Chapter 478: Meeting VI

Everyone was surprised by Jiang Ru’s revelation that she cracked a deal with Han Zihao. It’s not an easy task after all. She purchased land from the man who rules the business world?

That’s a great way to make connections with him.

“Ms. Jiang, You made a business deal with Mr. Han Zihao? Didn’t he refuse to do business with us in the past? How come he has agreed to do the deal with you? It’s very surprising news.” One of the shareholders said in amazement.

” Buying land to build a hotel with your own money is not easy. Ms. Jiang Ru, you must have spent a fortune on it. Are you sure that land is worth spending all your fortune on it?” Someone asked.

Jiang Ru was wiping her nonexistent tears with a tissue and halted in action when she heard the question. She looked up at the man and pursed his lips in hesitation as she wasn’t sure how to answer this question.

Sure? Was she confident about it? She played a gamble by using all of her life savings on this land. If anything goes wrong with this large investment, her life will be wrecked.

Her eyes wavered but she soon regained her confidence and answered with conviction in her voice. ” Of course, I am sure about it. I purchased this land from the king of the business world, Han Zihao. Mr. Xiu, do you think he will cheat on me by selling worthless land to me?”

.....

” I believe in the work ethic of Mr. Han. I am sure he will not betray me and will also support me in the decisions that I will make in the future.” She added, giving the impression to everyone that she has a close relationship with Han Zihao.

Everyone was impressed by her response and grew curious about her relationship with Han Zihao. If she is close to Han Zihao, then it is better for her to stay in the company so that they could also reap some benefits from her relationship with Han Zihao.

” Ms. Jiang Ru has made a huge investment. It was so brave of you!” One of the shareholders said.

” You must be close with Mr. Han if he sold the land to you at a price lower than the market prince. You crack a golden deal!” Another person added to cheer on her and show her support to her.

” Yes. It wasn’t easy to buy that land at such a price, but I got lucky. Also, Mr. Han is such a gentleman. He even helped me to make the documentation work easier for me. However, it looks like I am not fortunate when it comes to my family.”

“Even my grandfather is trying to abandon me. What can I expect from strangers?” Her voice quivered when she said this, causing everyone to feel bad for her.

While Jiang Ru was trying to convince the other shareholders with her tears and fake sincerity, Grandfather Jiang who was watching her acting like this, couldn’t help but chuckle in mocking to see her faking crying like this.

The girl who could plan someone’s murder, can her tears ever be sincere? Never!

He sneered and looked at Jiang Ru with a not-so-surprised smirk on his face and said, “Jiang Ru, are you done with your acting? Should I start talking now?”

This time he didn’t even bother to add the formalities in front of everyone and called her by her name. However, the way he called her name, everyone felt the sudden coldness in the atmosphere.

His voice was cold and distant as if he was talking to a stranger.

“Yes?” Jiang Ru was surprised by the cold attitude of Grandfather Jiang and just like others, she was shocked as well.

The way he called her name scared her. ‘Why does he look so confident about himself?’

‘Is something wrong? Did he find out about something?’ She wondered.

‘How can it be possible? There is no way anyone can find out about the things I did. I made sure to clean everything after myself.’

Grandfather Jiang looked at her with a stern look in his eyes and asked coldly, “Do you think that you deserve to succeed me and become the head of the Jiang Corporations just because you’re my granddaughter?”

Before Jiang Ru could respond to his question, Grandfather Jiang pushed her to the corner with his words and laughed mockingly at her before saying, ” Jiang Corporations is the company that I founded with hard work and had struggled for half of my life to make this company large enough for you to sit comfortably in the air-conditioned offices.”

” I will not allow anyone to ruin the reputation of the company that I had established with my sweat and blood. Not even you or your father. Jiang Corporations don’t need corrupt criminals and murderers like you in the company.” Grandfather Jiang attacked Jiang Ru with his brutal but truthful words which shocked everyone.

In the past few months, he has been avoiding her because she was keeping tabs on his every step. It was getting suffocating and difficult that his physical and mental strength was giving away as well.

He wanted to find justice for Jiang Yue by punishing Jiang Ru, however, he couldn’t do anything as she was keeping an eye on his every step which was making things difficult for him to do anything under her watch.

It was as if he was being scrutinized even in his house.

He was struggling to keep his emotions in control and how to deal with this situation without letting Jiang Ru trample over him.

However, thankfully he decided to be brave and revealed the truth to Han Zihao and that Jiang Yue’s accident was not just an accident.

That man has been the biggest pillar and strength in his life in fighting against the schemes of Jiang Ru and had helped him to teach the biggest life lesson to this brat girl who has become a criminal now.

Thanks to Han Zihao, he can now stand confidently in front of Jiang Ru and look into her eyes, without hiding away the hateful gaze in his eyes.

While Grandfather Jiang was pleased that he finally let out the truth from his mouth, Jiang Ru’s face went pale at his words.

How....how did he find out? Her hands were freezing cold and she was sweating out of nervousness.

Even though she wasn’t sure what was happening to her body, she could feel things were not good at all.

Before she could prepare a response to his provocative words, the other shareholders started whispering to each other, drifting her attention away from the matter.

“Mr. Chairman, what is going on? What do you mean by a corrupt person and a murderer?”

“Yes, Mr. Chairman. We also want to know what is going on. Do you know about something that we aren’t aware of?”

“I hope you’re serious about what you’re talking about and could prove your claims with evidence. It’s not right to accuse someone without proper investigation and evidence. Such accusations could ruin someone’s career.”

Jiang Ru came to her senses and shook her head fervently, ” Grandfather, what....what are you talking about? What do you mean by a corrupt person? How can you call me a corrupt person after I spent all of my life savings just to fulfill your dream?”

” If you do not have any evidence, then I believe you should be mindful of your words. Calling someone a murderer is not a joke and shouldn’t be treated as lightly.” She said to protect her reputation.

Even if he had found out about something, as long as he doesn’t have any evidence, it doesn’t matter. Nothing can go wrong because she cleared everything and is sure that she didn’t leave any evidence behind.

Grandfather Jiang turned to Jiang Ru and said with a smirk on his face, ” Do you think I will make such accusations in front of everyone without having evidence in my hands?”

Jiang Ru: “.....”
