I couldn’t have imagined you’d stab me in the back!” “Zhuang Rao, what nonsense are you talking about? Come with me, let’s discuss this privately!” Jiang Shuyan tried to pull her aside but was abruptly pushed away. “Aren’t you the one who said you regretted our friendship and wanted to sever ties? What is there left to talk about privately?” “Are you so sure that I wouldn’t say anything to Madam Jiang, so now you’re pushing all the blame onto me?” “Madam Jiang, about the hospital incident, I admit, it was my doing. I was wrong, I apologize to the Tang Family, and I troubled you as well. I accept my fault!” Zhuang Rao was always straightforward with her intentions, be they good or bad. She despised evil and often acted foolishly, making her susceptible to manipulation. If she felt betrayed, her retaliation could be formidable. “But, Madam, there is something you might not know. Everything I planned to do, Jiang Shuyan knew all about it, including my intention to make things difficult for Miss Tang during the auction. I had told her in advance.” “I did not like Miss Tang, found her pretentious, and Jiang Shuyan kept advising me, telling me I was wrong.” “But upon reflection, I don’t even know Miss Tang personally. Why should I target her? From the beginning, it was she who incited trouble in front of me and then played the good person, advising me to calm things down!” “She plays the saint, but now am I the villain, both inside and out?” Suddenly, Jiang Shuyan locked eyes with Jiang Jinsang. Her spine stiffened and a chill climbed up, enveloping her whole being. “And about the hospital, she knew all about it long ago, heh—” “If she really wanted to stop me, what the hell took so long? Come on, go straight to the Jiang Family and report me, go tell the Tang Family about me!” “Now that everything has come to light, you have washed your hands clean of it. Am I the shameless one? I think you are the one who is selfish and malicious!” Jiang Shuyan rarely faced setbacks in her life and trembled with anger. “Nonsense, Grandmother, don’t listen to her!” “I’m not lying...” Zhuang Rao didn’t finish her sentence when “smack—” A slap flew across her face, stunning her. “Say one more word of nonsense,” Jiang Shuyan’s eyes seemed suddenly venomous, fixating on her with a full warning. Zhuang Rao, who had known her for so long, always thought of her as gentle and delicate. Suddenly seeing this ferocious side of her, Zhuang Rao was frightened and took a while to recover. “Zhuang Rao, if you have proof, show it; otherwise, stop slandering!” “I...” Just as Zhuang Rao was about to speak, unexpectedly, she was slapped again from the other side, blinding her briefly and making her head spin. “This slap is on behalf of Miss Tang. You’ve done wrong and still dare to slander me?” ... Tang Wan and Jiang Shuyan had only met four or five times, and Tang Wan had never seen her so formidable. She glanced at Jiang Jinsang, slightly surprised. He, however, sat there unfazed and unmoved, as if everything was within his expectations. “Shuyan...” Zhuang Rao was truly dumbfounded, “you, you really...” Jiang Shuyan remained silent, just staring at her, signaling her not to talk recklessly. But Zhuang Rao completely misunderstood the situation. At this moment, betrayed by her friend and slapped, her heart was already dead, burning with rage, and she no longer cared about appearance or family. She charged over, pushing and shoving Jiang Shuyan, aiming a slap! But in her frantic state, trembling, her hand also shaking, she missed. However, her nails scratched across Jiang Shuyan’s face, slashing from the lower jaw and drawing two lines of blood. “Hisss—” Jiang Shuyan inhaled painfully, aware that her face was marred and feeling both angry and annoyed. When she was about to hit again, the old lady immediately raised her hand and threw the bowl of chicken soup she was holding onto the floor! ... At this moment, at the second-floor corner, Jiangjiang was leaning over the staircase landing. After watching for a while, he sluggishly dragged his slippers and ran upstairs to call Jiang Yanting. “Why are you calling me at this time? Woke up?” Jiangjiang didn’t have a cram school today and had slept in. “Cousin got beaten up, it’s really scary.” “What happened?” “I don’t know, great-grandma is very angry, and I don’t dare to go downstairs.” “Isn’t grandma at home? Didn’t she intervene?” “Grandma is home, and so are my second uncle and second aunt.” “Your second uncle is at home?” Jiang Yanting knew that Jiang Jinsang was supposed to go for a medical check-up today, and logically, he should not have been back so quickly. He thought it through and figured that surely he was causing trouble for Jiang Shuyan. “Stay upstairs, don’t go down. This is adult business; don’t get involved.” “I know.” ** The old lady smashed a porcelain bowl, shattering it on the ground. “Do you all think I am dead!” she reprimanded loudly, displaying a rare anger. Jiang Shuyan was frightened at the bottom of her heart and quickly stopped herself, but Zhuang Rao wouldn’t. She raised her hand and managed to slap Shuyan back, shaking with anger. “Enough!” the old lady lifted her cane and walked toward them, “You think this isn’t humiliating enough!” “Grandma...” Jiang Shuyan slightly raised her hand, touched her jaw, and wiped a hand of blood, immediately becoming furious. “Shut up!” the old lady snapped harshly, scaring Shuyan so much that she trembled. Even Zhuang Rao started trembling immediately after. “Zhuang Rao, were all those things you said true?” Zhuang Rao knew that if Jiang Shuyan stubbornly denied everything or failed to blame her, she would have to take all the blame herself! Originally, she felt that it was her own fault and deserved whatever blame the Tang Family might assign, but now it was different. She knew Jiang Shuyan had a hand in the whole affair, so why should she willingly take the blame? With a “thump,” she immediately knelt before the old lady. “Mrs. Jiang, everything I said is absolutely true. If I spoke a single false word, may lightning strike me, and may I die a horrible death!” Jiang Shuyan clenched her fists tightly, trembling with rage. “Shuyan, is there anything you want to say...” the old lady looked towards Jiang Shuyan, whose face was scratched and hair disheveled, far from the usual picture of a delicate lady. “Grandma, do you believe what she said?” “Don’t ask me whether I believe it or not, I’m asking you, did you or did you not!” the old lady had no patience for beating around the bush. “No!” she said with certainty. Jiang Shuyan knew Zhuang Rao well — too foolish, definitely not clever enough to leave any evidence, so she was not afraid. Jiang Jinsang seemed to have predicted her response and said lightly, “Cousin, are you sure nothing has to do with you?” Jiang Shuyan felt a chill pierce her heart because of his words. What did he mean? What was he trying to do? Later, she realized that Jiang Jinsang probably wanted her ruined; what he wanted... was her life!
