CHAPTER 289: CHAPTER 289: HOW MUCH MONEY

Looking at the two people both wanting to hug him, Little Reunion felt a bit troubled for a moment. Speaking of which, he was more familiar with Mr. Mu, as they had played together once before.

But Old Sir Jiang also seemed very kind and amiable. How should he choose?

Luckily, Little Reunion didn’t have to dwell on it for too long because a knock came from outside. Hearing the noise, Father Jiang got up to open the door, while Mr. Mu and Old Sir Jiang temporarily stopped their childish attempts to grab the child.

Father Jiang opened the door and saw a somewhat stern face appear before his eyes. Just as Father Jiang was about to ask who this person was and what business he had, the person had already spoken, saying, "You must be Jiang Xue’s father, right?"

Earlier, the records indicated that Jiang Xue’s parents had undergone surgery, and the sickly-looking man in front of her made Ming Lan instantly guess his identity.

"I am, and who might you be?"

"I am Jiang Mingzhu’s mother!" Ming Lan glanced coldly at Father Jiang and arrogantly proclaimed. Just a poor bumpkin from the countryside, how dare he call the police to arrest her daughter? He must be tired of living.

Speaking of this, Ming Lan couldn’t help but blame the lawyer Jiang Mingzhu had hired. When Jiang Mingzhu got into trouble, the first person notified wasn’t Jiang Feng and her, but instead, it was Old Sir Jiang.

If they had informed her at that time, perhaps Jiang Mingzhu might already be out by now and wouldn’t still be suffering in prison.

"Is there something you need?" Father Jiang, upon hearing the other side reveal their identity, immediately understood why they had come but still pretended not to know and asked.

Looking at Father Jiang, who was playing dumb, Ming Lan’s face turned unpleasant, and she said, "Mr. Jiang, I’m here this time to ask you to drop the charges."

Ming Lan cut straight to the point. For a bumpkin like Father Jiang, she didn’t want to waste her time engaging with him.

Before this, she had already been to the police station to visit Jiang Mingzhu. She had also used her status to put pressure on the police to release Jiang Mingzhu.

However, the police didn’t buy it and told her to find the victim’s family, saying that only if the victim’s family dropped the charges can they release the person.

So, she had to make this personal trip in order to get the Jiang Family to withdraw the charges.

"I’m sorry, I won’t drop the charges." Hearing this, Father Jiang’s expression changed, and he resolutely refused.

As a father, he wouldn’t undermine Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng. Not to mention, the harmed individuals were he and his wife. If they so easily let the other party off, the other party might not even be grateful.

It’s better to let the police handle it while he sticks to his principles.

Upon hearing Father Jiang’s words, Ming Lan’s face turned sour, assuming he was doing it on purpose, thinking he wanted to gain some advantage from this. So she looked at Father Jiang with a mocking face and disdainfully said, "Tell me, how much money do you want to drop the charges."

"Mrs. Jiang, you’re mistaken, I don’t want money, and I won’t drop the charges." Father Jiang, slightly angry, coldly met Ming Lan’s eyes. Do you think you’re so impressive just because you have some money?

He was poor, but he also had integrity. How could he sell his dignity for a little money?

"You?" Ming Lan became furious, glaring at Father Jiang, and said, "Mr. Jiang, I advise you to be sensible. If you continue to be so uncooperative, with my Jiang Family’s power, not only you but even your daughter won’t have a good time in the future."

"If that’s the case, then why is Mrs. Jiang still talking?" Father Jiang was also someone who wouldn’t bend under pressure. Had Ming Lan spoken a bit more softly, he might have relented.

Unfortunately, Ming Lan kept up the threats, which only triggered Father Jiang’s stubbornness.
