Chapter 666: Entangled

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As a mother, Wu Xue’s mother naturally wanted to save her child. She was also willing to sacrifice everything for her child. This was motherly love.

This did not mean that she could accept her child’s indifferent attitude. Wu Xue actually tacitly agreed to this method in front of her and wanted to use her mother’s life to take the blame for her.

This meant that she did not have any attachment to her mother. As long as she could get away with it, it did not matter if she did not have her mother.

Wu Xue’s mother could not accept that the child she loved would do this. She grabbed her wrist. “Xiao Xue, I heard wrongly, right? You actually can’t bear to part with me, right?”

If it were any other time, Wu Xue might have coaxed her mother and made her willingly sacrifice herself for her. However, after experiencing Jiang An and the others pressing on her step by step just now, Wu Xue’s psychological defense had already collapsed.

Even the Zhao family couldn’t let Jiang An take a step back. This meant that she really had no way out. If no one helped her, she would really go to jail.

“Mom, you love me the most in this world, so you should pay for me,” Wu Xue said.

Wu Xue’s mother looked at her daughter. In her eyes, this was no longer her daughter, but a demon that had crawled out of hell.

“What’s going on? Didn’t you say that you were holding a welcome party? It doesn’t look like it.” Chen Xiang walked over with a smile.

Jiang An didn’t expect her to appear here, but there was no deep hatred between the two of them. It was better to pretend not to see her.

However, Chen Xiang did not want to do that. She took the initiative to walk up to Jiang An. “Miss Jiang, it’s been a long time. I saw Miss Wu crying like that. Did she do something to make you unhappy?”

Sophie couldn’t take it anymore. She didn’t have much interaction with Chen Xiang, and she knew what was on the news. She wasn’t as innocent as she looked.

However, she was more scheming than Tan Si and would not play tricks so blatantly.

“Miss Chen needs evidence. Wu Xue’s willingness to ignore her own matters has nothing to do with our An’an,” Sophie said.

“But I just saw Miss Jiang say something. No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem to be unrelated. We’re all here to attend the banquet. It’s better not to be unhappy over some small matter.” Chen Xiang’s smile did not fade.

Sophie was now sure that Chen Xiang was going against An’an. She said this to make everyone think that Jiang An was being aggressive.

After all, this matter had nothing to do with Jiang An. The dead girl was from an ordinary family. She had already settled the matter previously, but she didn’t expect it to be dug up again.

Jiang An’s action obviously challenged the interests of the people present. As a local family in Sea City, they had operated here for at least three generations and were all entangled.

For example, Wu Xue’s matter seemed to be just something that had happened to the Wu family, but many families had contributed when it was settled later on to repay the Wu family’s favors.

This was also for their future plans. No one knew what kind of personality their children had. If such a thing happened, someone had to clean up their mess.

Hence, they only helped each other and became more and more entangled.

Jiang An wanted Wu Xue to be punished by the law today, which would break the balance of Sea City.

Sophie could feel the change in their expressions. It seemed that An’an had been too aggressive.

Of course, Jiang An understood what she meant, but she was not afraid at all.

She was no longer the little girl who was bullied back then. These people could not touch her at all.

“If you don’t know what happened before, don’t make subjective assumptions here. There’s no difference between picking and choosing when to be a good person and just being a bad person.” Jiang An’s words were sharp. “Would you feel good if someone advised you to be magnanimous after you were injured?”

Chen Xiang did not look embarrassed at all and continued, “But no matter what happened, it shouldn’t have ended up like this. This is disrespectful to the host.”

After saying that, her gaze drifted to Huang Jing. Unfortunately, the other party immediately lowered his head.

He had already been reprimanded by Jiang An just now. He realized that he had done something stupid.

Jiang An’s identity was not something he could afford to offend. Moreover, they had a very domineering personality. It was useless even if they talked about the Zhao family. It was better for him to avoid them.

Chen Xiang did not expect Huang Jing to be so spineless. Fortunately, her words were not too explicit.

“This banquet has been disrespectful to us from the beginning. Isn’t it a little too late to start talking about respect now?” Jiang An mocked.

She simply found the nearest chair and sat down, looking at Chen Xiang with an unfriendly gaze..
