Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 268 - 6: The Disabled Tycoon’s Ex-Wife Refuses to Be a Scapegoat (6)
Even though it’s just a small subsidiary under the Jiang Family, it was Father Jiang’s painstaking effort, and now Jiang Lai sold it without reason and without consulting him in advance!
Jiang Lai, however, remained calm.
"I already said I’d tell you in the study later."
"Say it right here!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lai put down his chopsticks and looked at Father Jiang.
"I gave the money to a foreign investor and collaborated with him to invest in a new project."
"A foreign investor? Who?"
"Dad, since you gave me the company, it belongs to me now. How to manage it is my business; you don’t need to worry so much."
"You... you..."
At this point, Jiang’s mother spoke up appropriately.
"That’s exactly how it is; you gave her the company, so why worry about how she manages it? It’s okay if she loses some money and learns a lesson. Unlike you, scolding your daughter over a company that almost went bankrupt, besides, wasn’t Lai’s previous investment making money?"
Having a mother who always sides with her daughter regardless of the situation makes it understandable why the original character became so capricious and eventually became a pawn.
However, Jiang Lai quite liked her, picking up his bag and walking directly to Jiang’s mother, leaning down to kiss her cheek.
"When I make money, I’ll buy you big jewelry!"
This sentence made Jiang’s mother so delighted as if the jewelry was already being worn.
Father Jiang was bitterly disappointed, too angry to eat.
"Just keep spoiling her! Let’s see what she’ll become being spoiled like this!"
On the side, Ruan Tian watched the interaction among the three of them, feeling an inexplicable bitterness in her heart.
They were just sitting here having dinner as a family of three, and despite her careful efforts to maintain and please, the moment Jiang Lai appeared, the attention of the two old folks immediately shifted entirely to Jiang Lai.
Ruan Tian also figured out that Jiang Lai just made a mistake by selling off the stocks the entire company had invested in externally. Father Jiang looked furious, but he wasn’t really intent on reprimanding Jiang Lai, and Jiang’s mother was blatantly biased without distinction.
It makes one wonder if Jiang Han was also pampered and favored by Father Jiang and Jiang’s mother without boundaries when she was in this family.
In comparison, no matter what she did, their attitude towards her was always polite and distant.
She suddenly lost her appetite.
How could a sister like this be someone Father Jiang would ask her to learn from?
Once the Jiang Family is handed over to her, it’s only a matter of time before it goes bankrupt.
With the events in her dream becoming a reality, Ruan Tian felt as if she had lived another life, becoming extremely cautious and sensitive.
Since she already knew everything that would happen next, this time she must plan well for her future, never allowing herself to end up like in the dream, never gaining true acceptance from Jiang’s father and Jiang’s mother, while being trampled underfoot by a fake daughter Jiang Han unable to rise.
Zhao Sili’s phone call came again, inviting her for dinner.
"I’m sorry, I have classes tomorrow and can’t go out for dinner."
"No worries, I’ll wait for you after class to pick you up."
Ruan Tian silently pursed her lips, recalling what he did to her in the dream, feelings of hatred and resentment surged in her heart.
Zhao Sili was nothing like the perfect image he presented, and once Ruan Tian knew, she found him repulsive.
But now, having calmed down, she realized that directly falling out with Zhao Sili at this time would do no good for her. It would not only disappoint Father Jiang and make it difficult for her to establish a foothold in the Jiang Family, but since she knew the outcome in advance, what was there to fear?
Since he still wants to deceive her this time, then let’s see, why should she always be the one being bullied? This time, she will seize all the initiative and let Zhao Sili taste the feeling of betrayal.

After signing Lu Yao, Jiang Lai spent a lot more money to assign him and the newly recruited female star a top-notch agent.
Laile Entertainment Media Company was officially inaugurated, with only two artists under its wing, Lu Yao and Bai Qiao, both just entering the industry as unknown figures, but because they signed with a wealthy media company, they each received a script on the night of the signing, one for a TV drama and another for a movie.
After arranging for these two stars, Bai Qiao cherished this hard-won opportunity, continuously thanking Jiang Lai, and immersed herself in studying the script once she received it. Although the role was only the third female lead, it was much better compared to her previous resources.
Lu Yao followed Jiang Lai’s car back to the apartment.
Arriving at the apartment according to his address, Jiang Lai glanced at Lu Yao while looking at this small apartment with its shabby main door.
"Is living here convenient for you?"
"It’s quite convenient, close to the subway, just an hour to get to the company by subway."
"An hour? Too long. Don’t waste your time on commuting. I’ll have someone arrange a new place for you tomorrow. You don’t have to worry about anything, just focus on acting and making money for me."
Unlike his stage costume when they first met, Lu Yao wore a simple white hoodie paired with black casual pants today, wearing sneakers young men love, looking like an ungraduated college student. Standing tall at six feet three, he was sunny and handsome, making Jiang Lai want to drool, but as a boss, an ethical boss, Jiang Lai hadn’t fallen to that extent yet.
Lu Yao seemed to sense the unusual look in Jiang Lai’s eyes, showing not much nervousness, instead just smiling a bit.
"Are you so sure I can make money for you?"
"Whether you make money doesn’t matter, as long as I’m happy, it’s fine."
When Lu Yao laughs, he reveals two white canine teeth, making Jiang Lai want to reach out and touch them.
"Then I’m really lucky to have met a good boss."
"Yes, I know, no need to remind me repeatedly that I’m a good boss, rest assured."
Jiang Lai knew Lu Yao wanted to seize this opportunity but didn’t wish to sacrifice his dignity to be taken advantage of, so he kept repeating Jiang Lai was a good boss, hoping to awaken Jiang Lai’s conscience and sense of shame.
Jiang Lai didn’t say much, just found it amusing, and let the driver directly take her to a quiet bar.
On the rooftop, looking at the dazzling cityscape ahead, Jiang Lai took a sip of beer.
"I said, I believe in my intuition, and I believe in your ability."
Mike looked at her, smiling thoughtfully. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"You’re different from any other Eastern women I’ve met, even more ambitious and bold than a man. At first, when you came to me, I thought you were like other company heads, wanting to talk about collaboration. I didn’t expect you wanted to poach me."
"What’s wrong? Aren’t you a hyena? This deal doesn’t harm you; I provide the investment, take on the risk, and all you have to do is to act as my front and spend the money."
