24 – Ji Hanyuan Arrives to Domineeringly Protect His Wife
The entrance to the lounge was surrounded by a dense crowd, layer upon layer.
Even the upper-class elites couldn’t escape human nature: they loved gossip and scandal.
They even… particularly enjoyed hearing about the secret scandals and shameful affairs of other families…
Just a few days ago, the affair of the Ji Family’s Third Master’s illegitimate child had caused quite a stir. It was said that Zhou Ruili’s baby had initially been saved.
But then… the Ji Family matriarch insisted on recognizing that illegitimate child from outside, and Ji Mingpeng completely followed the old lady’s arrangements, which infuriated Zhou Ruili so much that she suffered another massive hemorrhage, and the child was lost just like that.
While everyone was still passionately gossiping about the Ji Family’s affairs, waiting to see if the two families would completely break off and divorce, who would have thought that the Jiang Family’s engagement banquet would stir up such a huge scandal?!
The female lead’s younger sister, seducing her own sister’s fiancé right on the spot!
When the seduction failed, she flew into a rage and ended up violently beating her own brother-in-law!
When the sister came to catch them in the act, she was also beaten up by the younger sister!
Even though it sounded utterly unbelievable—a delicate woman actually beating up two people in a row, one of whom was a burly man!
But everyone saw it with their own eyes! The facts were right there in front of them!
Jiang Muze had been beaten so badly that he wasn’t acting normal anymore—a grown man, looking utterly disheveled, clinging to his mother, crying and shouting that he wanted to go home!
Tang Yingying was also in a sorry state, her makeup smeared all over her face!
And what about the other person?
Tang Jiaojiao herself was still sitting calmly on the sofa, eating fruit, her clothes neat and tidy, looking as beautiful as a flower. In fact, she seemed… even more lively and captivating than when she had first arrived…
The men at the scene couldn’t help but glance at her…
The socialites and noble ladies, seeing their own men openly staring at another woman, felt both sour and jealous! Naturally, they looked down even more on Tang Jiaojiao’s behavior and were convinced that she was nothing but a shameless woman trying to seduce her own brother-in-law!
“They’re both from the Tang Family. Even if it’s a small family, how can two sisters be so different?”
“Exactly! Yingying is so dignified and graceful. When I was chatting with her earlier, I thought Jiang Muze had great taste! Marrying such a virtuous wife and mother!”
“The older sister is so sensible, so how did the younger sister end up like this? She clearly knew it was her own sister’s engagement banquet, yet she dressed up like this to come? Isn’t it obvious she came to cause trouble?!”
“She even tried to seduce her own brother-in-law and then beat people up! She’s just a wanton shrew!”
“Mrs. Jiang, for someone like this, I suggest calling the police directly! Let her rot in jail!”
Hearing everyone’s comments, Zhao Xuefen and Tang Yingying exchanged a knowing smile.
Tang Yingying quickly hid the glee in her eyes, but inwardly, she was overjoyed!
She had thought that this Tang Jiaojiao, after surviving death once, had become strangely unpredictable! Not only was she no longer as easy to control as before, but she also resorted to violence at the drop of a hat!
Today, she even knew how to dress up so beautifully to crash the party! Clearly, she wasn’t as stupid and foolish as before!
But who would have thought? Even if Tang Jiaojiao’s brain had gained a little spark, what good did it do? She was still the same foolish and stupid idiot as before!
How dare she so blatantly try to seduce Jiang Muze and even beat them up? Wasn’t she just digging her own grave?!
Thankfully, her wise and clever mother had reminded her! And she had used her own intelligence to successfully turn Mrs. Jiang against Tang Jiaojiao!
This strategy of using someone else’s hand to eliminate the enemy was simply brilliant!
Today, she was determined to make Tang Jiaojiao suffer a crushing defeat!
She would even use the Jiang family’s influence to send Tang Jiaojiao straight to prison, then make her die silently inside!
At that moment, Mrs. Jiang, fiercely protective of her son, walked up to Tang Jiaojiao and raised her hand to slap her.
However, Tangtang firmly grabbed her wrist, rendering her entire hand immobile.
Mrs. Jiang widened her eyes in shock.
“How dare you! A mere little girl like you has such strength! So it really was you who beat my Muze!”
Tangtang naturally knew that Mrs. Jiang was deliberately testing her while also solidifying her guilt in front of everyone.
But she had acted with integrity and had nothing to fear!
If reasonable self-defense warranted imprisonment, then where was justice in this world?!
“I was the one who hit him!”
Tangtang forcefully flung Mrs. Jiang’s hand away, straightened her back, and glared coldly and fiercely at Mrs. Jiang, her voice brimming with authority.
“But why don’t you ask your son why I hit him?!”
Instantly, everyone was intimidated by Tangtang’s naturally fierce aura.
For a moment, they all fell into a mysterious silence, forgetting how to speak.
Hidden in the crowd, Lin Jiaran frowned tightly as she watched this scene.
Tang Jiaojiao… had she actually awakened?
When did she wake up…
How could she possibly wake up?!
No… Could it be that Jiang Muze never succeeded?!
Damn it!
She shouldn’t have left!
But still… even if her chastity remained intact, her reputation was thoroughly ruined today!
To have the audacity to openly admit to beating Jiang Muze—ha! What a fool!
Given the Jiang family’s methods, with her causing such a scene at their engagement banquet and beating Jiang Muze so badly, humiliating the Jiang family both internally and externally, how could they possibly let her off?!
Without Ji Hanyuan around, no one would protect her!
Moreover… once the Jiang family actually sent Tang Jiaojiao to the police station, how could Ji Hanyuan still like a woman so tainted?!
Instantly, Lin Jiaran felt confident of victory.
Any woman who stood in her way of becoming the Fourth Madam of the Ji Family, she would crush them all… one by one!
“Why you hit him—do I even need to ask? Ha!” Mrs. Jiang sneered, looking at Tangtang with utter contempt and disgust as she angrily scolded.
“Isn’t it because you, this slut, deliberately seduced him, and when you failed, you flew into a rage and attacked him?!”
“My Muze has manners and doesn’t hit women, unlike you! A bastard daughter from a minor family! A low-class wretch with no morals or upbringing!”
“Today, I must send you to prison, so you can spend the rest of your life atoning for what you’ve done!”
After finishing her tirade, Mrs. Jiang abruptly turned and called for the Jiang family’s bodyguards.
“Everyone! Get her! Restrain her now!”
“Yes, Madam!”
Just then, a voice as cold and sharp as if it could freeze everything in an instant suddenly rang out.
“I dare anyone to lay a hand on her!”
