Chapter 35: Respect
Jiang Yue immediately instructed Wang Bolin to proceed to the Jiang's mansion.
When she arrived, the servants immediately led her to her father's study. The moment Jiang Yue entered the room, Lu Shi immediately hug her like a concerned mother.
"Jiang Yue, how are you? We missed you. You should visit us often. Jiang Mian also wanted to see you." Lu Shi gushed over Jiang Yue.
"You wanted to see me?" She directly asked her father without sparing Lu Shi another glace. She doesn't like women who act too much. They often get addicted to acting. Women like that irritate her.
Jiang Yue badly wanted to tear off Lu Shi's masked. However, she doesn't have enough evidence yet. They still haven't found out the identity of the person who owns the account abroad.
But Jiang Yue is already aware that Lu Shi is connected to both her mother's death and her car accident. Lu Shi sent an enormous amount of money to the account abroad, days before her mother's accident. Then, another huge amount of money was sent to the account days before Jiang Yue's Car accident.
She is sure that Lu Shi had an accomplice. But she doesn't want to strike without enough evidence. After all, someone who can hide from both Jiang Yue and Wang Minghua's investigation should not be an easy enemy. So, she is not planning to confront Lu Shi about it. At least not yet.
"Is that how you talk to your father?" Jiang Chanming said. His expression is stony as anger started to boil in his system.
Lu Shi immediately sent him a glare. Trying to warn him not to say anything that he might regret.
"Aiyah… Jiang Yue, my daughter. Your father is just feeling stressed lately. Come, sit down, have some tea." Lu Shi said as she gestured Jiang Yue to sit on the chair across her father's study table.
Jiang Yue just looked at her, then stared at her father again. Jiang Chanming should not blame her for becoming like this. He clearly cheated on her mother. Why is he acting like she should give him any respect?
Respect is not something that you give to someone because of blood affiliation or age. It is something you earn. And Jiang Chanming surely didn't earn any of her respect.
Although Jiang Yue did not have any respect for her father, she also does not blame Jiang Chanming for the misfortunes in her previous life. After all, he didn't push her to do anything.
"I called to discuss your birthday five days after the National Exams." Jiang Chanming started. "You are already of age to handle all of your mother's properties. You should start going to the Jiang Corporation and familiarize yourself with the business." He suggested.
This is the only way to get Jiang Yue to spend some time away from the Wang Family.
"I will think about it." She answered. Jiang Chanming has a point. Her mother's shares in Jiang Corporation will be handed to her once she turns 18.
"No need to think about it. It is your responsibility as part of the Jiang family. I will have Yu Chen guide you to the office tomorrow." Her father declared.
Jiang Yue furrowed her brows. Yu Chen again? Now that she thinks about it. Her father would not call her just because of the shares. She knows that he hated Wang Rou for giving everything to Jiang Yue.
If this is not for the shares, then…
"I'm done thinking. I'm not planning to spend some time in your company. Not tomorrow and not in the future," quipped Jiang Yue.
"What did you say?" Jiang Chanming erupted in a furious state.
"I said I'm not interested in your company. As for the shares, I can just get the annual dividends." She said nonchalantly.
Jiang corporation is an insurance company that is well known in the southern part of the country. She knows that insurance companies are the most ruthless and Jiang corp. is no different.
Jiang Yue originally was not interested in the company, but she is still reluctant to part with her mother's shares. However, she knows what Jiang Chanming and Lu Shi are trying to do.
Now that she will turn 18, Jiang Yue is already of marriageable age. She is not dumb. Jiang Yue understood the purpose of this meeting. They are trying to set up an engagement for her.
This realization completely froze Jiang Yue's heart. She heard from Jiang Mian and Yu Chen that they wanted to have the property deed for her mother. So, every scheme by the Jiang family is because of her inheritance.
Good thing she already handed it to her grandfather for safekeeping.
She originally thought that they would not provoke her once she avoids them, yet these people keep on provoking her over and over again.
"Are you trying to underestimate Jiang Corporation?" Jiang Chanming hollered. "You- Do you still consider yourself as part of this family? You immediately left after your mother's death. Cut off all communication, then turned a blind eye to my wedding! You insulted your younger sister and even desired her lover! Look at how unfilial you are. You are just like your Mother!"
"My mother?" Jiang Yue raised her brows as she looked at Jiang Chanming. Her eyes narrowed and full of mockery, which made Jiang Chanming want to slap her. "Oh right! You mean the one that you cheated on?"
Her statement surprised both Lu Shi and Jiang Chanming. She knew? Did she know all along?
"Who told you that?" Her father asked, while trying to calm himself. If Jiang Yue knew of his betrayal, then does that mean that she also knew that he and Lu Shi were the culprit of her mother's death?
"Not important! But the only reason why I haven't told my grandfather is that I still consider you as my father, so don't play tricks with me!" She threatened. This confrontation is inevitable. Still, she didn't expect it to be too soon.
"So, you want revenge? Is that why you tried to steal your sister's lover? And now her future husband?" Lu Shi sneered as she dropped all the pretense of being a good mother.
"Future husband?" Jiang Yue sneered. "Now, we both know that's not true, right?" She taunted Lu Shi.
"By law, I am your mother. You cannot talk to me like that, you ungrateful b*tch!" Lu Shi gibed while pointing her finger at her.
"Since you still consider me as your father, then listened to me. Marry Yu Chen. Your sister said that you like the man. Leave Young Master Fu for your sister." Jiang Chanming suggested as he tried to calm Lu Shi down. This is not the right time to show Jiang Yue her true colors.
"Hah. So, all this, is because of someone that does not even know you?" Jiang Yue wanted to laugh. So, these people wanted her to marry someone because they are afraid Fu Jin might take a liking to her.
Isn't it a little too late? But of course, she won't let them know that.
Lu Shi paled when she heard Jiang Yue. "What nonsense are you talking about? The Fu family will surely send a messenger in the next few days to acknowledge your sister."
"Yeah... keep believing that." She said. Then she made her way into the door.
"Where are you going? I am not done with you. Continue walking out of this room, and I will disown you!" She heard her father threaten.
Jiang Chanming originally thought that his threats will work on Jiang Yue. After all, an unmarried girl disowned by her own family is like a black speck to her reputation.
However, Jiang Yue continued walking without even turning her head.
"Then, goodbye father." Jiang Yue said before stepping out of the room. Her face booming with a smile.
'Goodbye Jiang Family. We will be enemies the next time we see each other.' She thought.
