Jiang Mi was exhausted and drowsy. Holding Ye Wan's hand, she murmured a few words before falling asleep, her expression filled with pain.
After settling Jiang Mi into a hospital room, Ye Wan asked around to find out what had happened. Those who knew explained the situation to her.
Ye Wan had seen the two girls who had caused trouble for Jiang Mi and was aware of the feud between Jiang Mi and the Jiang family. However, she hadn't expected the Jiang family to be so unreasonable as to openly assault Jiang Mi.
As Ye Wan listened to the nurse recount the details of Jiang Tian's assault on Jiang Mi, her blood surged with anger, and her face turned red. After hearing the account, she took out her phone and called Lin Zehan, asking him to intervene and ensure that no one bailed Jiang Tian out. Such a person, who refused to mend her ways, had to be punished!
Lin Zehan immediately dispatched his people. Originally, even after assaulting someone, Jiang Tian would have had to wait for Jiang Mi to be examined before being detained. Now, she was immediately taken into custody.
Zhong Xiu was shopping to her heart's content at the biggest mall in Jing City when she received a call from Tang Xinran informing her that Jiang Tian had impulsively beaten Jiang Mi and was now arrested.
Zhong Xiu was so furious she nearly passed out. She had warned Jiang Tian to avoid trouble for now, but why wouldn't she listen and go beat someone again? Could Jiang Mi let her off once, but a second time?
She abandoned her shopping and immediately rushed to the police station with her purchases.
When Zhong Xiu arrived, she saw Tang Xinran standing outside, looking anxious. Seeing her, Tang Xinran immediately ran towards her, saying anxiously, "Auntie, what can we do now? We have to get Tian Tian out first."
Zhong Xiu was already annoyed, and Tang Xinran's words made her even more so. She suddenly fixed her gaze on Tang Xinran and asked, "Why is it always my daughter who gets into trouble, while you remain unharmed?"
Zhong Xiu didn't react at first, but after several such incidents, she was not foolish enough not to notice something was amiss. Tang Xinran's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly explained, "Auntie, I didn't advocate for a real fight with Jiang Mi. I always advised Tian Tian not to act, but she was too angry and wouldn't listen to me. I couldn't stop her either. I'm sorry."
Zhong Xiu looked at the young girl before her, feeling that something was not quite right. Her daughter disliked Jiang Mi, but it was unlikely she would go looking for trouble right after being released.
Moreover, although her daughter had an impulsive and irritable temper, she wasn't that violent.
Why was it always her daughter getting into trouble, being arrested and detained, while Tang Xinran was always fine? What were her intentions?
"You don't need to apologize to me. You are with my daughter every day, and every time she gets into trouble, you are fine. I don't believe you when you say you have nothing to do with it. I never thought my Jiang Tian had invited a wolf into her home!" Zhong Xiu said disdainfully, glancing at her before striding inside.
Tang Xinran was humiliated, her teeth biting down hard on her lip. She hated being looked down upon the most. She knew that because of her illegitimate status, even now as the rightful Miss Tang, she would still be looked down upon.
That was why she wanted to marry Jiang Jingxiu. After marrying Jiang Jingxiu, no one would dare mock her anymore, for Jiang Jingxiu was like a god in that world, admired by all.
Lin Zehan had given his instructions, and Zhong Xiu, being an outsider, couldn't get Jiang Tian out. Jiang Jingren had already returned home. She could only call Jiang Jingxiu, her brother-in-law, to ask for his help in getting Jiang Tian released.
...
Ye Wan stayed by Jiang Mi's side, keeping vigil for a whole night. She was pregnant now, and even doing a little bit of anything made her feel tired. She had to hire a caregiver to help look after Jiang Mi.
