Chapter 92: Terrible Speculations
He Yanting extended his hand.
Jiang Xu hesitated for a moment and handed him his hand.
He led her out of the bedroom and stood in the middle of the living room.
"This is where my family used to live. I bought it five years ago and redecorated it according to my memory."
After saying that, he squeezed Jiang Xu's hand and said, "This is a part of my past."
Jiang Xu frowned. It seemed there was another part, but she didn't ask any more questions.
He Yanting took her away from Xiting.
On the way, He Yanting said that the person who kidnapped her was Wu Haoxin, who had been caught and there would be no more trouble in the future.
After returning home, Jiang Xu took a bath.
He Yanting said that her wrist was injured and she couldn't touch water, so he wanted to help her wash, but she kicked him out of the bathroom.
After taking a shower, He Yanting was talking on the phone.
"I'm going to the company, can you stay home alone?"
He walked over and looked down along the collar of her pajamas, his eyes darkening slightly.
Jiang Xu straightened his collar: "Okay."
"Well, I'll be back early in the evening."
He Yanting ignored her resistance, hugged her in his arms and kissed her.
Jiang Xu was still a little frightened and lay in bed all day. He only got up to study after it got dark.
He Yanting came back with dinner.
After dinner, Jiang Xu went to the study to study. When she returned to the bedroom, she saw He Yanting sitting by the bed reading a book called Encyclopedia of Pregnancy.
He must have just taken a shower, with half-dry hair draped over his forehead, giving him a very refreshing youthful look.
He was wearing a loose black silk nightgown, revealing his large chest muscles, and gauze could be seen tied around his right shoulder.
"How is your injury?"
Jiang Xu's eyes moved away from his attractive chest muscles.
He Yanting said: "It's okay, nothing serious. The doctor said he will recover in a week or two."
Jiang Xu didn't say anything else, lifted the quilt and lay down.
"Soft."
He Yanting said from behind her, "Can I sleep on the bed tonight? It hurts a bit to sleep on the floor with my injury."
Jiang Xu pursed her lips.
Although he was injured for her, she was also kidnapped because of He Yanting.
Logically speaking, neither owes the other anything.
but……
"Just this one night."
He Yanting seemed to be afraid that she would change her mind, so he immediately got on the bed with the quilt and lay down next to her.
After a while.
There was an extra hand on Jiang Xu's waist, which gently embraced her and brought her into a broad embrace.
In fact, Jiang Xu knew it, but he endured it for the time being.
The next day, no matter how He Yanting acted pitifully, Jiang Xu refused to let him go to bed.
For more than half a month thereafter, everything was calm.
The fetus in the belly is growing vigorously and the fetal movements are becoming more frequent. Jiang Xu stands sideways in front of the mirror, and the bulge of her lower abdomen is already very obvious.
Suddenly someone hugged me from behind.
He Yanting's hand covered her lower abdomen and he gently bit her ear: "I dreamed last night that the child called me daddy."
Jiang Xu ignored him.
After he went to work, Jiang Xu came to the study and opened the locked drawer.
Inside was a passport, which she had asked her classmates to help her apply for. She had almost chosen a university.
Just one more chance and I can leave completely.
only……
She lowered her head and touched her belly.
Take it away?
Jiang Xu often went to Xia Yulin to chat. When she was with her mother, she could always turn into that carefree little girl in an instant.
On the way back that day, because of traffic jam, the driver took another route.
I just happened to pass by a familiar place.
It was the construction site where she jumped off the building in her previous life.
She remembered that at this time in her previous life, the building was already half built, but the construction site in front of her was only the foundation, and there was no sign of construction inside.
“Has this construction site been stopped?”
Jiang Xu asked casually.
The driver said he wasn't sure.
After returning home, Jiang Xu checked the situation of the construction site online, and surprisingly, the words Shengyu Group popped up on the webpage.
Shengyu Group's acquisition of the real estate project at a high price has sparked heated discussions in the market. Is there something else going on?
The news said that Shengyu Group's acquisition price was very unreasonable and might even result in a loss of nearly 10 billion yuan. Internal senior management also quarreled over this matter.
Jiang Xu felt strange.
Such a big thing must have been handled by He Yanting.
But He Yanting never does business at a loss, so why would he be so stubborn and insist on acquiring this project?
An uneasy thought was surging in my heart.
This weekend, Jiang Xu and He Yanting returned to the He family's old house.
Jiang Xu deliberately picked a loose skirt to cover her slightly obvious belly.
Old Mrs. He was as kind as ever and gave her the delicious food she had collected.
Jiang Xu has passed the stage of severe morning sickness and her appetite has improved a lot, which makes the old lady very happy.
At this time, Mr. He came back from tending to the flowers and plants, and when he saw He Yanting, his face looked a little bad.
"Yanting, come to the study."
He Yanting was checking Jiang Xu's food. He glanced at Old Man He, then stood up and followed him.
Old Mrs. He sighed.
Jiang Xu asked, "What's wrong? Grandpa doesn't look happy."
Old Madam He said, "It's still that Longbo real estate project. I don't know what went wrong with Yan Ting. He bought this project for nearly double the price. It's basically a loss-making deal."
"Not only did he buy it, but he also wanted to demolish the half-built building, saying he didn't want to build more buildings."
The old lady was so anxious that she slapped her thighs.
"You said that it's such a prime location in the city center, why don't you build a building? Why would you just waste tens of billions of dollars like that?"
Jiang Xu quickly picked up the teacup: "Don't worry, grandma, drink some tea."
Mrs. He took a sip of tea and waved her hand: "Forget it, he's grown too powerful. I can't control him anymore."
Then she stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to see how the soup is cooking."
After watching his grandmother leave, Jiang Xu got up and went to the study.
The door of the study was closed. Jiang Xu put his ear to the door but could not hear anything.
At this moment, the study door suddenly opened.
It was too late for her to run.
Then, He Yanting's voice came from the crack of the door: "Grandpa, you've retired. You should just enjoy your retirement. You don't have to worry about the group's affairs."
Mr. He said angrily, "You are messing around with that Longbo project. I will not agree to it no matter what!"
"hehe."
He Yanting smiled indifferently, "It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. I have the final say in Shengyu Group now."
“You, you…”
The old man was so angry that he couldn't breathe.
Jiang Xu hurriedly pushed the door open and patted Mr. He's chest: "Grandpa, calm down."
He quickly poured tea for Mr. He.
Old Master He took a sip of tea, recovered a little, and pointed at He Yanting with a trembling voice: "You unfilial son, what's wrong with you!"
There was no emotion in He Yanting's eyes.
Just as he was about to say something, Jiang Xu glared at him.
He made an embarrassed expression, opened the door and left.
Jiang Xu waited until Mr. He calmed down before walking out of the study. As soon as he reached the corner, He Yanting, who was waiting there, grabbed him into his arms.
"So filial? And you're glaring at me."
He bent down to kiss her.
Jiang Xu raised his eyes, "He Yanting, come with me, I have something to ask you."
She turned and walked towards the greenhouse, with He Yanting following behind.
Jiang Xu stopped in front of the glass wall covered with roses, his mind in a mess, not knowing where to start.
Ever since she learned that He Yanting bought the real estate project of Longbo, a guess came to her mind.
But this speculation is too terrible and too unbelievable.
She kept it in her heart and tried to ignore it.
But judging by He Yanting's attitude and the reactions of those around him, this doesn't make sense at all, unless...
"What do you want to ask me?"
He Yanting put his hands in his pockets and stopped a few steps away from her.
Jiang Xu turned around, and the sunlight shone through the glass wall behind her, through layers of branches and vines, falling on her. Her pupils trembled slightly.
"I want to ask why you bought the Longbo project."
He Yanting did not answer immediately.
His dark eyes stared straight at her, so deep that it made Jiang Xu feel inexplicably cold.
"Soft."
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he took a step forward and stretched out his hand to hug her.
Jiang Xu quickly stepped back.
Her body began to tremble, her face turned pale, and her breathing became difficult.
He didn't answer, but for some reason, Jiang Xu got the answer from his eyes.
An answer that has been ignored for a long time.
