Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Not Even Considering Whose Person Qiu Ruoxi Is
Jiang Kaishan, being the person involved, was naturally aware that this matter was not just a rumor, but truly existed, and it had caused a huge scandal back then—he, Jiang Kaishan, had expended not a small amount of effort to resolve it!
And now someone had brought up the past issue again, claiming to seek confirmation, but actually wanting him dead!
This is even crueler than humiliation!
Jiang Kaishan gazed towards the source of the voice and saw a young man, handsome and dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking at Jiang Kaishan with a faint smile on his face.
"Mr. Jiang, may I also confirm with you, is it really true?" The young man had a teasing smile on his face.
"Zhao Changsheng, what do you mean?" Jiang Kaishan looked grimly at Zhao Changsheng.
Zhao Changsheng chuckled lightly, "What can I mean? I just want to verify and see whether the issue that caused such an uproar back then was true or false!"
"You..."
"Mr. Jiang, now you understand what it feels like to be doubted, right?" Zhao Changsheng, undeterred, looked at Jiang Kaishan, "Feels terrible, doesn’t it?"
"You’re not willing to do charity, not willing to help these lovely children—no one is forcing you!" Zhao Changsheng said softly, "Miss Qiu also said, if you think she is deceiving, then you can just walk away!"
"No one’s stopping you, so why must you rub salt in others’ wounds?"
"By doing this, are you able to ascend to heaven or burrow into the earth..."
"Zhao Changsheng..."
"Mr. Jiang, everyone here probably knows what kind of person Miss Qiu is. Does Miss Qiu need to resort to such low tactics to deceive people?"
Speaking, Zhao Changsheng’s face was filled with contempt: "And who is Miss Qiu after all? She is a rising star in the Jiangzhong City business world, and even across the entire Zhonghai Province Miss Qiu is a top-notch figure!"
"If she were so easily deceived, then I fear the Huangtu Group would have become a mere ’shell company’ by now, not far from going bankrupt!"
Although in terms of status, he, Zhao Changsheng, was not comparable to Jiang Kaishan, he was nonetheless unafraid of Jiang Kaishan.
Others might not know that Qiu Ruoxi is Ye Xunhuan’s wife, but he knew it, and he also knew Ye Xunhuan was a big deal and preferred not to show off. Otherwise, at the moment Ye Xunhuan appeared, he would have immediately gone to greet him.
By toying with Qiu Ruoxi now, Zhao Changsheng wasn’t seeking death, was he?
Mu Tiange had been dealt with by Ye Xunhuan and was still being detained. What kind of standing do you have, daring to undermine Ye Xunhuan’s wife’s authority!
Being a subordinate of Ye Xunhuan’s subordinate, you should be conscious that when your mistress is being attacked, naturally, you must step forward and fight back!
So, Zhao Changsheng stood up, without any hesitation.
"Zhao is right. Mr. Jiang, you really went too far today!" Xu Mingzhe also immediately stood up and said, "We all bear witness to Miss Qiu’s character—you dare to doubt Miss Qiu and even humiliate this senior citizen!"
"Have all our Huaxia’s values of respecting the elderly and loving the young been fed to dogs by you?" Xu Mingzhe was not as polite as Zhao Changsheng was: "And if one had money, who would actually lower their head like a beggar and beg!"
"All they want is to survive, just that, so why must you aggressively force them into a corner leading to death!"
Xu Mingzhe spoke forcefully, "I can see this elderly person is genuinely out for these children, to let them have warmth, to let them read books, to let them receive medical treatment when sick, but here you are constantly misleading the public—what exactly are your intentions?"
Originally, Xu Mingzhe hadn’t planned to step forward, but after seeing Zhao Changsheng do so, he could not hold back.
He wanted to win Qiu Ruoxi’s hand, and now that Zhao Changsheng had spoken, if she developed a liking for Zhao Changsheng, wouldn’t he be left behind?
At that moment, Xu Mingzhe also stood up directly, and he did so from a moral high ground, vehemently condemning Jiang Kaishan.
Instantly, Jiang Kaishan’s face burned painfully as if someone had fiercely slapped him across the face.
Zhao Changsheng, he could disregard him, an insignificant son of a municipal committee secretary was not worth his attention, but Xu Mingzhe was different.
They were equals in status. Otherwise, one wouldn’t be called the First Son and the other the Second Son!
"Miss Qiu and young master Zhao just said if you don’t like it here, you can leave. No one is stopping you!" Xu Mingzhe said bluntly!
For a moment, Jiang Kaishan’s complexion stiffened to the extreme, and the gloomy look in his eyes thickened, his face almost looked like it was twisting water.
He wanted to retaliate, but he didn’t even know how to begin speaking, as Xu Mingzhe completely occupied the moral high ground. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
The way others looked at Jiang Kaishan also changed; many began to grow disgusted.
Although the wealthier people are, the more they care about money, that doesn’t mean everyone is as devoid of compassion as Jiang Kaishan.
All the more so now that Xu Mingzhe had spoken up.
At that moment, Jiang Kaishan was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Facing the complex and somewhat contemptuous gazes from the crowd, Jiang Kaishan snorted heavily. "It’s not that I, Jiang Kaishan, want to make things difficult for people, nor is it my intention to drive anyone to a dead end!"
"Just to verify, is that it?" Xu Mingzhe scoffed.
"Yes!" Jiang Kaishan was now adamantly clinging to verification!
"I seek clarification!"
A crisp and somewhat abrupt voice suddenly resonated in the banquet hall.
Immediately, people couldn’t help but turn their heads towards the source of the sound.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, a man and a woman had appeared at some point!
The woman was dressed in a red dress, and likewise, was wearing a pair of red high heels.
The woman’s figure was the kind that countless women dream of, an S-shaped silhouette that could be described as perfect. Her looks were no less striking than her figure.
Although the woman was beautiful and captivating, there probably weren’t many men who dared to approach her.
The arresting sharpness in her originally enchanting and appealing phoenix eyes was like an unsheathed sword, yet this sharpness was overwhelming.
The man beside her looked about twenty-four or twenty-five, dressed in a western suit and boots, with well-defined features and short hair standing up like bristles, giving off an extremely efficient and composed vibe.
Under everyone’s gaze, the woman took a step towards Jiang Kaishan.
In an instant, the woman reached Jiang Kaishan, and without saying a word, swung her right hand directly towards his face.
"Smack!"
The unguarded Jiang Kaishan was slapped across the face by the woman, leaving him completely stunned.
"You scoundrel, daring to cause trouble at Qiu Ruoxi’s charity gala. Who do you think you are?" the woman said fiercely. "And not even considering whose event Qiu Ruoxi is hosting!"
