274 Blackmail and Imprisonment
Li Jin was a little dejected when she saw this. Guan Lei only had eyes for the nobody, Shen Xi. Could it be that he couldn’t see her standing there alone?
She had been pushed to the ground by Jiang Xue just now to save her, and her arm was even grazed. Guan Lei didn’t even come over to show her any concern.
Shen Xi was just a little better in her studies, a little more beautiful, a little better in figure, and…
The more Li Jin thought about it, the angrier she got. In the end, she realized that Shen Xi’s family background wasn’t good and she wasn’t good enough for Guan Lei. Besides, Master Guan wouldn’t let a woman who played smart like Shen Xi into the Guan Family.
Li Jin felt a little happier when she thought of this. After all, it was important to have a match of equal social status in a big family, so Shen Xi couldn’t be with Guan Lei.
Jiang Xue looked at Guan Lei’s actions and sneered. Shen Xi was indeed a vixen. She managed to seduce the silly boy, Guan Lei.
Jiang Xue took a closer look at Guan Lei and suddenly realized that he seemed to be a little handsome.
In the past, there were layers of dark circles under Guan Lei’s eyes, and he looked dispirited as if his essence had been sucked away by a demon. Now Guan Lei didn’t have those dark circles anymore. He looked more energetic and handsome.
In addition to his delicate facial features and determined eyes, he was much better looking than Xiang Cheng.
Jiang Xue felt sour in her heart. She couldn’t believe that Shen Xi was so lucky to have found such a good-looking bootlicker.
However, Jiang Xue felt better when she remembered that Guan Lei’s family was poor.
Jiang Xue was still feeling proud when she suddenly received a call from her mother, Xia Chun.
On the other end of the phone, Xia Chun was crying and said intermittently, “Xue’er, go and beg Xiang Cheng! Beg him not to sue your father!”
Jiang Xue quickly covered the phone and slipped out of the classroom from the back. Then she asked, “Mom, don’t cry. What happened? Tell me in detail.”
Xia Chun sniffed and said, “Your father asked the Xiang Family for 50 million…”
Before Xia Chun could finish, Jiang Xue angrily shouted, “Mom, why did you look for the Xiang Family for money? Didn’t I tell you not to take their money? Why didn’t you listen to me? How am I supposed to get along with the Xiang Family in the future then?”
Xia Chun felt a little guilty. After Jiang Xue finished, she continued to cry and say, “We’re doing this for your good. You’re pregnant with the Xiang Family’s child, so they’ll have to spend some money to marry you. But I didn’t expect them to set a trap for your father.”
Xia Chun cried loudly. “They recorded everything your father said when he asked for money and then sued your father for extortion. Your father has been arrested.”
Jiang Xue was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She never thought that her rich parents, whom she was so proud of, would be so stupid.
Xia Chun sobbed over the phone. “Xue’er, you can’t leave your father alone. Go and beg Xiang Cheng to let your father go!”
Jiang Xue couldn’t be bothered to save her father now. All she could think about was how to separate herself from the fact that her father had gone to the Xiang Family to ask for money.
If she simply said that she didn’t know, the Xiang Family probably wouldn’t believe her.
However, Jiang Xue could only pretend that she didn’t know about this.
Jiang Xue said ruthlessly, “Mom, I’d like to plead for dad, but Brother Cheng doesn’t care about me at all. I can’t even find him. Mom, think of another way. I’ll try my best to contact Brother Cheng.”
After that, Jiang Xue comforted Xia Chun and then hung up the phone. She put away her phone with a cold expression.
As soon as Xia Chun hung up Jiang Xue’s phone call, Wang Yue called her.
Wang Yue said in a threatening tone, “Xia Chun, if you want to save your husband, you have to think of a way as soon as possible to break off the engagement between Jiang Xue and Xiang Cheng in a dignified way. As for the child, our Xiang Cheng is still young and doesn’t want to be a father so early. I think you know what I’m talking about.”
Xia Chun naturally knew what Wang Yue meant. Even if the child in Jiang Xue’s womb was Xiang Cheng’s, the Xiang Family still wouldn’t want it.
Xia Chun hung up Wang Yue’s phone and sat in the bedroom in a daze.
Mama Lin knocked on the door and said, “Madam, we don’t have money to buy groceries…”
