"Okay, I'll go right away."
Seeing that she was getting angrier and angrier, the assistant took the opportunity to leave.
The cell phone rang.
Jiang Chuxia glanced at the caller ID and said calmly, "Hello, Mr. Lu, is there anyone?"
These days, Jiang Yunshu hasn't made any further moves, so he must have given up his suspicions.
She had constant resources and shot for several magazines. Those people praised her and she heard nothing but compliments every day.
Unconsciously, her mentality became a little floating, and even Lu Shiyan was not taken seriously by her.
Lu Shiyan held the photo that his subordinate had just handed over to him and said in a cold voice, "Has anyone entered your room these days?"
"No."
Jiang Chuxia said truthfully, "I installed surveillance, and my phone has never received any abnormal alerts."
"Sure?"
"Very sure!"
Jiang Chuxia was somewhat helpless, "Mr. Lu, don't be so suspicious. If there really is such a thing, can I still record the show here?"
So many days had passed without any change, and she thought Jiang Yunshu had given up his suspicions.
Lu Shiyan sneered, "Jiang Yunshu went to see Nanzhi this afternoon!"
What he was holding in his hand was a photo of Jiang Yunshu getting on and off the car in the underground garage of Lijingyuan.
Jiang Chuxia was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "Where's the Queen? Did Ruan Nanzhi go back to Yuncheng with her?"
"No."
It was also because of this that Lu Shiyan was not sure.
Hearing this, Jiang Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief and became more confident. "That's it, isn't it? If Ruan Nanzhi was really her daughter, would she not live in the big villa? Jiang Yunshu probably just went to her to get a custom dress."
"Are you sure?"
Jiang Chuxia frowned, "Are you doubting that the mother and daughter have recognized each other?"
"Shouldn't I be suspicious?"
Lu Shiyan's attitude was icy. "For tomorrow's celebration banquet, you'd better go back to Jingcheng and find out why Jiang Yunshu went to Lijingyuan."
"You're being too paranoid... I just called her this morning, and she's fine. I don't want to go back to Jingcheng for the time being."
Jiang Chuxia has been feeling nothing but flattery these days. If Jiang Yunshu already knew the truth, how could she allow herself to continue using her resources?
Rather than confirming Lu Shiyanzi's groundless speculation, having more screen time in variety shows is more important to her at the moment.
Lu Shiyan's face was sinister, his eyes darkened, and he smiled, "Okay."
"Then I'll say one last thing,"
Lu Shiyan pulled the yellowed photo out of his diary, stroking it gently, and warned in a cold tone, "From today on, don't contact me again. You've never known me, understand?"
"Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be."
Without waiting for Jiang Chuxia to say anything, Lu Shiyan hung up the phone.
This idiot.
At this point, no matter whether Jiang Yunshu has figured out Nanzhi's identity or not, Jiang Chuxia is no longer of much use to him.
If you keep pushing it this far, sooner or later you'll end up with something fishy.
He picked up the remote and closed the curtains, then retreated into the shadows. He dialed a number that wasn't in his address book, "Old K's flight is landing tonight, right?"
"Yes, Boss."
The voice on the other end was very respectful, "Old K boarded the plane this morning. I took them to the airport."
"knew."
Lu Shiyan responded calmly, a look of determination and danger in his eyes, and asked again, "I did it for you, how is it going?"
"Don't worry, everyone will probably know about it tomorrow."
…
The next day, when I woke up, the alarm clock hadn't rung yet.
As soon as I stepped out of the door, the doorbell rang. It was Jiang Lai.
I felt a little helpless. "Don't you have fingerprints? Why don't you just come in?"
“This isn’t…”
Jiang Lai glanced towards the master bedroom with an ambiguous look, "I'm afraid of disturbing you and your man."
"What are you doing? He's not here."
I explained and then asked, "Why are you here so early?"
Zhou Fang didn't return to Lijingyuan last night. He just sent me a WeChat message saying that something happened at the Zhou family and needed urgent attention.
He didn't tell me what it was specifically.
Jiang Lai then remembered Zheng Xian and hurriedly asked me, "Is the WeChat message you sent me real or fake?"
"I drank too much last night, and when I groggily opened my eyes this morning and looked at my phone, I was startled awake!"
"On the way here, I kept looking at that WeChat message over and over, worried I was dreaming or seeing things."
"Teacher Jiang is really your biological mother?"
Her words came out like a cannonball. Facing her extremely shocked expression, I nodded and pointed to the jade pendant on my neck. "Yes, look, my jade pendant is back."
"Yesterday's ginger...my mom brought it over."
I haven't fully adapted to my relationship with Jiang Yunshu yet, and sometimes I still think of her name out of habit.
I pulled her over to the sofa and sat down, then leaned back. "Don't even mention you. I feel like I'm dreaming right now."
After returning home, everything went surprisingly smoothly.
It felt like I hadn’t just been abroad, but had been reborn. Now I was facing a life that was completely opposite to the past.
The happiness seems fake.
A good lover, friends, a thriving career, a superstar who is the focus of everyone's attention, and my mother.
Jiang Lai took a long time to finally accept this. "If you ask me, this is what it means to have bitterness before sweetness. You had such a hard time before, and now even God is making it up to you."
"Thank you for your good words!"
I breathed a sigh of relief. "Professor Qin's assistant also sent me a message. Grandma is recovering faster than expected. She will be ready to be discharged from the hospital in the next few days."
"Isn't this good? Why do you seem to be lacking interest?"
“It’s because it’s good, so good.”
I smiled and said, "It makes me a little worried that I might end up in tragedy."
Perhaps I have never been an optimist.
I have been accustomed to gaining and losing since I was a child. Once I start to gain, I will have unnecessary concerns.
Jiang Lai had a much better attitude than me on this point. She poked my forehead and said, "There's no need to exhaust yourself over something that hasn't happened yet."
"you're right."
I nodded and felt that I should adjust my mindset.
The uneasiness in my heart did not dissipate because of this.
Fortunately, Sister Jing came to pick me up after a while and successfully diverted my attention.
Jiang Lai was about to tidy me up when Sister Jing smiled and said, "It's too early now, no need to rush. Your mother asked me to arrange an appointment with a stylist for you. They will come to Yuncheng this afternoon to do your makeup and hair."
I was shocked, "No... there's no need to go through so much trouble..."
"Yes."
Sister Jing chuckled. "Besides, this isn't a big deal. This is how your mother lives her daily life. So, you don't need to feel any burden because of this."
I couldn't be shy anymore, so I just said, "Okay, thank you, Sister Jing."
Before leaving, Sister Jing knew that Jiang Lai was my best friend, so she wanted to invite Jiang Lai to go to Yuncheng together and attend the dinner.
Jiang Lai shook his head and quickly refused, "I won't go."
I looked at her, thinking she was embarrassed, "Why? Lai Lai, come with me..."
"My best friend's most important moment is when I'm there."
Jiang Lai interrupted with a raised lip, and said mysteriously: "But, I have other plans."
Suddenly, an idea struck me, and I guessed, "You want to go with Mr. Chi, right?"
The Chi family is also one of the famous families in Jingcheng, and Chi Zhan will receive an invitation letter.
Jiang Lai avoided answering and quickly pushed me out the door, "Stop wasting time and go see Teacher Jiang!"
On the way to Yuncheng, I saw that the WeChat dialog box with Zhou Fang was still stuck on last night's chat content, and I couldn't help but send him a WeChat message.
[Have you had breakfast? How is your mood going?]
No reply.
I was really worried and was about to call him again when a news item popped up.
Zhou Group's M398 chip, launched two months ago, infringes on its patents and has been sued by the patent holder, who demands an immediate cessation of the infringement. However, Zhou Group invested significant manpower and financial resources in developing this chip last year. A halt to production would mean a complete loss of capital and a potential disruption to its cash flow.
Ongoing projects were immediately paralyzed.
The stock price has been falling since the opening today, and investors are in a panic and complaining.
Jingyuan has been on the market for two months, but the other party has only just filed an appeal, just when Zhou Fang had just returned to Zhou Corporation.
The purpose is a bit too obvious.
My heart skipped a beat, and when I saw that Zhou Fang still hadn't replied to my WeChat message, I stopped making the call.
I shouldn't disturb him at this time.
Let him handle all the situations with peace of mind.
Leaving Yuncheng, Jiang Yunshu noticed that I was distracted. "Zhizhi, what's wrong? Did you see the news about Zhou?"
"Um."
I squeezed my palms, "Mom... I'm a little worried about him."
Zhou Fang hasn't established a firm foothold in Zhou Corporation yet. After this incident, I'm worried about what else Zhou Fang might do.
Jiang Yunshu pointed at my phone and asked, "Have you called him?"
"without……"
I pursed my lips gently and said, "I'm afraid of disturbing him."
With such a big event, he would most likely have endless meetings to attend, and he would wish he could split himself into two.
Jiang Yunshu smiled gently. "Then you have to call first to find out, right? If he's really busy, he probably doesn't have time to answer your call, so why bother? If he happens to have a little time to answer your call, wouldn't you feel relieved when you hear his voice? It's better than just imagining it here."
Hearing this, I suddenly felt relieved, "Then I'd better give him a call."
"Well, let's fight."
Jiang Yunshu smiled knowingly and patted my head, "Mom will go get you some bird's nest. It's almost done."
"Okay, thank you, Mom!"
I dialed Zhou Fang's number, and when I thought he probably didn't have time to answer, the call suddenly connected.
On the other end of the line, a man's slightly hoarse and tired voice came, "Aruan, do you miss me?"
Jiang Yunshu wasn't far away yet. Even though she couldn't hear me, my cheeks still felt hot. I quickly got back to the point, "Did you see the WeChat message I sent you? Are you okay?"
