After the meeting, the objective was basically achieved; now it all depends on whether these officials will give us face.

Yang Yajing thought that if the gene scandal really reached the Xia family, then it would be time to make use of the connections she had.

This so-called network of connections was none other than the father-in-law who had fiercely criticized the Jiang family in his previous life.

The gossip Yang Yajing had stirred up had actually caught Guan Yue's attention. After graduating from the university, he left the magazine and, just like in his previous life, worked as an editor for the social affairs section of a well-known newspaper.

His commentaries were sharp and incisive, earning him the boss's favor. In his previous life, he had offended the Jiang family, and the newspaper boss, under pressure, had to temporarily sideline Guan Yue.

However, he did not want to give up such a talented person, and his work contract with Guan Yue was never interrupted, and he continued to pay him his basic salary in order to retain him.

In this life, Guan Yue also wrote news about the Jiang family, just as incisively. However, the Jiang family was now struggling to survive and had no energy to interfere in these matters.

Because Guan Yue's commentary on the hot gossip surrounding the Chiang family was so reasoned, well-founded, and vivid, the newspaper sold exceptionally well.

Now that the gene scandal has broken out, the boss immediately caught wind of the news and sent Guan Yue to investigate and ride the wave of attention.

Because Yang Yajing and Jiang Xuanxuan were classmates in elementary school, and Guan Yue had a good relationship with Yang Yajing, she naturally approached Yang Yajing to discuss this matter.

Yang Yajing would certainly seize this opportunity. Even if Guan Yue didn't come to her, she would give him some subtle hints from time to time.

Yang Yajing told Guan Yue that the Jiang family had always coveted the Xia family. Now that the gene scandal had broken out, regardless of the truth, they might take the opportunity to seduce the Xia family and use the missing daughter as a pretext.

"You're quite familiar with General Manager Xia and Mrs. Xia, aren't you? Do you have any inside information?" Guan Yue asked.

“I reminded Boss Xia, and he said that if the Jiang family keeps bothering the Xia family, then he will do a DNA test.”

What do you think the chances of a match are?

"Guan Yue, do you still remember Jiang Xuanxuan's birthday?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Jiang Xuanxuan was born at the end of February, and the Xia family lost their daughter in mid-January."

"you mean……"

"Yes!" Yang Yajing nodded. "The possibility is almost zero."

"Then why do we need to do a DNA test?" Guan Yue felt that the Xia family could have easily distanced themselves from the matter by saying this, so why go through the extra trouble?

"We have to give them a chance to cause trouble!" Yang Yajing grinned mischievously. "If they're faking it... Boss Xia said we'll take it as criminal fraud."

"You can't leave, can you? This is at most a civil lawsuit, right?" Guan Yue had been writing social news for so long, so he still understood the law.

"Why do you think the Jiang family is trying to curry favor with the Xia family at this critical juncture?" Yang Yajing prompted.

"Could it be..."

"You guessed right! With Xia Laoda as our powerful backer, the investigation into the Jiang family can be downplayed and eventually forgotten! The tainted milk powder incident can't be solved by the Jiang family on their own."

"So the Jiang family knew about the tainted milk powder?"

"What do you think?" Yang Yajing didn't say it explicitly, "Besides, they definitely have a lot of dirty tricks up their sleeves. Right now, with all the attention on them, they probably haven't transferred the dirty money yet. If the attention wanes, then it'll be hard to say."

"So, to get evidence of the Jiang family's scandals and give the innocent victims an explanation, the news about the Jiang family can't be allowed to die down?"

That's roughly the idea.

"I understand!" Guan Yue nodded. "I've never liked Jiang Xuanxuan. It turns out that like mother, like daughter! I have to give her some medicine to cure her snobbishness!"

"Don't be too high-profile, or you'll push the Jiang family too far and they'll suffer the consequences!"

"To reiterate: Have I ever been afraid?"

"Hahaha! You're still as sharp as ever! Good luck!" Yang Yajing said. "If you really run into trouble, remember to let me know, and I'll have Boss Xia back you up!"

"With your words, I'll boldly go ahead and do it!" Guan Yue laughed it off.

Even without Xia Changlong's backing, his righteous and indignant nature wouldn't have deterred him. Yang Yajing's words only gave him more confidence, allowing him to act without worry.

After communicating with Guan Yue, Yang Yajing began to observe and wait.

Jiang Jucai hasn't made any moves for several days. Jiang Xuanxuan has already been discharged from the hospital, and the DNA results are almost ready. His inaction is probably just what Yang Yajing was thinking.

The reason he didn't hold a grudge against Wang Xiuzhen and didn't kick her out of the Jiang family was probably because he had some leverage over her and was starting to plot to use these two women.

The fact that outsiders didn't see any commotion doesn't mean that everything was peaceful inside the Chiang family's residence.

If Jiang Jucai wanted to take advantage of Wang Xiuzhen, he needed to show her his power. Especially considering the humiliation he'd suffered at her hands over the years, if he didn't get his revenge, would he still be a man?

Without saying much, Jiang Jucai was very cold when Wang Xiuzhen took Jiang Xuanxuan home from the hospital.

After waiting for two days and seeing that Jiang Xuanxuan was alright, and when the news of the genetic scandal finally spread throughout the streets and alleys, Jiang Jucai threw the DNA comparison report in front of Wang Xiuzhen.

"Don't you want to explain, my dear wife?" Jiang Jucai said with a forced smile. "When I was pursuing you back then, you were lukewarm at first, but suddenly you agreed to marry me. Are you just going to make me a sucker? Who is that man?"

"So many years, I don't remember! It was probably some ex-boyfriend, we broke up before I got married." Wang Xiuzhen continued to boast, "I was heartbroken at the time, and then you pursued me, I didn't even know I was already in a relationship. All these years, I always thought Jiang Xuanxuan was yours."

"Think? Humph!" Jiang Jucai didn't believe it; he wasn't so easily fooled.

He's been thinking about what happened back then for the past few days and has pretty much figured out the gist of it.
