Xu Wan hesitated for a moment, but still obediently handed the phone to Jiang Tingzhou.

The two were very close, and they had long since shared all their phone passwords.

After unlocking, Jiang Tingzhou immediately saw the message sent by Xiao Yinlan.

He sounded helpless in his words, but he was actually threatening Xu Wan, and he had the initiative completely in his own hands.

Xu Wan looked up, her expression pleading: "I don't want the police to come looking for my mother..."

“Okay, give me three days, and I will do my best to resolve this matter,” Jiang Tingzhou said.

"There's no need to rush. If the police come looking for my mother, I'll explain everything to her. She'll understand. As long as I don't go to jail, anything is fine."

Xu Wan and Jiang Tingzhou have been together for so long, and no matter what happened before, the man's attitude has always been one of strategic planning and ease.

This is the only time.

Whether in the past or present, he always uses the word "try his best" or "make every effort" to avoid making absolute statements.

"sorry."

Xu Wan felt very guilty; this matter had put too much pressure on Jiang Tingzhou.

"Apologize for what?" Jiang Tingzhou pressed his thumb against the woman's furrowed brow. "This matter was started by me, and it should be resolved by me."

With the Jiang family's power, it wouldn't be difficult to make the An family submit, nor would it be difficult to bankrupt them.

But with such a large tree as Anjia, it's not something that can be felled overnight.

What he did could not guarantee that Anjia would give in a short period of time.

This is also a game of strategy.

To avoid arousing suspicion from the two mothers, the two did not stay in the room for too long.

The family didn't leave Lingya's house until 10 o'clock.

Jiang Tingzhou drove Xu Wan and Xu Pingrong downstairs, but still didn't get out of the car. "I still have some things to do at the company. You should get some rest. Don't wait for me."

Xu Wan glanced at Jiang Tingzhou and knew for sure that the man was trying to help her.

She remained silent for a long time before saying, "Don't force yourself..."

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

That's what Jiang Tingzhou said.

However, Xu Wan waited until 2 a.m., but Jiang Tingzhou still hadn't returned.

She sat alone in the living room, lost in thought, her mind wandering, but she didn't dare to call Jiang Tingzhou.

At this moment, the An family was like ants on a hot pan. Among their investments, the riskiest was probably the night trading futures, but they hadn't suffered any losses before.

But tonight, in just one night, they lost tens of millions!

After the night trading session closed, Jiang Tingzhou sat in his office chair and sent a message to An Zheng.

[President An, I'll participate in the game you invited me to. Let's see who laughs last.]

The battle is not over yet; it has only just begun.

-

Xu woke up on the sofa on Monday evening.

She glanced at the doorway; the men's slippers she had arranged last night were still there.

Jiang Tingzhou didn't come back all night?

Xu Wan hurriedly sat up from the sofa and saw Xu Pingrong coming out of the kitchen. She asked, "Didn't my son-in-law come back yesterday?"

"Well... he's had some urgent business at work recently, so he'll probably be working overtime. He already told me in advance."

Xu Wan couldn't tell her mother about Xiao Yinlan's threats, so she could only choose a white lie.

"I see..."

Xu Pingrong had just been released from prison and didn't know much. She went back to the kitchen and came out again, carrying a lunchbox, and said, "I saw a lunchbox in the kitchen. I had nothing to do this morning, so I made some lunch. Didn't you say you work in the same office building as your son-in-law? Why don't you take it and eat with him?"

Xu Pingrong was born in a small village near Beicheng, and later married into Yinyi Town.

She hopes not to hold her daughter back and wants to do what she can to help.

Mother and daughter are of one mind. Xu Wan knew what Xu Pingrong was thinking and nodded with a smile: "I am so happy to have lunch made by my mother."

"If you want, I promise you'll be able to have my cooking for lunch every day at work. Mom doesn't know much, but cooking is no problem."

Xu Pingrong's face was filled with happiness.

She had worked as a live-in nanny back then, and in order to earn more money, she bought and studied many recipes, and still remembers quite a few.

For her, this is the happiest life she has ever had.

After Xu Wan finished washing up and took her lunchbox out of the house, she dared to call Jiang Tingzhou.

But no one answered after I called three times.
