Chapter 1021: Chapter 1018: Upholding Justice Over Family Ties
Yang Tao lowered her head in grievance, murmuring, "Wendong, I’m fine, just pretend you didn’t see anything!"
Xu Wendong was furious: "I said before, as long as I’m here, I won’t let you suffer any injustice. Do you think I was just talking nonsense?"
Just then.
A displeased voice came from the door: "This is a place to eat, what are you shouting about as a bodyguard? Want to bet if I’ll fire you right now?"
Seeing the sudden appearance of the young man, a hint of fear flashed through Yang Tao’s eyes.
Xu Wendong also caught the hint of fear in Yang Tao’s eyes, his expression turned cold: "Was it you who hit Sister Taozi?"
"Yes, it was me who hit her, what can you do about it?" Song Jin looked at Xu Wendong with arrogance in his eyes.
Xu Wendong stepped forward: "Which hand did you use to hit her?"
Song Jin raised his right hand, smiling as he asked, "It was this hand, what of it?"
"Then I’ll cripple that arm of yours!" A glint of cold light flashed in Xu Wendong’s eyes.
Just as he was about to make a move to cripple Song Jin’s arm, he was immediately stopped by Yang Tao, who was filled with panic and said, "Wendong, don’t act recklessly, this guy is the chairman’s grandson!"
Yang Tao had only learned of Song Jin’s identity beforehand when she ran into him just after he returned from studying abroad while helping Jiang Xueyao deliver some documents.
At their first meeting, the other party harbored bad intentions toward her, even speaking lewdly, wanting Yang Tao to stay with him overnight.
Yang Tao naturally refused, but this angered the other party, who then slapped her.
Although she was displeased with Song Jin, she knew with Xu Wendong’s strength, he could definitely make him cry for mercy.
But he is, after all, the chairman’s grandson, and Jiang Xueyao’s cousin.
If he really got hurt.
Xu Wendong would surely be punished, possibly even fired.
She didn’t want them to break up just after getting together.
Song Jin looked at Xu Wendong with disdain, sarcastically scoffing, "Didn’t you say you were going to cripple my arm? Come on, try touching me!"
"If you dare touch me, I’ll make sure you regret it!"
Jiang Xueyao, wearing high heels, walked in with an expressionless face: "What’s going on?"
Seeing Jiang Xueyao, Song Jin transformed completely, his arrogant demeanor vanished, replaced with grievance in his eyes: "Sister, this bodyguard is too arrogant, he doesn’t even acknowledge me, you should fire him!"
Jiang Xueyao glanced at Xu Wendong, her previously aloof demeanor noticeably softened: "What happened?"
Xu Wendong: "Sister Taozi’s injury on her face was inflicted by him."
Jiang Xueyao also noticed the injuries on Yang Tao’s face. She immediately flew into a rage: "Did you hit her?"
"Sister, it was her who called me shameless first." Song Jin nervously shrunk his neck. Although he’s Elder Master Jiang’s grandson and is doted upon by him,
he is genuinely afraid of his cousin Jiang Xueyao.
Because Jiang Xueyao really dares to hit him.
And.
Even when hitting him, not even the elder dares to stop her.
Changing his tone, Song Jin angrily glared at Xu Wendong: "And this guy, he even threatened to cripple my arm earlier!"
"Then why not cripple an arm as punishment!" Jiang Xueyao grabbed Song Jin’s right arm and immediately twisted it hard.
With a cracking sound.
Song Jin let out an agonized scream, startling all the dining staff in the restaurant.
Even Xu Wendong and Yang Tao were startled, clearly not expecting Jiang Xueyao to act so decisively.
"Get out, and don’t let me see you in the manor again." Jiang Xueyao said coldly, then turned to Xu Wendong and Yang Tao: "Let’s go, let’s have lunch."
"Jiang Xueyao, just you wait." Song Jin yelled in pain, clutching his right arm with one hand, stumbling as he ran outside.
"President Jiang, you didn’t have to do that." Yang Tao said nervously.
"That brat needed a lesson, it’s no big deal." Jiang Xueyao said dismissively.
In fact, she didn’t quite like her cousin’s personality, which is why she recommended sending him abroad for studies.
She had hoped it would toughen his character, but little did she expect him to cause trouble as soon as he returned.
Of course.
For ordinary matters, she might turn a blind eye.
But today is different.
Since Xu Wendong insisted on crippling Song Jin’s arm, she had no choice but to comply.
Because she must respect Xu Wendong.
While the three of them were having lunch, Jiang Xueyao received a call: "Hm, okay, I’ll be right there."
After hanging up, she smiled at Xu Wendong and Yang Tao: "I have something to take care of, you guys go ahead and eat!" With that, she got up and left.
A moment later, she arrived at a large suite.
At this time.
All of the Jiang Family members were present, the atmosphere was very solemn.
In addition, there were Song Jin’s cries of pain.
"Xueyao, how could you be so cruel, even if your cousin did wrong, you didn’t have to be so harsh, did you?" Aunt Jiang Yanhong sobbed angrily, her eyes full of fury.
Jiang Xueyao’s parents, her second uncle and aunt, though silent, had stern expressions.
They also felt Jiang Xueyao had gone too far this time.
Elder Master Jiang was filled with anger, speaking in a low voice: "Just because Xu Wendong said to cripple Song Jin’s arm, you forgot about your kinship with Song Jin?"
"He’s just your bodyguard, why would you listen to an outsider?"
"Could it be, he’s bewitching you?"
Jiang Xueyao said: "Grandfather, this matter has nothing to do with Xu Wendong, it’s all because of Song Jin’s uselessness."
"He’s been relying on being your grandson, always acting arrogantly and recklessly."
"I’ll let it slide on other days, but now, everyone is watching our Jiang Family’s every move."
"It was lucky that he offended Taozi today, have you thought about what would happen if he offended someone else?"
Elder Master Jiang gave a cold hum: "Even if Song Jin offended others, they would show our Jiang Family some courtesy."
Currently, the entire Jiang family is on a bit of a high.
After all.
They’re hosting a major gathering in two days, and all attendees are prominent cultivators from the South China Region.
This can solidify and elevate the Jiang Family’s status, making them a force no one dares to provoke.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Jiang Xueyao’s eyes, she then said: "At this point, I won’t hide anything from you."
"The reason our Jiang Family can hold this gathering is all thanks to Xu Wendong."
"He is doing this to help us fight against the Qin Family’s suppression."
"Until now, did you still naively believe the Jiang Family could host this event because the Mountain and Water Manor is picturesque?"
With these words, everyone gasped, each person’s eyes filled with astonishment.
Elder Master Jiang’s lips trembled: "Isn’t he your bodyguard? How could he have so much influence?"
