Jiang Ruiling didn't know what went wrong with her plan. It was a simple one, but effective at that that would have solved all her problems.
She had hired one of the waiters in the staff to add some medicine in Wen Yaoting's drink which would make him drunk and dizzy. But she knew he wouldn't show this state in front of the guests and excuse himself for the restroom. The waiter would be waiting for him, keeping a watch and once he reached there, he would drag him to Jiang Ruiling's room.
Since Wen Yaoting would be drunk and confused, he wouldn't protest much anyway and go along with the waiter. She would send Shen Yang away for some reason who was standing guard in front of her room so that he wouldn't stop the waiter from bringing him in. And once he entered her room and saw her, he would definitely try to take advantage of her in his drunken state.
Jiang Ruiling had carefully investigated Wen Yaoting and his life. He was an extremely frivolous person, and he didn't leave any chance to get intimate with a woman. If that woman was especially his to-be fiance and wife, that would make him all the more arrogant as if he had the right to do whatever he wanted with her.
He would force himself on her while Jiang Ruiling would feign resistance and beg him to leave. She would switch on her recording app on her phone to capture his shameless words. That would prove to everybody that he was simply a disgusting bastard who tried to assault his own to-be fiance.
Jiang Ruiling had even planted the waitress before who Wen Yaoting was flirting with when Shen Yang caught him in the act. She was supposed to be a witness who would come forward and reveal how he flirted with her. If he acted like this with some other woman on his own engagement ceremony night, then how would he be after marriage? That would further prove that he had no respect for Jiang Ruiling and would definitely become a cheater and have affairs after their marriage behind her back.
This would easily break off the engagement with Wen Yaoting bearing all the guilt.
But that wasn't all.
The other important part of her plan was to pave a way for Shen Yang and her. When he would return and see them together, he would be mad in rage by Wen Yaoting's actions and would rush in to save her while also immediately raising an alarm. Shen Yang would save her on time because she had calculated it. Even if the power off gave her a different reason at the last moment, she knew he would still be back on time because he couldn't leave her alone for long. He would quickly make some arrangements and get back to her.
When everybody would come to witness what happened, Jiang Ruiling would cry and pretend that Wen Yaoting forcibly touched her.
She didn't care if that would put false blame on Wen Yaoting. A man like him deserved all the worse things to happen to him.
This whole series of events will force Old Madam to take action.
Now a person such as the Old Madam would not be able to bear that the daughter of the esteemed Jiang family was compromised. She had an extremely old and traditional way of thinking. Once she would find that Jiang Ruiling is not pure anymore, she would try to get rid of her from her family to protect its reputation. It was sad, but that worked in Jiang Ruiling's favor. The Old Madam would force her to marry the next man she found.
And this time, she wouldn't care about the man's status.
To her, Jiang Ruiling had lost all her value with her dignity, and she wouldn't bother to set her up with another wealthy family's heir. She simply didn't deserve to live a comfortable life.
In fact, the more the man was of low status, the better for her. Even if it would be a bodyguard, the Old Madam wouldn't hesitate. That's where Shen Yang would come in.
Shen Yang was a dedicated bodyguard who accompanied her at all times. It would be easy to make way for him in Old Madam's mind. She would declare her decision of Jiang Ruiling marrying Shen Yang. Just to keep up with the appearances, she would act as if she was heartbroken and compromising by marrying him as she had no other choice.
After they would marry, Jiang Ruiling would reveal to him that she was never violated because she knew he would always blame himself for failing to protect her. She couldn't let him live his life in false guilt.
To the outside world, Jiang Ruiling would be impure and society makes it harsh for women who suffered, but she didn't care about her reputation. She only wanted to live with the man she loved who loved her back too.
Plus, she knew how Old Madam's mind worked. Jiang Ruiling was practical and realistic. There was no merit in revealing that she and Shen Yang loved each other. They would never have a future that way. There was no advantage in being a Romeo and Juliet.
Instead, she thought of carefully planning out everything. Jiang Ruiling had only one aim.
Marry Shen Yang without revealing the fact they love each other.
She would get what she want and Old Madam would be in her happy illusion that everything happened as per how she wanted when in fact it was Jiang Ruiling pulling all the strings.
That way Shen Yang wouldn't have to suffer like how Jiang Yubi was. According to her, that was the mistake that Jiang Weizhe made.
He was too straightforward in pursuing his love that didn't sit well with Old Madam. She didn't want Shen Yang's treatment to be the same as hers. Even if Old Madam would still dislike him for his status, his position would still be above Jiang Yubi because it went all according to Old Madam's wishes.
But now seeing this strange man before him drained all her efforts in vain.
