Chapter 484: Meeting XII

” Do you think that he hurried the procedure to transfer the land in your name just because he likes you? Jiang Ru, I never knew that you were so gullible. Oh, Poor you!” Grandfather Jiang ridiculed Jiang Ru for her naivety.

How can a smart and manipulative person like her get trapped in their plan so easily? It was a surprise for him.

Jiang Ru’s heart sank when Grandfather Jiang mentioned the deal of the land that she made with Han Zihao. What does it have to do with everything? She wondered.

Something was amiss. Why is he so confident about it?

She swallowed her pride and asked him skeptically, “What....what do you mean by that? He...He did that because he likes me. He is not a manipulative person like you who would play dirty games on me behind my back.”

“Also, Han Zihao had no relations with Jiang Yue. He doesn’t even know her. Stop making fake tales just because you’re scared of me.” She said with resolution.

She had met Han Zihao and unlike the other men, he didn’t try to get in her bed and genuinely helped her without asking for anything in return. How can that person do anything wrong to her?

.....

Grandfather Jiang snickered at her resolute words and decided to break her illusion, ” Well, it looks like you’re still living in your imaginary world. Before you go to jail, as your grandfather, let me break that illusion for you.”

“The land that you recently bought from Han Zihao using all of your and your father’s savings to build a hotel on that land, the development plan of the area has now come to a halt.” He said with a pleasant smirk on his face as he watched Jiang Ru’s expression change immediately.

“Ah! Or should I say it has been stopped forever?” He asked unsurely while teasing her.

Jiang Ru frowned at his suggestive words and asked impatiently, ” What do you mean it stopped? Before signing the transfer papers, I checked that the area was still in the development stage and that the construction work of the highway and the hospital was still in progress. How can it stop so suddenly?”

She was interested in buying that land because the development project of the area was in progress and by the time the construction of her hotel completes, there will be a hospital, a highway, and a shopping mall in the neighborhood which will increase the worth of the area.

She was getting that kind of worthy land at such a low price. How can she not grab that golden opportunity? That area has the potential for development, that’s why she bought that land at a cheaper price.

Otherwise, why would she build a hotel in a secluded area like that?

While buying the land, all of her hopes were on the government development plan and was glad that the hospital and the highway were already in the construction phase. How come it came to a halt suddenly?

Grandfather Jiang was content to see Jiang Ru getting impatient and panicking. His lips curled up in a mocking smirk and his eyes turned cold just at the thought of Jiang Ru reaping what she sowed.

“Well, it wasn’t sudden. I am sure you must have heard the rumors about the land you bought, that it is haunted. It’s not only the rumors but also the increasing number of road accidents in the area and the rising fear in the hearts of the people, the government has decided to halt the development project in the area and announced it as an abandoned land.”

“The decision came out just a few hours ago. Did you not check the news?” He asked and shrugged his shoulders as if it had nothing to do with him.

It is indeed nothing for him. However, Jiang Ru lost everything.

That land cost Jiang Ru. her whole life savings. She used all of her money and savings on that crap land, how can it be announced as abandoned?

“What...what nonsense. How can the government stop the development project just because of a stupid rumor? Why? WHY?” Jiang Ru lost her temper and growled at Grandfather Jiang.

“Ah! Leave me. Why are you holding onto me? Can’t you see that I am talking to him?” Jiang Ru yanked the hand of the police officer that was trying to hold onto her and control her.

“Tell me. You’re playing with me, right? There is no way that land can become a waste overnight. It’s not possible.” She shouted, startling everyone in the meeting room.

Gu De wanted to step in to protect Grandfather Jiang, but the old man raised his hand and stopped him from stepping in between the conversation.

This time, he wanted to break Jiang Ru’s pride himself.

“Han Zihao sold that land to me. He will never play a dirty game like that with me. Never.”

Jiang Ru looked at Grandfather Jiang with a hysterical gaze and shouted as she needed answers to her questions from him.

Grandfather Jiang looked at his agitated granddaughter and scoffed to see her getting impatient, ” Of course, it didn’t happen overnight. If you had checked properly and taken your time to finalize the deal, you would have found out how complicated things were behind the scenes.”

” The government has been planning to halt this project for quite a while and use that land to build a factory to recycle the city’s waste. If you have checked about it a bit more and wouldn’t have hurried the transfer process, you could have saved your life savings from getting wasted.” He commented.

” Jiang Ru, You were betting everything on Han Zihao and were hoping that he would help you out of this situation, right? How can he help you when he was the one who pushed you into this miserable situation? Tell me about it?” He asked, blasting a major bomb on her head.

“However, it was inevitable. You were just being you. Arrogant and impatient. That was the reason why I wanted Jiang Yue to take the lead of the company. Because while doing business, she is not a short-sighted fool like you, who only cares about temporary gains.” He said, which caused Jiang Ru’s face to turn red in mortification and humiliation.

This was the reason why she hated Jiang Yue. She has always been perfect, in every single field.

In school, the teachers praised her. At home, Grandfather Jiang used to pamper her and praise her for her smartness and intelligence. But what about her?

She was his eldest granddaughter but to him, she always comes second. Because Jiang Yue was the first.

That bitch stole everything from her. Even after she died, she robbed everything from her.

Grandfather Jiang saw the reddened eyes of Jiang Ru and said, “Jiang Ru, only being the eldest doesn’t mean anything. To achieve something, you need to prove your worth as well.”

“Which you did, by ruining everyone’s lives, including yours.” He sneered at her.

Jiang Ru didn’t say anything as she was still in shock. This cannot be happening with her.

If whatever he said was true, then...then who would save her now? She already used all of her savings on that wasteland, the last resort of hers also turned out to be her enemy who backstabbed her.

What will happen to her now? Is this the end of hers?

Grandfather Jiang pursed his lips to see Jiang Ru standing in front of him lifelessly and staring at the tiled floor in a daze.

He glanced at the lady police officer and gestured for her to drag Jiang Ru away from his sight. After what she did to Jiang Yue and ruined his happy family, he doesn’t want her to stay in this room for a minute longer.

Jiang Ru clenched her trembling hands and followed the police officer silently, without causing a ruckus, unlike her father, who was getting dragged like a drunkard from the room.

“Father, Please don’t do this. I am your only son. How can you do this to me? Please, Father!” Jiang Yahui begged and shouted while getting dragged out of the room.

Grandfather Jiang turned his back on Jiang Yahui’s wailing and ignored his son who was begging him to save his life.

It was heartbreaking to send his son to jail. But he cannot forgive what he did to his eldest son and daughter-in-law.

He could have forgiven him when he swindled with the company’s funds. However, he will never forgive him for killing his brother and sister-in-law and then coming to their funeral to mourn their loss.

Even animals aren’t this shameless and cruel. He was worse than any wild animal who could even kill his father to gain profits.
