Chapter 2417: Chapter 2419: Concealing the Truth
"I really don’t understand, Xiao Chen obviously took a hundred thousand gemstone currency and abandoned Jiang Meng, so why does Jiang Meng still trust him?"
Jiang Manling was puzzled.
"Because he never took those hundred thousand gemstone currency!"
Jiang Weifeng’s voice rang out: "Originally, my brother-in-law told me not to interfere in this matter.
But I really couldn’t bear it any longer.
Jiang Weitan, be honest, did you take those hundred thousand gemstone currency?"
Actually, Jiang Weifeng has been investigating this matter all along.
Recently, he finally had a result.
He sought Xiao Chen’s opinion, and Xiao Chen was indifferent.
Because he simply doesn’t care about the Jiang Family’s opinions.
But now the matter has escalated.
Xiao Chen has been condemned throughout Tianhai City.
He couldn’t stand idly by any longer.
"Weifeng, I’m your brother, how can you slander me like this?
It was clearly Xiao Chen who took the check."
Jiang Weitan stubbornly denied.
"Then see what this is!"
Jiang Weifeng took out surveillance footage and played it on his phone.
In the video, Jiang Weitan kept the check.
And he smiled sinisterly a few times.
Though the image wasn’t very clear, it was still visible.
"Thud!"
Jiang Weitan was scared stiff, he quickly knelt to the ground: "Grandmother, grandfather, I was wrong, I was wrong.
I was possessed and kept those hundred thousand gemstone currency for myself.
It was all me.
But the money is all spent now."
"Waste!"
Guo Ling slammed the table furiously: "Since you did it, you should have done it cleanly, why leave surveillance footage?
Do you think our Jiang Family isn’t disgraced enough?"
She was very angry, not because Jiang Weitan took the check.
But because he should have taken it without being discovered.
They had already blamed the whole issue on Xiao Chen, intending for him to take the fall.
Now that it’s been discovered, isn’t this a slap in their face?
"I did delete the video, I don’t know how this happened."
Jiang Weitan said bitterly.
"Indeed deleted, but our Defense Army’s technical skills can easily recover it."
Jiang Weifeng said calmly: "Grandmother, you see, Xiao Chen isn’t that type of person, we’ve misjudged him.
I’m going to tell Jiang Meng about this to ease her mind."
"Stop right there!"
Guo Ling said coldly: "What are you trying to do? Cause a storm throughout the city?
Do you want your brother to go to jail, or ruin our Jiang Family’s reputation?
Alright, delete the video immediately.
This issue, pretend it never happened.
Remember, to the outside we must maintain a consistent stance, that Xiao Chen took it!"
"Grandmother, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Do you know what you’re doing?"
Jiang Weifeng felt he almost didn’t recognize this grandmother anymore.
Knowing Xiao Chen didn’t do it, yet still wanting to pin it all on him.
If Xiao Chen is enraged by this, it won’t be a trivial matter in the future.
Do these people know what they’re doing?
"Of course, I know what I’m doing, I’m protecting the Jiang Family’s honor.
Though your brother was wrong, it’s a family disgrace, it shouldn’t be aired out.
You can’t tell anyone, remember that?"
Guo Ling said coldly: "If you dare to talk nonsense, I’ll immediately throw you out of this family!"
Jiang Weifeng sighed: "For the Jiang Family’s honor, can a person’s reputation be destroyed?
I’m truly convinced!"
"How does that kid compare to the Jiang Family’s honor? A waste, it doesn’t matter if he’s cursed more."
Jiang Qiangguo also spoke.
Jiang Weifeng shook his head: "Keep on, keep on, just keep doing this, one day, you’ll understand.
Just how foolish you all are.
Doing such a stupid thing!"
"Your words are getting stranger and stranger, actually saying we’re foolish, I think Xiao Chen has brainwashed you!"
Everyone was dismissive.
Completely unaware of the hidden meaning in Jiang Weifeng’s words.
Jiang Weifeng was disheartened.
No matter what he said, it was useless.
After deleting the video, he was let out.
He directly called Xiao Chen: "Mr. Xiao, do you know about my cousin Jiang Meng’s engagement?"
"I know!"
Xiao Chen said coldly: "This issue is widespread, I’d be surprised if I didn’t know.
Don’t worry, with me here, Jiang Meng won’t marry anyone other than me."
"Understood!"
Jiang Weifeng nodded: "Do you know the location?"
"Yes, Tianhai Grand Hotel, ten in the morning."
Xiao Chen replied: "I’ve already investigated thoroughly, and there are troops stationed there. Even the Jin Family will retreat in defeat.
Daring to covet my wife, they must be really sick of living!"
"Alright, as long as you know, I won’t say more!"
Jiang Weifeng hurriedly hung up the call to avoid the Jiang Family discovering his connection with Xiao Chen.
...
On the day of the engagement ceremony.
The Jiang Family forced Jiang Meng to dress up and get onto the car.
For Xiao Chen’s safety, Jiang Meng chose to temporarily endure for now.
Outside, guests arrived.
It was the Jiang Family from Glazed Glass City.
Jiang Yurong brought her son and grandson along.
Upon hearing Jiang Meng had engaged a noble, how could she not come?
Jiang Yurong had quieted down quite a bit lately.
Faced with this matter, she came to attach herself.
The guests from the Tianxia Society also arrived.
Tianxia Society initially didn’t consider Jiang Meng a part of the Jiang Clan.
But hearing Jiang Meng was going to marry the grandson of Jin Shirong, they sent a somewhat important figure to attend the engagement ceremony.
"Oh dear, who would’ve thought, a phoenix rising from a humble place.
Jiang Meng comes from such a small family, and now she’s going to marry into the Jin Family, a mid-tier Martial Family!
Really makes one marvel!"
Jiang Yurong was excited.
As if she had raised Jiang Meng herself.
Jiang Meng’s face was icy cold.
The Jiang Family and Jiang Clan really are of the same ilk.
"Congratulations, Jiang Meng, I told you long ago, you shouldn’t waste time on Xiao Chen.
Look how great it is now, marrying into the Jin Family, your good life begins!"
"Exactly, they’re the top financial family in Central Plains!"
"Look how happy you are!"
Jiang Yurong and others praised her one after another.
"That Xiao Chen is truly vile, he was alright before, at least he was King Yama War God, but now he’s worse and worse.
Abandoned his wife for a hundred thousand gemstone currency, who could stay with someone like him long-term?"
"Right, I also heard he embezzled money from the Jiang Family, yet claims he didn’t take it, truly shameless!"
"Indeed, he took a lot of money from our Jiang Family before too, just a scoundrel!"
The saying of adding insult to injury must be explained this way.
Jiang Yurong and Guo Ling were simply two peas in a pod, perfect partners in crime.
Their deeds were remarkably similar.
Jiang Weifeng felt extremely uncomfortable hearing this.
He didn’t understand why Xiao Chen, who could easily settle matters, had to endure such humiliation.
He truly didn’t understand.
Xiao Chen simply didn’t care about the Jiang Family’s opinions, nor would he waste time on this issue.
After a while, everyone headed to Tianhai Grand Hotel.
