Jiang Qinglian understood the meaning behind Xuxu's words and it made her feel anxious . She gripped her hand tightly . "Even though that wretched son of mine has committed a serious and atrocious crime, you can't possibly expect me to sit and watch as he goes to jail . Besides, his wife is giving birth soon . "
She stretched another hand and held on to her shoulder . Her eyes sparkled with emotion . "I know that Third Yan will have a way to help him . "
Xuxu sighed once more . She was lost for words . "Second Brother was indeed too rash and muddleheaded . "
She could hazard a guess behind the reason for doing such a crime .
Su Yue and Su Yan's presence must have threatened him . Their appearance meant they were after the inheritance . He would rather destroy it all, rather than let it fall into an outsider's hands .
But how could he be so muddleheaded? Flourish & Prosper was such a huge conglomerate, and more so, it has its footing in different industries . How could a project bring about the downfall of Flourish & Prosper?
Or was it just his way of giving out a warning to First Uncle and Yan Rusheng?
If they really wanted to save him, how would they be helpless? They both had money and connections . Even First Aunt could do it herself, not to mention, Yan Rusheng .
But what Jiang Qinglian wanted was to change both Xuxu and Yan Rusheng's attitude towards the situation .
But would she be able to stir them?
Jiang Qinglian's expression hardened . With an icy tone, she said, "It's all your First Uncle's fault . My two sons have never made us or Grandmother worry at all . Grandmother was the decision maker and no one objected to her decisions . The two brothers didn't even voice out about Grandmother handing Flourish & Prosper to Third Yan . "
The more she spoke, the more furious she became . "If your First Uncle didn't involve himself in an affair, Runan would still be the President of the Jiang Corporation . Why would he meddle in Flourish & Prosper affairs?"
Her eyes glinted with hatred . "If he really goes to jail because of this, it's all because of Yan Weiye . He was the one who destroyed my son . "
All mothers would defend and protect their child at all costs . Even though Xuxu didn't experience what Jiang Qinglian was feeling, she could fully understand what she was going through . A mother's love for a child comes first, and to her, nothing else, not even a clear conscience matters .
Before everything, she had given in to First Uncle's demands so that he could stay by her side . By agreeing to Su Yan and Su Yue entering the Yan family, little would she realize that it would lead to the destruction of her own son .
First Aunt's emotions and feelings must be whirling in complexity .
Xuxu nodded, patiently consoling Jiang Qinglian . "Yes, First Aunt . I understand what you said . First Brother and Second Brother, especially you, are all wonderful people . "
She sounded very sincere, yet a frown graced her face . "First Uncle did something outrageous, but Second Brother's method of revenge was too extreme . "
And though she understood how he must have felt, she didn't agree with it . He was already a grown-up, how could he have done something without putting into mind the consequences that would follow?
"Yes, I know . " Jiang Qinglian nodded . Every being of her started to falter . "But things…"
She wasn't able to complete her sentence when Yan Rushen's voice cut through from the dining room . "First Aunt, let's eat first . "
There was a hint of impatience in his voice . Jiang Qinglian wasn't able to catch it, but Xuxu did .
She pulled Jiang Qinglian and led her inside . And again, she consoled, "Let's eat first . We haven't found Wang Bin yet . After we find him, the police would still need to conduct further investigations . "
Jiang Qinglian glanced at Xuxu and asked, "Still no news of Wang Bin?"
Xuxu glanced at Yan Rusheng without answering . He sat there with a piece of toast in his hand, spreading jam all over it .
