She can't even imagine what the future holds.
Now that Minghui has fallen out with the Shen family, he will definitely not be able to accept the truth about the Xu Group project. At that time, won't his relationship with his mother and son be severed?
And what if he can't pay back the money he owes? Won't that implicate the Jiang family?
I don't want to have to go back to those hard times when I was almost a hundred years old.
Since getting married, all her savings have been swindled away by that bastard Xu Yaowei.
She now pays for all of the Xu family's daily expenses. If she refuses, Xu Yaowei will beat her severely. Over time, she has almost no assets left in her name.
No! She absolutely cannot go back to those poor, miserable days!
Jiang's mother's eyes sharpened, and she suddenly grabbed Jiang Minghui's hand, saying earnestly once again, "Son, listen to your mother this time, okay? I won't hurt you. Now is really not the time for you to break ties with the Shen family. Just listen to your mother and talk to Qingwan properly. You've been husband and wife for so many years, she will definitely forgive you."
Jiang Minghui was getting annoyed by her, especially since Lü Xiaowei was still there. He always cared a lot about his image, and now his mother was still telling him to apologize to Shen Qingwan in front of his woman, which made him lose face.
"Mom! How many times do I have to tell you? I will not apologize to that stupid woman Shen Qingwan! I've wanted to divorce her for a long time so I can reunite with Xiaowei's family. Now I might as well take this opportunity to kick her out!"
"son..."
Before Jiang's mother could say anything, Jiang Minghui forcefully flung her wrist away. With that movement, Jiang's mother fell onto the sofa, revealing a bruised mark on her wrist.
Jiang Minghui was clearly startled when he saw the injury on her hand, then quickly looked away and pretended not to have seen anything.
He narrowed his eyes, his pupils darting around rapidly.
How come Mom has a wound on her hand?
Could it be Xu Yaowei?
He had indeed heard Shen Qingwan mention that Xu Yaowei had a history of domestic violence against his ex-wife. Could it be that he hit her again after marrying his mother?
Can...
Now I still have to rely on the Xu family's project...
If he offends Xu Yaowei by standing up for Jiang's mother, it would be a loss for him. Presumably, her injuries are just superficial and nothing serious; she can just bear with them.
Anyway, it was her own choice, and besides, given Jiang's mother's personality, if she really couldn't hold back her anger, she would have already made a scene everywhere.
But... if I don't take care of him, wouldn't it make him seem very unfilial?
This doesn't fit his public image... but he doesn't want to offend Xu Yaowei because of this, since he's still counting on Xu's projects.
Fine, he pretended not to see it; after all, it was a matter between him and his wife.
After brainwashing himself, Jiang Minghui felt at ease deciding to pretend he knew nothing about the matter.
"Mom, don't worry about this. I know what I'm doing. It's getting late, I'll have my assistant take you home." He didn't give Jiang's mother a chance to refuse and immediately had his assistant take her out.
After Jiang's mother left, Jiang Minghui irritably loosened his tie.
Seeing this, Lü Xiaowei walked behind him with an understanding look and considerately massaged his shoulders.
"Minghui, don't be angry. Your mother-in-law is old and timid, so don't hold it against her."
"Hmm... I can't be bothered to argue with him. The most important thing right now is to control the public opinion online."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Minghui called his secretary.
"Immediately send someone to keep an eye on the online trends, and take immediate action if any negative comments appear."
"Yes, Mr. Jiang."
The methods Jiang Minghui described were undoubtedly coercion and enticement.
When people on the internet raised questions about what happened back then, Jiang Minghui first had his men use professional technical means to dig up all the information of the parties involved. Then he ordered his men to bombard the parties with phone calls and text messages, threatening them. If the other party was soft, he would bribe them; if they were tough, he would threaten their lives.
After this series of actions, as soon as someone in the know spoke out about the matter, they were coerced and lured by Jiang Minghui into deleting their comments.
Therefore, for a long period of time, public opinion on the internet was favorable to Jiang and Jiang Minghui.
Even Jiang's subsidiary, Xinxing Video, saw a significant increase in downloads and memberships due to the buzz surrounding this incident, a result that Jiang Minghui found very satisfying.
"Right now, we must control online public opinion. Anything that is even slightly detrimental to us must be eliminated immediately!"
"Yes...President Jiang, I've had someone keeping an eye on things."
"President Jiang, President Zhang is coming to the company this afternoon to sign a contract."
"Hmm." Jiang Minghui stood in front of the mirror, his face radiant, his eyes brimming with barely suppressed joy.
In recent days, the Jiang family's reputation has been improving day by day, and several companies have expressed their willingness to cooperate with the Jiang family in the long term.
It seems that he made the right move. Now that the Jiang family is doing better and better, he will soon be able to hold his head high and confront the Shen family.
From now on, when people mention him, they will only think of his affectionate, responsible, and upright character, not his role as the Shen family's son-in-law.
After all these years, he can finally get rid of this shameful identity.
Hmph! All these years, that stupid woman Shen Qingwan has really benefited. This time, in the divorce, she must leave with nothing.
He had already planned it out; if that stupid woman refused, he would continue to incite public opinion online.
If she doesn't want to keep being scolded, she'd better leave with nothing as soon as possible!
Jiang Xinrou was overjoyed when she learned of this. Ever since the celebration banquet for "Legend of the Wolf" was canceled again, she had been feeling quite down.
She has stayed at home for many days without going out because she is afraid of being looked down upon or ridiculed by others, so she simply chooses not to go out.
Anyway, she hasn't had any announcements since that incident.
All of this is thanks to that bitch Jiang Xue, who ruined all of her gigs for the year.
And after her last variety show mishap, no variety show is willing to invite her anymore.
She had been depressed for so many days, but she never expected that her father would have such great news.
Not only that, but her status as an illegitimate child, which she had always been ashamed to admit, is no longer a big deal.
She had always been worried that if her identity as an illegitimate child were exposed, she would be condemned by thousands of people. She was even more worried that people would know that Lu Xiaowei, the well-known mistress, was her biological mother. She dared not reveal even a little bit about her background.
Now, Mom and Dad are seen by everyone as a loving and unwavering couple, the most beautiful example of love.
On the contrary, it's so satisfying to see Shen Qingwan's family get so badly criticized!
And because of the popularity of this event, the Jiang family's previous difficulties were all resolved.
If she were to come forward and acknowledge her identity now, would people be more sympathetic towards her?
