The group of men in black suits did not answer Qiao Chu.
They roughly pushed Qiao Chu into another car.
Qiao Chu's car, they drove away.
There were people watching from both sides. Qiao Chu sat in the middle, and the car doors and windows were locked.
Qiao Chu remained calm and did not make any rash moves. Perhaps she would meet the mastermind soon.
...
Twenty minutes later, Qiao Chu was taken to a manor.
There, she met Jiang Yan.
It really was that bitch!
Qiao Chu scoffed, "Auntie, you've gone to such lengths to invite me to dinner, you're really giving me too much face!"
Jiang Yan smiled deeply, "That's right, Young Mistress Jiang has a high opinion of herself and is very difficult to invite! Please have a seat!"
Qiao Chu sat down opposite Jiang Yan.
Qiao Chu glanced at the hot pot broth that was cooking.
It's red chili oil, spicy and numbing flavor, quite pungent!
The side dishes are quite elaborate, featuring pig brains, duck intestines, chicken intestines, chicken hearts, and so on.
Saying it's an invitation to dinner is obviously not a kind gesture; Jiang Yan is up to her old tricks again.
That despicable woman is truly awful!
The group of men who had arrested her were still there, surrounding Qiao Chu.
The situation is hard to predict.
...
Jiang Zhi had already booked a styling appointment for 12 o'clock, and the time was fast approaching, but Qiao Chu was still nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Zhi called Qiao Chu.
The phone rang, but no one answered.
Immediately afterward, Jiang Zhi called Nangong Jin.
Is that woman in the hospital?
Nangong Jin deliberately asked, "Which woman?"
Jiang Zhi's face was cold as he said sternly, "Qiao Chu!"
"Oh! She left the hospital a long time ago...you think..."
Before Nangong Jin could finish speaking, Jiang Zhi hung up the phone.
With his sharp, eagle-like eyes darting around, Jiang Zhi gave Qin Yun instructions a few seconds later.
"Go and find out where Jiang Yan and Rong Zhan are right now."
"yes!"
...
Jiang Yan looked at Qiao Chu with deep eyes and said softly, "You haven't arrived yet, but I have plenty of time. I've prepared the sauce for you. I hope you like it."
Qiao Chu merely glanced at the murky sauce in front of her and didn't touch it.
No matter how nicely she puts it, it can't hide Jiang Yan's ill intentions at all.
"Thank you, Auntie! You've thought of everything!"
"You're welcome! We're family, and besides, it's my treat to dinner."
"Auntie, it's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone. It'll be more lively if we invite Grandpa and Ah Zhi along. That's what a family meal should be like!"
"With men around, we can't have a deep conversation, it'll be awkward. Let's do it next time, with them in tonight."
The broth in the pot boiled, and the smell was really pungent!
Qiao Chu can handle spicy food, but even she couldn't stand this extremely pungent spiciness.
Qiao Chu also saw Jiang Yan stirring the bottom of the pot, which was almost entirely red chili peppers.
Eating like that is too much for my throat; it might even damage my vocal cords!
...
Jiang Yan put the side dishes into the pot and cooked them.
Qiao Chu suddenly said, "Auntie, I want to drink milk. Can I have a bottle of milk?"
Jiang Yan sneered, "It's not good to drink milk with hot pot; I'm worried you'll get diarrhea. I've already had some chilled wine prepared; let's drink."
Qiao Chu feigned shyness and lowered her head, "Sorry, I don't drink."
Instantly, Jiang Yan's face darkened, and she raised her voice sharply, saying, "Qiao Chu, I've already lowered myself to invite you to dinner, don't push your luck!"
Suddenly, Qiao Chu raised her head, exuding arrogance, and said, "Auntie, you've misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to drink, it's for my health. Ah Zhi said we're planning to have a child, so we need to quit drinking."
Planning to have a child?
Is it real or fake?
Would Jiang Zhi even touch this slut?
Has his heart changed?
Jiang Zhi is disabled, so he can't have children.
This jerk is just making excuses to refuse to drink!
