Chapter 294 Your Mother Doesn't Have a Good Eye for One's Character
”I want to have a word with her. It won't take long.” Jiang Grandma looked unhappy. Why hadn't she told me that she had to go to work today before I arrived? Apparently, she tried to evade me.
However, she didn't unveil the fact. After all, Dong Qingyuan had high social status. Her grandpa was once a leader in government. Now that he retired, he still had an influence on his successors. Otherwise, her dear grandson would not be taken away by the police just because of a word from Dong Qingyuan.
Since Old Madame said so, Dong Qingyuan had no choice but to stay. She asked, ”Granny, what do you want to ask?”
Pretending to be ignorant in front of an old woman like me! Well, I would remind you. ”Did your elder brother provoke you? He was too straightforward. But he is your brother, anyway. If he has done something wrong, just tell me or tell your uncle. Sending him to the detention directly is no different from putting Jiang Family in embarrassment.”
Old Madame blamed all of it on them, which seemed that they must swallow it. Dong Qingyuan smiled and said, ”Granny, if you think we did it, we will not argue with you. But you will probably say that we are family. Why should we be so determined to send him to the detention?”
”Then you must ask yourself. Letting your elder brother compete with Jiang An is my idea. If you are determined to revenge, just send me to the detention.” Old Madame tried to take advantage of her seniority.
”Jiang An, what happened on earth?” Jiang An's father had no choice but to intervene.
Every time that guy made the trouble, Granny would make a fuss. Jiang An cast a look at Granny and said with his anger under pressure. ”My elder brother had a crush on Yang Ke'er and wanted to date her. But Yang Ke'er was reluctant. He was so eager that he harassed her in public. Zhang Peng tried to persuade and then my brother punched him.”
When Jiang An said so, he looked at Granny and continued to say, ”Of course, he didn't admit that he was going to molest her, but the reporters on the spot captured the photos that he punched Zhang Peng and went near her of his own accord.”
Jiang An described the details very objectively to Granny and added at last. ”Qingyuan and I tried to bail him out, but he annoyed Shen Family, Yang Family and Zhang Family at the same time. Even the police dared not to release him right now.”
Was he annoying the three families at the same time? Old Madame Jiang was stunned this time. The three families were not easy to be pushed around. Additionally, with so many witnesses on the spot, it would not be of help even if Jiang Tao didn't admit it.
What a mess! Old Madame Jiang had no time to fuss Jiang An. She hurried to go back and had a talk with Jiang Tao's parents about how to bail him out.
What Old Madame Jiang worried about was that her dear grandson might get sufferings in the detention. But for Shen Mo, he was on the warpath because what Shen Yan did was no different from avenging Li Feiran on him. If the trouble had been made by other things, he could have asked someone to bail him out. But the fact was that he molested Yang Ke'er.
Although Shen Mo didn't believe that Jiang Tao had done that, those people on the spot could testify for Yang Ke'er when the police arrived. Whether he had done it or not, he had to swallow it.
But what made Shen Mo feel helpless was that he couldn't plead for Jiang Tao. Otherwise, he would become an enemy to the whole family and be scolded by outsiders for that he defended a scumbag and failed to distinguish right from wrong.
Considering Jiang Tao's social status, no one would find fault with him in the detention, which was a relief. However, it was disgraceful!
Even though Jiang Tao would be released at the end, his fame was ruined.
Shen Yan, you won this time! But it was not over. The terrible things were to come to you yet, and you just waited and saw! Shen Mo, wearing a gloomy expression, snuffed out a cigarette in the ashtray, which was newly ignited.
The campaign was a huge success. Due to Wen Xiaoqian's high popularity, the sales number of Tengfei's products increased sharply both from online orders and retail stores. Shen Yan gave a special reward to the Public Relations Department for their excellent product advertising, which inspired other departments to work harder in order to get a double reward.
Xia Yu went to work as usual. When she finished her work and went back home, she heard a sound of water splashing from the kitchen. She was confused, so she called for Aunt Ma. But no one answered, which meant Aunt Ma was not there. Where did the sound come from? She ran to the kitchen, only to find the water tap was broken. It mightn't have been broken for long because the spilled water was not much there.
Her first reaction was running to the storehouse to fetch a spanner. Having taken off her shoes and rolled up her trousers, she first closed the sluice. Then she began to fix the tap in the kitchen and opened the sluice again. At last, she went back to the kitchen and saw the tap stop splashing, so she tried to check it. Suddenly, it began splashing again and her body was splashed with water. It turned out that she didn't tighten it enough so that the tap went splashing again when it was opened. She screwed it up directly because she was not a professional. Anyway, she had been wet already. Therefore, she needn't care about it anymore. Next, she kept on tightening the tap again against the splashing water.
When she went back to the sitting room with her shoes in her hand, Aunt Ma happened to go back home from outside. Seeing Xia Yu was wet all over, she was surprised with her mouth open, ”Miss Xia, what happened?”
”The water tap in the kitchen is broken and I have a try to fix it. It stops splashing now but you'd better call the plumber and let him check it.”
”When was it broken? I went out to chat with a friend of mine. When I left the house, I didn't notice anything wrong with the tap. Please go and change your wet clothes in case of catching a cold.” Aunt Ma said with concern.
When Xia Yu was about to change her clothes, Shen Yan went in. He looked at Xia Yu and said, sitting on the sofa. ”Why are your clothes wet?”
Xia Yu told him that she tried to fix the water tap in the kitchen, expecting that he might thank her or ask her with concern to change her clothes in case of catching a cold like Aunt Ma. However, he glared at Xia Yu and said. ”Are you too free to do anything? Why don't you leave it to a plumber?”
”It was splashing at that time. It's just my first reaction to fix it, understand?” Xia Yu explained and felt unhappy. With so much water splashed in the room, the house would be drowned if she waited for a plumber to fix it.
Xia Yu didn't want to argue with him, so she directly went back to her room and changed her clothes. Seeing that Aunt Ma hadn't prepared the meal yet, she decided to go for a stroll in the community.
