After Jiang Tian finished speaking pitifully, she buried her head in his collar...
Seeing that she had said it, and in that tone, Chen Fenglie and Jiang Qing both sensed something subtly amiss.
It seems that something is not as I imagined.
Hearing her words, Zhou Yancheng was stunned for a few seconds. He first glanced expressionlessly at Chen Fenglie and Jiang Qing, then looked at the person nestled in his arms, somewhat amused and exasperated: "Just because of this?"
Jiang Tian nodded sullenly: "Yes...it was my fault. I couldn't resist and surrendered to temptation..."
Chen Fenglie frowned even more deeply.
He wasn't truly brainless; the fact that Jiang Tian dared to say these things to Zhou Yancheng with such confidence meant that his guess was flawed.
“It’s okay, I don’t mind—” Zhou Yancheng looked at Chen Fenglie and Jiang Qing, “Who told me to be the adulterer?”
In an instant, Chen Fenglie's expression changed completely, and Jiang Qing also looked embarrassed.
"Gentlemen, I said I wouldn't lend the jade pendant, and I won't. I don't need you racking your brains to spread rumors about my wife."
Zhou Yancheng patted Jiang Tian on the back and observed their expressions, enough for him to guess who had come up with that absurd conjecture.
He looked coldly at Chen Fenglie: "I'm glad you divorced Jiang Tian. Don't worry, we'll live a good life together."
Jiang Tian finally poked her head out and glanced at Chen Fenglie: "I know a lot about your despicable ways, but today I've only gotten a deeper look. I wish you could stay in this state of speculation while you're dating Jiang Qing."
Jiang Qing suddenly clenched her fists.
After saying that, the two ignored their expressions and Zhou Yancheng led Jiang Tian upstairs.
Back home, Jiang Tian changed into slippers and collapsed onto the sofa. She couldn't help but complain, "The beds at your company are so hard! My back and waist are aching... Sigh, men are ruining my life..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yancheng hung up his coat, had her lie on his lap, and gently massaged her with his large hands.
"I told you to come back, but you wouldn't listen. You insisted on making yourself suffer."
Jiang Tian let out a comfortable sigh: "Who told you to be there?"
She sighed, and Zhou Yancheng paused, scooped her up, kissed her, and then continued massaging her.
The movements were fluid and graceful.
Jiang Tian covered her mouth: "Kissing maniac..."
Zhou Yancheng raised an eyebrow, not denying it; he did want to kiss her all the time.
"But weren't you at the company? Why are you back?" Jiang Tian suddenly remembered this question as she was about to fall asleep.
Zhou Yancheng recounted what had happened that morning.
"As expected of Young Master Zhou, who endured hardship and bided his time."
He had given Jiang Tian a few hints last time, so it's not surprising that she could guess what he meant.
Zhou Yancheng looked at her and said, "I'll be busy in a few days, so you need to take good care of yourself."
Jiang Tian nodded: "Don't worry, I'm a homebody and don't go out much, so safety will definitely be my top priority."
Zhou Yancheng was not at ease.
This war was originally only related to him and the Zhou family, but it was wrong of him to involve Jiang Tian.
He had to be fully prepared in case the people over there acted desperately.
After Jiang Tian fell asleep, Zhou Yancheng dialed a number.
"It's me."
The voice on the other end sounded expectant: "Zhou, is there something you need?"
“I plan to move the plan forward. Zhou Chenglai has been enjoying his good days for too long; it’s time for him to pay the price.”
The other end quickly became serious: "Tell me your detailed plan..."
The two talked for a long time. After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yancheng's expression remained normal.
He turned and went into the kitchen, cooked a table of dishes for Jiang Tian, and then woke her up.
Life may seem peaceful on the surface, but only those who have experienced it know how many hidden dangers and ambushes lie beneath.
This time, Jiang Tian received a call from her father.
After failing twice, Jiang Qing had no choice but to tell her father about it and ask him to support her.
The younger daughter was a hundred times more important to Jiang's father than the older daughter, so he immediately called Jiang Tian.
“She is your sister. Since she needs your help, it is only right for you, as her older sister, to help her.”
While drawing the line art, Jiang Tian casually said, "Did she help me? What did she help me with? I have a bad memory, can you help me remember?"
Jiang's father got stuck.
Everyone in the Jiang family sees Jiang Tian as a burden; who would help someone destined to be a loser?
At this moment, he tasted the bitterness of regret, wishing he hadn't returned the jade pendant to Jiang Tian that day.
Just as he was about to lose control of his anger, Jiang Tian suddenly spoke up: "Actually, I can help her, but I have a few requests."
Upon hearing that she didn't refuse outright, Mr. Jiang's face softened: "Go ahead."
"First, return all the belongings my mother left me."
Father Jiang frowned: "What do you mean!"
“That’s something my mother left me. Your new wife has been married to you for over twenty years, and you still want to keep it. Isn’t that shameful? It’s just about returning it to its rightful owner. If you can’t do that, let’s talk about the jade pendant another day. I’m busy.”
"etc!"
Jiang's father couldn't give up because he thought about how amazing Jiang Qing's old friend was and how much help he could bring to her career.
The foreign country was a completely new world for him, and his daughter had finally managed to get in touch with him... Father Jiang had great ambitions.
As for the things left behind by his deceased wife...
As if guessing what he was thinking, the voice came from the other end of the phone again: "Before Mom left, she made a list of things she left for me and asked someone to keep them safe. If you're trying to fool me with inferior goods, then forget it."
Father Jiang's plan failed, and his eyes burned with anger.
But things are inanimate, but business is dynamic. According to Jiang Qing, that project was enough to elevate the Jiang family to a higher level, and Jiang's father didn't want to miss it from the bottom of his heart.
He took a deep breath and said, "Okay."
“Alright, then I’ll move on to my second request. I can lend the jade pendant to Jiang Qing, but I don’t trust her character. When her old friend wants to appraise it, Zhou Yancheng and I will both be present. Don’t worry, we won’t expose the truth that Jiang Qing isn’t the owner of the jade pendant; we’ll only be concerned with its safety.”
"You want to spy on her?" Father Jiang's voice suddenly rose.
"Yes, I don't trust her. You guys think it over. If you don't agree, that's fine too. I won't force you. It was a deal that was dispensable anyway."
Jiang Tian maintained a firm grip on the initiative, and for the first time, Jiang's father was at a disadvantage in front of his eldest daughter.
Now that things have come to this point, he can't possibly give up.
"I agree."
Jiang Tian smirked: "I'll go to the Jiang family tomorrow to collect my mother's belongings. I'll bring professionals to inspect them personally. I hope your wife will be more discreet and stop being a thief." With that, she hung up the phone.
Mr. Jiang was so angry at Jiang Tian's words that he trembled all over. Mrs. Jiang was startled by his expression: "What's wrong with you?"
"Pick up the jewelry you stole from Jiang Tian's mother's jewelry box. Jiang Tian can come and collect it tomorrow."
Mrs. Jiang's voice cracked instantly: "What!"
Chaos was raging at the Jiang family's place, while Jiang Tian was being comforted by Zhou Yancheng.
"I'm fine," Jiang Tian said with a smile.
Zhou Yancheng stared into her eyes: "Your expression doesn't say that."
