Jiang Wanning had already eaten when she arrived, so she wasn't hungry at all.
"Grandma, I'm not hungry. Let's chat for a while."
She opened one of the gifts; it was a scalp massager.
Grandma Zhao often complains of headaches. Using this to comb her hair can massage her scalp and relieve the pain.
"Grandma, try it out first and see if it works. Everything I bought for you is something you can use, it's not expensive."
Jiang Wanning had almost no pocket money when she lived in the Zhao family, and she had to beg Lin Lin for a long time to buy things.
As Jiang Wanning grew older, she took on part-time jobs. She would always be discerning when buying things, which led her to develop a habit of never buying anything flashy or impractical.
Grandma Zhao took it, and the feeling of the comb massaging her head was really nice.
But now she has no time to feel how scared her Jinjin is of being separated from her.
"Then thank you. You're such a filial child. These are some snacks someone gave me; please try them."
Grandma Zhao was so hospitable that Jiang Wanning had no choice but to eat a piece.
The dessert was a bit sweet and not very delicious.
"Is it not to your liking?"
"Hmm, it's a bit too sweet. I can't eat anything too sweet right now."
"Then drink something to calm down. This tea helps you sleep, so you won't have trouble sleeping after drinking it."
Jiang Wanning picked up the glass and took a small sip.
Grandma Zhao became a little anxious: "Drink some more. Look how hot it is, you're sweating, how will you replenish your fluids if you don't drink more?"
In the past, Jiang Wanning might have been moved.
With Jinjin not around, Old Mrs. Zhao was unusually anxious, prompting Jiang Wanning to look towards the second floor of the villa.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt like someone was watching her from there.
Jiang Wanning turned her head to look, but there was no one there, though the curtains swayed.
Jiang Wanning's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Grandma, I'm not thirsty. Grandma, I'm relieved to see you're doing well. Grandma, I want to go home."
"You child, you're going back without even coming in for a seat? You should at least have dinner with me."
Jiang Wanning initially had this plan, but now she has changed her mind.
She felt something was off.
Her world has been too surreal lately. After what happened with Tao Wenrui, she's become extremely paranoid.
A notification came in on her phone. When Grandma Zhao saw it, her eyes narrowed. She hardened her heart and stomped her foot: "Wan Ning, don't blame me."
Jiang Wanning felt her legs go weak and her vision blurred. She managed to say, "Grandma, you..." but someone came out and covered her mouth and nose with a towel. Jiang Wanning immediately fell into a deep sleep.
Grandma Zhao said with some disgust, "Take the person away from me, don't leave them here, I can't accept that."
Her hands were already dirty, but she didn't want to dirty her floor as well.
Zhao Xuenan said with some disdain, "Grandma, you've already done it, do you still want to wash your hands of it completely? Don't worry, she doesn't have the energy to cause you any trouble."
"Where's Jinjin? Bring Jinjin to me."
"Ha, we just locked him up and gagged him, he's still at home!"
Grandma Zhao was immediately reminded that Jinjin was locked in the backyard.
Grandma Zhao hurriedly rescued Jinjin. As soon as the golden retriever was out, it rubbed its head against her leg, licked her hand with its tongue, and whimpered, looking extremely aggrieved.
Grandma Zhao quickly squatted down to comfort the golden retriever, as if talking to herself, or perhaps seeking self-comfort: "Jinjin, do you think I did something wrong? I don't think I did anything wrong. Wan Ning is too beautiful, she can't be kept. For people without a background, beauty is a sin. Why didn't she go with Wen Rui, even if it was just as a lover?"
Even if she wasn't sent to President Huang's bed, she would be sent to President Li's, President Zhang's, or other presidents' beds. Even if she wasn't sent this time, Jiang Wanning would still not escape next time.
What Mrs. Zhao didn't expect was that something unexpected would happen after she stepped out of that door.
Jiang Wanning, who should have been unconscious, suddenly sprang up and kicked the bodyguard supporting her in the groin.
The man screamed in pain and rolled on the ground clutching his groin.
Zhao Xuenan was sitting in the car when she heard this and opened the car door in surprise.
Zhao Dehong broke out in a cold sweat the moment he met Jiang Wanning's cold and sharp gaze.
"You, how come you're alright?"
Jiang Wanning smiled faintly: "You'll have to ask your good wife and good son!"
Jiang Wanning took out a stun gun from her bag: "Before, I thought that at worst I would just cut ties with your Zhao family forever, but you insisted on provoking me. Is it because I gave in too much before that you had the illusion that I was easy to bully? I tolerated you again and again because I still craved that little bit of family affection and still had illusions about you. In the end, you shattered my illusions! You have shown me time and time again that the malice and viciousness of people can be limitless!"
As Jiang Wanning spoke, she moved closer to Zhao Dehong.
The stun gun in her hand looked small, but it was crackling with electricity.
At this moment, Jiang Wanning turned on the power switch, and the stun gun emitted a buzzing sound of electricity.
Zhao Dehong said with a smile, "Wan Ning, don't be impulsive. Dad was just joking with you. I wanted to take you home, but you kept refusing, so I asked Grandma to call you over. I didn't hurt you, and I never intended to hurt you."
"Really? Brother, let's find out who this guy surnamed Huang is!"
A bodyguard in a T-shirt suddenly got out of the car and, without saying a word, went to another car and kicked it hard.
Mr. Huang, trembling, tried to drive, but his bodyguard pulled out a sharp dagger. Before the car could even start, the dagger sliced the tire in half, and the car slammed down, tilting slightly.
