Chapter 359 A Messy Relationship
"It's Lian Jiaojiao, right? She's Lian Chuan's sister. Lian Chuan now enjoys the robots' deep trust, so wouldn't it be better to have her work as your inside and outside partner?"
Jiang Wan slowly analyzed the situation for them.
Chu Yuntian fell into deep thought and did not answer her immediately.
But Gu San became anxious: "In the end, you just don't want to go. As the president's niece, you should think about the big picture and the greater good. How can you be so selfish?"
hehe.
"I didn't realize that a grown man like you could ignore the facts and resort to moral blackmail. Just because I'm the president's niece doesn't mean I'm his niece."
"I'm sorry, but no one has ever told me I have a uncle who's the president. So you don't need to use this unfounded connection to morally blackmail me. I won't fall for that!"
Gu San's face was extremely ugly, and he still wanted to criticize her, but Chu Yuntian stopped him with a stern look: "Shut up and get out."
"Young Master!"
Chu Yuntian remained expressionless, and although he didn't give him any glances, his meaning was quite clear.
Gu San dared not linger any longer. He gave Jiang Wan a deep look, a threatening glare, and then left the room.
Jiang Wan watched his departing figure and raised an eyebrow at Chu Yuntian: "You, the president's son, young master, are really having a good time. Even a lowly follower can act so recklessly in front of you?"
Chu Yuntian smirked and said, "You don't need to be so brazenly provoking me. You were tricked by Lian Chuan once, aren't you worried about being tricked by us a second time?"
Jiang Wan was taken aback by his words, but in the end she shut up and stopped provoking him.
"I will give your suggestion a good review. So, what are your plans for the future?"
"I want to leave here and go back to Longxiang City." Chu Yuntian didn't say anything, but simply gave her an objective analysis.
"You can't leave unless they know where you are."
"But even if they know you're trapped in Dragon City, do they have the strength to break in and rescue you?"
Jiang Wan was speechless. With Cheng Zhen's current strength, they certainly couldn't match Long Cheng.
However, Cheng Zhen could rescue her by opening a portal in time and space.
But it's strange, even now, why hasn't he opened the door yet?
Couldn't he just open the door and know where he is? Or are they themselves facing some kind of danger that makes it impossible for them to be in two places at once?
Jiang Wan became increasingly agitated and restless, losing her initial patience with Chu Yuntian. She waved her hand at him and said, "Don't worry about me. It's late now, you can leave. I need to rest."
Chu Yuntian didn't say anything and left quickly, leaving only the words, "I live next door. You can call me if you need anything."
She said she needed to rest, but how could she possibly fall asleep in such an unfamiliar environment?
Just as she was tossing and turning, a slight sound suddenly came from beside her.
She immediately opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. It was pitch black all around, but she just felt that something was different over there!
So she reached out to touch it, and soon she touched a hand that felt familiar.
"Cheng Zhen?"
She called out softly.
"It's me. How are you now?"
"Take me away now!"
Cheng Zhen hesitated for a moment: "What's going on? Don't you have a time bomb on you?"
"No, that bomb was defused a long time ago." Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhen didn't hesitate any longer and pulled her through the time portal with a forceful movement.
"You've already come to see me before?"
"What exactly happened? Where were you just now?"
The two people spoke at the same time.
Jiang Wan recounted what had happened during the day, and then emphasized that Lian Jiaojiao was in Gu San's hands, and that Gu San was Chu Yuntian's subordinate.
"What kind of messy relationships are these? What do they have to do with you and me?"
What's this about Jiang Wan being the former president's niece?
He simply didn't believe it. Even if Jiang Wan really was the former president's niece, he had already said she was his niece, not his biological daughter!
There's no need to morally blackmail her, is there?
Cheng Zhen immediately said, "They can't get out anyway, so let's just stay here and behave ourselves."
"Don't oversimplify things. Since the robots want to rule the world, they won't tolerate us living in a remote corner. Think about Cheng Wenshan; he must know something, which is why he's so eager to overthrow the robots' tyranny."
Compared to Cheng Wenshan, Chu Yuntian's case is more about family feuds and a matter of dignity. However, Cheng Wenshan must know some stakes, which is why he is so eager to challenge Longcheng.
"Okay, next time I see him, I'll have a good talk with him."
"Let's go, it's getting late. You haven't been sleeping well these past two days, have you? Go and get some rest."
Jiang Wan then remembered the twins: "How have Xin Xin and Xiao Shu been these past few days? Have they been causing trouble?"
Speaking of twins, Cheng Zhen really didn't know whether to be proud or ashamed. The two children seemed to have grown up overnight after leaving their mother, or perhaps they were born that way. It was only when they were with their mother that they retained some of the innocence of three-year-old children.
After Jiang Wan left, they only cried and made a fuss for a bit at the beginning, and then they stopped crying and making a fuss. They ate their meals obediently every day, slept on time, and ate whatever Cheng Zhen gave them.
Then Jiang Xiaoxin secretly released all the Rose Assistants to search for Jiang Wan's whereabouts. She thought he didn't know what she was doing, so he pretended not to know as well.
Jiang Wan felt a pang of sadness just listening to it. She sniffed, forced back the tears welling up in her eyes, and then opened the door and got into the car.
It was already past midnight, and the twins were fast asleep. But as soon as she got into the car, the two children woke up at the same time, staring at her with bright, sparkling eyes in the darkness.
Even though there was no moonlight, no starlight, not a single glimmer of light outside, they could tell with absolute certainty: "Mom is back!"
"Mommy's back! Do Xin Xin and Xiao Shu miss Mommy?"
Jiang Wan choked up a little, and it was also a rare moment of tenderness. The two children had been strong all along, but at this moment, hearing their mother's caring and gentle voice, they instantly broke down.
Ignoring the darkness around them, they scrambled off the bed and rushed towards Jiang Wan, crying, "Mom, we missed you so much!"
Jiang Wan felt at ease and content only after holding the two children on either side of her.
"Okay, stop crying. Mommy's back. Let's wash our faces and go to sleep together, okay?"
"Okay!" As long as Mom is around, I'll do whatever she asks without hesitation.
Jiang Wan first comforted the two children, then went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out, she found that there was another person in the RV.
