Chapter 297: Chapter 296: Losing His Temper (Fifth Update)

As soon as Li Shan finished speaking, the Jiang Family members almost bowed their heads to the ground.

Old Sir Mai glared and said, "Second Young Master Zhu from Tianmei Electric? What audacity, daring to drug Chuchu, and this Lin Jiayi, sounds like a girl’s name, utterly shameless."

At this, the faces of the Jiang Family members looked even worse. Mr. Jiang snorted with less confidence, "She is my granddaughter, who can tell whether this confession is true or false."

Old Sir Mai looked at him and said coldly, "It’s just Second Young Master from Tianmei. The police station wouldn’t frame them." This meant the transcript was undoubtedly true.

Mr. Mai, who often speaks in support of his father, timely said, "I happen to know Director Wang from the Beijing Police Station, should I give him a call to have them investigate this thoroughly?"

The Jiang Family’s hearts shuddered, and Second Uncle Jiang and Third Uncle Jiang quickly looked towards the eldest brother, everyone more or less knew what was going on, if they investigate thoroughly, who knows what the outcome could turn out to be. Minimizing the big issues into small ones, and dissolving the small ones would be the best outcome.

Unfortunately, Father Jiang’s face looked terrible, furious at what his sister and niece had done, not expecting they would stoop so low as to harm Wan Chu’er like this.

Speaking of which, Wan Chu’er also suffered innocently because of the Jiang Family.

Father Jiang said to Wan Chu’er, "Chuchu, I’m sorry you were subjected to this. Uncle will make sure Jiayi apologizes formally to you. If you have any other requests, just say."

Third Aunt Jiang, struck by a rare spark of inspiration, quickly said, "Yes, yes, thankfully Chuchu wasn’t harmed this time. No harm done is good, that’s why wrongdoers cannot do such bad deeds, look now Jiayi brought trouble on herself."

She subtly reminded everyone that although Lin Jiayi harbored ill intentions, she ultimately did not cause any harm to Wan Chu’er, and Lin Jiayi was now deeply ensnared herself.

Third Uncle Jiang also said, "It’s good that nothing happened, good."

They really wanted to minimize this issue and gloss over it.

Brothers’ intentions, Father Jiang understood all too clearly, he suddenly became furious, veins bulging on his forehead, and exclaimed loudly, "What do you mean nothing happened? You all must be taught a lesson, truly lawless!"

Old Sir Zhong waved his hand, stood up, followed by Old Sir Mai standing up, and Mr. Mai naturally hurriedly stood up, thus the Jiang Family members all stood up, not knowing what Old Sir Zhong meant.

Old Sir Zhong slowly said, "Alright, let’s clarify the issue, and let this be the end of it, and ensure it never happens again."

The Jiang Family collectively sighed with relief. Since the old patriarch had spoken, there should be no further objections.

Mr. Jiang, fearing Old Sir Zhong might change his mind, unusually took the initiative to say, "Thank you, if anyone troubles Chuchu again, I’ll be the first to not let them off!"

Old Sir Zhong nodded, acknowledging his words, which comforted Mr. Jiang a lot.

"I’ve been out for quite some time; I’ll head back first." With that, he began to walk outside.

Elder Mai quickly said, "Let me escort you."

Old Sir Zhong pointed at Li Shan, "He will escort me." Then he said to Chuchu, "Go play on your own, and come back home after you’re done having fun."

Wan Chu’er blinked, the old patriarch’s withdrawal seemed a bit sudden. She glanced at the other members of the Jiang Family, then smiled and said, "Qiqi and I have some matters to attend to, we should also be leaving."

Thus, with a flurry, Old Sir Zhong left, Wan Chu’er left, and the three from the Mai Family left as well, and soon only the Jiang Family remained.

As soon as the door closed, Third Uncle Jiang complained: "Big brother, what you did was really underhanded. Did you already know that Wan Chu’er’s maternal grandfather was no ordinary man? How could you keep such a thing from everyone?

This isn’t something shameful, so why not speak up? If you had spoken up, we wouldn’t have lost face like this today!"

"Smash!"

Father Jiang’s face turned livid, and he threw the cup in his hand to the ground, startling everyone, and they all shut up.

"Even after revealing it, how could I look forward to this performance of you changing your faces! You still know what shame is?! Do you even have any shame?

I actually didn’t know you all could be so deceitful. You’re still a director, still doing business—simply worse than a three-year-old! Even a three-year-old knows right from wrong. What about you all! Over the years, you have been no better than dogs!"

Father Jiang, with hands on his hips, paced back and forth in the living room, loudly berating everyone.

Except for Mrs. Jiang, the others shrank back a bit from the scolding.

Father Jiang, being a military man, naturally had an imposing presence and voice filled with stern authority, like thousands of horses galloping, that made one’s heart pound.

After Father Jiang vented, Second Uncle Jiang said quietly, "Big brother, stop it, we were wrong. To err is human, rest assured, we will not behave foolishly behind your back again, and we will definitely treat Wan Chu’er well in the future, as if she were our own eldest son’s wife."

Third Uncle Jiang’s eyes lit up, thinking that Second Brother sure knew how to speak. He also chimed in: "Big brother, we were wrong. We definitely won’t do such shameless things again."

"Smack!" Father Jiang angrily slapped the table, making a loud noise. He bellowed, "Keep your disgusting schemes to yourselves! In the future? There won’t be a next time! Keep yourselves honest from now on. If anyone dares to secretly approach Xiao Chu or Old Sir Zhong behind my back, don’t blame me for turning hostile and disowning family!"

This time, people like Second Uncle Jiang were frightened by the older brother’s imposing manner, feeling indignant but not daring to speak further.

When his eldest son lost his temper, Mr. Jiang also seemed uneasy, his face stern, remaining silent.

Father Jiang huffed and then said, "Enough, all of you go back. Pass on what I said today to Lirong."

Second Uncle Jiang and Third Uncle Jiang, seeing the firm will of their elder brother, left with heads hung low after a long and exhausting day.

Second Aunt Jiang and Third Aunt Jiang wanted to talk a bit more with Mrs. Jiang, but she also had a cold expression and turned to go back to her room, not bothering to warmly see them out like before.

Because of this matter, Father Jiang was very disappointed with his siblings, and the Jiang family became quite distant from these relatives.

After Wan Chu’er and Mai Qiqi wandered outside for a while, they went back home, finally resolving the Jiang family’s issues and resolving a worry of hers. She planned to focus earnestly on her studies.

From then on, to avoid disturbances, Wan Chu’er switched off her phone and moved directly to the old family house, staying in mostly except for school, reading books, playing on the computer, and practicing her skills.

During this period, Lin Jiayi even came to look for her at school twice, but Wan Chu’er completely ignored her, treating her like air. She had avenged her past life’s grievances and saw no need to waste another minute on that person.

Thus, a month passed, and after finishing her final semester exams, Wan Chu’er was finally on vacation.

After completing her last exam, she hurried out of the classroom and headed towards the old house. In her rush, as she turned a corner, she bumped directly into someone.

Wan Chu’er, usually agile, could have easily sidestepped, but the other person reached out an arm and firmly grasped her waist.
