Chapter 7 Give Me Back My Money
The Ye Family Mansion was built during the Republic of China period. At that time, the entire building and the furniture inside the house were decorated in French style. Over the years, it has not changed much.
The duplex design has an open space on the second floor, and a semi-circular staircase leads directly to the second floor. The curved handrail of French mahogany extends all the way, connecting the small hall on the second floor and half of the railing at the door of Jiang Cheng's room.
Jiang Cha stood on the second floor and could clearly see what the first floor looked like.
There were four people in total from the other side. Huo Jingye grabbed a glass table lamp and smashed it on one of them on the head with a bang. There was a loud crisp sound, accompanied by the man's muffled groan, like a thunderclap out of nowhere, waking up the sleeping Ye Surong.
"What's going on outside?"
Ye Surong hurriedly opened the door, and Jiang Cha leaned against her door, stopping her from leaving.
"Mom, hide in your room and lock the door."
"What about you?" Ye Surong's heart was in her throat.
"I'm helping Uncle Huo catch the criminal. Don't worry, I'll call you when we catch him."
Jiang Cha forcefully closed Ye Surong's door, "Mom, remember to lock it."
"Chacha, Chacha, be careful!"
In one minute, Huo Jingye knocked down two people.
The remaining two people held iron rods in their hands, and with a bang, a set of green-glazed cups on the coffee table shattered.
Huo Jingye supported himself on the single sofa and jumped to the front door, then turned on the crystal chandelier in the living room.
Why haven't Big Brother and Dad come yet? He's so worried!
Huo Jingye was just about to reach out to open the door to let Huo Tingkun and his men in, when a man behind him raised an iron rod and pointed it at the back of his head.
"careful!"
Jiang Cha exclaimed, attracting the attention of the other two men.
It was said that it was too late, but in that moment, Jiang Cha picked up a bronze wine jar from the antique shelf and smashed it accurately on the forehead of the man who was waving the iron rod.
Hit the target with one strike, a precise headshot.
It was the first time Jiang Cha did something like this, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
"You damned girl, how dare you launch a sneak attack? I'm going to beat you to death today!"
Huo Jingye finally opened the door. The fourth man rushed up the stairs, picked up a thick hard-cover Russian original book and smashed it down. The corner of the book hit the man's forehead, and blood spurted out immediately.
Huo Tingkun brought in a group of soldiers with guns and arrested all four invaders present.
Jiang Cha's legs were so weak with fear that she didn't let up. Her aim didn't decline. She clutched the shoulder bag that was slung across her body. She had also prepared sleeping pills and silver needles in it, just in case.
Fortunately it was not used.
Huo Jingye had collapsed on the sofa.
"Old Huo, if you come any later, you'll have to wait to eat my meal!"
Huo Tingkun slapped Huo Jingye on the back of the head. "What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot?"
"That's right!" Huo Jingye touched the back of his head, which was in pain. "Two minutes, a full two minutes. Do you know how I got through these two minutes?"
"Come on, Chacha, a little girl, didn't say anything? Aren't you ashamed of yourself for yelling like that, as a grown man?"
Huo Tingkun went upstairs and said, "It's an emergency. Are you scared?"
"I'm fine, I'll be fine after a while. Please, Uncle Huo, go see my mom!"
Jiang Cha stood up holding the railing, her calves still trembling. Her legs went limp again, and her arm was suddenly supported by a big hand.
"Can't get up?"
Huo Jingchuan's cold voice exploded above Jiang Cha's head. Jiang Cha looked up and met his elegant eyes.
"I...I'm fine!"
The strange touch gave Jiang Cha goosebumps all over his body.
Jiang Cha pushed him away violently, her lower back hitting the railing behind her. Jiang Cha barely supported herself and said, "Thank you."
Huo Jingchuan curled his lips and said, "You don't look like you're really thanking me like this!"
Jiang Cha pursed her lips tightly, "No..."
She was just traumatized by the old pervert in her previous life, and was particularly nervous when touched by strangers!
Huo Jingchuan was still patiently waiting for her answer, but her tense breath suddenly relaxed, and she felt like she was going to throw in the towel.
"Never mind, whatever you think!"
Huo Jingchuan: “…”
In the living room of the Ye family, Jiang Cha and Ye Surong supported each other and looked at the man kneeling on the ground in disbelief.
"Cen Jianjun? Why is it you?"
He is the deputy director of the pharmaceutical factory and has always had a good relationship with the Ye family. During festivals, the two families would have dinner together, and the elders of the two families would even try to match the younger generations up and have their children become in-laws.
Ye Surong could never have imagined that he would actually betray the Ye family.
She rushed forward and grabbed Cen Jianjun's collar, "My dad is so good to you, how could you do such a thing?"
"What's the point of being nice to me? As long as he doesn't come down, I'll never be able to climb up."
Ye Guanlan, that old antique, is stubborn and has offended countless people, both openly and covertly. It was only a matter of time before he became like this.
"Why should I be trampled under Ye Guanlan's feet for the rest of my life? I'm the one who gets all the orders from outside, and I'm the one who makes all the connections. Without me, the pharmaceutical factory would have closed down long ago!"
He has fallen into a vicious circle. He thinks he is better than Ye Guanlan in every way. He forgets that as a pharmaceutical factory, if it cannot produce good medicine, no matter how many orders it has, they will all be lost, and no matter how good its reputation is, it will collapse.
Jiang Cha pulled Ye Surong over and said, "Mom, this kind of person is already broken at heart. We need to stay away from him to avoid being accidentally hurt."
Huo Tingkun accepted the task of investigating the truth of his grandfather's case in the afternoon. In the evening, Cen Jianjun was forced into a desperate situation and sneaked into the Ye family.
"You're not going to kidnap me and my mother, are you?"
Jiang Cha hit the nail on the head when thinking about Cen Jianjun. “My grandpa is innocent, so you’re panicking!”
"Bitch, you're as hateful as your grandfather. I'm going to kill you!"
Huo Tingkun kicked him and said, "Be honest and take him away."
"yes."
Cen Jianjun brought three thugs, two of whom were seriously injured, one was unconscious, and all four were dragged away.
"Uncle Ye will be back tomorrow, but he probably won't be able to return to the pharmaceutical factory. You should be prepared. Once Uncle Ye starts drug research in the military region, he will have to abide by the confidentiality agreement. You won't be able to see him at any time. Relatively speaking, he will be safer."
"I know."
For her, it was a blessing that her father could come out alive. "Dad's personality is actually more suitable for burying himself in research. I'll be at home waiting for you to come back!"
"good!"
Huo Jingchuan had another mission tomorrow, so he followed Huo Tingkun.
Huo Jingye stayed at Ye's house and tidied up the living room with Jiang Cha before taking a nap and getting up to go to work.
Jiang Cha slept until ten o'clock.
When she opened her eyes, her head was a little confused and she couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.
She raised her smooth arm and confirmed again and again that there were no marks on it before she got out of bed barefoot and opened the curtains in the room.
The scorching sun shone into the windowsill. She pushed open the glass window and a wave of heat rushed in.
Jiang Cha finally felt a sense of real rebirth.
Through the window, she saw Ye Guanlan getting out of the military vehicle.
Grandpa is back!
Jiang Cha didn't even bother to put on her shoes. She rushed downstairs in her pajamas and threw herself into Ye Guanlan's arms.
"Wow, grandpa, you're finally back. Cha Cha missed you so much!"
In her two lifetimes combined, she hasn't been able to throw herself into her grandfather's arms and act coquettishly for seventeen years!
Jiang Cha cried so hard that she was out of breath. The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time burst out at this moment. It was as if she wanted to shed all the tears in her life at once.
Ye Guanlan patted Jiang Cha's back and said, "Don't cry, Cha Cha. Grandpa has only been away for two days. From now on, Grandpa will be with you."
Jiang Cha sobbed, and the tears that Ye Surong had finally stopped burst out again.
"Then you must keep your word and stay with me forever!"
"When has Grandpa ever lied to you? Our Cha Cha is so well-behaved and capable, Grandpa can't bear to leave you."
Ye Guanlan was an extremely kind old man, over sixty years old, with gray hair and a calm and kind expression in his eyes and eyebrows. He rubbed the top of Jiang Cha's head and said, "Cha Cha, be good and don't cry!"
Jiang Cha cried so hard just now that her eyes were red. She finally stopped crying, but she was still sobbing and looked very pitiful.
"You kid, why did you come out without even wearing shoes?"
Huo Tingkun frowned slightly, and only then did Ye Surong and Ye Guanlan notice this.
"I was so happy to see grandpa that I forgot!" Jiang Cha curled up her toes embarrassedly.
"I'll get you your shoes."
As Ye Surong was about to turn around and go into the house, Huo Tingkun stood in front of Jiang Cha, kneeling and bending over.
He patted his shoulder and said, "Come here, Chacha. Uncle Huo will carry you in."
"No need, Uncle Huo, I can just go in and put on my shoes by myself."
"No," Ye Surong objected sharply. "A glass lamp broke last night, and there might still be debris on the ground. What if I cut my foot?"
Ye Guanlan nodded in agreement, "Girl, it's okay, your Uncle Huo is not a stranger, don't feel embarrassed!"
"That's right, come up here quickly. I've been missing a daughter in my life. Every time I see other people's families with sweet and soft little girls being pampered and loved, I get so angry looking at those two brats in my family. Cha Cha, don't be polite with me, just think of it as fulfilling Uncle Huo's dream of having a daughter!"
Jiang Cha looked at Huo Tingkun's tall and broad back nervously. She stretched out her hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally put her hand on Huo Tingkun's shoulder.
Huo Tingkun lifted her knees and Jiang Cha climbed onto his back.
From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Guodong has never carried her on his back.
Not even once.
Miraculously, she felt the warmth from her father from Huo Tingkun, a warmth she had never felt before.
Jiang Cha's nose felt a little sour, and she bit her lip, resisting the urge to cry.
Huo Tingkun said cheerfully, "Let's go. Uncle Huo will carry Princess Cha Cha into the house to put on her shoes."
The corners of Ye Surong's eyes turned red. She raised her hand and tidied Jiang Cha's messy hair. Ye Guanlan smiled with relief.
Outside the courtyard wall, a sharp roar was heard, "Jiang Cha, you bitch, give me back my money!"
