Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Zhanpeng wasn’t Qiu Xiujuan’s biological son. This kind of gossip had long spread throughout the capital. However, it was all in the dark and wasn’t put on the table. Therefore, everyone only dared talk about it in private and didn’t dare speak about it directly. But now, everyone treated this as a topic of conversation after dinner.
When Jiang Guoqiang heard this news, the things in his office were shattered again. “What’s going on with them? When did they expose this matter? Do they want the Jiang family to completely disappear from the capital? Ah!” Jiang Guoqiang called home.
This time, Jiang Guoqiang couldn’t hold it in, he directly shouted at his father, “Dad, do you know what the situation is now? Do you want to see our family decline bit by bit and eventually disappear from the circle of Beijing? If you really think so, then I have nothing to say.”
“Jiang Guoqiang, what kind of attitude is this? Is this the attitude you have when talking to your father? Do you think I want to? Also, you don’t have the ability to be re-elected, so don’t push all the responsibility on me.” Elder Jiang was not young anymore, he had long lost the clear judgment he had when he was young. He became a little unreasonable.
After saying that, Elder Jiang directly hung up the phone.
Chen Meng’er knew the movements of the Jiang family like the back of her hand.
Moreover, Chen Meng’er had a lot of news outlets in her hands. She asked Zhou Yunjie to reveal the Jiang family’s matter to those news outlets. And because those news outlets outlets had the Green Gang and the Qu family’s support behind them, even if the Jiang family had been pressuring them, they still reported the matter regarding the Jiang family’s Jiang Guotao as scheduled.
Chen Meng’er, who had been reborn, knew how powerful these news outlets outlets were.
The day after Jiang Guotao’s matter was exposed by the news outlets, at the behest of the Qu family, Jiang Guotao was prosecuted. He was charged with bigamy. This was the first person from the Jiang family that was sent to prison. Even if Jiang Guotao was eventually convicted, he would only be in prison for a short period of time. However, Jiang Guotao’s future political career was ruined.
After Jiang Guotao’s matter, the Jiang family was originally wavering in the middle and watching. Those who didn’t know which camp to join suddenly made a decision and abandoned the Jiang family one by one. This news made Jiang Guoqiang so angry that he stomped his feet. However, no matter how much he stomped his feet, it was useless.
Jiang Zhanpeng’s injuries hadn’t healed. The military hospital had invited countless experts, but they were all at a loss about Jiang Zhanpeng’s injuries. As for Jiang Zhanpeng, he couldn’t move at all. Every time he moved, it would hurt. However, he was a human. As long as he was alive, how could he not move at all?
Therefore, every time Chen Meng’er went to the hospital to visit her father, Chen Ping, she could hear Jiang Zhanpeng’s screams as if he was a pig being slaughtered. She could also hear the discussions of the nurses in the hospital.
On the other hand, Chen Meng’er once bumped into Zhang Yu in the corridor. When she first saw her, she almost didn’t recognize her. Was this still the beautiful middle-aged woman she knew? Without her exquisite makeup, Zhang Yu had suddenly aged by several decades. Chen Meng’er, who had exceptionally good eyesight, could see the deep wrinkles on Zhang Yu’s face.

Jiang Guoqiang finally could not help but come knocking on her door.
Chen Meng’er was not the least bit surprised that Jiang Guoqiang had come knocking on her door. She knew that he would not admit defeat so easily. “Elder Liu, I came here today to talk to you and Meng’er.”
“I’m already old, there’s no need for that. If you have anything to say, you can talk to Meng’er.” Elder Liu took the tea that Chen Meng’er made for him and went out to bask in the sun.
“Meng’er, you can’t do this.”
“I can’t do anything? Chief, why don’t I understand what you’re saying?” Chen Meng’er pretended to be stupid.
“I know you understand. Yes, I admit that I was the one who broke the agreement first. However, I also have my own difficulties.” Jiang Guoqiang couldn’t use force against Chen Meng’er. This time, he tried to be soft with Chen Meng’er.
However, Chen Meng’er wouldn’t listen to him. “Chief, there’s nothing to talk about between us. It doesn’t matter whether you have your own difficulties or not. The current situation will not change. There’s no turning back when an arrow leaves the bow,” Chen Meng’er said with certainty.
“Are you going to fight me head-on until the end?” Jiang Guoqiang looked at Chen Meng’er with a hint of murderous intent.
Chen Meng’er immediately felt it, Chen Meng’er’s face also sank. “It’s not going to be a head-on fight until the end. It’s just that no one can stop me from doing what I want to do. Since you specially came here today, Chief, I can’t let you come here in vain. I’ll give you a gift,” Chen Meng’er said. She stood up, went to the study room, took out a folder, and handed it to Jiang Guoqiang.
Jiang Guoqiang didn’t take it. Instead, he looked at Chen Meng’er and asked, “What’s this?”
“You’ll know when you open it and take a look,” Chen Meng’er said as she placed the folder on the coffee table beside Jiang Guoqiang.
Jiang Guoqiang hesitated for a moment. In the end, he couldn’t help but pick up the folder on the coffee table. He looked up at Chen Meng’er before opening the folder. Chen Meng’er was not in a hurry. She leisurely drank her tea and waited for Jiang Guoqiang to slowly read it.
When Jiang Guoqiang opened the folder and clearly saw the contents of the document in the folder, his face changed. The more he looked down, the paler his face became.
He only saw half of it and could not continue reading. He threw the folder on the table and looked up at Chen Meng’er in fear. He never thought that Chen Meng’er would have these things in her hands. “Why do you have these?”
“I want them, so I have them,” Chen Meng’er shrugged and said indifferently.
“You gave these to me. What do you want?”
“I don’t want to do anything. We are acquaintances. I don’t want to make things too ugly in the end and make us enemies.” Chen Meng’er put down the teacup in her hand with a smile.
However, Chen Meng’er’s smile at this moment was similar to a devil’s smile in Jiang Guoqiang’s eyes. No, it was more frightening than a devil’s smile. One had to know that if these things were to be spread out, he would die.
