About three or four days later, just when Jiang Jucai thought he had arranged all the dirty things in his hands, his backyard caught fire!
It all started with a phone call from Wei Baoquan.
On Sunday morning, Jiang Xuanxuan was still sleeping in when she was woken up by her phone ringing.
"Who is it! Disturbing my peaceful sleep, do you want to die?" The phone kept ringing, and Jiang Xuanxuan, who wanted to ignore it, had no choice but to answer it.
"Jiang Xuanxuan! Keep your family affairs clean! Don't drag me into this!" Wei Baoquan's angry voice came from the other end of the receiver.
"What's going on at my home? It's the weekend, isn't it annoying?" Jiang Xuanxuan hadn't opened her eyes yet, but when she heard Wei Baoquan's voice, she didn't pretend anymore.
"Jiang Xuanxuan! Wake up! Your family has had such a big incident, and you're still bringing up old grievances and making news about it! My dad is nagging me to death!" Wei Baoquan was furious at Jiang Xuanxuan's attitude.
"My home? What's wrong with my home?" Jiang Xuanxuan finally sat up, her hair and face disheveled, but she was finally awake.
"You can't be serious, can you?" Wei Baoquan's tone was tinged with mockery. "Are you even stupid? What do you know besides being a spendthrift rich girl?"
"Wei Baoquan! What do you mean? Speak properly!" Jiang Xuanxuan frowned.
"Your house has been sealed off for almost a week now. Don't tell me you didn't know?"
"Seize? Seize what?" Jiang Xuanxuan really didn't know.
"Go online yourself!" Wei Baoquan thought this woman was unbelievable. He was too lazy to talk to her anymore, afraid that he would be seen as stupid.
The phone went dead. Jiang Xuanxuan was puzzled and mumbled as she washed up, put on makeup, and picked out clothes, not in a hurry at all.
After finally getting ready two hours later, she leisurely strolled to the small living room, turned on her computer, and went online.
It's no wonder that as soon as you open a webpage, almost every website has news about her, and they're all photos of her "visiting" the police station naked last time.
Of course, there are also photos of her and Wei Baoquan at the food court, and photos of her in his car...
Online media outlets doxxed her relationship with Wei Baoquan, presenting seemingly well-founded claims. The headlines, in particular, were utterly destructive to her public image.
The more she looked, the angrier she became, and Jiang Xuanxuan suddenly screamed "Ah!"
The deafening noise irritated Wang Xiuzhen, who sat on the sofa and yelled at Jiang Xuanxuan, "What are you yelling about? What about your image?"
“Image? What image?” Jiang Xuanxuan stamped her foot. “What are they saying about me online? Everyone’s so nosy!”
Wang Xiuzhen was puzzled and was about to go and see what was going on when she heard a news extra broadcast from the television set that was on.
Rumors are circulating that the daughter of department store tycoon Chiang has engaged in immoral conduct and has had promiscuous relationships. At a time when the Chiang family is under intense scrutiny during the anti-corruption campaign, will this scandal involving the daughter implicate the family business?
"Jiang Xuanxuan! What did you do?" Wang Xiuzhen stared wide-eyed at the indecent photos on TV, speechless.
"That happened a long time ago, and someone is bringing it up again! They're crazy!" Jiang Xuanxuan pouted.
"Is someone targeting you?" Wang Xiuzhen's eyes darted around. "Could it be that wretched girl surnamed Yang?"
Jiang Xuanxuan thought for a moment, then shook her head: "She doesn't have that ability!"
"Didn't she curry favor with Madam Xia?"
“A woman like Madam Xia would never do something that would damage her reputation,” Jiang Xuanxuan shook her head. “If she knew Yang Yajing wanted her to do these things, she would probably fall out of favor!”
"Then who exactly is this?" Wang Xiuzhen couldn't figure it out either.
"Wei Baoquan called me this morning, let me ask him again?" Jiang Xuanxuan said, dialing the number.
"You saw it? You'd better clean it up! Otherwise, if my dad pushes me too far, I might just reveal the truth!" Wei Baoquan was threatening her.
"Who did this?" Jiang Xuanxuan ignored his threat. "Why are you targeting us? Have you offended someone?"
"Jiang Xuanxuan, are you out of your mind?" Wei Baoquan rolled his eyes. "I was implicated, but they're targeting your Jiang family!"
"The Jiang family?" Jiang Xuanxuan didn't understand. "What happened to the Jiang family?"
"With fame comes trouble! Your Jiang family is now in the spotlight because of this investigation, so of course people will take the opportunity to stir things up!"
What are you talking about?
"You stupid woman! Is your IQ offline? Go ask your father yourself!" After saying this, Wei Baoquan hung up the phone.
"What did he say?" Wang Xiuzhen asked.
"Let me ask Dad," Jiang Xuanxuan said, shrugging.
"You old bastard! So it was him who caused this trouble! I'll go and drag him out!" Wang Xiuzhen immediately flew into a rage.
However, Jiang Jucai kept himself locked in his soundproof study and wouldn't open the door no matter how much Wang Xiuzhen threw a tantrum, because he couldn't hear her!
Finally, when it was mealtime, the maid came to deliver the food, and Wang Xiuzhen seized the opportunity.
As soon as the lock clicked, Wang Xiuzhen pushed open the study door, snatched Jiang Jucai's dinner from the servant's hand without saying a word, and slammed it at him.
"You crazy woman! What are you trying to do? Stop making noise! You're ruining the house!" Jiang Jucai said, brushing food crumbs off his clothes.
"Bad luck? Meeting an old geezer like you is bad luck!" Wang Xiuzhen pointed at Jiang Jucai's nose and cursed, "Look at the mess you've made! Now my precious daughter has to pay the price! How can you be so heartless!"
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Jucai hadn't seen the news yet.
But Wang Xiuzhen only knew how to curse and chatter on without saying anything, so Jiang Jucai had no choice but to signal the steward to reply.
