Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 299 - 37: The Disabled Tycoon’s Ex-Wife Refuses to Be a Scapegoat (37)
In that moment, even Tao Xinzhu, with his dull mind, finally realized what was happening.
Why would Jiang Lai voluntarily offer to invest in him? Why would she take initiative to help connect him with foreign medical companies?
First, lure him with small money to get him hooked, then let others use big money to trick him into investing more, all while secretly investing in other medical companies behind his back.
In the end, two companies, one gave her profits, the other gave her shares.
Tao Xinzhu’s eyes were red, and he clenched his fists tightly, repeating again and again.
"It was Jiang Lai, it was Jiang Lai!!"
Mo Zhoujing’s expression was grave.
"What exactly is she trying to do?"
"Mr. Mo, Mr. Mo, why are you telling me this?"
Now, Tao Xinzhu was acting cautiously, knowing that the people in front of him were wolves in sheep’s clothing, ready to drag him into an abyss at any careless moment.
Mo Zhoujing looked outside and spoke in a low voice.
"She has a lot of guts, daring to use the same trick against me."
"Did you also suffer losses because of her?"
"Suffered greatly."
If Jiang Lai was behind all this, then it made sense that he lost hundreds of millions early on, leading to insufficient funds in the later bid for the South City land, and the project he had in hand being snatched away.
Also, Jiang’s Architecture was involved in the South City project. Mo Zhoujing was now certain that Jiang Lai was the one causing trouble behind the scenes.
Tao Xinzhu was not as composed. He clenched his fists, gritting his teeth like an enraged bull, growling lowly.
"So it’s all Jiang Lai! I trusted her so much and treated her so well, yet she wanted to annex our Tao Family’s business!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"That’s how it is in business; everyone acts for profit. She has the capability and audacity, and even if it wasn’t her, other companies would eventually annex your Tao Xin Medical."
Tao Xinzhu refused to listen. He only felt hatred—hating himself for being foolish, hating Jiang Lai for being cunning. Decades of friendship were trampled underfoot by her!
Because of her, he’d been living like a ghost, even contemplating suicide countless times.
She just wanted to drive him to his doom!
The next morning, the Jiang River cruise had docked, and the gangway was laid with a bright red carpet for guests who were all prominent figures from the capital.
The entrance by the Jiang River had been blocked off. Originally a scenic spot, today it had been exclusively reserved by the Jiang Family for entertaining guests.
Jiang’s mother, always wanting to save face, had invited all her friends to the banquet, as it was not only the day of Jiang Family’s establishment of Jiang Financial, but also her fiftieth birthday.
Local customs dictate that turning a decade, especially fifty, should be celebrated grandly, so guests came bearing gifts, showing their invitations as they entered one by one.
Jiang Ruantian arrived with Mo Zhoujing. The man was in a wheelchair ahead, while Jiang Ruantian followed, wearing a grass-green satin gown that revealed her good figure once she took off her coat.
She glanced around but couldn’t see any sign of Tao Xinzhu.
Just then, Jiang Han arrived as well, arm in arm with Zhao Sili.
Jiang Ruantian couldn’t help but smirk inwardly; a scumbag and a bitch, truly a perfect match.
Yet Jiang Han remained calm and even brought Zhao Sili over to say hello.
Zhao Sili had come specifically for Mo Zhoujing. His current job in an investment bank recently collaborated with Mo Zhoujing’s company, and a vacancy for an Investment General Manager was open. Securing a good relationship with Mo Zhoujing at this banquet could ensure the position would be his.
Jiang Han pulled Jiang Ruantian aside.
"Didn’t you say you had a plan? What’s the plan? I heard from Zhao Sili that Dad plans to announce the heir today and intends to hand Jiang Financial over to Jiang Lai."
"What’s the rush? I’ve arranged everything; when the time comes, just do as I say."
Jiang Han looked cautious.
"Tell me clearly now, or I won’t do it."
"Soon, this cruise will set from Jiang River into the sea. It’s very difficult to find someone if they disappear at sea."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Han’s eyes widened in shock, and her breath stopped.
"Are you going to kill..."
"I’m just creating an accident. If anything happens to Jiang Lai, it would be her own choice, nothing to do with me."
Jiang Han began to fear. She thought Jiang Ruantian only intended to embarrass Jiang Lai and gain some personal advantage.
She didn’t expect her to be so ruthless as to want to harm Jiang Lai!
"I can’t do it. If I’m discovered, I’m doomed. I’m out."
Though she’s no longer a daughter of the Jiang Family, at least she still has the property and shares they gave her.
If she harmed Jiang Lai and was found out, she would lose everything and spend a lifetime in prison!
Jiang’s parents wouldn’t spare her either.
Jiang Lai is their everything!
Jiang Ruantian looked at the timid, cowardly Jiang Han with disdain.
"You just need to help me with a few tasks, and I’ll take the responsibility in the end. Don’t worry, I guarantee no one will find out."
As they were discussing, a voice suddenly startled Jiang Han, causing her to drop her wine glass to the ground.
It was Tao Xinzhu.
Jiang Han looked at the two standing before her. Being shrewd, she couldn’t miss the shady dealings between them.
"You... you guys..."
Tao Xinzhu smiled, but his eyes were cold and sinister.
"Ruantian must have told you the plan, right? You won’t work for nothing. After it’s done, you’ll get a ten percent share of the Jiang Family’s stocks. Think about how much dividends that ten percent can bring you each year?
Once Jiang Lai inherits the Jiang Family, what you have now, she won’t leave you with any of it."
At that moment, Tao Xinzhu even offered a recording pen.
"I’ve recorded our conversation just now. With this, we have leverage against each other, and we’re in the same boat."
Jiang Han was tempted, but she was puzzled why Jiang Ruantian chose Tao Xinzhu, and their relationship seemed odd, as if Jiang Ruantian was being threatened, her smile appearing forced.
After convincing Jiang Han, Jiang Ruantian was about to leave when Tao Xinzhu grabbed her wrist.
Even though they were at the corner, there were eyes everywhere, and Jiang Ruantian quickly tried to shake her hand free.
"What are you doing? There are people here!"
"What haven’t we done before? I’m telling you, behave, or I’ll release the video and see how Mo Zhoujing will deal with you!"
"Tao Xinzhu, you bastard! I genuinely liked you, yet you treat me like this! Let me go!"
Tao Xinzhu sneered menacingly.
He had completely lost his sanity. As long as he could get revenge, as long as he could seize the Jiang Family, there was nothing he wouldn’t do.
