Chapter 1587: Taking the Blame

Chapter 1587: Chapter 1587: Taking the Blame

The blame was shouldered solely by Jiang Wenhui, and naturally the shareholders were pleased, though their faces spoke of genuine shame.

Looking at Jiang Jingheng now, he exuded an air of controlling everything in his grasp, fully aware that Jiang Wenhui was no match for him.

Jiang Jingheng continued, "Through this incident, I believe you all recognize your limited insight. Therefore, it would be best for everyone to refrain from meddling with the group’s affairs in the future. Meeting adjourned!"

Without waiting for a reaction, he stood up and walked out.

Lian Jun collected the documents on the table and followed him out.

The shareholders rose abruptly, staring at his back with expressions of utter displeasure.

"What does he mean by that? Does he disregard us?" one shareholder said angrily.

"A mere punk, truly exasperating, does he even know his worth?"

"Let’s not speak out of spite. He’s now the company’s largest shareholder, leaving us no room to intervene. Let it be; with him at the helm, we’ll profit nonetheless, better than anyone else," someone remarked.

Upon this remark, everyone found reason in it.

Someone sighed, saying, "It seems we’ve truly aged, stupefied by a youngster, but you can’t deny the lad has guts."

President Zhou, unable to contain his anger, kicked a chair and stormed out.

When Jiang Jingheng returned to his office, Mu Yan was sitting on the sofa yawning, despite having slept the entire morning, she seemed unable to get enough rest.

Seeing him come in, Mu Yan said, "You’re back."

"Yes, let’s go home," Jiang Jingheng replied.

"Ah?" Mu Yan looked at him in surprise, "So early?"

She picked up her phone to check, it was just under four.

"Yes, the work is done, we can leave early," Jiang Jingheng said as he walked to the sofa and pinched her cheek.

"Mm." Mu Yan yawned again, eyes watering, and nodded, "Alright."

Jiang Jingheng returned to his desk, tidied up, and then left with her.

As Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng left, they happened to run into the shareholders who had attended today’s meeting.

The shareholders didn’t look pleased, but seeing her, many greeted her, "Niece-in-law, hope you’re well?"

"Very well, thank you for your concern."

"Jing Heng is young and promising, he has guts. You have good judgment," someone praised, "Of course, Jing Heng is also lucky to marry a good woman like you, niece-in-law."

Mu Yan remembered last time she attended the board meeting, this person was not so cordial. Back then he blatantly sided with Jiang Wenhui, trying to bring down Jiang Jingheng.

Offering compliments without a cause either denotes flattery or deceit, she became more wary.

But they only exchanged a few pleasantries before heading to the elevator.

Once in the car, Mu Yan asked, "What was up with those shareholders? All so flattering, did you threaten them at the shareholders’ meeting?"

"Those who understand the times are wise," Jiang Jingheng said indifferently, "Only a fool would try to fight a losing battle."

"Mm." Mu Yan nodded.

She remembered something and said, "By the way, did you know about Jiang Wenhui’s amnesia?"

Jiang Jingheng’s expression was calm, "Heard from Lian Jun."

Mu Yan looked at him and asked, "Did you know about her schemes all along?"

Jiang Jingheng responded, "Yes."

"Then why didn’t you warn me?" Mu Yan glared at him.

Jiang Jingheng remained silent.

Mu Yan stared at him for a moment, suddenly realizing that he never intended to reveal Mu Chen’s cause of death. If he had warned her, everything would have been exposed.

She suddenly said, "I am very glad I always trusted you."

Jiang Jingheng turned his head to look at her, gently rubbing her head, his gaze extremely tender.

Mu Yan smiled at him and suddenly asked, "Brother Song still doesn’t know about Jiang Wenhui’s deeds, should we tell him?"

Jiang Jingheng’s expression dulled slightly, his voice calm, "He’s currently causing a stir, wanting to marry her."
