Chapter 18 Another Feud
The Jiang family has also had a tough week. The head of the Jiang family has no idea which financial power he has offended, and several news stories that are unfavorable to their group have suddenly broken out both overseas and domestically.
As soon as the stock market opened, their stock prices plummeted. Meanwhile, an unknown force was eroding the retail investors in the market.
He tried every means to suppress the negative news at home, but he couldn't take care of the major losses abroad for the time being, nor could he make up for them.
To make matters worse, his son, for reasons unknown, was kidnapped in broad daylight and tortured for a whole day.
When it was returned, it was in a terrible state.
They reported it to the police, but surprisingly, they couldn't find any useful clues.
The head of the Jiang family was busy shuttling between the company and the hospital, and in just a few days he lost twenty pounds.
In just one week, half of the group's market value evaporated out of thin air, plunging the entire Jiang family into a state of gloom and despair.
Their status also plummeted, falling to the bottom of the ranks of noble families, even worse than the Su family.
Su Ruan has been living a very leisurely life lately. She doesn't know why Jiang Siyan and Su Xin haven't bothered her recently, and her little husband has also been trained to be very obedient.
In a good mood, he lowered his guard against Gu Jinyuan when he got home that evening.
While she was taking a bath, a man harboring deep resentment quietly entered and whispered that he would serve her a bath and massage her shoulders and back.
Su Ruan hummed in agreement and continued soaking in the bath while listening to music.
Just as she was getting comfortable and about to doze off, the two large hands on her body gradually became dissatisfied with just touching her shoulders and neck, and began to move further and further forward.
Su Ruan finally realized something was wrong, and her eyes widened suddenly. "You..."
She had barely uttered a single word when the man's arm wrapped around her from behind, lifting her up and placing her under the showerhead.
Hot water poured over her head, forcing her to swallow all her refusals.
—Hidden content that people don't want to see—
The temperature in the bathroom kept rising, and Su Ruan's scalp tingled. She couldn't tell whether she had grabbed him or he had grabbed her first.
On this evening when things had spiraled out of control, she should have refused to stop.
After all, she hadn't figured out how to face him in the future.
Su Ruan's mind was a blur, but the pain brought her a moment of clarity. She suddenly grabbed his hair and cursed, "Mad dog!"
The man ignored her completely, as if he were deaf, and disregarded her attempts to refuse him.
A phone call, like a flash of lightning in the dark night, pierced the ambiguous night sky and rescued the bewildered Su Ruan.
She didn't know where the strength came from, but she pushed the man away, put on a bathrobe, picked up the phone, and fled the bathroom.
Seeing the fat meat that was right in front of him fly away, Gu Jinyuan's face turned quite ugly.
He remained silent for a moment before chasing after her, only to see Su Ruan's back as she closed the door and left.
His phone vibrated, and he picked it up and glanced at it.
My best friend needs me urgently, don't wait for me, you go to sleep first.
Gu Jinyuan's forehead veins throbbed, and his phone creaked as he gripped it tightly.
Having barely suppressed his anger, he pulled up the secret file again, jabbing the screen with his fingertips as if he were about to shatter it.
[Case number 306 of the Song family's crimes: Song Feiwan's crimes are added again. How dare this damned woman? Calling someone away when my wife and I are being intimate? She's a sinner, a sinner who interfered with my wife and me being affectionate.]
I hate her so much!!! I want to twist her head off....
Su Ruan felt a great sense of relief after going out to meet Song Feiwan.
I had no idea that the raging beast in my house was in a frenzied state, wanting to bite people to death.
She and Song Feiwan went to a coffee shop in a shopping mall and sat down to chat.
"Why did you contact me today? Didn't you say you were very busy lately?" Su Ruan asked first.
"Yes, the company has been very busy lately. It's always one subsidiary having problems, another subsidiary having problems. I'm constantly busy here and there, I'm simply overwhelmed."
However, everything has been mostly resolved in the past week, so it's a rare opportunity to relax and hang out with you today.
"Hey, by the way, is your boyfriend out in public lately? Let's grab a bite to eat." Song Feiwan had been wanting to meet her best friend's husband to check on him.
Su Ruan didn't really want them to meet. She was afraid that her best friend would discover Gu Jinyuan's hidden flaws and make a bad impression on him.
She should train him for a few more days before releasing him!
“He’s injured again recently, let’s talk about it later,” Su Ruan offered a reason.
"How did he get injured again? Didn't you say he was strong and had great stamina? Why do I feel like he's a weak scholar who can't even kill a chicken?" Song Feiwan frowned.
"Even if it was me... I'm the one who hurt him, don't ask anymore," Su Ruan said dismissively.
"You hurt him? He's so strong, how could you hurt him?" After asking, Song Feiwan suddenly thought of a possibility. She exaggeratedly said "Oh" and winked at her best friend.
"My darling, you're amazing! You actually managed to hurt a man. My admiration for you is like the Yellow River, flowing endlessly."
"What?!" Su Ruan was no longer the innocent and pure blank sheet of paper she used to be. She instantly understood what her best friend meant and blushed deeply.
She stepped forward and lightly grabbed Song Feiwan's neck, trying to explain.
"It's not what you think. You big yellow girl, your brain is full of nonsense all day long."
Song Feiwan didn't care about Su Ruan's strength at all, and laughed extremely wildly, which made Su Ruan so angry that she sat back down and ignored her.
Seeing that the person was really angry, Song Feiwan sat down and started to coax them.
"Oh, so what if it's big? You're a married woman anyway. Isn't it natural for husbands and wives to do that kind of thing? What's there to be ashamed of?"
Instead of comforting her, Su Ruan felt even more compelled to buy a block of tofu and smash her head against it to prove her innocence.
Seeing her best friend's ashamed and indignant expression, Song Feiwan secretly approached and suddenly pulled open her collar to take a look.
Tsk tsk tsk...
"Still trying to deny it? Every mark on your body is mocking your insincerity. You brat, you've been living the high life lately, haven't you? It's rare that you still remember you have a best friend like me and deign to come out and hang out with me."
over!
This was completely impossible to explain, so Su Ruan decided to stop going around in circles on the issue and change the subject.
"Stop talking about me, let's talk about you. Hasn't your company been on the right track for years? Why are you suddenly having so many problems lately?"
Upon hearing this topic, Song Feiwan also became serious and irritable, scratching her head in frustration.
"I don't know. I've been having this feeling lately that there's some unseen force targeting our Song family, but it doesn't seem like it's going to kill us. It's more like a cat playing with a mouse."
They're toying with our Song family. One moment we're being targeted to the point of near death, and the next moment the pressure just vanishes. I'm completely confused now; I don't know what they're trying to do, and it's really frustrating.
