The next day, when Jiang Rong got up and went downstairs for breakfast, he didn't see Shang Shaoheng, but met the smiling housekeeper Lin.
Although Butler Lin had been very kind to her before, there was something obviously wrong with his kindness today, causing Jiang Rong to eat breakfast in fear.
After dinner, when she was watching the news on the sofa, she overheard Housekeeper Lin making a phone call on the balcony and found out what was going on.
"...I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake? Those two were cuddling and being affectionate in the living room last night...Oh, it's embarrassing for an old man to watch, even talking about love and affection. In the end, it was the young master who carried Miss Jiang upstairs!"
"Young Master Nie came early this morning. It seemed like he had something urgent to do, so he sent the young master away. But don't worry, Madam. I see that Miss Jiang doesn't seem angry. She shouldn't get angry with the young master over such a small matter... Don't worry, I will definitely watch over them and make sure they get along well!"
Jiang Rong: “…”
No, Steward Lin, you are already so old and you are still trying to be a spy?
Jiang Rong sighed helplessly and simply continued watching the news.
The case of Qiao Zhouyi was really serious. After the police intervened in the investigation, they directly detained him. This was like adding insult to injury for the already shaky Qiao family. With the fall of Qiao Zhouyi, the backbone, the Qiao family was not far from falling apart.
And all she had to do was add fuel to the fire.
Jiang Rong changed his clothes and went out. When he arrived at the hospital entrance, Qiao Zhaodi was already waiting there.
When Qiao Zhouyi was arrested, their mother fainted from fright, so the three sisters had to take turns to look after Qiao Xun.
"Ms. Shao," Qiao Zhaodi said, "Qiao Xun is awake right now. Let's go up."
Jiang Rong nodded and followed Qiao Zhaodi into the ward.
Qiao Xun was leaning on the hospital bed watching TV. When he saw Qiao Zhaodi come in, he ordered in a harsh tone, "Peel an apple for me, quickly."
Qiao Zhaodi was obviously used to her brother's bossing around, so she washed her hands and started peeling an apple.
Qiao Xun: "Didn't Dad say he would come to see me yesterday? Why hasn't he come yet?"
Qiao Zhaodi didn't say anything, but Jiang Rong laughed: "Mr. Qiao doesn't know yet?"
Only then did Qiao Xun realize that there was a third person in the ward. He glanced at Jiang Rong and was immediately stunned.
Before at the Iris Casino, Jiang Rong covered herself tightly and Qiao Xun didn't recognize her.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Rong smiled and said, "Don't you recognize me, Young Master Qiao, so soon? I'm still not satisfied with the big bet we had at the Iris Casino."
Hearing this, even Qiao Zhaodi looked at Jiang Rong in surprise. She didn't expect that Jiang Rong was the one who not only made Qiao Xun lose money but also lost his finger and sperm.
Qiao Xun's expression immediately twisted into a hideous expression. "It's you?! How dare you show up here!"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Jiang Rong pulled a chair and sat down, saying, "I won fair and square against Young Master Qiao."
"You...you!" Qiao Xun was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.
Jiang Rong said considerately: "If you can't curse now, you can curse later. I came to you today to tell you a good news."
"Your father, Qiao Zhouyi, will most likely be sentenced to death by firing squad, or at worst, life imprisonment. You probably don't know this yet, right?"
"...What?!" Qiao Xun exclaimed in astonishment: "How is this possible?!"
Jiang Rong said, "A major construction accident occurred on the Qiao family's construction site, killing more than a dozen people. Qiao Zhouyi concealed the incident and failed to report it. This alone is enough to get him imprisoned for more than a decade. Not to mention his other illegal activities such as falsifying accounts and evading taxes."
Qiao Xun stared at Qiao Zhaodi and said, "She's lying to me, right?! How could Dad get caught?!"
Qiao Zhaodi said gently, "She didn't lie to you."
"Dad is indeed still at the police station. The police will submit the evidence to the court soon. I asked a lawyer, and he will be sentenced to life imprisonment at the very least. Mom fell ill after she found out, so she didn't come to take care of you."
"Then why didn't you tell me?!" Qiao Xun said angrily, "What were you trying to do by hiding this from me? Are you planning to divide up all the family property while I'm away?!"
Jiang Rong said with interest, "It's for your own good that they didn't tell you. After all, if you knew, what else could you do except be furious and helpless?"
"As for the property you mentioned... that's even more interesting. The Qiao family is just a facade now. Forget property. Once the court's ruling comes out, you'll be burdened with a huge debt."
Qiao Xun immediately panicked: "Why me?!"
"Because your sisters aren't heirs." Jiang Rong said with a smile, "They haven't received any benefits from the Qiao family. Why should they repay the debt?"
"Besides," Qiao Zhaodi put the peeled apple on the plate and said, "Qiao Xun, Pan Di, Wang Di and I will be going abroad soon."
"This is the last apple I peel for you as your sister."
Qiao Xun's face turned purple: "You want to run away?!"
"I'm telling you, no way! You want to flee abroad just because something's wrong at home. How could such a good thing happen in this world?!"
"And... and you have no money. Yes, you have no money. You can't even leave the country!"
Qiao Zhaodi said, "We really don't have any money, but this Miss Shao said that Iris Casino will send us abroad and cover our living expenses for our first year abroad."
"Iris Casino?" Qiao Xun finally reacted and yelled, "You were a f**king member of Iris Casino from the beginning?! You bitch, how dare you play tricks on me!"
Jiang Rong smiled faintly: "I don't mind cutting off your tongue too, do you want to try it?"
Qiao Xun covered his mouth in fear.
"Actually, you're not without a way out now." Jiang Rong stood up and said, "You still have an aunt who loves you, Young Master Qiao."
"The Jiang family is thriving right now. Go and beg your good aunt and uncle to save your father, save you, and save the Qiao family. This should be a piece of cake for them, right?"
"Yes..." Qiao Xun murmured, "I still have my aunt... The Jiang family is so rich and powerful... They can definitely save Dad..."
Jiang Rong patted Qiao Xun on the shoulder and encouraged him, "This is your last and only chance, Young Master Qiao. You must seize it well."
Qiao Xun immediately threw off the quilt and stood up, running out regardless of the pain. Jiang Rong looked at his panicked back and smiled.
I wonder how big the fire will burn if Qiao Xun adds this firewood.
I really can't wait to find out.
"Who are you?" Qiao Zhaodi suddenly asked, "You hate the Qiao family, and you hate the Jiang family, right?"
Jiang Rong spread out his hands and smiled: "Guess."
"...You are Jiang Rong." Qiao Zhaodi said confidently, "I saw you when you were a child. At that time, I felt that the Jiang family would be destroyed in your hands."
