Quick Transmigration with Female Lead Aura Chapter 140

“Brother, do you want to go for a drink?”

“No, I'll go home for dinner later.”

“…” Hehe, you're still thinking about going home for dinner.

Shen Quan was secretly called to the rescue by Xiao Zheng's assistant. Jiang Nian's appointment with the man had already ended, but Xiao Zheng did not leave immediately and continued sitting motionlessly from ten o'clock in the morning to two in the afternoon. The little assistant was starving but he didn't dare to disturb Xiao Zheng, so he had no choice but to ask Shen Quan for help.

Shen Quan rushed over immediately after hearing this, and when he saw Xiao Zheng's appearance, he knew that he was struck with lovesickness again.

He was quite helpless and said: “Then you can't hide here for a whole day, right?”

Xiao Zheng turned around in a trance, looked at Shen Quan, and asked, “Why are you here?”

Shen Quan: “…” This is probably the legend of being trapped in love. 

“By the way, what did you just call me?”

“Oh, you heard it wrong.”

Of course, Xiao Zheng didn't go to drink with Shen Quan in the end. At six o'clock in the afternoon, he sat at the table at home on time – he wanted to know what Jiang Nian thought about today's date. To be precise, he wanted to know Jiang Nian's opinion of that man, whether it was good or bad, whether she was willing to continue or planned to end it. He hoped that she would be happy and not be trapped by the past, and he also hoped that she could stay in Xiao's house, so that he could stay by her side for a lifetime.

Jiang Nian was about to be poked a hole in her body because Xiao Zheng's “sneaky” glances. If it was before, she would definitely not have noticed Xiao Zheng's small movements, but after she knew his thoughts, it was impossible for her to not notice.

Of course, in the end, Xiao Zheng didn't ask, and Jiang Nian didn't bother to explain to him, so he went upstairs after dinner.

Coincidentally, she received an important call. The caller said that he had taken pictures of Guo Xiuyu and Yang Hai meeting, “Didn't you take pictures before? Is there any special situation this time?”

Guo Xiuyu and Yang Hai were photographed several times before, but they did not behave in a having-an-affair way and thus the pictures could not be used as evidence to attack Guo Xiuyu, but this time it was different.

Guo Xiuyu and Yang Hai, who have been keeping their distance, were irritated for some reason recently. When the two first met, they were fine, and they didn't have any outrageous behavior. Later, it was unknown what they were talking about, but Guo Xiuyu covered her mouth and cried, and Yang Hai approached her. After he comforted her for a while, Guo Xiuyu threw herself into Yang Hai's arms. He didn't refuse but hugged her instead. Their attitude was extremely natural and intimate, as if these gestures had been repeated thousands of times before, and everyone who saw it would be suspicious of the nature of their relationship.

“Then Yang Hai was very alert. He pulled the curtains up, and we could not photograph their deeds afterward. But they were alone for at least two hours, so it's not hard to tell what happened between them.”

Of course, it was more than obvious that the distance between them was too close for them to be friends. This was enough for Jiang Nian to deal with Guo Xiuyu.

It seems that her stepmother was to be tossed down for a while.

Jiang Nian asked the other party to send the photos, thinking about what to do next.

Jiang Tao was very suspicious. If he knew that Yang Hai and Guo Xiuyu had a close relationship, even if Jiang Nian didn't say anything, he would build up conjectures and suspect that Guo Xiuyu and Yang Hai had joined forces to deceive him. He also had a big development project with Yang Hai at the moment – the land in the north of the city.

Jiang Nian was thinking about the course of action to take when there was a sudden knock on the door. Jiang Nian asked, “Who is it?”

The man's low voice came through the door panel, “It's me.”

It was Xiao Zheng.

Jiang Nian went to open the door, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Zheng standing at the door like a well-behaved elementary school student, standing at the door.

“What's the matter, what's wrong?”

Xiao Zheng asked in response: “How was your blind date today?”

Jiang Nian replied, “It was alright.”

He became nervous, “Do you want to continue to meet him?”

Jiang Nian shrugged: “It depends on fate.”

Xiao Zheng fiddled nervously for a while, then lowered his head: “Actually, I don't think he is very good, you can think about it again…”

“What's wrong?”

” The other party is a simple teacher, the treatment and salary are too poor, I am afraid that you will endure hardship.”

“…?” Xiao Zheng's consciousness is so high?

Xiao Zheng raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Nian, seeing that she was silent, as if she was thinking, and continued, “Sister-in-law, why don't we find another one, someone with strong working ability and earning money, who can take care of you and match you? A man who won't make you work hard unless you want to.”

Jiang Nian was almost fooled by him: “I am rich myself, even if I find a boyfriend who has no money, I will not endure hardship, don't worry.”

Xiao Zheng: “…?!” Does this mean she's willing to raise a man? !

He immediately retorted, “No, that's not good! If that man is not as good as you, it's easy to cause problems.”

Jiang Nian waved her hand: “Okay, don't worry about me, go and rest, good night.”

Xiao Zheng: “…”

He pulled at his hair, looked at the closed bedroom door, drooped his head, and kicked the wall with his toes.

…

The next day, Jiang Nian was about to trouble Guo Xiuyu, but heard some rumors about her, which now spread all over the circle. It became known that Guo Xiuyu tried everything for Jiang Nian and Jiang Tao to reconcile, and that more than 10 million gifts have been given! But she didn't get Jiang Nian's acknowledgment nor forgiveness, the latter didn't soften her face at all, even when she, as an elder and a stepmother, knelt in front of Jiang Nian and begged her…

This Jiang Nian's heart is too vicious!

No matter how many problems there are between her and Jiang Tao, they have been in a cold war with each other for almost ten years. Jiang Tao is still Jiang Nian's father. He wanted to recognize her and invite her home, but she was unmoved, how could she be so cruel?

“Actually, the last time I heard that Jiang Nian wanted Guo Xiuyu to kneel, I felt that Jiang Nian was too cruel. After all, Guo Xiuyu is her stepmother. As a mother, she kneels down for her daughter, isn't she afraid of thunder striking her?”

” I agree.”

“What kind of mother is Guo Xiuyu? Who doesn't know that not long after Xiao Yi died, Jiang Tao took advantage of his illness to deceive Jiang Nian back and wanted to marry her to a man who could be her father. Jiang Nian was reluctant and protested for a few days, and she almost starved to death. Did you see them being soft-hearted then? As for cruelty, I can't tell who is crueler.”

“But that happened more than ten years ago, and Jiang Nian holds grudges too much.”

“Then change it to you, try it and see if you'll hold grudges or not?”

“…”

There were quite a few rumors like this. In addition to those about Jiang Nian having no filial piety, there were other rumors: “This widowed sister-in-law and brother-in-law live under the same roof, will it be possible (to hook up)? What happened?”

“Jiang Nian is beautiful, although she is thirty-five, he looks thirty at most, Xiao Zheng is young and energetic, and he has been with Jiang Nian all year-round, it's hard to say!”

” Doesn't Xiao Zheng have a girlfriend?”

“The last time at Shen Quan's birthday party, Xiao Zheng's girlfriend also went there. I heard that she left crying. It seems that she said something to Jiang Nian that she shouldn't have said.”

After Jiang Nian heard the rumors about her and Xiao Zheng, she knew that some of these scandals were definitely because of Guo Xiuyu. She probably wanted to pressure her using public opinion and make her forced to reconcile with Jiang Tao and go to Jiang's house. When she returns to Jiang's house, they will take ahold of everything in her hand bit by bit.

Jiang Nian snorted, this is probably what Guo Xiuyu and Yang Hai discussed to deal with her. She originally wanted to go to Guo Xiuyu to chat, but now she doesn't mind stirring the muddy waters further.

She was never afraid of criticism, but she didn't know if Jiang Tao would get a heart attack when he saw this photo.

Jiang Nian was totally fine, these words couldn't hurt her at all. The old lady heard the rumors, and she was so angry that she couldn't eat anymore. She dragged Jiang Nian to persuade her not to listen to the nonsense of outsiders. It's nothing. Outsiders can't stand their home being prosperous! “These people, when our family is in trouble, they watch a good show and laugh at us. When our family is healed, they start talking about some things that are not good. They hope we don't fall into anything good, and they want us dying and being thrown into hell!”

Only Xiao Zheng was a little scared as well as vaguely excited. He didn't dare to tell Jiang Nian his feelings, but made sure that the rumors between them would reach Jiang Nian's ears through other people's mouths, as if letting her know that he liked her and that being together with her was an extravagant hope.

… After work, Xiao Zheng rushed back and found Jiang Nian: “Sister-in-law…”

Jiang Nian waved her hand indifferently: “Don't worry, I won't take it seriously.” Seeing that he hid so hard, she was too embarrassed to expose it.

Xiao Zheng's eyes dimmed: “…Oh, that's good.” 

Jiang Nian touched her chin and began to think that she really should move, it's a problem to live in Xiao's house all the time.

It happened that she was so rich, she could buy another small house and support a little handsome guy for a lifetime! It could be considered that she wanted to make up for the things she did not complete in her last life.

… The Xiao family was still peaceful, but Guo Xiuyu's situation was not very good. She was still waiting to see Jiang Nian's good show, she had been bullied by Jiang Nian for so long, and just thinking of the other's ugly face makes her happy.

However, she could not wait for Jiang Nian to be unlucky but faced the angry Jiang Tao, who should have come back from the company on purpose, first. He angrily rushed in front of her, raised his hand, and slapped her mercilessly: “Bitch, look at what you have done! What is your relationship with Yang Hai? When did you hook up?”

Rather than saying that Jiang Tao was angry because he was betrayed, he was even angrier because what Guo Xiuyu and Yang Hai made him lose face. One is his wife, and the other is his partner and brother for many years. The piece of land that the two of them won together a few days ago caused so much talk, who doesn't know about it?

Now that this happened, he not only lost face, but also caused the company's shares to plummet, and several investments that were negotiated before were also withdrawn! Not only his company, but Yang Hai's situation was probably worse than his. The investment of those people also depends on the situation. The two people who cooperated have changed from brothers and partners to rivals in love. Can this work be done well? They'll probably be making a mess in the back! Originally, Yang Hai could barely stand under Xiao Zheng's attack. After the public opinion became in turmoil, the stock market directly fell by several hundred million, and the company fell into an extremely serious financial crisis.

Yang Hai probably didn't expect that he would end up like this after one meeting with Guo Xiuyu. The key is that although he was close to Guo Xiuyu, they really didn't do anything, but probably no one would believe it.

Guo Xiuyu didn't even expect this, she was so careful, and even changed to a date spot she had never been to, why was she still found out? Unless…unless someone has been following her! Was it Jiang Nian?

Of course, the most important thing right now is to appease Jiang Tao. She was explaining painstakingly when Jiang Nian, who hasn't set foot in the Jiang family for ten years, suddenly returned!

Jiang Nian asked her with a cold face: “Ms. Guo Xiuyu, why are you having an affair? Do you dislike my father's old age?”

Jiang Tao looked at Guo Xiuyu suspiciously.

Guo Xiuyu: “…!!!”

Guo Xiuyu is ten years younger than Jiang Tao and a few years younger than Yang Hai. Jiang Tao is fifty-eight this year. Although he is in good spirits, his hair is white and his face is full of wrinkles. He is really old; compared with Guo Xiuyu, who is in her forties but has not changed much from her youthful self because of a lot of plastic surgeries, there is indeed a difference of more than ten years. He thought it didn't matter, but apparently, it did.

Facing Jiang Tao's skeptical gaze, Guo Xiuyu shook her head frantically: “I met Yang Hai because I was worried about your father and daughter's quarrel. I was so sad at that time. Yang Hai only comforted me when he saw me crying. It's a misunderstanding!”

Jiang Tao doubted: “Really?”

Guo Xiuyu affirmed: “Of course it is true.”

Jiang Nian said: “Do you need to pull the curtains up for simple comfort? I think you are guilty of

some other thing.”

Guo Xiuyu looked at her husband, and as expected, the suspicion in his eyes was indeed heavier than before, “Jiang Nian, I am your elder, no matter what you do, I don't need you to teach me a lesson. You should ask yourself, for so many days, you have been asking for gifts, and I have given you tens of million yuan worth of presents, why don't you have any intention of reconciling with your father? Are you just trying to cheat your father for money? Because you still remember what happened before, so you came back for revenge! ”

Jiang Nian shook her head: “Ms. Guo Xiuyu, have you forgotten that the Jiang family has the shares left to me by my mother, and I am the legal heir. Your 10 million worth of gifts are not enough for my annual dividend, if I'm really just here to cheat money, I can just get back the shares I deserve, even if it's just a little bit, it's more than your ten million.”

Guo Xiuyu was stunned for a while, not knowing how to refute Jiang Nian, because what she said was reasonable.

Jiang Tao nodded in agreement, looking at Guo Xiuyu with guard and suspicion.

Guo Xiuyu was furious. She had been vigilant all her life, but she lost to Jiang Nian! Why didn't she starve her to death?
