“Alas, in the final analysis it’s all my own fault… Wait, you just said that you are Ningning’s boyfriend?”

After reviewing the entire process of how she fell into the trap, Jiang Ruxue felt a pain, but during the time in the detention center, she actually thought about the ins and outs of the matter countless times and sorted out some things herself.

Not overly surprised.

As a person involved, she could of course see all kinds of loopholes in retrospect, such as why Assistant Qin suddenly had close contact with those ministers who had nothing to do with her, and why the raw materials became scarce in a short period of time, forcing her to think of other ways to meet the project deadline.

There’s no use just thinking about this anymore.

She has been taken to the detention center and is under investigation. The important thing is to pray that she gets out safely.

After reacting, Jiang Ruxue caught other information in Chen Yuan’s words and asked with some surprise.

“Yes, that’s right.” Chen Yuan wanted to add that he was not just Ningning’s boyfriend.

It can be seen that Jiang Ruxue’s brain has not yet processed all the information.

He suppressed the urge to explain.

There was no rush to explain it later, at least the communication had to go smoothly first, he thought.

Jiang Ruxue now looked at his face carefully again.

I was surprised at how young he was.

On the other hand, she suddenly thought that Jiang Ning did admit that she had a lover in Lanjing, and it was probably the little boy in front of her.

“Remember the last time I went to Lanjing, you told me that you were Ningning’s neighbor. That was you, right?” Jiang Ruxue raised her head, her face pale and haggard.

“I wasn’t mentally prepared last time, and we met suddenly, so I lied.” Chen Yuan said embarrassedly.

“What kind of director of Jiang’s are you…which Jiang’s?” After sorting out the huge amount of information in his words, Jiang Ruxue finally grasped the key point.

“The company is headquartered in Kyoto and is deeply involved in the resources industry,” he replied.

“Resources industry… Jiang’s?” Jiang Ruxue suddenly realized and widened her eyes in shock. “You said your father is Jiang Zhengfeng? Yes, he is the helmsman of Jiang’s… I remember now!”

Just for a moment.

Jiang Ruxue’s lips slightly opened, and she was so surprised that she didn’t close them for a long time, and there was shock in her eyes.

She vaguely remembered that one time when Ningning and Yaoyao came back to celebrate the New Year, the three of them had a big fight.

She once warned Jiang Ning that if she wanted to be happy in the future, she should obediently follow her arrangements. It would be best for her to marry a qualified man from aristocratic family and not to get too involved with that “little country dog” from Lan Jing, as that would be an act of completely ignoring the future.

now.

This “little country dog” was sitting right in front of her.

Jiang Ruxue’s expression was frozen for a long while.

It was quite ironic that compared to those young men from aristocratic families that she introduced to Ningning, the little boy whom she looked down upon had a truly powerful background and they could not be compared on the same level at all.

“Student Jiang…” Jiang Ruxue looked embarrassed and said in a flattering way, “Your father’s name is well-known in the business world and is an unattainable existence. I didn’t expect that you would go to college in Lanjing instead of Kyoto… This is really rare.”

What she said is true.

Generally, children of aristocratic families who enjoy some resources will gather in places with abundant conditions and better resources to facilitate the establishment of an initial base, and Kyoto is undoubtedly one of the top cities.

Although Lanjing is also prosperous, its resources are far behind.

However, for entrepreneurs of Jiang Zhengfeng’s level, people will make their own assumptions about what decisions they make, and believe that they must have long-term plans.

Jiang Ruxue didn’t ask any more questions, just thinking that she didn’t understand.

How could she know about Chen Yuan’s complicated family situation? You have to know that before junior high school, Chen Yuan always believed that he was the biological son of Chen’s father and mother. He was born in Qishui County and was an ordinary little boy.

He was indeed taken to Kyoto, but he couldn’t adapt, so he returned to Qishui County and lived the life of a normal child, taking the junior high school entrance exam and the college entrance exam smoothly.

Because of these, Jiang Zhengfeng discussed with Chen’s parents countless times, and finally chose to follow Chen Yuan’s own ideas.

“Let’s not talk about this for now,” Chen Yuan changed the subject and said calmly, “I came to see you because I have something more important to discuss.”

“Did Ningning ask you to tell me?” Jiang Ruxue asked curiously.

“No,” Chen Yuan paused for a moment and shook his head, “Jiang Ning and Jiang Yao don’t know that I came to see you. It was completely my own idea.”

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Chen Yuan clearly felt that after he mentioned his identity, Jiang Ruxue’s attitude changed a little, as if she had become… a little too polite, a little different from when he first met her when he entered the door.

Based on what he had heard from the two sisters and others.

I can’t help but think that my mother-in-law is a rather “snobbish” person.

I immediately realized this in my mind.

“Student Jiang, please tell the truth.” She seemed to be thinking about something and said softly.

Although Chen Yuan clearly introduced his name, the other party still selectively ignored the fact that his last name was Chen.

He didn’t correct it either.

“In fact, I witnessed the entire process of what happened to the Jiang family. It is undeniable that, apart from external factors, there are certain problems with your management methods and business thinking, Madam Jiang. I forgot to mention that I also have shares in an investment company. I am not a complete layman, and my evaluation of you is just some personal foolish opinions… Well, since it has already happened, we have to face it. In fact, your two daughters have also suffered a lot in this matter.”

Chen Yuan paused and continued, “Repay the debts you owe to shareholders, employees, and investors. The amount is huge. A rough calculation shows that it is far beyond the ability of the two of them.”

Hearing this, Jiang Ruxue’s cheeks drooped and her expression became unclear.

“I know this…” She did not argue, but nodded as if accepting her fate.

“Then you know you’ll go to jail if you don’t pay it back?”

As soon as these words came out.

Jiang Ruxue’s hands suddenly tangled together, with a complicated expression. After a long while, she said hoarsely: “I have thought about this, but I am not mentally prepared yet.”

It seems that she really suffered a lot during her time in the detention center and reflected a lot.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so humble and submissive.

“Then have you ever thought about it? Your two daughters definitely don’t want you to go to jail, so how much effort will they have to make to settle your case? Do you know that your actions have indirectly changed their lives?”

Chen Yuan looked at her, frowned and said, “Just yesterday, because Qi Yingchen’s real estate company was not satisfied with Jiang Ning’s delay in selling the building to them, they sent someone to drive drunk and hit their car on the road. Now the two are still in the hospital.” Hearing this, Jiang Ruxue widened her eyes.

“How could this be!? My two daughters have nothing to do with this matter. Now that I’m here, everything in the company belongs to them. Aren’t they satisfied? Do these people really have no conscience at all?” She grabbed the iron railing, her eyes red and her expression extremely panicked.

I feel quite confused.

It seemed as if I would burst into tears in the next second.

“How are their injuries? Are there any serious problems? Classmate Jiang, I beg you to help them. Ningning is a very good girl. Yaoyao has only been to the hospital a few times since she was a child, let alone a car accident… Classmate Jiang, you have a way, right? Your father is such a powerful person…” Jiang Ruxue looked at him eagerly, as if she had seen a life-saving straw.

“Don’t be nervous,” Chen Yuan comforted him, “He’s fine, he just needs to rest for a while.”

Jiang Ruxue breathed a sigh of relief instantly, but her hands had turned blue from gripping the railing too tightly.

Immediately.

She seemed to have thought of something and quickly reminded, “You have to protect them both. If it doesn’t work, you can report it to the police. Those people are so unscrupulous that they will do anything for money!”

Chen Yuan looked at her quietly.

Most mothers in the world are the same. No matter what, Ningning and Yaoyao are her biological daughters after all. If Jiang Ruxue can perform the same reaction just now, then he really has nothing to say.

At least in Chen Yuan’s opinion, although she has all kinds of bad natures, as long as she doesn’t harm his daughter, then everything will be easy to deal with.

He didn’t want to rescue a vicious woman who was making things difficult for him everywhere.

“Can you help me tell them something?” Seeing that he was silent, Jiang Ruxue said tentatively, “The law does not punish children. If there is really no other way, the two of them should hurry back to Lanjing and stay away from this place of trouble. They can also find a way to go abroad. I will stay in prison for eight or nine years at most. I will endure it… maybe it will pass. If I behave well, I can even try to get my sentence reduced.”

“Do you really think so?” Chen Yuan asked back.

“At this point, there’s nothing we can do…” she said awkwardly.

“They didn’t give up on saving you. They had been negotiating with Qi Yingchen. In order to raise money, they even went to my grandparents’ house.”

“and then?”

In response to her question, Chen Yuan shook his head.

Jiang Ruxue had a desolate expression. She probably realized that she had acted too harshly in the beginning. Now that she was in dire straits, it was normal that no one came to her aid.

At this point, it is too late to understand the principle of leaving some room for others.

“I helped them. This debt was so huge that it was unimaginable that they couldn’t possibly pay it off just by the two of them, so the only way was to bear it for them.” Chen Yuan suddenly said.

Looking at his calm expression, Jiang Ruxue became a little excited.

“Student Jiang, are you willing to help them? Yes… With your family background, you can certainly afford it,” but after a moment of excitement, her face suddenly stiffened as she realized something. “Such a large sum of money… It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault that I got you into trouble.”

“This is also the reason why I came here today, Madam Jiang. Please don’t interrupt me and listen carefully to what I am going to say next… In fact, I am not Jiang Ning’s boyfriend alone. To be precise, the relationship between the three of us is quite delicate. We have been in love for more than a year…”

Chen Yuan told the truth, and after testing for a long time, he finally told the truth.

“That’s right. Before this happened, we were living in Lanjing like this. If Jiang Yao wasn’t my fiancée and we hadn’t settled the marriage, I wouldn’t be able to afford such a large sum of money.”

After he finished speaking.

Looking at Jiang Ruxue’s expression.

Unexpectedly, she was not as surprised as expected. Instead, excitement flashed in her eyes.

“So you mean to say that you want to marry my two daughters? Ningning and Yaoyao also know about this?”

“Yes.” Chen Yuan was a little embarrassed.

He didn’t expect Jiang Ruxue to react like this.

“This is a good thing!” she said enthusiastically, a little overwhelmed. “Ningning and Yaoyao are biological sisters who grew up together. It’s really a great thing that they both like you! You can live together in the future and take care of each other without being separated!”

“Ah?” Chen Yuan didn’t react.

Jiang Ruxue was still chattering, unable to hide her joy.

In fact.

For Jiang Ruxue, she didn’t mind the fact that her two daughters shared the same husband. Instead, she considered other aspects.

In her eyes, Chen Yuan came from such a privileged family, and was a responsible and good man who was willing to take care of the two sisters. She didn’t know how much better he was than those spoiled young men from wealthy families!
You won’t find such a son-in-law even with a lantern.

If both daughters could marry him, that would be the perfect outcome.

Some upper-class men are far more outrageous than this. On the surface they pretend to be decent human beings, but in fact, which one of them doesn’t have one child at home and another one outside?
In contrast, Chen Yuan’s willingness to give Ningning and Yaoyao a legitimate status is completely different from the behavior of those beasts.

“So, you have agreed on the engagement with Ningning and Yaoyao? Does Mr. Jiang know about it? Did he agree? It’s really unfortunate that such a thing happened to me at this critical moment, otherwise…” Jiang Ruxue had a headache.

Her biggest wish in recent years is to see her two daughters get married.

Now that there are signs of trouble, I have become a burden that drags down the other party.

“No, no, no, it’s not what you think,” Chen Yuan explained, “In fact, Ningning doesn’t want to marry me with Yaoyao…”

“Why!?” Jiang Ruxue frowned.

“She has her own ideas. She thinks this is not in line with her moral bottom line and would rather quit. Alas…”

“What moral bottom line? Why do you have to say all that when it’s such a good thing… Don’t worry, Jiang, I can help you persuade her. Don’t give up. Ningning has been stubborn since she was a child. I understand her. She hasn’t figured it out yet. Just give her some comfort.”

“Are you willing to help me persuade her?” Chen Yuan looked surprised and even turned his address into honorific.

“Of course,” Jiang Ruxue held onto the cold iron railing, her eyes full of enthusiasm: “Don’t worry, I will definitely be able to persuade her. After all, I am also a mother. As long as you are more resolute in your heart, even if you force her, it will be fine!”

Chen Yuan was really shocked.

He came here originally to test whether Jiang Ruxue would hinder him after she went out.

It turned out that the future mother-in-law was not a hindrance, but instead provided the best assist, so eager that it was impossible to stop her.

“Ningning won’t agree if you just say it. I’ve tried it many times before.” Chen Yuan got excited for a moment, then became a little worried.

“I have a solution.”

She said very seriously. (End of this chapter)
