Chapter 96 I Love You
When Han Liang heard what I said, he smiled and said that we should solve our own problems, then he closed the door and left immediately.
Time seemed to stand still. I stood in the distance, quietly watching the person standing at the stairs. As I watched, I felt resentment at first, and finally tears began to well up in my eyes.
Jiang Ruohe walked towards me quickly and stood in front of me. For a moment, I thought I was dreaming, but he was standing in front of me so realistically. He looked at me with some heartache and guilt, and my tears instantly rolled down.
He reached out and gently stroked the tears on my face, and said sorry to me with some apology.
I held back my tears and looked up at him.
"Jiang Ruohe, you are a bastard."
After saying this, I turned and walked away. Jiang Ruohe was anxious and rushed forward to hug me. I struggled hard to get rid of him, but Jiang Ruohe hugged me tightly, murmuring sorry all the time.
Jiang Ruohe turned in front of me and looked at me apologetically.
"Xiao Wan, I'm really sorry. At that time..."
I looked up at him angrily.
"Jiang Ruohe, what do you think you are? We clearly talked about it at the beginning. If there is anything, don't hide it. Let's solve it together. But you, we have only been together for four or five days, giving me some good memories, and you started pretending to be dead again. Do you know how I have been going through these days?"
"From the moment I knew you were in trouble, do you know how scared, sad, and desperate I was?"
I put my hand over my heart.
"My heart aches all the time. Every night, I sit on the bed and cry secretly. I miss you so much. I miss you so much..."
I stared at him intently. I didn't expect Jiang Ruohe to pretend to be dead in front of me. These days, I was like a clown, letting him deceive me. I was really angry in my heart.
Feeling a little unsatisfied, I put my hand on his chest and called him a jerk.
"Jiang Ruohe, you really went too far." I sobbed and cried, feeling so wronged.
Jiang Ruohe reached out and hugged me.
"Xiao Wan, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you. Seeing you like this these days, I feel bad too. I miss you every day and can't sleep every day. Sometimes, I hold my phone, enter your number, and want to call out several times, but I finally hold back."
"You can't lie to me then." I cried and punched him. Jiang Ruohe let go of me with some pain.
Seeing Jiang Ruohe's face full of pain, I quickly stopped crying. Seeing him covering his heart, I quickly pulled open his clothes and saw the bleeding wound on his heart. I was shocked and wanted to find a medicine box, but was stopped by Jiang Ruohe.
"My first priority now is to ask for your forgiveness." He endured the pain and held my hand in a flattering manner.
I looked at Jiang Ruohe. After venting my anger, my anger had long since subsided, and now I felt more heartbroken.
I also understand that he didn't tell me because he had his reasons.
Jiang Ruohe looked at me.
"If it doesn't work, I'll go to the kitchen and get a kitchen knife. You can kill me. That'll be enough to vent your anger."
I glared at Jiang Ruohe and reached out to hug him.
"Don't lie to me like this next time. I'm afraid of losing you, Jiang Ruohe. I love you, so much."
This was the first time I said this to Jiang Ruohe, and Jiang Ruohe trembled.
"Xiaowan, I love you too." He put his arms around my waist.
Thinking of his injury, I pushed him away, asked him to sit on the sofa, and asked where Han Liang's medicine box was. He said it was under the TV cabinet.
I found the medicine box and removed the gauze from Jiang Ruohe's body. When I saw the bleeding wound, I felt very sad. I held back my tears, applied medicine to him, and then wrapped it with gauze again.
After putting the medicine box away, I sat back on the sofa. Jiang Ruohe put his arm around my shoulders, let me lean on his shoulder, and told me what had happened before.
Jiang Ruohe said that he knew from the beginning that Xiao Shi was his half-brother; his grandfather told him.
So when I first started working at Xiao Shi Company, he reminded me of this, but at that time, Jiang Ruohe and I had too many conflicts, so I didn't take his words seriously.
Because they knew about it in advance, Jiang Ruohe sent people to keep an eye on Xiao Shiyi when he appeared.
Later, because of the matter between Cai Qing and Mu Yan, Jiang Ruohe had no choice but to push me to Xiao Shi's side. He once thought that if Xiao Shi really liked me and I happened to like Xiao Shi, he would choose to let go. After all, he had done so many things to hurt me, and it was really difficult for me to like him.
Jiang Ruohe stretched out his left hand and scratched my nose.
"Don't mention how happy I am when I know you have me in your heart."
"I can understand why he targeted my mom, but he targeted my aunt, causing her to take drugs and transfer the North City branch to him. Only then did I realize that he wanted Jiang Corporation more."
Jiang Ruohe said that during the days when Mu Yan and Cai Qing were arrested, Xiao Shi went on a business trip to North City. Later, Jiang Ruohe found someone to hold him back, and the two of us were able to spend a few days together in peace.
Xiao Shi returned to Nancheng the day before Jiang Ruohe went on a business trip. The first thing he did when he returned to Nancheng was to have someone get rid of Jiang Ruohe. Fortunately, Jiang Ruohe knew about it in advance. He also knew that the reason why Tian Rong was able to marry into the Jiang family was because of Xiao Shi's help, so he deliberately revealed his whereabouts to Tian Rong and asked Tian Rong to tell Xiao Shi.
"I originally thought I had taken sufficient precautions, but I didn't expect Xiao Shi to be so ruthless. Not only did he tamper with my car, he also hired someone to assassinate me. He really wanted to kill me. Fortunately, I notified Han Liang beforehand and asked him to help me."
Jiang Ruohe said that he was injured that time, and it was quite serious. He woke up two days later. After waking up, Han Liang told him that the news of his death had been released.
"The first person I was worried about was you, but Han Liang said there was nothing he could do. If Xiao Shi knew I wasn't dead, he would definitely kill me and never tell anyone, and it would also hurt you, so I could only endure it."
Jiang Ruohe turned around and stretched out his left hand to gently stroke my face.
"These days, I really miss you. I also feel so sorry for you. I wanted to hide it for a while, and when I figured out some things, I would come back to find you, but this time when I heard that you were in trouble, I really couldn't help it."
I looked at Jiang Ruohe uncomfortably and said that I just lost my temper because I was too depressed these days and missed him too much. For a short period of time, I really thought he was dead, so when he appeared in front of me, you can imagine how big a shock it was to me.
At that time, my heart was excited and angry, but now I am only happy. I put my arms around Jiang Ruohe's waist.
"I'm so glad that the person I love is still alive. I never want to experience this feeling of separation between life and death again. It's really not pleasant at all." I said in a suppressed voice.
Jiang Ruohe kissed my forehead lightly and said he would never do that again.
After a while, we talked about Shen Xiuting's incident this time. I briefly told him what happened. Jiang Ruohe hugged me tighter, suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at me.
"Did you faint at that time?"
I nodded.
Jiang Ruohe looked worried. He immediately called Han Liang and asked him to find a doctor to give me a comprehensive examination.
"I guess Xiaowan was too tired these past two days and has some anemia, so she fainted..." Han Liang said while yawning on the phone.
"Stop talking nonsense and call a doctor immediately." Jiang Ruohe hung up the phone directly.
I looked up at him and said it should be the same as what Han Liang said.
"That won't work. We need to check it out."
Seeing Jiang Ruohe's worried look, I felt a little touched. I reached out and took his hand, then looked down at my right hand. I remembered that Xiao Shi had lost the ring for me last time, and I felt a little sorry.
Jiang Ruohe took my right hand, stroked it, and looked up at me.
"Xiao Wan, let's get married after we find out the cause of Shen Xiuting's death."
I looked at him with some amusement and said, "Aren't we already married and not divorced, why do you want to get married again?"
"The previous time doesn't count. We were both so reluctant."
Jiang Ruohe looked at me with a smile.
"I'm actually quite grateful to Grandpa for bringing us together and helping us understand what love is."
After a while, Han Liang called a doctor over. The doctor gave me a detailed examination. After more than ten minutes, the doctor said that I was just too sad recently. The fainting was caused by anemia, and it was not a big problem.
"Then, doctor, how can I replenish my blood?"
The person who asked this question was Jiang Ruohe. The doctor said it was too late today and he would write a blood supplement list for him tomorrow morning.
"Thank you."
Jiang Ruohe sent the doctor away. I glanced at the wall clock and it was already 3:30 in the morning. Maybe I was too excited and couldn't feel sleepy.
Jiang Ruohe stroked my face with some concern and asked me if I was hungry. I said a little.
"Then I'll go make you noodles."
I lay on the sofa, holding a blanket, quietly watching the person busy in the kitchen. Unconsciously, my eyes became red. I think it was because I was happy and touched.
After a while, Jiang Ruohe brought a bowl of green pepper and shredded pork noodles to the coffee table.
After eating the noodles, it was almost five in the morning. The two of them yawned and went upstairs to the guest room.
Lying on the bed, Jiang Ruohe put his hands on my waist and hugged me tightly. I buried my head in his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. At this moment, I was still a little worried, feeling a little unreal, and a little afraid that the man next to me would disappear early tomorrow morning.
Jiang Ruohe patted my back gently and said that he would never leave again. I nodded, closed my eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.
Perhaps Shen Xiuting's death was too bloody, which made me dream about her. She was pressed against the ceiling, staring at me, and all the blood on her neck fell on my face.
I sat up from the bed like crazy, saying that I didn't kill her. Jiang Ruohe hurriedly reached out and hugged me, calling me several times. Only then did I come to my senses and look at Jiang Ruohe in panic.
"I dreamed of Shen Xiuting. She was hanging from the ceiling. Ruohe, I hoped she would die, but I didn't kill her."
"I know." Jiang Ruohe comforted me.
After a while, her emotions finally stabilized and she looked at him with some self-mockery.
"Am I so useless that I get so scared over such a small thing?"
Jiang Ruohe reached out and hugged me, saying that this was normal.
"Xiao Wan, don't worry. We will work together to find the real culprit. Also, Grandpa is very happy to know that you and I are safe. He is very patient and asked us to find the real culprit as soon as possible. That way, we can protect the Jiang family."
I nodded and said yes.
The two hugged each other for a long time.
"Xiaowan." Jiang Ruohe called me.
"Wait till tonight, I'll talk to Han Liang and we'll move back to sleep at night."
I was stunned for a moment.
"Living in someone else's house, you can't do anything you want."
My face turned red and I reached out to push him away. Jiang Ruohe smirked and said that he was a normal man.
Jiang Ruohe put his face close to my ear.
"Besides, I find that as soon as I see you, I have ideas."
I pushed Jiang Ruohe away again and gave him a cold look.
Jiang Ruohe laughed a few times, lifted the quilt, and said he would make breakfast for me. I reached out and held his hand.
"I'll do it. You're still hurt."
After freshening up, I went downstairs to have breakfast. We ate at ten o'clock. After breakfast, I took out my phone and searched the news. The police really did announce my death. They said I had escaped from the detention center and lost control of the car and rushed into the river. I was so upset...
Turning to look at Jiang Ruohe, he complained, "Can't Han Liang come up with a better excuse? If I abscond, wouldn't that confirm my guilt?"
Jiang Ruohe took my phone and told me not to pay attention to what was in the news.
"This will only confuse the murderer and make him careless."
I hummed and lowered my head to think for a while.
"But I'm worried. Xiao Shi knows I'm not dead. If the murderer is one of his people, then I'm..."
Jiang Ruohe shook his head and said it was not Xiao Shi.
I tilted my head and looked at Jiang Ruohe.
"So sure it's not him?"
Jiang Ruohe put his arm around my waist and said that his people had been keeping an eye on Xiao Shi, and Xiao Shi’s current goal was to take over the Jiang family.
"Alas, if giving Jiang to him can resolve the hatred in his heart, then I am willing to give it to him. However, I am a little worried..."
Just then, Jiang Ruohe's cell phone rang. It was Han Liang calling. Jiang Ruohe chatted with him for a few words and then hung up.
"What were you two talking about?" I asked puzzledly.
"I asked you to cook more dishes for lunch and he came over to eat. I said we weren't hungry right now, so I told him to take care of himself at noon and come over for dinner in the evening. He could also take us home on the way."
The two of us stayed at Han Liang's house in the afternoon. Under the current circumstances, we can't go out and show our faces in public, so we can only stay here.
It was too boring. Jiang Ruohe and I played cards. Whoever lost got to draw the turtle. But neither of us gave in. When Han Liang came, he looked at our faces and squatted down with laughter.
"Oh my god, my stomach hurts from laughing. How childish are you two?"
I put away the cards, turned to look at Han Liang, and said there was no other way. We couldn't go out, and it was boring to stay here, so we could only find something boring like this to do.
Jiang Ruohe and I went to the kitchen and helped each other wash our faces. After I wiped Jiang Ruohe's face with a handkerchief, Jiang Ruohe turned around and kissed me on the cheek.
"Stop making trouble, Han Liang is still in the living room."
I walked out, sat on the sofa, and asked Han Liang if he had found any results in the investigation into my case. Han Liang shook his head.
"It felt like the murderer had come prepared. When Shen Xiuting was killed, the surveillance equipment in the entire building malfunctioned. It took more than ten minutes for it to return to normal. The maintenance personnel couldn't explain the cause of the malfunction."
"This murderer must be very careful and meticulous. He also chose the right time to deliberately frame Xiaowan. This has made things more difficult for us police officers."
Han Liang looked up at me and told me not to take it too seriously.
"Don't worry, our police will definitely clear your name."
I nodded, hoping that Han Liang could find the murderer as soon as possible, so that I could return to Jiang Group. Otherwise, Xiao Shi might really swallow up Jiang Group.
As if he saw my worry, Jiang Ruohe took my hand and told me not to worry, and that he would attend the board meeting on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
"And I have a way to make Xiao Shi quit Jiang's." Jiang Ruohe smiled at me.
I hurriedly asked him what the solution was.
"I won't tell you for now. I'll tell you when things are really resolved."
Looking at Jiang Ruohe, I nodded and said okay, then got up and started preparing dinner.
When I was cutting vegetables, Han Liang was standing at the kitchen door. Seeing him looking at me, I asked him what was wrong.
Han Liang came back to his senses, shook his head and said it was okay.
"I just envy you and Jiang Ruohe."
Han Liang walked in with a sad look on his face.
When I saw him before, he always had a smiling face. This was the first time I saw such pessimism in Han Liang's eyes.
"What's there for us to envy? Jiang Ruohe and I were enemies before. You can also find a girlfriend and have a good relationship. Learn from Yan Yun. Although she and Yang Ru are not officially in a relationship now, they both have a good impression of each other. I believe that they will be together soon."
I smiled at Han Liang and told him to hurry up.
Han Liang looked at me and said that he had a girlfriend whom he loved deeply before, but unlike Jiang Ruohe and me, the two of them went from love to hatred and became enemies.
Hearing what he said piqued my curiosity, and I quickly asked Han Liang to tell me the story of him and his girlfriend.
Han Liang came back to his senses and asked me to cook, and he would tell me the details of what happened when he had time.
I curled my lips and said he was really keeping me in suspense.
Han Liang sighed.
"I saw her the other day."
I hurriedly asked Han Liang where he saw it, and a trace of sadness flashed across Han Liang's eyes.
"On the online fugitive list inquiry system."
I stood there in silence, looking at Han Liang with some sympathy. I guessed that this was probably a sad story, so I didn't dare ask any more questions and just focused on cooking.
Han Liang left the kitchen.
After a while, I turned my head and looked at the living room. Han Liang and Jiang Ruohe were sitting on the sofa discussing something. Seeing Han Liang's serious expression, I could only sigh.
After dinner, Han Liang drove me back to his car twice. When leaving, he told us to just stay at home and leave the task of catching the murderer to them.
It felt different to be back home. We returned to our room and Jiang Ruohe hugged me. I smiled and pushed him away, telling him to stop making trouble and that I had to go take a shower.
"Why two for one?"
I rolled my eyes at him and said I wasn't in the mood right now.
"How about this, we can get together again after we find the murderer of Shen Xiuting."
Jiang Ruohe sighed and looked at me with some resentment.
"Okay, I will speed up and find the murderer in these two days. Otherwise, I will be anxious because I can't eat while looking at my wife."
After taking a shower, I fell asleep holding Jiang Ruohe. At night, I would still dream of Shen Xiuting, but this time I was not afraid. I told Shen Xiuting that it was not me who killed her, and that I should find whoever did it. Then Shen Xiuting disappeared just like that.
When I woke up, it was already morning, but I didn't see the person next to me. I felt a little puzzled, so I sat up from the bed. When Jiang Ruohe came out of the bathroom, he was wearing a black casual suit, so I asked him what he was going out for.
"In order to be with my wife sooner, and also because I'm worried about when Han Liang and the others will find the murderer, I have no choice but to do it myself."
I lifted the quilt and stood up to look at Jiang Ruohe.
"Didn't Han Liang tell you not to go out?"
Jiang Ruohe put his arm around my waist and told me not to worry about him.
"I'm just going to Shen Xiuting's house to investigate. Maybe there are some new clues. If not, I'll come back. I won't be in any danger."
After breakfast, Jiang Ruohe went out. I was bored staying home alone, so I took out my phone and sent a message to Yin Jian, asking him how things were going.
After a while, Yin Jian called.
"Oh my God, Yu Xiaowan, you're not dead?"
I nodded.
"Why, you want me to die?" I asked jokingly.
"No, no, no, you're my employer. After all, I accepted the 200,000 yuan from Jiang Ruohe. I was shocked when I first saw the news about you killing someone. Then I heard about your death yesterday. It really scared me."
"Do you have any new clues about Tian Wu's case?" he asked.
"There's no trace of Tian Wu yet, but I've noticed something suspicious."
When I heard this, I hurriedly asked Yin Jian what was going on.
"When I heard about your arrest, I thought I had accepted Jiang Ruohe's money again, and I had to finish this matter. So I followed Tian Rong yesterday, wondering if Tian Wu would take any action if he was still alive and knew his ex-wife was dead."
"Didn't Tian Rong have a miscarriage in the hospital?"
"Yes, but she actually went out at noon yesterday, and she went out secretly."
"Did you catch up?" I asked.
Yin Jian said he did follow me, but only for half an hour. When the traffic light was about to turn red, he was stopped by a cleaner who said my car had hit him.
"By the time we get rid of the cleaner, she'll be gone. It'll be two hours before she's back at the hospital."
I thought about it and felt that this matter was a bit suspicious. After all, Shen Xiuting had just died, and Tian Rong had a miscarriage due to excessive grief. She should have been staying in the hospital to rest and take care of her health these two days. If there was really something wrong, she would ask Jiang Nianhao to do it. Why would she run out alone?
I asked Yin Jian to help me keep an eye on Tian Rong, and to call me if she goes out again.
At noon, Jiang Ruohe came back. I quickly hugged him and said that I had been worried to death about him all morning.
"I've decided there's no such restriction anymore."
Jiang Ruohe smiled gently, lowered his head and touched my forehead, saying that overall he had gained something from his visit to Shen Xiuting's house this time.
Jiang Ruohe pulled me to sit on the sofa and handed me a box of medicine from his pocket with the words "mifepristone tablets" written on it.
"What's this?" I asked him.
"Abortion pills."
Jiang Ruohe took out a receipt and asked to see the purchase date. It was bought at the pharmacy the day before Shen Xiuting’s accident. The two pills in the box were gone.
