Chapter 479: Meeting VII
” Do you think I will make such accusations in front of everyone without having evidence in my hands?” Grandfather Jiang said.
A shiver went down Jiang Ru’s spine when Grandfather Jiang said those words to her. Her face turned pale and her hands that were resting on top of the glass table were now trembling in fear.
Her throat was feeling parched. She wanted to say something to protect herself but no words were coming out of her mouth.
Did....did he find out something against her?
While Jiang Ru was losing her control, Jiang Yahui was just as shocked as Jiang Ru. He looked at his daughter and pursed his lips in uneasiness.
‘Did father find out about the truth?’ He wondered.
Although he never wanted to kill Jiang Yue, when he heard about what Jiang Ru did, he didn’t have the heart to punish his girl. How can he do that?
.....
She only did that because she was only trying to protect what belongs to her.
It was the fault of his father who was trying to give all the opportunities to Jiang Yue and overlook Jiang Ru who has always wanted to take over that position.
Just as he always preferred his older brother over him, he was doing the same with Jiang Yue and Jiang Ru.
Even though Jiang Yue didn’t want to do anything with him and left the house as soon as she turned 18, he still wanted her to take charge of the company. Whereas he wasn’t even considering giving those opportunities to Jiang Ru.
Why? Just like Jiang Yue, she was equally capable and outstanding as well. She was the elder sister among the two yet he wanted to give all the power to the younger sister, Jiang Yue.
It was because of his biases and faults that Jiang Yue suffered such an unfortunate end. However, he will not let his father trample over his daughter.
He will protect her.
Jiang Ru only made a small mistake. Jiang Yue is already gone, what is the meaning of doing all of this anyway?

While Jiang Ru was having a mental breakdown, Jiang Yahui jumped into the conversation and held Grandfather Jiang’s hand and started massaging them to calm down his temper, ” Father, I think you have some kind of misunderstanding about Jiang Ru. If you’re angry at us about something, we can go to your chamber and discuss things in private.”
“There is no need to make a joke about our family in front of everyone.” Jiang Yahui tried to convince Grandfather Jiang to go somewhere in private to talk about it.
However, Grandfather Jiang wasn’t in the mood to listen to his hypocritical son’s words. He yanked his hand away and looked into his eyes coldly, “You knew about it, didn’t you?” He asked while looking at his son with an indifferent look in his eyes.
“Yes? What...are you talking about? I am not sure about it.” Jiang Yahui’s face also paled upon being confronted by the old man and smiled nervously.
However, when he looked at Jiang Ru who was sitting opposite him, he pursed his lips upon realizing that she wasn’t in good condition. Her face had turned pale and her hands were trembling in fear, meanwhile, she was drenched in sweat when there was air conditioning in the conference room.
He pursed his lips in a thin line and said, ” Alright, Father, If you want to kick me and Jiang Ru out of the company, then let it be as it is. Since you have already made the decision, we will not beg in front of you further as well. However, please stop saying ridiculous things.”
” You’re hurting Jiang Ru.” He said while looking at Jiang Ru worriedly. As long as Grandfather Jiang doesn’t say anything stupid in front of everyone, he was ready to accept the dismissal.
” Mr. Jiang Yahui, What are you doing? At least, allow Mr. Chairman to complete his words. We also want to know the truth.” One of the shareholders spoke.
“Mr. Chairman, what do you mean by the corrupt actions, and about whose murder were you talking?” Another person asked.
Grandfather Jiang looked at Jiang Yahui coldly and chortled in mocking at Jiang Ru who was silent all the while. Looks like she was using all of her energy to control her emotions in front of everyone.
“Yes. I am sure there must be a reason why Mr. Chairman has taken this decision. Mr. Chairman, you said that you have the evidence with you. Can you share it with all of us?” One of the shareholders spoke up, meanwhile, the others shouted ‘Yes’ simultaneously to his request.
At first, they thought that it was just a family feud but now it looks like more than that. Grandfather Jiang must have had his reason to dismiss his son and granddaughter from the company and say such cruel words in front of everyone.
However, what could be the reason?

The corner of Grandfather Jiang’s lips curled up upon hearing everyone’s words. He glanced at Jiang Yahui, whose face turned ashen in mortification, and then turned to Jiang Ru, who was still having a hard time dealing with her overwhelming emotions and was trembling in embarrassment and humiliation.
He was pleased to see her frightened reaction. He smirked to see her breaking down so miserably when the ‘real show’ hadn’t even started yet.
What will happen to her when they reach the climax of the show? Tsk. She wouldn’t be able to control her emotions then.
Grandfather Jiang turned to his secretary, Gu De, who was standing behind him in the conference room, and said, “Hand over the documents that we prepared to everyone.”
Gu De nodded and immediately started to distribute the copies of the documents that he had prepared in advance for everyone. He even handed out the copy of the documents to Jiang Yahui and Jiang Ru as well so that they could witness their fall with their bare eyes.
Jiang Ru’s hands quivered as she hesitantly opened the file folder to read the first page of the documents. However, her eyes widened in shock when she read the contents of the document.
She panicked and flipped through all the pages of the document to see how many pages there are of this file. There was a thick bundle of documents that had the details of the deals that they have made until now behind the back of Grandfather Jiang.
It was the deals that they made while Grandfather Jiang was mourning the loss of Jiang Yue and wasn’t checking the ledgers of the company and wasn’t focusing on its operation.
Not only that, there were the details of their secret bank account transaction history as well which had the record of the funds that they had swindled from the company in the past years. It was a long history with all the details that she doesn’t even remember now.
How...How did he find out about everything? How did he get his hands on these documents?
She covered her mouth in horror as she wasn’t sure how he managed to find out all these documents.
While Jiang Yahui and Jiang Ru were reading the documents in sheer horror, the shareholders were staggered as well. So the CEO of the Jiang Corporation and the Managing Director of the company were swindling money from their own company all these years?
Don’t they belong to the Jiang Family as well? How can they fraud money from their family business? That’s disgusting.
The room fell into a suffocating silence as everyone was busy reading the documents and the only sound that could be heard in the room was the flipping sound of the papers and people’s sighing heavily.
The corner of Grandfather Jiang’s lips curled up in a smirk to see Jiang Yahui and Jiang Ru looking at the documents in shock and fright.
To spice things up, Grandfather Jiang signaled Gu De and said, “Turn the lights off and start the video.”
“It’s time for the show that everyone has been longing for.” Grandfather Jiang said and leaned back on the chair in a comfortable position. He crossed his arms in front of his chest as he prepared himself to watch the show that Han Zihao had arranged for the doom of Jiang Ru.
“Yes, Sir.” Gu De nodded and immediately pulled down the projector and connected his laptop with it while everyone stared at him in a daze and confusion.
Was there something more to show as well? Everyone wondered and glanced at Jiang Yahui and Jiang Ru in shock and suspicion.
After he was done arranging his set-up, Gu De turned off the lights in the conference room and played a video on his laptop.
Everyone turned their attention toward the large screen in front of them and was curious to see what more Grandfather Jiang had prepared to show them.
They were already shocked by reading the documents that he had prepared to show them. What else is remaining to show them? Everyone wondered.
Jiang Ru bit her lower lip as she hesitantly turned to watch the video on the screen. It cannot be real.
There is no way he could find evidence that could prove that she is behind the accident of Jiang Yue. No way!
Earlier, she was sure that he was bluffing about having the evidence, however, after reading the documents, she wasn’t sure anymore.
Just as she was hoping for the video to be fake, her eyes widened in shock when it started to play. How...can it be possible?
