Not to mention Chen Xiang, even Sophie was a little shocked by this reaction.

Jiang An had always been easy to talk to. They had known each other for a long time and knew each other well. Sophie thought that she was gentle but tenacious. She was a classic Asian beauty.

But today, she seemed to be covered in thorns.

Jiang An was indeed very easy-going when she attended the banquet. She felt that she only needed to support Sophie.

However, everything that had happened since she stepped into this place had crossed her bottom line.

Sophie was dragged out to be mocked. The people in Sea City let their families come and provoke her. Obviously, they didn’t take them seriously.

Not only was she Jiang An now, but she was also the heir of the Jiang family. She represented the entire Jiang family outside.

If she tolerated these people being impudent to her, she would be throwing the Jiang family’s face on the ground.

She was doted on by her parents and brothers. No matter what, she could not let these people think that the Jiang family could be bullied as they pleased.

Chen Xiang knew that she couldn’t fight Jiang An head-on now. She smiled and said, “I didn’t know about this. In that case, it’s all my fault for being nosy. Miss Jiang, please forgive me.”

She bent down slightly and lowered her posture, feeling that Jiang An should be satisfied.

“Miss Chen is really flexible. Only a fool couldn’t tell what you meant by what you said just now. Now, you still want to pretend that nothing happened.” Jiang An sneered. “I don’t care what you want to do today. It’s not your place to interfere in Wu Xue’s matter.”

Jiang An wanted to seek justice for the dead girl. Anyone who wanted to ruin this matter was no different from a criminal to her.

Chen Xiang turned around and walked to the back. She almost couldn’t maintain her smile. She didn’t expect Jiang An to not give in at all. The information clearly said that she was a weak person.

What was even more infuriating was that the aura Jiang An emitted when she was angry was exactly the same as Zou Bai’s.

This meant that the two of them were very close. Only people who loved each other would be like each other. When Chen Xiang thought about this, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She forcefully suppressed the dark thoughts in her heart. Now was not the time to attack.

Jiang An didn’t care about Chen Xiang, who had left. She was dealing with Wu Xue now.

She realized that Jiang An’s gaze was on her. She shivered and hid behind her mother, hoping that this would give her some sense of security.

Wu Xue’s mother subconsciously hugged the child in her arms, but she quickly remembered what Wu Xue had said previously. For a moment, she did not know if she should protect her child or immediately push her out.

“Wu Xue killed that girl. She has to pay the price.” Jiang An’s tone was gentle. “If she doesn’t want to atone for her sins, I’ll help her.”

Wu Xue’s father took two steps forward. “It’s indeed because our family didn’t educate our child well that such a tragic disaster happened. Our Wu family is willing to compensate, and Wu Xue will turn herself in.”

He said it so easily that Wu Xue fell into despair after hearing it. She said in disbelief, “Dad, how can you say such a thing? You should help me get rid of this matter. Ever since I was young, no matter what I did wrong, you could help me settle it in the end. Why can’t you do it this time?”

Faced with the child’s question, Wu Xue’s father closed his eyes and refused to answer.

Even though Wu Xue’s mother was angry at her daughter’s words just now, she could not bear to be ruthless. She grabbed her husband’s clothes and said, “Hubby, if you really let Xiao Xue turn herself in, her life will be over. You can’t do this!”

Of course, Wu Xue’s father did not want to do this either. However, if they did not abandon Wu Xue, the Wu family would offend the Jiang family. This was something they could not afford.

He stood on the spot and cried silently, repenting for not being able to raise his child well. If he had not doted on Wu Xue from the beginning, such a thing would not have happened.

The family of three cried together. It made one’s heart ache. After all, these tears came from the bottom of their hearts.

However, Jiang An only felt disgusted. The belated regret was not real regret at all. This matter had hurt themselves and was the only reason they felt pain.

If they were given a chance to return to the past, they would definitely choose to do the same. They would just hide this matter better.

Wu Xue could still cry and beg for mercy here. That girl’s life had long ended.

After a few minutes, Jiang An said, “I don’t have the patience to listen to you guys cry anymore. I’ll get the people from my brother’s law firm to take responsibility for this matter. There’s no need for you to be conflicted about whether to turn yourselves in. I’ve already called the police. The police will be here soon.”

Wu Xue’s parents were stunned on the spot. They had lost all initiative..
