If he weren't her own son, Jiang Yan would have loved to slap him.
"A-Tuo, don't believe everything you hear. Don't let Jiang Zhi sow discord between my son and me, understand?"
Jiang Tuo hesitated, pursing his lips.
After a while, he still mustered up the courage to talk back to his mother.
"Didn't you leak my cousin's whereabouts to the media? I overheard you making a phone call back then."
In an instant, Jiang Yan glared angrily at her son.
"So many years have passed, and you still haven't learned even a fraction of Jiang Zhi's intelligence. Fine, I don't expect you to be particularly capable. I thought that with my wholehearted support, one day you would surpass him. Look at what you're saying, how hurtful it is! Whatever I do, isn't it all for you?"
"..."
“Jiang Tuo, listen to me carefully. That car accident was an accident. If we’re going to investigate who’s responsible, the culprits are those media outlets. Tell Jiang Zhi to go find those media outlets.”
Jiang Tuo's hand was clenched into a fist, trembling slightly.
He wanted to argue, but he suppressed his anger.
These were never what he wanted!
He also knew that if he dared to talk back again, his mother would be furious!
Even though he really wanted to say something, Jiang Tuo hesitated for a moment and then kept quiet.
His opinion seemed so insignificant to his mother.
He's also someone who can't tolerate having opinions, and he always has been.
The path he took was also chosen by his mother!
...
Jiang Zhi was still sitting in the private room.
He was looking at his phone.
Clearly, Jiang Yan was unaware that her parking space had been secretly fitted with a miniature surveillance camera and a loudspeaker.
Jiang Zhi heard every word the mother and son said.
Just as he had discovered, it was indeed Jiang Yan who leaked his whereabouts to the media, leading to their stalking and paparazzi photos, which in turn caused that extremely serious car accident.
Suddenly, Qin Yun said, "Master Zhi, judging from the last confrontation, the young mistress and Jiang Yan are irreconcilable enemies. They shouldn't be on the same side."
Jiang Zhi remained silent, his expression unfathomable, making it difficult to discern his true intentions.
Qin Yun said cautiously, "Perhaps it was a coincidence that the young mistress also appeared in that place back then. Or perhaps Jiang Yan wanted to win over the young mistress, but she refused to go along with her, so Jiang Yan dragged her into it as well. Or perhaps there was a third person."
Jiang Zhi remained silent, his gaze quite sharp.
"We should go too."
Qin Yun said nothing more and followed Jiang Zhi away.

After dinner, Qiao Chu took Luo Luo to see the stone that had been cut the day before.
The outer layer has been polished off, and the imperial green jadeite inside is very pure. Luo Luo went to touch it.
"Although I don't understand this industry, I just think you're really good, really amazing! When I heard those comments online calling you stupid, I almost lost my temper. I wanted to teach them a lesson. In the end, you proved them wrong, that was so satisfying!"
Qiao Chu smiled, "I've appraised it. It's top-grade imperial green jadeite of the glass type. What a steal! I'm going to make a pendant for you and a bracelet for Teacher Luo."
"Chu, you're too kind!"
"Yes, I will! I can't refuse a gift from you!"
"My mom and I thank you first! Three hundred million, bought nothing... Thinking about it, I still think Rong Zhan is hilarious! I bet Rong Zhan and the others are furious."
"That's right, I heard he smashed things in the banquet's break room. He deserved it! You really can't be that immoral; he'll get what's coming to him!"
"You and Ye Sheng were in cahoots?"
"No! This is a tacit understanding! Rong Zhan lost the Qiao Group, and his next target is the Ye Group. Therefore, Ye Sheng will not allow Rong Zhan to be complacent."
