A Beijing socialite stole my boyfriend; she went crazy after I got married.

joke.

Are there many people who know about their relationship?

There are some in the circle, but there aren't many.

From Xie Qingyang's perspective, it seems that everyone she comes into contact with knows, but in essence, it's because she only knows a limited number of people.

Since there is no legal relationship between them and they are of different nationalities, whether or not he recognizes them is entirely up to him.

Xie Jing handed the wine glass to the waiter. "I've said before that I'm responsible for my actions. What was your answer to me back then?"

Xie Qingyang was trembling all over.

She turned her head and her gaze fell on Jiang Chu.

Jiang Chu was still drinking.

Xie Qingyang took a deep breath.

"……mom."

She spoke with difficulty.

The word seemed to be forced out of the throat.

Jiang Chu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Xie Qingyang's expression was ashen, as if he had swallowed a fly, and he seemed to be trying hard to convince himself.

Jiang Chu may have come from an ordinary background, but at least she is a college student from a prestigious university and has won an international award.

In Xie Qingyang's circle of acquaintances, there were many mistresses far worse than her, and many rich young men's education levels were not necessarily as good as hers.

It's just a name.

Let them shout it!

"You help me," Xie Qingyang gritted his teeth, betting his last chip, "you help me suppress this matter, and I'll help you secure your position as the chairman's wife."

Jiang Chu laughed. "Do I look like I'm very unsteady to you?"

Xie Qingyang chuckled lightly, "The Xie family has many members. Those you met last time were only a part of them, not to mention the rest of the circle..."

"Niece," Jiang Chu interrupted her gently, "you have broken the law."

Xie Qingyang: "I was just—"

"My family," Jiang Chu said helplessly, "are all law-abiding business owners. There's really nothing we can do to help with this kind of thing, but I believe that if you haven't broken the law, the government won't wrong you."

Xie Qingyang stared intently at her, his lips trembling, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Jiang Chu is currently doing her best to keep herself from laughing out loud.

That's great.

From the moment she transmigrated, she had been waiting for this day.

now--

Xie Qingyang is completely finished.

Although her actions probably wouldn't warrant the death penalty, for Xie Qingyang, it was probably practically the same as death.

Jiang Chu smiled slightly at her, "So, you just need to cooperate with the investigation."

"Xie Jing!" Xie Qingyang turned to the man beside him, "I know you beat Wei Jing up like that! That was intentional assault—"

The investigators walked over.

The two stepped forward and took Xie Qingyang's arms from both sides.

Xie Qingyang struggled for a moment, but she didn't have much strength and was quickly held down.

"Xie Jing—" she gasped, "You can't do this to me!"

"The Xie family," Xie Jing said casually, "should know even better what the consequences of breaking the law are. If you think I've done something illegal, you can sue me."

Xie Qingyang stared intently at him, a surge of indescribable emotion, a mixture of humiliation and despair, welling up in his chest.

Yes.

He has told her more than once that she should be responsible for her actions.

but--

How could he not tell her that the domestic system was completely different from what she thought, and that this could be a criminal case that could lead to imprisonment!

The investigators stopped waiting and helped her walk towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

The high heels clicked on the marble floor, making a rapid, chaotic sound.

Xie Qingyang wanted to scream, but a dull pain in her chest made it impossible for her to even curse loudly, and her vision even went black.

A group of people left.

A brief silence fell over the banquet hall.

Everyone looked at each other.

They had witnessed too much bloodshed within conglomerates, and too many hidden daggers lurking behind smiling faces.

But at this moment, almost everyone had the same thought.

The chairman of Tianyu Group showed no favoritism whatsoever towards the younger members of the Xie family involved in the case, even in front of his most core executives and shareholders—he didn't even spare them a second glance.

Moreover, it's obvious to anyone with eyes to see that, given Xie Jing's control over the group's risk management and insider information, he had clearly anticipated this scene long ago.

When the investigators came in, there was absolutely no shock on his face.

This wasn't a sudden family scandal; it was clearly a premeditated act of making an example of someone!

Whether it was his biological daughter or his niece, Xie Qingyang had always called him "father" since childhood.

Even so, he would not step in to help anyone who dared to cross the line, let alone the other side branches and peripheral shareholders present.

Some board members who joined in recent years, who had not experienced the ups and downs of the past, have had their perception of the chairman refreshed after witnessing this scene.

"..."

The first to break the silence was an elderly man with white hair sitting in the corner sofa area.

He was a founding shareholder of Tianyu Group and has been involved in the group's development for fifty years, witnessing the rise and fall of the Xie family over several generations. He is known as Old Meng.

Old Meng slowly picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and sighed.

"...Chairman Xie, this is true vision."

Several long-time shareholders who knew him well nodded in agreement, their expressions showing a complex mix of respect.

A man in his fifties, the CEO of Tianyu Intelligent Manufacturing Division, gave a wry smile.

"Anyone else would have to keep this kind of thing to themselves, for as long as possible. But he's doing it like it's a normal procedure, without batting an eye."

"Ah, so that's why Tengoku is Tengoku."

the other side.

Several small and medium-sized shareholders holding shares in Tianyu's peripheral companies huddled together, exchanging glances.

"Do you think he knew the Economic Crime Investigation Department would be coming today?"

"Of course he knows. If he didn't know, would he have chosen tonight's occasion?"

"...So this is also a warning shot."

"you do not say."

The man glanced meaningfully at the others in the banquet hall. "Everyone here has their own little schemes. He made everyone witness this scene tonight to tell everyone—Tianyu's rules are Tianyu's rules. The Xie family is no exception, not to mention we're not even surnamed Xie."

"Alright, that's enough."

Someone picked up a wine glass, stood up, and raised it in Xie Jing's direction, saying, "It's rare for the chairman to come, so I'll go and offer him a toast first."

"Yes, yes, we were always in a rush before, and we didn't even get to talk to each other."

"Don't worry, I brought my wife here today, so we'll definitely be staying a while longer."
