"Dad, look at my sister-in-law and Jiang Youli... are those two even speaking human language?!" Qin Yulian was so angry that her face turned red, and her chest heaved violently. She felt like she was about to develop breast hyperplasia from anger!

Jiang Youli retorted without backing down, "Since you're not human, my mother and I naturally don't want to speak human language to you."

Qin Yulian's eyes widened in anger as she pointed at Jiang Youli and loudly rebuked her: "My sister-in-law used to be such a gentle person, but now she's been led astray by Jiang Youli and has become unreasonable!"

Zhang Susu retorted, "I was docile before because I didn't want to compete with you, but now I realize that you are such a heartless family. I'm afraid you've been gloating for a long time because Ahan and I don't have children, so you naturally won't compete with us for the family property. Now that Youli has become Ahan and I's daughter, and she is so outstanding, she threatens you in every way, and that's why you've started to get angry."

"Don't make false accusations!" Qin Yulian's rebuttal sounded somewhat weak, but she still shamelessly said something against her conscience, "Sister-in-law, I've always felt very sorry that you and my brother don't have children, even more so than you!"

"Huh? Really? Weren't you the one who kept cursing me for not being able to lay eggs?" Zhang Susu exposed her fake kindness.

Qin Yulian was speechless after being rebuked. Just as she was about to retort, Jiang Yangxu quickly spoke up to stop her, saying, "Alright, stop rambling. We're talking about the car accident!"

Reminded by her husband, Qin Yulian suddenly realized what was happening and quickly said, "That's right! I didn't come here today to argue with you! My son, Zhao'er, was seriously injured in a car accident caused by Jiang Youli, and he's still unconscious! The doctors say it's uncertain whether he'll wake up! So no matter what, Jiang Youli must give us a satisfactory explanation today! If she doesn't, I will make her pay with her blood!"

As she spoke, she adopted a posture of not giving up until she achieved her goal.

Jiang Yehan's face was ashen, and his gaze toward Jiang Yangxu was icy as he said, "Jiang Zhao made a mistake regarding the evening gown, but in the end we still handed over the decision-making power to you and your sister-in-law. As for the car accident, without concrete evidence to prove that Youli was intentional, as my and Susu's child, Youli should be handled by my husband and me."

Before her husband could even speak, Qin Yulian, enraged, pointed at Jiang Yehan and shouted, "Are these two matters of equal severity?! My son might not even wake up yet! You think you can protect Jiang Youli with a casual 'handle it yourself'? No way!"

Jiang Yehan did not back down and said righteously, "Since that's the case, the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim. If you want to prove that You Li deliberately hit Jiang Zhao, then you must produce solid evidence! The traffic police have clearly stated that the braking system of the vehicle You Li was driving had been deliberately damaged by someone else. If that's not the case, then this car accident could very well have just been an ordinary accident!"

Jiang Youli has surveillance video, but she can't directly present the evidence, otherwise it would be tantamount to admitting that she knew in advance that Jiang Zhao had tampered with the footage, so she deliberately bumped into Jiang Zhao.

So she suggested, "Grandpa can have the head butler go to Mimi Village to investigate; perhaps Jiang will find evidence of the brakes in the car that he sent me."

Grandpa Jiang nodded, then gave the head butler a meaningful look. The head butler nodded in understanding and went out to make the arrangements.

Jiang Yangxu glanced sideways at the head butler, but remained silent.

He believed his son wouldn't be that stupid; if he was going to tamper with Jiang Youli's car, he would have left behind evidence such as surveillance footage.

Therefore, he was not worried that the head butler could find anything in Mimi Village.

Old Master Jiang said with a solemn expression, "I will decide how to handle this matter after the head butler's investigation results are released. It was one thing to make a scene at home before, but now you should stop making a scene at the hospital and embarrass yourselves."

Although Qin Yulian was unwilling, she still glared fiercely at Jiang Youli and gritted her teeth as she replied, "Fine, Dad, I can wait. This time I believe you will give Zhao'er a fair trial! Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to call the police!"

She stomped her feet angrily and left Jiang Youli's ward.

Seeing this, Jiang Yonghe quickly followed Qin Yulian's footsteps, preparing to leave together. Jiang Xing had only taken a few steps when he heard Old Master Jiang's voice behind him: "Jiang Xing, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Xing paused, turned around, and respectfully nodded, replying, "Yes, Grandpa."

Jiang Yangxu, who had been observing coldly from the sidelines, frowned slightly upon hearing that the old man had specifically asked to keep his eldest son. He wondered what the old man wanted to say by keeping his eldest son with him.

"Second son, you leave first," Old Master Jiang instructed again.

"Yes." Jiang Yangxu nodded and left the ward.

Zhang Susu glanced nervously at her husband, Jiang Yehan.

Jiang Yehan gently patted the back of her hand, signaling her to calm down.

After Jiang Yangxu and his family left, Old Master Jiang spoke solemnly and sternly: "Jiang Xing, Jiang Yonghe just said that you went to Mimi's Village today to meet an important figure concerning the future development of Starlight Entertainment, named Lili Yuanshang, right?"

Jiang Xing didn't expect that this was what her grandfather wanted to ask. She nodded and said, "Yes, Li Liyuan is a well-known novelist on the internet. The TV series adapted from her first three novels were huge hits, and their ratings were far ahead of other novels in the same period. So I want to try to buy the rights to her last novel. Yonghe said that she knows a writer who knows Li Liyuan and can help arrange a meeting."

Grandpa Jiang said, "Who knew that after meeting you, you would discover that this novelist from Lili Plain is You Li?"

Jiang Xing nodded. "Mm."

Grandpa Jiang continued, "Then Jiang Zhao thought that this was a trap set by You Li to embarrass you?"

"Yes." Jiang Xing did not deny it.

"And what about you? What do you think?" Old Master Jiang asked him.

Jiang Xing was taken aback, and said truthfully, "To be honest, Grandpa, this is too much of a coincidence. I have to suspect that she is deliberately playing a trick on us."

Old Master Jiang looked somewhat disappointed at Jiang Xing's answer. "At that welcoming banquet, didn't you witness firsthand the extraordinary talent that You Li displayed? The original piece she composed and played on the spot easily defeated your adopted sister Jiang Yonghe, whom you've always considered exceptionally talented!"

Jiang Xing frowned, seemingly unconvinced. He retorted, "Grandpa, a person's energy is limited. Even if someone can excel in a specific field, it's impossible for them to be outstanding in everything."

However, Old Master Jiang remained unmoved. He snorted and continued, "Jiang Yonghe was known as a talented woman because she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. So why do you think it's impossible for Youli to have so many outstanding talents at the same time?"

“She is different from Xiaohe. From childhood to adulthood, our Jiang family has invested so many resources in Xiaohe to raise her to be so outstanding. But Jiang Youli, she…” Jiang Xing paused here, looking at Jiang Youli with doubt, “but she has been living away from home since childhood and grew up in the village. To be honest, in my opinion, her performance at the welcome banquet is the highest she can achieve.”

Grandpa Jiang sighed again in disappointment, "You forgot, she's not only a skilled pianist who can compose her own music, but also a highly skilled doctor. What do you mean by that?"
