Chapter 86

Chapter 86: If We Had Known She’d Be Like This, We Should Have…

Don’t think that just because Second Young Master Fu is pursuing you, you can fantasize that I’ll think more highly of you.

Before Jiang Shi Yue could say anything, Jiang Meng Qing, face dark, hurried to his study and slammed the door shut with a bang.

The sound was so loud that it nearly made Chen Xue Ru’s heart jump out. She had been hiding in a corner, secretly watching the scene in the living room.

Jiang Shi Yue rose unhurriedly and lightly swept a glance toward the study. She tugged at the corner of her mouth. How embarrassing – in her own timeline, she was also called Jiang Shi Yue.

That was because her dad and mother fell in love at first sight during the Shi Yue season, and she was born in that Shi Yue season as well.

So the name Jiang Shi Yue was not picked casually.

Jiang Shi Yue rubbed her forehead. This damned timeline. Then she lifted her eyes toward the corner where Chen Xue Ru was hiding, curled her lips in a meaningful way, and slowly went upstairs.

That meaningful glance just now made every hair on Chen Xue Ru’s body stand on end, as if a huge monster hiding in the shadows had fixed its eyes on her.

Chen Xue Ru’s face turned deathly pale. She didn’t even have time to feel happy that Jiang Meng Qing still didn’t change his nasty, hateful attitude toward Jiang Shi Yue even after she latched onto Fu Qing Han, and she hurriedly turned and left.

The Jiang Family villa’s living room lights were still on, brilliant as day, but the room was empty.

At the same time.

The Jiang Family ancestral residence, the place where the Jiang Family’s Old Master Jiang Cheng Ming currently lived, was also brightly lit.

Normally, Jiang Cheng Ming would have gone to rest early, but today he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, restless and anxious.

After he took a phone call, his face instantly darkened like water.

The Zhou Family’s banquet was already over, and it also shattered his last sliver of hope.

He hadn’t received an invitation, but Jiang Meng Qing had. Who would have thought that wretch, that beast, would tear the invitation apart, leaving him and Old Madam Jiang unable to attend and making them miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He had thought that when Jiang Shi Yue saw that Grandfather and Grandmother hadn’t gone to the banquet, she would send someone specifically to pick them up, but who knew – they waited until the banquet ended and still didn’t see anyone.

Jiang Cheng Ming was furious, angry, and resentful.

Grandma Jiang’s expression was just as bad. She clenched her teeth, her face a little twisted.

“I just knew that little bitch wasn’t any good. She latched onto Fu Qing Han and immediately kicked away the bridge, not putting us in her eyes at all. If we had known she’d be like this, back then we should have…”

Should have what, Grandma Jiang didn’t say, but her eyes were filled with venom.

Jiang Cheng Ming glared at Grandma Jiang. “I told you long ago. That damned girl was pretty. When she grew up, she could definitely be used for a marriage alliance, but you just wouldn’t listen!”

Grandma Jiang widened her eyes and refused to back down. “Everything I did was with your silent approval. Now you’re turning around and blaming me?”

This matter was important. She wasn’t going to take the blame.

Jiang Cheng Ming was clearly tired of walking. He sat down angrily on the rosewood chair, his eyes fixed on the famous painting on the wall in front of him.

After that, the room fell into dead silence, so quiet it was as if you could hear a leaf fall.

After a moment, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Old Master Jiang’s eyes. “Give Jiang Shi Yue one last chance. If she can’t be used by us, then…”

Grandma Jiang suddenly looked over.

Old Master Jiang smiled in a sinister way. “If she can’t be used by us, then destroy her!”
