Chapter 248: Returning Everything in Full, Taking Revenge and Settling the Score

Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang walked out from the corner of the restroom, unhurriedly.

The two sat back down in their seats, staring thoughtfully at the glass of champagne from just a moment ago, which had already been swapped.

"Baobao, what do you plan to do?" Cai Xiaotang couldn't wait any longer and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Baobao smiled, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt as if two gazes were looking in her direction.

Her eyes flickered for an instant, and she suddenly looked up toward the spot where Lu Qing'er was standing!

The next second, Lu Qing'er immediately shifted her gaze in a panic, looking extremely guilty.

"Xiao Tang..." Jiang Baobao gently patted Cai Xiaotang on the shoulder, signaling her to move closer.

Cai Xiaotang obediently leaned in, and the next second, she heard Jiang Baobao whisper in her ear: "In a moment, we'll go over together..."

A few minutes later, the two stood up from the sofa at the same time, holding their wine glasses, and walked toward Lu Qing'er.

Lu Guohui was just smiling and talking to President Wang beside him when he suddenly saw Jiang Baobao walking over and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Lu Qing'er and Xia Huiya were also somewhat surprised, not knowing what Jiang Baobao was coming to do, and instantly frowned.

Jiang Baobao, however, was unhurried; she didn't speak directly, but instead smiled at President Wang to the side and said, "Excuse me, I have some words I'd like to discuss with my aunt, could I trouble you to..."

Jiang Baobao didn't finish her sentence, deliberately pausing.

That President Wang was also a tactful person; seeing Cai Xiaotang standing right beside her, thinking of her status, and hearing Jiang Baobao call Xia Huiya 'aunt', he immediately nodded with a smile.

"Since you are family, then I won't disturb you; you go ahead and talk."

He walked away with his wine glass and went straight into another crowd of people.

"Baobao, what do you mean by this?" Seeing President Wang walk away, Xia Huiya immediately asked in an unkind tone.

Jiang Baobao didn't speak, but calmly lowered her eyes to glance at the wine glass at Lu Qing'er's side.

It was an identical glass of champagne to the one from before.

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for an instant, but she didn't speak; instead, she deliberately walked around the few of them and stood in a blind spot behind them.

"Let's talk over here, if you don't want those ugly family matters... to be known by others."

She dropped the words lightly, her tone calm and unhurried.

The three members of the Lu Family stiffened, and sure enough, they immediately walked toward Jiang Baobao, blocking the small table with the wine behind them.

A hint of a smile flashed in the depths of Jiang Baobao's eyes, and she exchanged a look with Cai Xiaotang, who was standing behind them, without changing her expression.

She then asked in a serious tone: "Last time, I saw Grandma and Uncle at the entrance of a therapy center. What does that therapy center do? Uncle's illness shouldn't require going there for treatment, right? Please give me an explanation."

Jiang Baobao looked at the three people before her with a sharp tone, her eyes filled with inquiry.

She had secretly investigated that therapy center afterward, but hadn't discovered anything unusual; the only anomaly was that the Lu Family held a large amount of shares in that therapy center.

The Lu Family made their fortune in the electronics industry; there was no reason for them to suddenly invest in a therapy center!

There must be some problem here!

Jiang Baobao's gaze swept across the faces of Lu Guohui and Xia Huiya, attempting to discern some clue.

But the two didn't have any major reaction.

Xia Huiya even let out a cold snort and replied unceremoniously: "Your grandmother is so old, and your uncle is ill; is it a mistake for us to kindly send them to a therapy center for regular check-ups? Baobao, one must have a conscience. We are so good to your grandmother and uncle, and for you to be like this now, aren't you being too ungrateful?"

Xia Huiya was mocking Jiang Baobao with a sarcastic, passive-aggressive tone.

Jiang Baobao's expression instantly stiffened, and a chill radiated from her whole body.

Ungrateful?

So Xia Huiya still knew how to write those words!

When the Lu Family encountered difficulties in business, it was her mom and dad who generously lent them money to help them through the crisis, but after they passed away, how did the Lu Family treat her?

Who exactly was the ungrateful one!

Memories from many years ago surfaced in Jiang Baobao's mind, and for a moment, her chest felt tight.

But her reason kept reminding her that now was not the time to talk about these things.

"Heh, who exactly is ungrateful, you know in your hearts."

Jiang Baobao couldn't be bothered to say more; seeing Cai Xiaotang blinking at her incessantly, she dropped that one sentence and turned to leave without the slightest hesitation.

Watching her back, Xia Huiya couldn't help but tug on Lu Guohui's sleeve and whispered: "Guohui, about that therapy center..."

"Shut up, we'll talk when we get home!" Lu Guohui whispered, interrupting Xia Huiya, and glared at her irritably.

Xia Huiya immediately and tactfully closed her mouth.

Lu Qing'er, however, remained silent throughout, her eyes fixed straight on Jiang Baobao's back.

Not until she saw her return to her previous spot and pick up that glass of champagne did the corners of her lips suddenly curl into a strange arc.

Jiang Baobao wouldn't be triumphant for much longer...

As long as she took a sip of that wine, she could let everyone at the venue witness how she would make a fool of herself and be completely disgraced...

By then, she would take pictures of her state and post them online, letting those so-called people in the e-sports circle have a good look!

Thinking this, Lu Qing'er let out a triumphant snort and picked up her own wine glass.

Not far away, Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang also lightly clinked their glasses.

"How was it? My hand speed is alright, right? I swapped the glasses without making a sound! They didn't notice at all!"

Cai Xiaotang was full of triumph as she claimed credit to Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao immediately smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, you are the best..."

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly asked with some worry: "But no one else saw it, right? After all, there are so many people in the venue..."

"Don't worry, except for that President Wang who brought them in, who do you think would actively pay attention to them? They wouldn't even bother to look. Besides, my skirt was so wide today, it blocked everything completely; not a single person saw! This is what we call... paying them back in their own coin!"

Cai Xiaotang raised her eyebrows at Jiang Baobao with full confidence; just as she finished speaking, she saw that the champagne in Lu Qing'er's hand was already half gone.

"Baobao! She drank it! We can wait to watch the show!"

Cai Xiaotang excitedly tugged at Jiang Baobao's arm, her eyes looking in the direction of Lu Qing'er.

Jiang Baobao also curled her lips, leaning back on the sofa while swirling her wine glass, waiting to enjoy the "good show" in a moment.

A few minutes later—

Lu Qing'er seemed unable to stand steadily and suddenly grabbed hold of the table.

The next second, she stumbled toward the direction of the restroom without the slightest hesitation!

Cai Xiaotang immediately stood up excitedly, pulling Jiang Baobao along with her.

"Let's go, let's go! Let's go take a look!"
