Chapter 211 If you've got the guts, place your bets.
[I've let go of my resentment, so now in my eyes you're just unrelated strangers, strangers. I'm blocking you.]
After replying, Jiang Youli blocked the new number as well.
"Continue eating."
Zhang Susu and Jiang Yehan exchanged a glance, tacitly refraining from asking Qin Yulian why she had called.
Qin Yulian and her family don't deserve any extra concern.
……
A tense and oppressive atmosphere permeated a guest room on the second floor of the Qin family's house.
"Mom, I already told you not to bother Xiaoli. She still hates us. We'll figure out how to save Big Brother ourselves."
Qin Yulian, who had been blocked one after another, was at her wits' end. Her voice involuntarily rose a few decibels, "We'll figure it out ourselves? How are we supposed to? That's Qi Xiuyuan, a member of the Qi family! Even if he's not the heir of the Qi family, in our current situation, can we afford to offend him?"
Jiang Zhao frowned and said, "What is there that we can't offend! Qi Xiuyuan doesn't get along with Qi Huan and Xiao Li. If we teach Qi Xiuyuan a lesson, it will be like we're helping Xiao Li get revenge!"
Qin Yulian muttered irritably, "In the end, it's still your sister who's too heartless..."
"Enough!" Jiang Zhao shouted angrily, interrupting his mother's complaints. "We deserve this result, it has nothing to do with Xiao Li! Mom, I don't want to hear you say anything bad about Xiao Li anymore, we are the ones who have wronged her! Alright, I'm going to Qi Xiuyuan's house now! Dad's injury hasn't healed yet, you stay here and take care of him!"
With that, Jiang Zhao opened the door and hurried downstairs.
As he walked downstairs, he bumped into his cousin Qin Xingcai, who immediately reminded him, "Jiang Zhao, didn't you say you were moving out tomorrow? Where are you going to go tonight if you're not going to tidy up properly?"
Jiang Zhao glanced at Qin Xingcai's uncle behind him, but the uncle looked away guiltily.
The aunt, standing to the side, turned away with a cold expression and walked towards the dining room, saying, "Xingcai, it's time to eat. Don't mind him."
Qin Xingcai chuckled and turned to follow him.
After his wife and son entered the restaurant, the uncle finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he lowered his voice and said to Jiang Zhao, "Xiao Zhao, please don't blame me for being heartless. My wife and son will definitely be unhappy if I leave your whole family here."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhao involuntarily clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms. "Uncle, don't worry, we will definitely move out tomorrow! We will absolutely not cause you any more trouble!"
At this moment, the uncle's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he forced a smile, saying awkwardly, "That's good... In that case, why don't you come with me to have a meal first?"
Jiang Zhao could easily see through his uncle's insincere words. It was obvious that his uncle had no intention of letting the three of them sit at the table for dinner.
So he decisively shook his head and coldly replied, "No need, Uncle. You guys eat. I'll just go out and find something to eat."
Upon hearing this, the uncle hesitated for a moment before asking, "What about your parents...?"
Jiang Zhao felt a pang of sadness. After taking a deep breath, he replied stiffly, "They'll order takeout themselves."
At this moment, Jiang Zhao felt extremely ashamed and embarrassed by his predicament.
The last shred of dignity deep within him burned like a raging fire, driving him to want nothing more than to escape this place as quickly as possible.
So he hurriedly said, "Uncle, I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I'll head out now."
After saying that, he strode out of the Qin family gate without looking back, leaving his uncle standing there, watching his departing figure with a complicated expression on his face.
After getting in the car, Jiang Zhao ordered takeout on a food delivery app and called his mother, "Mom, you and Dad don't need to come downstairs for dinner. Uncle and the others aren't planning to invite you either. I've already ordered takeout for you."
"How could your uncle do this..."
Jiang Zhao was upset and didn't want to listen to her mother's complaints, so she hung up the phone directly.
He gazed at the night outside the car, sighed, started the vehicle, stepped on the gas, and sped away.
……
After finishing her meal and seeing off her maternal grandparents and uncles, Jiang Youli went to the herb garden to check on the condition of the immortal herb.
After finding nothing amiss, they added some more poison powder around the area and then returned to the house.
After taking a shower, Qi An'an sent her screenshots of her chat with Duan Jinghan.
Duan Jinghan: [Jiang Youli, I offended Long Yuan because of you, and now my dad won't let me deliver food outside. He's locked me up at home and won't let me go out. I miss you so much!]
Qi An'an: [What do you mean by "for me"? Don't be so self-righteous. I wasn't even there that day.]
Duan Jinghan said, "[I really did this for you. That guy called you 'Second Master Long' insulted you, and I couldn't stand it, so I took care of him for you.]"
Qi An'an: [So, does that mean it's your doing that Master Long got arrested?]
Duan Jinghan: [That's not it...]
Qi An'an: [That's settled then! You claimed to have avenged me, but in the end, you offended Long Yuan yourself and can't even leave the house. What good is it, other than self-pity and wanting me to feel indebted to you?]
Qi An'an: [To tell you the truth, it was Huanhuan's doing that got Master Long arrested. Could you do that? That's the difference between you and Huanhuan!]
There has been no reply from Duan Jinghan.
Qi An'an sent a message.
[Sister-in-law, Duan Jinghan must be ashamed after what I said!]
Jiang Youli replied to her:
You're absolutely right; it's good that he backs down.
Jiang Youli opened the large group chat "[Beijing Circle Storm]" again and checked the messages tagged her.
It was that good-for-nothing young master who had tagged her before who posted a news link about the Long family's strong investment in the established entertainment company, Dafeng Entertainment.
[Jiang Youli, I've heard the news! Young Master Long has directly invested in Dafeng Entertainment, a long-established entertainment company. It's obvious he's targeting your Jiang family's Starlight Entertainment!]
Several other familiar faces immediately chimed in:
Wow, this is going to be interesting!
[How about we make a bet: how long will it take for Starlight Entertainment, under Jiang Youli's management, to declare bankruptcy?]
[How long? Those targeted by Young Master Long will only last six months at most! Jiang Youli, coming from the countryside with no management experience, will only last two months at most!]
[I dare say, all the artist resources under Starlight Entertainment will be cut off!]
Jiang Youli finished reading her own gossip with great interest and then sent two messages in the group chat.
[I'm telling you guys, what's the use of just talking big? I'm the kind of person who takes bets seriously. Last time, I made a bet with my aunt Jiang Li, and she refused to honor her bet and kneel down to apologize to me. That's why I personally went to the Long family to make her fulfill her promise and kneel down to apologize to me. During that time, I slapped Master Long a few times, which offended the Long family.]
[So if you really want to see me make a fool of myself, then place a real bet. If you win, I'll kneel down and make your parents lick your shoes. If you lose, you'll take turns being my dogs, one of them on a leash each day, okay?]
