Jiang Yining returned to the classroom safely.
As soon as she entered, the entire classroom erupted in thunderous applause.
Jiang Yining was stunned.
Ye Xiaoxi stood up and clapped. “Yining, you’re the best!”
“Jiang Yining is awesome! To be able to answer Demon Zhang’s test paper in such a short period of time and even force her to apologize! You’re the first person to do that at Qing University!”
“Jiang Yining, you are the well-deserved number one in our class!”
Not long ago, they were still guessing that she was the student who stole the test paper. At this moment, they all admired her to the core!
Jiang Yining enjoyed everyone’s praise and said calmly, “Thank you for your praise. However, you should still treat me as an ordinary student in the future. I don’t want to enjoy the treatment of a national treasure everywhere.”
Everyone burst into laughter.
They didn’t expect the usually quiet Jiang Yining to have such a humorous side!
Jiang Yining walked over to Ye Xiaoxi and sat down beside her. A few girls surrounded her, vying to be friends with her. This time, they were conquered by her charm, not the power of the Lu family!
Ye Xiaoxi was genuinely happy for her, but she was also a little worried that she might lose favor.
Xiao Yeyu looked at Jiang Yining, who was the center of attention, and felt extremely jealous.
When could she be like her?
Standing in the crowd, dazzling everyone?
The noisy day of classes ended.
Jiang Yining hailed a cab and prepared to return to the villa.
However, she did not expect that not long after she walked out of the school gate, she would be blocked by a car.
Jiang Yining stopped in her tracks.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Elder Tao’s kind face.
“Miss Jiang, I have something to tell you. Please get in the car.”
“What can’t be said here?”
Jiang Yining hugged her book and refused to enter.
Elder Tao said unhurriedly, “It’s about the grudge between you and the Tao family. It’ll take a lot of time, so it’s not convenient for us to say it here.”
Jiang Yining wasn’t afraid that he would do anything to her. She stretched out two fingers and said, “My appearance fee is very expensive. Two million dollars.”
Elder Tao had expected her to refuse, but he did not expect her to ask for money.
He looked briefly surprised.
The next second…
He replied in a low voice, “Alright, I’ll give you five million.”
“Deal.”
Jiang Yining went around to the other side of the car, and the driver quickly opened the door for her.
After she sat down, the car slowly drove towards the Tao family’s old residence.
On the way, Elder Tao casually chatted with her.
Jiang Yining didn’t want to waste her breath and simply replied.
When they arrived at the Tao family.
As soon as they got out of the car, Xie Lian’s face was covered in bandages. She rushed toward them resentfully, pointed at Jiang Yining, and cursed, “It was this b*tch who ruined my appearance and left me in the wilderness. She almost killed me! Siyuan, you have to help me!”
Xie Lian was precious to Tao Siyuan.
Jiang Yining had slashed her face with a knife and almost killed her in the wilderness.
How could Tao Siyuan not be angry?
He wished he could stab Jiang Yining to death on the spot.
However, with the old master around, he did not dare to act rashly.
“Lianlian, calm down. The old man will avenge you.”
Xie Lian gritted her teeth so hard that they almost shattered.
The moment Jiang Yining saw Xie Lian, she knew that Elder Tao had called her over to settle the score.
But so what?
No one could find out that she was the one who had taken revenge on Xie Lian since she left no evidence behind.
Jiang Yining looked indifferent.
Elder Tao had originally thought that this girl would at least panic a little when she saw Xie Lian.
He did not expect her to be so calm.
Lu Zhi has married a good wife.
On the surface, she was gentle and harmless. She was an innocent and romantic girl.
But in secret, she was ruthless and calm.
“Please come in.”
Elder Tao said politely.
Jiang Yining entered the Tao family’s living room and was invited to sit on a mahogany chair.
The servants served everyone a cup of good Longjing tea.
They didn’t speak, and Jiang Yining didn’t take the initiative to speak either. She held a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
The only sound left in the living room was Xie Lian’s sobbing.
After a long while, Elder Tao finally couldn’t help but say, “Miss Jiang, my daughter-in-law said that you tied her up in the wilderness, disfigured her, and drugged her… Do you admit to this?”
“Do you have any evidence?” Jiang Yining smiled slightly. “If there is, 1’11 see you at the police station. If not, then I’ll sue you for slander, and we can meet in court!”
“We don’t have any evidence. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have specially invited you over.” Elder Tao went straight to the point. “Miss Jiang, don’t be nervous. I’m not trying to punish you for your crimes. I want to find a way to resolve this peacefully.”
After a pause, he added and emphasized, “It’s not just the conflict between you and Ah Lian, but it’s also the conflict between the entire Tao family.”
Oh.
So it was a peace treaty.
Jiang Yining murmured in her heart.
She still maintained an indifferent expression on her face.
“If you want to resolve the conflict between me and the Tao family, why don’t you ask your son and daughter-in-law what they did to me first?”
Elder Tao coughed awkwardly and said, “Siyuan has already told me. Ah Lian’s brother ran a casino, and your friend’s mother was involved. Miss Jiang, the casino has closed down, and the culprit has been punished by the law… Now, Ah Lian has become like this. Isn’t this enough to appease the hatred in your heart?”
“Heh…” Jiang Yining raised her eyebrows and stared at Tao Siyuan meaningfully. “Old Master, your son seems to have left out something.”
Elder Tao frowned.
Tao Siyuan also sensed that something was wrong. Didn’t they agree to stand up for All Lian?
Why was the old man so polite to Jiang Yining? Or even a little servile?
“Siyuan, tell me what you’ve done!”
Elder Tao shouted.
“I did what I was supposed to,” Tao Siyuan said stiffly. “Why did Jiang Yining have to be so lowly that she had to cut off my source of income for an irrelevant person? Dad, why are you being so polite to a little girl like her? We have a big family and great businesses, so why should we be afraid of her?” “You promised me before that you would give Ah Lian an explanation! You treated Jiang Yining so well in front of her. Aren’t you just trying to anger her?”
The more Tao Siyuan spoke, the angrier he became.
He even blamed Elder Tao.
Elder Tao slammed the table. “Are you the one in charge of the Tao family or me?”
“Of course, you’re the one who makes the decision,” Tao Siyuan said in a muffled voice, unwilling to give up.
“Then shut up.”
Eider Tao did not get angry, but he was dignified.
Tao Siyuan fell silent.
Elder Tao looked at Jiang Yining and softened his tone. “Miss Jiang, if you have anything to say, please say it.”
Tao Siyuan refused to tell her the truth, so she had to do it.
“Alright, then I’ll make things clear today. I did destroy your son’s casino, but he harmed my good friend. I don’t think I’m in the wrong, so I have a clear conscience. But your son hired someone to commit murder after the incident and almost killed me and Lu Zhi. Elder Tao, 1 don’t have any good points. 1 only have shortcomings. My most prominent flaw is that I would take revenge.”
Jiang Yining smiled faintly and said coldly, “Since he dares to take my life, I will make him wish he was dead!”
“As for Xie Lian, she secretly got someone to drug me and my friends, causing the three of us to almost fall for it.”
“New and old grudges, how do you think 1 should settle them?”
Jiang Yining’s dark eyes were filled with a murderous aura.
Elder Tao’s heart skipped a beat.
These two bustards had done so many hateful things in private.
They didn’t even mention it to him!
No wonder Lu Zhi and Jiang Yining were so ruthless!
