At first, Lin Qingqian did not sense that something was wrong. When she saw Song Qin post a message about Jiang Yanshen, she thought that it was a subordinate’s admiration for her superior.
In the end, on this day, Song Qin posted countless messages about Jiang Yanshen on her Moments, each accompanied by a photo of Jiang Yanshen.
For example, there was a photo of Jiang Yanshen eating. The caption was:
“Director Jiang works very hard. He even ate very simple lunches.”
Then, there was a photo of Jiang Yanshen having a meeting with the higher-ups. The caption was: Director Jiang had a meeting with the higher-ups and severely criticized the management’s lazy work attitude. Of course, Director Jiang had higher expectations of himself. If one followed such a leader, one would benefit a lot. I believe that Tianyue Group will get better and better.
Another example was the photo of Jiang Yanshen meeting and negotiating with a business partner. The caption was: Big Boss can simply become a negotiator.
This was almost a live-stream. She was just short of taking a photo of Jiang Yanshen going to the toilet.
Not to mention Lin Qingqian, even Lu Yuan could not help but complain,
“What’s wrong with you? You suddenly want to take over?”
Song Qin: …Heh. (Subtext: You’re finished…)
Lu Yuan: “Speak in human language. Otherwise, don’t blame me for punching you for each ‘heh’!”
Song Qin: Director Jiang wants you to go to the office.
Five minutes later, Song Qin deleted Lu Yuan’s comments on her WeChat
Moments and left a new comment.
Lu Yuan: Director Jiang is really a wise leader that’s hard to come by in a hundred years. With such a leader, I believe we can all reach the peak of our lives and marry fair, rich, and beautiful women! Song Qin: “…Heh heh heh.”
Lin Qingqian, who had personally seen this post:
Can you be any more ridiculous?
Thinking of how he had said that he would report everything to her last night, he actually really let Song Qin live-stream his movements on her Moments…
Lin Qingqian was angry and amused, but she also felt inexplicably touched. She silently liked Song Qin’s Moments.
After receiving Madam’s praise, Song Qin ran to Jiang Yanshen with her phone to take credit.
As for Lu Yuan… he aggrievedly borrowed the toilet brush from the cleaning auntie to wash the toilet.
Li Ruzhu’s case was quickly closed. All three of her rapists were sentenced and transferred to prison, but this did not bring much comfort to Li Ruzhu.
Because Li Ruzhu was discovered to be pregnant, Li Dashun brought her to the hospital for an abortion to avoid embarrassment for himself.
After going through such an ordeal, Li Ruzhu was so thin that she didn’t look human anymore. Her mental state wasn’t good either. She often mumbled that Jiang Yanshen had harmed her and occasionally went crazy and smashes everything in the house. She even scratched the servants.
Li Dashun was annoyed by her, so he simply sent her to the mental hospital.
In any case, the doctor said that she was mentally unstable. It was better to let her recuperate in the mental hospital so that she would not run out and talk nonsense and cause more trouble for him.
Other than Li Guilan visiting her one time when Li Ruzhu was sent to the mental hospital, her ‘sisters’ like Ling Shuang who had once hung out with her had long disappeared. When they occasionally mentioned her, their words were filled with sarcasm.
After Li Guilan saw Li Ruzhu, her heart was in turmoil, especially when she thought of Jiang Yanshen’s words. She felt inexplicably panicked.
She called Li Dashun to discuss with him if they should go overseas!
Li Dashun had accepted a few small projects from the Ming Corporation and earned a large pot of money. His mistress had also given birth to a son for him, so he had long forgotten about Li Guilan. Before she could finish speaking, he hung up impatiently.
Li Guilan was so angry that she smashed her cell phone.
—Knock, knock.
There was a knock at the door.
Li Guilan took a few deep breaths and said unhappily, “What’s the matter?” “Madam, two police officers are looking for you!”
Li Guilan was stunned. She subconsciously wondered if what had happened to Li Ruzhu was being blamed on her.
She went to open the door and saw two uniformed police officers standing at
the door. One of them said in a formal tone, “You’re Madam Li Guilan?” Li Guilan nodded. “I’m Li Guilan. What’s wrong?”
“Somebody has reported that you are related to the car accident and murder involving Jiang Chongyan back then. We would like you to come with us to provide a statement.” The man displayed his ID.
When Li Guilan heard the words “murder”, she instantly felt as if she had been hit in the head. Her entire body swayed and she almost fainted on the spot.
In mid-March, the temperature in Lan City had already risen a lot. The light of the setting sun gently enveloped this prosperous and beautiful city.
Jiang Yanshen rejected a business cocktail party and returned to Begonia Courtyard early.
Lin Qingqian had yet to return, so the auntie went forward and asked him what he wanted to eat for dinner.
Jiang Yanshen took off his coat and handed it to her. He thought for a few seconds and said, “My wife likes to eat fish. Make the necessary preparations.”
The auntie smiled and nodded. After hanging the coat on the rack, she planned to go to the kitchen.
Just when Jiang Yanshen was about to go upstairs, an angry voice came from the door. “Jiang Yanshen, stop right there.”
Jiang Yanshen stopped in his tracks and turned around to see Li Guilan walking in with an angry expression. Her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
His cold brows furrowed slightly, and his thin lips pursed tightly without saying anything. He gave the auntie a look, and the auntie tactfully returned to the kitchen.
Li Guilan walked in with her bag and gritted her teeth. “Why did you do this?” Jiang Yanshen stared at her quietly, still not saying anything.
“I’m asking you, why did you do this?” Li Guilan shouted hysterically. “I’m your biological mother. Why did you do this? Are you only satisfied if I go to jail?”
Jiang Yanshen’s black eyes tightened, and confusion flashed across his eyes. He quickly understood what had happened.
Standing on the stairs, he looked down at her and pursed his thin lips. “So you still remember that you’re my biological mother?”
His cold tone was filled with mockery.
Li Guilan’s face alternated between green and white as she trembled with anger. “Your father was killed by Jiang Chongjing. It has nothing to do with me!”
“Nothing to do with you at all?” Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips, the light in his eyes becoming colder. “If you hadn’t revealed Father’s whereabouts to Jiang Chongjing, would he have had the chance to make a move?”
“You actually have the cheek to say that it has nothing to do with you?” As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn’t help but sneer.
He was amazed by her shamelessness.
“Who asked him to go and see that b*tch? He deserved to die! What has it got to do with me!” When Li Guilan mentioned what happened back then, she did not feel guilty at all. She even righteously thought that Jiang Chongyan deserved it!
It was the Jiang Family and Jiang Chongyan who had let her down. She was the victim!
“If Jiang Chongyan deserved to die when he went to see his ex, what about you?” Jiang Yanshen’s black eyes were as sharp as blades as he looked at her. “Shouldn’t the bastard child you created from your affair with Li Dashun be dismembered?”
Li Guilan’s breathing stopped as if she had been struck by lightning. She looked at him in a daze. “You, you…”
She glared at Jiang Yanshen in shock. She did not expect him to know… He actually knew everything.
Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips and said coldly, “Even if Old Madam didn’t get rid of that bastard back then. I wouldn’t have let him be born in this world.”
Back then, Li Guilan had an affair with Li Dashun and became pregnant. Jiang Chongyan was unaware of this matter, but she didn’t manage to hide it from the sharp-eyed old lady.
Old Madam Jiang asked Madam Liu to take the abortion medicine, and Li Guilan aborted Li Dashun’s child.
Because the medicine’s style of abortion was not proper, Li Guilan went to the hospital to have her uterus cleaned. Her uterus was injured and she could no longer conceive, so she hated the old lady even more.
The blood on Li Guilan’s face drained completely. She looked at him with shock and resentment in her eyes… Her teeth were chattering. “I… I’m your mother!”
“In my heart, you’ve never been one.” Jiang Yanshen’s exquisite facial features were indifferent, and his eyes were as dark as an abyss. They were like a bottomless black hole, and his cold voice was filled with disgust. “Do you know why I let you return to the Jiang residence?”
“Why?” The word was squeezed out of her throat.
Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips. “Before I sent you to prison, I thought it would be very funny to see you acting like a clown all day.”
“You—” Li Guilan was so angry that she couldn’t speak. She didn’t expect it to be for such a reason!
She did not expect him to be playing with her from the beginning to the end.
“Do you think you can stay out of this just because Jiang Chongjing was the one who executed the plan?” Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips curled into a mocking smile. “Although no lawyer in Lan City will take on your case, the court will assign you legal aid. Go and beg your legal aid now and see if he can save you a few years in prison.”
With that, he turned to go upstairs.
Li Guilan stood rooted to the ground. Her eyes were filled with hatred and anger as she looked at his back. She seemed to have lost her mind from hatred. “I don’t want to go to jail. I don’t want to go to jail…”
She muttered a few words and suddenly took out a knife from her handbag…
The car stopped at the door, and Chen Mu got out to open the door for her.
Lin Qingqian got out of the car and saw that there was already a car parked in the parking lot. Her eyes immediately softened.
Ah Yan had already returned.
She turned around and walked quickly into the house. As she reached the entrance and was about to change her shoes, she called out in a light and pleasant voice, “Ah Yan…”
She saw Li Guilan and was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, she heard her shout, “Jiang Yanshen…”
Their voices sounded almost at the same time…
Jiang Yanshen’s first reaction when he turned around was to look at Lin Qingqian, who had returned, and ignore Li Guilan, who was rushing towards him.
By the time he reacted, the knife in Li Guilan’s hand had already entered his abdomen, and blood immediately gushed out.
—Bang!
Lin Qingqian’s bag and the flowers she had specially bought on the way fell to the ground, and she was stunned.
Jiang Yanshen frowned and looked down at Li Guilan’s hand gripping the handle of her knife tightly, her eyes filled with hatred…
“If you want me to go to jail, I’ll let you die…” With that, Li Guilan pulled out the knife.
Blood splattered all over Li Guilan’s face, making her look even more ferocious and ugly.
Jiang Yanshen covered his wound with his hand. Blood kept flowing out through his fingers, soaking his pants like water…
“Ah Yan..
Lin Qingqian finally reacted and ran towards him in a panic…
When Jiang Yanshen saw her coming over, his eyes revealed worry. “Qianqian, don’t come over…”
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Qingqian was already running towards him.
It was as if she had used all her strength and her entire life…
Just to be by his side..
