Jiang Zhi's expression was full of seriousness.
He said, "If I leave, they will definitely hurt you."
"..."
“When I turned around, I saw two knives at your neck, and my palms started sweating.”
"..."
“Seeing the blood on your neck, I can’t make any rash moves. I’m really worried that they might kill you to silence you if they get agitated.”
"..."
"At that time, for your safety, I had no choice but to obey them and avoid provoking them. Then, I would look for an opportunity to escape. I know you are good at fighting, but you can't fight a knife."
Qiao Chu was fairly satisfied with Jiang Zhi's answer.
She continued, "Why don't you keep pretending? You could have just waited for them to pay the ransom and release them."
“It would be dangerous to stay there for even a minute longer. Besides, I was worried they would bully you. If there hadn’t been two knives at your throat, I would have definitely gotten up and beaten them up. They wouldn’t have had the chance to act so arrogantly.”
Is your leg really healed?
"You can walk, but you can't do strenuous exercise, like playing soccer."
"You even said you wanted to beat them up? Aren't you worried about your legs?"
"I haven't considered it!"
Qiao Chu drank the milk tea that Jiang Qing bought.
Jiang Zhi then said, "We've made up, haven't we?"
Qiao Chu sipped her milk tea, glancing at Jiang Zhi, "This time, I'll let you off. But if you ever dare to lie to me again, I won't forgive you."
Jiang Zhi smiled and said, "I understand!"
How did the shareholders' meeting go?
"Jiang Yan wanted to remove me, but she failed! However, I kicked her out of the board of directors."
"That's exactly right, she brought it on herself!"
"Wait a minute, let's eat together."
Qiao Chu nodded.
...
At the opening bell, Dongyang Group's stock price plummeted.
After the news that "Jiang Zhi is not disabled" spread, Dongyang Group's stock price rebounded.
At midday closing, it was still down 0.8%.
Rong Zhan was a little annoyed that he had been watching the stock market all morning but hadn't seen Dongyang Group's stock price hit the daily limit down!
It's unbelievable that Jiang Zhi's disability was all an act!
Old fox!
Good tactic!
That's interesting!
Even so, Rong Zhan still didn't take Jiang Zhi seriously.
...
Li Wanyue was quite happy to learn that Jiang Zhi was not disabled!
Qiao Chu's happiness should be fine now.
This is what they call good deeds being rewarded!
"How about we invite Jiang Zhi and Qiao Chu back for dinner tonight? They escaped a disaster; we should celebrate for them."
Qiao Yijue looked displeased. "You can invite Qiao Chu back for dinner. The Qiao family doesn't welcome people with the surname Jiang."
"Dad, that won't do. It's definitely better if they all come back for dinner together."
"Why not? This is Qiao Garden, my territory, not the Jiang family's. It's all that brat's fault that Qiao Chu was in danger. This time it was just luck; who knows what will happen in the future! In short, getting involved with that brat from the Jiang family is never going to end well! Even if he weren't crippled, he's still not good enough for Qiao Chu."
"Then forget it, let's not eat, so you don't get a stomach full of heat."
“I called Qiao Chu. Such a big thing, and she didn’t even tell us. If we hadn’t seen the news, we wouldn’t have known! Thinking about the kidnapping still makes me feel scared. It’s all because of that brat Jiang that Qiao Chu was implicated.”
The old man simply didn't like Jiang Zhi and was extremely dissatisfied with this grandson-in-law, so Li Wanyue stopped talking.
They're already married, are you suggesting they get a divorce?
Jiang Zhi isn't entirely useless; even without a wheelchair, he's still quite handsome!
He and Qiao Chu are quite a good match!
The old man is just nitpicking!
******
When the market opened in the afternoon, Dongyang Group's stock price rose.
Half an hour later, it returned to the opening price from the morning.
The upward momentum is good, and the market should close higher.
That's all, Qiao Chu can go home now.
She brought a lot of tonics back to Qiaoyuan to visit her grandfather, so that the old man wouldn't worry about her.
She also needed to appease her grandfather; she couldn't let him keep targeting Jiang Zhi.
...
An hour later, Qiao Chu went to the market to buy groceries.
She personally cooked for Luo Luo and the others.
She and Jiang Zhi escaped a disaster, so they celebrated and thanked their friends for their concern.
...
Nangong Jin arrived, bringing her son with her.
The little guy clings to his godmother as soon as he sees Qiao Chu.
Nangong Jin joked, "Zhi, you don't need Marx anymore, why not let my son play with it?"
Jiang Zhi glared at Nangong Jin, "Aren't you awake yet?"
"You stingy person!"
"You came to my house for a free meal, and you still want more? Nangong Jin, do you know how unseemly you are to eat like that?"
"How could those kidnappers be so stupid? They should have kept you locked up for a few more days!"
"Nangong Jin, you're in charge of washing the dishes tonight."
"Oh dear... you're getting cocky!"
After thinking for a moment, Nangong Jin continued teasingly, "Are you two... together yet?"
I won't tell you!
"Are you together?"
"I won't tell!"
Jiang Zhi jumped up abruptly. "I'm going to check on the kitchen. Keep an eye on your son and don't let him touch anything in my house."
Suddenly, Nangong Jin shouted, "Baby, come here! There's a big red heart over there. Pull out those red roses."
Jiang Zhi warned fiercely: "Nan-Gong-Jin!"
Nangong Jin grinned mischievously, "Oh... I never knew you were so romantic. I thought you only knew how to get angry."
"That teddy bear is covered by a glass case. Be careful your son doesn't bump into the glass. I won't be responsible if anything happens!"
