261 Offended a Lot of People

The Jiang family’s bankruptcy was known to everyone in Rong City. The past few days, Jiang Xue, who had always been ostentatious in school, had either been hiding at home or running to the Xiang family to make a scene.

Jiang Lun had no choice but to lock Jiang Xue up at home. After all, he had promised Xiang Tian that he would draw a clear boundary with the Xiang family after getting the money.

Besides, Jiang Lun didn’t have much time to deal with Jiang Xue. Even if they got the 100 million from the Xiang family, they still couldn’t fill the

Jiang family’s hole.

Jiang Lun really hadn’t expected that Meng Yu would be so ruthless. He thought that it would be good if they went bankrupt. With the 100 million from the Xiang family used to pay off their debts, they would still have 50 million left. In the end, after Meng Yu’s manipulation, there was not much left.

“Meng Yu, why must you be so vicious?” Jiang Lun immediately asked after finally getting through to Meng Yu on the phone.

At the other end of the phone, Meng Yu said lightly, “President Jiang, you can’t blame me for your Jiang family’s current situation. I only wanted to teach you a little lesson, but who would’ve thought that your Jiang family had offended too many people? I haven’t even done anything and you’re already going bankrupt.”

Meng Yu’s words made Jiang Lun frown. Meng Yu hadn’t even made a move, and the Jiang family had gone bankrupt? What was going on?

“President Meng, what do you mean by this?” Jiang Lun asked in confusion.

Meng Yu kindly explained, “You’d better think about who your Jiang family has offended. It wasn’t my doing that your previous big projects suddenly went bankrupt. I only did something when your Jiang family was on the verge of bankruptcy, so that you would be in debt. You’re really lucky this time. I haven’t had enough fun yet.”

After Jiang Lun ended the call with Meng Yu, he sat in a daze. He cracked his head but was unable to think of whom he had offended.

At this moment, Jiang Xue pounded on the door of the room again and shouted, “Let me out! I want to look for Brother Cheng! I’m Brother Cheng’s fiancée! Dad, Mom, let me out. I want to look for Brother Cheng!”

Xia Chun stood at the door, wiping her tears. Jiang Lun couldn’t take it anymore. He rushed out of the study, opened Jiang Xue’s door, and slapped the hysterical Jiang Xue. “Are you done?”

Jiang Xue fell to the ground. Xia Chun quickly went up to comfort her daughter.

Jiang Lun said to Jiang Xue, “If we didn’t stand up for you, we wouldn’t have accidentally provoked that lunatic Meng Yu. Tell me the truth, did you offend anyone else?”

Jiang Xue covered her face and cried pitifully, “I didn’t. I really didn’t offend anyone.”

Jiang Lun snorted coldly and scolded Jiang Xue, “Jinx!”

With that, Jiang Lun locked himself in his study once more and continued to think of ways to save the Jiang family.

Xia Chun could only use words to comfort Jiang Xue, but she was also blaming Jiang Xue inside. Xia Chun was not used to the sudden bankruptcy after being used to a comfortable life. She had not eaten bird’s nest for a few days.

“Madam, it’s time to provide the food expenses. There’s nothing much left in the refrigerator.” Mama Lin, who had been observing for a long time, walked up and said carefully to Xia Chun.

As the nanny, Mama Lin naturally knew about the family situation. Originally, she had wanted to resign herself, but the month was not over yet. It was impossible for Xia Chun to let her go, so she could only continue working.

“I know. What are you rushing me for? Go down first, I’ll give it to you later!” Xia Chun glared at Mama Lin and said in an unfriendly tone.

Mama Lin turned around scornfully, thinking to herself that Xia Chun was already bankrupt, so what was there to be so haughty about?

Seeing Mama Lin go downstairs, Xia Chun heaved a deep sigh. She thought of the jewelry she still had in her room. She would ask someone to pawn them in the evening, so that she could still lead a decent life for a while.

“Mother, can you let me out? Brother Cheng and I are already engaged. He won’t just stand by and watch our Jiang family be destroyed,” Jiang Xue begged as she held Xia Chun’s hand.

Xia Chun couldn’t bear to tell Jiang Xue that her father had already accepted the Xiang family’s money at the cost of breaking off the engagement.

“Xue, the family is already in this state. Can you just stay in the room quietly? Don’t cause any more trouble for Dad and Mom.” Xia Chun asked helplessly.

However, Jiang Xue obviously didn’t want to accept her fate. She still held expectations for Xiang Cheng and the Xiang family.
