“Mom, what should we do now?” Jiang Shuyu asked as she shook Mother Jiang’s arm in a panic.

Mother Jiang looked at Father Jiang.

Father Jiang suddenly said, “Shuyu, don’t panic. I’ll get someone to find out what kind of relationship Xiao Lingye and Xiao Lingyu have. If they’re just ordinary relatives, then it’ll be easier. We’ll bring gifts to apologize. Maybe the Gong family will be lenient and won’t hold it against us anymore.”

However, Father Jiang was most worried that Xiao Lingye was from the same family as Xiao Lingyu.

Jiang Shuyu wiped her tears and nodded in response, “Yes!” After answering this, she thought of another matter and suddenly asked, “Papa, what about the matter with Su Yang, Qiao Ruoyang, and the others?”

At this moment, she deeply understood how troublesome the matter had gotten. She was very regretful. She wouldn’t have risked her reputation to frame Xiao Lingye.

If she did not deal with the matter with Su Yang and the others, her reputation in the school and even in the upper echelons of the capital would be ruined. How would she be able to marry into a rich and powerful family in the future?

Father Jiang’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He said, “Don’t bother about this matter. Father will take care of it!”

If the Gong family had really interfered in Su Yang and the boys’ expulsion from the imperial university, it would be useless no matter what he did. Therefore, he had to rely on extreme measures.

After Jiang Shuyu heard that, she finally felt some peace in her heart.

Father Jiang said, “Go back to school first. Do what you have to do and pretend that you don’t know anything. As for what happens after that, I’ll make the arrangements. Also, I’ll tell you one more time. Before the matter is fully investigated, you absolutely can not provoke that Xiao Lingye again, understand?”

Jiang Shuyu nodded and said, “Yes, I understand, Dad!”

…

“What did you say?” Qiao Ruoyang received the news and asked in shock, “Su Yang died in a car accident?”

Father Qiao nodded with a solemn expression and said, “That’s right. The result of the appraisal is that it was a traffic accident.”

“How is that possible?” Qiao Ruoyang said with a pale face. He had a guess in his heart that Su Yang’s death must have something to do with Jiang Shuyu. Otherwise, things wouldn’t be so coincidental.

Just as Father Qiao was about to say something, his phone rang. He took it out and looked at it. His expression immediately changed. Then, he anxiously said to Qiao Ruoyang, “Son, Dad will send you out of the country now!”

Qiao Ruoyang asked in surprise, “Dad, what happened?”

Father Qiao said anxiously, “Don’t ask. Leave the country now. The further, the better!”

Then, Father Qiao hurriedly sent Qiao Ruoyang on a plane to go abroad.

Their passports were ready immediately. Similarly, three other people were suddenly sent abroad by their families. The only person who was not sent abroad was Su Yang, the person who died in a traffic accident.

These two days, Jiang Shuyu had been living a very uneasy life.

On the one hand, she was afraid of the threats from Su Yang and the others. On the other hand, she was also uneasy about the background of Xiao Lingye.

Then, another rumor began at school…

“Did you guys know that Su Yang died?”

“We know. This matter has already spread around the school. How could I not know about it?”

“Why would Su Yang die just like that? Could it be such a coincidence?” Someone asked suspiciously.

“What do you mean by that?” Someone immediately asked curiously.

That person said, “But I heard that Su Yang, Qiao Ruoyang, and the other three are trying to find a way to return to school. You’ve all heard the rumors, right? They were instigated by Jiang Shuyu to frame Xiao Lingye. They failed to frame him, and ended up being expelled from Imperial university. On the contrary, Jiang Shuyu wasn’t affected at all. Therefore, Su Yang and the others felt a little unbalanced in their hearts. I heard that two days ago, Su Yang called Jiang Shuyu and demanded she gets them back into school. However, suddenly, Su Yang died in a car accident. This is too much of a coincidence, right?” When he thought of this, he felt a chill down his spine.

If that was really the case, then Jiang Shuyu was really a heartless snake.

“You’re just scaring yourself.” Some people were not as sharp as him and did not think that Su Yang’s death had anything to do with Jiang Shuyu. After all, in their eyes, human lives were very precious and could not be easily manipulated by others. These people were naive. After all, the world they lived in was very peaceful. If there were injustice, the police would naturally step in. They had no idea there were other forces more powerful than the police…

After Qiao Ruoyang and the other three were sent out of the country at the fastest speed, Su Yang’s death became another traffic accident.

Following the death of Su Yang and the departure of Qiao Ruoyang and the others, the rumors about Jiang Shuyu gradually dissipated.

This meant that Teng Fei had no leader all of a sudden. The boys’ parents took over because this company was their sons’ hard work. The company might be small, but it had great potential. With the influence of their powerful backgrounds, Teng Fei company would definitely become bigger and bigger.

After Xiao Lingye learned of Su Yang’s death, he furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought.

He felt that Su Yang’s death could not be that simple.

However, the police department had announced that Su Yang’s death was a traffic accident.

What surprised him the most was that after Su Yang’s death, Qiao Ruoyang, Dai Yimin, Chu Xiangbei, and Pang Dayue were hurriedly sent overseas by their families. It was as if they were fleeing from a disaster.

The news that he had heard was that they had originally wanted to return to Imperial university, so why did they leave their homes and go abroad?

Xiao Lingye suspected that Qiao Ruoyang and the others’ hasty departure had something to do with Su Yang’s death.

As for the reasons, he still needed to investigate it clearly.

Originally, Xiao Lingye had planned to buy the company back at the most favorable price after the company lost its business. However, after Su Yang’s death, the company was immediately taken over by the boys’ families. As for the development of the company, with the powerful families at the helm, the business would get better. After all, those people were rich. They could easily hire a new tech lead.

If that were the case, Xiao Lingye wouldn’t be able to buy his company back so easily.

Xiao Lingye thought about it. He probably needed the help of his brother-in-law, Gong Tianhao.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lingye sighed softly and thought to himself, ‘I’m still too young and too inexperienced. I did not consider things thoroughly. I did not consider some unexpected crisis issues and the subsequent strategic planning.’ He was quite flustered. Xiao Lingye gave Gong Tianhao a call.

“Brother-in-law, I’m afraid I need your help with something. It’s like this…” Xiao Lingye told Gong Tianhao everything and then asked, “Brother-in-law, what should I do now?”

Gong Tianhao thought for a while and said, “Leave this matter to me. Tomorrow, we’re having a meal with the master you admire. It’s also a ceremony for him to take you as his disciple. You just need to focus on that. Don’t worry. Lei Junshan likes you quite a lot.”

Xiao Lingye said happily, “Okay, I got it, brother-in-law!”

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Lingye put his mind to meeting with Lei Junshan.

…

“Yu ‘Er, Su Yang is dead, and Qiao Ruoyang and the others have gone abroad. They can’t threaten you anymore!” Jiang Rong said.

Jiang Shuyu’s eyes lit up, and she immediately said happily, “Thank you, Dad!”

She knew that with her dad’s help, the matter would definitely be resolved perfectly.

Then, when Jiang Rong was talking about another matter, his expression was very serious. He said, “I asked someone to go to Taoyuan Village.”

Jiang Shuyu immediately became nervous and asked anxiously, “What’s the result?”

“Xiao Lingye is Xiao Lingyu’s younger brother!” Jiang Rong said very seriously, “He’s also Gong Tianhao’s brother-in-law!”

“What?” When Mother Jiang heard this result, she was surprised. “Hubby, are you mistaken?”

Jiang Rong’s expression turned serious as he said, “How could there be a mistake? Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Lingye are blood-related siblings. It’s not a secret in Taoyuan Village!”

They thought that Xiao Lingye and Gong Tianhao’s wife, Xiao Lingyu, might be related, but they never thought that Xiao Lingye and Xiao Lingyu would be blood-related siblings.

In that case, Xiao Lingye was Gong Tianhao’s brother-in-law.

Everyone in the capital knew that Gong Tianhao loved his wife.

Gong Tianhao was such a cold and heartless person. It was impossible for him not to take revenge after learning that his brother-in-law had been bullied. The three of them thought of their bleak future. Their hearts trembled, and their faces turned pale.

Jiang Shuyu said in disbelief, “How is this possible? Xiao Lingye is actually Gong Tianhao’s brother-in-law. How can he hide that fact so well?”

It was said that Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu had been married for four years and their children were already over three years old. It meant that Xiao Lingye was already Gong Tianhao’s brother-in-law when he entered imperial university.

However, no one in the university knew that this country bumpkin from the countryside was actually the brother-in-law of the richest man in the country.

If she had known that Xiao Lingye was Gong Tianhao’s brother-in-law, she would have done everything to curry favor with him. She wouldn’t have framed him.

Thinking of the stupid things she had done, Jiang Shuyu was secretly glad that their attempt to frame Xiao Lingye didn’t succeed. Otherwise, things would be much worse. If Xiao Lingye were really chased out of the university, Gong Tianhao’s revenge would definitely be even fiercer.

Mother Jiang said in surprise, “This Xiao Lingye is too low-key, isn’t he?”

If it were anyone else who had such a powerful backer, everyone would have known about it. However, Xiao Lingye said nothing. He was accepted by Imperial university with excellent results.

In his first year at Imperial University, he started working part-time. He was no different from other poor students.

Who would have thought that he was the world’s richest man’s brother-in-law?

Jiang Shuyu’s heart trembled, and then she asked, “Dad, what should I do now?”

Father Jiang said decisively, “Of course, we’ll find Xiao Lingye and apologize to him. If he needs compensation, we’ll try our best to satisfy him. Now, what you need to do is to make Xiao Lingye accept our apology.”

Mother Jiang said, “Shuyu, let’s treat Xiao Lingye to a meal first. As long as he agrees to come, everything can be discussed.”

Although Jiang Shuyu felt a little embarrassed, she still had to do it. Jiang Shuyu nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll test Xiao Lingye’s attitude first!”

Jiang Shuyu used to like Xiao Lingye because Xiao Lingye was really handsome, smart, and talented. All the boys in the school flocked to her, but Xiao Lingye ignored her, which hurt her self-esteem, after that, her desire to conquer caused him to make a mistake.

At that time, she only wanted to conquer Xiao Lingye and then abandon him. She did not have any intention of marrying him. After all, she was indoctrinated into the idea of marrying into a wealthy family in the capital.

At that time, Xiao Lingye did not have any family background. He was just a country bumpkin.

But now, Xiao Lingye’s identity had undergone a drastic change. Just the fact that he was Gong Tianhao’s brother-in-law would make many women go crazy over him.

Moreover, Green Fresh Group, which was founded by Xiao Lingye’s sister, Xiao Lingyu, had total assets of tens of billions. Sooner or later, at least half of the shares would belong to Xiao Lingye.

She came from a branch of the Jiang family. Although she had some companies under her family name, the total assets of these companies were only a few billion.

Their only proud identity was that they were related to the Jiang family in the capital.

Therefore, if she married Xiao Lingye, not only would she gain a relationship with the Gong family, but she would also incidentally get a net worth of over ten billion. She would definitely be rich and powerful for the rest of her life.

The more Jiang Shuyu thought about it, the more joyful she became. The exposure of Xiao Lingye’s identity stimulated her desire to conquer him even more. She was determined to get Xiao Lingye.

However, getting Xiao Lingye’s heart would probably require a lot of planning.

Xiao Lingye was obviously a man who would not be swayed by force. But as long as she changed her strategy, she would definitely be able to take him down.

“Shuyu, you should go back to school first,” Father Jiang said.

Jiang Shuyu nodded and said, “Okay, Dad. I’ll go back to school first.”

Mother Jiang saw her daughter’s confidence in taking down Xiao Lingye.

She said, “Our daughter is beautiful and a member of the Jiang family. No man will be able to refuse her. Moreover, even if that Xiao Lingye is Gong Tianhao’s brother-in-law, he’s still a child who grew up in the countryside. He definitely won’t be able to resist the temptation of our beautiful daughter.”

Father Jiang was not as optimistic as mother Jiang. He sighed and said, “That kid is so low-key, and he’s also a very shrewd person. I’m afraid that once Shuyu gets close to him, he will be able to guess her true intentions.”

Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu had been married for four years. The locals said that their wedding was very grand. By then, the Xiao Family would have known about Gong Tianhao’s identity. However, Xiao Lingye didn’t reveal his connection to Gong Tianhao when he was in university. He kept a low profile as the son of a farmer. It was clear that he was a very patient and shrewd person.

From the fact that he had rejected his daughter’s invitation, it could be seen that he did not like Jiang Shuyu.

Moreover, he had been chased out of the company that he had set up. The mastermind behind this was Jiang Shuyu. This matter had already spread throughout the school. It was impossible for Xiao Lingye not to have heard about it.

What man would like a cunning woman who had plotted against him?

When mother Jiang heard this, her face revealed a worried expression. “Then what do we do now?”

At this point, she suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up. She said, “Why don’t we ask for help from the main family?”

Father Jiang thought for a moment and said, “Let’s wait for Shuyu’s progress first.”

After saying this, he sighed softly.
