Chapter 848: Do You Understand the Severity of the Matter?
Editor: Henyee Translations
“Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
When Jiang Wenxu took the initiative to start the conversation and looked at his Little Sister, there was still a hint of hope in his eyes.
Jiang Weiyang’s words were stuck in her throat. She instinctively wanted to defend herself, but this time, Jiang Wenxu had taken out ironclad evidence. Even if she wanted to retort, she couldn’t.
She had indeed done all of these things.
If it were anyone else, Jiang Weiyang would still have some room for maneuver, but the person questioning her now was her own Big Brother, Jiang Wenxu.
“I—”
Jiang Weiyang opened her mouth. “I just want to teach her a lesson.”
“The lesson that you’re speaking of is hiring someone to stab a knife into someone else’s body.” Jiang Wenxu’s face was dark as he spoke the cold and heartless truth.
Jiang Weiyang almost immediately said, “That was just an accident. How could I have expected him to do that?”
“I only asked him—”
“To—”
She opened her mouth. She originally wanted to say that she was just asking the other party to teach Murong Qiao a lesson. In fact, she had never thought about what would happen after that.
At the very least, Murong Chuan’s injury was not within Jiang Weiyang’s expectations at all. However, since the matter had already developed to that point, she could only go with the flow and leave this matter there to get rid of her suspicion and let the person who held the knife take the blame for her.
“I’ll give that person enough money. He’s just going to take the blame for a while.”
Jiang Weiyang thought that Jiang Wenxu was dissatisfied with her way of handling the matter, so she took the initiative to add a few words.
The Jiang Family was not short of money. Although they were not as rich as the top families, Jiang Weiyang had never been troubled by money since she was young.
Seeing that his Little Sister still didn’t realize the real reason for her mistake, Jiang Wenxu only felt a wave of pain.
“Big Brother—”
Jiang Weiyang was about to say something when she was suddenly interrupted by Jiang Wenxu slamming the table. The deafening sound frightened her so much that she couldn’t continue.
“Enough!”
Jiang Wenxu’s angry voice became firm.
His disappointed gaze landed on his Little Sister. Seeing that the other party still didn’t know her mistake and didn’t realize her problem at all, he finally couldn’t help but sigh.
“Someone has already investigated your actions. If the evidence for this matter is gathered, it will be on you in the end.”
“You’ve deliberately injured people. It’ll be normal for you to go to jail for a few years.”
“How is that possible!” Jiang Weiyang immediately retorted.
There was definitely no way she would go to jail. If she has a criminal record, she would be laughed at by many people.
“It’s not up to you.”
Jiang Wenxu saw things clearer than Jiang Weiyang. “Now that Murong Qiao has already investigated this matter, if there’s really any evidence on you, she’s not the only one we have to worry about.”
“What’s important is what the Murong Family will do to us. Have you considered the consequences? Weiyang.”
When he said the last sentence, Jiang Wenxu also felt a little tired.
Honestly, he had never expected Jiang Weiyang to cause him so much trouble. As a result, it has become a huge problem. It might not even be enough even if he offered to compensate the other party with the entire Jiang Corporation.
“I—I—”
Jiang Weiyang originally wanted to say something else, but when she heard her Big Brother mention the Murong Family, her voice turned hoarse.
She had been thinking about Murong Qiao previously and had never considered that the Murong Family would be involved.
After hearing her Big Brother’s words, she finally realized that it didn’t matter if she provoked Murong Qiao, but the brothers of the Murong Family all doted on Murong Qiao.
Her face was a little pale, and her voice was weaker than before.
“…Listen to me. Take the initiative to reconcile with Murong Qiao.”
Jiang Wenxu rubbed his aching eyebrows. “We’ll settle this matter in private. Then, there’ll be some room for negotiation.”
At the very least, the Jiang family couldn’t fall just like that. Thinking of Murong Chuan’s injuries, although they were not fatal, according to the Murong family’s protective personality, Jiang Wenxu still felt that this matter was very troublesome.
When she heard Jiang Wenxu say that he wanted her to take the initiative to coax the other party and reconcile with Murong Qiao, she subconsciously bade farewell and felt unwilling. Then, she realized that she might have really caused a huge disaster this time. She shrunk her neck and didn’t want to speak.
This was the first time Jiang Wenxu didn’t let his Little Sister do as she pleased. Instead, he forcefully gave her the only way out.
“I don’t care what method you use to obtain Murong Qiao’s forgiveness or what price you have to pay. In any case, if you can’t resolve this matter, I can only take the initiative to bring you to the police station to take responsibility.”
If she turned herself in, the sentence would be slightly lighter. Jiang Wenxu planned in his heart and even considered finding a good lawyer.
As for what he had said just now, it was also his ultimatum to his Little Sister. He hoped that the other party would admit her mistake and change her mind at this time. Although this matter had already become serious to a certain extent, he thought of Murong Qiao and guessed that she had probably not informed the other Murong Family members. Jiang Wenxu prayed in his heart that there was still a turning point in this matter.
After saying this, he didn’t care about Jiang Weiyang’s reply and stood up to leave. He couldn’t leave the company for long. The losses from before were not especially heavy, but there were many projects waiting for him to work on.
When he reached the door of the study, Jiang Wenxu thought for a moment and looked back at his silent sister.
“You have to give me an answer in three days at the latest.”
After saying this last sentence, Jiang Wenxu lifted his feet and left the study.
Jiang Weiyang sat at the side in a daze. She naturally didn’t want to apologize to Murong Qiao, but her Big Brother’s words were firm, so she couldn’t not do it.
Just as she was hesitating and didn’t know what to do, Sofia suddenly called.
“Where are you? I’m almost at the agreed place. I even brought you a gift.”
A light voice came from the other end, accompanied by happy and cheerful laughter.
When Jiang Weiyang heard Sofia’s voice, she suddenly came back to her senses as if she had woken up from a dream.
“I suddenly don’t want to go anymore,” she said to Sofia in a hoarse voice, but her voice couldn’t help but reveal a hint of grievance.
There was something strange in her voice. Hearing that, Sophia immediately became interested and took the initiative to show concern. “What’s wrong? Did you encounter any problems? You can tell me.”
Thinking of Jiang Wenxu’s instructions to her before he left, asking her to apologize to Murong Qiao personally and take all the responsibility to admit her fault, Jiang Weiyang didn’t want to do such a thing.
Amidst this weak and intense struggle, an absurd thought suddenly appeared in Jiang Weiyang’s heart, but it also vaguely excited her.
Hence, she ignored Sofia’s concern and suddenly changed the topic.
“Sophia, I remember you bought a cruise ship when you pulled me out to play some time ago, right?”
Seeing her suddenly ask about the cruise, Sophia’s eyes flickered a few times before she gave Jiang Weiyang an affirmative answer.
“Can I borrow it for a few days?” Jiang Weiyang asked again.
Out of interest, Sophia naturally agreed to the other party’s request quickly. “Of course, we’re friends. If you want to play, I can even gift you one.”
According to Sophia, something interesting was about to happen.
