Chapter 266 Greedy Orphan Nanny VS Mentally Retarded Young Master 33
Not long after Jiang Zhiyi returned here, she learned that Jiang Shen was ill, and that it was a serious mental illness.
She didn't know anything about these things, so she went online to look up relevant information several times.
Delusions, depression, self-harm, suicide... many words terrified her.
To be honest, she was a little worried.
She didn't want anything to happen to him; she hoped he could live a good life.
But gradually, the name Jiang Shen faded from everyone's sight.
He was no longer seen in news related to the Jiang family. He never appeared in any reports, not even in those tabloids that loved to fabricate stories to grab attention.
Later, she couldn't help but try to find out more information about his illness, but she had no connections whatsoever.
They were from two different worlds, and once that connecting thread was broken, there was no way to contact him again.
A month ago, the tourism development project in Xiaoguo Village was suddenly halted.
They said that the young boss at the top, surnamed Jiang, suffered a depression attack and committed suicide, so the project was temporarily put on hold.
Jiang Zhiyi also had the contact information of some of the Jiang family's servants saved on her phone. Although they were all tight-lipped, she still managed to find out some information—there was indeed a funeral in the Jiang family during that period.
Besides Jiang Shen, she couldn't think of anyone else.
Long ago, Xiaoguo Village was scouted for development into a tourist resort. Of course, it wasn't just this small village; many surrounding areas were also awaiting development.
In short, this is a large-scale collaborative project, in which the Jiang family is also involved and is a major investor.
When she was with Jiang Shen, she saw relevant project materials on Jiang Shen's desk.
Jiang Shen even came to ask for her opinion at the time.
Jiang Zhiyi didn't understand any of this, and simply said that she didn't know anything and shouldn't ask her.
Then Jiang Shen told her that she could do whatever she wanted. He had invested a lot of money in it, and while he couldn't do anything reckless in other areas, it was perfectly fine for her to have that area of Xiaoguo Village to play with.
He built whatever she liked.
Jiang Shen also said that if things went according to his plan, he would build her a huge castle, and she would be the most beautiful princess in the castle.
Thinking about these things, Jiang Zhiyi sighed deeply.
Her eyes gradually reddened, and tears streamed down her face.
She reached out and wiped away her tears.
What should we do?
What should we do now?
Jiang Shen is dead.
He actually died...
She didn't want it to happen; she didn't want him to die, not at all. If only she hadn't done it that way; she should have used a more tactful approach.
Or perhaps, she shouldn't have left him at all...
Jiang Zhiyi's tears kept multiplying as she wiped them away.
Tears fell one by one, dripping onto the petals.
...
City B.
In the private room of the restaurant, the group took their seats.
Jiang Zhiyi is here today to meet an important guest.
When she left City A, she sold all her shares to Chen Huaiyu, so she still has some spare money.
Although Xiaoguo Village has a good environment, it is too remote and there is hardly any work to be done around there.
Jiang Zhiyi had previously thought that once the resort there was developed, it might bring many job opportunities, but now that development project has also been halted.
With so much time ahead, she can't just stay home and do nothing all day, so she still needs to find some ways to make money.
Xiaoguo Village is located near City B. Today's guest was introduced to her by Chen Huaiyu. This person used to work for a company in City A and was a very capable investment manager. Now he has returned to his hometown to start his own business.
He happened to have an investment project that was very suitable for Jiang Zhiyi.
Chen Huaiyu had already reviewed this person's project proposal and told her that she could rest assured that there shouldn't be any problems.
The conversation went very smoothly.
Jiang Zhiyi was quite satisfied.
This person is very approachable, easy-going, calm and generous. You can tell from his words and actions that he is indeed a very capable person.
After the meeting, Jiang Zhiyi left the restaurant, but she didn't seem to intend to go home.
It's about a three-hour drive back from City B. It's already quite late, so she plans to stay here for the night and go home tomorrow morning.
Jiang Zhiyi went directly to a five-star hotel in the city center.
She didn't originally intend to be so extravagant, as this was a time when she needed to save money. However, since she was staying in a different hotel, she was honestly not comfortable with the less desirable options. She preferred to spend a little more money for a safer and more comfortable stay.
After putting her things away in the room, Jiang Zhiyi went to the pedestrian street near the hotel.
She was holding a string of candied hawthorns in her hand, and the square over there was crowded and very lively.
She found a wooden chair by the roadside and sat down, watching the bustling street in front of her.
There were young couples arm in arm, looking like college students; elderly men and women walking slowly with canes; and families of three holding hands, the parents leading their child in the middle...
Jiang Shen had described such a scene to her before, but she had refuted it back then.
She said that when the baby can walk on his own, she will walk in the middle when the three of them go out, holding his hand with one hand and the baby's hand with the other.
She is the most precious one in the very center.
Jiang Zhiyi snapped out of her daze and took a big bite of the candied hawthorn.
The sugar coating melted in my mouth, and the sour taste of hawthorn slowly seeped out. So sour...
It doesn't taste good; it's too sour.
...
In the hotel's presidential suite.
Jiang Shen was sitting at his desk, resting with his eyes closed, looking exhausted.
"Is it done?" he asked.
The assistant nodded and said, "No problem, Miss Jiang has already signed it."
"Okay, you can go now." He rubbed his temples.
After a long while, Jiang Shen opened his eyes.
There are many ways to retain someone.
She didn't need his money, so he made her lack money.
She didn't care about his affection, so he used apologies, guilt, and a sense of indebtedness to bind her.
In short, he won't let her go.
Since she's disobedient, then he shouldn't blame her for using some underhanded tactics.
Jiang Shen opened the drawer next to the table, which contained many medicine bottles. He took out some pills for daily use.
The cool water carried the pill down my throat.
He slightly raised his hand, causing the sleeve of his black shirt to drop a little.
His exposed wrists were covered with scars of varying depths, one of which looked quite old, while the rest appeared to be fresh wounds.
