After Xia Junhu treated Jiang Jucai to a celebratory feast, Jiang Jucai felt that the company's escape from the trap was a sure thing.
He instructed his assistant to be prepared to transfer the money out once the hype died down and the attention subsided.
Just two days ago, Jiang Jucai had given Jiang Xuanxuan and Wang Xiuzhen a cold shoulder because of Madam Xia's "lack of acceptance," but today, unusually, he didn't cause trouble for the two women after returning home.
Once Jiang Jucai stopped causing them trouble, they forgot their place and started squandering money again.
Aren't you going to a press conference? This press conference is an appearance in front of the media, so you need to have appropriate clothes.
They complain that the clothes at home are either outdated or have already been worn in the media and can't be worn a second time.
So, the two women happily went to the haute couture clothing store.
But after spending half a day taking measurements and choosing a design, I was told my bank card was invalid when I went to pay the deposit.
"Invalid? How could it be invalid?" Wang Xiuzhen didn't understand. She swiped the card three times, but no money came out. She had no choice but to switch to another card and swipe again.
But the two of them had six or seven cards, and none of them could be swiped.
"What happened?" Jiang Xuanxuan asked Wang Xiuzhen.
"I don't know either. Should I call the bank and ask?"
It would have been better if she hadn't asked; the moment she did, Wang Xiuzhen was furious.
Bank staff told her that all of Jiang Jucai's supplementary cards in their possession had been suspended by Jiang Jucai a week ago.
"What? It's been suspended?" Wang Xiuzhen was furious. "How dare he suspend my card!"
When the saleswoman at the haute couture shop heard Wang Xiuzhen's question, she maintained a polite expression, but her tone was noticeably less enthusiastic: "Mrs. Jiang, Miss Jiang, would you two like to order these dresses?"
“It’s a done deal! Why wouldn’t it be?” Wang Xiuzhen was determined to attend the press conference in style.
"But your card won't swipe... this..."
"Swipe this one!" Wang Xiuzhen gritted her teeth and took out another card.
This was her secret stash of money. Although she was extravagant, she would withdraw a small amount of cash each month and deposit it into her private account.
This wasn't to prevent today's situation, because she never expected Jiang Xuanxuan's background to be exposed.
She saved this money so that she wouldn't have to let Jiang Jucai know about certain expenses she might have.
After paying the deposit, Wang Xiuzhen and Jiang Xuanxuan swaggered out of the high-end club.
Since Jiang Jucai's supplementary card was no longer usable, the two lost interest in continuing to shop and drove straight back to the Jiang family home.
Wang Xiuzhen was truly someone who forgot the pain once the wound healed. As soon as she got home, she saw that the study door was ajar, and she rushed straight into Jiang Jucai's study.
"You old bastard, why did you suspend our cards? Are you trying to distance yourself from us?" Wang Xiuzhen shouted, pointing at Jiang Jucai's nose.
"You're treating me like a sucker. Jiang Xuanxuan isn't my daughter. Why should I give you money? Haven't you been sucking me dry enough?" Jiang Jucai said matter-of-factly.
"Don't forget, we're the ones who helped you get close to the Xia family! You can distance yourself from them, and so can I! Do you believe I can make sure the Xia family doesn't care about you anymore?"
"Go ahead and try! If you dare to make the Xia family not help me, then I'll let them know that your precious daughter is a fake!"
"Hmph! Genetic screening results are out, who would believe it?" Wang Xiuzhen wasn't afraid.
"That one is fake?" Jiang Jucai sneered. "I don't have the real comparison results, but... I have the comparison results of you and your daughter."
If Jiang Jucai were to release the comparison results of Wang Xiuzhen and Jiang Xuanxuan, there would only be two possible outcomes:
First, Jiang Xuanxuan is not a daughter of the Xia family.
Secondly, Xia Changlong had an affair with Wang Xiuzhen in his early years.
The first result was not what they wanted, but Xia Changlong would definitely not ignore the second result.
At that time, Jiang Xuanxuan will definitely be compared with him again. Without Jiang Jucai's help behind the scenes, the comparison result will be the first situation.
But who is Wang Xiuzhen? She's better than anyone at being a rogue! She's now fighting a desperate battle; those with nothing to lose aren't afraid of those wearing shoes.
"Go ahead and try! I have nothing left! You still have your company to protect!" Wang Xiuzhen squinted. "At worst, we'll both suffer losses, neither of us will benefit, and we'll both be dirt poor!"
Hearing this, Jiang Jucai hesitated. He knew Wang Xiuzhen was capable of anything.
Jiang Jucai only loved his company; without it, he had nothing. Wang Xiuzhen, however, could return to the Wang family, where life, though not easy, would be better than his.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Jucai picked up the phone and asked the bank to reopen Jiang Xuanxuan's account, but still refused to open Wang Xiuzhen's.
Now that Jiang Jucai had backed down, Wang Xiuzhen stopped pressuring him. Anyway, the money was still in Jiang Xuanxuan's hands, so she could use it as she pleased.
Jiang Xuanxuan wasn't as clever as her in opening a private account; she already had one! She could just put some cash in her own card and use it anyway, right?
However, ATMs have a limited daily withdrawal limit, so you can't make much money off them.
Jiang Jucai thought the investigation into the Jiang family would soon ease up, but after waiting for two or three days, he did not see the investigators leave; on the contrary, the investigation intensified.
What's going on? Why aren't these people buying it?
Don't these people know that Jiang Jucai has climbed up the social ladder to the Xia family? Don't they know that messing with Jiang Jucai is going against the Xia family? Who has such audacity?
But the press conference hadn't started yet. He was a savvy and pragmatic man; he couldn't just openly display the Xia family's name now.
