In her past life, Jiang Ruzhen gave all her family wealth to her adopted daughter. However, the adopted daughter pushed her down the stairs, broke her leg, and starved her to death.
On her de...
Chapter 154 The dishes are all ready, all that's left is to flip the table.
Before dawn, around 5 a.m., Jiang Ruzhen heard a series of urgent knocks on the door.
The fourth brother had just returned from his morning run when he saw his eldest uncle, who looked travel-worn, standing at the door.
He quickly opened the door and let people in. Just as Jiang Zhengyu walked up to the living room on the second floor, Jiang Ruzhen came out wearing a coat.
"Big brother, you've arrived."
She gave a casual greeting, and Jiang Zhengyu awkwardly rubbed his hands, unsure whether to sit or stand, and forced a smile at Jiang Ruzhen.
"I'm here to take your sister-in-law home. Could you please ask her to come out?"
"Ha!" Seeing her elder brother's distant attitude, Jiang Ruzhen sneered, feeling very uncomfortable.
If it weren't for Bai Hua and Jiang Min, she and her older brother would never have ended up like this. But no matter how much trouble that mother and daughter caused, her older brother always forgave them unconditionally.
The older brother was willing to give up his younger sister for his wife and children.
But she couldn't just stand by and watch her older brother be kept in the dark by that mother and daughter, foolishly wearing a green hat and becoming someone else's ATM.
"My sister-in-law is successful now, she can't stand staying here. She's staying in a five-star hotel!"
"Huh?" Jiang Zhengyu's mouth dropped open in astonishment. "How could this be? My monthly salary is only a little over sixty. Where did she get the money to stay in such a nice hotel?"
"Then I don't know, it can't be that it's going out to be sold!"
Jiang Ruzhen realized that it was wrong of her to say such things; her older brother would definitely think she was stirring up trouble.
She turned and went back to her room to change her clothes. The moment her head popped out of her collar, a string in her mind snapped back to life.
yes!
Bai Hua doesn't work, and his older brother's monthly salary is limited. How does he support Bai Hua to keep a gigolo outside?
There must be something she doesn't know.
She quickly changed her clothes and set off with her second son and eldest brother.
The fourth brother insisted on following along since he had nothing better to do. Originally, Jiang Ruzhen didn't want the fourth brother to be involved in catching someone in the act of adultery, but she changed her mind.
The fourth brother, with his simple mind and strong physique, probably needs to experience the dark side of society even more than the second brother.
Otherwise, this guy would definitely think the world is a wonderful place and that everyone around him is a good person.
It would be good to broaden his horizons, so the whole family set off together, squeezed into a taxi, and headed straight for the Liancheng Hotel.
As soon as they got into the car, Qin Lanlan ran out of the building.
She suspected that Jiang Ruzhen wanted to get rid of her and go to Li Yu alone to discuss the contract. Could her dream of Hong Kong Island still be realized?
No, she has to go along. When it's time to pay, she has to show up and claim all the credit for herself.
Upon arriving at the lobby of the Liancheng Hotel, Jiang Ruzhen solemnly told her elder brother, "Later, I will call Bai Hua out first, and then take her to see your daughter."
"Brother, stay back and don't make a sound. I want you to see for yourself what those two, mother and daughter, have been doing behind your back."
"Xiao Min is here too?" Jiang Zhengyu stared at Jiang Ruzhen in surprise.
Jiang Ruzhen stared at him speechlessly, her eyes conveying the message: You don't even know where your daughter is?
He didn't come home for two days and two nights in a row, and his older brother didn't even bother to look for him?!
This isn't just spoiling his daughter, it's downright indulgence!
Jiang Zhengyu was also full of grievances. His daughter had grown up and had her own world, and no longer regarded him as her father.
In addition, he had hit her, so his daughter had a lot of resentment towards him and often stayed at her best friend's house.
Over time, Jiang Zhengyu got used to it and thought it was good for his daughter to make more friends.
She was trying to avoid constantly thinking about her aunt's boyfriend.
As for Bai Hua, he has recently been playing mahjong outside until very late before going home, sometimes even playing all night without going home.
I'm exhausted from work every day, and when I get home, it's pitch black and I can't even get a hot meal.
His wife was always arguing with him, which eventually made him unwilling to go back to that home, and he always went to his parents' house for a meal.
But he never thought about the reason. He always felt that if he took a step back, everything would be fine. As long as he was more tolerant and made concessions, his family would eventually return to the happy and sweet days they used to have.
He didn't know why his younger sister had called him here today and wanted him to hide and watch the show.
He suddenly felt tense, and a bad feeling crept into his heart.
Jiang Ruzhen asked the second and fourth brothers to keep an eye on their eldest brother, while she went to Bai Hua's room to look for him.
Bai Hua went to bed very late last night. Li Yu came over in a hurry in the middle of the night, saying that a friend had asked him to go out for a social event, and then left in a hurry.
She was woken up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall back asleep, perhaps because she was going through menopause.
I have a hard time falling asleep at night, and if I wake up in the middle of the night, I can't fall back asleep.
However, the thought that she could meet her true love at her age and that she could go to Hong Kong Island with her beloved man in half a month and live the luxurious life of a rich wife made her excited and even more unable to sleep.
Around 5 a.m., she was just getting sleepy and about to take a nap when Jiang Ruzhen woke her up.
"Which jinx has to come looking for me at this time?"
Bai Hua opened the door grumbling, clearly unhappy. When he saw it was Jiang Ruzhen, he became even more impatient and wanted to close the door.
"You don't want the medical expenses anymore?"
Jiang Ruzhen's casual remark immediately brought Bai Hua to his senses: "You're here to deliver medical expenses?"
"Yes, but I have a business deal to discuss with Li Yu. I'll treat you two to breakfast and take care of your business at the same time."
"Li Yu? Do you know where he is?"
"Of course I know. He's in room 250 on the second floor. He told me himself, so I went there to find him."
"Impossible, why would he contact you privately?"
Bai Hua couldn't believe it. A possibility was quietly growing in her heart, and her gaze towards Jiang Ruzhen instantly turned ruthless.
Jiang Ruzhen looked completely innocent. "What? You dare to give me attitude after I gave you money? If you're not happy, I'm leaving?"
Bai Hua quickly grabbed Jiang Ruzhen's arm and suppressed his anger.
"Who dares to give you attitude? You're a millionaire now, you're so arrogant you're practically flying high."
"Good to know, stop dawdling and get going."
Jiang Ruzhen led the way, and Bai Hua, wearing her silk slip dress, followed her upstairs, yawning.
She hadn't slept well last night, and her mind was a bit sluggish. She was completely unaware of how frivolous and dissolute her behavior appeared to others.
In her mind, she and Li Yu had already had an intimate relationship, so there was nothing to hide.
Jiang Ruzhen noticed her attire, smiled gently, and didn't offer any advice.
The two went up to the second floor. Jiang Zhengyu got anxious and tried to call out to Bai Hua, but the quick-witted second brother held him down.
Upon arriving at the door of 250, Jiang Ruzhen asked Bai Hua to stand aside while she stood alone at the door and knocked.
An impatient female voice came from inside, "Who is it? Are you trying to kill me, knocking on the door so early in the morning?"
"I'm asking Li Yu to give me money."
Jiang Ruzhen's voice instantly silenced the female voice inside, followed by a series of footsteps.
The door opened, and Li Yu, wearing a white bathrobe, stood in the doorway, smiling elegantly at Jiang Ruzhen.
"Miss Jiang, you've arrived. What money are you bringing me?"
"Didn't you tell Qin Lanlan to tell me to prepare the money and come find you?"
Jiang Ruzhen pushed aside Li Yu, who was blocking the door, and walked inside. "What kind of hospitality is this? Do you expect me to stand at the door and talk to you?"
"Hey, hey, Jiang Ruzhen, don't go in yet..."
Li Yu didn't want Jiang Ruzhen to see him with Jiang Min, as it would ruin his image in her mind. He was also planning to swindle Jiang Ruzhen out of money before taking her away.
Li Yu lifted his foot and chased after her, and Bai Hua also darted behind him, but neither of them was as fast as Jiang Ruzhen.
She ran into the room and saw Jiang Min naked, wrapped in a blanket, preparing to hide in the closet.
"Jiang Min, what are you doing here?" Jiang Ruzhen exclaimed in surprise.
