Everyone was stunned. Ye Xiaoluo exclaimed in surprise, “Dad, what are you doing?”
They saw Ye Driver walk up to Jiang Yuxia, who was standing there with a cold expression. “Miss Jiang, my daughter is young and ignorant, causing such a ridiculous scene. I’m truly sorry.”
He bowed his head and pulled Ye Xiaoluo along to apologize.
However, Ye Xiaoluo refused, her face pale. “Dad, have you mistaken her for someone else? She’s the one who interfered with my relationship with Huaizhou Gege—she’s the other woman!”
“Shut up!” Ye Driver roared angrily. “Stop talking nonsense. Miss Jiang is not some other woman.”
Jiang Yuxia’s eyes flickered as she glanced back and forth between the driver and Ye Xiaoluo.
This was her second time meeting the Wei family’s driver.
If it weren’t for Wei Nainai, who had heard she was donating antiques to the museum and insisted on arranging a driver because she didn’t feel comfortable letting Jiang Yuxia go alone, she wouldn’t have known that Ye Xiaoluo was the daughter of the Wei family’s driver.
The onlookers filming the scene pointed their phones at Ye Driver’s face.
“The driver who works for Lao Wei Zong is here, personally confirming that Jiang Yuxia isn’t the other woman. Wow, what a plot twist!”
Ye Driver’s expression darkened. “Stop filming! It’s all just a misunderstanding!”
Jiang Yuxia raised an eyebrow. “What exactly is going on?”
Ye Driver first glanced at Ye Xiaoluo, whose face was deathly pale and eyes filled with confusion.
He lowered his head, his tone extremely humble. “Miss Jiang, my daughter grew up with Xiao Wei Zong. She just graduated and returned from abroad, so there are some things she doesn’t understand. It’s not convenient for me to explain here.”
“I’ll find another opportunity to explain to you later. I’ll have her apologize to you, and let’s just leave it at that. You wouldn’t want this to blow up and affect Xiao Wei Zong’s reputation, would you?”
But Ye Xiaoluo refused to speak. No matter what her father said, she stubbornly bit her lower lip, her reddened eyes fixed on Jiang Yuxia.
Seeing that his daughter wouldn’t apologize, Ye Driver didn’t insist.
Instead, he turned to the filming crowd and took a photo with his phone.
“I’ve taken photos of everyone here. You must delete all the videos you took today. This involves the Wei family’s reputation. If you post them online and cause negative repercussions, the Wei Group will hold you legally accountable.”
Most of the onlookers had just come out of the auction, each of them quite wealthy.
But compared to the true financial powerhouse, the Wei family, they were still far behind.
If they wanted to continue doing business and stay in this circle, they couldn’t afford to offend the Wei family.
Everyone exchanged glances and put their phones away.
Ponytail Girl whispered, “Xiaoluo, see? I told you your dad would handle it. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Ye Xiaoluo’s expression brightened slightly.
However, Jiang Yuxia turned around and waved to someone behind her. “Come over. Did you get everything?”
A hostess emerged from behind the hall door, holding a phone.
“I got it all, Miss Jiang. Here’s your phone.”
After reading the diary reminder earlier, Jiang Yuxia had guessed that the group at the entrance was there to confront her.
To gather evidence, she had given the hostess a stack of ten thousand yuan in cash to film everything for her.
Ye Driver frowned slightly. “Miss Jiang, this video of yours cannot be shared either. Please understand. You wouldn’t want Xiao Wei Zong’s reputation to suffer and the group to be implicated, would you?”
Jiang Yuxia sneered, her slender fingers waving the phone.
“You’re too late. This was a live stream.”
She turned the screen toward them. In the live stream titled “Xiaxia’s Life Fragments,” the number of viewers had already reached 999+!
The barrage of comments flew faster than bullets—
[The Wei family’s driver puts on more airs than Mr. Wei himself!]
[A mere driver dares to threaten people—I can’t even imagine what the Wei family is really like.]
[It’s 2024, dude, and you’re still pulling the power and influence card?]
Ye Driver was stunned. “This… this… Miss Jiang, you and Mr. Wei are family. Doing this will harm him!”
Jiang Yuxia replied coldly, “Don’t try to shift the blame here. Your daughter came out of nowhere to call me a homewrecker. The one causing trouble for the Wei family is her, not me.”
“You wanted to suppress the video to keep it from spreading, not for the Wei family’s sake, but for your daughter’s.”
Ye Xiaoluo’s face turned pale. “Don’t push your advantage too far.”
Jiang Yuxia had no patience for further argument. She ended the live stream and dialed 110.
“Hello? Officer, I’d like to report a crime. Someone damaged my property and attempted to harm me.”
Ye Family Cousin finally panicked.
He was the one who had smashed the antique worth ten million. If the police came, how could he possibly avoid taking responsibility?
“Miss Jiang, this is all a misunderstanding. Please listen to our explanation.”
Jiang Yuxia glanced at him dismissively. “I don’t have time to listen. Save it for the police.”
Four hours later.
Police station, mediation room.
Jiang Yuxia stood with her arms crossed, her attitude icy. Across from her sat Ye Xiaoluo, Ponytail Girl, Ye Family Cousin, and Ye Xiaoluo’s father.
A young, handsome officer pushed the door open. “We’ve just checked. Ms. Ye Xiaoluo, your ID number ends with 098X, and your marital status is listed as unmarried.”
Ponytail Girl and Ye Family Cousin both turned to look at her, stunned.
“Didn’t you say Mr. Wei secretly took you to get married last year?”
“Yeah! You even took your household registration booklet from your dad. We’ve all seen that marriage certificate!”
Ye Xiaoluo’s father rubbed his temples with one hand, remaining silent.
Ye Xiaoluo clutched her skirt tightly, her face pale. “I don’t know… my head hurts so much…”
Suddenly, she gasped for breath and collapsed with a thud.
Everyone panicked, jumping to their feet.
“Xiaoluo!” Her father hurriedly scooped her up in his arms.
Two female officers entered and, along with Ye Xiaoluo’s father, escorted her to the hospital.
Left behind were Ponytail Girl and Ye Family Cousin. As if realizing something, neither dared to look up at Jiang Yuxia again.
“Officer,” Jiang Yuxia said with a cold smile, “She attempted to harm me, and he destroyed an antique I purchased. Please handle this according to procedure. My condition is that I will not settle. Either they compensate me, or they go to jail.”
Ponytail Girl gritted her teeth. “Do you have to be so harsh? It was just a misunderstanding!”
“A misunderstanding? If I gathered a bunch of people to surround you, point fingers, and call you a homewrecker, would you call it a misunderstanding?”
Besides, if it weren’t for the timely warning from the Future Diary, Jiang Yuxia would have been unprepared for that move, and the one being rushed to the hospital right now would likely be her!
This matter had to be pursued to the end!
Ye Family Cousin spoke up again. “When did you and Mr. Wei get married? I’ve never heard the Wei family mention it. Are you really his wife?”
This time, before Jiang Yuxia could respond, the officer spoke up coldly on her behalf. “We’ve checked. She is indeed Wei Huaizhou’s wife, legally.”
They finally fell silent.
What was supposed to be catching a homewrecker had unexpectedly turned into confronting the legal wife.
Could it be that Ye Xiaoluo was actually…
Ponytail Girl slammed her fist on the table. “Wei Huaizhou is a scumbag! Since he already has a wife, why did he send so many things to our Xiaolu? Knowing she has a heart condition and can’t handle emotional distress, he still provoked her!”
Then, she pointed an accusing finger at Jiang Yuxia. “Why didn’t you keep your husband in check?”
Jiang Yuxia crossed her arms, her attitude cold. “I’m not his mother. Why should I care how many women he chases? Why didn’t you keep your friend in check and stop her from pretending to be the rightful wife to steal someone else’s husband?”
Ye Family Cousin snapped, “Watch your tone!”
The young police officer abruptly stood up.
“Enough! If you keep arguing, I’ll take you all into custody! And you two—don’t just believe everything you hear. Why didn’t you investigate properly? To this day, you haven’t even apologized to Ms. Jiang.”
Hearing the officer’s words, the two reluctantly stood up, their faces pale, and apologized, “We’re sorry.”
Jiang Yuxia adjusted her sunglasses, her red lips curling coldly. “Apology not accepted.”
Ye Family Cousin grew anxious. “You’re doing this on purpose! Officer, please be reasonable. She bought an antique worth ten million, yet she carried it in a cheap bag. How could anyone know there was an antique inside?”
The police officer slammed the table, his tone stern. “What she bought is her property. Even if she carried it in a plastic bag, that’s no excuse for you to damage someone else’s belongings!”
Jiang Yuxia sneered. “I’ll give you three days. If I don’t see the money, you’re going to jail!”
Her attitude was so unyielding that there was no room for negotiation.
Thus, Ponytail Girl compensated 100,000 yuan on the spot for emotional damages.
As for Ye Family Cousin, who had smashed the antique, he couldn’t come up with ten million immediately and had to call his family to raise the money.
But this wasn’t a thousand yuan—it was ten million!
When he tried to plead for leniency, Jiang Yuxia turned and walked away without looking back.
The young police officer caught up to her. “Ms. Jiang.”
Jiang Yuxia quickened her pace.
“Jiang Yuxia! Stop right there!” His voice was low and cold, tinged with anger.
