Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Heartache

After making such a bold statement, Wen Yao realized she had lost her composure. She had written too many stories about wealthy families and had involuntarily used billions as a unit of measurement. She looked at Jiang Yue and asked worriedly, "Isn't that too much?"

Jiang Yue, who had been silent and depressed from beginning to end, suddenly laughed and replied, "Not bad."

Wen Yao was relieved and continued to boast, "Yes, it's 100 million! Just wait, this matter is not over yet. After the facts are investigated, if my husband really did something to Guan Xiaoya, we will not only plead guilty and accept punishment, but also donate 100 million. If not, let her take the lawsuit!"

The reporters had never seen such a public relations statement, and neither had Jiang Shaoming and Huang Qianyi. Their faces turned pale with fear, and they quickly signaled Wen Yao to shut up. Lawyer Xiao Liu also quickly came to her side and pulled her and Jiang Yue into the car.

When they got in the car, Jiang Shaoming couldn't help but get angry: "What's wrong with each of you? You can't have peace unless you turn the world upside down?"

He was talking about both Huang Qianyi and Wen Yao.

Huang Qianyi has always looked down on Jiang Shaoming. Now that they are divorced, it is not his turn to say anything. However, it was indeed her impulsiveness and inappropriate behavior just now, so she remained silent and did not defend herself.

But Wen Yao, the daughter-in-law who should have remained silent, spoke unwillingly: "If you don't say anything, doesn't that mean you agree to this?"

"What do you know? One hundred million, you just open your mouth and ask for it. Do you think the Public Security Bureau can let you do whatever you want? In this case, no matter how many connections you have, it's useless. When the verdict comes, can you bear the responsibility yourself?"

Jiang Shaoming scolded her harshly, and Wen Yao was a little overwhelmed, but she still pouted her chin and prepared to continue to argue. Jiang Yue held her arm and said slowly, "I will take responsibility for her words and promises today. You don't have to worry about it. The police will soon issue an announcement on the whole process of this matter. Just wait for the conclusion."

Jiang Yue had never respected Jiang Shaoming much before. The father and son were neither as close as other fathers and sons, nor as respectful as superiors and subordinates. One was a superior with mediocre abilities and personality, while the other was a future successor who was vigorous and efficient. They were more like colleagues of the same level, showing due courtesy to each other and not overstepping the boundaries.

Today, Jiang Yue made a big mistake. Jiang Shaoming was angry and anxious, and couldn't help but show his rare strict father attitude. However, although Jiang Yue's tone seemed gentle, his attitude was tough and he did not accept his reprimand.

With his attitude, Jiang Shaoming couldn't help but wonder if he was being wronged.

But even if he was wronged, it was nothing more than that he did not handle his relationship with women well. If he had any brains, he would not have done such things. Jiang Shaoming did not continue to talk to him, but he was still angry and helpless.

Jiang Shaoming stopped talking, but Huang Qianyi wasn't ready to let him go. She said quickly, "Don't act like you're so wronged. Keep yourself clean. Do you think I'll have a chance? What? You can't live without a woman? It's true that when the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked!"

"Huang Qianyi! If you have any anger, take it out on your son. Don't involve me. I have nothing to do with you right now!" Jiang Shaoming shouted angrily in the front row.

Huang Qianyi sneered, "Of course it has nothing to do with me. Seeing you makes me sick! If I had known that your Jiang family had this tradition of being unable to control sexual desire, I would never have married you!"

"Stop the car." Jiang Yue said.

The driver had been so frightened by the quarrel that he dared not even breathe. He pretended that the other party did not exist and drove calmly. Now when he heard the word "stop", he immediately pulled over and stopped the car on the side of the road reflexively. Jiang Yue opened the car door, pulled Wen Yao out with him, and then slammed the door shut.

"Jiang Yue!" Huang Qianyi shouted in the car. Jiang Yue raised his hand to hail a taxi, took Wen Yao in the taxi and left without looking back.

Wen Yao took the initiative to hold his hand and said softly: "It will be fine, don't think too much."

Jiang Yue didn't reply. Wen Yao was also afraid that the driver would recognize them, so she didn't say anything more.

When they got home, Wen Yao asked him, "Would you like to eat something first?"

Jiang Yue shook his head and said tiredly: "I'm tired and want to sleep for a while."

"Okay, then I'll accompany you!" Wen Yao said immediately.

Jiang Yue said nothing and walked to the third floor. Wen Yao followed him to the door and explained, "Don't worry, I won't disturb you. You go to sleep and I'll play by myself next to you."

She was indeed worried about him. He had refused to say a word about this matter from beginning to end. Negative news was overwhelming on the Internet, and no one knew what the future would be like. Everything was related to her. Wen Yao felt that she could only care about him to atone for her sins.

Perhaps because he felt dirty, Jiang Yue didn't go to bed and lay down directly on the sofa. It was obvious that he hadn't slept a moment the night before. After a while, his breathing became slow and even, and he fell asleep.

Wen Yao sat on the sofa with her head propped up, feeling that he looked so pitiful.

Because of her writing needs, she often looked up some little-known facts, such as the process of police interrogating suspects. She knew that the most commonly used interrogation method was fatigue.

In a dark and dreary interrogation room, with a bright light on, experienced police officers take turns questioning you, using both soft and hard tactics to ensure that you are not allowed to sleep or relax. Within a few hours, you will become depressed, anxious, and irritable, losing your patience and ability to think, and telling the truth.

One is a business celebrity, the other is a well-known female star, and this is such a serious case of sexual assault. The police will definitely not be careless. They will turn all the details upside down and come to the most impeccable conclusion.

In addition, Jiang Yueben is a rich second-generation, and there is Wang Shanshan's scandal in the past. It is inevitable that the police will not have a good impression of him. At most, they will think that the two of them had a falling out because they failed to agree on the price.

Jiang Yue must have been tormented all night, and he could guess from all the dynamics outside how desperate and exhausted he must be physically and mentally at this moment. She could almost empathize with him.

Sitting there feeling bored, she couldn't help but browse the news online.

The murder case in the hotel had a roughly credible outline. It seemed that a cosplayer was gay and had made an appointment with another boy to stay in the hotel. The two played a rather bold game, such as the suffocation game, which resulted in a fatality. The cosplayer's boyfriend died on the spot.

The coser surrendered himself on the spot. This incident was not related to the hotel, but the negative impact was huge.

The Yueer Qinghe series is a new series of hotels launched by the Yueer Group. This incident happened before it became famous. It gives people the impression that this hotel is very chaotic, involving homosexuality and pornography, which is completely inconsistent with the hotel's positioning as a high-end, literary and youthful theme hotel. Therefore, the hotel's promotion and opening were a failure.

Jiang Yue's defendant status further deepened the hotel's negative image, causing a sharp drop in the stock prices of Yueer Group and other Jiang family businesses.

Wen Yao had no idea what to do in the current situation. Perhaps, everything would develop according to the original plot. Mr. Jiang would hand over the Qinghe series project to Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin would naturally turn the tide after taking over, and Jiang Yue would naturally become his control group. Naturally, Jiang Lin would do better and better, and finally Mr. Jiang would decide to change his heir.

Would everything have been different if she hadn't left last night?

There has been no news from the damn person who sent her the message so far. If his purpose was to harm Jiang Yue, then he has finally succeeded. He must be laughing secretly behind her back.

But who is this person?

Just as she was deep in thought, there was a soft knock on the door. She was afraid of disturbing Jiang Yue, so she quickly got up and opened the door.

It was Mrs. Chen, who told her that the lady was coming.

The lady she was talking about was Huang Qianyi. As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Yao heard the rapid "thump thump" sound of high heels downstairs. It was obvious that Huang Qianyi was about to come upstairs.

Wen Yao immediately closed the door and went downstairs to block Huang Qianqian, stopping her on the stairs on the second floor.

"mom."

Huang Qianyi only glanced at her, not wanting to say anything more. She turned around and was about to go around to find Jiang Yue. Wen Yao also said firmly, "He's asleep. You can wait for him to wake up, or tell me first if you have anything."

"You?" Huang Qianyi sneered and said contemptuously, "Why, can you make the company's stock price rise? Or can you keep the hotel's image intact? Or, do you have the ability to keep him in his current position?"

"I can't," Wen Yao answered frankly. Without waiting for her to speak, she continued, "But is this what you care about most? Stocks, image, position? Your son was falsely accused of sexual assault, detained at the police station for interrogation all night, and called a scumbag and a perpetrator online. Don't you care if he's sad? If he's eaten? If he's gotten enough sleep? Is he your son, or just a subordinate who works for you?"

Huang Qianyi was stunned by her question. She hadn't really thought about these issues because, in her opinion, they weren't a problem. Her son had always been strong and excellent, and such a small matter wouldn't affect him at all. What she couldn't understand even more was his carelessness and stupidity. How could such a smart man do such a thing? She was angry and confused.

Now, after suddenly hearing this, she realized that she really had not cared about Jiang Yue, but this was just a small matter. The most important thing was that it was not her turn to be blamed and taught a lesson by Wen Yao.

Huang Qianyi looked at her coldly for a moment, suppressing her anger and saying disdainfully, "What do your parents do? Did they teach you to respect elders? What was your attitude and tone when you spoke to me just now?"

Wen Yao's background was indeed very ordinary, so she had not seen much when she grew up. It was easy for her to be timid when she met a rich lady like Huang Qianyi, but now she was angry for Jiang Yue. When people are angry, they have supreme courage and dare to confront anything. What's more, Huang Qianyi looked down on her and her parents, which made her even more angry.

She learned a bit of Jiang Yue's arrogant attitude, raised her chin high, sneered and said slowly: "The reason why I am talking to you here is because you are Jiang Yue's mother, but now, since the mother is not acting like a mother, why should I act like a daughter-in-law? What is my attitude? I am just standing up for Jiang Yue. If you, as a mother, care about him a little more, he won't push himself so hard.

"You keep talking about the company and Jiang Yue's position. Let me ask you, if Jiang Yue fails in this position and displeases the Jiang family, and he loses his position as heir, what will you do? Would you be extremely disappointed in him and feel that he is not worthy of being your son and is not worthy of being alive?"

The reason why Wen Yao said this was because she thought of Jiang Yue's fate in the plot.

Jiang Yue eventually lost everything and committed suicide. She didn't write about Huang Qianyi's reaction, and she didn't even consider whether Huang Qianyi would cry or regret.

What a miserable death he had. No one lingered on him. Lu Wan saw him as nothing more than an annoying lunatic; Jiang Lin saw him as an enemy, a competitor; Jiang Shaoming paid no attention to him, as their father-son relationship was already fading, and his relationship with Jiang Lin was growing increasingly harmonious. And what about his grandfather, who once held him in high regard? Just because Jiang Yue made a few mistakes, he began to grow close to him, easily transferring all his affection to his previously disliked illegitimate son. He grew increasingly resentful of Jiang Yue, constantly warning him not to touch Jiang Lin and using him as an example...

Everyone can look up to the halo of the male protagonist Jiang Lin, but Huang Qianyi can't. She is Jiang Yue's biological mother. How can she not care about him at all?

Huang Qianyi was stunned by her question. This woman actually said to her that she "doesn't deserve to live".

How could such words be applied to her son?

"Wen Yao, who allowed you to speak like that about Jiang Yue? Why didn't he do well? How did he lose his position as heir? He is the only grandson of the Jiang family. If the heir is not given to him, will it be given to that illegitimate child?" Huang Qianyi said angrily.
