Jiang Ru went downstairs and called Shu Yuqing. Shu Yuqing's cold voice came from the other end of the line: "Go wait at the entrance of the community."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ru slowly walked towards the gate of the residential area.

Shu Yuqing instructed the housekeeper to prepare the car, and Assistant Ge whispered from the side, "Everything is ready."

Half an hour later, she picked up Jiang Ru and took her to a private club. After entering the private room, Assistant Ge took out a detector from her bag and said to Jiang Ru, "Excuse me."

Jiang Ru didn't understand what Shu Yuqing was trying to do. Why did she have to be searched every time she met her?

Isn't she going too far?!

Assistant Ge examined Jiang Ru from head to toe with the instrument, then shook his head at the boss.

Shu Yuqing stared at Jiang Ru with a half-smile: "Why don't you hand your phone over to my assistant for safekeeping?"

Although the sentence is a question, the tone carries an unwavering firmness that leaves no room for refusal.

Jiang Ru stared at her in disbelief. Was she worried that she would record the conversation?

Despite her reluctance, she took out her phone and handed it to her assistant.

Assistant Ge bowed respectfully and left the private room.

Jiang Ru wanted to mock Shu Yuqing for being too cautious, but she didn't have the guts. Not only did she not dare to say it, she also dared not reveal any unusual expression on her face, which made her expression very strange. After a long while, she managed to squeeze out a dry smile.

"Mr. Shu, thank you for sending Xiao An the car. And thank you for taking care of his job as well."

Shu Yuqing was pleased with her tact; she enjoyed dealing with intelligent people, as communication was effortless.

Unlike Jiang Xin, who is so stupid it's unbearable to watch.

"As long as you're satisfied, I'm never stingy with rewards for people who do a good job for me."

Then, changing the subject, he said, "I will not be merciful to those who betray me."

Jiang Ru nervously swallowed and quickly stated her position: "I will definitely do my best to serve President Shu."

Shu Yuqing poured a cup of tea and handed it to her: "I believe in you because you are a smart person."

Jiang Ru took the teacup and cautiously looked at the person sitting opposite her, tentatively asking, "President Shu, may I ask you a question?"

"You want to ask me why I asked you to go to Yanling's house, right?"

Jiang Ru chuckled awkwardly, "Yes, my relationship with Yanling and his mother is not good. President Shu should be aware of this."

"But you are his biological mother, and based on that alone, you are the most suitable candidate. You must know what Yanling and Jiang Xin have done, right? You spent two days with Jiang Xin, what kind of person do you think she is?"

“She…” Jiang Ru dared not say it. Jiang Xin used to be Shu Yuqing’s adopted daughter. If she still liked this adopted daughter, wouldn’t what she said be a provocation?

"Speak freely, she has nothing to do with me anymore. You should know that I have a little daughter, and that child is the apple of my and Ye Boxian's eye."

We adopted Jiang Xin because we were old friends with her father. We raised her to adulthood and sent her abroad to study, which we felt was the least we could do for her biological parents.

Seeing Shu Yuqing's candor, Jiang Ru also spoke frankly: "Do you know what she did? She actually bought me discounted food from the supermarket, and I ended up in the hospital last night. She even proudly told me that she did it all for my own good!"

"If it weren't for you, Mr. Shu, I would have packed my bags and left today. I really don't want to share a room with someone like her who has mental issues."

"You've worked hard, I won't treat you badly. Stay by Yanling's side and don't let him have any more unrealistic dreams."

"Don't worry, I promise to keep a close eye on Yanling and make sure he doesn't bother you."

As Jiang Ru walked out of the club, she patted her chest with lingering fear. Fortunately, she hadn't listened to Yan Ling and gone against Shu Yuqing; otherwise, she would have faced retaliation from the Ye family.

Last night at the hospital, Yan Ling told Jiang Ru that as long as he could capture Jiang Xin, the idiot, the Ye family would be his for the taking. He asked her to cooperate with him and help him keep it a secret from the Ye family.

Jiang Ru still remembers her shock at the time. She was terrified by Yan Ling's audacity. She thought he was being too unrealistic. With just Jiang Xin as an adopted daughter, he dared to try to take over the Ye family. It was like an ant trying to shake a tree.

However, Yan Ling did not think so. He confidently told himself that the Ye family would not give up on Jiang Xin. As long as Jiang Xin returned to the Ye family, she would have the right to inherit the family's wealth, and then the Ye family's wealth would fall into his hands.

She didn't know where Yanling's confidence came from, but she knew that the Ye family had long since severed their adoption relationship with Jiang Xin, and Jiang Xin's desire to return to the Ye family was wishful thinking.

Despite Yan Ling's flowery words, Jiang Ru remained unmoved; his success depended on the Ye family caring about Jiang Xin.

The problem is that the Ye family doesn't care about this adopted daughter at all now, and she knows that Yanling's plan is doomed to fail.

Shu Yuqing sat by the window, letting the warm sunlight shine on her. She took a sip of tea and enjoyed a rare moment of relaxation.

From the day she was reborn, she had been plotting. She discovered that she, her husband, and their son had been bewitched in their previous life, unconditionally spoiling Jiang Xin and forgiving her time and time again.

She had considered kicking Jiang Xin out of the house, but she couldn't do that. There were too many uncertainties. If Jiang Xin used this incident to attack the Ye family later, things would definitely get out of control.

Every day after that, whenever she faced Jiang Xin, dark thoughts would arise in Shu Yuqing's heart. She thought countless times about making Jiang Xin disappear, but she was afraid that it would backfire.

She sensed something was wrong, and in order not to repeat the same mistake, she silently endured and waited for the right opportunity.

She never targeted Jiang Xin from the beginning. She knew that if Jiang Xin made even the slightest mistake, it would become evidence to attack her.

Jiang Xin and Yan Ling can stir up trouble even without any wind. If I'm not careful, they could drive me to the brink of despair.

To prevent Yanling from finding any loopholes, she paid for Jiang Xin to go abroad, so that he wouldn't use this as an excuse to say that the Ye family bullied an orphan girl, adopting her but not giving her a good future.

As she had expected, Yanling chose to use public opinion to pressure the Ye family. Fortunately, she was prepared and treated Jiang Xin with utmost sincerity, preventing Yanling from finding any fault. Otherwise, she and the Ye family might be the ones being cyberbullied today.

"Yanling, coveting what doesn't belong to you comes at a price. I am no longer the Shu Yuqing who was heartbroken over Jiang Xin in my past life."

"Jiang Xin, your mother has fulfilled your wish in this life. You must live a good life with Yanling."
