Chapter 496: A Trick to Hurt Herself

Hearing this, Jing Chen’s body froze for a moment before he finally stood up slowly. Perhaps because he had been kneeling for too long, his legs were a little weak. Su Wan quickly supported him before he could stabilize himself.

But in the next moment, Jing Chen turned around and pulled Su Wan into his arms. He buried his head in Su Wan’s neck and cried softly.

Su Wan was slightly stunned.

She had forgotten that Jing Chen was also the saddest when Grandpa passed away.

Jing Chen had been taught by Grandpa since he was young. He learned how to be a person and how to manage the company. Grandpa had taught Jing Chen all his skills and was full of love and hope for Jing Chen.

But now that Grandpa had suddenly passed away, Jing Chen felt very bad.

Su Wan hugged Jing Chen gently and felt his suppressed trembling.

The living was in more pain than the dead, because they had to bear the wishes of the dead.

“Jing Chen, Grandpa just went down to accompany Grandma. We have to live well according to Grandpa’s last wish,” Su Wan comforted.

No matter how painful it was, she could not be dejected.

“Okay,” Jing Chen said in a hoarse voice.

The two of them walked towards the exit.

Jiang Xin stood at the door with an umbrella.

When Jing Chen and Su Wan saw Jiang Xin, they frowned at the same time. Su Wan said, “Jiang Xin, I’ll investigate everything you’ve done one by one, but before that, please don’t come here, lest you block Grandpa’s path of reincarnation.”

In the past few days, although Su Wan had been sad, she had not completely stopped thinking about things. Jiang Xin did not hesitate to poison Jing Hai because of Jing Chen.

It was not that she had not sent people to pay attention to the Jing Family when she was overseas, but Jiang Xin did not dare to go overboard on the surface. For the past four years, she had only been waiting for an opportunity. Su Wan recalled what Qin Lan had said at the door of the ward three days ago. Perhaps when Jiang Xin was alone in Jing Hai’s room recently, she wanted Jing Hai to step forward and propose that Jing Chen marry Jiang Xin.

Because everyone knew that Jing Chen respected Grandpa very much and listened to him. As long as Grandpa said something, Jing Chen might consider it.

Jing Chen looked at Jiang Xin coldly. “I won’t let go of Grandpa’s matter either. Jiang Xin, if you really did it, I won’t let you off either. Even the Kang family might be implicated by you.”

Regardless of whether Jiang Xin did it alone or not, if news of Jiang Xin poisoning someone spread, her reputation would be tarnished. The Kang family had always had a good family background. How could they allow themselves to have such a vicious daughter-in-law?

Hearing this, Jiang Xin couldn’t help but tremble. She admitted that Jing Chen was right. Because of this, Kang Xu had a big fight with her three days ago. Although Kang Xu treated her well, she knew very well that Kang Xu loved the Kang family more.

But she did not regret it.

She didn’t love Kang Xu. It was the same four years ago and four years later.

She only liked Jing Chen. She liked the elegant young man who treated her like a gentleman when she was young. She liked his gentleness and meticulousness.

“Jing Chen… you don’t believe me either?” Jiang Xin looked up at Jing Chen with innocent eyes. “I’m also very sad about Grandpa Jing’s death, but I really didn’t do this. I gave him the cordyceps purely because I hope that Grandpa Jing can recover quickly!”

“My grandfather has passed away. I understand the pain of my family passing away, so I want Grandpa Jing to recover quickly. This way, there will be fewer separations. Was it wrong for me to do this?”

Jiang Xin questioned sadly, tears flowing down her face.

Su Wan looked at Jiang Xin coldly, not moved by her tears at all. In her opinion, this was just Jiang Xin’s ruse to gain Jing Chen’s sympathy so that they would let down their guard and give up on the investigation. What a good plan.

In fact, that was what Jiang Xin thought.

Even if she couldn’t make the Jing Family give up on the investigation, she had to delay it for a while so that she had enough time to destroy the evidence.

Jing Chen’s expression remained cold. Of course, he could not let Jiang Xin’s words affect his judgment.

After all, Jiang Xin was the number one suspect.

Before he knew the truth, he would not easily believe her.

Jing Chen had already verified this with Bai Lian.

“Jiang Xin, stop quibbling. We only trust the truth.” Jing Chen said coldly and left with Su Wan.
