All three of them widened their eyes.
"Anian...those are your uncle and aunt!" Qiao Zhaodi asked bewilderedly, "You want to...sue them?"
Jiang Nian had never liked his uncle Qiao Zhouyi, so naturally there was no affection between them. He said directly, "It's you who want to sue them."
"As far as I know, the Qiao family's company had financial problems before it went bankrupt." Jiang Nian said, "Falsifying accounts and evading taxes are no small matter."
"Cousin, as their eldest daughter, it's impossible that you don't know anything about this, right?"
Qiao Zhaodi pursed her lips. She didn't answer directly, but asked, "Can you really send us abroad?"
"He can't, but Iris Casino can." Jiang Rong took off his sunglasses and said, "Let me introduce myself. My last name is Shao, and I'm the current owner of Iris Casino."
"Iris Casino?!" Qiao Zhaodi said in horror, "You were the ones who chopped off Qiao Xun's fingers and—"
"Yes." Jiang Rong smiled. "To add, the personal rights of the three young ladies are now in my hands. After all, Qiao Xun has already sold you to me."
The youngest, Qiao Wangdi, was so frightened that she burst into tears. Qiao Zhaodi also tried her best to stay calm and asked, "Do you have a grudge against the Qiao family?"
"I guess so." Jiang Rong took out his phone and checked the time. "I have other things to do, so I'm only asking once about this deal. Do you agree to cooperate?"
Qiao Zhaodi pinched her palms tightly and asked, "How do you prove that you are from Iris Casino?"
Jiang Rong pulled a contract from her bag, waved it in front of the three of them, and said, "You should recognize Qiao Xun's signature. This is the contract he signed. It clearly states in black and white that I will sell you to the Iris Casino."
The contracts are all with Jiang Rong, so how could they be fake? Not to mention Jiang Nian...
"Cousin." Jiang Nian sighed, "I'm also feeling sorry for you. I just said that if you continue like this, you will be taken away by the Iris Casino. No one can predict what will happen to you then."
"I..." Qiao Zhaodi gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I agree!"
"I've interned at the company before and know there are problems with their accounting. Not only are there issues with tax evasion, but there are also issues with concealing fatalities during construction, misappropriating public funds, bribing officials, and engaging in vicious competition..."
"Wow." Jiang Rong whistled and said, "Qiao Zhouyi has a lot of things going on.
"These things... I have evidence." Qiao Zhaodi took a deep breath. "I was afraid they would sell my sisters out, so I kept it to use as a bargaining chip. I have compiled all the information, and I can definitely get Dad... get Qiao Zhouyi to go to jail."
Jiang Rong smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't just accept it."
She stood up: "Well, happy cooperation?"
Qiao Zhaodi shook her hand and said, "...It's a pleasure working with you."
…
After leaving the coffee shop, Jiang Nian suppressed his doubts and asked the most important question: "Where are you going now?"
Jiang Rong: "Everyone go back to their own home and find their own mother, where else can they go?"
Jiang Nian: "Your home?"
Jiang Rong didn't answer, but just said: "I have something else to do, so I really left."
"Jiang Rong!" Jiang Nian called out. When Jiang Rong stopped and looked back at him, he said, "I'm sorry."
"I treated you like that before."
Jiang Rong curved his lips and smiled: "Oh."
"...Oh, what does that mean?!"
“It means I know.”
Jiang Nian: "Have you forgiven me?"
"You're dreaming," Jiang Rong said. "You've caused me so much emotional pain, and you want to write it off with a simple apology. How could such a thing be possible in this world?"
"Be prepared to work like a slave for me." She waved her hand, her tone casual and unfocused: "Go back."
Jiang Nian looked at her back.
That thin shadow gradually overlapped with a small shadow deep in my memory, which was Jiang Rong when he was younger.
She seemed to have always been like this, walking aimlessly in front of him. Whenever he looked up, he could see her back.
Jiang Nian pursed her lips and took a taxi home.
Jiang Panyu happened to be at home today. After what happened with Qiao Xun, Qiao Yixiuan fell ill. Although her condition was not serious, she was always in low spirits. Jiang Panyu went to the kitchen to make soup for his mother.
"A Nian?" Seeing Jiang Nian coming back at this time, Jiang Panyu asked in surprise: "Didn't you say you were going out to play with friends?"
Jiang Nian looked at her with a complicated expression. After a while, he said, "Sister, I lost the amulet you gave me. Can you help me get another one?"
Jiang Panyu was stunned for a moment, then she realized that the red string that Jiang Nian had always worn around her neck was gone. She said, "If it's gone, then it's gone. It's not something important."
"..." Jiang Nian said, "But didn't you say before that this amulet is very effective? After wearing it, I feel much better."
Jiang Panyu's expression was a little unnatural as she explained, "Aren't you very healthy now? Besides, you're old now, so you don't need things like amulets anymore."
The disappointment in Jiang Nian's eyes deepened.
"...But I really like that amulet." Jiang Nian said hoarsely, "Can't you give me another one?"
The amulet was not something she had asked for. Jiang Panyu had no idea how to get it. She hesitated for a moment and smiled: "If you like it so much, fine, I will go and get another one for you."
She had originally planned to find a similar one later, but unexpectedly Jiang Nian said, "I got this amulet from the White Horse Temple. Sister, do you still remember their abbot?"
"...Of course." Jiang Panyu said, "How could I not remember?"
Jiang Nian clenched her fingers and gritted her teeth, "...I got the amulet from Baoxiang Temple, sister."
Jiang Panyu's expression changed, and he said calmly, "Oh, then I remembered it wrong."
"It's already this late, are you still lying?" Jiang Nian whispered, "This amulet was given to me by Jiang Rong. It's not you at all. Why are you lying to me?!"
Jiang Panyu's face turned pale. She clutched her apron for a long time before she said, "You were in a car accident and kept calling me sister in your dream. I... I wanted to comfort you..."
"What happened next?" Jiang Nian stared at her. "Why didn't you tell me then?"
Jiang Panyu turned her head away, not daring to look into Jiang Nian's eyes. "Because my parents think that you will never have any contact with Jiang Rong again in the future, it's a good thing to forget her, so they asked me not to mention her to you again."
"So you've officially become my sister and transferred all my feelings for her onto yourself, right?!" The boy's eyes were bloodshot and watery, and he practically roared, "Jiang Panyu, what's the difference between you and a thief?!"
