Her malicious words were accompanied by a water bottle being thrown at Lin Qingtong.
Just as Lin Qingtong was about to dodge, a hand pulled her into an embrace.
A faint scent of cedar wafted over, and Lin Qingtong suddenly looked up to meet its gaze, her eyes curving slightly.
What brings you here?
Shen Tinghe slowly and deliberately held Lin Qingtong in his arms, then turned his head to look in Jiang Nuan's direction.
"Tongtong is my woman, not some jinx. I won't allow anyone to say such things."
Someone nearby exclaimed, "My God, isn't that Master Shen? He actually showed up here!"
"Could it be that Wutong Manor really belongs to Lin Qingtong?"
These words reached Shen Tinghe's ears. His sharp, cold gaze swept around, and he spoke solemnly.
"You don't need to make wild guesses anymore. Wutong Manor was built specifically for Tongtong, and all the inspiration came from her."
"The Wutong Manor is now under Tongtong's name, including an art gallery and a museum."
Everyone around was stunned. They could understand each word individually, but when put together, they couldn't quite make sense of it.
What do you mean by "it's all hers"?
It is well known that Wutong Manor is most famous for its vast area and its unique art gallery and museum, many of which are not found in the country.
Many people's artistic enlightenment comes from here, and according to the valuation, it is probably worth more than 10 billion.
So Shen Tinghe just gave it to Lin Qingtong like that?
Despite the doubts of those around him, Shen Tinghe personally proved it, leaving them no choice but to believe him.
But Jiang Nuan still refused to believe it, and even though she was being supported, she continued to jump up and down and shout.
"You guys are really good at acting. How could you possibly give them all to her? You're just saying it, aren't you?"
"Besides, why would Master Shen Jiu possibly take a liking to a woman like you who has been married before and can't have children?"
Her words were vicious and cold, and they stung the hearts of those who heard them.
Lin Qingtong stood there calmly, looking at Jiang Nuan with a smile on her lips.
"Don't think that I'll get angry just because you said that. On the contrary, I'll only think you're pathetic, being married off to your own brother for a business arrangement and then ignored for years."
"I can only come back every year to beg for money to supplement my family's income, but my children don't understand me at all and beat me instead."
Jiang Nuan retorted with a livid face after hearing her words.
"Don't talk nonsense here. I'm doing very well, unlike you who can't even have a child. You're a hen that can't lay eggs."
Lin Qingtong simply replied, "I don't mind telling you the truth: the one who is truly infertile is not me, but Jiang Hao."
"If you don't believe me, you can take him to the hospital for a checkup."
Jiang Nuan didn't quite believe Lin Qingtong's words, but she felt that Lin Qingtong's attitude had always been strange.
If Lin Qingtong really couldn't have children, she would probably rather die than divorce Jiang Hao.
Instead of being as self-righteous as they are now.
Jiang Nuan fell silent for a long time before finally speaking through gritted teeth.
"I don't believe you. I'll definitely go back and verify it."
Lin Qingtong casually shrugged, "You can check the hospital records. It's the First Hospital, but don't go to the wrong one."
Jiang Nuan hurriedly left, wanting to verify Lin Qingtong's words.
But after he got his medical records verified at the hospital, he rushed to the Jiang family villa only to find the entrance in complete disarray.
Holding a piece of paper in his hand, he knocked directly on the villa door, only to find Qi Huimin standing there.
Qi Huimin looked Jiang Nuan up and down, then covered her mouth and nose and spoke with some disgust.
Who are you looking for?
Jiang Nuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qi Huimin for a while before remembering that Jiang Hao had sent her photos before, so she hurriedly spoke up.
"I am Jiang Hao's aunt. Where is he?"
Qi Huimin had heard of Jiang Nuan's reputation. She had married far away, and her husband's family went bankrupt. Every year, Jiang Nuan would come to their door to beg for money.
It didn't matter before the Jiang family was rich, but now they are in dire straits and there's no way they'll let Jiang Nuan take advantage of them.
Qi Huimin's expression turned very unpleasant.
“You are not welcome in our Jiang family. Please leave immediately.”
Jiang Nuan ignored her completely. Qi Huimin pushed her aside and looked into the villa. She saw that it was no longer as bright and beautiful as before, and looked rather messy.
There was no one else in the villa at all.
She was a bit impatient, so she took the medical records and read them to Qi Huimin.
"Call Hao'er back quickly, I found out about his previous medical examination."
"The one who can't have children isn't Lin Qingtong, but him."
Upon hearing this, Qi Huimin froze on the spot, her eyes turning cold.
Do you have any evidence for what you're saying?
Jiang Nuan couldn't wait to show Qi Huimin the medical records and spoke anxiously.
"This is the evidence! Call him back right now!!"
Qi Huimin's eyes lit up, and she immediately greeted him with a bright smile.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll call Hao-ge back right away. You should go to your room and rest for a bit."
Jiang Nuan was in a state of great turmoil and didn't think much of it before following Qi Huimin into the room to rest.
But as soon as Jiang Nuan stepped into the room, Cao Kui drugged her and knocked her unconscious.
After drugging Jiang Nuan, Cao Kui asked Qi Huimin, "Why did you bring her to the room? What if someone finds out?"
A hint of madness flashed in Qi Huimin's eyes.
"She has obtained evidence that Jiang Hao is infertile. If Jiang Hao finds out the child isn't his, do you think we'll have a good ending?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Kui immediately felt that Qi Huimin was right.
Finally, he and Qi Huimin locked it in an empty room in the basement.
Afterwards, Jiang Nuan was trapped in the basement, crying out to heaven and earth in vain.
Cao Kui would deliver meals to her twice a day, while also boasting to her about what he had done over the years.
He seemed quite certain that Jiang Nuan couldn't escape, so he simply told him everything he had done.
It's understandable that he was so at ease, since Jiang Nuan's hands and feet were bound with heavy iron chains.
Lin Qingtong returned to the backyard with Shen Tinghe, and she told Shen Tinghe about what had happened that day.
Do you think I did the right thing?
In fact, Lin Qingtong felt somewhat guilty. Regardless of whether Madam Jiang was innocent, his two companions were completely implicated.
Unbeknownst to her, Lin Qingtong had come to trust Shen Tinghe completely and even confided many things to him.
Shen Tinghe casually clasped his hands together and spoke with a casual yet noble air.
“You did nothing wrong, and those two aren’t innocent either. They acted arrogantly because their husbands were having affairs. Instead of exposing them, they helped him deal with those mistresses, and their hands are stained with blood.”
Shen Tinghe didn't explain clearly, but Lin Qingtong understood and her expression turned cold.
It seems those two people are indeed not innocent.
