Chapter 459 Harsh Interrogation
When Qin Xingbao and his wife came to their daughter’s room, they saw Qin Yan’s pale face and frightened expression. Then, they saw Jiang Tao with a cold expression and a gloomy face. It was obvious that he was not here to comfort their daughter.
Qin Xingbao’s face immediately darkened, and his eyes shot at Jiang Tao unkindly. He asked harshly, “Jiang Tao, what are you doing? Are you bullying my daughter?” Jiang Tao pursed his lips tightly. His sharp gaze was fixed on Qin Yan.
Jiang Tao ignored Qin Xingbao’s questioning and said coldly once more, “Photos! Qin Yan, do you need me to remind you?”
“Jiang Tao!” Qin Xingbao was furious that Jiang Tao ignored him. He even continued to interrogate his daughter. His fury raged, “Don’t think you can trample over us because you are the young master of the Jiang Family!”
When Qin Yan saw her parents, the fear in her heart immediately turned into grievances. Her tears immediately fell.
When Qin Xingbao and his wife saw this, their hearts ached terribly.
Their daughter had already been subjected to the family law because of the rumors on the Internet. Now, her fiance came to interrogate her.
A ruthless look flashed across Madam Qin’s face as she asked with a stern expression, “Jiang Tao, you have gone too far! You said you wanted to have a private chat with my Yan ‘Er. Is this what you mean? Jiang Tao, do you still have the Qin Family in your eyes? You have no right to treat my daughter like this.”
At this moment, Qin Yan called out at the right time, “Mom”. Her tears fell like rain. Coupled with her pale face, she looked extremely pitiful.
Jiang Tao said to Qin Xingbao, “Uncle, Auntie, I’m sorry! I’m not bullying your daughter, but I have to clarify this, or else I won’t be able to answer Tianhao!”
Qin Xingbao and his wife were shocked when they heard that this had to do with Gong Tianhao. Why would he be involved? Why hadn’t their daughter mentioned anything?
“Jiang Tao, I don’t care about that. You can’t bully my daughter when you’re in the Qin Family.” Madam Qin was very protective and said sternly, “Jiang Tao, you’re injured, and my Yan ‘Er needs to rest. Please leave!”
Jiang Tao’s sharp gaze swept over the couple. Then, he saw Qin Yan continue to pretend to be wronged. A trace of impatience flashed across his eyes. After that, he said directly, “If Qin Yan doesn’t explain the matter clearly, then the engagement is off.”
When they heard that, the expression of the Qin couple immediately changed. They didn’t think this was so serious.
“The engagement is off?!” Qin Xingbao stared at Jiang Tao with his sharp eyes and said in a very stern tone, “Jiang Tao, what is the meaning of this? What do you think the marriage between the two families is? How can you bring up the annulment so easily?
“You’re insulting not only my daughter but also the entire Qin Family. I’ll go and demand an explanation from Old Master Jiang. Is this how he teaches his grandson?”
Madam Qin also said angrily, “Jiang Tao, this is really too much! Master, go and call Old Master Jiang.”
Jiang Tao frowned and said coldly, “Uncle, Auntie, I mean no offense to you or the Qin Family. But this thing is very important to me. I need to know the truth. Or else the engagement is off.”
Qin Xingbao was so angry that his lungs hurt. He pointed at Jiang Tao with a livid face and said loudly, “Good, good. Jiang Tao, you’re something else. Even now, you have a reason?!”
However, Qin Xingbao also knew his limits. He would never bring up the annulment himself. Otherwise, Jiang Tao might take advantage of him and push the annulment forward. Qin Xingbao’s expression was unsightly as he gnashed his teeth and said, “Jiang Tao, my Qin Family doesn’t need to have a political marriage with the Jiang Family. “My Yan ‘Er is the number one beauty in the capital. She has an innocent character and is overflowing with talent. In the entire capital, there are many people fighting to marry her. You should consider yourself lucky that Yan ‘Er is willing to marry you.”
Jiang Tao did not say anything.
The Qin couple thought that Jiang Tao had surrendered and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
In the entire capital, only two families were worthy of their Yan ‘Er, the Gong Family and the Jiang Family. There were indeed many people who wanted to marry Qin Yan, but they were only after the power of the Qin Family. Of course, between Gong Tianhao and Jiang Tao, the Qin Family favored Gong Tianhao.
This was because Gong Tianhao was powerful, and he had an ability that was worshiped by other young masters. However, Gong Tianhao was powerful enough to decide on his own marriage, unlike the other young masters who had to follow the orders of their families.
Qin Xingbao once went to check on the attitudes of Old Master Gong and Gong Tianhao. It was obvious that they had no intention of marrying Qin Yan.
As Qin Yan got older, there were only a few men left who were suitable in the capital. The Qin Family looked around and settled on Jiang Tao.
Hence, the Qin family hired people to probe Old Master Jiang. They didn’t expect things to go so smoothly and the marriage was secretly settled. Soon, the entire upper class heard about the political marriage between the two families. Everything was going smoothly. The marriage date had been chosen. Who would have thought that Jiang Tao would suddenly come back and break off the engagement at the slightest disagreement? Did Jiang Tao think marriage was child’s play?

Thankfully, it seemed like Jiang Tao had been taught a lesson and cleared his mind.
Sadly, the Qin Family relaxed too soon.
Jiang Tao said expressionlessly, “Uncle, Auntie, I’m sorry. If Qin Yan doesn’t explain things clearly and makes it impossible for me to explain to Tianhao, the engagement will be off!”
Qin Xingbao was so angry that he staggered, and Madam Qin was so angry that her face was livid.
As for Qin Yan, she was embarrassed, angry, and aggrieved as she kept biting her lower lip. ‘Who does this Jiang Tao think he is? Does he think I want to marry him?
‘Hmph. If he weren’t the heir of the Jiang Family, I wouldn’t marry him either. Who are you to force me to admit things?’
Qin Xingbao pointed at Jiang Tao and said with a livid face, “You… you… who do you think you
are?”
Madam Qin took a deep breath. She did not look at Jiang Tao anymore. Instead, she squatted down and asked Qin Yan, ‘Yan ‘Er, what exactly is Jiang Tao talking about? What is so serious that the engagement has to be annulled?”
Qin Xingbao also reacted immediately. He looked at Jiang Tao and questioned, “Jiang Tao, what exactly do you want Yan ‘Er to explain and why?”
Jiang Tao’s cold gaze glanced at Qin Yan, and then he said indifferently, “Qin Yan took a photo of me with a woman and went to look for my grandfather…”
Before Jiang Tao could finish his words, Madam Qin shouted angrily, “Bastard! Jiang Tao, you already have a fiancee, but you went out to hook up with another woman! How could you?” Madam Qin looked at Jiang Tao with a fiery gaze.
Jiang Tao ignored her and continued, “When my grandfather saw this photo, he was furious. He immediately sent people to investigate and kill this woman. In the end, he attracted Tianhao’s anger.”
The Qin couple was stunned. How did this have anything to do with Gong Tianhao?
It would be serious if it had attracted Gong Tianhao’s anger, but how come they didn’t hear anything?
Jiang Tao said, “In the end, Tianhao captured all the people my grandfather sent and gave my grandfather a warning.”

“Huh?” The two stared at each other. This was a serious issue indeed.
“Then, Old Master Gong called grandfather and scolded him. After that, my grandfather studied the photo and realized the problem,” Jiang Tao said coldly.
This time, the Qin couple immediately fell silent.
If a photo caused a quarrel between the two families, then this photo was definitely not simple.
“My grandfather thought the picture looked strange, so he had people analyze it. And the result…”
The Qin couple suddenly listened nervously. They had a premonition that this result was not what they wanted to hear.
“The real male lead in that photo is Gong Tianhao, and not me, Jiang Tao,” Jiang Tao questioned coldly. “Qin Yan, why did you go through so much trouble to change swap Gong Tianhao out for me in that picture?”
The Qin couple was surprised.
“Ah!”
They had no idea there was such a big conspiracy behind this…
