The door of the room suddenly opened. Xu Li looked at Jiang Chun angrily. “Who are you trying to kill?”
“Wen Nian! I want her to die!” Jiang Chun was still in a fit of anger. At first, she didn’t understand what was going on, but when she saw Xu Li, she calmed down and called out dryly, “Mom.”
Just as Jiang Ning was about to speak, Xu Li said, “Jiang Ning, I have something to discuss with Jiang Chun.”
Jiang Ning was a little nervous, but she still nodded and left quickly. For some reason, she had been afraid of Xu Li since she was young. Even her family was afraid of her.
Xu Li watched Jiang Ning leave coldly. Then, she looked at Jiang Chun angrily and scolded, “Idiot!”
“Mom!” Jiang Chun felt a little aggrieved. “I was already fully prepared. I would definitely be able to end Wen Nian’s career, but…”
Xu Li interrupted her impatiently. “But what? But you didn’t give the other party enough money and they betrayed you. But you shouldn’t have let the Wei family interfere. You’re harming yourself.”
She sat on the sofa tiredly and looked at her beautiful daughter in front of her. Her heart softened again. “Wei Xiao isn’t a good person. He’s still young now. In time, he’ll be the second Jiang Wei. Why do you think he helped you?”
“Isn’t he just backing the Jiang family?” Jiang Chun did not dare to admit what she was thinking and said stubbornly.
Xu Li shook her head. “Looks like you’ve thought of it too. Do you want to marry him?”
“That’s impossible!” Jiang Chun’s eyes widened. “I’m just using him. I’m the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. How can I marry him? He’s nothing!”
“Do you think you can control it?” Xu Li said helplessly. “If he dares to go against the Shen family, he’s obviously on our side. It’s impossible for him to marry Jiang Ning. Do you think he’ll let you off?”
Jiang Chun sat at the side in a daze. It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought of this, but she felt that Wei Xiao wouldn’t succeed. After all, it was impossible for Jiang Wei to casually marry off his daughter. Moreover, she had the Xu family as her backer.
Xu Li couldn’t bear to see her like this either. In the end, she comforted her. “Fortunately, the Yang family has also interfered. Her family is one of the Shen family’s most important supporters. After all, Wen Nian isn’t a member of the Shen family yet. There’s plenty of time to argue now. You really should not interfere anymore. You can’t be implicated in this matter. If you still want to be a socialite in the capital and continue to be above everyone else, you have to endure it.”
Jiang Chun looked up with moist eyes and asked, “Then how long do I have to endure it? Do I have to endure it until Wen Nian and Shen Jun get married?”
Seeing how stubborn she was, Xu Li decided to tell her the truth. “Jiang Chun, I’m telling you now that it’s impossible between you and Shen Jun anymore.”
Jiang Chun looked incredulous, but Xu Li was no longer in the mood to comfort her. The situation in the capital was unpredictable. Now that Zhao Kai had joined the corporation, there were some things that she had to know.
“You don’t have to look at me like that. From the moment you met Shen Jun, all of this was your father’s scheme.” Xu Li laughed self-deprecatingly. “Of course, perhaps he’s been plotting since he met me. I’m also a part of his scheme.”
“You’ve seen Zhao Kai. You don’t need to do a paternity test to know that he’s Jiang Wei’s son. Whether you’re willing to accept it or not, this is the truth. It’s my fault for not investigating properly and leaving such a huge trouble behind.”
Hearing her mother’s words, Jiang Chun was shocked at first, but she quickly recovered. She was not too surprised.
She had lived in this environment since she was young and knew what kind of person Jiang Wei was. Moreover, after seeing Zhao Kai, Jiang Chun was even more certain that he was Jiang Wei’s illegitimate son. Looking at Jiang Ning’s attitude towards him, what else could she not guess?
Xu Li continued, “You’re still thinking about how to scheme against Wen Nian. While you were playing house, Zhao Kai had already become the department manager of the Jiang Corporation.”
“That’s impossible! How can the Jiang Corporation let him in?” Jiang Chun panicked. She knew too well what a son of Jiang Wei meant. “Mom, you can’t let him in the company. It’s our family’s company. You can’t let him in.”
“But he’s already gone in, and Jiang Wei even brought him to see your grandfather.” As soon as Xu Li said this, Jiang Chun felt that she had no strength left.
Seeing her dejected look, Xu Li still said ruthlessly, “If you don’t grow up, you probably won’t even be the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. Stop placing your focus on Wen Nian and think about the future..”
