Chapter 309: Plea
She said no more and sobbed quietly.
The Ji family and the Tan family have begun to put pressure on the Ruan family.
The side branches are ready to make a move and are already trying to replace them.
Ruan Chengxuan hurried over and protected Ruan Qianqian behind him.
"Boss Zhong, Qianqian is not aware of this matter, you don't have to embarrass her."
Zhong Shaoqing frowned: "I wouldn't do anything to a woman."
The implication is that he will not let the Ruan family go.
Ruan Chengxuan nodded and curled his lips: "Grandpa and I planned this together. When Grandpa is out of danger, I plan to take him abroad for treatment and will not return to China."
He paused and continued, "As for the Ruan family, there will be a branch of the Ruan family that will take over."
Zhong Shaoqing didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.
The side branch took over, and what the Ruan family would become in the future was no longer something they could decide.
Ruan Chengxuan acted quickly and announced his resignation. Mr. Ruan survived the critical period, but suffered severe burns all over his body. He was afraid that he would have to rely on medication and spend the rest of the time in bed.
In just a few days, Haicheng changed dramatically.
Zhong Shaoqing took Tan Qinghuan back to the imperial capital first.
The engagement ceremony has been prepared, and Zhong's mother asked her to come back and rest assured to take care of her pregnancy.
The whole Zhong family was filled with joy.
In the lounge.
Ye Jinmo placed the food one by one. In front of the makeup mirror, the makeup artist was putting makeup on Tan Qinghuan.
Tan Qinghuan looked at the fruit that was being fed to her and sighed, "Jinmo, you've been busy all morning."
"Sister-in-law, you should eat more fruits to supplement your vitamins."
Ye Jinmo insisted: "Believe me, I'm a doctor. This is dragon fruit. The sugar content is not high."
The person in the chair can only open his mouth.
"kiwi!"
…
"mango!"
…
"Crystal dried persimmon!"
…
"Hurry, hurry, mom just steamed some candied dates!"
Tan Qinghuan waved his hands: "I can't eat anymore!"
She looked down at her belly, then at the dress next to her, a modified satin cheongsam. Would she be able to stuff it in later?
Ye Jinmo made a face at her and leaned closer: "Sister-in-law, you have great skin. When my brother sees you, he will definitely be fascinated by you."
When this was said, the makeup artist was also amused and agreed: "The eldest young lady's skin is just very good, I don't even need to put on much foundation."
The three were chatting happily when Zhou Yubing, Bai Jingjing and Jiang Xirou walked in.
After not seeing each other for half a month, the best friends were especially affectionate when they met.
A group of girls were chatting happily.
The housekeeper came in hurriedly, seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, and gave Ye Jinmo a wink.
"You guys chat first, then tell the babysitter what you want to eat."
She gave a few instructions and went out with the housekeeper.
The butler looked a little embarrassed, thinking about how to start the conversation.
"Uncle housekeeper, tell me, what happened?"
"It's nothing serious. It's the eldest lady of the Ji family who wants to see you. Today is the engagement ceremony of the eldest young master. Miss Jinmo, I'm afraid she is..."
Before she could finish her words, she understood.
The housekeeper was afraid that Ji Minghua would cause trouble.
After all, the last time Ji Sichen personally led people to capture Jiang Xirui, the news was widely spread.
The reason why Jiang Xirui was arrested lies with Ye Jinmo.
The Ji family did not make any public announcement, and Ji Sichen did not make any public statement, but this did not affect the people in the circle from seeing the current situation clearly.
Ji Sichen was openly protecting the little girl. It would have been enough to just catch the impostor, but he had to dig out the person behind it and bring down the Jiang family.
Naturally, all the servants in the Zhong family knew about this matter. Most of them were family-born children who had worked in the Zhong family for generations and were loyal servants to their master.
The housekeeper hesitated: "Miss Jinmo, how about I turn her down? She and Master Ji are having a very unhappy argument, and I'm afraid she'll vent her anger on you."
"Uncle housekeeper, hiding is not a solution. Take me to see her."
The housekeeper wanted to persuade her further, but seeing her expression, he stopped talking and took her to the back hall.
I haven't seen Ji Minghua for a few days. He looks a lot older.
There are many silver strands in his hair and a few more wrinkles on his face.
Her clothes were still sophisticated and elegant, and her makeup was thicker, but it couldn't hide the haggardness in her eyes.
There was hot tea on the coffee table, with steam rising from it.
She lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Ye Jinmo walked over and sat opposite her.
"Why doesn't Aunt Ji go to the front hall?"
Hearing the voices, she came back to her senses, looked up and tried to put on a smile.
"Jinmo is here."
She seemed a little nervous.
It was the first time Ye Jinmo saw her like this.
"Jinmo, I came here today for no other reason than to wish Shaoqing a happy engagement..."
She pushed the gift box on the table.
"You asked me to come here today specifically, it's not just to congratulate my brother on his engagement, right?" Ye Jinmo didn't want to beat around the bush.
The woman in front of me has an unfaithful husband and they have been separated for many years. Her only son is addicted to gambling and is now in jail.
If it weren't for her identity as the eldest daughter of the Ji family, she would have disappeared long ago.
"Jinmo, you are so smart. I came here to ask you for help..." Ji Minghua pursed his lips, mustered up the courage to look up at her, and twisted his fingers, "Can you help to ask Si Chen for mercy? He will definitely listen to you. Ruirui was also deceived. He didn't know that the money was suspected of money laundering. If he really spend ten years in prison, everything will be ruined when he comes out!"
Ye Jinmo was surprised. Ten years?
Ji Sichen sacrificed his own relatives for the sake of justice, and these ten years are indeed a long time.
Jiang Xirui was already in his thirties when he came out of prison.
"Aunt Ji, you are Brother Chen's aunt. You can talk to him directly and ask him to negotiate with the bureau."
Ye Jinmo looked serious, paused, and continued: "You also know that I was in Haicheng a while ago. I was not involved in what happened in the imperial capital..."
Ji Minghua sobbed softly: "I know, I just think that Si Chen likes you, and he will definitely listen to you..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhong Beichi hurried over with anger still on his face.
"Aunt Ji, aren't you forcing Jinmo?"
Ye Jinmo quickly stood up and held his hand.
Zhong Beichi protected her behind him.
"You probably don't know yet? Jinmo and my sister-in-law were kidnapped in Haicheng. The main culprit was Jiang Xiwen. The two of them almost got into trouble. Now you're forcing Jinmo to speak well of Jiang Xirui?"
He snorted coldly, getting angry: "He was indeed cheated, but when did he not target Jinmo? Don't forget, it was Jinmo who saved him when he fell into the river. You are repaying kindness with hatred. You still want to protect him after such a big incident because of gambling? Most of the reason why he has become like this is because of your doting!"
After a burst of rapid output, Ji Minghua's face turned ugly and his tears became even more intense.
Ye Jinmo tugged at her second brother's sleeve, signaling him to talk less.
Zhong Beichi ignored it and continued, "He is gambling, suspected of money laundering, and breaking the law. Jinmo is not a lawyer, nor a judge, and the police station is not owned by the Zhong family. Do you want her to speak well of her enemy? Aunt Ji, for the sake of the friendship between the Zhong and Ji families, I won't kick you out. You can leave on your own!"
Ji Minghua pursed his lips, his whole body hunched, his shoulders trembling, and he didn't dare to cry out loud.
He muttered: "I know, I know..."
