare you!" Jiang Zhaolin’s eyes were frighteningly fierce, "Who indeed prompted you to slander me?"

"Uncle, what do you mean by that?" Jiang Jinsang raised an eyebrow.

"Xiaowu, I’m not talking about you. It’s just that this person is too despicable. He has been kicked out by the Xie family. How can his words be trusted..."

At this moment, Jiang Zhaolin wished Xie Jing were mute, the anger Jiang Chengsi provoked in him earlier he now wanted to vent entirely on him.

He lifted his foot to kick him again...

Xie Jing’s breath faltered; he knew that siding against them wouldn’t be smooth, yet he had prepared himself to be beaten. Still, the kick didn’t come.

Jiang Yanting intervened, stopping Jiang Zhaolin.

"Yanting! What do you mean by this?"

"Let him finish his words. You can react afterward. Why the hurry? Could it be that you want to silence him? Can’t you forgive him, uncle? Are you threatening him?"

"Working against us, ungrateful, ousted by the Xie family, can his word be believed?" Jiang Zhaolin bit his teeth.

Jiang Chengsi scoffed lightly, "Working against us... ungrateful... those words, not just applicable to him in this room, right?"

"You..." Jiang Zhaolin trembled with rage, "You are really my wonderful son!"

He knew just how to provoke him.

"Continue, Xie Jing," Jiang Zhenhuan said, frowning, "You say Zhaolin instructed you; why would he do that? Was it targeted at Wanwan?"

"I don’t know why; I don’t understand his grudge against Miss Tang! He actually wanted her to be disgraced." Xie Jing truly didn’t know, "I just wanted some payback, and I was unclear about many things!"
