Chapter 39 The Current Situation of the Jiang Family
A few days later, a bombshell announcement broke: the Jiang family had gone bankrupt.
To evade debt collectors, the Jiang couple fled abroad and have not been seen since.
When the news reached the Su family, Su Maoshi and Wen Ru were both taken aback.
"What happened? Su Ruan hasn't even married into the Jiang family yet, how could they have gone bankrupt?" Wen Ru looked at Su Maoshi in disbelief.
Su Maoshi paced back and forth in the living room with a solemn expression, muttering to himself.
"That shouldn't be the case. Back then, the master said with absolute certainty that Su Ruan had a tough fate and was destined to bring misfortune to her husband's family, but she hasn't even married yet!"
The Jiang family's sudden bankruptcy completely disrupted Su Maoshi's plans. He originally wanted to marry Su Ruan into the Jiang family so that after they were both killed by Su Ruan, he could rightfully take over all of the Jiang family's assets.
But now, everything has gone wrong; he hasn't gotten a single penny.
"No, I need to go see that master again."
Su Maoshi grabbed his coat and left in a hurry, while Wen Ru stayed at home, feeling uneasy.
Based on her woman's intuition, she had a feeling that the problem lay with Su Xin.
They secretly hid their biological daughter nearby, raising her in the same luxurious environment, and they even spent far more time with Su Xin than with Su Ruan.
When Su Ruan was a child, she went back to visit her, which made Su Xin cry and make a fuss out of jealousy.
Having no other choice, she told Su Xin about using Su Ruan to take the blame for her.
As her twenty-second birthday approached, Su Xin found it increasingly difficult to be alone outside, without the status of an upper-class socialite to flaunt her wealth and status.
He attempted suicide several times to force Wen Ru to return to a normal identity.
She couldn't compromise anymore, but ever since Su Xin returned, Su Ruan's personality has become increasingly unpredictable, and things have gone further and further off track.
If Su Maoshi confirms this with the master, he will definitely not let Su Xin off the hook, and it is very likely to affect her plan to inherit the family business.
Distracted, she texted Su Xin: "[My dear daughter, come back. Mom knows you like handsome guys. Mom has been collecting a lot of information lately.]"
[There are all kinds of women, plump and slender, you can come back now and pick any one to marry, and your dad will let you intern at his company.]
Don't get carried away and pin all your hopes on a man. With money, what kind of man can't you get?
......
Each message was sent out like a stone sinking into the sea.
Within the territory of the Eagle Alliance Kingdom.
The night was dark and gloomy, the darkness as black as ink.
From a dilapidated apartment on the outskirts of the city, intermittent moans of excitement could be heard.
The room was simply furnished, and an old iron bed creaked under the weight of the weight.
Through the dim light filtering through the curtains, two figures entangled on the bed could be vaguely seen.
The woman's face was flushed, and she clung tightly to the man on top of her. The man looked pained and was panting heavily, clearly exhausted.
Annoyed by the constant harassment, the man finally knocked Su Xin unconscious with a karate chop.
The man rolled over, panting heavily, and rested for a long time before getting up, putting on his clothes, and going out.
The next room.
Jiang's mother carefully helped Jiang Siyan with his washing and dressing. Seeing her son staring blankly at the ceiling, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
"Son, don't be sad. For the Jiang family to rise again, Su Xin getting pregnant is the fastest way."
Jiang Siyan remained silent, while his mother continued to comfort him.
"Anyway, she was violated by a lot of hooligans as soon as she arrived, and her body is not clean. Now she can only rely on our Jiang family."
The best way to make a woman devoted to you is to have her have a child. Even if she returns to her home country in the future, she will do everything in her power to help you.
Jiang Siyan looked somewhat tempted, his eyes darting around a few times.
Can we go back and start over?
When Jiang's mother saw him speak, she patted her chest happily and assured him, "Of course! Once Su Xin confirms her pregnancy, our whole family will go back in style."
"Announcing your marriage in public will allow you to naturally enter the Su family and take control of their group. With your abilities, expanding the group's business will be a piece of cake."
"Yes, I'm tired." Jiang Siyan slowly closed her eyes.
Jiang's mother immediately tucked him in and lay down on a makeshift bed made of wooden planks against the wall.
"Okay, you go to sleep. Mom is right here. Call me anytime if you need anything at night."
Jiang Siyan remained silent, the stench of decay lingering in his nostrils, while he listened to his mother's gradually calming breathing.
He was wide awake, opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling again, a ferocious madness gradually appearing on his face.
No one needed to persuade him; he didn't care who abused Su Xin. What he cared about was his own physical disability.
During his time abroad, he became certain that the broken part was beyond repair.
His legs were subjected to various treatments at the laboratory every day.
Electric shocks, bone setting, applying medicine, breaking it again and trying to set it again, tendon repair, and also taking all sorts of unknown liquid medicines.
Each time it burned his internal organs, tormenting him to the point that he wanted to die, but he was unwilling to give up!
He was once a noble young master from a prominent family in Beijing, and while he might not have been able to command a large following, he was certainly powerful and influential.
He was always surrounded by a group of sycophantic rich kids. Back then, he was full of pride and swaggered around the city.
I never imagined he would end up in such a state.
“Gu Jinyuan…” He chewed on this name every day to sustain his meager willpower; all the pain he suffered was thanks to him.
No matter how much money he spent or how many hitmen he hired to kill that person, he failed.
It must have been Su Ruan who hired people to protect him. Although Su Ruan doesn't have much power, her best friend, the Song family, is a top-tier family.
“Su Ruan…”
Thinking again of that name that had once haunted his dreams, Jiang Siyan murmured to himself, his face alternating between pain and sweetness, like a schizophrenic madman.
......
Brahma Palace.
With a resentful look in his eyes, Gu Jinyuan carried the small suitcase and saw Su Ruan off to the airport.
"Why won't you let me come along? I really don't want to find any biological father. I don't have any hobbies, my only hobby is serving you."
Su Ruan turned to look out the car window, inwardly cursing that this was the reason she had to escape, and she couldn't take this energetic guy with her.
Otherwise, how could she possibly recuperate from her kidney deficiency?
But the reason was too embarrassing to say, and she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Gu Jinyuan grumbled all the way, but Su Ruan didn't budge. When they arrived at the airport and saw the people who were traveling with them, he finally snapped.
"Why can Song Feiwan go with you, but I can't?"
Su Ruan slapped away Gu Jinyuan's angry arm, "Don't be foolish. Xiao Wan'er is going to take care of some important business. She just happens to be on the same flight as me."
Gu Jinyuan's face was full of anger, which he couldn't suppress.
He snorted coldly, pushed the small suitcase into Xiaoxue's hands, and turned to leave.
"Since you have someone to pick you up and drop you off, and you don't care if I go home alone, I'm going home."
Xiaoxue looked at the angry departing husband's back and asked blankly.
"Boss, is the boss's husband taking his anger out on me? Did I offend him?"
Su Ruan rubbed her temples helplessly. "It's nothing. He's just having his period recently, and he's having intermittent seizures."
Xiaoxue: "......" So men also have their period every month, how strange.
Seeing the scene from afar, Song Feiwan strolled over with a smug look on her face.
"Hey! Your pet's throwing a tantrum? Trying to bite its owner? You're just too nice. If it were me, I'd give it a good slap and it'd behave perfectly."
"Come on, he clearly doesn't like you," Su Ruan laughed.
"No way, this guy still holds a grudge? Is this man's heart even the size of an ant?" Song Feiwan scoffed.
I was hoping to finally see the real face of my best friend's husband today and find out what was going on.
Unexpectedly, they didn't even give her a chance to meet formally.
However, after taking a quick look at him from afar, she felt that the man seemed familiar, and a faint sense of familiarity lingered in her heart.
