Chapter 368: 240 Father and Son Fall Out, Fifth Master Schemes for People’s Hearts (3 updates) 2

Jiang Jinsang sneered lightly, "He had no grudges against Wanwan, but Shuyan once took a fall and even fled

abroad for refuge, not returning even for the New Year. I'm afraid Uncle has been harboring resentment over this

matter..."

Jiang Chengsi chimed in, "My younger sister's reputation was ruined, and our families’ alliance would be

inevitably tainted. That's why I said, if it had succeeded, she wouldn't be seen here today."

"Because | called the police on Shuyan before and caught her, slapped your face, and humiliated you, you

retaliate againstlike this?"

"He has always been one to hold grudges."

"You are my uncle..."

"After all, we are not that closely related as uncles." This statement was quite true; their grandfathers were

brothers, but by their generation, the blood relation had thinned.

The two brothers, playing off each other, one feigning ignorance and the other fanning the flames, thoroughly

enraged Jiang Zhaolin. They were clearly mocking him, and he was trembling with anger.

But before he could erupt, Jiang Yanting asked with a cold face, "Then why must he seek out Xie Jing?"

"Do you two brothers really think you're so innocent and naive! Can't you see the logic in this?" Jiang Chengsi

scoffed, "One of you stays at hall day, oblivious to the dangers of the world, while the other sits in the

office, unaware of the hardships of dealing with people."

Tang Wan was wide-eyed and speechless...

She really felt like applauding someone at this moment. She had seen many blindly tell lies, but Jiang Chengsi,

who painted such a vivid picture and spoke with seeming depth of concern, was a first!

His college major must not have been acting.

"Lately haven't you been getting along famously with that aunt from the Xie Family? If this incident with Xie Jing

gets exposed, even if he’s been abandoned by the Xie Family, he still bears the Xie surname..."

"Because of him, if Xiaowu'’s relationship with your sister falls apart, wouldn't you have sthoughts about it?

Probably that aunt from the Xie Family would feel sorry for you, unable to face Xiaowu, and possibly unable to

maintain a happy relationship with you."

"If this plan succeeds, those hurt will not only be your sister or Xiaowu, it will also affect you..."

"Now you understand why he would seek out Xie Jing!"

With these words, Jiang Chengsi had poked through Jiang Zhaolin’s last bit of scheming. He wasn’t someone who

acted rashly; if he did make a move, it would be carefully calculated.

Xie Jing hadn't even thought that far. He simply wanted to vent his anger on the Tang Family, completely

unaware that the situation could develop in this direction. After hearing Jiang Chengsi’s words, he went pale...

If this plan succeeded, he would truly be beyond redemption.

Jiang Zhaolin had never imagined that the person stabbing him in the back, trampling over him, would be his

own son, who was staring intently at him...

"You know that with Xiaowu holding Xie Jing, given his temperament, a resolution is required for this matter. So

you simply took the initiative, pushing out the elder brother..."

"It's nothing more than wanting to soften grandmother's heart so that even if the final verdict on this matter falls

on you, he could still consider your older brother's feelings, show you compassion for the loss of your son, and

let you off lightly."

"The depth of your schemes is truly admirable!"

In Jiang Chengsi’s last few sentences, he had stripped away the last bit of pretense.

Father and son, eyes locked, seemed to spark with fire, as if a single spark could ignite a raging wildfire.

Jiang Zhaolin’s gaze... plainly showed his deep hatred.

Jiang Chengsi, for his part, appeared nonchalant, smiling proudly in the face of confrontation!

The tension in the air was suffocating, making Tang Wan nervously watch the two of them, wondering what deep

hatred could turn a father and son against each other like this.

ok

The entire Jiang Family living room was steeped in gloom.

At first glance, this matter seemed to be targeting Tang Wan, but pulling out the radish brought out the mud, and

upon closer inspection, it was not so simple.

Jiang Zhaolin took a deep breath, having immersed himself in business for many years and weathered many

storms. He turned his head to glare disdainfully at Xie Jing, "You say | ordered you, do you have any evidence?"

"If not, fabricating lies about me, do you know what the consequence will be?"

Xie Jing took a deep breath, "I indeed don’t have much evidence in my hands right now, but | can provide the

location where we met and smessages of our communication. You just need to investigate, and you'll surely

find sclues!"

"What a joke! So, you're saying that everything you've talked about until now is completely fabricated?" Jiang

Zhaolin interrupted him.

"If Uncle believes that everything is fake, that it's all made up, why so nervous? You even lost your temper just

now..." Jiang Jinsang sneered lightly, "You're not someone who gets angry easily."

Indeed, apart from Jiang Chengsi stepping on his landmines, Jiang Zhaolin was very composed in public!

That sudden outburst had been an accident.

"When and where we met, | still roughly remember. You just need to check his whereabouts on that day..."

This matter could even involve Jiang Yanting; Xie Jing certainly didn’t want to take the fall for it and naturally

would pin it all on Jiang Zhaolin.

"Pure hearsay! Utter nonsense!" Jiang Zhaolin, knowing he didn’t have evidence, felt somewhat relieved at heart.

But facing the rapid-fire bombardment from the young member of the Jiang Family, it was impossible to remain

completely undisturbed.

Compared to usual, there were definitely sslips in his composure.

"I'm not spouting nonsense. Otherwise, why would | go to Pingjiang? I've never been smart; how could | cup

with something like this? If | were that clever, how could the Xie Family have drivenout so easily..."

Tang Wan couldn't help but laugh and cry at his stupidity; in order to clear his name, he could even brazenly

claim to be brainless!

"How would | know who instructed you to dare to slander me?" Jiang Zhaolin glared furiously at him, "I've never

had any grievances or private relations with you. You cout of nowhere to defme; what on earth are you

trying to do?"

"Your own scandalous actions have been exposed, and yet you want to push the blonto someone else?"

"I didn’t, you're the one who toldto do it."

"Ridiculous to the extreme. Why would | ever stoop to consorting with an idiot like you."

"I really am dumb, that’s why you could take advantage of me."

Both sides lacked evidence, and the argument was at a stalemate.

Tang Wan knew that all of this was

When Jiang Zhaolin’s npopped up, she was even more stunned, since they had rarely even met. Why would

he suddenly act against her?

She thought that Jiang Jinsang was making such a big fuss, he must have solid evidence. Otherwise, how

embarrassing this scene would be, and how would they end it!

"You're crazy, without evidence, you still..."

"Whether there is evidence or not doesn’t matter."

"You haven't had much contact with them, so you may not understand his temperament and nature, but many

things he did today were quite abnormal."

"Even without evidence, as long as one is a bit insightful, they can see the signs."

"The most important thing is..." Jiang Jinsang sneered lightly, lifting his hand to point Tang Wan in a direction,

"what she thinks."

Tang Wan followed the direction of his finger...

There was the elderly matriarch of the Jiang Family!

What Jiang Jinsang was scheming wasn’t really aimed at Jiang Zhaolin, but the heart of the old lady.
