Chapter 871: Settling the Score

Seeing how Mr. Jiang was pretending to be confused, Gong Tianhao chuckled and said mockingly, “Mr. Jiang, do you not understand what I mean?”

Mr. Jiang’s heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable sense of panic appeared in his heart. He still pretended to be calm and said, “Mr. Gong, I really don’t understand what you mean. Please enlighten me!”

However, he thought to himself, ‘Is Gong Tianhao going to settle the score for what had happened last time?’

After Jiang Shuyu seduced the five men to chase Xiao Lingye out of the company, they had been waiting for Gong Tianhao’s retaliation. However, nothing happened. They assumed that Gong Tianhao had forgiven them.

When they found out that Xiao Lingye was Gong Tianhao’s brother-in-law, they set their sights on Xiao Lingye. Jiang Shuyu launched a hot pursuit of Xiao Lingye with the excuse of apologizing.

However, who would have thought that Xiao Lingye was such a stubborn person? He was adamant that he didn’t like Jiang Shuyu. He rejected her multiple times. Jiang Shuyu felt humiliated.

In order to be able to get close to the Gong family, their family was really shameless. However, Xiao Lingye was a clear-minded person. When he said he didn’t like Jiang Shuyu, he meant it.

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang felt that it was better to give up, but Jiang Shuyu wasn’t willing to give up.

Her dignity and personality were trampled. She had suffered grievance and humiliation. She had to take revenge. That was a slippery slope.

After the truth was revealed, what awaited her was the end of her reputation. If Gong Tianhao insisted on holding her responsible, her future would be dark.

Father Jiang naturally considered all of this. For the sake of his daughter’s future, he believed acting dumb was the best course of action. However, he forgot one thing. While he could act dumb, not everyone would act dumb with him.

Gong Tianhao looked at Jiang Xian and sneered, “Mr. Jiang, it seems that you’re determined to play dumb with me to the end. I didn’t do anything when your daughter schemed against my brother-in-law to kick him out of the company, but that didn’t mean that I’d forgotten all about it. I gave face to the Jiang Family. As long as you sincerely apologize to my brother-in-law, I would naturally let it go.

“However, you didn’t appreciate that opportunity but kept making the same mistake. Do you really think the Gong Family can be so easily bullied?”

His cold and indifferent tone exuded a strong aura.

When Mr. Jiang heard this, he wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hand.

Then, he carefully said, “Mr. Gong, Shuyu has already apologized to Student Xiao, but… he didn’t accept it.” Then, he looked at Xiao Lingye and asked kindly, “Student Xiao, is that so?”

Xiao Lingye said expressionlessly, “Mr. Jiang, Miss Jiang once apologized to me and asked for my forgiveness in front of the whole class. She was basically pressuring me to accept her apology. How sincere was she really?

“I couldn’t accept her apology. If I did, I would be in a lot of trouble. Because the premise of her apology was that she wanted to pursue me. If I accepted her apology, I would have to be in a relationship with her. Naturally, I rejected her. After that, she would not let me go and disturbed my studies and work.”

When Mr. Jiang heard this, his face could not be any darker.

A wave of anger suddenly surged in his heart. He was angry at Xiao Lingye. He had already begged him, but he refused to take it.

Xiao Lingye instead belittled his daughter’s lack of self-respect and also trampled on the Jiang family’s reputation.

‘This rascal is so impudent because his sister is now favored by Gong Tianhao. Just you wait. When your sister loses her favor, we’ll see what you can do then! Revenge is a dish best served cold. I will remember this.’

That was what Mr. Jiang thought in his heart. However, he still had to maintain a calm face.

He said, “I’m sorry, student Xiao. My Shuyu is not sensible. As a father, I apologize to you. I hope that you will forgive her.”

Gong Tianhao was too hard to persuade, so he focused on Xiao Lingye.

Xiao Lingye was a brat from the countryside. Even if he was Gong Tianhao’s brother-in-law, he was still a pitiful country bumpkin at heart. Once he could win Xiao Lingye’s pity, Gong Tianhao would forgive them. It was a good plan, but it was a pity that he had underestimated Xiao Lingye’s IQ and EQ.

Since his brother-in-law was there, Xiao Lingye knew that he would disappoint Gong Tianhao if he just let this be. Plus, he knew that this was better handled by Gong Tianhao.

Xiao Lingye said calmly, “Mr. Jiang, everyone has to pay for their mistakes. In the past, Jiang Shuyu seduced my ex-partners to frame me, but I was already magnanimous enough to let it go. But this time, she framed me again with an even more vicious method. She made me out to be a rapist. I can’t forgive her this time.”

As soon as Xiao Lingye finished speaking, many of the students stared at Xiao Lingye in shock, then at Jiang Shuyu, who was still crying loudly.

“Those rumors are actually true.” A student said loudly, “It was really Jiang Shuyu who instigated Su Yang and Qiao Ruoyang to frame Senior Xiao!”

“I knew that it had something to do with Jiang Shuyu.”

“She probably loves him too much!” Someone said.

“Last time, there was a rumor that Jiang Shuyu was holding a grudge because Xiao Lingye rejected her invitation for dinner. If this is true, then Jiang Shuyu is too narrow-minded and vicious.”

“Yeah, just because of a simple rejection, she wanted to ruin someone’s life. Such a person is too scary.”

“Is this Jiang Shuyu crazy?” Someone said angrily, “Does she think the world revolves around her? Everything has to go according to her wishes?”
