Chapter 1556: It's All Ji Yingjie's Doing

Wan'er's gaze turned sharp; Jian Yining had grievances he couldn't swallow, for if he did, he would be wronged to death.

"Who are you? Don't try to frame me! My wife is right here; you'd better speak clearly. If I find out you're playing dirty with me, we aren't finished..."

"Beep—"

The other party hung up the phone.

Jian Yining now had a mouth full of excuses but couldn't explain it clearly.

"Go ahead, what's going on?"

"Wife, I really don't know what's going on. I really don't know her..."

"But don't worry, it's easy to investigate. Just wait."

In front of his wife, he sent someone to investigate the owner of that phone number.

Soon, the owner of the phone was identified; it was just an ordinary employee at Jian Yining's company!

"Someone from your company—what else do you have to say for yourself?"

"Just because it's someone from my company doesn't prove there's an issue between us, right? Let's confront her face-to-face."

If you haven't done anything wrong, you don't fear a knock at the door in the night.

Jian Yining called the woman to his office, and the three of them confronted each other.

The woman was plain-looking, but she had worked at the company for many years; her work performance was unremarkable, the type who was so ordinary that she would be impossible to find in a crowd.

As soon as the woman arrived at the office, she confessed!

She admitted she was acting under someone's instructions and had been bribed to do so.

She wept bitterly, defending herself by saying she had been momentarily confused and that was why she did such a wicked thing, and she promised she would never dare to do it again...

She still wanted a next time?

Her thinking was a bit too naive.

Jian Yining asked who had instructed her to do it.

She couldn't name anyone, only saying that they contacted her online and asked if she wanted to make money... The other party transferred the money directly and provided a script; she thought the matter wasn't complicated, and in a moment of obsession, she agreed.

This woman had a husband and children.

She emphasized that she did it because of the immense pressure of life and because her salary wasn't enough to cover expenses, hoping the Chairman and his wife would understand her!

She also demanded that they not tell her family, so as not to affect her family's normal life.

How interesting.

She had almost turned someone else's home upside down, yet she demanded that her own family's normal life not be affected. Why? Are your family members human, but other people's family members can be toyed with at will?

She schemed against people behind their backs, and she still thought she was in the right?

Jian Yining pressed her for the mastermind behind it, but no matter how he asked, she couldn't say.

The woman wasn't lying; the only evidence she could produce was the chat logs and transfer records.

In the end, it was no surprise that she was fired, and it was only because Jian Yining and Wan'er were kind-hearted that they didn't pursue legal action against her.

When friends gathered and chatted, they all felt this president position was very unlucky; whoever held it would attract unwanted romantic attention, which was detrimental to the stability and unity of their families.

Jian Yining resigned only one week after taking office; since people in their group wouldn't be president, others would take the position.

But things were often just that bizarre; not a single successor could last more than half a month!

As soon as they took the position, they would run into trouble—not just bad romantic luck, but all sorts of strange and bizarre things. In the end, there was truly no one left to do it.

Ji Yingjie stepped forward and said, "I'm willing to be president, but I'm a foreigner. Can you all agree to that?"

"Agreed."

"That's fine."

"We agree."

If she had stepped forward to be president from the beginning, naturally no one would have agreed, but now the position had become a hot potato that no one wanted to touch, so as soon as she proposed it, everyone agreed one after another!

Ji Yingjie finally got her wish and became president. A week passed, and nothing happened.

Two weeks passed, and still, nothing happened.

Shi Youxuan went to find her aunt, and upon entering, she closed the door first.

"Tell me, were the troubles of those previous presidents caused by you?"

"What crazy talk is this? I don't understand. I'm not so idle that I have nothing to do, why would I cause them trouble?" Ji Yingjie played dumb.

"Enough, don't pretend in front of me. You can fool others, but you can't fool me. As long as I'm willing to investigate, everything you've done will be confirmed. Do you believe me?"

Ji Yingjie:...

She firmly believed it.

She said to her niece, "Don't be a busybody. Your husband has already retired to the second line; you two should go be a pair of immortal lovers and enjoy a beautiful life. Don't worry about our secular affairs."

"I knew it was you. You're too much, attacking everyone? To become president, you'd resort to such unscrupulous means?"

"Don't shout, what are you doing? It's not like it's some big deal. I didn't actually have anyone go seduce them; it was just a joke. Is it really that serious?"

"Is it that serious?"

"You even scared my son-in-law away, and you're asking if it's serious? You're really something. If Ranran breaks up with Qi Tian because of this, you'll be the culprit."

"That won't happen. The way you put it—I have a sense of propriety."

She had taken things so far, and she still claimed to have a sense of propriety.

Ji Yingjie put on a "dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water" attitude: "Anyway, you can't sell me out, or I'll be at odds with you forever, never-ending."

"Just this once, no next time."

"Okay, okay."

Ji Yingjie agreed readily: "Rest assured, I guarantee there won't be a next time. I've already become the president, how could there possibly be a next time?"

Shi Youxuan:...

"I'll treat you to lunch, a big meal. What do you want to eat?" With her weakness held in her niece's hands, Ji Yingjie prepared to bribe her.

"Let's have French food."

At the best French restaurant in Jiangzhou, Shi Youxuan opened a bottle of the most expensive red wine.

"You don't even drink, why order wine?" Ji Yingjie, who had no habit of drinking at noon, asked in confusion.

"Mind your own business. If I don't drink it, I'll just smell it."

Ji Yingjie:...

She realized that her niece was using this method to "take revenge" on her.

If spending a bit more money was called revenge, then that was too much like Pediatrics.

Ji Yingjie's greatest ability was her talent for attracting wealth; she was not short on money!

"Fine, go ahead and smell it. If one bottle isn't enough, just open a few more."

"No need, one bottle is enough."

Shi Youxuan ordered foie gras, Mediterranean Caviar, baked White Truffle and French snails, Australian lobster, and sirloin steak, then shouted to everyone in the restaurant: "This lady is treating today, everyone please eat as you like, don't be polite."

Everyone broke into applause and stood up one after another to express their thanks!

Ji Yingjie didn't change her expression or skip a beat; it didn't matter, it was just her niece venting her anger, so be it.

She could afford this amount of money; if the Ji Family had nothing else, they certainly had money.

After the meal, Shi Youxuan packed up a few more portions and had a Servant send them home.

If she was going to fleece her aunt, she would do it big; this meal would probably cost several hundred thousand.

Ji Yingjie paid the bill with a smile and asked her niece: "How about it, is your anger gone now?"

"Almost."

"I can buy this restaurant and give it to you."

Shi Youxuan said: "I don't want your restaurant. Let's go, let's go buy clothes."

The two went to the mall and picked only the most expensive clothes to buy; they didn't choose what was right, they only chose what was expensive. Whether it fit or not didn't matter; what mattered was that the price had to be high!
