Chapter 121 Don't Get on the Wrong Ship
I didn't recognize the middle-aged woman in front of me, so I hesitated and asked, "Who are you?"
The middle-aged woman then smiled and introduced herself, "You can call me Mrs. Chang, and my husband is Chang Xin."
A look of confusion crossed my face. I had no connection with this Mrs. Chang, so why did she suddenly invite me to her home?
I didn't agree immediately, but made an excuse, "It's probably not convenient today. I appreciate Mrs. Chang's kindness."
I was about to turn and leave when her bodyguard blocked my way. I looked over with some displeasure. "What does Mrs. Changtai mean by this? This is not an invitation."
The smile on the other person's face faded slightly, and when they looked up at me, a glint of shrewdness flashed in their eyes. "I thought Miss Jiang was a smart person. Smart people should know how to be pragmatic."
At this moment, Xu Qing seemed to notice my predicament. He left the driver behind and walked over alone, smiling as he said, "Miss Jiang, is your car broken down? How about I give you a ride?"
I glanced at Mrs. Chang. She didn't say anything, nor did she scold Xu Qing. The more she did this, the more I felt that she was very shrewd and was waiting for me to make a choice.
Since she invited me to her home, even if I make an excuse to refuse this time, I will still be invited next time. I might as well go and see what tricks this Mrs. Chang is up to.
I refused Xu Qing's offer to help me out and asked him to drive my car back instead. Then I got into Mrs. Chang's car.
Mrs. Chang didn't say anything special along the way, only that she was about the same age as my mother and had a daughter about the same age as me, so she felt especially close to me when she saw me.
When the car arrived at the Chang family's house, she took me to the glass conservatory. The maid served tea and snacks and then quietly left.
When it was just the two of us left, I finally couldn't hold back and asked bluntly, "Mrs. Chang, you're not here to chat about everyday things, so please speak frankly."
Mrs. Chang picked up her teacup and took a small sip. “I heard that you and the young master of the Ge family grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and your mother and Mrs. Ge are also close friends.”
I nodded slightly. Everyone knew about this, so there was no point in hiding it.
Mrs. Chang smiled and did not pursue the matter further. Instead, she suddenly changed the subject, "My family is also in business. In a way, we are related to the Fu family. My sister is Mr. Fu's wife."
She took the initiative to clarify their relationship, and then said that her family's business had been doing well recently, so they gave her a yacht as a gift.
My brow furrowed deeper and deeper. I didn't believe that Mrs. Chang was simply showing off. I suppressed my irritation and continued listening.
Mrs. Chang raised her voice slightly and suddenly asked a question, "I originally had an old yacht, and now I have a new one. Which one should I use when I go out to sea in the future?"
"New." Without much thought, I immediately gave the answer.
After hearing this, Mrs. Chang took my hand, patted it with a smile, and then said meaningfully, "No matter who gave that yacht before, or how much sentimental value it has, people always look forward. Getting on and off the boat is a common occurrence. It's just a matter of which yacht can go further!"
“Miss Jiang is a smart woman. This yacht is old and lacks power. It won’t go very far if we get on it again. It would be terrible if it sank.”
Hearing this, I finally understood what she meant.
This is an implication that I should abandon the Ge family and board the Chang family's new ship.
The reason Mrs. Chang said those things to me was most likely due to her husband's suggestion. Whether it was this report or the matter of helping Uncle Ge out of trouble, it wasn't exactly a secret.
The Chang and Fu families are related by marriage, so they must know that I secretly read my father's documents. Even without evidence, everyone knows that this matter is related to me.
"Mrs. Chang, clothes are better when they're new, but people are better when they're old. People always cherish the past. What if Mr. Chang stops cherishing the past one day? What will become of you, Mrs. Chang?" I retorted, not too harshly, and saw her face gradually turn ugly.
I haven't done much research on Chang Xin, but I've heard that he's been involved in a lot of scandals in the past because of his powerful background, but the people behind him have always covered it up.
Mrs. Chang invited me today on purpose, partly to give me a warning, and partly to win me over.
She let go, but her grip on my hand wasn't as warm as it had been at the beginning. "It seems Miss Jiang hasn't thought this through yet. Why don't you go back and give me some advice, so I don't end up following the wrong person and sinking the ship?"
"Mrs. Chang must be tired, so I won't disturb you any longer." I said, getting up to leave, and heard her cold snort behind me.
Without stopping, I quickly left the Chang family's house. When I took a taxi home, my dad was sitting in the living room waiting for me.
When he saw me return, he could no longer contain his rage, grabbed a cup from the coffee table, and angrily threw it at me.
I could have dodged the cup, but after hesitating for a moment, I didn't. The cup hit my head, and a sharp pain shot through me.
At the same time, warm liquid slid down my forehead. A look of surprise flashed in my father's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger. "It's all your fault, you unfilial daughter! I support you and give you money, and you betray me!"
"Is Dad upset that I peeked at your files?" I knew what had triggered all this, so I said it directly.
Before he could get angry, I pretended to be aggrieved and said, "You only know that I'm a traitor, but why don't you mention that your illegitimate daughter was having an affair with my fiancé? Did you already know all along?"
My dad paused for a moment, then frowned and said he knew nothing about it. He added that if he had known, he would have stopped it, since it would be a scandal if it got out.
After he finished speaking, he looked at me hesitantly. "So, you were peeking at the documents to get revenge on that Fu family brat and your sister?"
“Dad, I’ve said it before, I will never allow Grandpa’s company to fall into the hands of an illegitimate daughter.” She raised her eyes and looked at him firmly. “This has caused such a huge uproar and even cracked my head. If this gets out, it will be a scandal. But with so many scandals combined, I don’t mind.”
When my dad heard me say that, he was so angry he was trembling. He pointed at me and yelled that I was crazy.
Bian Jiahui, who had been watching the show from upstairs, sensed something was wrong and quickly came down to try and persuade them.
But my dad is furious now. He didn't give her a friendly look and pushed her away. Bian Jiahui lost her balance and fell to the ground. Blood started flowing between her legs.
