Chapter 105 Arrival on the Island
Zhan Lintian's address was not hard to find; Wu Ming casually asked among his friends, and someone immediately told him.
The location is easy to find, but getting on is difficult.
The other party's residence is a fixed place and it's all public knowledge.
Mr. Zhan's home is located on one of the islands by the water in Montreal.
Wu Ming wanted to go, but he couldn't drive, and none of his other friends dared to help.
He didn't want his assistants to report his whereabouts to his older brother, so he didn't contact the family car or driver.
So he secretly called a Didi (ride-hailing service), only to find that it could only locate him in the vicinity.
After the ride-hailing vehicle exited the cross-river bridge, it took a road under the bridge to reach the entrance to the island's access road.
He wanted to locate the island, but the navigation software couldn't get him there.
As soon as the car reaches the entrance to the road under the bridge, the platform will notify the passengers that they have arrived at their destination.
Wu Ming urged the driver impatiently, "There's still some distance to go, keep going."
The driver was a middle-aged man with a kind face. He pointed ahead and said, "The platform is located here. You can't drive any further."
He further explained, "There's a forest area ahead; we're not allowed to go in."
Wu Ming's eyelids twitched, and he muttered, "They still won't let us in? In Mengcheng, who would dare to claim land?"
When he said this, his emotions included jealousy, resentment, and also some fear of Zhan Lintian.
Land in the heart of Montreal is so scarce that every inch is contested. My family’s old ancestral home is also a legacy left by our elders, and it’s located in a relatively remote area.
Although it's a bit far from the city center, it's quiet and avoids the risk of being forcibly demolished due to urban development. In any case, it's better than the remote land in several large areas near Montreal.
And this coastal archipelago...
Everyone says the Zhan family is powerful and wealthy, and Wu Ming finally has a real sense of that now.
From the island, you can see the cityscape across the river.
Wu Ming thought to himself, "Is Zhan Lintian involved in organized crime?"
Jiang Xia followed him, but he shouldn't get involved.
Seeing the young man's resentful expression and his refusal to get out of the car, the driver explained in a low voice, "Now everyone wants to live on an island. It's prestigious and a good place to retire and enjoy life. But back in the old days, before Mengcheng was developed, this place wasn't very valuable. The older generation wanted to live on flat land or on one of the other port islands. These islands were inconvenient to get to and from, and there was no development, so not many people lived there before."
“In the last century, when they talked about relocation, some people didn’t want to pay anything but just wanted to live here, and that’s how it’s been passed down from generation to generation. Now the government has designated it as urban protected forest land, calling it some kind of habitat. You can walk around the perimeter without any problem, but it’s difficult to get in.”
The driver shared what he knew, but didn't dare join in the indignant Wu Ming's complaints, lest he spoil his mood.
"Alright, young man, get out of the car. The platform has already said so."
Hurry up and close the order. He still has to go pick up the next one.
Wu Ming was unwilling to give up and gritted his teeth: "Wait a minute."
The driver exclaimed in surprise.
Wu Ming said, "I'll give you extra money."
The driver fell silent.
The night wind was bleak. He called Zhan Lintian and sent the message, and surprisingly, the other party hadn't blocked him.
Wu Ming cut to the chase: "Is the Yangtze River Gorge here? I'm on your island."
Zhan Lintian said, "You've come to see Jiang Xia?"
On the other end of the phone, Zhan Lintian didn't seem to care, but he did let Wu Ming come to the island.
The driver didn't move: "The fare is over."
Wu Ming looked at the driver: "Pay extra, let's go to the island."
Seeing the money and also out of curiosity about the island, the driver stepped on the gas and drove onto the road that encircles the island.
"Alright! Please sit down."
Upon entering, the lush trees on both sides almost completely shielded the bustling city of Mengcheng, making it feel like stepping into the original ecological environment of Mengcheng from many years ago.
He was about to tell Wu Ming that this place was really nice when he caught a glimpse of Wu Ming's jealous expression out of the corner of his eye, and quickly shut his mouth.
This time, the car was unable to drive into Zhan Lintian's house.
Wu Ming excitedly got out of the car at the entrance, intending to go straight in, but was stopped and had to register his information.
Wu Ming made a big scene tonight, and all his friends know about it. They are all wondering what deep-seated grudge Wu the Second Young Master has against President Zhan.
Naturally, this also reached Wu Zhou's ears.
When his assistant sent him a message, Wu Zhou squinted.
At this time, he and Jiang Xia had arrived at the outskirts of Mengcheng.
Jiang Xia was already awake, with a bamboo basket on his lap, and three puppies sleeping soundly inside.
He was stroking the puppy's fur and nose, and the puppy was whimpering.
Since Wu Zhou couldn't make a phone call, he sent a message to Wu Ming.
Wu Zhou: "What's wrong with you?"
Wu Ming: "I want Jiangxia."
Wu Zhou frowned and typed: "Are you a beggar begging for food? You think you can just take it if you want it?"
Wu Ming didn't dare to argue with his older brother, and explained, "Jiang Xia and Zhan Lintian have only known each other for a short time, and they don't really know each other. Besides, he studied in the UK for many years, and he might have had a lot of fun abroad. He's just fooling Jiang Xia..."
He couldn't wait downstairs at Jiangxia Company, so he waited outside Zhan Lintian's house.
Wu Zhou sneered and replied, "Hmph, he might be playing tricks, but you definitely are."
"How about I make a list of your ex-girlfriends and see how many of their surnames I'm missing?"
Wu Ming was so angry that his chest hurt: "Big brother, why aren't you on my side? I'm going to tell my sister-in-law later. We're family."
Upon seeing the words "sister-in-law," Wu Zhou decided not to argue with him and hung up the phone without replying.
At this moment, Jiang Xia looked up and whispered, "They seem hungry."
Wu Zhou checked the time: "We'll be home soon."
The three puppies were very well-behaved in the car.
Jiang Xia thought all three dogs had good personalities, but to his surprise, just a few minutes after arriving home, the puppy stretched out its front paws, pressed its paws on the ground, and stretched out its butt in a big yawn.
With a loud hoot, it started running around the room excitedly.
Every now and then, a dog would bump into my trouser leg.
Jiang Xia stood there helplessly, feeling as if there were dogs everywhere.
Wu Zhou hugged him from behind and nuzzled Jiang Xia's cheek: "We haven't named them yet."
Jiang Xia is a cultured man. Everyone says that a bad name is easy to keep, but he still can't help but think about it carefully.
He fed the puppies dog food first.
These puppies used to eat with the adults back in my hometown.
Jiangxia had originally planned to cook dog food, but it was getting late, so he had to give up.
Three small bowls were lined up in a row. Wu Zhou was half-squatting on the ground, carefully putting puppy food into the bowls according to the instructions.
Jiang Xia brought over some goat milk and squatted down next to Wu Zhou to soak the dog food.
The puppies rushed over with their tails twirling, and Jiang Xia couldn't catch three of them with both hands.
After catching two and releasing them, he caught the third one that was about to rush over to eat.
"Hey~" Jiang Xia caught the third one, and the other two were already close by. He was so excited that his feet slipped and he slid in place.
Jiang Xia was in a flurry of activity, but the chaotic scene ended with General Manager Wu holding one puppy in each hand and carrying the little yellow dog in his arms.
Wu Zhou asked softly, "Can't we eat yet?"
Jiang Xia patiently explained, "The puppy's teeth aren't good, it can't eat dog food... Hmm... It's very tiring for it to eat. Soak it for two minutes, and feed it to them when it's soft."
Wu Zhou nodded, indicating he had learned something.
After a while, the two men stood aside watching the three dogs eating with their heads down.
Jiang Xia chuckled. Ah, bringing all three puppies back at once was definitely the right choice.
He needs to buy some dog supplies tomorrow.
After the puppies had eaten and drunk their fill, Jiang Xia carried them into their kennel and put them to sleep.
And the two of them...
After washing up, Jiang Xia tidied her clothes in the master bedroom.
This house is much bigger than the place I used to rent. The master bedroom in my previous room had a water heater in the bathroom.
You can shower in the public restroom, but the water is never hot.
So Wu Zhou washed up in the bathroom outside.
A short while later, Wu Zhou came and knocked on the door.
Jiang Xia paused, opened the door, and stood in the doorway looking at him.
Wu Zhou was wearing pajamas, but his hair was still wet. He said in a low voice, "There's only one hairdryer at home, which is in the bedside table drawer in the master bedroom."
Wu Zhou lowered his head and looked at Jiang Xia: "May I come in and have my hair dried?"
Jiang Xia looked into his eyes and finally nodded hesitantly.
After Wu Zhou finished drying his hair, he didn't leave.
Jiang Xia noticed that his hair was still a little damp and offered a few words of advice, but the other person didn't seem to understand.
All he could think about was sleeping with Jiangxia again tonight.
Finally, Jiang Xia took the hairdryer and dried him off again before it was over.
Jiang Xia lowered her eyes and said seriously, "Sleeping with wet hair at night will cause the moisture to draw heat away from your head, making it easy to have a headache the next day."
Wu Zhou thanked him in a low voice.
"Okay, thank you..." Wu Zhou paused, then lowered his voice, "Thank you, darling."
A note from the author:
President Zhan wished Wu Ming would come over.
LeBron James: The assist is here. (Waiting all night)
Jiangxia will receive the news sooner or later the next day.
Jiang Xia: Wu Ming, how dare you hit him! [Angry]
Jiang Xia was closer to Wu Zhou because Wu Zhou took advantage of Jiang Xia applying medicine and gave her some, during which time Jiang Xia was relatively sober.
That time, Wu Zhou even let him touch his stomach to see if it was bulging.
Jiang Xia felt he couldn't just hide; he had to take responsibility.
But General Zhan didn't... meaning Jiang Xia didn't have any substantial memories.
So, after Mr. Zhan enjoys his wife's company in broad daylight for the second time, he can openly be close to her.
Mr. Zhan: I followed you with a completely innocent heart.
Don't let Zhan's lack of fancy moves fool you; he's the most aggressive when it comes to pounding the ground. He has a powerful waist and is designed to make Jiang Xia lose control and scream in rhythm with him. [Facepalm peeking]
I'll probably write about Mr. Zhan's second meal tomorrow night.
