Before Madam Chen could even begin to argue, Chen Han interrupted her, realizing that Jiang Mian had no intention of getting involved in the matter at all.
In other words, Kun'er suffered for nothing.
Mo Lan sat on the roof, listening to Jiang Mian's tone, feeling surprised. What was this person thinking?
If you say he wants to uphold justice, Mo Lan absolutely doesn't believe it. Chen Kun's ability to do this is not something that can be achieved overnight. If he wanted to uphold justice, why didn't he do it earlier?
Just then, another shrill cry came from the hall, "Mian'er, what do you mean? It's a fact that Kun'er was beaten. How can you not care? If the people of Ye County find out that you can't even protect your own cousin, won't you become a laughing stock?"
"Madam, you..." Chen Han was so frightened that he immediately covered her mouth with his hand, and then looked at Jiang Mian with an apologetic expression.
"Mian'er, don't worry about it. Your aunt is only doing this because she feels sorry for Kun'er. She's not targeting you."
As Jiang Mian watched the two of them put on an act in front of him, his originally gentle expression gradually turned serious.
“You know my temperament. As long as it’s a matter that’s brought to the government, it will be handled officially, and relatives are no exception. The saying goes, ‘If the people don’t complain, the officials won’t investigate.’ If you cause trouble for yourself, I will pretend I don’t know anything.”
Mo Lan understood from Jiang Mian's tone that he had such thoughts.
Ha~, what a fine example of "the people don't complain and the officials don't investigate." In the entire county, who doesn't know that the Chen family and the Jiang family are related? With such a background, how many ordinary people can afford to offend them?
Such indifference is, in other words, simply letting things take their course.
No wonder the two families are related; one is blatantly arrogant, while the other turns a blind eye. They're definitely sworn brothers.
Just then, Jiang Mian's slightly cold voice rang out again, "I think no one knows better than you what kind of son you raised. If you really can't understand, you two can go out and take a walk in the street, and you'll understand everything. Everything has a cause and effect; you can't always get away with it."
Mo Lan silently looked at everyone in the hall and rubbed her cheek.
Wow, how do you define this kind of person?
Schizophrenia
Madam Chen's face flushed and paled in turns. After making such a fuss for so long, she had no effect whatsoever. She was unwilling to give up, but dared not actually argue with Jiang Mian. She turned to look at the eldest sister sitting at the head of the table, her face full of grievance.
"Big sister, why am I so unlucky..."
Madam Jiang had wanted to speak for a long time, but her husband had kept her quiet. Now, with her sister staring at her, she coughed uncomfortably.
"Mian'er, look..."
But before she could finish speaking, Jiang Mian interrupted her, "Mother doesn't understand these things, so please don't interfere. I've already expressed my opinion. As for what to do, Uncle and Aunt will decide for themselves. After all, this is a matter for the Chen family."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." With that, he got up and left without paying any more attention to the people in the hall.
Madam Jiang's face turned ugly as she looked at her son's merciless manner, but she could only endure it under the glare of her husband.
After the person in charge left, an awkward silence fell over the hall.
Mo Lan sat on the roof, watching the purple figure disappear behind the moon gate. She couldn't help but frown and ponder. This girl doesn't want to get involved in this matter; it's definitely not because she's had a change of heart.
"Boss, I think Jiang Mian is just too lazy to bother with this because he's afraid of trouble." Mu Ling couldn't help but say, sensing his boss's complaint.
