CHAPTER 498: CHAPTER 498

Jiang Moxi chuckled lightly, "Alright, I’ll try to arrange it."

Jiang Tairan immediately beamed with joy, "Then Grandpa will wait for your good news. You’ll let me know soon, right?"

Jiang Moxi ignored him.

Jiang Tairan also knew it wasn’t easy to get Jiang Moxi to loosen up a bit, so he didn’t press her further.

Before he left, though, he stuffed a slip of paper into Jiang Moxi’s hand.

"This is the address of our new house. Remember to visit when you have the chance; it’s been a long time since our whole family has gathered."

Zhao Guangmei wanted to say something to Jiang Moxi, but Jiang Moxi was being cold to her as well, leaving Zhao Guangmei no choice but to give up and depart with Jiang Tairan.

Jiang Tairan and Zhao Guangmei had left, but the encounter had completely ruined the mood for Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan to dine.

Jiang Moxi got to her feet and walked outside, with Fu Youhan following her.

"Really considering going back to take a look?"

Seeing that Jiang Moxi was squeezing the piece of paper without responding, Fu Youhan chuckled again and said,

"I heard that they moved to Emperor City quite some time ago and never notified you. Now that they see you’ve become designer X, they seem quite eager."

As soon as Fu Youhan finished speaking, he saw Jiang Moxi toss the slip of paper into a trash can.

The corners of Fu Youhan’s lips lifted slightly.

His girl was kind-hearted and remembered old affections; if others treated her well, she would repay them a hundredfold.

Normally, that would be a good thing.

But the hearts of those in the Jiang Family were made of stone, never warming up no matter how you tried.

Fu Youhan did not want Jiang Moxi to be morally blackmailed by these people again.

After dealing with the note in Jiang Moxi’s hands, Fu Youhan asked her, "So, Miss Xi, do you plan on meeting that old man again?"

Jiang Moxi knew Fu Youhan was asking whether she would meet with Jiang Tairan as Miss Xi.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Moxi shook her head, "No. Now that the relationship has been severed, there’s no need to keep meeting."

Fu Youhan received the response he was hoping for and stepped forward to wrap his arms around Jiang Moxi’s shoulders, "Fantastic! As a reward, I’ll give you a new car."

Jiang Moxi was quite interested in cars, so she agreed.

Soon, a professional brought over a black Range Rover that Fu Youhan had just ordered.

The car was modified, not only with bulletproof window glass, but the interior space was also immense.

Especially the back seats, which could be laid down to become a bed, soft and comfortable.

Jiang Moxi was examining the back seat’s interior when Fu Youhan also climbed into the back seat and hugged her slender waist, whispering in her ear.

"Xixi, I want to start the lesson."

Jiang Moxi didn’t want to respond, but the person in question bluntly insisted.

Given the limited space inside the car, Jiang Moxi found it difficult to retaliate, and in the end, she could only let him have his way...

On the other hand, after taking Jiang Weiwei home, Yu Man found her hiding in her room, refusing to come out or even to eat dinner.

In the end, out of pity, Yu Man had a vegetable porridge prepared and brought it to Jiang Weiwei herself.

As she pushed open the door and entered, Yu Man saw Jiang Weiwei lying motionless on the bed just as before and urged her, "Eat something first, then worry about the other matters."

Jiang Weiwei’s plagiarism had made Yu Man quite embarrassed in front of the group of noblewomen she had recently befriended, so she was understandably upset.

Yet no matter what, Jiang Weiwei was the one she had raised, and Yu Man couldn’t bear to see her ruin her health like this.

Seeing Jiang Weiwei still unmoved, Yu Man could only move forward to push her.

Only then did she realize, to her alarm, there were traces of blood on the blanket.

"Weiwei?"

Yu Man panicked, hastily pulled back the quilt to check, and found a large gash on Jiang Weiwei’s wrist, with a bloodied knife beside it.

"Something terrible has happened, someone come quick!"

"Weiwei has slit her wrists..."

Yu Man felt as if the sky was falling down on her.

She called out frantically, summoning Jiang Guosheng and others, and then took Jiang Weiwei to the hospital.

"She was brought in time, the wound isn’t too deep, she should recover after some rest."

The doctor treated Jiang Weiwei’s wound and then left.

By this time, Jiang Weiwei was already awake.

In fact, Jiang Weiwei had never lost consciousness.

She knew that the plagiarism incident must have dug deep resentment from the Jiang Family towards her.

Especially since Yu Man had persuaded her to come home, and she saw that there was a banquet being set up at home, supposedly to celebrate for Jiang Moxi.

Jiang Weiwei thought, at times like this she needed to sacrifice something to shift everyone’s attention away from her.

Otherwise, under these circumstances, she was certain to be abandoned by the Jiang Family.

Moreover, Weifeng, implicated in plagiarism, had to compensate Yunshang a large sum of money, not to mention the high recompense demanded by the ladies for the previously ordered private customizations; they would not let her off the hook.

Jiang Weiwei alone definitely couldn’t come up with so much money, so she had to find a way to make Yu Man or Jiang Guosheng step in to help herself.

That’s why she had been listening to the movement outside her room all this time.

She only slit her wrist when she was sure Yu Man was about to enter her room.

But Yu Man did not know that this was just an act by Jiang Weiwei; she was still drowning in self-blame.

"If only I had entered the room earlier, she wouldn’t have lost so much blood."

"If I hadn’t scolded her just now, Weiwei wouldn’t have done such a foolish thing."

"Guosheng, don’t mention the plagiarism in front of Weiwei anymore, she is already suffering enough."

Jiang Guosheng also felt extremely stifled in his heart.

When Jiang Weiwei used to make Weifeng prosper, Jiang Tairan had valued their family quite a bit.

Even when he became ill, he only confided in him alone.

But today, after Jiang Weiwei’s plagiarism was exposed, Jiang Tairan went out with Zhao Guangmei to look for Jiang Moxi, and now only called Jiang Dinghai to the back yard for tea.

Jiang Guosheng had some complaints against Jiang Weiwei, unavoidably speaking in a harsh tone: "She did wrong, and no one is allowed to talk about it?"

But Yu Man tried to persuade him: "She knows her wrongs and couldn’t face us, that’s why she slit her wrists. Do we have to keep mentioning it, driving her to do something more foolish?"

In the end, Jiang Guosheng couldn’t bear to push his own daughter to death, and could only irritably say: "Alright, I know, I won’t talk about it."

After settling their emotions, they finally entered Jiang Weiwei’s hospital room.

But Jiang Weiwei was already prepared, the moment they pushed open the door, they saw her sitting on the room’s window sill, with her back towards them.

That scene, it scared Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man out of their wits.

"Weiwei, what are you doing? Come down quickly!" Yu Man almost rushed forward.

Jiang Guosheng also said: "Weiwei, anything can be talked through, there’s no need to do something extreme."

But as soon as the two of them approached Jiang Weiwei, she stood up on the window ledge.

"Dad, Mom, I know this incident must make you feel ashamed and disappointed, but I just unintentionally came across that manuscript in our Jiang Family’s ancestral hall. I waited a long time without seeing a similar design before I became momentarily greedy."

Jiang Weiwei said as she cried, and her face paled slightly from losing some blood, making her look pitiable.

"I never thought that the manuscript was Moxi’s, nor did I expect things to blow up this big. My reputation is utterly ruined, I’ve amassed debts, I no longer have the face to see you all..."
