Xiang Jin has been discharged from the hospital.
She finally got her phone back, and there were dozens of missed calls and hundreds of messages on it.
After browsing through them, I found that most of the calls and messages were from Bai Ningshuang. Sure enough, she was the only one in the world who loved her the most.
Some were from work groups, where videos and photos were posted. When Xiang Jin clicked on them, she was surprised to find that it was Gu Feiyang.
Did Gu Feiyang run to the warehouse?
Go find her?
The chat in the group revealed the truth:
Sister Ding: "This guy who's giving flowers and a luxury car, he's obviously pursuing a girl. Who's he interested in?"
Su Jiayu sent a smiling emoji: "Didn't he say he was looking for a pretty girl? Ha, when did he hook up with a rich second-generation? You're quite something."
Xie Fangfang: "Su Jiayu, don't talk nonsense. Xiang Jin isn't that kind of person."
Su Jiayu: "I don't care what kind of person she is, but the commotion she's causing is seriously disrupting our work! Mr. Yu, are you going to do anything about this?!"
Then Yu Xing sent a message to Xiang Jin: "Xiang Jin, where are you? Something happened at the warehouse. Is it convenient for you to come back?"
This news came five days ago.
Xiang Jin called Bai Ning Shuang back first.
"Ah Jin, you finally answered the phone! My dad's in trouble, our house has been seized, and my mom's sick. Ah Jin, what should I do? What should I do..."
Xiang Jin took a taxi and arrived at Bai Ningshuang's place.
Sun Yanqing was also there.
"What's going on? Why are there so many people gathered outside, and so many reporters?" If she hadn't known a side path, she wouldn't have been able to get up here.
"Ah Jin, you're finally here." Bai Ningshuang hugged Xiang Jin and started crying.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here. What happened?" She must have been anxious and upset lately; her eyes were swollen and her complexion was terrible.
"Isn't Shuangshuang's father a contractor? Because of illegal construction, two workers fell to their deaths from a height."
"The developer doesn't want to take responsibility and pushes all the blame onto Uncle Bai, saying that Uncle Bai violated regulations during construction. The media has also exaggerated the situation and distorted the truth. Now the public is turning their anger towards Uncle Bai, and his family members are coming to make a scene."
Where is Uncle Bai?
“He’s already been taken away by the police. I tried to use the Sun family’s connections to pull strings, but it didn’t work.” Sun Yanqing felt helpless.
"Public opinion is very unfavorable to the Bai family right now. The developer is rich and powerful. If no one investigates this matter, they might just make a decision and it will be too late to fix it even if they find the person in charge."
What is the developer's name?
"Sheng Heng".
Shengheng is just a developer under the Murong family. Although they only hold 20% of the shares, they still have a say in the business.
Xiang Jin gripped her phone tightly.
After hesitating for a moment, she dialed Murong Xiao's number.
I didn't answer.
Xiang Jin called Su Ming again.
"Madam, is there anything I can help you with?" Su Ming was as polite as ever.
"Um...Is Murong Xiao here?"
"Is your throat better, Madam? Congratulations! Young Master has gone to England and may not be back for a while... I haven't been able to contact him recently either. Is there anything you need, Madam?"
Xiang Jin thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing, thank you."
"Ah Jin, maybe we should just let it go. Maybe it really is my dad's problem." Bai Ningshuang held Xiang Jin's hand, not wanting her to lower herself and beg for help.
"I believe Uncle won't do it, and you should believe him too, okay?"
Bai Ningshuang nodded.
Xiang Jin took a taxi back to the Lakeside Villa and asked Butler Feng, who gave her the same information.
She went to Fengrong Group again, but unfortunately she couldn't even get in the door.
Xiang Jin had no choice but to bite the bullet and dial Murong Xiao's number again, but the call still went unanswered.
She didn't sleep all night, and the next morning she packed her things to go to the Bai family's house. At the bottom of the stairs, she heard Zhou Zhou and Aunt Yang chatting.
"Young Master, what's going on? Isn't Xiang Qi Madam's sister? What is he trying to do?" Zhou Zhou asked indignantly.
"I don't understand either. The madam is such a kind person, so why is the young master always so fierce?"
"If Madam sees this, I don't know how heartbroken she'll be... Oh, Madam, why did you come down?"
"What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing, nothing, just some entertainment news, we were just chatting for fun. Madam, would you like breakfast? I've already made it," Aunt Yang said.
Xiang Jin shook her head. She didn't have much of an appetite, but Aunt Yang's cooking was superb, so maybe Shuangshuang could eat some: "Pack two portions for me, I'll take them out."
"good."
Xiang Jin turned to Zhou Zhou: "What were you talking about just now?"
"Oh right, I haven't fed the canna lily yet. I'll go take care of that now, Mrs. Ha!"
Xiang Jin: "..."
Forget it, nothing is more important than Shuangshuang right now, so Xiangjin is too lazy to care.
Aunt Yang packed up the breakfast in no time, and Xiang Jin took it out.
Two more days passed, and the Bai family's situation continued to escalate, drawing widespread condemnation online.
Bai Ningshuang couldn't withstand the pressure and fell ill. Sun Yanqing simply took her and her mother to live with him and took care of them in the hospital.
In the afternoon, Xiang Jin received a call from Su Ming: "Madam, the young master has returned to the country."
Fengrong Group.
The CEO's office.
Su Ming pushed open the door and led Xiang Jin inside.
From a distance of more than ten meters, Xiang Jin saw Murong Xiao standing in front of the bookshelf answering a phone call. He seemed to have lost some weight in the month since she last saw him, and the contours of his face were more defined. His thin lips were slightly pursed, as if he was in a bad mood.
Hearing the noise, he turned around to look at her.
"Looking for me?" His gaze was fixed on her.
Xiang Jin walked up to him, suddenly feeling inexplicably nervous, and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"Is there anything wrong with your throat?" he asked, his voice unusually gentle.
Xiang Jin paused for a moment, then said, "It's all alright now, thank you."
Murong Xiao was slightly taken aback.
This is the first time I've heard her voice.
It's delicate and ethereal, like a feather gently brushing against your heart, tickling and soothing, making you want to keep listening.
"Try calling me 'husband'."
Xiang Jin didn't hear clearly: "Huh? What?"
"Nothing, what do you need me for?" Murong Xiao's gaze was even gentler than before.
Xiang Jin took a deep breath, clutching the hem of her clothes slightly: "Um, could you help with the Bai family's matter?"
Murong Xiao was taken aback, then sneered: "No."
For a full twenty-eight days, she never contacted him first. He waited for her news, only to find out that she came to him for someone else's sake.
He attended an important meeting a couple of days ago, where he wasn't even allowed to bring his phone. When he saw her number afterward, he rushed back to China, and then…
He overestimated himself.
The atmosphere, which had just eased, turned cold again.
Seemingly expecting this answer, Xiang Jin wasn't too surprised: "Shuangshuang is my best friend. If you're willing to help, I can offer other terms in exchange."
