Face Slapping, Speechless

Jiang Yao took it and didn’t waste any time. He said bluntly, “Aunt, you can call my uncle if you’re unhappy with Qiao Nian.”

There was some silence.

Yuan Qing was rendered speechless.

She had tried to call Jiang Zongjin before she called Jiang Zongnan. Unfortunately, Jiang Zongjin refused to answer her call.

Yao Yu was squatting at the police station. She had no choice but to call Jiang Zongnan.

Jiang Yao knew his uncle’s temper very well. Everything else was fine, but he was rather domineering when it came to Qiao Nian.

He sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. Then, he slowly said to the person on the other end of the line, “You can call Qiao Nian directly if you can’t reach him.

“Didn’t you say that you don’t know how Qiao Nian bullied Yao Yu? You can ask her about it.”

“…” Yuan Qing couldn’t even afford to offend Jiang Zongjin, let alone Qiao Nian.

That fiend. Even if she had ten guts, she wouldn’t dare to call her. Moreover, she reckoned that the other party wouldn’t answer if she called.

Yuan Qing was put on the spot by his words. “I’m just worried about your cousin.”

Before she could finish, Jiang Yao interrupted her rudely. “If you’re really worried about him, ask him what he did when you got to the police station. Why did he have to turn himself in? This is much more useful than you calling my father now!”

After saying that, not wanting to waste time with her anymore, he said happily, “Aunt, that’s all. I still have something to tell my father. I’ll hang up first.”

Then, he hung up without giving Yuan Qing a chance to speak.

Jiang Yao returned the phone to Jiang Zongnan and said expressionlessly, “Dad, you should answer fewer calls from your aunt in the future. I think she’s getting more and more confused recently. She almost can’t figure out her surname.”

“Yes.” For the first time, Jiang Zongnan did not refute his eldest son’s words. He took the phone from him and nodded silently.

Yuan Qing’s surname was Yuan. At the end of the day, she was just a relative of Old Master Jiang.

He could tell the difference between a close relative and a distant relative.

It was not up to an outsider to accuse the family of being ill-bred even if they had split up.

Yuan Qing kept calling Qiao Nian uneducated.

What was the difference between that and saying that the Jiang family had no upbringing?

Jiang Yao frowned and walked to the sofa to sit down. He pursed his lips and thought for a moment before asking, “Dad, is Yao Yu related to Jiang Li’s injury?”

Jiang Zongnan subconsciously revealed a surprised expression. “Why would Yao Yu get involved in this matter?”

“Qiao Nian has always had the best relationship with Jiang Li. It’s impossible for her to cause trouble for Yao Yu for no reason…”

Jiang Yao couldn’t figure it out himself. Halfway through his sentence, he frowned again. “Forget it, it’s useless to talk about this now. I’ve already asked my friend to investigate. We’ll know what happened when we find out how Jiang Li fell.”

Jiang Yao got up again, picked up his things, and said before Jiang Zongnan could speak, “Dad, I’ll go upstairs first.”

“Go on.”

Jiang Zongnan waved his hand tiredly.

Jiang Yao went upstairs to his room without saying a word.

On the second floor.

Entering his room, he dug his phone out of his shirt and looked down.

He sent a message to Jiang Xianrou in the morning telling her about Jiang Li’s situation and asking if she could come back early.

She finally replied after a few hours.
