Chapter 531 Grandpa is your backer

"Sister Jiang Ruan!" He Jia called out to her.

Jiang Ruan looked over.

He Jia's mind was in turmoil, and she tried to give herself one last chance: "I really didn't hurt your mother. What happened back then was just an accident. Didn't we already make that clear before?"

"Whether it was an accident or not, you know it yourself." Jiang Li didn't waste any more words with her.

He Jia was in a state of utter confusion.

She didn't know what to do.

She didn't want to go to jail or bear criminal responsibility.

However, if she didn't confess, given the Qin family head's past behavior, he might very well silence her.

Tang Bai saw her expression clearly.

After leaving the coffee shop, he told Jiang Ruan what he had read: "At the latest, she will contact you tonight and explain everything back then."

"Are you so sure?" Jiang Ruan was somewhat surprised.

“She was very scared,” Tang Bai said. “She was very helpless.”

Jiang Ruan thought back to what happened back then.

Why weren't you afraid when you hit her mother before?

Because of her superb acting skills and sincere reactions, she had no doubts about her at all.

But this very person is a liar.

The facts are pretty much as Tang Bai said.

Jiang Ruan received a call from He Jia right after finishing dinner.

She changed her attitude from before, and her words were filled with fear and worry: "Sister Jiang Ruan, can we meet again? I have seriously considered what you said before."

"Have you thought it through?" Jiang Ruan asked.

He Jia hummed in agreement.

Jiang Ruan glanced at the time and said to her, "Come to Qin's Group to find me at ten o'clock tomorrow."

He Jia: "But..."

People will know if you go there.

Will the Qin family head allow her to leave safely?

"Just say what you want to say," Jiang Ruan said in a rather indifferent tone.

"It's nothing." After considering it for a while, He Jia swallowed her words back. "See you tomorrow."

Jiang Ruan: "Okay."

The call ended.

Grandpa Qin asked with concern, "Are you still working so late?"

"It's not work," Jiang Ruan said gently, putting away her phone. "It's a personal matter."

"That's good." Old Master Qin was relieved and joked, "I was saying that if I still had work to do, I would call Qin back tomorrow and give him a lecture."

Jiang Ruan stayed and chatted with him for a while.

She didn't know whether she should tell her grandfather about her mother's situation. If she didn't tell him, he would find out about Qin Muchuan and the others' accident. But if she did tell him, she was worried that he wouldn't be able to handle the shock.

Grandpa Qin noticed that she seemed a little absent-minded and asked kindly, "Is something on your mind?"

Jiang Ruan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Say what you want to say," said Grandpa Qin. "You don't need to hold back in front of me."

Jiang Ruan pursed her lips, and after struggling with her thoughts, she only said one sentence: "If one day I stand on the opposite side from my uncle, will it put you in a difficult position?"

Qin Muchuan and Qin Luofeng spent a lot of time living with their maternal grandfather.

But Grandpa felt guilty towards her and Mom.

She didn't know if her grandfather would be in a difficult position if that matter came to light.

“What are you saying?” Old Master Qin said without hesitation. “What’s there to be embarrassed about? I know your personality, and I know your uncles’ temperaments too.”

"Do whatever you want, Grandpa will be your support."

Jiang Ruan was stunned for a moment.

She suddenly wished she could transfer her current grandfather to the past, so he could tell her mother back then: "Dad is your support."

If that's the case, wouldn't Mom be much happier?

"Thank you," Jiang Ruan said.

"There's no need for thanks among family members." Grandpa Qin has completely come to terms with things now. Even if he still has some old-fashioned ideas, most of them have changed during this period. "Don't be afraid of making things difficult, and don't dwell on it. Grandpa believes in you."

Jiang Ruan said "okay".

That evening.

She was having trouble sleeping.

Fortunately, she has always been good at comforting herself, and she figured things out in just over an hour.

We must seek justice for my mother.

As for her maternal grandfather, she would do her best to take good care of him. After sorting things out, she went to sleep.

The next morning.

She saw a text message as soon as she woke up.

It was sent by He Jia: "Sister Jiang Ruan, I can't come right now. I'll come find you when I'm done."

Jiang Ruan frowned slightly.

I dialed her number.

After a few rings, the other end answered: "Sister Jiang Ruan."

"Did the Qin family head and Qin Luofeng come looking for you?" Jiang Ruan asked directly without any preamble.

He Jia was taken aback.

She subconsciously glanced at the boss and the head of the Qin family sitting opposite her.

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.

"Is it dangerous?" Jiang Ruan asked.

Theoretically speaking, Qin Luofeng and Qin Muchuan wouldn't be foolish enough to eliminate He Jia at this point, since she was their primary focus. Losing her would be tantamount to creating trouble for themselves.

Theory is one thing, theory is another.

Qin Muchuan has a bad temper and is prone to acting impulsively.

He Jiaxin felt as if she had been struck, and a warm feeling she had never experienced before rippled through her heart: "No."

She didn't know why Sister Jiang Ruan still cared about her.

She clearly harmed her mother, yet she refuses to cooperate.

"Then think carefully about your choice." Jiang Ruan glanced at the date. "Your time will be reserved until the end of this month."

He hung up the phone after saying that.

He Jia was a little unsure of what to do for the first time.

After meeting yesterday, she wanted to tell Jiang Ruan what had happened. She even decided to meet with her today to negotiate terms, tell her everything, and promise to protect her family from being implicated.

But all those thoughts vanished completely after the boss came this morning.

"What did she say to you?" Qin Muchuan asked.

"She asked me if I had thought it through." He Jia didn't tell the truth. "When I said no, she hung up the phone."

Qin Muchuan frowned slightly: "Have you thought about what?"

He Jia told them what happened yesterday.

To avoid getting herself into trouble, she only said that Jiang Ruan asked her to tell the truth back then, and didn't say a word more.

"I told her I didn't know." He Jia didn't know why she was hiding it from her. "She told me to think about it myself and to come to her when I found out."

"Are you planning to tell her?" Qin Muchuan's voice suddenly turned deep.

The atmosphere around them instantly became serious.

He Jia's heart skipped a beat.

Although Qin Muchuan didn't achieve anything significant, he was still the head of the Qin family. Apart from lacking any presence in front of Jiang Ruan, Huo Zhizhou, and others, he still commanded respect from others.

"If she was planning to tell me, she wouldn't have told me about her phone call with Jiang Ruan," Qin Luofeng said, trying to smooth things over.

Qin Muchuan's heart sank slightly.

Qin Luofeng looked at He Jia and asked, "What are you thinking?"

He Jia was taken aback: "What?"

"Should we tell Jiang Ruan, or pretend we know nothing as before?" Qin Luofeng asked, his voice gentle and unhurried.

“I want to pretend I don’t know anything,” He Jia said. “But I’m not sure how much Sister Jiang Ruan knows. What if she really has evidence…”

“She couldn’t possibly have any evidence,” Qin Muchuan said.

He Jia was taken aback.

Qin Muchuan said directly: "The matter of you hitting Qin An was already settled back then. If she wants to bring up the matter from back then, she will have to provide new evidence. As long as you insist that it was an accident, there will be no problem."
