Chapter 62: Could there be such a coincidence?
Settle Ruan Yue.
Jiang Tingwan immediately called the housekeeper.
"Please ask my mother if she has time tomorrow. I want to talk to her about something."
Got a positive answer.
Just as she was about to get up, her assistant called.
"Mr. Jiang, the president of the multinational project is here."
Jiang Tingwan frowned slightly, having almost forgotten about this matter.
She glanced at Ruan Yue who was sitting quietly and sighed helplessly.
She walked to Ruan Yue, patted her shoulder gently, and said in a gentle tone:
"Something happened at the company. You should have a good rest. We will go to mother's place together tomorrow."
Ruan Yue nodded obediently.
-------------------------------------------
In the conference room, Jiang Tingwan looked at the man in front of her and raised her eyebrows slightly.
The blond man was wearing a pure black suit, with deep features, but his eyes were as deep as a pool, and his aura was so strong that it could not be ignored.
"Baron." He held out his hand, his voice low.
Jiang Tingwan shook his hand politely, neither servile nor overbearing: "Jiang Tingwan."
Ryan International mainly develops new energy. The cooperation project proposed this time involves artificial intelligence infrastructure in Southeast Asia, with an investment amount of up to tens of billions of dollars, mature technology and broad market prospects.
The negotiations went smoothly, Baron's team was well prepared and the terms were favorable.
But Jiang Tingwan was not in a hurry to sign.
This project is too big to be finalized in a short time.
Baron didn't seem to mind and just nodded slightly.
After leaving the conference room, Jiang Tingwan rubbed his brows and said to Zhou Luoyao, "Go check the information of this company again."
Zhou Luoyao nodded and was about to leave when she heard Jiang Tingwan suddenly ask:
"What would you do if your sister fell in love with a man who was... a playboy?"
Zhou Luoyao raised her eyebrows without hesitation.
"Break them up, of course."
Of course she knows.
Jiang Tingwan chuckled.
“But it’s not that easy.”
She was just helping Jiang's mother deal with some matters related to the aristocratic families, and it was not her turn to interfere in Ruan Yue's love life.
Zhou Luoyao glanced at her sideways.
"Are you talking about your newly found sister?"
She paused, her tone slightly sarcastic, "Don't adopted daughters usually get along with real daughters? How can you be so calculating and still think about her?"
Jiang Tingwan supported his head, his eyes drifting away.
"I thought at first that I would have this kind of relationship with her..."
"But she once stood in my house, looking particularly helpless... I inexplicably thought of the time when I first returned to the Jiang family as a child."
Jiang Tingwan said softly, "At that time, I hoped that someone would treat me like this... just like my brother, who helped me back then."
Zhou Luoyao paused and said, "That's true. Your brother treats you well."
When she was a child, she laughed at Jiang Tingwan, but Jiang Shixu scared them with just a look.
Jiang Tingwan remained silent.
She recalled the first time Ruan Yue timidly asked her, "...Can I call you sister?"
She seemed to see her past self through Ruan Yue.
She had also asked the same question about the time sequence of the river when she was a child.
Jiang's mother and father are difficult to approach, so she chooses to please Jiang Shixu.
But Jiang Shixu said nothing.
This person has been taciturn since childhood, and she later stopped doing these unnecessary things.
-------------------------------------------
Jiang Tingwan came out of Jiang's mother's study, closed the door gently, and let out a long sigh.
She had just explained the matter between Ruan Yue and Si Yan. Although Jiang's mother looked indifferent, she did not directly object and left Ruan Yue alone to talk.
Since Jiang's mother had no objection, there was no problem with this matter.
As she was thinking, she caught a glimpse of a woman in luxurious clothes sitting in the hall.
She was holding a cup of tea and looking around from time to time.
She recognized her as her aunt from the Jiang family's side branch, who had always been dependent on the Jiang family but had made little contribution to the family.
Jiang Tingwan frowned slightly and was about to walk away.
The other person's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Ting Wan!" She lowered her voice and spoke anxiously, "I finally waited for you!"
Jiang Tingwan pulled her hand back without leaving a trace and said calmly, "Aunt, is there something wrong?"
The woman looked around, pulled her to a corner, and lowered her voice even more: "Something happened to Zihuai... Can you help him?"
Jiang Tingwan had no choice but to ask her to do the job.
This aunt was probably embarrassed to let Jiang's father and mother take care of such trivial matters, and Jiang Shixu would not care about them either, so she chose her, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family who "seemed the easiest to talk to."
"What is it?" she asked calmly.
The woman bit her lip and finally whispered.
"He...he is suspected of attempted rape. The man he met is not an ordinary person. The police are already investigating..."
Jiang Tingwan's eyes suddenly turned cold. She didn't expect it to be this kind of thing.
Jiang Zihuai, the spoiled dandy, she had heard that he had been domineering since he was a child because of his background in the Jiang family. Since he was a collateral branch, she had no control over him, but now he had caused such a scandal...
Her fingertips tightened slightly, but she didn't show it on her face. She just said lightly: "Aunt, this kind of thing is not a trivial matter."
How could she handle such a matter...? She felt sick just thinking about it.
Although the Jiang family is cold and indifferent, nothing like this has happened over the years, and her brother is a clean man.
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in the woman's eyes, but she spoke hurriedly.
"I know he's a bastard! But...but your uncle is in the critical period of the election. If this matter gets out of hand, it will also affect the reputation of the Jiang family!"
There is indeed an election going on recently, and the Huo family has been preparing for it.
Does she mean to use her uncle's election to pressure her?
Jiang Tingwan frowned and said in a colder tone: "I'll go check out the situation."
She didn't agree to help, but she didn't refuse outright either.
The woman seemed to have grasped hope and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay! I knew that you, Ting Wan, understand the overall situation best!"
Jiang Tingwan nodded slightly, turned and left.
After walking out of Jiang's house, she stood on the steps, rubbed her eyebrows, and looked at the gloomy sky with heavy eyes.
She didn't intend to cover up Jiang Zihuai's affairs.
But this matter must be handled cleanly and neatly, and must not affect my uncle's election, nor should it involve the Jiang family in a scandal.
-------------------------------------------
Jiang Zihuai was handcuffed to a chair, listlessly, with dark circles under his eyes, obviously having endured a whole night of interrogation.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up and a smug smile appeared on his face.
"Cousin! You are finally here——"
Jiang Tingwan glanced at him coldly, not even bothering to reply, and turned directly to the police officer beside him.
"I want to meet the victims."
"Ms. Jiang, the victim refuses mediation." The police officer spoke in a flat tone with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes. It was obvious that he regarded her as a rich girl who came to spend money to avoid disaster.
Jiang Tingwan smiled slightly and said calmly: "I just want to see them and have a chat."
The police officer hesitated for a moment, but still went ahead with the arrangement.
Soon, two women appeared in the police station lobby.
One of the girls with reddish-brown hair had a pale face and frightened eyes, and it was obvious that she had not yet recovered from the shock.
Another woman with long black hair, with a cool temperament and skin as white as snow, stood beside her, giving silent support.
"If you come here to pay for it, we won't sign a letter of understanding."
The black-haired woman looked directly at Jiang Tingwan, her voice calm and firm.
"You misunderstood."
Jiang Tingwan shook her head gently, her voice faint.
"His behavior is indeed unforgivable, and I am not here to help him. But I hope you can give me some time, and we can go to the cafe next door to talk."
She paused, "I will give you a satisfactory result."
Perhaps it was because her attitude was too calm, or perhaps it was because there was a convincing calmness in her temperament.
The black-haired woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement after getting the victim girl's permission.
-------------------------------------------
The sound of the ambulance siren came from far away and finally whizzed past.
Jiang Tingwan looked calmly at the two women opposite him.
"The letter of understanding has been signed."
The black-haired woman pushed the file in front of her, her tone still cold, but her hostility was obviously reduced a little.
The red-haired girl lowered her head, her fingers tightly clenched the corner of her clothes, obviously still in shock.
Jiang Tingwan nodded slightly: "Thank you."
She watched the two men get up and leave.
The moment the black-haired woman turned around, her pupils suddenly shrank——
There was a small butterfly birthmark on the back of her neck.
Exactly the same as Ruan Yue's.
Jiang Tingwan's fingers suddenly tightened.
She stared at the back, her thoughts surging.
Is there such a coincidence in this world?
