Chapter 681 Negotiating with Her
"What do you think? You didn't expect it, did you? Jiang Mubai, you probably wouldn't even believe it even in your dreams. But it can't be helped that it's me. I pretended to be Chu Xin. I'm really happy to see your reaction. Even someone as smart as you didn't notice it."
Jiang Mubai had indeed suspected this before, but she thought that Jiang Jinglan would not go to such great lengths to mobilize people like Wen Nuohan and Ren Xueer to deal with her. Unexpectedly, Jiang Jinglan actually found these people to help her.
"I really didn't expect that Miss Wen is really amazing for hiding by my side for so long. I underestimated you."
"Humph! It's not too late for you to know how amazing I am. I endured the discomfort and attended classes with you for so long. Do you know how difficult it was for me?"
"Why should I know? I didn't force you to do this. Besides, unlike Miss Wen, I don't feel uncomfortable in class. Instead, I enjoy it!"
"Jiang Mubai, you are really so stubborn even when you are about to die. I want to see how you cry and beg me to spare your life!"
"Really? Then I'd like to see if you can see that side of me."
Jiang Mubai dared to do this because she knew that Jiang An's people were secretly observing their every move. Otherwise, she would not have been so reckless as to provoke a crazy person like Wen Nuohan.
Seeing Jiang Mubai and Wen Nuohan reminiscing about the past as if they were alone, Jiang Jinglan felt like he was being ignored and immediately spoke up to stop them in order to regain his presence among them.
"Have you two had enough chatting? Don't you know I'm still waiting here? You don't seem surprised to see me here, Jiang Mubai? Could it be that you have already guessed it?"
"That's for sure! Since Wen Nuohan has revealed that she pretended to be Chu Xin, isn't everything clear? It's not hard to guess, right? Besides you, who else would cooperate with her to do these things to me?"
"Now that you know, it's useless. You're already here anyway. No one else in the Jiang family's old house knows you've come out except me, so forget about waiting for someone else to save you! You're destined not to return alive after falling into my hands today!"
"I don't understand. There is no deep hatred between you and me, so why would you risk your own life to kill me? Can't we be so extreme and sit down and talk it over calmly?"
"Discuss? Who wants to discuss with you? Now that you are in my hands and you see that you can't escape, you want to discuss with me? When you humiliated and mocked me, why didn't you think that you, Jiang Mubai, would also have this day? Remember I told you, on the first day you came to the old house, I warned you that you would have a hard time, but you didn't listen and insisted on doing this."
"Now you see, you risked your life for things that don't belong to you. You deserve it. You know what I mean? If you think about things that don't belong to you, you will be punished."
"And why must I do this to you?? What do you know? How long have you been in the Jiang family and you think you know everything about our Jiang family? I must have my own purpose for doing this, but you probably don't understand. I don't intend to tell you, and you can go down with such regret. It's a pity that your child has not been born yet and has followed you down without knowing why. It's better this way, you two can go on the road together and have a companion."
From Jiang Jinglan's words, Jiang Mubai seemed to have heard a little bit of the other party's real purpose in dealing with her in this way, but she couldn't keep asking if Jiang Jinglan didn't say anything. Then Jiang Jinglan would use this to threaten her to do something. Jiang Mubai would not let others know her purpose so easily. Anyway, she would have the chance to ask Jiang Jinglan clearly in the future, so there was no need to rush. After all, there were more important things waiting for her now.
"So, Sister Jinglan, what do you want to do now? I'm already in your hands, so you have the final say."
Seeing Jiang Mubai being so easy to talk to, Jiang Jinglan was incredulous: "What? Now that you understand your situation, you are being sweet and easy to talk to? You even call me Sister Jinglan! If you had known that this day would come, would you still dare to treat me like that in the old house?"
"Of course not. If I knew I couldn't beat you in the end, I would have packed up and left a long time ago. After all, life is the most important thing, right? Wouldn't it be a waste if I got so much money but ended up dying to spend it?"
"It's too late for you to think of this now. I warned you a long time ago, but you didn't listen. You can't blame me."
"Sister Jinglan, don't say that. It's not without benefits to keep me."
"What's the benefit? I'm annoyed by you. What's the benefit of keeping you here?"
"Of course I'm helping you! If you don't want your share of the property to be divided up by others, then you can keep me in the Jiang family. I'll give you all the property I get. The two of us together will get much more than your one share, right?"
"This is indeed a good idea, but why should I listen to you? Having someone like you around is like a time bomb. Who knows if it will suddenly explode and injure me one day? It's safer for me not to let you go out alive. At least I'm not as ambitious as you. As long as I stay in the Jiang family honestly and keep my share, no one can take it away from me. I don't need your share either."
Seeing that the negotiation failed, Jiang Mubai had to find other ways to try to make Jiang Jinglan give up. Although Jiang Mubai knew that she had a way out, she didn't really want to see Jiang Jinglan take that step to deal with her.
"What about your second uncle? Aren't you worried that he can't bear it if you treat me like this? It's not easy for him to find me back. Aren't you afraid that he will be disappointed if you treat him like this? And do you really think you can hide what you did from him and the Jiang family?"
"It's already this late. Stop worrying about others and worry about yourself!"
"I've already been caught by you and brought here, so what do I have to worry about? The outcome will be just like that. I just saw that your second uncle is so good to you, so wouldn't you feel guilty for doing this to him behind his back?"
"When the time comes, I'll be filial to him after I'm done with you. That's what I planned when his daughter got in a car accident. Anyway, I'm the only child left in the Jiang family. My second uncle will always be my second uncle. I can't just ignore him. When the time comes, I'll bring him home to live with my parents and treat him the same way I treat my parents."
"This is the arrangement you mentioned. Aren't you afraid that my disappearance will arouse his suspicion? If he investigates you, how are you going to explain it to him?"
"What's there to explain? Since I dare to do this, I will definitely clear myself from this completely so that he won't be able to suspect me. I don't mind creating another car accident for him to see. I guess by then he will be as sad as he was back then and unable to investigate it himself, right?"
