Jiang Xingyao looked up to Jin Qingyue since she was sixteen. A marriage agreement arranged by their elders made her happily give up her dreams to become Jin Qingyue's wife.
She always be...
Chapter 292 Little Crystal is taken away
Even after the meal was over and Jin Qingyu had taken Jiang Xingyao home, the atmosphere between the two remained silent.
Jin Qingyu seemed lost in thought, and Jiang Xingyao didn't initiate any conversation with him.
She thought this was a perfect opportunity to let Jin Qingyu figure things out for himself, so he wouldn't waste his time on her anymore.
Shen Mingsu's matter doesn't seem to have had much of an impact on Jiang Xingyao, but all sorts of unfounded rumors about the marriage between the Shen and Gu families have been circulating wildly online.
Even though the Shen family is in the entertainment industry, they can't silence everyone all at once.
The reputations of both the Shen and Gu families were greatly affected as a result.
Of course, Jiang Xingyao didn't care much about any of this. It was all trouble caused by Shen Mingsu's willful actions. In a sense, she herself was a victim, so she naturally had no mood to sympathize with the Shen family.
The next morning, Jiang Xingyao went to the studio as usual and saw a lot of people gathered at the entrance. She could also faintly hear noises coming from inside.
"What's going on?" Jiang Xingyao asked one of her employees at random.
"Sister Wei, you've finally arrived! Inside..."
It seems like Sister Shen Ying's family has arrived, they..."
The other party stammered, seemingly unsure where to begin, but simply made way for Jiang Xingyao. Jiang Xingyao glanced over and saw the arrogant and domineering Madam Shen blocking the doorway of Shen Ying's office, hands on her hips, looking every bit like a shrew.
Jiang Xingyao was just hearing her shrill voice shout: "Chen Ying, what kind of attitude is that? What did I say wrong? Asu is your brother. He's being held in the police station. As his older sister, you're so close by. Can't you go and put in a good word for him?"
"Why did you have to wait for us to come all this way? Haven't you embarrassed the Shen family enough already?"
Shen Ying said coldly, "No one knew about this originally, but after your aunt yelled at you like that, it seems like your Shen family has lost even more face."
"My Shen family? Shen Ying, you ungrateful wretch! Aren't you a member of the Shen family? How dare you speak to me like that? Is this how your parents raised you?"
Shen Ying's words struck a nerve with Madam Shen, and Madam Shen's curses became even sharper.
Jiang Xingyao also realized that Madam Shen had come to cause trouble because of Shen Mingsu's matter, but this trouble was caused by her. Jiang Xingyao first gave all the employees who were watching a day off, cleared out the studio, and then walked straight towards Madam Shen.
She said, "Madam Shen, instead of disciplining Sister Shen Ying, shouldn't you be educating your own son?"
Madam Shen turned around and saw Jiang Xingyao. She said disdainfully, "Who do we have here? It's you, you shameless little slut. You dare to come here?"
"What do I have to be afraid of? I do the right thing, I sit upright, and I am upright and honorable."
"Besides, with Madam Shen here, how could I not come? After all, Young Master Shen owed me another ten million yesterday. Madam Shen, please pay up," Jiang Xingyao said.
Madam Shen was trembling with anger: "What money? I haven't even settled the score with you for sending my son to prison yet."
"Since you're here, let's have a serious talk. Yesterday was my son's wedding day, and that little bitch sent him to jail, bringing him all that bad luck. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"
While Madam Shen was throwing a tantrum, Shen Ying remained as steady as a mountain, not even giving Madam Shen a glance. But now, seeing Madam Shen's relentless and unreasonable behavior, Shen Ying was starting to lose her composure.
She slammed her pen on the table and stood up: "Aunt, you should be realistic when you speak. From beginning to end, you've been blaming Yao Yao for sending Shen Mingsu to prison."
Why don't you think about why Yao Yao did this?
He blocked Yao Yao in the dressing room and tried to take her away by force. That constitutes kidnapping, do you know that?
Yao Yao is just a girl, how could she compare to his strength? If she doesn't call the police to save herself, are you just going to let your son take her away?
If you ask me, you should thank Yaoyao, otherwise you probably still wouldn't know where your son is.
"Chen Ying, you're really something. Even now you're still siding with outsiders and lecturing your elder."
Don't you, as the older sister, know what kind of personality Asu has?
If it weren't for this little bitch seducing and bewitching him, how could he have done such an outrageous thing?
"It's one thing if you don't try to save him, but now you're siding with outsiders. I think I really need to teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents today."
Madam Shen took two steps forward and raised her hand to slap Shen Ying's face, but Jiang Xingyao stepped forward and pushed her away: "Madam Shen, if you continue to cause trouble here, don't blame me for sending you to the police station to reunite with your son."
Madam Shen staggered a couple of steps. She seemed to have been brought back to her senses by Jiang Xingyao's words and was no longer in a hurry to fight with Shen Ying. She was still unconvinced and said, "I think you've really gone too far. You even want to send me to the police station. What reason do you have?"
"I didn't do anything. Shen Ying is my niece. I was disciplining my own niece; even if the police came, they couldn't stop me."
Jiang Xingyao said, "Madam Shen has probably forgotten the agreement that President Shen signed before. Yesterday, your son ran away from the wedding and blocked me. Quite a few people saw it. Logically speaking, your Shen family now owes me ten million."
This is no small sum, and I think the police would be happy to resolve it.
What does Madam Shen think?
Madam Shen swallowed hard, this time she was truly uncertain, but she still questioned Shen Ying again: "Are you just going to stand here and watch her make things difficult for your aunt?"
Shen Ying said, "Aunt, this is the last time I will call you that. When I left the Shen family, I made it very clear that I would sever ties with the Shen family."
You may not have known about this before, but I'm telling you clearly now, I have nothing to do with the Shen family anymore. Madam Shen, think twice before you speak and act in the future. If you continue to be rude like today, I can sue you for intentional assault.
Madam Shen looked on in disbelief. She thought Shen Ying must be crazy, not only could she say such a thing, but she also called her Madam Shen.
She wanted to vent a few more words, but Shen Ying said impatiently, "Madam Shen, hurry up and pay back the money the Shen family owes Yao Yao. In the future, you should restrain your son. He made a mistake, and a girl shouldn't have to pay for it."
Madam Shen glared at Shen Ying, realizing that if she continued to make a scene, Shen Ying wouldn't let her get away with it.
She gave Shen Ying one last glare, then turned to leave. Suddenly, Shen Ying called out, "Where's the security guard? Come in and stop her!"
"Chen Ying, what are you doing?" Madam Shen panicked completely this time.
Shen Ying said, "Paying back debts is a matter of course. Madam Shen, you wouldn't be trying to renege on your debt, would you?"
"Chen Ying!"
The security guards have arrived and are blocking the entrance.
Madam Shen gripped her bag tightly, her eyes filled with a murderous intent that seemed to want to devour Shen Ying alive. She said, "Shen Ying, I advise you to let me leave, or I'll tell your parents about this, and you'll be sorry."
Jiang Xingyao also felt that although Shen Ying always said she was severing ties with the Shen family, Yu Shu cared about her so much that she might not necessarily not return to the capital in the future. Now that things had gone so far, it was bound to be difficult to end.
“Sister Yingying, how about we…” Jiang Xingyao whispered a suggestion, but Shen Ying immediately picked up where she left off: “Yaoyao, you don’t need to worry about this.”
Shen Ying seemed to care nothing about blood ties. Madam Shen, being alone, was no match for the security guards Shen Ying had called. No matter how harsh her words were, she was still forced by Shen Ying to sign the check.
Shen Ying said, "Madam Shen, you have experienced the feeling of being powerless and helpless today. Please think carefully before you encounter such things in the future. Don't expect the victims to pay for your son's mistakes every time something happens."
She gave a wink, and the security guards immediately pushed Madam Shen out.
As Madam Shen left, she was still cursing under her breath.
Shen Ying immediately slammed the office door shut, cutting off the discordant sounds from outside.
Jiang Xingyao then said, "Sister Yingying, I've caused you trouble again. I didn't expect..."
She hadn't expected Madam Shen to act like a shrew, blocking Shen Ying's office and yelling at her.
She had thought that, given how far things had escalated, the Shen family would feel ashamed and quietly take Shen Mingsu away.
Shen Ying said, "Why are you still telling me all this? If we really have to talk about it, I should be the one apologizing. It's my family that has caused you so much trouble."
"Sister Yingying, this has nothing to do with you, you..."
"Yes, Shen Mingsu's matter has nothing to do with me because I was unaware of it beforehand. Madam Shen's matter has nothing to do with you either, and you didn't expect her to do this."
"So Yaoyao, stop saying sorry all the time. We don't need that between us," Shen Ying said nonchalantly.
Jiang Xingyao was still a little worried: "But you treated Madam Shen like that today. What if she goes back and causes trouble for your parents?"
Shen Ying said, "That's not something I should be thinking about. After all, I've already told her that I have nothing to do with the Shen family anymore, but she won't listen and insists on making a scene. There's nothing I can do about it."
Seeing that Shen Ying had made up her mind, Jiang Xingyao didn't bring it up again. Then, remembering something, she looked up with some worry and saw that the toy room across the street was empty: "Where's Little Crystal?"
I wonder if Madam Shen's outburst here just now frightened her.
Shen Ying said, "I just asked Wen Wan to take her out. She should be back in a little while."
Jiang Xingyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The employees have all left, and now only Jiang Xingyao and Shen Ying are busy in the huge studio.
It was almost noon, and Wen Wan still hadn't brought Xiao Shuijing back. Shen Ying's face showed a hint of nervousness. Just as she was about to call and ask, Wen Wan called first: "Sister Shen Ying, something bad has happened. We just ran into Madam Shen. Madam Shen insisted on taking the little girl away. She tried to take her from me, but I couldn't stop her. I saw her heading to the airport."
