Chapter 7: Pressed to Death

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and the daily schedule was fully arranged. No matter how hard she and her brother tried to cover it up, the large amount of capital flow on the company's books still alarmed Jiang's father.

Father Jiang, who was able to build such a huge business from scratch, is not a fool. Even though he no longer cares much about the company's affairs, he is not dead. There are still people on the board of directors asking him about things. This is unavoidable.

After a little inquiry, Jiang's father found out that the brother and sister had been shopping sprees recently. Suspicious, he took them to the study to ask them what was going on.

Now that he had been discovered, Jiang Mi looked at his brother, thought for a moment, and then told him everything.

He even performed the "little magic trick" again in front of Jiang's father, which frightened Jiang's father so much that he spit out a mouthful of wolfberry tea. His performance was exactly the same as Jiang Xun's at that time.

Although it was unbelievable, it was impossible for the brother and sister to return the things they had bought in such a lavish manner. Besides, the matter was too big. If the end of the world really came, Jiang's father couldn't imagine the consequences if he didn't make full preparations.

Therefore, after a long silence, Father Jiang spoke with difficulty: "Don't tell your mother about this matter yet. I am here to deal with the pressure from the group. Just go ahead and do it."

With these words, Jiang Xun breathed a sigh of relief. God knew how much pressure he had been under recently.

The Jiang family's business has grown to where it is now, and it is no longer just their business. The people on the board of directors are tough guys, and they will never give up if their collective interests are damaged. Only with his father stepping forward to take responsibility can he make arrangements more freely.

Jiang Mi couldn't help but have tears in her eyes again.

This is equivalent to Dad handing over the foundation he has worked hard for most of his life to them.

In this life, no matter who hinders the safety of their Jiang family, she will fight him to death!

Putting aside her thoughts, Jiang Mi drove to the research institute. Today was the agreed day.

When she arrived at the place, the researcher who received her last time was already waiting. Even though he looked tired and had bruises under his eyes, he smiled brightly when he saw her, "Ms. Jiang is here."

Jiang Mi nodded and followed him to the warehouse. Everything she needed was neatly arranged there, without any missing anything.

Seeing this, she felt more at ease.

"Send these things to this address." Jiang Mi gave a place name, and the researcher hurriedly wrote it down and happily took her to pay the balance.

The research institute is very efficient. The goods were inspected in the morning and delivered in the afternoon. The researcher looked at her like a god of wealth and said, "Miss Jiang, if you need anything else, please contact us! We look forward to our next cooperation!"

Jiang Mi smiled and sent him away.

There will not be a next time. There are only five days left until the end of the world. Although most of the purchases have been completed and the rest will arrive in the next two days, she is still nervous and keeps thinking about whether there is anything wrong or missing.

After storing most of the things in the warehouse into the space and leaving some for coating materials, Jiang Mi called his brother.

The coating materials needed to be distributed to the air-raid shelters and the apartments in Moon Bay. Non-professionals could easily make mistakes, but fortunately my brother had already made arrangements, and someone came to deliver the materials as soon as he made a phone call.

When all these are dealt with, the moon is at its zenith again.

Jiang Mi dragged his tired body back home, only to see someone he didn't really want to see.

"Mimi, are you back?" Aunt Jiang Lichun greeted her warmly with a smile. She was only in her forties but looked like she was fifty. Her eyes were shrewd, and she was wearing all branded clothes and gold and silver jewelry, looking very noble.

Sitting next to her was Zhang Jinglan, who had long hair, a delicate face, and a gentle and weak appearance.

Jiang's mother sat opposite the two of them. Seeing her, she couldn't help but scold her, "Child, I don't know what you are doing every day. You go out early and come back late every day. You are busier than your brother."

Jiang Mi glanced at the two of them coldly, and when he saw Jiang's mother, his expression softened slightly. He changed into slippers and walked to Jiang's mother and sat down. He said politely to his aunt Jiang Lichun, "Aunt."

Then his eyes fell on Zhang Jinglan. Seeing her gentle, innocent and pure smile towards him, he couldn't help but feel sick. His expression became even colder, and he said indifferently, "Cousin."

She did not hide her attitude before and after. Zhang Jinglan looked a little embarrassed for a moment. She pursed her lips, looked pale, and lowered her eyelashes as if she had been wronged.

Jiang Mi was not accommodating at all. She leaned on the sofa with her arms crossed over her chest, and said with a bit of sarcasm on her face: "Is it not enough that you defended Xue Wenxuan on the phone, so you came to chase him home? If you don't know, you would think Xue Wenxuan is your relative. Why haven't you seen your cousin treat me like this before?"

Jiang's mother was originally wondering why the two people who used to have a good relationship were so cold when they met today. But when she heard these words, she couldn't help but think more about it, and she looked at Zhang Jinglan with a bit of scrutiny.

She had never liked her eldest sister-in-law's family. Her eldest sister-in-law had suffered a lot in her early years, but that was her own fault. She ignored the advice and eloped with someone. As a result, she got pregnant without even getting a marriage certificate. After the first two years of excitement, the man started beating and kicking her. Later, when he saw that she had a daughter, he ran away, leaving her alone with her newborn daughter crying.

When he finally got home after much difficulty, the Jiang family had become rich and moved away from his hometown to another city. It took him many years to find his way back to the Jiang family.

As soon as the mother and daughter entered the door, their attitude of "I am weak but I am right" was disliked. Over the years, they have taken advantage of the Jiang family by relying on their status as the eldest sister-in-law and have never gotten enough of it.

She had noticed before that Zhang Jinglan seemed to have a good relationship with her daughter's fiancé. Now that the two have broken off their engagement, she, a member of the Jiang family, has turned her elbow out to stand up for a man. This has to make people think a lot.

The more Jiang's mother thought about it, the more she felt that there was something wrong. Zhang Jinglan's face turned pale and she waved her hands in panic, "No, no, I just felt that Mimi and her brother-in-law had such a good relationship, why did they break up without any warning? I felt a little strange, so I asked Mimi a few more questions. There's really nothing else!"

Jiang Lichun knew the relationship between her daughter and Xue Wenxuan. Seeing her sister-in-law's slightly cold and indifferent look, she couldn't help but feel disappointed in her.

Why don't you just hide it when you're cheating? Why do you have to say that? Thinking

this in her heart, Jiang Lichun showed a surprised look, looked at Zhang Jinglan beside her, pinched her arm lightly, and scolded: "You dead girl, why didn't you tell me about this? They say that you help your relatives and not the law, but you help the law and not your relatives, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Mi sneered and said mercilessly: "What my aunt said is interesting. Whose justice is my cousin supporting? What justice? Is it because the man who was going to be her fiancé was fooling around with her?"
