My Evil Genius Wife

510 Unexpected Guest III

“Who told you to sit down?” Grandfather Jiang asked and stared at Xiong Hua coldly who was sitting on the couch next to him and spouting nonsense since she entered the Mansion.

“Yes?” Xiong Hua was caught off guard when Grandfather Jiang suddenly interrupted her words.

She pursed her lips in nervousness when saw the hostile look in the old man’s eyes. It was her first time witnessing him using this kind of cold and indifferent tone and attitude toward her.

Jiang Hanying rested his arms on the armrest of the couch and crossed his legs on one another and asked with coldness in his eyes, “Do you think I allowed the guard to let you come inside for you to spout all this nonsense in front of me? Who do you think you are? Huh?”

“More than that, who gave you the right to harass my staff? Do you think that you have the power to step into my house and beat my staff? As the Master of the Household, I never punished them, who do you think you are to slap them?” He asked coldly while interrogating her.

Xiong Hua swallowed her saliva and could feel a chill down her spine. She has never seen him get this angry and scold her like this.

She is his daughter-in-law after all. How can he take the servant’s side instead of hers? ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

Since when did this old man who used to ignore everything and stay inside his study room as if he doesn’t exist in the Mansion after Jiang Yue’s demise suddenly become a lion guarding its den? What made him change his attitude all of a sudden?

She looked at him with her teary eyes and said in a choking voice, “Father, why are you speaking to me like that? What wrong did I do to be treated by you like that?”

.....

“I wasn’t trying to overlook your orders but I acted that way because the servants were stopping me from entering my house. How can they stop me from coming inside? If I don’t come here, then where would I go?” She frowned and confronted him, feeling upset about the whole situation.

She didn’t even know until morning that something like that had happened to her family.

If Jiang Ru and Jiang Yahui are at fault, then why is she being treated like an abandoned garbage bag? She didn’t do anything wrong for him to treat her like this.

“I am your daughter-in-law. You were the one who brought me into this mansion. If you think Yahui and Jiang Ru did something wrong, how can you treat me in such a way? Why am I being punished along with them when I did nothing?” She clenched her fists in humiliation and sobbed while trying to control her anger and not show it in front of him.

The power is still in his hands. She cannot rise above him. So it’s better to lower her head and make him emotional with her tears and make him release Jiang Ru and her husband from jail.

Grandfather Jiang raised his brows when Xiong Hua expressed her frustration in front of him and how she was being wronged in the whole situation.

He looked at her with a mocking smirk and asked, “So you think that I am doing you wrong and punishing you when you’re innocent in the whole matter?”

Xiong Hua nodded while sobbing and wiped her tears gracefully while making sure to not ruin her waterproof makeup with the tissue that she had been holding since earlier.

She had prepared the tissues with her in advance in case she had to showcase her performance in front of him. The situation has escalated to this level already, things cannot be resolved with words only now.

Even if she has to beg in front of him, she will do everything to protect her family.

“Yes. Although I believe that Jiang Ru and Yahui did nothing wrong, you still do not have any right to throw me out of the mansion like this. It’s not like I killed Jiang Yue and her parents. Why am I being punished like this?” She asked.

The old man scoffed and chuckled to see the way she was shamelessly claiming to be innocent in the whole matter.

“So you want to know why I am kicking you out of this house? Looks like you are more shameless than I thought you to be. Okay. I’ll let you know why you don’t deserve to stay in this Mansion anymore.” Grandfather Jiang’s eyes turned cold as he continued, “It’s because you were no less than those murderers.”

“If they were the ones who planned to kill my eldest son and destroy his whole family, you were no less than those murderers. Because you were aware of all of this from the start and supported them instead of telling me the truth.” He revealed, which caused Xiong Hua’s face to turn pale. 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

Jiang Hnaying’s eyes turned cold to see the pale complexion of Xiong Hua as he continued, “Were you not the one who covered Jiang Ru’s bullying case at the school? Your daughter and her friends bullied Jiang Yue in front of so many students and almost killed her yet no teacher or student said a word to me when I went to their school to inquire about the incident. Why?”

” Because you were the one who encouraged Jiang Ru’s evil deeds by covering her mistakes. You were the one who told Jiang Yue to keep her mouth shut because no one would listen to her complaints.”

“That girl lost her parents, however, rather than taking care of her, you treated her like a stranger in her own house and ignored her. Yet you dare to call yourself the Mistress of the Jiang Household. Hah! Xiong Hua, you lost that title and respect long ago.” Grandfather Jiang chided her and could feel his blood boiling when he remembered all those things that Xiong Hua did to Jiang Yue.

“Father…..” Xiong Hua’s eyes widened in shock as she wasn’t expecting him to know about everything. Those were the things that were between her and Jiang Yue and no one else. She also made sure to clean all the evidence of that incident. Then how did he find out that she was the one who erased those records and evidence?

“Forget about that since it happened long ago. However, what did you do when Jiang Ru told you what she did to Jiang Yue? She killed my granddaughter yet you didn’t do anything to teach her a lesson. Instead, you praised her and even helped her to cover her crime with perfection, once again. Xiong Hua, you were the one who created a monster like Jiang Ru. It was because of your and Jiang Yahui’s greed that your daughter is behind the bars rather than sitting on the chair of CEO of the Jiang Corporations.”

Xiong Hua’s hands started to tremble the more she listened to the old man’s sharp and straightforward words. She had thought that he only knew about the things that Jiang Ru and Yahui did. However, how did he find out that she was also aware of everything and involved in it?

“Father, I…I am sure there is some misunderstanding. I didn’t do anything. I didn’t know about anything, I swear. Did Jiang Ru tell you all of this? Please don’t believe her. She is lying. She never told me anything like that.” She tried to feign ignorance but all of her excuses went to deaf ears.

Grandfather Jiang wasn’t even surprised to see her putting all the blame on Jiang Ru. Because this was what he was expecting from her.

“She didn’t tell me anything. I found out everything about myself. How you cleaned up behind Jiang Ru’s crimes and how your family was connected to the financial frauds committed by Jiang Yahui at the company.”

“Hah! I cannot believe that my son was forging the financial statements in the company to grow your family business. Looks like he trusted you and your family to the point that he didn’t even hesitate to cheat his father and was trying to silently build his connection.” Grandfather Jiang said with disappointment in his eyes.

Xiong Hua’s mouth opened in disbelief when he mentioned her family. How did he find out about it?

“Father….My family didn’t do anything wrong. They had nothing to do with this. They didn’t even know that Yahui was doing something suspicious with the company’s records. Please don’t drag them into this matter.” She panicked and tried to defend her family.

Jiang Yahui and Jiang Ru were already in the ruins. She cannot let her family be dragged into this matter as well.

Jiang Hanying smirked to see her panicking and said, “Xiong Hua, you don’t need to give me any explanation. If your family is involved in this matter or not, the police will find out about it. I have submitted the documents that I have gathered and they will deal with it.”

“Ah, If I am not wrong, your brother will soon receive a summon letter from the prosecutor’s office and will be called in for an investigation. If you want, you can inform them about it so that they can prepare their defense. As you can see, I have more than enough evidence to prove your brother guilty along with your husband and daughter. The least you can do is to ask them to prepare their documents in advance and not embarrass themselves in the first hearing of the court itself.”

“Xiong Huab, now you can spend your whole life thinking about what sin you committed for you to be punished like this. I am sure you will find your answer soon.” Grandfather Jiang said sarcastically, leaving Xiong Hua’s confidence and self-respect broken into pieces.
