"She..." The leader coughed twice, then his attitude towards Jiang Wanqing became even worse: "She has nothing to do with this matter. The thief says she ordered it, so she ordered it? Do you have any substantial evidence? I think you're just making trouble out of nothing. You're the one engaging in malicious competition, aren't you? You must be trying to use this as an excuse to cause them heavy losses! Is that right?"

"Oh, I see. I didn't know that."

Jiang Wanqing gave a forced smile, her eyes filled with icy coldness. Sure enough, there's nothing new under the sun, and it's not surprising that the darkest place is under the lamp.

"What are you talking about? Just leave! If you don't leave, you're not leaving at all! Do you know you're being charged with disorderly conduct?"

Emboldened by this momentum, Jiang Xiu, the criminal, no longer looked disheveled at all; instead, she was filled with pride and smugness, even her raised chin conveyed contempt.

She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow: "Jiang Wanqing, don't be so stubborn. You've already succeeded in luring me out. I advise you to quit while you're ahead. Otherwise, even if your Cheng Ran comes, I won't be afraid. You try me if you don't believe me?"

The smile that had been playing in her eyes gradually faded, and she stood up from the chair, preparing to leave.

She hadn't intended to cause any harm to Jiang Xiu today; losing a little money was nothing to this shameless person.

She's purely looking for trouble and seeking revenge.

As Jiang Wanqing passed by Jiang Xiu, she touched her shoulder and left a message.

"There's plenty of time in the future. Keep your fox tail hidden and don't lose too badly. This time, I'll definitely wipe you out completely!"

"I should be the one saying that to you! You..."

After hearing two harsh words, Jiang Xiu was about to utter her own when Jiang Wanqing walked away quickly, which angered her so much that she kicked the table leg.

“If she comes to report this to the police again, you'll know what to do.” Jiang Xiu narrowed her eyes: “I don’t want to see her get away with it!”

"Okay...okay."

After dealing with things here, Jiang Wanqing went back to prepare for the new product. Although she was unable to arrest the person and bring them to justice, such a big news story should make them quiet down for a while.

Taking advantage of this little bit of free time, Jiang Wanqing must create a unique brand!

She recruited all the prepared workers into the factory, and they worked overtime. She even took care of her own basic needs at the factory.

As a result, Cheng Ran stayed alone in the empty room for several days...

When he finally had time to go to the factory to find Jiang Wanqing during his vacation, Hong Xing told him that she was talking to the Ye family and that he would have to wait.

"Brother Cheng, your wife is amazing! She's both scholarly and martial. I've really learned a lot these past few days."

While waiting, Hung Hing chatted with him, and Cheng Ran couldn't help but smile; he already knew this.

Despite her gentle and delicate appearance, Jiang Wanqing is a typical example of someone who is both brave and resourceful.

"Who from the Ye family has come?" he asked.

If it were Jiang Xiu, Hong Xing would definitely call her by her name. If not, then it means it's not her. So, is the arrival of people from the Ye family a good thing or a bad thing?

“She’s Jiang Xiu’s eldest daughter-in-law, uh… no, this woman could be Jiang Xiu’s mother, ugh… what a sin, how could that woman do such a thing to an old man, it’s disgusting.” Hong Xing finished explaining, and then spat out two more curses.

Cheng Ran listened without saying a word, only thinking quietly. Following the information Wang Yun had given him last time, he also researched a lot about the Ye family himself.

It can truly be described as having deep roots and lush foliage. Moreover, if I remember correctly, he also knew someone from the Ye family... but it was just a casual acquaintance.

In the office, Gu Yu, dressed in a cheongsam and with her hair up, sat elegantly on the sofa.

As expected, the Ye family members were different from that shameless Jiang Xiu. She greeted Jiang Wanqing politely and was received with courtesy in return.

What brings you here today?

Not wanting to beat around the bush, Jiang Wanqing asked directly, while observing Gu Yu's expression to deduce whether it was a blessing or a curse.

However, Gu Yu showed no emotion, only took a sip of tea and nodded.

"Comrade Jiang is a man of taste. His taste in tea is very similar to mine. Pre-rain Longjing tea is excellent."

"If you just came to enjoy tea, there was no need to come all this way. Is it because of Jiang Xiu?"

"Needless to say, we have no other connection besides that idiot."

She actually called Jiang Xiu an idiot, so we can probably draw the following conclusion: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Jiang Wanqing subtly raised her eyebrows, lowered her eyes, and smiled.

"I thought you came here to interrogate me. Since you didn't, let's be honest."

"Alright, you seem to be a straightforward person. If you were a member of the Ye family, I wouldn't hold any grudges."

By saying this, she was essentially giving Jiang Wanqing a fairly high evaluation.

"Thank you, but I have a husband."

"Is that so? What a pity."

After saying so much, and the other party still hasn't gotten to the point, anyone would get a little impatient.

Quiet...quiet. After about two minutes of silence, and after finishing a cup of tea, Gu Yu finally spoke again.

"Everything Jiang Xiu owns is based on our Ye family. If you want to fight her, you might as well join forces with me."

Jiang Wanqing was a little confused to find that the woman had come to her door seeking cooperation. She herself had said that the woman was an idiot and that she could have dealt with her with a little effort. Why did she have to come here?

As if she had seen through her thoughts, Gu Yu chuckled twice.

“I’m a respectable person, my hands… must be clean. I want people to be on my side when they talk about this, do you understand?”

Oh~ Jiang Wanqing pursed her lips. So you wanted to have your cake and eat it too, or to put it more bluntly, you wanted to use someone else to do your dirty work.

Perhaps she didn't just want to ruin Jiang Xiu; she also wanted that idiot to disappear forever...

Jiang Wanqing pursed her lips slightly. She needed to think carefully about the risks involved. Otherwise, if she wasn't careful, she might become the executioner, and if the Ye family turned around and bit her, she wouldn't be able to clear her name no matter what.

“I understand. But I don’t need to cooperate with her to fight. We’ll be fighting for much longer than you think. Someone like her will bring about her own destruction sooner or later. I’m still young, and I can wait for that day.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu's expression changed drastically. She adjusted her shawl and looked at her with a sharper gaze.

"You don't need it? What if I force you to need it?"

A blatant threat, skipping all the enticement. Jiang Wanqing silently rolled her eyes.

"Alright, I was too harsh. Let me put it another way. I want complete control of the Ye family. You want Jiang Xiu to bring about her own destruction. But do you know that she's having an affair with my husband? Any one of her connections is enough to make things difficult for you. Without me, you really can't beat her now. At least my husband won't fall."

Jiang Wanqing's lips twitched; she was truly astonished. This woman had married an old man and was still having an affair with a younger one? No wonder she still had face to save even after the old man died; the problem lay right there.

Jiang Wanqing let out a slight breath and said, "Let me think about it."
