Chapter 133 Jiang Zhao, Qu Zhi, and Zhao Wan
A Beijing opera artist.
Qu Zhi frowned slightly, staring at his nephew who was drinking tea, and asked worriedly, "Will they find out about the Qu family?"
Jiang Zhao was wearing a white shirt, his white wrists moved slightly, he lowered his eyes to sip tea, and looked relaxed.
Qu Zhi looked anxious, but didn't dare to urge him.
His nephew has been a man of his own ideas since he was young.
Jiang Zhao put down the teacup, played with the Buddhist beads, and said, "I'm sure you'll find out."
Qu Zhi's expression changed.
Jiang Zhao continued leisurely, "But they have no evidence."
Qu Zhi's expression relaxed, and he smiled and said, "Yu Chengping said he wanted to give me money. Fortunately, you didn't make me agree."
Jiang Zhao raised his eyelids and glanced at his uncle, saying unhappily, "Uncle, you need to change your habit of being obsessed with money."
Qu Zhi relaxed his body and leaned back, crossing his legs and said, "What are you afraid of? With the old man here, who dares to touch me?"
He smiled and said, "Qu Si caught a woman in Changdu Town. It's quite interesting."
As Qu Zhi finished speaking, Qu Si came in, escorting the thin and disheveled woman.
Zhao Wan was pushed hard and knelt on the ground, her knees hurting.
She looked up hurriedly and saw two people sitting in front of her.
The middle-aged man has some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, a slightly bulging belly, and a tuft of beard on his chin, showing that he had a good appearance when he was young.
The young man was wearing a white shirt, standing straight, with Buddhist beads on his hands. He looked even more handsome and had a gentle smile.
Zhao Wan frowned slightly. This young man looked a bit like Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen's eyebrows and eyes were more bold and profound.
"Who are you and why are you arresting me?"
She stared at the two of them warily.
The middle-aged man pointed at her and said to the young man, "This woman has offended Jiang Chen, and his people are looking for her everywhere."
The young man smiled slightly and asked softly, "Who are you to Jiang Chen?"
Zhao Wan sat up straight and smoothed her messy hair: "Why should I tell you."
Qu Zhi's expression changed, it was over.
The next second, Jiang Zhao suddenly swung his hand and slapped Zhao Wan, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground, her hair disheveled again.
Jiang Zhao's smile remained gentle: "Last chance, who are you to Jiang Chen?"
Zhao Wan was frightened by the young man's sudden change of mood and turned pale.
She no longer dared to play smart and said honestly, "My name is Zhao Wan, and Jiang Chen is my... my fiancé."
"You're lying." Jiang Zhao sat back and exposed her in a calm voice.
Qu Si kicked Zhao Wan in the stomach.
Zhao Wan broke out in a cold sweat from the pain and could only honestly say, "Ex-fiancé, he is my ex-fiancé."
Jiang Zhao said gently, "Continue."
Zhao Wan covered her aching stomach and thought of Ye Rou, feeling secretly resentful. If it weren't for Ye Rou, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
She said coldly, "Jiang Chen fell in love with a woman. He loved that woman very much. I couldn't accept it. I wanted to kill that woman but failed, so Jiang Chen arrested me."
Jiang Zhao became interested. He smiled and asked, "What's that woman's name?"
"Ye Rou."
Jiang Zhao nodded and said calmly, "Take her away and keep an eye on her. She'll be useful in the future."
Zhao Wan was dragged away by Qu Si.
Qu Zhi asked him uncertainly, "Is what this woman said true?"
Jiang Zhao crossed his legs and said in a cold voice, "It should be true. When she mentioned this name, she couldn't hide her hatred at all."
"It will be useful in the future." Qu Zhi frowned and asked, "Jiang Chen is coming to Jing City?"
"Yeah." Jiang Zhao stood up, his face unhappy: "Zhao Yuyan must have discovered my identity, she wants to take Jiang Chen back."
Qu Zhi looked at his outstanding and handsome nephew and sighed: "It's all your mother's fault. She insisted on marrying Jiang Dehai and even hid your identity from him."
The children of the Qu family have to be told to the outside world that they are orphans, which Qu Zhi thinks is unlucky.
Jiang Zhao was in a good mood.
"Soon, I'll let my mother marry Jiang Dehai in a dignified manner."
Indeed, what could a madman raised in the countryside do to fight against his nephew? After realizing this, Qu Zhi encouraged his nephew by patting his shoulder.
"It's good that you have this spirit."
Jiang Zhao said goodbye to his uncle and went downstairs first for fear that his relationship with the Qu family would be discovered.
I bumped into a man running upstairs in a hurry on the stairs.
The man had an exaggerated hairstyle and wore a bright red suit. He didn't apologize after bumping into him, but snorted in a very arrogant manner.
Jiang Zhao smiled gently and said calmly, "Sorry."
The man didn't even look at him and went upstairs with his leather shoes tapping.
Jiang Zhao didn't take it seriously and went downstairs.

Ye Rou woke up the next day and found herself lying on the kang, feeling dazed.
Zhou Nian pushed the door open and came in. Seeing that she was awake, he smiled and said, "I was just about to call you to eat."
Ye Rou nodded, thinking that it must be Jiang Chen who sent her back.
She reached out to stroke her hair, and the jade bracelet slipped down. She raised her hand in surprise, only to see that the jade bracelet she had left for Jiang Chen was back on her wrist.
Ye Rou touched her chest in surprise and found the tourmaline necklace was on.
Zhou Nian looked at her and said with a smile, "Jiang Chen put it on you."
Ye Rou is charming and beautiful with good skin, so she deserves to wear some beautiful and exquisite jewelry.
"Come out for dinner." Zhou Nian reminded him and pushed the door open to go out.
Ye Rou took out a small wooden box from the bedside. It was given to her by Aunt Zhou to store her miscellaneous things. Inside it were the ruby and sapphire rings and glass flowers given by Jiang Chen. She was concerned about being in the village and couldn't be too ostentatious, so she took off the necklace and bracelet and put them in the wooden box.
She put the jewelry away and opened the system. Sure enough, she failed to win the lottery last night.
Ye Rou turned off the system and changed out of her overalls.
As soon as autumn came, Aunt Zhou knitted a soft pink sweater for her. Ye Rou put on the sweater, put on the dark blue jeans she made herself, tied her hair into a braid, and went out of the house.
When Aunt Zhou saw Ye Rou wearing the sweater she knitted, her eyes lit up and she smiled and said, "It really fits."
"Thank you, auntie. It's very comfortable to wear." Ye Rou thanked her auntie.
Zhou Liang and Jiang Chen came in from the door.
I saw Ye Rou as soon as I entered the door because the color of her sweater was so bright.
Jiang Chen stared at Ye Rou.
Zhou Liang said, "Brother Jiang, Wang Chun said he's back from Beijing."
"Yeah." Jiang Chen responded casually, leaving him behind and striding towards Ye Rou.
Ye Rou was stunned by the way he was looking at her, and smiled shyly. Just as the corners of her mouth rose, Jiang Chen suddenly sped up, strode towards her, grabbed her shoulders and was about to kiss her.
She quickly blocked Jiang Chen's mouth and said through gritted teeth, "No kissing."
"Why?" Jiang Chen put his arm around her waist, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Ye Rou wasn't as thick-skinned as Jiang Chen, so she said solemnly, "No kissing if there's anyone else around."
Jiang Chen turned around and saw Zhou Liang and Zhou Nian looking at him expectantly.
He glanced at them.
Zhou Liang understood immediately and turned around with his sister.
"No one's watching now." Jiang Chen said in a domineering tone, "You can kiss now."
Ye Rou stomped his foot in anger and said word by word, "I told you, you are not allowed to kiss when someone is around!"
Jiang Chen frowned in pain and was about to argue when Aunt Zhou came out with a pot of porridge.
"Eat quickly."
Ye Rou sat down with a puffed face.
Jiang Chen limped and sat down.
Zhou Liang and Zhou Nian were having a hard time holding back their laughter.
Aunt Zhou looked at the four children, smiled and shook her head, saying that they were still young after all.
Ye Rou doesn't like egg yolks because they choke her throat.
She stuffed the egg yolk into Jiang Chen's mouth and Jiang Chen ate it naturally.
Zhou Liang looked at Brother Jiang being eaten alive and made obscene faces and smiled.
Suddenly the door was pushed open and Zhou Ping and Wei Jie walked in.
Wei Jie said with a smile: "I'm eating!"
