Chapter 224: He Had Been Prepared To Face Their Criticism
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
[Logically speaking, Jiang Jixuan and Jiang Xun have the same father but different mothers. He should be on the side of his own mother and Jiang Yuexi. I didn’t expect him to stand up for Jiang Xun.]
[Does this mean that Jiang Xun’s character is so good that even her stepbrother has to stand up for her?]
[I feel that there’s still a chance for things to turn around. Let’s not jump to conclusions yet.]
Chengye Group.
The truth of the matter had yet to be decided.
However, the matter of Chengye cheating on his wife with Nianzhen, as well as Yuexi turning from an illegitimate daughter into the daughter of the Jiang family could be said to be a foregone conclusion.
There were voices of disdain for Chengye on the Internet, and even the stock price of Chengye Group fell along with it.
The company held a shareholders’ meeting at the last minute.
The shareholders questioned Chengye. “How do you plan to resolve this matter?”
Shareholder B: “It’s what your good son did! What family matters can’t be resolved privately! Why do you have to put it on the table? Does it look good?”
Shareholder C: “Your own family matters dragged the entire Chengye Group down with you. You have to resolve this matter properly!”
Nianzhen and Yuexi saw what Jixuan said on Weibo, and they were in a bad mood.
“Mom, is Jiang Jixuan crazy? !” Yuexi’s heart skipped a beat. “Even if he doesn’t help me, he can’t open up our wounds like this! How can I go out to meet people in the future?!”
Everyone knew that she was an illegitimate daughter. Who would look up to her!
Nianzhen was also in a bad mood. Her own son had identified her as a mistress.
“Go find him!” Nianzhen was about to go upstairs with Yuexi when she ran into Chengye, who had rushed into the door angrily.
“Where’s that unfilial son?” Chengye didn’t even bother to take off his shoes. He strode into the living room in his leather shoes, leaving footprints on the clean floor.
“He’s in his room. Yuexi and I are going to find him,” Nianzhen said as she grabbed Yuexi’s hand.
Chengye strode upstairs with an ashen face without saying a word.
Nianzhen grabbed Yuexi and followed behind him. Chengye pushed the door open and went in without even knocking.
Jixuan door wasn’t closed. Ever since he posted on Weibo, he had been prepared to face their criticism.
When Chengye and the other two were still downstairs, he heard the sound and stood up to wait.
Seeing Chengye and the other two enter in anger, Jixuan looked calm.
The more Chengye saw him like this, the angrier he became.
He pointed at Jixuan and said, “Tell me, what do you want to do? Why do you have to put it out there?”
“Even if I’m not the one who said it, others will say it,” Jixuan said calmly. “It’s better for me to say it so that some of the damage can be avoided.”
Jixuan had already thought of an excuse.
“If others say it, our family will all be villains. If I say it, then I’m still a good person. At least one of our family members will survive. We won’t all die,” Jixuan said. “The public opinion won’t be too bad for me. When the time comes, I still have a chance to pull our family out of the whirlpool. It’s better for three people to die than four people to die.”
Chengye actually felt that what Jixuan said was somewhat reasonable.
Jixuan’s reputation in the public opinion was indeed good.
The netizens pitied Jixuan, and they did not hate Jixuan because of Nianzhen and Yuexi.
Jixuan was innocent. If Chengye wanted to get out of this predicament, he might really have to rely on Jixuan.
“Anyone can say it, but you can’t!” Nianzhen did not care so much. She did not even believe what Jixuan said.
She felt that Jixuan was just trying to help Jiang Xun.
“I’m your real sister!” Yuexi was so angry that she didn’t know how to vent it. “When you helped Jiang Xun, did you think of me?”
“Don’t think that I don’t know who did this.” Jixuan looked at Yuexi coldly.
“What do you mean?” Yuexi was flustered for a moment.
“You know what I mean.”
“Are you suspecting me?” Yuexi subconsciously took half a step back.
Seeing Chengye’s suspicious gaze, Yuexi felt more guilty and her face turned pale.
“Who could know Jiang Xun’s situation so clearly?” Jixuan sneered, “Of course, it’s only our family members. But Dad, Mom and I know that if we say this out loud, we will eventually implicate ourselves. Moreover, Jiang Xun is earning her own money outside, so it’s non of our business.”
