Chapter 368 - 240 Father and Son Fall Out, Fifth Master Schemes for People’s Hearts (3 updates)_2

    <h4>Chapter 368: 240 Father and Son Fall Out, Fifth Master Schemes for People’s Hearts (3 updates)_2</h4><h4></h4>


    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 seeded, she wouldn’t be seen here today."


    "Because I called the police on Shuyan before and caught her, pped your face, and humiliated you, you retaliate against me like this?"


    "He has always been one to hold grudges."


    "You are my uncle..."


    "After all, we are not that closely rted as uncles." This statement was quite true; their grandfathers were brothers, but by their generation, the blood rtion had thinned.


    ...


    The two brothers, ying off each other, one feigning ignorance and the other fanning the mes, 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 home all 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 apuding 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 rtionship with your sister falls apart, wouldn’t you have some thoughts 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 rtionship with you."


    "If this n seeds, 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’sst bit of scheming. He wasn’t someone who acted rashly; if he did make a move, it would be carefully calcted.


    Xie Jing hadn’t even thought that far. He simply wanted to vent his anger on the Tang Family,pletely unaware that the situation could develop in this direction. After hearing Jiang Chengsi’s words, he went pale...


    If this n seeded, 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 youpassion for the loss of your son, and let you off lightly."


    "The depth of your schemes is truly admirable!"


    In Jiang Chengsi’sst few sentences, he had stripped away thest 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... inly showed his deep hatred.


    Jiang Chengsi, for his part, appeared nonchnt, 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.


    **


    The entire Jiang Family living room was steeped in gloom.


    At first nce, 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 re disdainfully at Xie Jing, "You say I 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 I can provide the location where we met and some messages of ourmunication. You just need to investigate, and you’ll surely find some clues!"


    "What a joke! So, you’re saying that everything you’ve talked about until now ispletely 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 hisndmines, Jiang Zhaolin was veryposed in public!


    That sudden outburst had been an ident.


    "When and where we met, I 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 remainpletely undisturbed.


    Compared to usual, there were definitely some slips in hisposure.


    "I’m not spouting nonsense. Otherwise, why would I go to Pingjiang? I’ve never been smart; how could Ie up with something like this? If I were that clever, how could the Xie Family have driven me out so easily..."


    Tang Wan couldn’t help butugh and cry at his stupidity; in order to clear his name, he could even brazenly im to be brainless!


    "How would I know who instructed you to dare to nder me?" Jiang Zhaolin red furiously at him, "I’ve never had any grievances or private rtions with you. Youe out of nowhere to defame me; what on earth are you trying to do?"


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


    "I didn’t, you’re the one who told me to do it."


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


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


    ...


    Both sidescked evidence, and the argument was at a stalemate.


    Tang Wan knew that all of this was nothing more than a trap set up by the brothers of the Jiang Family for Jiang Zhaolin. So, she tugged at Jiang Jinsang’s sleeve and, leaning close to his ear, whispered in a low voice, "Xiaowu, do you really have any evidence?"


    Jiang Jinsang shook his head.


    Tang Wan was bewildered. No evidence?


    Then this wouldn’t be able to pin the crime on Jiang Zhaolin. On the day they captured Xie Jing, he had confessed to everything. Tang Wan was somewhat confused at that time; she didn’t think she had enemies who would want to harm her like this.


    When Jiang Zhaolin’s name popped 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."


    Jiang Zhaolin was very cautious in his dealings. Finding his faults was too difficult. He wasn’t like Xie Jing, who left behind a trail of evidence for others to find. If he was so easily brought down, he wouldn’t be Jiang Zhaolin.


    "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 olddy.
