No reconciliation, no forgiveness! Mr. Pei leaves with nothing.
Chapter 346 Are rich people's money so easy to swindle?
At the entrance of Yulong Bay, Jiang Hua had just put down her bag when Xu Qiulan brought her a pair of slippers and placed her old boots aside for cleaning and maintenance.
Jiang Weiguo was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper when he heard the sound behind him. Without even looking up, he saw Jiang Hua sit down on the sofa, take a banana from the fruit plate on the table, and lean back against Jiang Weiguo's lap.
"Didn't you plan to stay home and focus on writing books and papers? Why are you now thinking about taking over the studio and association?"
"Your health has finally improved, and you're suddenly taking on such a high-pressure job. I'm worried your body won't be able to handle it. How about I talk to the school leaders and find someone else to take over?"
Jiang Hua looked at the crystal chandelier above her head, eating a banana, and said, "I don't want it. I was the one who came up with the idea of the association and the studio in the first place. If Pei Zhan hadn't secretly helped them behind the scenes, they wouldn't have gotten their hands on it at all. I'm only accepting it because I don't want our family's things to be insulted by this bunch of rabble."
"Actually, I had this idea from the beginning..."
"Oh?" Jiang Weiguo glanced at his daughter lying on his lap in surprise. "You have your own ideas. It seems... you really care about this matter."
Is there anything Dad can do for you?
Jiang Hua threw the banana peel into the trash can after she finished eating it. "No need, I can handle it myself."
"Miss, your phone is ringing in your bag." Xu Qiulan said, taking the phone out of her bag and handing it to Jiang Hua.
As Jiang Hua looked at the caller ID, hesitating whether to answer, her father suddenly said, "Answer it. No matter what, Ye Bai has helped the Jiang family a lot. He must have thought things through. He's contacting you, so it must be something important."
"I...we have something going on. Dad...you can't say things like that."
Jiang Weiguo glanced at Jiang Hua with a meaningful smile, but didn't say anything more.
Just as Jiang Hua was about to answer the phone, the other party hung up. She got up and walked to the side to answer it. Just as she was about to call him back, she found that Shen Yebai's phone was not connected.
Thinking he probably had something on his mind, I simply sent him a message and waited for him to reply when he was free.
Jiang Hua went back to her room upstairs and took a nap. When she woke up, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon, almost 4:00.
There was still an unread text message on my phone.
Shen Yebai: I just finished a meeting, do you have time?
After nearly a minute of deleting and rewriting in the chat box, Jiang Hua finally replied: "Hmm."
Shen Yebai: I'll have Xie Huai come pick you up.
Jiang Hua: Okay.
The conversation was brief and without any further questions. Half an hour later, when Xie Huai's car arrived downstairs at Yulong Bay...
Jiang Hua had finished getting ready and went downstairs.
Xu Qiulan: "Miss, dinner is almost ready. Where are you going?"
Jiang Hua raised her wrist and glanced at the new watch she was wearing. "You don't need to wait for me tonight."
"I have something to do outside, don't wait for me."
Xu Qiulan only understood when she saw the car parked at the door.
Xie Huai opened the rear passenger door, and after Jiang Hua got in the car, they quickly left Yulong Bay.
"Secretary Xie, where are we going?"
"You'll know when you arrive, Miss."
The car drove into the city center, to a high-end star-rated hotel restaurant.
"Miss, we are here."
After Jiang Hua got out of the car, Xie Huai led her into a private room. When they opened the door, they found that the person looking for her was not Shen Yebai, but a woman with several bodyguards standing behind her. When Jiang Hua came in, the woman waved her hand, and the bodyguards behind her left and stood guard outside the door.
"Madam, Miss Jiang has arrived."
Jiang Hua noticed that Xie Huai bowed respectfully to the lady in front of him.
"Come here." The lady's voice was pleasant and gentle. She wore no extra jewelry and was clean and simple. Her demeanor suggested she was not an ordinary person. The only thing she wore was a jade bracelet on her wrist. Jiang Hua could tell at a glance that the bracelet was not very expensive, around three million, but it didn't seem so. It was made of very rare material, and Jiang Hua couldn't tell.
Seeing that the other party was probably someone important, Jiang Hua stepped forward and sat down in front of the lady.
"You're looking for me?"
"Don't be nervous. I'm here today to ask for your help." The other person was also a straightforward person. As she spoke, she pressed a bank card with her slender fingers and handed it to Jiang Hua. "The money in this account should belong to your Jiang family. Now I'm returning it to you."
Actually, I wanted to ask you for a favor.
As she spoke, the woman opened the jewelry box beside her, revealing a broken diamond necklace inside. "This was originally a wedding gift for my daughter, but the two of them had a small argument, and the necklace broke. I had someone send it to be repaired, but it turned out to be a shoddy job, which is why it's in this state now."
Jiang Hua thought about it and guessed it. She didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. The thing they talked about during the day, they met the owner who was going to sue Xue Ruyao and the others today. "Looks like another innocent victim who got swindled. This necklace must have been expensive. They only had to pay three million?"
The other party nodded without getting angry: "This matter is complicated. The president of Imperial University asked Ye Bai to come and reconcile with me."
“I can understand why he sits in this position, after all, he is in charge of the capital.”
Shen Yebai is not someone who can't separate public and private matters. Even if she had a falling out with Song Qingran and Xue Ruyao, Shen Yebai would not ignore such a big matter because of her. After all, the school leaders have intervened, which means that this matter involves a lot of people.
"With your status, it shouldn't be difficult to find professional jewelry restorers who would pay three million. Why do you trust them so much?"
The lady said, “Because the lost diamond is only owned by the Jiang Group, and my daughter’s wedding is approaching, plus they said they have a cooperative relationship with the Jiang Group and can restore it to its original state, I have no choice but to believe them.”
Are rich people's money so easy to swindle?
Madam: "I already told your father that no matter how much I offer, she won't agree."
"Because the last 'priceless' one was said to have been left to you by your mother."
"They said they had a way to find the other one, so I had no choice but to try it as a last resort."
"Now the wedding date has been delayed, and Yue Sheng has also postponed the wedding because of this. It has caused unpleasantness. She had a fight before and was still feeling uncomfortable. Later, she secretly attempted suicide by cutting her wrists and is still lying in the hospital. No one can persuade her to stay."
Yue Sheng?
Du Yuesheng?
Wait a minute, Du Yuesheng and Rong Xingzhi, she is the wife of the mayor of Haishi?
Suddenly, all sorts of information rushed into Jiang Hua's mind. No way, someone like Rong Xingzhi would actually argue?
Jiang Hua couldn't imagine what Rong Xingzhi would be like when he got angry.
Rong Xingzhi, who was under the influence of the regime, was so good that he had almost no temper. Yet, he still managed to make Du Yuesheng commit suicide by cutting his wrists.
