“I know what happened!” A second after s.h.i.+ Yao’s voice sounded, a freshly bathed and neatly-dressed Jiang Yue walked out from the bedroom. “Miss Liang took Yaoyao’s phone and called Han Jing. She told him that Yaoyao was drunk and asked him to come over to take care of her. But Han Jing felt that it wouldn’t be appropriate for a man like him to spend the night in the same room with Yaoyao, so he messaged me asking that I quickly head over instead…”
As Jiang Yue spoke, she took out her phone and placed it on the table.
Reflected on the screen was the conversation between Jiang Yue and Han Jing.
Jiang Yue gave some time for Jiang w.a.n.gui to finish reading through the messages on the phone before continuing, “It’s fortunate that Han Jing is a gentleman and told me to come over. Otherwise, if he turned out to be a piece of sc.u.m, then considering how drunk Yaoyao had been after taking a few sips of alcohol last night…”
Jiang Yue intentionally emphasized the words ‘drunk’ and ‘after taking a few sips of alcohol’ before continuing, “… If Yaoyao spent the night in the same room with another man, wouldn’t her reputation be ruined?”
Hearing the crux of Jiang Yue’s message, Lin Jiayi immediately directed a sharp glare toward Liang Mumu, “How could Yaoyao possibly get so drunk after just a few sips of wine? You didn’t slip something into her drink, did you?”
Not expecting things to develop in such a way, Liang Mumu hurriedly shook her head in horror and explained, “N-no, I didn’t! I didn’t do anything to Yaoyao’s wine—”
“So, you’re admitting that you brought Yaoyao out for a drink last night. From this, can I conclude that you’ve been lying to us all along?” Jiang w.a.n.gui interjected. Her words were still as sharp as ever, striking the main point right on the spot.
Liang Mumu didn’t think that she’d unintentionally expose herself like that. She opened her mouth, wanting to argue her way out of this, but she couldn’t think of anything that could vindicate herself.
Jiang w.a.n.gui seemed to conclude that she no longer needed to waste her time here, so she picked up her bag and stood up, “Alright, I have a client at ten. I’ll be leaving first.”
Lin Jiayi also rose to her feet as well, and naturally, she didn’t forget to bring s.h.i.+ Yao away with her, “Yaoyao, let’s go. I’ll take you to your school.”
When Jiang w.a.n.gui walked by Liang Mumu, Liang Mumu couldn’t help calling out pitifully, “Auntie Lin…”
Jiang w.a.n.gui paused her footsteps. She glanced down at her heels for a moment before turning around to face Liang Mumu. “You’re a very smart person, but it’s a pity that you chose to use your wits on something so trivial that you have turned your intelligence into foolishness.
“Putting aside the fact that your little scheme didn’t succeed today, even if it did and Yaoyao was no longer recognized as Jiage’s fiancée, do you think that you’d have a chance to get close to him?
“If that’s what you thought, I’ll make it clear to you right here and now that you are deeply mistaken!
“Have you ever heard of the saying ‘the dishonor of a family must never reach the ears of outsiders’? Our Lin Family would be the ones embarra.s.sed by this matter, so do you think that I would allow a person who knows of that dishonor to remain in Beijing?
“There’s no way I would permit you to appear in the vicinity of our Lin Family. Not only would I send Yaoyao away, I would send you out of Beijing as well!”
…
After parting with Jiang w.a.n.gui and Lin Jiayi, Jiang Yue immediately exclaimed in awe, “Yaoyao, was that Lin Jiage’s mother? She’s like a domineering female CEO! What she said to Liang Mumu at the end was so cool!”
s.h.i.+ Yao didn’t respond to Jiang Yue’s words, but Jiang Yue continued to express her admiration for Jiang w.a.n.gui and Lin Jiayi.
