Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 279 - 17: The Disabled Tycoon’s Ex-Wife Refuses to Be a Scapegoat (17)
"I understand, I’ve already dealt with her and have some understanding of her temperament."
After acquiring Leigou Network, he diligently investigated for a long time, but didn’t find any information about that foreign investor.
Mo Zhoujing could confirm that it wasn’t any of the people in the family causing trouble, so if that’s the case, he could think of things in a simpler way.
He thought of the foreign investor who also knew something about Hang Yuan, Mike.
Following the clues, he discovered quite a bit of evidence of the close relationship between Jiang Lai and Mike.
Moreover, during the acquisition, Jiang Lai also participated in the bidding for Leigou Network. But Leigou Network was of no use to the Jiang Family, so how could Jiang Lai not know? The only reason was that she did it on purpose, deliberately trying to inflate the bidding price to make him suffer a loss.
Since it was Jiang Lai who raised the prices in the first wave, why couldn’t it be her again in the second and third waves? 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Initially, Mo Zhoujing never suspected Jiang Lai because he didn’t think she had enough money to fight a price war with him.
But as he dug deeper into Mike’s affairs, he found that the usually acquisition-focused predator Mike had recently been investing in some projects with exceptionally high returns. These projects had a common feature: they weren’t initially favored but quickly grew at a frightening pace, with returns multiplying a thousandfold.
Mo Zhoujing had a bold idea: if all of Mike’s investments were related to Jiang Lai, then the money Jiang Lai used to wage a price war against him could be easily explained.
If that’s the case, Jiang Lai is indeed a troublesome competitor.
In that case, Mo Zhoujing wanted to try a different approach to deal with this competitor.
Looking at Father Jiang in front of him, although they were father and daughter, this father’s courage and foresight were nowhere near his daughter’s.
"In any case, my sincerity is here, the decision is in your hands."
"It doesn’t matter if I agree or not. If Lai Lai doesn’t agree, I can’t make her."
After all, as a father, he was still receiving benefits from his daughter.
The benefits Mr. Mo offered weren’t more than what Jiang Lai could give at once, and if it weren’t for being intimidated by his power, Father Jiang would have left long ago instead of wasting time with him.
"I apologize, Mr. Mo. I understand your eagerness to get married, but there are plenty of good girls out there. With your conditions, to put it jokingly, even marrying the president’s daughter would be more than sufficient. There’s really no need to waste time on Jiang Lai, she truly doesn’t deserve you."
Sorry, daughter, as a father, I’m helpless too.
Mo Zhoujing raised his eyes and looked coldly at Father Jiang in front of him.
"So you’re rejecting me?"
"I..."
At this time, Jiang Ruantian interjected before Father Jiang could speak.
"My sister already has someone she likes, Mr. Mo, please let her go."
Father Jiang was stunned.
When did she have someone she liked? How could he not know but the younger daughter did?
Jiang Ruantian was a bit nervous but still pretended to be calm.
"Mr. Mo, please don’t make things difficult for my sister and father. If you really need a nominal wife, I can marry you."
Her expression was filled with some stoicism and determination, as if she had made a mental preparation for a resolute life-or-death decision.
Father Jiang quickly held down Jiang Ruantian’s hand, his eyes full of discontent.
What nonsense was this girl saying!
Was Mo Zhoujing someone you could casually joke around with!
With that statement, the entire room fell silent. After a while, Mo Zhoujing slightly curled his lips.
Seeing this, Jiang Ruantian felt a little joy, but before she could savor it, she heard the man’s cold, emotionless voice.
"You think I’m a junk collector here?"
A simple sentence, like an ice-cold knife, unexpectedly pierced Jiang Ruantian’s heart, making her body stiff, hands and feet cold. The immense disappointment and shame left her not knowing how to react, and she could only stare blankly at Mo Zhoujing’s face, eyes glistening with tears.
Seeing this, Father Jiang frowned tightly and slammed the table hard.
"Mr. Mo, what do you mean by this?! Ruantian is my daughter! What do you take her for?"
Mo Zhoujing’s gaze was hostile, revealing his true nature upon deal failure.
"The Jiang Family’s profit last year was only seventy billion, and how is your decline going? You should consider my conditions and reply to me later, today was a pleasant chat."
After saying this, the assistant directly escorted Mo Zhoujing away.
On the way back, Jiang Ruantian remained silent, gaze lowered, without any expression.
Father Jiang sighed beside her.
"I know you’re a good kid, and you’re doing this to prevent difficulty for me and your sister. I understand; you’ve done very well already."
Jiang Ruantian still said nothing.
After a long while, she quietly asked.
"Dad, why does Mr. Mo look down on me so much?"
"He’s blind. You’re still young; even if he agreed, I wouldn’t have. Don’t worry about it, I’ll handle this."
Father Jiang couldn’t gauge what she was truly thinking, assuming she wanted to relieve him from an awkward situation.
Only Jiang Ruantian truly knew how much she hoped to marry Mo Zhoujing. Regardless of whether he liked her now or not, as long as there was a chance to get close to him, she believed she could enter his heart.
Meanwhile, Little Buding had already completely broadcast the primary male and female protagonists’ first interaction to Jiang Lai.
"What’s going on? The male and female leads didn’t have a pleasant first meeting. Is the male lead setting himself up for a torturous courtship later?"
Little Buding didn’t understand.
Jiang Lai was still laughing, as if she had heard a good joke.
"That Mo Zhoujing doesn’t seem like someone with a lover’s mind."
Little Buding agreed.
"In the original plotline, he went to a nightclub for business, got drugged, and ended up being saved by the female lead, who chased away the women eyeing him, and eventually, the male lead couldn’t help but kiss her. When they almost got intimate, she ran away, but he still fell for her... Wait, how did a romance story become a business war because of you?"
"I’m doing business wars while they focus on romance, I’m not in their way."
"Mo Zhoujing was tricked by you for thirty billion, does he have the leisure to drink now? If he doesn’t drink, where does the female lead get the chance to approach him? How can these two jump to the next step?"
"It’s none of my business."
"Anyway, it’s none of my business."
After a busy day, Jiang Lai initially planned to head straight home to rest but suddenly remembered that she hadn’t visited her two money trees yet, so she asked the driver to turn around and head to the brokerage firm.
Lu Yao was dancing in the practice room, his youthful body paired with that handsome, broad-eyed face, Jiang Lai just couldn’t get enough of it, and instead of letting anyone interrupt, she quietly watched Lu Yao practice for nearly an hour from outside.
The sky outside had already turned dark, and as Lu Yao grabbed his bag to return to the apartment, he saw Jiang Lai sitting outside the door as soon as he stepped out.
