Qiao Yaxiang was taken aback at first, then realized what she meant and said, "That's not what I meant."
Then, seeing the way Jian Jiaojiao looked at her, she could only sigh helplessly.
Thinking about what her daughter had gone through today, she understood why her personality had changed so drastically.
That evening, at Jian Jiaojiao's insistence, she was discharged from the hospital.
...
The Jian family.
It was late at night when the two got home. Jian Jiaojiao walked in front, and Qiao Yaxiang followed behind.
As soon as Jian Jiaojiao entered, she closed the door, leaving Qiao Yaxiang standing at the door with a rather unpleasant expression.
Qiao Yaxiang knocked on the door and said, "Jiaojiao, Mom knows you're in a bad mood. It's fine if you want to be alone. If there's anything you can't figure out, come find me. I'll stay home and won't go anywhere."
Qiao Yaxiang waited for a long time but didn't receive a reply from Jian Jiaojiao. She immediately realized that Jian Jiaojiao was still blaming her.
So she prepared to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
She glanced at it and answered the call, "Hello, Brother Zhao."
"Hmm." On the other side, Zhao's father, who was still in the hotel, couldn't sleep. Thinking about how Qiao Yaxiang looked when she left, he was a little worried.
"Why are you crying? Who made you unhappy?"
Qiao Yaxiang: "No, it's just that Jiaojiao has suffered, and I feel a little sorry for her."
Upon hearing this, Zhao's father frowned deeply. "What's wrong with your daughter? Does she need any help? Just let me know if there's anything I can do to help."
Qiao Yaxiang said, "Thank you, Brother Zhao. We can handle this."
Although she really wanted Zhao's father to step in for her, he gave up the idea because he remembered that when Jian Jiaojiao had asked him for help because of Jian Mingpeng's matter.
After all, he was still the mastermind behind this whole affair.
Mr. Zhao replied, "Okay, then you go ahead with your work. Contact me anytime if anything comes up."
...
Inside the room.
After entering, Jian Jiaojiao went straight to the table, took out a spare phone from the cabinet, and inserted a spare SIM card.
He then made a phone call.
Shortly after, the call was answered.
"Hello, who is this?"
Jian Jiaojiao said coldly, "Who I am is not important. I just need to know that you are Brother Tiger of the Black Tiger Gang."
"Who are you?"
At this moment, Black Tiger was already quite drunk, but upon hearing Jian Jiaojiao's words, he regained some clarity.
Jian Jiaojiao: "I need Tiger's help with something. The price is negotiable."
...
late at night.
At the underpass where Jian Jiaojiao had her accident, a group of people suddenly appeared and woke up the homeless people from their sleep.
Seeing the menacing approach, the homeless man was no longer as calm and cheerful as he had been when facing Jian Jiaojiao; instead, he was filled with fear.
"Who are you people?" one of the bolder homeless men asked.
One of the newcomers sneered, "Here to take your life."
All the homeless men immediately realized that the newcomers meant them harm. They tried to flee in all directions, but they were no match for those who had lived on the edge of a knife.
Within moments, the bridge arch was filled with blood.
The leader glanced at it and ordered, "Clean it up; someone caught us red-handed."
He then walked to the side, picked up his phone, and made a call.
"Brother, it's all taken care of."
Black Tiger, who was drinking with a beautiful woman, was overjoyed upon hearing this.
“Well done. Take the brothers out for a good meal, put it on my tab.”
Black Tiger was overjoyed at the thought of the million he was about to receive, and unusually generous.
After hanging up, Black Tiger immediately dialed the number he had just called.
"The matter is settled. When will the final payment be made?"
Upon hearing this, Jian Jiaojiao's eyes turned cold as she said, "Are you sure you didn't leave anything behind? I won't be responsible if anything comes up later."
Black Tiger said, "Don't worry about that. I know my brother. I'll handle this matter perfectly for you, and no one will suspect you."
Upon hearing this, Jian Jiaojiao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll transfer it to you later."
After hanging up the phone, Jian Jiaojiao transferred the money.
Jian Jiaojiao held her phone, scrolling through the online public opinion that had been fermenting for a day. She saw that the voices were increasingly speaking up for Jian Yixue, and many unknown netizens had even begun to condemn her.
Ironically, this group of people turned out to be the same ones who had previously been vehemently criticizing Jian Yixue.
Jian Jiaojiao sneered, "How ironic!"
"Jian Yixue, Ye Mohan, you forced me into this! Even if I lose everything, I will drag you down to hell with me!"
...
After daybreak.
Yang Guobing and his wife, who had been restless all night, had their brows furrowed. Finally, as dawn broke, Mrs. Yang could no longer contain herself. She turned to Yang Guobing beside her, who had also been awake all night, and said, "Guobing, do you think she'll let us off the hook now that no one is criticizing her online anymore?"
Yang Guobing sat on the sofa, looking at the company's stock chart on his laptop. It was still all green, and his brows furrowed deeply.
Upon hearing Madam Yang's words, he immediately turned to look at her and said, "Do you think the Ye family is so easy to talk to?"
Madam Yang was speechless, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
I naturally understood that the Ye family was powerful and influential, and there were rumors that the current head of the Ye family was cold-blooded and ruthless, and that he did things without hesitation. My previous actions were tantamount to slapping the Ye family in the face, so my expression immediately turned ugly.
Mrs. Yang looked at Yang Guobing with a helpless expression and said, "What should we do? We can't just stand by and watch the company be destroyed like this."
Yang Guobing glanced at Madam Yang with displeasure, then said, "Why didn't you do this earlier!"
Madam Yang was speechless.
She was indeed in the wrong in this matter.
Seeing Madam Yang's appearance, Yang Guobing didn't intend to say anything more. He pondered for a moment and then said, "This is the only way now."
...
Inside the castle.
After breakfast, the village chief, as always, couldn't stay idle and went to help at the farm, while Jian Yixue and the other three sat at the tea table and drank tea.
After yesterday, Dongfang Tinglan and Gong Beize also learned about what happened online.
Dongfang Tinglan looked at Jian Yixue with some concern, "Xue'er, have you seen what happened online?"
Jian Yixue took a sip of tea, looked up at Dongfang Tinglan, and said, "Hmm? What?"
She didn't react for a moment.
Seeing this, Ye Mohan said, "Mom is probably referring to the Jian family's slander against you."
He knew that Gong Beize was there, so naturally he would know about this matter.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue suddenly realized what was going on and smiled, saying, "It's a small matter, I can handle it, Mom, don't worry."
Dongfang Tinglan disagreed, saying, "This is no small matter; it concerns your reputation. Besides, they are clearly in the wrong, yet they are spreading rumors and slandering you! If you can't handle this yourself, your father and I will step in."
After Dongfang Tinglan finished speaking, she specifically glanced at Gong Beize.
