Chapter 5: Let Me Bless You All

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Fu Xiting did not know much about Jiang Yi. All he knew was what everyone had said in private.

She was quiet and reserved, aloof from worldly affairs.

To put it bluntly, he was just stunned and did not know how to resist. He could not win against the other party, but today, it seemed to be contrary to the rumors.

Fu Xiting curled his fingers. “What fair opinion?”

“Was Jiang Si at the nightclub yesterday?”

Jiang Yi’s tone was calm, but there was an aggressiveness in it that didn’t match her age.

There was no extra inflection in her concise tone.

When Jiang Si saw Fu Xiting, panic flashed across her heart. She took a step forward. “Sister, Grandpa said that we’ll talk about this in the future.”

Jiang Yi’s gaze was cold. “In the future? What future?”

She turned back to look at the old master. “If Grandpa believes me, there’s no need to wait for the future. If Grandpa doesn’t believe me, this is just an excuse to make me kneel in the ancestral hall in the future.”

Facing Jiang Yi’s aggressiveness, the old master’s deep gaze became more probing. “Yiyi…”

Fu Xiting watched the show for a few minutes as a bystander. His gaze landed on Jiang Yi and sized her up.

“Elder Jiang, I’m here today to clarify this matter.”

When Jiang Si heard this, her entire body trembled.

The gloating that had surged up just now had all disappeared and was replaced by fear.

“Since I’m engaged to Jiang Yi, we’re naturally one. Outsiders know that Jiang Yi is the Fu family’s fiancée, but they still schemed against her and wanted to find someone to rape her. This is not only a slap in the face of the Jiang family, but also the Fu family.”

Fu Xiting was a calm person. Years of business acumen had made him exude the aura of a king. He did not need to be angry to become the ruler of the place.

At this moment, even though Master Jiang was more knowledgeable and experienced than him, he could not help but be stunned by this junior.

It was a typical gathering, but it turned into seeking justice.

The old master suddenly understood why Fu Xiting insisted on letting Jiang Yi come.

So this was the deeper meaning.

“Xi Ting is right.”

“Sisi, tell me, what happened?”

Jiang Si panicked a little when she was suddenly called out.

She looked at Fu Xiting with anticipation, as if she expected him to open his mouth and save her.

Fu Xiting was in his thirties this year. His experience and knowledge were among the top in the upper circle of the capital.

In the early years, the Fu family members had either died or been injured because of their family struggles. Fu Xiting was one of the few who had survived. He had entered the business world in his early twenties. All these years, to put it in a more civilized way, he had been boldly expanding the territory. To put it bluntly, he had pulled down the people who had stepped on them back then and made them pay a heavy price.

He had never let anyone off. Someone once said that the blood on his hands was comparable to the water that others had drunk in their lives.

Some people respected him.

Naturally, there were also people who were afraid of him.

“Last night, I was called out by my classmates to have fun. I’m not too sure about other things.”

Jiang Si’s words were a little arrogant.

It was unknown if she was being stared at by Fu Xiting or Jiang Yi.

“Are you unclear or don’t want to tell us?” Jiang Yi pursued relentlessly.

“Jiang Yi, what do you mean? Are you insisting that I colluded with them and didn’t care when I saw you being bullied?”

“Yes!” Jiang Yi said concisely, throwing out a word. Staring at Jiang Si was not something she could do in the past.

Yi Tian had been shocked for a long time. Her shock was indescribable.

The person in front of her was her daughter but she was so different.

In twenty-two years, she had never seen her daughter so unyielding.

Jiang Si was the same.

Jiang Yi’s approach left her with no chance to catch her breath.

“Jiang Yi, you said that Jiang Si colluded with them and didn’t care if you were dead or alive. Aren’t you aggressively pushing the blame on her now?”

Xu Yizhi saw that Jiang Si was being suppressed. Although she was afraid of Fu Xiting, if she didn’t speak up, Jiang Si’s reputation would definitely be tarnished.

Jiang Yi rolled her eyes. “Second Aunt, according to what you’re saying, if someone bullied me and tarnished our Jiang family’s reputation, should I swallow my anger? They wanted to rape me, so I should let them rape me? If they wanted to kill me, should I let them kill me? If they want me to kneel in the ancestral hall without distinguishing between right and wrong, do I have to kneel? Am I so benevolent and self-sacrificing in Second Aunt’s eyes? If that’s the case, shouldn’t Grandpa lose the ancestral table in the ancestral hall and kowtow to me a few times for me to bless you?”

When Jiang Yi’s rebellious words came out, one could hear a pin drop in the living room.

The way Fu Xiting stared at Jiang Yi was no longer sizing her up. The words “sizing her up” could no longer describe his current gaze.

As for Guan Qing, his face was filled with fear.

These people from the capital’s aristocratic families hated the matter of disrespecting elders the most.

It was said that fortune-tellers were poor and incense burners were rich. This group of people was best at piously kneeling in front of their ancestors and asking for blessings.

And Jiang Yi was none other than the one who went against them.

In aristocratic families, it was very difficult for outsiders to survive. He had seen too many of them.

The old master was so angry that his entire body was trembling. If not for Fu Xiting’s presence, he would not have been able to hold the walking stick in his hand.

What about Jiang Yi?

She was fearless.

Her gaze was still cold. “If you can’t handle it, call the police! The drug will exist in the blood for 24 hours. There were so many people last night, one or two of them would definitely dare to speak up.”

“Jiang Yi…” The old master gritted his teeth and said, “Family scandals should not be aired in public.”

“What family scandal? Is it very honorable for them to cover up for their partners in crime?”

Jiang Yi retorted.

With her attitude, everyone present knew that she had to fight to the end.

Jiang Yi would also take advantage of Fu Xiting’s presence to gain a foothold.

If today’s matter didn’t work out, Old Master Jiang would still mess with her in the future.

As long as Fu Xiting was still around today, even if he did not say anything, she was confident that she could win.

In an instant, the living room was silent.

When Fu Xiting looked down, he saw the blood on her ankle.

The bloodstains from the glass shards had already dried up.

Fu Xiting’s gaze slowly moved away and landed on Guan Qing. He understood and coughed. “Elder Jiang, why don’t we let Second Miss Jiang apologize for this matter? We’re all family. If the apology is sincere enough, I believe Eldest Miss will let this matter pass on your account.”

Guan Qing mediated. Even if the old master was furious, he would endure it.

Was Jiang Si willing?

She was unwilling.

However, she was in a difficult position now. Everyone in the room was looking at her, and the old master was giving her a warning look.

She had no choice but to speak.

Jiang Si tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes and said shakily, “Sister, I’m sorry.”

“Apologize for what? I don’t accept unclear apologies.”
