Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 287 - 25: The Disabled Tycoon’s Ex-Wife Refuses to Be a Scapegoat (25)
"She’s still your biological sister; you didn’t even try to stop her! Just watched her do something foolish!"
After all, these are people from the elite circles. If it gets out that the family’s daughter, despite having a fiancé, hopped into a car with an old man with a limp, where does that leave the Jiang Family’s reputation?
Jiang Lai would never offer help at a critical time or add flowers to the brocade; she’d only add fuel to the fire. Seeing Zhao Sili come out to look for someone, Jiang’s mother wanted to help make excuses, but Jiang Lai directly shut her down.
"Mr. Mo just mentioned he wasn’t feeling well. Since my sister is so hospitable, what’s there to cover up? Brother-in-law, what do you think? Would such a generous brother-in-law care about such a small matter?"
Zhao Sili, who was always polite and courteous, couldn’t maintain his smile this time and asked Jiang Lai with a hint of disbelief.
"Who were you talking about just now? Mr. Mo? What does Ruan Tian have to do with Mr. Mo?"
"The two of them just left in the same car. Oh, you’d better go to Mr. Mo’s house right now to wait. Otherwise, Jiang Ruantian will have to walk back by herself."
Zhao Sili’s smile was gone. Even if he had no feelings for Jiang Ruantian, it was impossible for him to pretend as if nothing happened after knowing she got into another man’s car.
"Aunt Jiang, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going first. I’ll contact Ruan Tian alone when she gets back."
After speaking, Zhao Sili left with a blank expression, leaving Jiang’s mother glaring at Jiang Lai in anger.
"Is this how you treat your own sister?"
"Why? What did I say wrong? Mom, if she cared, she wouldn’t have left with Mo Zhoujing in front of everyone. She knows exactly what she’s doing."
Jiang’s mother let out a heavy sigh.
"Great, if your dad finds out about this, he’ll be furious!"
"Not necessarily."
With Mo Zhoujing’s favorable conditions, given Father Jiang’s disposition, if he can marry Jiang Ruantian to him, he might even burst into laughter.
And Jiang Lai is eagerly waiting for that day.
The alliance between the Jiang and Mo Families has benefits for her too. As long as she’s not the one getting married, Jiang Lai wouldn’t mind personally helping Jiang Ruantian onto Mo Zhoujing’s bed.
Little Buding was the first to notice something amiss.
"Why do I feel like you’re enjoying the spectacle and don’t mind the chaos this time? Are you eager to match Jiang Ruantian with Mo Zhoujing?"
Jiang Lai raised an eyebrow.
"What’s wrong with me matching the heroine and hero? Is there a more dedicated scapegoat in the world than me?"
Little Buding noticed the mischievous look on Jiang Lai’s face and boldly guessed.
"Did you drug Mo Zhoujing’s drink?"
"What nonsense are you talking? Be careful, I’ll sue you for slander! I didn’t do anything; I just saw something and didn’t warn him."
Little Buding was puzzled, wondering what good it would do Jiang Lai if Jiang Ruantian ended up with Mo Zhoujing.
"Think about it. Jiang Financial is about to be established. If Jiang Ruantian marries Mo Zhoujing now, do you know how much Jiang Financial’s stock price will rise? When the time comes, with one buy and sell, do you know how much money I can make?"
"Tch tch tch, Jiang Lai, you really have a mercenary look now. You’d even exploit your dad’s company for profit."
Jiang Lai remained indifferent, even somewhat expectant.
"Mo Zhoujing needs a wife to silence those in his family. I’m now giving him a wife, letting him make some money for me in the process, what’s wrong with that?"
As far as enemies are concerned, if they help her make money, then they’re the best in the world!
After one night, Jiang Ruantian took a cab home by herself.
Jiang Lai exceptionally stayed home all night, waiting for Jiang Ruantian to come home with good news.
Sure enough, seeing her suppressing a happy expression as she got out of the car, Jiang Lai knew the plan had succeeded.
Seeing Jiang Lai at the door, Jiang Ruantian tried to control her smile but couldn’t hide her victorious stance in her eyes.
"Why are you still at home?"
Jiang Lai wouldn’t bother with the trivialities now and smilingly asked her.
"Isn’t this me waiting for you to tell me when the wedding feast is?"
Jiang Ruantian’s face turned red; although delighted inside, hearing it from Jiang Lai made her feel stifled.
It was as if everything was under her control, and all her meticulous plans meant nothing to Jiang Lai.
"I don’t understand what you’re talking about."
"That’s fine, it’s okay if you don’t understand. As long as you can comprehend the rest, that’s sufficient."
After saying that, Jiang Lai yawned, grabbed her bag, gave a casual greeting to Jiang’s mother in the living room, and walked away.
Having confirmed everything, she could now go home and wait to collect the money.
Mike, having just returned to the country, sought out Jiang Lai as soon as possible. During this time, following Jiang Lai, he made a considerable amount of money. Recently, the company they co-founded was nearing a stable phase. Mike, who usually worked solo, now consulted Jiang Lai about any situation in advance. Hearing Jiang Lai planning to buy a substantial amount of Jiang Financial’s stock under their company’s name, Mike knew Jiang Lai was up to something.
"Even though the company is your dad’s, it’s clear even to me that Jiang Financial’s stock price is currently high. If we buy now, wouldn’t it be too risky?"
"It won’t be, because it’s about to rise."
"Oh? You’re so sure the stock price will rise?"
Jiang Lai leisurely opened a can of beer for herself, and then tossed one to Mike.
"You just follow my advice and buy in large quantities. Plus, I’m planning to invest in a medical equipment company soon; you’ll have to make an investment under our company’s name by then."
"Medical equipment company? Is it for the Los Angeles pharmaceutical company’s bidding? Then what’s the point of just investing? At least under your name, you’d need to own a medical equipment company to qualify for the bid."
Jiang Lai took a sip of beer and squinted at Mike.
"Do as I say, we will soon own a medical equipment company."
"Every time you give me that look, I know someone is about to lose out."
Soon, Jiang Lai’s 150 million investment went directly into Tao Xin Medical’s account. Tao Xinzhu mortgaged 3% of his company shares to Jiang Lai, with the terms of redeeming the shares if the money is repaid within three months.
Just as Tao Xinzhu was preparing to purchase a batch of new instruments, another foreign investment company suddenly extended an olive branch, offering five billion investment for a part in Tao Xin Medical’s operation rights.
With the additional investment secured, Tao Xinzhu felt more assured in his actions. He not only used the investment funds but even took the initiative to seek bank loans, gathering a total of one billion to lavishly purchase the latest foreign medical equipment technology, prepared to start a grand venture. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Witnessing Tao Xinzhu’s prowess in securing so many investments, Mr. Tao immediately gave him the shares he originally promised upon his graduation.
