Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 271 - 9: The Disabled Tycoon’s Ex-Wife Refuses to Be a Scapegoat (9)
Jiang Lai’s words were effective; just now, Father Jiang, who was determined to discipline his daughter, immediately calmed down.
"Really? Where did you get this information?"
"If you have the time, you’d better get going. Let me see... If you leave now, you can make it before the ribbon-cutting ceremony ends."
Father Jiang frowned, hesitated for a few seconds, then picked up his clothes. After instructing Jiang’s mother, he looked helplessly at Jiang Han, turned, and left.
As soon as Father Jiang left, Jiang Lai walked up to Jiang Han, looking at her through a layer of glass with her resentful eyes.
"If I were you, I would take the stuff and never appear before us again. I only have one sister now, and that’s Jiang Ruantian, got it?"
After saying this, Jiang Lai picked up her bag and left, ignoring Jiang’s mother’s attempts to intervene.
Once out the door, Jiang Ruantian quickly followed.
"Sis, Jiang Han probably realizes her mistake. Mom isn’t in good health; just forgive Jiang Han and let mom rest earlier."
Jiang Lai glanced at her indifferently, then put on sunglasses, turned around, and walked over to Jiang’s mother, holding her arm.
"Mom, there are already plenty of reporters outside. If Jiang Han goes out at this time, won’t everyone learn about our family’s scandal? Don’t worry, she stole so much money from me. I planned to use it to buy you a birthday gift, which is why I’m so angry. You know my temper; if I don’t let her stay here for two or three days, I won’t be able to swallow this anger."
After saying that, Jiang Lai spoke in a low, coquettish voice.
"Mom, I’m willing to reconcile today, but from now on, I don’t want to see Jiang Han at home again."
Jiang’s mother sighed deeply, her hand clenching her bag tightly.
She was utterly disappointed with Jiang Han, never expecting the daughter she’d raised for so many years would do something so disgraceful.
"Fine, open the door and let Han Han out first. Let her go out after the reporters outside leave."
The lesson was almost given. Jiang Lai signed the reconciliation paper and released Jiang Han, watching the fake mother-daughter pair embrace in tears. Even looking at Jiang Ruantian on the side, though smiling at the corners of her mouth, the shadow in her eyes was undeniable.
Jiang Lai loved watching these scenes; before leaving, she couldn’t help but throw out one more line.
"Ah, it seems Mom and Dad still can’t let go of Jiang Han."
Knowing the future, Jiang Ruantian really cared about Father Jiang and Jiang’s mother’s attitude towards her. Jiang Lai’s words were like adding fuel to the fire for her, yet she still smiled indifferently.
"After all, Han Han has lived with you all for so many years; I just didn’t expect your relationships to be so terrible."
"I’m against actions, not people. Don’t end up like Jiang Han, always coveting things that don’t belong to her."
After saying this, Jiang Lai got in the car and left, completely ignoring the reporters outside taking frantic photos.
Jiang Ruantian remained silent for a long time.
The Jiang Lai in front of her seemed slightly different from the dream; after all, even in the dream, her end wasn’t great. After divorcing Mo Zhoujing, she wanted to return to the Jiang Family, but by then, Jiang Han already had a firm grip on the Jiang Family. It seemed Jiang Lai was just a paper tiger with a tough exterior but weak inside. Her biggest enemy now was still Jiang Han.
Looking back, the current happenings differed slightly from the dream; in the dream, there was no event of Jiang Lai calling the police to arrest Jiang Han. This was the first time the events deviated from the dream’s path.
Turning around, the just-released Jiang Han knelt directly in front of Jiang’s mother, grabbing her hand and crying tearfully, exploiting the remaining nurturing affection Jiang’s mother had for her, apologizing and lamenting pitifully.
As expected, Jiang’s mother quickly gave in, embracing Jiang Han and weeping together.
Clearly, their crying wasn’t only about Jiang Han’s imprisonment but also about this hard-to-accept surprise.
The more they cried now, the more it showed their emotional ties had long firmly rooted in their hearts.
Thinking about her own future outcome, Jiang Ruantian felt a twinge of nerves like never before. Jiang Lai’s hatred towards Jiang Han might be helpful; maybe she could use their enmity to deal with her future concerns.

After leaving the police station, Jiang Lai went straight to the school, arranging accommodations for Lu Yao and Bai Qiao on the way, providing treatment completely on par with popular first-line stars.
Having not attended class for a long time, Jiang Lai suddenly appeared in the classroom, drawing frequent glances and whispers from her classmates.
Even the teacher was a bit surprised, but after maintaining order, continued the lesson.
After the morning class ended, several girls proactively approached Jiang Lai to ask.
"Do you want to go to the auditorium to listen to a lecture? I heard the chairman of the Hang Yuan Group is coming personally. Maybe we can join Hang Yuan in the future."
This time, another girl smiled.
"Does Jiang Lai even need to go to Hang Yuan? As soon as she graduates, she gets a job. Whereas, we graduate and become unemployed, you know?"
"Hasn’t Jiang Lai been busy setting up a company recently? She must be too busy to attend a lecture in the auditorium."
Hearing the girls’ envious and obsequious tone, Jiang Lai packed her backpack.
"Sure, I have nothing to do anyway, so let’s go have a look."
After saying this, Jiang Lai stood up to leave, without any intention of walking with them.
The girls followed behind, whispering.
"Did you see that pink little wallet on her? It’s the new edition from early spring this year, just a palm-sized piece that costs over two hundred thousand, and only members of the million-dollar club have the qualification to buy one."
"Hey, do you think she just has such a good life? Her dad is the president of a listed company, no need to fight for the inheritance, directly inherits the family business, and she’s beautiful too..."
"What’s the use of being rich and beautiful? Didn’t you hear? It seems she’s close with a guy from the accounting department. The boy’s family is wealthy but not as much as Jiang Lai’s family, so who knows what Jiang Lai sees in him."
"I heard the two were childhood sweethearts. Back when the Jiang Family wasn’t well off, they were close with the boy’s family, but later the Jiang Family developed too fast, and that family slowly declined. Even if Jiang Lai likes him, her dad probably wouldn’t agree, for such people, it’s all about powerful alliances and business marriages."
They were having a lively discussion.
Listening to Little Buding’s relay in front, Jiang Lai enjoyed it as if listening to someone else’s story.
"Childhood sweethearts?"
Jiang Lai had some impression of this childhood sweetheart; in the original plot, she didn’t shy away from turning against the Jiang Family for this family-fallen childhood sweetheart.
Thinking this through, at the auditorium entrance, she saw a familiar figure.
White shirt, blue jeans, wearing canvas shoes, earphones on, standing outside looking like he was waiting for someone. When he turned around, he revealed a fair and gentle face.
"Oh, he’s actually quite good-looking."
Little Buding had learned bad habits from Jiang Lai, not interested in looking at women, just liked looking at men.
Jiang Lai was indifferent.
"Feeble and weak as a straw chicken, not my type."
Jiang Lai’s preferences were distinct—tall and robust men. This childhood sweetheart before her was no different from a walking stick in her eyes, and when the stick turned and greeted her, Jiang Lai even had the urge to give him a kick.
