Ming Yuqian felt that since Jiang Mingkai was so foolish, there might indeed be a hereditary factor involved.
Since Jia Shenli had his eyes on Ming Yutong's abilities, he should have known that Ming Yutong was not so easy to handle.
Trying to control Ming Yutong with just a diary seemed either like Jia Shenli underestimated her or was simply foolish.
"How could I trust you just because of your words?" Ming Yutong sneered.
"The diary is in my hands, whether you trust me or not," Jia Shenli said confidently.
"I'll bring a lawyer with me this afternoon," Ming Yutong said.
"That's fine," Jia Shenli said indifferently. "But remember, if you are late by 10 minutes this afternoon, I will disclose one piece of the diary's content."
Ming Yutong was thoroughly annoyed by his threats. "Got it. You'd better bring the diary this afternoon, or I won't sign the papers."
Without waiting for more threats from Jia Shenli, she said, "Don't push your luck. Keep this up, and I'll throw away the diary and let you publish its contents. I won't agree to any of your demands anymore."
On the other end of the line, Jia Shenli paused for a moment and then said with a laugh, "I just wanted to say, I'll bring the diary this afternoon. As long as you sign, I will return it immediately."
"Fine." Ming Yutong hung up the phone.
Jia Shenli looked at his son, lying in bed with his limbs immobile, and said, "Mingkai, don't worry. I will make Ming Yutong pay you back for all your suffering. Because of her, you've become like this, and I'll make her spend her life making up for it!"
"Marrying you, serving you, taking care of you for the rest of her life," Jia Shenli said, his face showing intense hatred.
Jiang Mingkai was his heir, and even if Jiang Mingkai lacked business acumen, Jia Shenli could always hire professional managers to run the company.
But now, Jiang Mingkai was incapacitated.
How could he not hate it!
Jiang Mingkai's expression also twisted with rage.
In the past, he had been coerced by Fu Yinxiu to reveal the truth.
But after discovering that his limbs were now useless, how could he not harbor hatred?
Unable to go out and seek pleasure, he was now confined to a wheelchair and needed crutches to stand.
He didn't like going out and didn't want to face the odd looks from others.
Every time he scrolled through social media, he saw his former friends still enjoying life without a care, indulging in pleasure and entertainment.
Aside from frequenting nightclubs, he used to swim, surf, dive, and ski.
But now, none of that would be a part of his life anymore.
The more Jiang Mingkai thought about it, the more he hated it.
And all of this was because of Ming Yutong.
He was now useless and couldn't even go out, watching Ming Yutong live her life without a care, still out there happy.
Did she look down on him?
He could see that Ming Yutong was very disdainful of him, and even Ming Yucheng thought he was like a toad trying to eat a swan, that being seen with Ming Yutong was tainting her.
That proud woman, this time, he would make her put aside her pride, obey him, and serve him like a slave!
Even if he was a cripple, he would still make her serve him obediently.
Unconsciously, Jiang Mingkai's thoughts drifted elsewhere.
If it weren't for that diary, he wouldn't have known that Ming Yutong had already had a child with Fu Yinxiu.
Probably, Fu Yinxiu had grown tired of her a long time ago.
No wonder Fu Yinxiu would stand up for her.
A person who has long been exhausted by someone else still poses with high pride in front of him.
What a thing!
He would make her, like a harlot, strip naked, get on top, and serve him well!
***
Ming Yutong was naturally unaware of Jiang Mingkai's sordid thoughts. She just said to Ming Yucheng, "Arrange for some people. I won't sign the papers. Even if the diary is returned, as long as he has a mouth and hands, he can still reveal its contents."
Ming Yuqian nodded and thought for a moment. "How about asking Mo Jingsheng for help?"
Ming Yutong thought of the calm yet slightly mischievous man and found him quite trustworthy. "Alright."
Ming Yutong left the matters to Ming Yuqian to handle.
She sat on the sofa, closed her eyes, and waited until Ming Yuqian finished the call. When she opened her eyes, she said, "I just remembered that last night I mentioned that no one knew about my diary, right?"
"Yes," Ming Yuqian said as he sat down opposite her.
"When Ming Silian just returned to the Ming family, I didn't know much about her character. I felt sorry for her because she had suffered a lot outside. I even took her to my house to play. At that time, due to my carelessness, I left the diary on the bedside, and Ming Silian saw it."
Ming Yutong rubbed her eyes and continued, "Although she didn't see the contents of the diary, she knew I was writing one."
"She must have colluded with Jiang Mingkai at the wine party before," Ming Yuqian said in a serious tone. "Because of that incident, her disguise was exposed, and even now, the elders refuse to see her. She must be resentful. Knowing that Jiang Shenli and his son are certainly very angry with you, she probably told them all she knew about your weaknesses."
"If it weren't for Ming Silian, I wouldn't be facing such big trouble now."
Ming Yuqian clenched his fist in anger and pounded the armrest of the chair.
"Once this is over, Ming Silian will not be spared!"
Ming Yutong patted his shoulder to comfort him. "Let's focus on solving this issue first, and then we can deal with Ming Silian."
This was all for her, causing Ming Yuqian to be so busy.
To be honest, Ming Yutong felt quite guilty.
She felt that she had dragged Ming Yuqian into this.
But Ming Yuqian would surely dislike hearing her say that, thinking she was being distant.
