Chapter 606: Chapter 596: The Consequences of Genuine Anger

Jiang Lingxi was truly angry.

Having gone through so much in a previous life, she thought that nothing and no one in this lifetime could really make her feel angry again.

But it turned out that only things she couldn’t think of were things others couldn’t do!

No one could remain calm under such an aura, not even barely maintain composure.

Shen Yunqing touched the Moyu Ring on his hand, his face also unprecedentedly grave.

That previous stab, for Zhang Lingxuan, was far too lenient!

As Cao Xinyan repeated her previous conversation with Jiang Xiyu word by word, her entire face turned red to the point of purpling.

Mainly out of shame, especially since the person she had been unrealistically fantasizing about was sitting across from her, looking at her coldly.

Also, there was the fear and guilt upon learning of Xu Ling’an’s plight.

No matter how much she wanted to shirk responsibility, she had to admit that she had inadvertently become a pawn in hurting others, and her hands were truly unclean.

And in facing Jiang Lingxi now, she had absolutely no thought of seeking her grandfather’s help.

Her grandfather might not even be able to withstand it!

Jiang Lingxi raised her eyes to look at her, "What do you intend to do?"

After nearly a minute of silence, Cao Xinyan, with a purplish-red face that seemed to swell and smoke, walked over to Xu Ling’an seated on the sofa, bent deeply, and said, "Miss Xu, I’m sorry. I-I am willing to exit the entertainment industry and never appear before any of you present here again. Also, I will cover your medical expenses for treating the injury, and compensation for psychological damages."

With Jiang Lingxi in the industry, she was completely intimidated now, otherwise, she would constantly recall today’s subjugation and total suppression.

She had no face to appear before these people anymore either.

"There is some sincerity." Jiang Lingxi pointed towards the door, "Out!"

Cao Xinyan immediately felt like she finally escaped alive, hurriedly twisted the door open and dashed out.

She nearly slumped down without support leaning against the wall, all her strength seemingly drained.

A hand caught hold of hers.

"Xinyan?"

"Grandpa, wah!"

"Why are you crying? Did they bully you? Grandpa will confront them!"

"No, no, I-I just got a little scared."

"Scared? Then shall Grandpa take you home? Or do you still wish to meet some seniors in the industry?"

"No, no need, Grandpa. I want to leave the entertainment circle. I want to attend that overseas art academy you mentioned!"

"We’ll talk about it when we get home."

"Grandpa, help me up, my legs are weak!"

Outside the lounge, the grandfather and granddaughter helped each other as they left.

Inside the lounge, Jiang Lingxi’s gaze once again passed over the trembling Zhang Lingxuan kneeling on the ground, landing on Jiang Xiyu.

Despite the warm indoor heating, Jiang Xiyu couldn’t help but shiver.

"I..."

"Just say what you saw at that time."

Jiang Xiyu instinctively glanced at the top of Zhang Lingxuan’s head.

When she met Jiang Lingxi’s eyes that seemed a bit softer, she said, "I-I was hiding behind the potted plants and saw Zhang Lingxuan pushing the crystal chandelier towards Miss Xu."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

"Very well. Young Master Yuan, the crystal chandelier weighs dozens of pounds, this counts as attempted murder, call the police."

"No!"

Before Young Master Yuan could say anything, Zhang Nachuan suddenly stood up.

Zhang Lingxuan immediately crawled over to him on her knees, like she was grabbing onto a last straw, hoping he would plead for her.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, I know I was wrong, I dare not do it again. I can’t go to prison, going to prison is the end of me!"

Jiang Lingxi looked at her crawling over, nearly pressing on Xu Ling’an’s foot, and frowned, kicking her mercilessly.

She had no remorse at all, only unwillingness!

Zhang Lingxuan was kicked, rolling several times before stopping. Having been spoiled, she was unwilling to work even if she was lazy at home; despite not being scratched, new bruises and visible abrasions appeared on her body after those rolls.

Young Master Yuan couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Lingxi secretly.

He felt that this kick was heavier than even his professionally trained bodyguards!

Zhang Nachuan held his chest and sat back down.

Voiced in a choked tone, "Then please trouble Young Master Yuan."

"Alright, I’ll handle it now."

It has to be done secretly; outside there are so many celebrities and all walks of life, not to mention the live broadcast room with hundreds of thousands of viewers watching, if it really blew up, it would hit the headlines.

The Yuan Family couldn’t afford to lose this face!

Just as Jiang Xiyu couldn’t help but want to breathe a sigh of relief, the devilish voice rang in her ear again.

"Jiang Xiyu."

She instinctively responded, "Yes!"

Jiang Lingxi tilted her head and lightly rubbed her temple, her tone casual, "I’ve tolerated you long enough."

In Jiang Xiyu’s ears, it sounded like a death warrant, her already pale face turned even whiter, recalling the promise made when Cao Xinyan was released, "I-I understand!"

"Double it, tenfold."

"...Alright."

"Stay, and serve as a witness later."

Jiang Xiyu, who had been prepared to escape: "..."

This was to squeeze the last bit of value out of her!

But could she voice any objections?

No, she suspected the bitterness in her mouth was because the bile in her gallbladder had scared its way up from being so frightened.

Gu Qiantong after a lap around the venue came back and noticed the empty adjacent seats.

"Where did everyone go?"

"They left a while ago, one after the other."

"Has anyone from the Yuan Family come over?"

"No."

"Strange!" Gu Qiantong tapped her fingers on the table. She had won the last two items of the auction and showcased the Gu Family name. As the host, the Yuan Family should have sent someone over to greet her.

Everything, one after another, so out of order!

"Miss, should we leave early?"

"Let’s wait a bit longer."

Equally puzzled were Jiang Kaiyuan and the viewers in the live stream room.

"Haven’t seen Sister Lingxi for a while, where did she go?"

[The live camera hasn’t shown Jiang Lingxi for a while. Did I accidentally miss her?]

[I haven’t seen her either, maybe she left early?]

[All the major fashion bloggers and marketing accounts are already reviewing and marketing the red carpet looks; Sister Lingxi’s was the best, why are there so few shots? Is the company or agent doing anything?]

Lu Zhengzheng and others in the staff lounge were similarly curious about what Xixi and Tong were up to at the moment.

Calls made to them were all hung up!

The police invited via the private elevator went straight into the lounge without alerting anyone attending the banquet outside.

The evidence collection on the balcony was justified under the pretext of electrical repairs, making the entire process intensely secretive.

Jiang Xiyu, after making the witness statement, was released, feeling cold sweat covering her body.

She actually hadn’t clearly seen the face of the person who pushed the crystal chandelier; the dim light and nerves, with the person trying to cover up, she hadn’t seen much more than Xu Ling’an.

But when Jiang Lingxi looked at her, she knew she had to say it that way.

She dared not imagine the consequences if she didn’t comply.

Before Mr. Han came over, Jiang Xiyu lifted her skirt, avoiding everyone’s eyes as she hurriedly left the banquet scene.

Wherever Jiang Lingxi was, she didn’t want to stay even a minute longer.

With Jiang Xiyu’s eyewitness account and the crystal chandelier fragments deliberately left on the balcony - with witnesses and evidence present, even if Zhang Lingxuan wanted to deny it, she couldn’t.

In the end, she could only struggle as she was handcuffed and quietly escorted away.

Jiang Lingxi watched her being taken away, "Lastly, trouble Young Master Yuan with one more thing."

"Please, tell me."

"Send a car to take Mr. Zhang and An’an home first."

"Sure, I’ll have the deputy head of my family’s security personally drive them, ensuring they arrive home safely."

Seeing them safely tucked into bed before reporting back, if they could!
