Chapter 459 Shao San Goes to Jail

**Chapter 459: Shao San Lands in Jail**

After Lin Chenghui left, with no outsiders around, Jiang Yu finally let her guard down.

"Fei Yan, go lock up the courtyard."

He Feiyan shot He Zhengdong a glance. "Go lock it up."

Once the gate was secured, Jiang Yu spoke slowly, "Fei Yan, find someone nobody knows and send them to Nanhe Village."

He Feiyan frowned. "Why?"

Jiang Yu curled her lips into a smirk. "Wouldn’t you like to know?"

These injuries may have been self-inflicted, but they were someone else’s fault.

She wasn’t about to take this lying down.

She’d settle the score with every last one of them.

Just as things quieted down for Jiang Yu, the Jiang household was up in arms again.

Not only did Jiang Chenghuai come back with nothing to show, he was also suspended indefinitely!

Wu Jingyi had been waiting for good news, only to see him return with his tail between his legs.

"What the hell are you even good for? You couldn’t even seize such a perfect opportunity!"

Jiang Chenghuai was already frustrated, his face twisted in rage.

His mood was foul to begin with, and her words poured gasoline on his fury.

"If it was such a great opportunity, why didn’t *you* get your hands dirty? That damn jade seal belonged to Qin Kangyi! The Qin family’s been rehabilitated—how could that be any leverage?"

Suddenly, he remembered how when he first received Fu Xiangyang’s report, he had hesitated.

He hadn’t even managed to push Deng Hongyi aside—how could he stand against He Tingyue with any confidence?

It was Wu Jingyi who kept pushing and pushing him.

For the first time, Jiang Chenghuai snapped.

"I’m screwed! Do you have any idea how many years I clawed my way up to this position? Because of you, I’m finished!"

Wu Jingyi’s lips trembled in shock. "It’s not the end of the world—it’s just a suspension."

Exhausted, Jiang Chenghuai didn’t bother explaining further.

Closing his eyes, he thought of He Tingyue, and a cold trickle of fear ran through him.

That man wouldn’t rest until he skinned him alive.

Looking at his lifeless expression, Wu Jingyi muttered a curse under her breath—useless man.

Jiang Yu had already been driven out of the second factory, yet he couldn’t even take down one woman.

What else was he if not useless?

"I’ll go talk to the factory. I refuse to believe they won’t make this right."

Jiang Chenghuai snapped, “What explanation? Don’t you think I’ve been humiliated enough already?”

Wu Jingyi, who had an even shorter temper, shot back immediately.

“You’re humiliated because you’re useless! If you had any ability at all, would Jiang Yu have pushed you into such a corner?”

Jiang Mingrui and Lin Yue stayed silent. They never got a chance to speak at home.

They didn’t care the least bit about what happened to Jiang Chenghuai.

Even if things went wrong, it wouldn’t affect them anyway.

News of Wu Jingyi going to the factory to demand answers reached Jiang Yu quickly.

It was Xu Lihua who went out to gather the details.

Jiang Yu didn’t care in the slightest. “Let her do as she pleases.”

Xu Lihua calculated the time. “When will Little He be back?”

Jiang Yu glanced at her watch. “Not until afternoon.”

“If he sees your injuries, he’ll lose his mind.”

She had seen firsthand how much He Tingyue doted on her.

Jiang Yu gave a cold smile. “He’ll make sure they pay.”

Xu Lihua never doubted that for a moment.

This couple was definitely not to be trifled with.

Before He Tingyue returned, someone came to visit the compound—Wang Meili.

Wang Meili hadn’t appeared in such a long time that Jiang Ting had nearly forgotten her—and completely overlooked the matter of Jiang Hao.

Her sudden arrival made Jiang Ting immediately connect the situation to Jiang Yu.

“Mom, why are you here now? Let’s go inside and talk.”

Wang Meili yanked her hand away, snapping, “If I didn’t come myself, were you ever going to seek me out? You ungrateful child—you haven’t considered me your mother in ages! Tell me, do you even remember your promise about your brother’s job?”

“I remember, I remember. I’ve been trying to find something suitable for Jiang Hao all along.”

Wang Meili spat on the ground beside her. “Don’t give me that nonsense! His job was supposed to be settled long ago. You promised me you’d get him employed, and I took care of your affairs. But tell me, how long has it been? I held up my end, but where is his job? I’ve been waiting for months!”

If it weren’t for Ye Laotai being so seriously ill, keeping her occupied at home, she would have come sooner.

Never did she expect that Jiang Ting wouldn’t utter a word about it unless she showed up herself.

“Mom, can’t we discuss this indoors? All these nosy neighbors…”

Wang Meili scoffed. “Still concerned about appearances? Think about how many times you’ve tricked me! If you don’t give me a straight answer today, don’t blame me for saying things I shouldn’t!”

Jiang Ting fought back tears. “The position I secured for Jiang Hao last time was taken by someone else. How do you expect me to find him a job overnight?”

“That’s not my problem. You made the promise—you need to fulfill it!”

Jiang Ting bit her lip, thinking to buy time however she could.

"Mom, go home first. Once I get word about the job, I’ll come to you."

Wang Meili laughed, reaching out to twist Jiang Ting’s ear, giving it a sharp tug.

"You think you can fool me? If I go back today, who knows when I’ll hear from you again? I want an answer today!"

Tears welled up in Jiang Ting’s eyes. "Do you have to be so harsh?"

In the past, neighbors might’ve stuck up for her. But after what happened with Jiang Yu yesterday, everyone had turned against Jiang Ting and stood by watching.

Only Lin Hongxia cared about the baby Jiang Ting was carrying.

"Mrs. Wang, considering Jiang Ting’s pregnancy, please be understanding. I promise I’ll have Xiangyang look into it carefully."

Wang Meili didn’t believe her, sneering, "Who knew you’d play the doting mother-in-law? Is it your daughter-in-law you pity, or your grandson?"

Lin Hongxia stiffened. "Both, of course. You’re her mother—don’t you care at all?"

"I have a son of my own, and he’s perfectly capable. I’ll have my own grandson—why should I care about someone else’s?"

Especially one that might not even be legitimate.

"Jiang Ting, it’s not as if I haven’t been patient. You’ve deceived me again and again. However you look at it, this isn’t my fault!"

Jiang Ting looked at Lin Hongxia, tears streaming down her face in panic.

Today, Wang Meili was in no mood to back down. If she wasn’t appeased, she’d surely air their dirty laundry.

But Lin Hongxia wasn’t about to let Wang Meili win. Even if there was a job, it shouldn’t go to Jiang Hao. Fu Xianghong was struggling to raise two children alone—she needed it more.

"Mrs. Wang, if you spoke properly today, I might’ve even offered you tea. But all you care about is the job—how money-grubbing. Does Jiang Ting stop being your daughter without it?"

Lin Hongxia clasped her hands in front of her, her expression dark.

"If that’s how it is, then let’s cut ties for good."

Wang Meili hadn’t planned to say anything harsh, but Lin Hongxia provoked her.

"You think I enjoy dealing with you? That job was the price for your grandson! If Jiang Ting hadn’t promised it to Jiang Hao, do you think you’d have a grandchild? Lin Hongxia, you think your family’s so respectable? A family of worthless men—if it weren’t for me helping Jiang Ting, the Fu name would’ve died with you!"

Jiang Ting grabbed her, pleading, "Mom, stop! Please, stop!"

Wang Meili scoffed. "When your mother-in-law said ugly things, why didn’t you tell her to shut up? I’ve said two words, and you’re already squirming? Jiang Ting, do I need to remind you who the father is—and how he got you pregnant?"

"Shao San’s in jail. The father of your baby is a murderer—did you even know?"
