Chapter 460 Madam Qin’s Scheme
Jiang Tao gave Qin Yan a cold look, then looked at the Qin couple, “It was a picture of Tianhao and the girl, and not me. The girl was almost killed by my grandfather.
“I just want to ask. Qin Yan, what are your intentions?”
The Qin couple was extremely shocked by this news.
Qin Xingbao glared at his daughter with an awkward expression. “Erm, Tao ‘Er…” Just as Qin Xingbao was about to say something, Jiang Tao immediately interrupted him and asked sharply, “Qin Yan, what exactly are your intentions? Are you trying to sow discord between the Gong and Jiang families or between Gong Tianhao and me? Or do you have an even sinister ulterior motive?” Qin Yan’s face turned even paler. The guilt on her face disappeared in a flash, but her expression was one of shock and anger.
‘Why is Jiang Tao acting like this? Does he have to be so aggressive and tear open my wounds?
‘So I like Gong Tianhao, and I won’t allow any other woman to be by his side. What’s wrong with that?
“Jiang Tao, I hate you!’ Qin Yan held onto the bedsheet tightly with both her hands. The creases on the bedsheet made the veins on her hands stand out even more. She also showed her anger.
Her heart kept roaring with anger and hatred. She piled her hatred onto Xiao Lingyu, whom she did not know.
However, Qin Yan hid it well in front of everyone. She did not expose her heart’s darkness and viciousness.
However, Jiang Tao noticed the crazy jealousy on her face. A ruthless light flashed in his eyes.
‘This woman is really good at disguising herself.
“This woman is a venomous snake. I need to be cautious of her. She will definitely harm Lingyu
again.’
Qin Xingbao heard Jiang Tao’s question, and his eyebrows jumped. He was a little dissatisfied.
However, his daughter was in the wrong, and it was a big problem that Yan ‘Er had fooled Old Master Jiang. So even if Qin Xingbao wanted to criticize Jiang Tao, he was in no right to do so.
“Qin Yan, now that your parents are here, please explain yourself.” Jiang Tao pressured.
This made Qin Xingbao and his wife very unhappy.
A mother knows her daughter. Madam Qin quickly sorted out the truth from Jiang Tao’s words. Her daughter must have fallen in love with Gong Tianhao and found out Gong Tianhao had a lover already. So her daughter used Old Master Jiang to get rid of that woman.
‘Silly daughter! If you like Gong Tianhao, you should have told us earlier.
‘You’re now engaged to Jiang Tao, but you’re involved in Gong Tianhao’s love life. That is an insult to both Jiang Tao and the Jiang Family.
‘Which man would like their fiance to have eyes for another man? What if they were cheated on? That would disgrace his whole entire family.’
Madam Qin sighed softly and said to Jiang Tao, “Tao ‘Er, Yan ‘Er didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t worry. With your uncle and I around, she will definitely be loyal to you and treat you well. Let’s just forget about this matter, okay? Give uncle and Auntie some face.”
Madam Qin’s words were gentle and soft.
However, Jiang Tao said unyieldingly, “Auntie, I also want to forget about this matter. However, this matter has really enraged Tianhao.
“He asked me to give him an explanation. Uncle, you should know the kind of person Tianhao is. Once he starts to care about something, he will not stop until he gets what he wants.
“This time, Qin Yan used my grandfather to hurt the woman Tianhao likes. This has provoked Tianhao.”
“Gong Tianhao already has a woman he likes?!” Madam Qin just snapped back to attention. This was big news for the capital circle. Everyone knew that Gong Tianhao didn’t like to get close to women. Therefore, some people secretly guessed that Gong Tianhao was gay…
Many socialites in the capital’s upper circle had designs on Gong Tianhao, but all of them returned in defeat.
Qin Xingbao and his wife were shocked that Gong Tianhao had found a woman he liked.
After all, there was no woman in the capital or the world who was prettier than Yan ‘Er.
However, Gong Tianhao did not take a fancy to Yan ‘Er and fell in love with another woman.
Madam Qin smiled and said, “Oh, Young Master Gong already has a woman he likes. That is a good thing. I wonder which family’s daughter has won over the young master’s heart?”
Since she knew her daughter’s interest was really on Gong Tianhao, naturally, Madam Qin wanted to help her.
However, Qin Yan and Jiang Tao were engaged. The Qin family could not casually propose to break off the engagement. Otherwise, it would affect the Qin family’s reputation.
The annulment couldn’t come from Jiang Tao either. It would be an insult to the Qin Family.
However, there was another ending that Madam Qin would love to see. And that was a stolen bride.
Once Gong Tianhao fell in love with Qin Yan and snatched her away from Jiang Tao, this would not affect Qin Family’s reputation. In fact, it would raise her daughter and the Qin Family’s status.
‘So what if Gong Tianhao has a woman he likes. Once I eliminate her, Gong Tianhao will have to find another woman. And my daughter is his best option.’ Madam Qin plotted.
Jiang Tao’s sharp gaze swept over Madam Qin as if he wanted to see something from Madam Qin’s expression. However, Madam Qin hid it well and did not let him notice.
Of course, Jiang Tao was not a fool. He would not reveal Xiao Lingyu’s information.
Jiang Tao replied indifferently, “Auntie, I’m sorry. I don’t know what. In fact, why don’t we ask your daughter? Miss Qin, can you tell me where did you get the picture of Gong Tianhao? Otherwise, when Tianhao comes here, things are going to be a lot more serious.”
Once Jiang Tao said that the expressions of the Qin couple changed abruptly.
They understood what Jiang Tao meant. If Gong Tianhao made a move, the Qin family would most likely suffer a huge blow. The couple knew very well that Jiang Tao was not joking
Qin Xingbao looked at Qin Yan and questioned her sternly, “Yan ‘Er, where did you get that photo from? Hurry up and tell us!”
Qin Yan bit her lips and felt deeply remorseful.
If she had known that a photo would force her into such an embarrassing situation, she would have planned better so that picture would be flawless.
However, in this state, she couldn’t say that she didn’t know anything either.
If Gong Tianhao really came for her, her tragedy would come.
However, Qin Yan didn’t know that her life was already on a countdown when she targeted Xiao Lingyu.
Madam Qin gently patted Qin Yan’s shoulder and said softly, “Yan ‘Er, don’t be afraid. Tell us, where did you get that photo? Did someone threaten you to target Gong Tianhao with it?” When she said this, she gave Qin Yan a look. The plan was to get Qin Yan to find a scapegoat.
However, the hint was very clear.
Qin Yan got it, and Jiang Tao got it.
Jiang Tao didn’t say anything.
Qin Yan quickly reacted. Her eyes darted about, and then she cried out aggrievedly, “Mom, I didn’t do it on purpose. A person suddenly called me and said that he had a photo in his hand and wanted to give it to me.
“Then, he told me to do as he said, or he’d make sure I’d be injured.
“Dad, Mom, I was scared. I didn’t agree at first. But things kept happening to me when I was out. Fortunately, there were no serious consequences. He just gave me a warning. “I was scared, so I did what I was told. Dad, Mom, Brother Tao, I didn’t do it on purpose. I really didn’t do it on purpose. “I was threatened by someone.”
Jiang Tao asked coldly, “Then who threatened
you?”
The excuse was full of flaws. Did she really think Jiang Tao was a fool? Since Qin Yan had said these things, then she must have found a scapegoat in her mind.
She cried and shook her head. “I don’t know. But he told me that his surname is Leng!”
