Xu Jingya, unprepared, fell onto her backside when her advance was rejected. She stared at Jiang Wenbin in disbelief, yet dared not yell at him.
"What's the situation with the property deed? Can you explain it to me?" Jiang Wenbin suppressed his temper, asking in a gentle tone.
He was compliant, but Jiang Ziyu didn't want to speak with him nicely.
"You've seen it all. The owner of this house is me now, and I have the right to deal with it. As for you two, out of consideration for our blood ties, I'll give you half a month to find a new place. By the beginning of next month, I will sell the house as scheduled," Jiang Ziyu warned.
The Jiang residence was located in the affluent district of the capital, with an excellent geographical location and beautiful scenery. The house would attract many buyers once put up for sale. They all knew this.
Jiang Wenbin looked at the spacious house, which he had hired people to design and renovate with great care. Half of his effort was poured into this house. How could he possibly let her sell it?
"The house has always been under my name. I'd very much like to know how you managed to change it to yours?" Jiang Wenbin did not respond to Jiang Ziyu's words, his mind solely occupied by the name on the property deed.
Could Di Mingjue have helped?
Before he could figure it out, Jiang Ziyu clearly and completely revealed, "You truly have a forgetful nature. You should all know who the true owner of this house is. What you schemed to take was only yours for a short while. Now it's time to return it."
Xu Jingya's face turned pale, and she looked at Jiang Ziyu with doubt.
Years ago, the property deed was in the name of Jiang Ziyu's maternal grandmother. The Jiang residence was not originally called the Jiang residence. Jiang Wenbin, having married into the family as a live-in son-in-law to Jiang Ziyu's mother, had become too complacent, allowing villains an opportunity.
During the property transfer, Jiang Wenbin and Xu Jingya, holding the transfer documents, coaxed and coerced Jiang Ziyu's ailing grandmother into signing the transfer.
She knew it all?
Jiang Wenbin observed Jiang Ziyu's expression.
"If you don't want anyone to know, you shouldn't have done it. Instead of being curious, you'd be better off thinking about how to turn the situation around," Jiang Ziyu said. Seeing Wang Hu and the others coming downstairs, she knew she could leave.
When Jiang Wenbin finally snapped out of his shock, he rushed after her in a fit of rage. He grabbed Jiang Ziyu's arm, pulling her to face him.
Facing each other at close range, Jiang Wenbin, however, feared Jiang Ziyu. He inwardly, timidly, released his grip and warned with a wandering gaze, "This house is mine. If you dare to sell it, I'll ensure you don't see the sun tomorrow."
His greatest regret at this moment was not dealing with her back then; otherwise, none of this would be happening now.
Jiang Ziyu glanced at his face, contorted by greed, and casually replied, "I'm looking forward to it."
She wanted to see what trouble they could stir up.
Jiang Wenbin was powerless to stop her any further and watched her leave before his eyes.
As the car drove away, Xu Jingya's heart sank. She sat on the ground and beat her thighs in a tantrum, "What are we going to do? Without the company and the house, how will we live! It's all your fault. I told you back then not to keep her, not to keep her, but you insisted on sending her abroad because of that bit of blood relation. Now look, she's come back with all sorts of skills to deal with us!"
Xu Jingya's crying and wailing ignited Jiang Wenbin's bottled-up anger, which he had no outlet for.
A few days ago, he was invited to an event. He thought he could leverage the backing of Di Jue Group to lure some business partners. But to his surprise, upon arrival, he was not only disrespected but also treated as a laughingstock by everyone.
Not only did these people not offer any assistance, but they also deliberately inquired about his company's situation. Throughout the entire evening, he couldn't manage a smile. As the event concluded, he encountered an old business partner. From him, he learned that someone had offered them benefits to cease cooperation with the Jiang Corporation.
