In her previous life, Jiang Haitang was an absolute fool. After becoming a widow at barely 16, she never remarried, serving as a blood bag for her in-laws, raising her brother-in-law, taking care o...
Chapter 314 Harming Others Backfires on Yourself
When they arrived at the Jiang family's small building, Aunt Zhang opened the door, but did not smile when she saw that it was the Wang family.
But since the other party had come and Old Jiang asked her to let him in, she invited him in without being very respectful.
Mr. Wang has been arrogant all his life, so how could he have ever been looked down upon like this?
But the situation was no match for the person, and he was still the one at fault, so he gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and kept a very low profile.
Wang Zhiyong looked at this scene and felt angry. Their Wang family was not as good as before, but it was not something a servant could look down upon.
Yes, in Wang Zhiyong’s mind, the staff around him are just servants.
When they met Mr. Jiang and Jiang Haitang, Mr. Wang spoke first.
He adopted a very humble attitude from the moment he entered the door. He first sighed deeply and clasped his fists towards Mr. Jiang.
"Mr. Jiang, it's my fault for not bringing up my child properly. This shameful thing has come out of me. I'm ashamed of myself! Today, I brought her here to apologize to you, especially to Comrade Haitang!"
Wang Xuemei immediately bowed and made an insincere apology, but her eyes kept glancing at Jiang Haitang.
This woman really has the capital to seduce people. She is so beautiful. Isn't she a country girl? Why is she different from the country girls she has seen?
Who is Mr. Jiang? How could he not notice her little movements and wandering eyes?
Of course, not only Mr. Jiang, but also Jiang Haitang, were people with delicate minds, and naturally felt the malice in Wang Xuemei's eyes.
This person is probably not here to apologize to me, but has other intentions, right?
She wanted to see what this woman wanted to do next.
This was the last chance the two families had agreed to give the Wang family. If Wang Xuemei remained stubborn, the Wang family might...
While I was thinking about it, I saw Wang Xuemei handing me an exquisite box.
"This is a handkerchief I got by accident. It is the work of a Suzhou embroidery master. I give it to my sister as an apology." Wang Xuemei looked at Jiang Haitang while speaking.
Seeing that Jiang Haitang looked normal and didn't seem angry, she felt relieved.
"It's all my fault for talking nonsense. People misunderstood me, but please believe me, sister. I just said it casually and didn't mean any harm. Who knew it would be spread so badly?"
At first glance, Wang Xuemei sounded like she was apologizing, but when she listened carefully, there wasn't much of a sincere apology. Instead, every word she said was an attempt to exonerate herself, and she was even suggesting that there were doubts about Jiang Haitang's background.
Jiang Haitang looked at the brocade box handed to her by Wang Xuemei, but did not reach out to take it. She had a faint, distant smile on her face.
Did this woman think she was a fool who knew nothing? She still understood what those words meant.
Jiang Haitang could almost conclude that Wang Xuemei definitely had bad intentions.
Wang Xuemei felt a little uneasy when Jiang Haitang looked at her. She always felt that Jiang Haitang could see through the dirty thoughts in her heart.
But her expression seems normal. She shouldn't have noticed anything, right?
Even her father and grandfather didn't know about her plan, so how could Jiang Haitang see it?
"Sister, can you forgive me this time? I promise I will never say anything against you in the future." Wang Xuemei continued.
"Comrade Wang, you are too polite. I am the only child of my parents. I don't like to be called sisters by other people." Jiang Haitang spoke in a calm tone, but her words were all a refusal to show goodwill.
Old Master Jiang had a serious face and didn't say a word, just waiting to see how his granddaughter would deal with it.
"Comrade Wang, since it was an unintentional mistake, there's no need for an apology. Please take your things back."
Jiang Haitang's words were flawless. Since the other party denied that it was intentional, there was no need to apologize, and as for gifts, they were even more unnecessary.
Since they have refused, it means they have not accepted the apology. The relationship between the two families will remain the same as it was before.
Both Mr. Wang and Wang Zhiyong understood what Jiang Haitang meant. They didn't feel any resentment towards Jiang Haitang, but could only glare at their good-for-nothing fiercely.
Wang Xuemei didn't expect Jiang Haitang to refuse so directly. Her outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and the fake sincerity on her face was almost gone.
But in her heart, she was resentful that Jiang Haitang was indeed a country girl who didn't even understand the ways of the world. Did she know that no matter what, she still had to consider the people in the compound.
"This... this is a small token of my appreciation. It's not worth much, but I just think this handkerchief suits you... Comrade Jiang, your temperament."
After realizing that Jiang Haitang might not accept the gift, her mind raced and she decided to take a risk. She quickly opened the box and took out the handkerchief inside, as if she wanted to show it directly to Jiang Haitang, with a barely perceptible eagerness in her movements.
Jiang Haitang roughly guessed that there was medicine in the handkerchief, but she didn't know what kind of medicine it was.
She thought in her mind and pretended to move, trying to trip Wang Xuemei with her foot the moment the handkerchief was taken out.
Then, when Wang Xuemei lost her balance, the whole handkerchief flew onto her face...
Wang Xuemei was shocked. How could this happen? She originally wanted to pretend that she had made a mistake and wipe the handkerchief across Jiang Haitang's face.
But now, it's all on my face...
Wang Xuemei had no time to care about anything else. She knew very well how powerful this medicinal powder was.
She immediately ran outside in panic.
At this moment, Mr. Jiang, who was sitting in the main seat, slammed his teacup heavily on the tea table, making a dull "dong" sound.
"Stop her!"
Everyone was startled and looked at Wang Xuemei who was struggling to leave after being stopped.
Especially the father and son of the Wang family, they couldn’t even figure out why Wang Xuemei suddenly went crazy.
Old Master Jiang's face was as gloomy as water. His sharp eyes swept over Wang Xuemei and the box and handkerchief that had been thrown on the ground, and finally his gaze fell on Old Master Wang.
"Let the doctor come and take a look at what that dirty stuff is." Old Master Jiang said in a cold voice.
When the Wang family father and son heard this, they were still wondering if they had heard it wrong.
What did Mr. Jiang mean by this? They brought good things, so how could they be considered dirty?
Old Master Wang understood quickly, his old face was embarrassed, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Old Wang, if you came here today to sincerely apologize, our Jiang family is not one to be unreasonable. But it seems that you have big plans. I, Jiang Guozhu, only have one granddaughter, so how could you have caught your attention?"
Old Master Wang's face was burning with anger and he wanted to say something in rebuttal, but it was obvious that his granddaughter had done something wrong.
He could only take a deep breath, glare at his disappointing granddaughter, and yell at Wang Zhiyong, "What are you still standing there for? Put your things away! You're such a disgrace!"
The most important thing now is to destroy the body. If Jiang Guozhu really gets the real evidence, the Wang family will suffer.
Wang Zhiyong's face flushed with embarrassment, and he quickly stepped forward to clean up the things. However, how could the Jiang family let him succeed? The Jiujiang people immediately stopped him.
"How dare you?" Old Master Wang immediately scolded the people from the Jiang family.
"Mr. Wang, it is our duty to ensure the safety of Chief Jiang!" Xiao Hu said very firmly.
Wang Xuemei was still screaming heartbreakingly, saying that if she went to the hospital earlier, perhaps her face could be saved. If she delayed too long, she would really be disfigured.
How could Jiang Haitang, this bitch, be so vicious?
She just watched like that?
She stared at Jiang Haitang viciously, her eyes almost spitting fire.
Jiang Haitang saw her reaction clearly and sneered in his heart.
Harming others will eventually harm yourself. Although I don’t know what’s going on here, it’s definitely not something good. Let Wang Xuemei suffer the consequences.
The doctor came quickly and after an examination, he confirmed that the handkerchief was drugged.
When Mr. Wang heard what the doctor said, he felt his whole body go limp and he almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Wang Zhiyong who was standing by supported him.
Old Master Jiang didn't bother to look at the Wang family again and made arrangements directly: "Xiao Hu, make a phone call. Someone is trying to drug me. Let the Security Department handle it."
Mr. Jiang didn't even say another word to Mr. Wang. He turned around and left with Jiang Haitang.
Old Master Wang's face turned pale and blue, but he could only bite the bullet and stand up.
"Old Jiang, it's my Wang family's fault. I will definitely discipline them strictly from now on! Goodbye!"
After saying this, he almost staggered away from the Jiang family with his son, without even glancing at Wang Xuemei.
Wang Zhiyong looked at his daughter and whispered, "Dad, Xuemei..."
"From now on, just pretend you never gave birth to this daughter. My Wang family can't afford a child like this!"
Old Mr. Wang didn't expect that Wang Xuemei had become so bad.
It would be fine if she was just bad and not stupid, but unfortunately, she is both stupid and bad.
The last bit of hope for his granddaughter was completely shattered. Grandpa Wang knew that the Wang family was completely finished.
When Wang Xuemei was taken away by the security department, the poisonous hatred in her eyes almost turned into reality.
Her plan had failed, and she had been harmed, but Jiang Haitang was still fine. How could this happen? How could this happen?
Jiang Haitang! Jiang Haitang! It's all because of this woman!
She won't let this go! Absolutely not!
Since disfigurement doesn't work, then let her die! As long as she dies, everything will return to normal!
The Jiang family's grandfather and grandson returned upstairs, and Old Man Jiang said, "Haitang, it's all Grandpa's fault. You almost got hurt."
"Grandpa, I'm fine. You've tried your best to protect me."
"I was originally thinking of retiring this year and just taking care of you and my two great-grandchildren. But now it seems I can't retire. I have to protect you for a few more years."
My granddaughter is indeed capable, but she has little experience and is easily taken advantage of.
Jiang Haitang said, "Grandpa, I'm fine. I can handle it myself. If your body can't hold on, just step down. Liangchen and I will honor you."
"Speaking of which, this brat is always running back and forth every day, so why hasn't he been seen this year?"
"He is going back to the northwest soon. He went to the department to report on his work today!" Jiang Haitang was afraid that her grandfather would have bad thoughts about Lu Liangchen, so she hurried to explain for him.
The people of the Lu family here have heard the news, and Mr. Lu came over with guards and doctors.
Only after confirming that his granddaughter-in-law and two great-grandsons were doing well did Mr. Lu feel much more at ease.
But the doctor still gave Jiang Haitang and both children a diagnosis.
