Lin Qingtong glanced at it briefly; the bruises on his arm were indeed shocking, but upon closer inspection, she could discern some clues.
Although the wounds were bruised and purple, they were regular and neat, and it was clear that they were not caused by being beaten, but rather by being hit by something.
I hadn't seen this wound until a few days ago.
So Lin Qingtong directly opened her phone and started checking the surveillance footage from the past few days.
Looking at the contents of the surveillance video, Lin Qingtong suddenly smiled and slowly raised her eyes to look at Madam Jiang.
"You injured yourself, why do you say I hit you? Don't deny it, it's clearly recorded in the surveillance video."
Madam Jiang panicked and tried to argue, but Lin Qingtong had already shoved her phone in front of her, the video inside clearly visible.
She accidentally bumped into the coffee table.
She swallowed hard, forcing a rebuttal: "I... I'm old, my memory isn't good, I might have remembered it wrong."
Jiang Yutang realized something was wrong and continued to question Lin Qingtong.
"Lin Qingtong, then explain why you haven't come home for several days and nights. Do you have some other man outside?"
Upon hearing this, she raised an eyebrow and looked at Madam Jiang, asking her question word by word.
"Is this what you told your aunt?"
Feeling guilty, Madam Jiang didn't dare look at Lin Qingtong. But out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Jiang Hao striding into the villa. She hurriedly called out to him, her voice trembling with tears.
"Hao'er..."
The moment Jiang Hao entered the villa, he witnessed Lin Qingtong questioning Madam Jiang, and he was immediately furious.
"Lin Qingtong, what did you do to my mother?!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong glanced lazily at Jiang Hao and directly answered Jiang Yutang's question.
"Aunt, as for why I haven't been home for several days and nights, you can ask Jiang Hao."
"Ask him when he's going to bring his mistress home to meet his aunt."
Jiang Yutang was still somewhat unwilling to believe it when she heard this.
"Lin Qingtong, don't talk nonsense. I've watched Hao'er grow up since he was a child. He could never be that kind of person."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Hao's brows furrowed even more deeply, because he had absolutely no idea what had happened.
But Jiang Hao felt that as a man, he should protect the woman he loved.
So he stepped forward and displeasedly stopped Lin Qingtong from saying anything more.
“Hui Min is not a mistress. She is pregnant with my child. I will marry her sooner or later.”
These words were like a slap in the face to Jiang Yutang, instantly making her feel ashamed.
It turns out that Jiang Hao brought his mistress into the house and forced Lin Qingtong to divorce him. Then, he appeared as an elder to lecture Lin Qingtong.
That's absolutely shameful.
Madam Jiang failed to notice Jiang Yutang's malice and stepped forward to complain directly to Lin Qingtong.
“You’re never home, and you can’t even give the Jiang family a child. Now that Huimin is pregnant, can’t you be more magnanimous and accept her?”
"I don't know how the Lin family raised you. You're so ignorant and disobedient."
Jiang Yutang's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water. He looked at Madam Jiang in the distance with displeasure and coldly rebuked her.
"Shut up!"
Mrs. Jiang was taken aback, not expecting the other party to suddenly tell her to shut up.
Jiang Yutang's face showed a rare look of shame, and she said unhappily.
"How can you be so shameless? I don't know how you have the nerve to say such things?"
"A mistress is a mistress. From the moment she interferes in someone else's relationship, she becomes a despicable and filthy person, and our Jiang family will never tolerate her!"
...
Jiang Yutang unleashed a torrent of words at Jiang Hao and the other man, before finally turning to look at Lin Qingtong.
I just felt that she was an extremely pitiful little white flower, with no one to rely on and being bullied.
She stepped forward, took Lin Qingtong's hand, and apologized earnestly.
"Lin Qingtong, it is our Jiang family that has wronged you. I promise you that no matter what, Jiang Hao will never force you to divorce again."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong blinked blankly, then exclaimed inwardly.
No way! She still wants to divorce Jiang Hao!
She smiled helplessly, a faint smile playing on her lips as she explained.
“Aunt, it’s okay. If Jiang Hao really has someone else in his heart, I’m willing to get a divorce.”
"I absolutely refuse to be a flower imprisoned in a greenhouse, only able to wait for everything to wither away."
When Lin Qingtong said this, she raised her chin slightly, looking proud and aloof, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
Jiang Yutang gazed at Lin Qingtong before her, feeling as if she were enveloped in a soft, gentle light, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
"It's alright. As long as you want to do something, I, Jiang Yutang, will definitely be the first to take the lead in supporting you."
Lin Qingtong lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, when she heard Jiang Yutang turn to speak coldly to Madam Jiang.
"Sister-in-law, in my opinion, you should cancel the cooperation with the beauty salon directly. You should take care of things at home first."
Madam Jiang suddenly looked up, and with a slightly flustered expression, she began to comfort her.
"Sister, why cancel the cooperation with the beauty salon? Although I only invested 500,000 yuan, I am still a small shareholder. How can you just cancel it like that?"
"If you cancel now, it will only delay the opening of the beauty salon."
Upon hearing Madam Jiang's words, Lin Qingtong handed a bank card to Jiang Yutang with her slender fingers.
"Auntie, there's 500,000 in here. Why don't you cooperate with me?"
Jiang Yutang raised an eyebrow and took the bank card from Lin Qingtong's hand, a smile playing on her lips.
"Of course we can cooperate. Five hundred thousand is enough, as long as you don't mind a five percent share."
The two reached an agreement so easily, which angered Madam Jiang to the point of almost fainting. She pointed at Lin Qingtong but couldn't say a word for a long time.
The money she was about to get was lost because of this incident.
If I could cooperate with Jiang Yutang, a bigwig in the beauty industry, I would naturally make a fortune, and I wouldn't have to be as poor as before when I go out.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yutang simply snorted coldly and uttered a single sentence.
“Jiang Hao, let me tell you, if you really insist on bringing your mistress into the house, I will never set foot in your house again.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a deep and resonant voice rang out.
“My daughter is right. As long as you, Jiang Hao, dare to bring your mistress back, you’ll pack up and get out of here with her.”
"Our Jiang family will not provide you with any resources or assistance whatsoever; all properties will be taken back!"
The old patriarch of the Jiang family slowly stepped into the villa. Although he was using a cane, he exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Upon hearing these words from the Jiang family patriarch, Jiang Hao stomped his foot in anger and questioned him.
"Why should I, Grandpa? I'm your own grandson!"
The old patriarch of the Jiang family glanced at Jiang Hao indifferently, then slammed his cane down heavily.
"As long as you can break things off with the mistress, everything will be the same as before."
Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Lin Qingtong and suddenly called out with a pleading tone.
"Tongtong, please speak up for me! Grandpa listens to you the most."
Lin Qingtong directly took the arm of the Jiang family patriarch, smiling sweetly, and slowly uttered a sentence that made Jiang Hao grit his teeth.
