Chapter 132: Money Is Really Tempting (5)
As the three of them left the tea room, they noticed the awkward and strange atmosphere outside. Jin Shuang glanced at Jiang Zhiyan, who gave her a bright smile, seemingly unaffected by the surrounding atmosphere.
The second uncle, looking at Jin Shuang, said sarcastically, “Jin Shuang, this friend of yours is quite something.”
“Shuangshuang, it seems your second uncle is also cheating,” Jiang Zhiyan said, looking up.
Jin Shuang’s parents were stunned for two seconds, then stared at the second uncle with wide eyes.
“He’s quite experienced,” Jiang Zhiyan continued, shaking her head. “If he ever tries to set you up with anyone, really, don’t trust him.”
The second uncle’s lips twitched rapidly: “I haven’t!”
“Alright, we don’t want to get involved in your family matters, deal with it yourselves, let’s eat first, she’s our guest, why are we discussing such things?” Jin Shuang’s mother said, no longer wanting to listen, she looked at Jin Shuang’s father.
Jin Shuang’s father: ?
“I don’t know anything about this,” he immediately said.
Jin Shuang sat beside Jiang Zhiyan and smiled at her: “Everything’s fine, I’ll find a lawyer tomorrow.”
“That’s good,” Jiang Zhiyan patted the back of Jin Shuang’s hand.
The Jin family dinner was very sumptuous, a table full of dishes.
Besides the second uncle and second aunt, whose moods were terrible, the atmosphere was quite harmonious, and Jiang Zhiyan blended in perfectly.
“Don’t go back tonight, stay here,” Jin Shuang’s mother said, looking at Jin Shuang. “You haven’t stayed at home for a long time.”
Jin Shuang looked at Jiang Zhiyan.
“You can stay here tonight,” Jiang Zhiyan immediately said. “I’ll go back myself.”
“You should stay too, I’ll have someone prepare the guest room,” Jin Shuang’s mother added. “Let’s have some tea and chat tonight.”
“That’s too much trouble,” Jiang Zhiyan said, covering her mouth and smiling. “But since Auntie insists, then I’ll impose on you, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, you don’t mind, do you?”
The second uncle and second aunt, who hadn’t participated in the conversation, looked like they had swallowed a fly, they glared at Jiang Zhiyan: “We’re not staying here tonight.”
“Oh, right, you still have to go home and deal with your family matters,” Jiang Zhiyan nodded. “Second Aunt, really…”
She didn’t say anything, but her expression said it all. The second aunt didn’t respond, just glared at her husband again.
The others were already trying to suppress their laughter.
Jin Shuang’s mother didn’t have a good impression of Jiang Zhiyan, but after meeting her this time, she felt that she had changed. She used to subtly target Jin Shuang, but now she was actually defending her.
It was really strange.
She felt that Jiang Zhiyan had some ulterior motive, but she couldn’t quite figure it out.
Jin Shuang’s mother hoped it wasn’t the case, Jin Shuang was finally doing better, and she now had a good relationship with Jiang Zhiyan, if Jiang Zhiyan also betrayed Jin Shuang, she frowned.
After dinner, Jiang Zhiyan went to wash up. The clothes were provided by Jin Shuang’s mother. Just as she came out of the guest room, she was invited to the small garden by Jin Shuang’s mother.
Jiang Zhiyan wasn’t surprised that she would be approached.
When she arrived, Jin Shuang’s mother was making tea. Seeing her, she smiled: “Would you like some tea?”
“Just a little, I might not be able to sleep if I drink too much tea at night,” Jiang Zhiyan said with a smile, sitting down opposite her. “Thank you.”
Jin Shuang’s mother looked at Jiang Zhiyan: “I remember you used to like Mu Chen very much.”
Jiang Zhiyan didn’t expect her to be so direct, so she also said directly: “I don’t.”
Jin Shuang’s mother was stunned for a second, looking at Jiang Zhiyan: “You don’t seem like it.”
“I like Jin Shuang,” Jiang Zhiyan lowered her voice. “But she liked Mu Chen, so I had to take an indirect approach.”
Jin Shuang’s mother: ???
Jin Shuang’s mother had lived for many years and had seen the world, but this was the first time she had heard of such a thing, she was momentarily speechless.
“Huh?” she looked at Jiang Zhiyan.
Jiang Zhiyan held her teacup: “I discovered Mu Chen’s infidelity, and I’m the one who obtained the evidence, she’s given up on him now.”
Jin Shuang’s mother didn’t speak.
“I hope Auntie won’t object,” Jiang Zhiyan looked at her.
The amount of information was overwhelming. Jin Shuang’s mother looked down at her cup, the tea had overflowed, she quickly stopped pouring and put down the teapot.
“Are you serious?” she asked.
“Mm,” Jiang Zhiyan nodded.
Jin Shuang’s mother felt this was even more absurd, but Jiang Zhiyan’s gaze was sincere, she didn’t seem to be lying.
“You’re not my daughter, I can’t object to anything, as for Jin Shuang, it’s up to her, I can’t control her either,” Jin Shuang’s mother said, then lowered her voice, “But if you try anything funny, if you hurt Shuangshuang, I won’t let you off the hook.”
“So how are you planning to deal with Mu Chen this time?” Jiang Zhiyan asked, looking at Jin Shuang’s mother with anticipation.
Jin Shuang’s mother looked at Jiang Zhiyan’s expression, a bit exasperated, she felt like she had misjudged her before, but to be able to pretend to that extent, she was indeed capable, but how old was this girl?
“That’s our business, let me see the evidence.”
“It’s a bit… explicit, we might need a computer,” Jiang Zhiyan said.
Jin Shuang’s mother nodded and sent a message, and someone quickly brought a laptop. Jiang Zhiyan took out a USB drive from her bag and handed it over.
With a serious expression, she plugged in the USB drive. There were more than ten videos inside, each quite long. When Jin Shuang mentioned 4K high-definition, she thought she was joking, but after opening one, she realized it wasn’t a joke at all. She watched for a few seconds and closed it, her expression darkening.
“How did you even get this? It’s not fake, is it?”
“Don’t worry about how I got it, it’s not fake, there are no signs of editing,” Jiang Zhiyan said, leaning back in her chair.
Jin Shuang’s mother looked through the videos, each labeled with the date, location, and the other person involved. There were five different women, mostly actresses from Mu Chen’s company.
“That animal,” Jin Shuang’s mother said, clenching her fists.
“What are you two talking about?” Jin Shuang asked, pushing the door open. She had heard that Jiang Zhiyan was called over by her mother and immediately came over, afraid of a conflict between the two. As expected, the atmosphere was tense.
Jin Shuang sat down beside Jiang Zhiyan, and her mother, noticing her action, sighed inwardly, this girl had just gotten out of one hole and seemed to be falling into another.
“We’re watching 4K high-definition videos,” Jiang Zhiyan said.
Jin Shuang froze for a second, then realized what she meant, glanced at the laptop screen, randomly opened a video, watched for thirty seconds expressionlessly, her face unreadable, as if she was watching some promotional video, she frowned and closed it: “It really is high-definition.”
System: …
“Don’t any of you feel awkward?”
“I’m sorry, I rarely experience that emotion,” Jiang Zhiyan said.
“Oh, right, you’re thick-skinned,” the System said, glancing at the other two, they didn’t seem embarrassed either.
Jin Shuang leaned back in her chair and suddenly thought of something: “Should we send one to Mu Chen, to scare him?”
“We can,” Jiang Zhiyan sat up. “That sounds fun, wait, let me add an intro.”
Jin Shuang only understood after a moment what Jiang Zhiyan meant: “That would indeed be quite a scare.”
Jin Shuang’s mother sat there, not knowing what to say, but she didn’t stop them either.
Jiang Zhiyan quickly edited the video and sent it to Mu Chen’s email address.
Mu Chen, sitting in his study, unable to focus on work, saw a new email notification, leaned closer to the screen, and seeing it was from Jin Shuang, smiled faintly, he knew she couldn’t resist, and now she was even using email, how creative, was it an apology letter?
He opened the email and found a compressed file, he frowned, patiently decompressed it, opened the video, and was stunned by the intro, after the intro, seeing the somewhat familiar room decor, he didn’t react for a moment, until his own face appeared on the screen, he froze.
Every second that followed shocked him, Mu Chen, who had lived a smooth-sailing life for thirty years, had never encountered anything like this before, his heart pounding.
He finally understood why Jin Shuang had been acting strangely these past two days.
But how did she get this video?
The video was a single, continuous shot, without any editing, but the camera was clearly moving, as if someone was holding a camera by the bed, but how was that possible?
Mu Chen took a deep breath, leaned back in his chair, and opened his phone, deep in thought.
After sending the video, the three returned downstairs. The housekeeper had prepared a fruit platter.
The other relatives had already left, only the four of them remained.
Jiang Zhiyan sat by the coffee table, peeling grapes.
Jin Shuang’s mother glanced at Jiang Zhiyan, this girl was truly presumptuous and informal, she hadn’t even told her to treat this place as her own home yet, thinking about what Jiang Zhiyan had said earlier, she suspected Jiang Zhiyan was very confident she could become a part of this family.
“I wonder how Mu something is reacting right now,” Jiang Zhiyan said, popping a grape into her mouth. Jin Shuang, seeing the juice squirt out, took two napkins and offered them to Jiang Zhiyan, who didn’t take them, just tilted her face up, and Jin Shuang wiped her mouth.
Jin Shuang’s mother closed her eyes and turned away.
“He hasn’t finished watching it yet, has he?” Jiang Zhiyan asked.
“He wouldn’t be that perverted and watch the whole thing, would he?” Jiang Zhiyan twitched the corner of her mouth. “Send him a message, tell him his figure is terrible.”
“What?” Jin Shuang’s father, who hadn’t been paying attention, heard Jiang Zhiyan’s words and looked puzzled.
His wife pulled him closer and whispered a few words in his ear, and his previously calm face darkened.
Jin Shuang handed her phone to Jiang Zhiyan: “Say whatever you want yourself.”
Jiang Zhiyan wiped her fingers with a napkin, thought for three seconds, and then typed rapidly, attacking based on “Top 1 thing men care about most” in her database, she couldn’t be wrong.
[Jin Shuang: Your figure is terrible, terrible in every aspect, also, are you taking medication? Her acting was quite good though, as expected of an actress, I suggest giving her a raise, she suffered a lot, she sacrificed so much to make you happy.]
The system suspected Jiang Zhiyan was taking revenge for personal reasons.
[Mu Chen: You’re not Jin Shuang.]
[Jin Shuang: But that doesn’t invalidate my assessment, you are terrible.]
[Mu Chen: Where did you get this video?]
Jiang Zhiyan ignored him and returned the phone to Jin Shuang: “He still has the audacity to ask me where I got the video from, shameless.”
“Audacious? He still dares to ask?!” Jin Shuang’s father, still fuming, took the phone and sent a long, angry voice message.
Jiang Zhiyan peeled another grape and winked at Jin Shuang, listening to her father’s relentless tirade.
