Chapter 165 They Came Knocking



Kyoto Hospital.

Commissar Yu sat in the corridor of the ward, looking at the woman standing beside him with a very unpleasant expression.

"What right do you have to object to my marriage?"

The woman wore an elegant cheongsam and light makeup. Although she was clearly in her forties or fifties, she looked like a woman in her twenties.

“Xiangdong, you can’t question me like this. This is not my idea, it’s your father’s idea. I’m just doing what he told me to do.”

The woman looked at Political Commissar Yu with an innocent expression, "I know you've never liked me as your stepmother, but you've really misunderstood me about this."

Besides, your dad did nothing wrong. The girl you're going to marry is overweight and has no good education or family background. There's no benefit for you in marrying her.

Your dad is doing this for your own good.

"benefit?"

Commissar Yu sneered, "My marriage is not a transaction of your rights."

"Then you should talk to your dad. Talking to me won't help."

The woman looked at Political Commissar Yu and innocently tossed her hair, "Xiang Dong, you're just being too serious. What's wrong with my cousin's daughter?"

She graduated from a prestigious university, has a great major, is beautiful, has a good job, and most importantly, comes from a wealthy family. If you marry her, my cousin-in-law can help you a lot.

This Yu Xiangdong is nothing like his father, but he is very much like his mother who died young. They are equally serious, equally stubborn, and inflexible.

Political Commissar Yu ignored her and got up to go to the ward.

Seeing his expression, the woman quickly chased after him.

"Xiangdong, you're not really going to tell your dad about this, are you?"

Don't forget, he has heart disease now; he can't be stimulated or get angry.

Political Commissar Yu didn't say anything, but pushed open the door to the ward and went in.

Looking at the man with his eyes closed on the hospital bed, Political Commissar Yu said coldly, "Stop pretending, I know you're not asleep."

The man on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes. His face was very pale due to his illness, making him look even older.

"Xiang Dong, I'm doing this for your own good."

"For my own good?"

Yu Xiangdong sneered, "If you really cared about me, you wouldn't have abandoned me and my mother back then. Where were you when I almost froze to death outside?"

Why didn't you say back then that you were doing it for my own good and would have compensated me and my mother more money? That way, my mother wouldn't have ruined her health so early from raising me..."

"You still resent me."

Hearing these words, the man on the hospital bed closed his eyes in anguish. "I deeply regret my decision back then. I've let you and your mother down..."

"Shut up."

Commissar Yu's face was full of hatred. "You are not worthy to mention my mother. You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore."

"If my boss hadn't sent me, I wouldn't have come to see you at all."

This man had long since ceased to be his concern.

He has never relied on his connections over the years; he has gotten to where he is today step by step on his own.

"you……"

The man on the bed wanted to say something, but his breathing suddenly became rapid due to excitement.

"Tianhai, what's wrong?"

The woman who followed her in noticed something was wrong with the man on her bed and quickly ran out to call the doctor.

Political Commissar Yu couldn't leave, so he waited on the side.

However, there was no concern or worry on his face; he simply watched calmly as the doctor performed emergency treatment.

What he's worried about now is Yao Hua. The marriage report has been suppressed, and with Jiang's father and Lu Jingnian around, Yao Hua must already know about it.

I wonder if she's angry?

...

The next day.

Although Lu Jingnian did not return, he knew that Jiang Yue was going to the photography studio, so he specially asked Song Gang to come to the Jiang family early in the morning to drive Jiang Yue and Yao Hua to the photography studio.

Yao Hua has calmed down today.

Jiang Yue noticed that Yao Hua had grown a lot and was becoming more and more mature in her actions.

Song Gang drove Yao Hua and Jiang Yue to the entrance of the photography studio and then left.

Jiang Yue greeted him and watched his car leave. Just as she was about to go inside with Yao Hua, she heard someone call her name.

Turning around, Jiang Yue and Yao Hua saw Xu Yao, who was accompanied by a man with an effeminate appearance.

The other person was wearing an expensive suit and looked very gentlemanly and polite.

"Jiang Yue, good morning, Yao Hua."

Xu Yao walked over with Lu Yinian and introduced him to them with a smile, "Jiang Yue, this is my good buddy Lu Yinian. He came all the way from Kyoto to visit me in City A. I brought him here today so he can see my work environment. Is that alright?"

Jiang Yue is the boss, so Xu Yao has to get her permission before bringing his people over.

Lu Yinian?

Last night, Xu Moxiang said that she was going to pick up Lu Yinian today.

Jiang Yue glanced at the man beside Xu Yao, subtly curling the corners of her lips into a polite smile. "Sure, you can bring your friends to tour the work environment, but you can't take the clothes you're wearing for the shoot with you."

"I understand."

Xu Yao was very grateful that Jiang Yue agreed to his request.

"Then let's go in."

Jiang Yue led Yao Hua ahead, glancing at Lu Yinian as she turned around.

This person should be the same person as Lu Yinian that Xu Moxiang mentioned.

Xu Moxiang once said that Lu Jingnian looked very much like the uncle she knew, and that uncle she was referring to should be Lu Yinian's adoptive father.

Xu Yao knew Lu Yinian and had probably met Lu Yinian's adoptive father, so he knew that Lu Jingnian and Lu Yinian's adoptive father looked very similar. However, Xu Yao did not tell them, but told Lu Yinian instead.

Then Lu Yinian learned about this and came to City A to see Lu Jingnian.

Just as Jiang Yue had figured out the key points, Xu Yao asked her, "Jiang Yue, why didn't your husband come to keep you company today?"

Lu Jingnian has been accompanying Jiang Yue for the past two days. Xu Yao had also subtly inquired with the staff and learned that Lu Jingnian would accompany Jiang Yue every day, which is why he specially brought Lu Yinian over today.

Jiang Yue smiled calmly and replied casually, "He has something to do today, so he won't be coming here."

"oh!"

Xu Yao nodded, glanced at Lu Yinian beside him, and then asked, "Will he come tomorrow?"

I have some questions I'd like to ask him.

Jiang Yue stopped and turned to look at Xu Yao. "What do you want to ask him?"

Xu Yao smiled and said, "It's nothing. Mr. Lu taught me a lot about photography yesterday. I thought about it last night and there are still a few things I don't understand, so I wanted to ask him for some more advice."

"He can take photos?"

Jiang Yue looked surprised, as if she herself had no idea that Lu Jingnian would take photos.

“I don’t know if he’ll be free to come tomorrow. If you have any questions, you can tell me, and I can ask him for you when I get back tonight.”

Lu Jingnian said he didn't want to investigate his background, but now that they've come to his door, Jiang Yue has no choice but to tell him.

But she didn't know what Lu Jingnian would choose tomorrow, so she wouldn't tell Xu Yao whether Lu Jingnian would come or not.
