"Auntie, don't be too anxious," Jiang Can said with a smile. "For now, we just need to remain still."
Qin Minzhi looked anxious.
"The Yao family belongs to me... to be precise, two-thirds of it belongs to me! Before Yao Zheng married me, he was nothing! It was my dowry that filled the void in the Yao family!"
"But not only did he betray me, he also raised his illegitimate daughter right under my nose for twenty years! He made me out to be a fool!" Qin Minzhi became more and more agitated as she spoke, clenching her fists and pounding hard on the edge of the bed.
The mere thought of it made her feel disgusted and remorseful.
She raised the daughter of a mistress, but ignored the feelings of her own daughter all these years.
She doesn't deserve to be a mother at all!
"Auntie, please don't say that," Jiang Can quickly stopped her. "Don't worry, Yao Manning won't get Yao's Group. Yao's Group isn't just controlled by Yao Zheng alone; there are other shareholders too!"
"What you need to do now is eat well, sleep well, and take care of your health," Huo Zhixing said, looking at her. "Only when you are healthy will you have the strength to compete with them!"
Qin Minzhi looked up at the two of them, her eyes flickering slightly.
She didn't expect Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can to help her and Yao Wanyin without holding a grudge. Now everything is developing in a positive direction, and she believes that Yao Manning won't be so arrogant for long.
“Auntie,” Huo Zhixing said in a deep voice, “I’m here today for two reasons: first, to visit you, and second, to tell you all this so you can be mentally prepared. When we really need you, we hope you can do everything you can to help us!”
"Third Young Master, Miss Jiang..." Qin Minzhi's voice trembled slightly, "Don't say that, you are my benefactors!"
"Just give me a call whenever you need me, and I'll do my best to help!"
...
Everything has come to an end, and it's been very quiet these past few days.
Friday was Jiang Can's day off. She slept until 10 a.m., ate a quick breakfast, and then went out to sunbathe in the yard in her slippers.
The autumn sun was warm. She sat leisurely on the swing. Fatty Orange ran over and rubbed against her a couple of times, but as soon as it saw Huo Zhixing, it ran away.
Jiang Can turned to him and smiled lightly. When he walked over and sat down next to her, she leaned lazily on his shoulder.
"I heard Yao Wanyin is recovering well." Huo Zhixing put his arm around her. "It seems that Yin Ruohong's medical skills are not just empty words."
"Of course! He's the president of the Nanyang Medical Association! And he's skilled in treating all sorts of difficult and complicated diseases. The medicines that Mr. Yin develops every year have saved countless lives!"
Huo Zhixing secretly sized her up.
This girl seems to be getting closer and closer to Yin Ruohong. I don't know when it started, but whenever Yin Ruohong's name is mentioned, her face is full of admiration.
That sense of pride was as if that person were her own father.
Huo Zhixing frowned, feeling somewhat awkward.
"Oh, yes."
He gave a perfunctory smile, intending to change the subject, but Jiang Can continued, "Do you remember that time we went to Hong Kong together? On that night market street, we saw a lot of medicine produced by the Yin family, and the vendor even claimed that it could cure all diseases!"
"I remember..." Huo Zhixing said gently, ruffling her hair, "Back then you didn't know my identity."
Jiang Can was taken aback, looked up at him, and smiled sweetly.
She stretched and snuggled closer to him, as memories of the past flashed through her mind like a movie.
They've been together for almost two years now.
"Time flies so fast," she remarked.
"Mmm." Huo Zhixing lowered his head, his lips gently touching her hair. Her sweet fragrance filled the air, making him feel a little restless.
"I still remember the night I married you. It was windy and rainy, and the house was so dilapidated..." she murmured. "You had such a dark face, it scared me to death."
"Really?" He was taken aback.
Why did he have such a dark expression?
He couldn't bear to be angry with her! She must have misread it.
"Don't try to deny it!" Jiang Can glared at him. "Anyway, when we first got married, you were so cold and aloof. All you did was hit the sandbag every day. You were lazy, didn't know anything about farming, and couldn't even cook a meal. I had to wait on you to eat and dress you!"
"But you seem to be enjoying serving me!"
Huo Zhixing grinned mischievously and pinched her little nose.
"Can you tell me why you're so willing to serve me?" he asked in a low voice. "Is it because you're lustful?"
"You..." Jiang Can was both annoyed and amused.
"In short, someone once said they would support me for life!" he said confidently.
Jiang Can punched him, how could someone be so shameless!
However, if he cared about his reputation, he wouldn't be Huo Zhixing.
The man laughed and gently tickled her, making her laugh so hard she almost fell over. The two played on the swing, their laughter echoing in the courtyard filled with fallen sycamore leaves. Even the fat orange cat stopped eating its food, watching them with envy.
Jiang Can has fair skin, and her cheeks turn rosy when she smiles.
She was pinned beneath Huo Zhixing, her large eyes glistening like water, swirling with emotions that stirred his heart.
Huo Zhixing felt only heat.
He grabbed her large hand and wrapped it around her slender waist.
Jiang Can felt a strong masculine presence pressing towards her.
"No..." she pressed her small hand against his chest, "We're in the yard!"
Huo Zhixing's lips curled slightly, "I know it's in the yard... but I didn't say I was going to do anything!"
Jiang Can's face turned even redder.
He gently stroked her hair, his magnetic voice whispering in her ear, "I'll just give you a kiss... As for the rest, we can do it tonight!"
His lips drew closer and closer, and Jiang Can closed her eyes, a sweet smile playing on her lips.
However, just as Huo Zhixing was about to kiss her, he suddenly stopped and looked around warily...
