Chapter 138 No one can stop her from leaving
The spoiled and willful young lady, even after seeing the news reports, still didn't know to run away. She even clung to the hope that none of this would come to her.
When Jiang Xingyao and her men intercepted Du Wei at a villa in the suburbs, Du Wei was leaning back on the sofa watching TV, seemingly unconcerned and extremely relaxed.
She had no intention of running away, which made Jiang Xingyao's hasty attempt to intercept her seem unnecessary.
Jiang Xingyao's anger reached its peak when she saw this scene. Before she could speak, Du Wei shrieked, "What are you doing here? Don't force me to sue you for trespassing."
“Ms. Du, go ahead and sue. Let’s see when the police come. Will they investigate me for trespassing first, or will they investigate you for intentional homicide first?” Jiang Xingyao said.
"What intentional homicide? You're just standing there perfectly fine. What does the music hall incident have to do with me? Don't make baseless accusations!" Du Wei shouted.
She remained defiant, unaware that her words had exposed her entire behavior.
Jiang Xingyao's phone had been recording audio since she came in.
She looked at Du Wei and said, "Miss Du, I never said that you killed me, nor did I say that I came to see you because of the music hall. What is this? Is this an admission of guilt?"
"I…"
“Du Wei, I have never provoked you. You have repeatedly provoked me, even risking my life. What are you after?” Jiang Xingyao asked.
She pressed on relentlessly, causing Du Wei's pupils to flicker. Du Wei seemed to have finally reached her breaking point, and she said, "You still dare to say you didn't provoke me, Jiang Xingyao, how can you be so shameless?"
You're a married woman, what right do you have to compete with me for Huaiyan?
Is the capital city not big enough for you? Why did you come to the port city?
If it weren't for you, I would have been the first place winner in that piano competition, and I would have been the one invited to the Zhou family by Brother Huaiyan.
Jiang Xingyao, you're incredibly lucky! Such a huge lamp didn't even hit you.
Du Wei stood up, her face contorted with rage as she glared at Jiang Xingyao.
Online reports are unclear, only stating that an accident occurred at the music venue and people were injured; more specific details have not yet been revealed.
The chandelier was pointing directly at Jiang Xingyao, and since Jiang Xingyao was still standing there unharmed, Du Wei felt that no major accident had occurred, and even if someone had been injured, it wouldn't have been too serious.
The Du family still has some connections in Hong Kong. As long as no one dies, her father can protect her.
Du Wei showed no remorse. Every word she uttered stirred Jiang Xingyao's nerves, making her uncontrollably recall the crimson blood everywhere.
Unable to bear it any longer, Jiang Xingyao grabbed a vase from the table and smashed it directly at Du Wei's head.
The vase, filled with water and flowers, was smashed by Jiang Xingyao, shards of porcelain splattering everywhere. Water mixed with blood flowed down Du Wei's face.
Red rose petals fell, a few landing on Du Wei's head, tinged with blood, making it look particularly eerie.
Du Wei screamed and yelled, "Jiang Xingyao, are you sick? I'm going to kill you!"
Seeing that things were not going well, Assistant Han tried to step forward, but the mouth of the vase that Jiang Xingyao was holding was already pressed against Du Wei's neck.
The vase was shattered, its cuts uneven. Jiang Xingyao didn't say anything, but Du Wei could already feel the stinging pain of the porcelain shards embedded in her neck.
She swallowed hard, and a hint of fear finally flashed in her usually self-righteous eyes.
Just then, the villa door was kicked open again, and Zhou Huaiyan arrived with Du Ruhai.
Upon seeing the scene, Du Ruhai anxiously asked, "What exactly happened? Weiwei, didn't you go abroad? Why are you here?"
And Miss Jiang, what did Weiwei do to offend you? Why are you…”
He was forcibly brought from the company's conference room by Zhou Huaiyan's men, and he knew nothing about the news online.
Before Du Ruhai could finish speaking, Jiang Xingyao tossed aside the broken porcelain in her hand, took out her phone, and played the recording.
Du Ruhai's face changed from anger to panic, especially when he heard Du Wei admit to damaging the chandelier. He was so angry that his breathing became heavy, and he slapped Du Wei across the face: "You wretched child, how could you do such a thing?"
Fortunately, Miss Jiang is unharmed; otherwise, even your life wouldn't be enough to atone for your actions.
Du Ruhai knew that Du Wei had made a serious mistake this time, so he quickly made his stance clear. He was also secretly relieved that Jiang Xingyao was still standing there unharmed.
If something really happens to Jiang Xingyao, even if President Zhou doesn't support her, her mad dog-like ex-husband won't let Weiwei off the hook.
"Does Mr. Du really think that Miss Du can pay for her mistakes with her life?" Jiang Xingyao asked.
“Of course, if Miss Jiang had really met with an accident, this wretched girl would deserve to pay with her life for what she did,” Du Ruhai said, looking into Jiang Xingyao’s cold eyes. “On the other hand, thankfully Miss Jiang is alright. You see…”
“President Du is indeed a man of great principle. Then you should prepare to make her pay with her life.” Jiang Xingyao interrupted Du Ruhai’s attempt to smooth things over.
"This... Miss Jiang, you're alright, aren't you? Weiwei only made a mistake in a moment of impulse, but..."
“Just because I’m fine doesn’t mean everyone else is. Jin Qingyu is still in the hospital, his life hanging in the balance. Since President Du is so righteous, he should be prepared to have your daughter die with him,” Jiang Xingyao said.
When Du Ruhai heard this, he finally realized the seriousness of the situation. He could no longer protect Du Wei and asked nervously and anxiously, "You said it was President Jin who was in trouble?"
Jiang Xingyao didn't speak, and Du Ruhai already knew the answer.
He slapped Du Wei across the face again, this time with even more force, turning her face to the side. He kept muttering, "You wicked girl, you wicked girl, how could I have given birth to such a jinx? Get out! From today onwards, you are no longer a member of the Du family."
"Miss Jiang, I have severed ties with Du Wei. If anything happens to Mr. Jin because of her actions, you may kill him or widow him, it's up to you."
"Dad!" Du Wei didn't expect Du Ruhai to abandon her so decisively. She had only called out to Du Ruhai when she was interrupted by him, "Shut up. From now on, I am not your father. The Du family has no daughter like you."
"What a brilliant move to sacrifice a pawn to save the king," Jiang Xingyao said cryptically. Du Ruhai was covered in cold sweat, and he kept repeating that he and Du Wei had nothing to do with each other anymore.
Zhou Huaiyan, who had been silent until now, said, "President Du, I remember I gave you a chance."
“This…” Du Ruhai said, “It’s this wretched girl. She ran away and came back on her own. President Zhou, I really didn’t know anything about this. Our Du family has nothing to do with her anymore. Do whatever you want with her.”
Du Wei still wanted to plead with Du Ruhai, but now Du Ruhai wouldn't even give her a glance.
Zhou Huaiyan said, "President Du, the victims in this matter are Ms. Jiang and President Jin. I'm just here to make a formality. If you really want to make a request, let's wait until President Jin wakes up."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhou is right. I will keep a close eye on this unfilial daughter. Once Mr. Jin wakes up, I will definitely take her to apologize to him," Du Ruhai said.
"What do you think, Yao Yao?" Zhou Huaiyan asked Jiang Xingyao.
Jiang Xingyao held her phone tightly. She had obtained the evidence that Du Wei had hired someone to commit murder. Although the matter was directed at her, it was Jin Qingyu who was injured, so it was normal to leave it to Jin Qingyu to handle.
Jiang Xingyao didn't say much, but she inquired about Jin Qingyu's current situation from Zhou Huaiyan.
The person has come out of the operating room. Two of their ribs were broken, one of which pierced their lung. The situation is somewhat serious, but fortunately it is not fatal.
After confirming that Jin Qingyu was not in mortal danger, Jiang Xingyao sent a copy of the evidence on her phone to Zhou Huaiyan, asking him to pass it on to Jin Qingyu.
Seeing her posture, Zhou Huaiyan was a little surprised. He asked, "Aren't you planning to wait for him to wake up and hand it to him personally? After all, this is the evidence you found."
He still remembered how Jiang Xingyao rushed out of the hospital. He even thought that Jiang Xingyao still couldn't let go of Jin Qingyu.
“Brother Huaiyan, I’m only looking for this evidence to seek justice for myself. He’s the victim now, so it’s only fair that he handles this. I don’t need to see him,” Jiang Xingyao said.
It's over between her and Jin Qingyu. Even if Jin Qingyu rushed forward to shield her from that blow for some unknown reason, it can't erase everything that happened before.
Of course, she wouldn't bother to see Jin Qingyu again; there was no need.
Zhou Huaiyan was somewhat surprised by Jiang Xingyao's resolute attitude, but he didn't say anything.
Jiang Xingyao said, "Brother Huaiyan, I found this evidence, so don't tell him."
It's better to avoid trouble.
She'll be leaving soon, so there's no need for her to have any further involvement with Jin Qingyu.
The incident at the music venue has gained increasing attention online.
The day after the incident, someone posted the video of that day online, and Jin Qingyu's identity and situation were almost completely exposed.
On the third day, news circulated online that the patriarch of the Jin family had arrived in Hong Kong by private jet.
When Jiang Xingyao saw the notification on her phone, she quickly swiped it away.
Her phone was quiet; it was a new number, and the only call log was from Ji Yunyin.
Jiang Xingyao thought that the old man must have called her many times when he came to Hong Kong.
Perhaps she shouldn't have kept this a secret from her grandfather as well.
But having already made this choice, Jiang Xingyao has no regrets.
This time, no one could stop her from leaving.
The wound on her leg had begun to scab over after seven days of rest. Jiang Xingyao counted the days and went to see Madam Rongyue as promised, bringing her divorce certificate and a brand new cell phone that was spotless.
