"In my opinion, you probably don't want to continue living the life Qingyun used to live, picking through garbage and being a homeless person, right?"
From the moment Jiang Yu saw Jiang Meier, she was certain that the beggar she had seen on the street several times was her. Since she had endured hardship before, she wasn't about to miss this opportunity to finally have a chance to make a living and earn money.
Sure enough, Jiang Meier paused, seemingly having figured it out, then changed her expression and smiled slightly:
So, what do you want to ask?
Since Jiang Chun is already in jail, whatever she did can be used to frame him. And she can speak without restraint, since the old man won't break out of prison to threaten her.
Thinking back to how she had blamed him for her mother's death, Jiang Meier couldn't help but feel happy.
Why do this?
Jiang Yu looked at her as if she were an ungrateful wretch.
"What?"
Jiang Meier looked puzzled.
"Why accuse him? And blame it all on him? To cover up the heinous things you've done, to deny him any hope of living, Jiang Chun is your father."
Jiang Yu knew she didn't need to be angry about this, but thinking that Jiang Chun had always treated her well, if he could push her to the brink, who knew what outrageous things he might do?
"hehe."
Jiang Meier looked at the woman in front of her, whose makeup was exquisite and whose features were beautiful. She couldn't help but burst into laughter, not even caring if she would wake others.
"Jiang Yu, what do you think you are? A saintly white lotus? Or are you just a bit dim-witted, standing up for a murderer here?"
Sometimes I really don't understand your thought process. You say he treats me well on a daily basis? Treating me well means beating and scolding me every day, not treating me like a human being? And in the end, you want me to marry a mentally challenged man.
You came from that family too, so of course you know what kind of life you've lived for the past twenty-odd years. Ask yourself honestly, does this beast, who doesn't even spare his own wife, really deserve any sympathy?
Furthermore, before you asked me why I did this, why didn't you put yourself in my shoes? If you were the one marrying a mentally challenged person today, what would you do? I don't believe you'd accept it calmly. But if you were to resist, do you have a better way?
His words sounded like a lament about his misfortunes, or perhaps a venting of his pent-up frustrations. At the height of his emotion, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes turned bloodshot.
"I'm not some saintly white lotus, and I'm not asking these questions to stand up for anyone. I just want an answer. Since you have your own choice, I won't ask anymore. After all, I'm not a member of the Jiang family, so I have no reason to get involved in these matters."
Jiang Yu stared straight at the woman, looking as if she already knew the whole truth, watching her actions.
"What...what nonsense are you talking about?"
Upon hearing her words, the tension was visibly palpable in their eyes as they locked gazes.
"Whether I'm lying or not, you know in your heart. Now there's only one request: hand over the safety lock."
Jiang Yu was too lazy to play games here. Her focus was on getting what was rightfully hers and finding out the truth she knew.
"I don't know anything about safety locks."
Pretend you're busy, claim you have other things to do, and try to end the conversation as soon as possible.
"If you don't hand over the amulet I've worn since I was a child, I'll send you in with me so you can reunite with your biological father."
Jiang Yu is decisive and always keeps her word.
"Your amulet is something you've worn since you were little, how would I know? Why don't you go back to Jiang Village and ask Jiang Dalong? He's been a tyrant since he was a child, protected by his parents, and he's kept so many things from him."
I've lost so many things too.
Jiang Meier tried her best to explain, but the other party didn't believe her at all. Her and Jiang Dalong's reactions to the question about the safety lock were obvious to anyone with eyes to see.
"Then let's go to the police station and talk."
After saying that, Jiang Yu was about to pull her away. At this moment, people who heard the commotion rushed over to see what was going on. They saw that President Jiang was pulling and tugging at a junior employee, looking very angry, and they were all confused.
"Let me go. Don't try to cause trouble for me and kick me out just to prevent me from exposing your dirty secrets. No way."
As more and more people gathered, Jiang Meier simply stopped pretending and started shouting at the top of her lungs.
"Jiang Yu, as the eldest daughter, you run away when trouble comes to your family, showing no responsibility whatsoever. Not only that, but you even try to kill your own sister who comes to work here. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Her voice filled the workshop, and if you listened carefully, you could hear an echo.
Although the workers around didn't dare to come forward and discuss it, you could hear the gossip in their voices.
"Jiang Meier is President Jiang's younger sister? No wonder she was able to replace Sister Liu."
"Having power makes all the difference. You can make whoever you want leave go, and whoever you want stay stay. This Jiang Meier is no pushover either. She clearly got her position by relying on her own sister, and now she's trying to turn the tables on me. What an ingrate."
Hearing this, Jiang Meier panicked. She looked towards the source of the sound, but there were too many people, and she couldn't tell who was speaking, so she could only shout.
“I wasn’t recruited by her. Knowing her nature, she’d rather I died out there. You know nothing, yet you dare to talk nonsense.”
"If it wasn't General Manager Jiang who recruited her, then why did Sister Liu leave when she was doing so well at the factory? Who else but those above her have the ability to make such a decision?"
The woman who stood up for Liu was on good terms with her. When she was fired, she wanted to get to the top to find out what was going on, but she was stopped. Now that she had the chance, she naturally didn't want to let it go.
Su Yujing, who had just arrived, overheard their conversation. He couldn't understand how a simple issue about a job could escalate to such a point of public outrage.
"You, Jiang Yu, appear upright and honest on the surface, yet you're engaging in such underhanded tactics behind people's backs. You're so devoted to your poor relatives that you don't even care about the lives of others."
Sister Liu was known throughout the factory as an honest and efficient worker. She also had a paralyzed husband and a child in school. What you're doing is no different from murder!
Su Jinshi rushed into the crowd, disregarding her usual image, and like a shrew, berated Jiang Yu.
Seeing that everyone had opinions about her, Jiang Meier rolled her eyes and thought that since that was the case, she might as well take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
"Sister, if I had known that you would cause an excellent employee to resign because of me, I wouldn't have come."
For the sake of the show's effect, she even sat on the ground and pretended to be regretful.
"Then you can leave. Go to HR to pick up your resignation letter later, and tell them to try to contact Sister Liu and ask if she'd like to come back. I'll cover all the losses."
Seeing Jiang Meier's affected manner, Jiang Yu smiled and granted her wish.
