Blossoming Flowers - Chapter 260

While the He family was worried about what to do to make Han Qingshan understand that they had absolutely nothing to do with He Yuyan, the news outlets started publishing the story of the engagement party.

The story brought back the old online account of how He Yuyan had attacked Jiang Yingyue in the shopping mall before, and that she was not letting her go, even trying to destroy her engagement party, because she could not have Han Qingshan herself.

The news painted He Yuyan as an evil woman with mental problems, and that Jiang Yingyue was an angel, while Han Qingshan was the knight in shining armor that appeared to save the day.

The netizens were instantly on a crusade against He Yuyan, and even the He Corporation could feel that some people started to boycott their projects, their stock price was also dropping because of the hit their reputation had taken.

It was not before He Julong stepped up and held a conference where he ensured everyone that he was unaware of his sister’s actions, that he condemned what she had done, and that he had deleted her from the family register.

It might seem harsh to evict her from the family, but He Julong was very fair when he spoke. He said that he had already warned her previously that she had to let go of her hatred and live life for herself. Still, now he had unintendedly aided her in causing such havoc at the engagement ceremony of two people he admired.

He was the one who had given He Yuyan money to pay for her living expenses, and they had been saved for the sake of harming others. He felt guilty and blamed himself, and he even sent a public apology to the Han family.

One has to admit that He Julong was a brilliant businessman. He knew he could not thoroughly wash away the responsibility, so he manned up and took some of the blame, while also proving how he had taken the decision of evicting He Yuyan from the family.

Even Han Qingshan was amazed by how well He Julong managed to play the media, leading to becoming one of the victims too, and the stock price of his company rose, as people saw the He Corporation as being a responsible and honorable company.

Han Qingshan did not mind. Knowing that they had cut all ties with He Yuyan made him pleased enough. This way, it would be impossible for her to get money from them in the future.

The He family would also not spend money on bribing the prison to look after He Yuyan. She would have to live the harsh life as any other inmate.

Thinking like this, Han Qingshan was pleased with the He family, but he would still keep a close eye on them. He did not doubt that the men in the family would keep their word. However, He Yuyan’s mother was doting on her daughter. She might try something.

Because the case concerned Han Qingshan, it was quickly sent to court, where Jiang Yingyue and Han Qingshan both had to be summoned as witnesses.

Han Qingshan had sent the most senior lawyer from their company to deal with the case, and he twisted the words, making it sound as if He Yuyan and the thugs not only wished to ruin Jiang Yingyue but also wanted to kill her.

There was a big difference between attempted murder and just doing harm, but the judge eventually judged it as an attempted murder case.

He Yuyan was the mastermind behind the case, but because Jiang Yingyue was still alive, it was impossible to sentence her to lifelong imprisonment.

Instead, the judge was quite smart. “Miss He is not in her right mind. She has a warped understanding of the world, and we can assume that her wandering the streets is a danger to the common folk. Because of this, she is sentenced to carry out her time at a mental institute where she is to be locked up until she is cured.”

Han Qingshan was surprised by this verdict, but then a smile spread on his lips. This was, without a doubt, the best solution.

Being locked up at a mental institute, even if she were not insane when she arrived, she would be it when she saw how she was locked up and unable to do anything.

He Yuyan was staring blankly at the judge, but then she looked at Jiang Yingyue with hatred. “It’s all your fault! B*tch! I am going to rip you to pieces! I am going to eat your flesh and blood! I am going to kill you! You b*tch took away everything from me!”

She was panicked and angered, but her actions just made everyone who watched even more confident that He Yuyan had utterly lost all common sense. She was indeed a lunatic now.

Jiang Yingyue was not scared of He Yuyan, so she looked back into He Yuyan’s eyes, the sharpness of her gaze branding into He Yuyan, scaring her senseless.

Shaking her head, Jiang Yingyue looked at Han Qingshan, and the two of them returned to the condo. Although they felt slightly confused, they were also happy that this had been solved.

They had sacrificed their engagement ceremony to get rid of He Yuyan, it was without a doubt a considerable sacrifice, but it was worth it. He Yuyan would never appear in front of them again.

At the same time, Jiang Yingyue and Han Qingshan were both wearing rings on their fingers. Although the banquet had been a failure, the engagement was publicly acknowledged.. Jiang Yingyue and Han Qingshan were now engaged and an official couple.
