Chapter 69 Will She Still Be Willing to Follow You?
The evidence was irrefutable and Tao Siran had no way to refute it.
Sitting there without saying a word.
Uncle Tao saw this and said, "Why are you arguing with a student?"
"She's pestering Jingyan!" Tao Siran collapsed and yelled, "She's the one who's against me, openly trying to steal my person!"
Everyone in the room looked at Jiang Jingyan.
The latter took a sip of tea slowly and said in a nonchalant tone, "Are you sure?"
Tao Siran could not stand steadily, looking like a withered skeleton.
After Jiang Jingyan's privacy was exposed in person, there was no turning back in this relationship.
"It was Aunt Jiang who said—" She braked in time and took a deep breath.
Jiang Jingyan played with his phone, his smile cold, "You mean, these despicable things were instigated by my mother."
Tao Siran was in a state of confusion.
Mrs. Chiang was unaware of this and had indeed advised her not to go beyond the limit.
No matter what, she didn't have the courage to drag Mrs. Chiang into this.
Jiang Jingyan glanced at the phone screen. "Mother is still busy because of Madam Tao's investigation, but father is free, so I asked him to come directly."
"Jingyan!" Tao Siran ran to hug his arms, "Jingyan, not Aunt Jiang!"
"Who is that?" Jiang Jingyan stared at her, the murderous look in his eyes penetrating her internal organs.
Sister Fu broke free from the bodyguards and pressed the record and play button.
"Ask your male student to drug Chen Qing and take him to the hotel..."
"I want all the photos and videos. She's just an orphan. You can insult her however you want. Don't show any mercy."
"...I'm more satisfied with the current situation. Yan Baiqing drank that glass of wine, killing two birds with one stone. He ruined their reputations together. I've always disliked him..."
Tao Siran's voice came out clearly.
Uncle Tao stood up and paced back and forth in anger. "I have to go to work immediately and tell the school to retract the results of the investigation. The mess you caused has exposed an innocent student to controversy. Once the news gets out, my colleagues will think I'm protecting my family and allowing the school to cover up the truth. You, you! Brother-in-law, you raised such a good daughter!"
He walked away in a huff.
Aunt Tao had been silent the entire time, but suddenly asked, "Did anyone call the police about this?"
Of course, no one dared to spread gossip at the banquet. If the outside world didn't know about it, this matter wouldn't be so troublesome.
"Senior Brother is quietly investigating. Since Sister Fu said that leaving the country is restricted, perhaps she has already found out and is waiting for the response from me and the Tao family."
My aunt became serious. She looked at Minister Tao and said, "Brother, you decide."
Tao Siran's face was pale and he fell into the chair.
Minister Tao was furious and slapped her. "You bastard! How dare you plot against Mr. Yan? You're so capable! How can you expect Jingyan and his senior brother to get along? As a wife, if you don't help your husband mediate, your mother has taught you in vain!"
"If Si Ran did it, it has nothing to do with me." Jiang Jingyan heard the hidden meaning in his words and made his attitude clear, showing no mercy. "Besides, she and I are not married yet."
Minister Tao was speechless and stared at him.
"Mrs. Tao's nephew committed a crime, and my mother was implicated. My father is caught in a dilemma. Si Ran is using my name to do something shameful. Minister Tao, do you think my father would agree to marry such a daughter-in-law?"
Tao Siran covered his cheek, his voice hoarse, "Someone else slandered me, Jingyan... This Sister Fu might have been sent by Chen Qing to cause trouble——"
"Didn't you send Chen Qing away?"
She was stunned, neither crying nor making a fuss.
After so many days of planning, she believed that nothing would go wrong.
No matter how much Chen Qing pleases Jiang Jingyan, the Jiang family disagrees, and Jiang Jingyan will not offend the Tao family. As long as Chen Qing is dealt with and her reputation is ruined, she and Jiang Jingyan will be engaged smoothly, and the two families will officially be in the same boat. Her position cannot be shaken by others.
"Last time you angered Senior Brother, he came forward and the higher-ups had to interrogate you. It was my mother and I who protected you. This time, if the Yan family wants to hold you accountable, you, the Tao family, will handle it yourselves."
Jiang Jingyan leaned over, caressing her tear marks, and lowered his voice, "More than one person has advised you, but you just won't stop. If you continue to pester me, won't you be a burden to my Jiang family?"
Tao Siran's hands and feet went limp and he slid off the chair to the ground.
Only at this moment did she understand why Jiang Jingyan had been so obedient to her these days and why he had indulged her last night.
It turns out that it was all for today...
Jiang Jingyan stood up, straightened his clothes, and solemnly poured tea for Minister Tao. "After such a joke, the engagement cannot be resolved. Si Ran and I are done with this."
Tao Siran choked and shook his head, his hair was disheveled and he looked miserable.
Minister Tao trembled as he picked up the teacup. Before he even brought it to his lips, Jiang Jingyan looked down at him in a low voice, "Minister Tao, please consider whether you should cancel the engagement or ask my father first."
Minister Tao closed his eyes, leaned on the armrest and sighed, "Since Mr. Jiang has given us respect, my Tao family should also show some attitude. There is no need to alarm Mr. Jiang."
If Jiang Zhongyi were to make the decision, this matter would definitely be made public.
It is better to solve it as soon as possible, otherwise, there will be more trouble later.
"Do you have any plans for the reason of breaking off the engagement?"
His face was exhausted, and his voice was extremely haggard. "Si Ran and Mr. Jiang have only been together for a month or so, and their relationship is shallow. Coincidentally, Si Ran decided to study abroad, so the two of you... your fate has come to an end."
"Dad!" Tao Siran used his hands and feet to pull his trouser legs, "You can't send me away! I won't leave!"
Minister Tao straightened his back and ignored him.
Jiang Jingyan put on his coat and stepped out of the box.
Tao Siran was unwilling to give up and chased after him for two steps until they reached the corridor. "Do you have to do this to such an extreme for her?"
There are festive decorations all around.
She was wearing a formal dress, and so was the man.
In such an environment, Jiang Jingyan's eyes were sinister and sharp, "Instead of questioning me, why not think about what you have done."
"You forced me to do this!"
He faced her and reached out to tidy up her messy hair.
His fingertips slid lightly across her cheek, and suddenly, he easily grabbed her neck.
"From the very beginning, what you did to Chen Qing, was it also forced by me?" Jiang Jingyan said with a half-smile, his tone so cold that it was frightening. "I agreed to meet you, and you regarded yourself as the future daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. The dinner, the landlord, the police station, all these things, I have not yet settled accounts with you."
Tao Siran had difficulty breathing and his whole body was twitching.
"If you behave yourself, I'll be willing to part ways with you amicably, but you tried to drug Chen Qing—"
He tightened his fingers, using only three or four points of force. Tao Siran's face turned red, and his eyeballs were suddenly filled with bloodshot.
After a long while, he let go.
Tao Siran covered his throat and coughed, then looked up. "Jiang Jingyan, you and Chen Qing are not allowed to see each other in public. You made me lose face like this. I will drag you down with me even if I die."
"You can try." Jiang Jingyan took out a handkerchief and wiped his fingers. "It's hard to say whether Madam Tao can come out safely. Your Tao family has damaged my mother's reputation. If my Jiang family really wants to investigate, who will others believe then?"
Tao Siran was trembling uncontrollably.
She must be crazy to want to threaten Jiang Jingyan.
How could a mere Sister Fu break into an engagement party?
She thought her every move was clever, but it was all under Jiang Jingyan's control.
If they really fall out, Jiang Zhongyi will personally order an investigation into Mrs. Tao.
The outside world will only think that she is taking revenge on the Jiang family, and no matter what she says, it is just slander.
Tao Siran's rationality was gone, he cried and laughed, "Don't forget, it was you who sent Chen Qing away last night."
The man's face was calm.
"You've been meticulously planning this, protecting me time and again in front of her, but the person protecting her is Yan Baiqing! No matter how deep our feelings are, they can't withstand the test of these days of superficial play. Will she still be willing to be with you?"
Jiang Jingyan strode away.
Turn a deaf ear to the curses behind you.
