Chapter 91 Crisis Approaches
Jiang Ranxing glanced at the screen; it was a call from Jiang Huanchen.
She recalled the last time she saw her younger brother and mother, and how they verbally abused her with barbed words, a memory she didn't want to revisit.
The phone kept ringing, but Jiang Ranxing hesitated to press the answer button.
Lin Xuesha casually remarked, "Ranxing, your phone is ringing, aren't you going to answer it?"
Jiang Ranxing glanced at her but didn't say anything.
She answered the phone: "Hello? Huanchen."
Jiang Huanchen's voice came from the other end of the phone: "What's wrong with you, sis? Why did it take you so long to answer my call!"
"I just saw it," Jiang Ranxing said calmly. "What's wrong?"
Jiang Huanchen spoke slowly, but his tone remained as forceful as ever.
"So many days have passed, sis, you should send money home by now. Send it to me now."
Jiang Ranxing glanced at Fu Shenyuan, covered the phone receiver, and walked upstairs by herself, saying to Jiang Huanchen, "Didn't I tell you, I won't give you any more money?"
One-sided giving will not bring corresponding feelings in return.
She didn't want to do anything meaningless anymore.
Jiang Huanchen immediately flew into a rage: "So, Jiang Ranxing, you're clearly not going to care about the fate of your family!"
Jiang Ranxing remained silent for a while. After returning to her bedroom, she placed her phone on her work desk and turned on speakerphone.
She really didn't want to hear Jiang Huanchen's almost humiliating words at such close range.
“Huanchen—” Jiang Ranxing interrupted him, “I still consider you my younger brother, and you’d better treat me like your older sister. Ask yourself honestly, have I ever wronged the Jiang family over the years? In fact, I’ve already taken care of them far too much. You’d better show some respect when you speak.”
Jiang Huanchen was now furious: "Jiang Ranxing, what do you mean by that? You've forgotten your roots now that you have money, haven't you? Do you want to see the Jiang family die?"
Jiang Ranxing felt a black fog before his eyes and realized that he couldn't communicate with Jiang Huanchen at all.
"In that case, let's stop talking and leave it at that."
Jiang Ranxing stopped listening to Jiang Huanchen's nagging and hung up the phone first.
She really felt that she didn't have that much patience to deal with these people anymore.
When she was kind to everyone around her, no one took her seriously.
Now, she wants to take back all those sacrifices, and no one can stop her.
She asked herself if she had ever been fair to anyone. In this world, if she had ever wronged anyone, it would only be Jiang Ranxing.
For more than twenty years, she lived for so many people and was entangled in their joys and sorrows.
Now, she truly believes that she is the person most deserving of love in the world.
From now on, she will take good care of herself.
Jiang Ranxing opened his laptop and continued working.
At this moment, Jiang Huanchen, looking at the phone that had been hung up, was furious.
Jiang's mother, Xu Qinghe, listened intently and could tell that Jiang Ranxing's attitude was not pleasant.
"Mom! My sister refuses to pay, what am I going to do about my gambling debts? If I don't pay them back soon, the creditors will be coming to collect."
A few days ago, Jiang Huanchen was deceived by a new friend from out of town and participated in gambling.
At first, he won a lot and found the game exciting, so he became interested.
Later, his friend took him to a high-end casino, where he won a few rounds. As the stakes increased, his luck took a sharp turn for the worse, and he ended up losing everything and incurring a large gambling debt.
Jiang Huanchen nestled against his mother like an infant, crying and shouting.
"Those debt collectors are incredibly ruthless. I heard they almost beat debtors to death. I don't want to die!"
Xu Qinghe felt very sorry for her son. When she heard that her son was going to be beaten to death, her heart sank.
"Son, don't worry, Mom won't let them beat you."
Xu Qinghe thought of Jiang Ranxing, and her expression became somewhat distorted.
“Your sister has to give us the money. If she doesn’t, we’ll go to your brother-in-law. He’s so rich, he’ll definitely give it to us.”
Xu Qinghe patted her 1.8-meter-tall son on the back to comfort him: "We'll go find your sister tomorrow!"
Jiang Huanchen then stopped crying and nestled into his mother's arms.
At this moment, in the Green Mountain Villa.
Lin Xuesha and Fu Shenyuan finished their late-night snack downstairs and checked the time; it was already late at night.
Lin Xuesha took Fu Shenyuan's arm and said softly, "Shenyuan, let's go back to the bedroom to sleep."
Fu Shenyuan nodded, but then pulled his arm away.
"You go to sleep first. I still have some documents to look at. I'll sleep in the guest room and won't disturb you."
Lin Xuesha was somewhat stunned.
Even though they've already "had relations," why is Fu Shenyuan still so resistant to sleeping in the same bed with her?
Lin Xuesha lowered her head and said in a very aggrieved voice, "Shen Yuan, is it because you dislike me for having been with other people that you don't want to accept me?"
Lin Xuesha's eyes were still glistening with tears, making her look incredibly endearing.
Fu Shenyuan shook his head: "You're overthinking it, Xue Sha. That's not what I meant."
Fu Shenyuan carefully observed Lin Xuesha, as if he could see the face of the little girl from more than ten years ago through Lin Xuesha's appearance.
That figure that he will always hold in the most important place in his heart.
Lin Xuesha asked with some doubt: "Then why do you seem so reluctant to get close to me?"
Fu Shenyuan raised his hand and touched her long, black, shiny hair, as if she were a precious treasure.
“That’s not it, Xue Sha, you mean something different to me,” Fu Shenyuan said.
Whenever Fu Shenyuan thinks about the past, his entire demeanor changes.
"Xue Sha, do you still remember what you said when you saved me that night at the beach?" Fu Shenyuan's gaze softened as he drifted into memories of the past.
Fu Shenyuan said, "You were willing to give up your own life to save me..."
He could never repay such kindness with any means in his lifetime.
Now, even if Lin Xuesha wanted his life as compensation, he wouldn't blink.
His life was saved by Lin Xuesha, and he would live the rest of his life for her.
Therefore, Lin Xuesha is a very special person in his life, and he is unwilling to treat her lightly.
Lin Xuesha's smile froze for a moment, then she smiled gently again.
"Shen Yuan, I'm willing to do anything for you."
After saying that, Lin Xuesha threw herself into Fu Shenyuan's arms.
Where Fu Shenyuan couldn't see, Lin Xuesha's eyes showed a moment of panic.
Knowing Fu Shenyuan's obsession with the incident that saved her life years ago, she understood one thing: she absolutely could not let Fu Shenyuan remember any more of it.
What happened back then must be kept buried deep in everyone's hearts and never seen the light of day again.
The most important thing is to get Fu Shenyuan and Jiang Ranxing divorced as soon as possible.
Lin Xuesha accompanied Fu Shenyuan back to the study before returning to the master bedroom herself.
Seeing the master bedroom filled with traces of Jiang Ranxing's life, Lin Xuesha's eyes turned disgusted and fierce.
She took out her phone, dialed a number, and the call was answered a few seconds later.
"How's the matter going?"
