Jiang Yilai had already seen through her character, so how could she be fooled by her words? She grabbed the water glass on the table and glared fiercely at Mei Yin.
"Spare you? I'll show you today that I'm someone you can't afford to mess with."
After saying that, she raised the cup to smash it, but was stopped by the person who rushed in from outside the door and angrily scolded her.
"Stop, Jiang Yilai, what are you doing? You really have some nerve to treat my granddaughter like this."
The person who rushed in was Old Madam Gu. Supported by Gu Nianqiang, she quickly stepped forward, angrily helped Mei Yin up from the ground, and looked at Jiang Yilai with eyes that seemed to want to kill her.
Jiang Yilai was still a little confused. She had only grabbed the cup to scare Mei Yin.
Seeing that Myne showed no remorse, he was so angry that he wanted to teach her a lesson, but he didn't actually lay a hand on her.
Jiang Yilai wanted to explain, but in this situation, she was utterly unable to defend herself; she couldn't clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
When Grandma Gu saw the red marks on both sides of her beloved granddaughter's face, she was furious and cursed, "What a great lawyer! How dare he hit my granddaughter! I will never forgive him!"
Gu Nianqiang was secretly delighted and gave Mei Yin an admiring look. Sure enough, Mei Yin was more capable than her in these aspects, and could force Jiang Yilai to take action in no time.
They had planned the timing precisely so that Gu Nianqiang would bring Grandma Gu over. On the way, she was worried that Mei Yin wouldn't perform well, but she really did manage to time it perfectly.
Mei Yin cried, feeling wronged: "Grandma, don't be angry. It's not Miss Jiang's fault. I accidentally angered her. We shouldn't have wronged her. It's only right that you hit me."
After hearing all this, Jiang Yilai finally understood. Mei Yin hadn't come to apologize at all; she had deliberately come to escalate the conflict.
Jiang Yilai simply didn't understand why Gu's family would make things difficult for her when she had no connection with them whatsoever.
Even if she had some grudges with Gu Nianqiang because of Fu Nanxiao, what did that have to do with her?
Moreover, what good would it do them to get themselves into conflict with the Gu family?
Grandma Gu became even angrier after hearing this, and patted her hand to comfort her, saying, "Yinyin, don't be afraid, Grandma will stand up for you."
After saying that, she turned around and walked up to Jiang Yilai, angrily saying, "Just because she misunderstood you, you hit her?"
Jiang Yilai felt a surge of resentment, and seeing the hateful look in Old Madam Gu's eyes, she felt an indescribable discomfort.
She had said long ago that she didn't want to be enemies with the Gu family, which is why she forgave Mei Yin.
But the Gu family is too arrogant, how could she let them bully her right at her doorstep?
"The old lady doesn't understand the situation. It's not what you see at all. It was your granddaughter who provoked me, so I took action."
"No matter the reason, it's wrong of you to hit someone. I'll take her to get a medical examination, and you can expect to receive a lawyer's letter."
"If the old lady insists on doing this, then I have no choice but to play along."
"I want to see just how arrogant you can be. I also want you to know what the consequences will be for going against the Gu family here. I'm going to make you get out of here."
Jiang Yilai looked at her in disbelief, and said disappointedly, "You're actually going to use your connections to deal with me over these things?"
Grandma Gu stepped forward, her anger palpable, her wrinkled hands clenched tightly, as if she were about to strike.
"I just want you to know that I'm a family person, and you shouldn't mess with me."
