Chapter 105 Another Departure Without Saying Goodbye
"Fifty thousand? How come your dignified young master of the Lu family is only worth fifty thousand?" Jiang Ruzhen sneered.
Upon hearing Jiang Ruzhen's words, Wu De concluded that she was a gold digger who only cared about money. "How much money do you want?"
Jiang Ruzhen made an outrageous demand, saying, "Give me one million and we'll talk."
She turned to leave, but Wu De quickly stopped her. "Ms. Jiang, the price you've proposed is outrageous. Please give me a more realistic figure."
Jiang Ruzhen sneered repeatedly, looking at Wu De with a mocking tone, "Such a large Lu Group, surely it doesn't even have a mere one million?"
"Then why are you all acting so high and mighty in front of me? If I married into the Lu family, I'd get much more than a million."
Wu De felt that Jiang Ruzhen was too greedy, and his tone became increasingly impolite.
“Ms. Jiang, who do you think you are? You’re just a country woman from a small fishing village. You have four children who are not yet married or established in their careers. Fifty thousand is not a small amount for you.”
"And what are you then? A dog that President Bai keeps? You've already barked at me before your master has even said anything?"
Jiang Ruzhen retorted without holding back, and Wu De's face turned from green to purple, then purple to black, changing unpredictably.
He stared at Jiang Ruzhen for a long time before finally revealing his true colors.
"Mr. Bai said it's a maximum of 100,000. Once you take the money, stay far away from the young master. Don't let him see you again!"
"Then I'm sorry. Lu Mingzheng has legs; if he wants to see me, I can't avoid him. Unless you put a dog leash on him!"
"How dare you be disrespectful to the young master!" Wu De shouted sternly.
Jiang Ruzhen chuckled coldly twice, "You've been a dog for too long, you can't even stand up straight anymore. I don't want to talk to a lackey like you. If you want me to leave Lu Mingzheng, fine."
"Have Lu Mingzheng personally bring the money to talk to me."
"So that's what you were planning," Wu De sneered. "Give up. The young master has already come to his senses after he went back yesterday. He promised President Bai that he would never come to see you again."
Jiang Ruzhen was skeptical of Wu De's words; Lu Mingzheng didn't seem like a mama's boy at all!
But then she remembered that Lu Mingzheng had told her before that his mother rarely cared about him when he was a child.
Is it because we started taking care of him now that he's found maternal love again?
Otherwise, why didn't he come back to see her last night?
He has never broken his promise to her.
"Alright, as long as he doesn't come looking for me, I promise I won't go looking for him again. You should hurry back and report to your master! I won't see you off!"
Jiang Ruzhen turned and left, returning to her ward. The second son asked her who had been looking for her.
Jiang Ruzhen said dismissively, "It's just a mad dog, don't worry about it."
After the three finished eating, Jiang Ruzhen wanted to find something to do, but Mei Ling flitted around in front of her like a butterfly, taking excellent care of the second son and even doing all the chores in the room.
She was so bored that she had no choice but to go to the mall to buy things to pass the time.
If it weren't for waiting for Mei Ling's parents to arrive, she would have returned to Liancheng long ago.
But as the days went by without any news from Lu Mingzheng, Jiang Ruzhen's heart sank lower and lower.
Four days later, Mei Ling's parents rushed to the hospital in the evening.
Upon seeing Mei Ling, the two embraced her and wept uncontrollably.
Seeing the strange looks from those around them, Mei Ling quickly pulled the two back into the ward and chattered on about what had happened.
The parents looked at each other in bewilderment.
I never expected that my little princess, whom I've pampered since she was a child and cherished like a precious jewel, would actually follow me for thousands of miles for a man. Not only did she come all the way to Hangzhou, but she was also bold enough to confront those hooligans face to face.
Is this still the timid girl they knew?
Is the magic of love really that great?
It can change a person beyond recognition.
In fact, the two of them knew about this person ever since the girl was saved by Shen Zhuoyi.
Every day when the girl came home, she would tell them how good, kind and hardworking this young man was.
They initially thought it sounded good, and the couple even considered having him become their son-in-law.
But later they heard that the boy had a good relationship with his family and that his mother valued him very much, so they gave up on the idea.
Later, I heard Mei Ling complain about how fierce Jiang Ruzhen was after she got home, and how she tried to break up Mei Ling and Shen Zhuoyi.
The couple were somewhat pleased with the outcome, hoping that the girl would give up on this idea and find another son-in-law who could live with them.
Otherwise, what will happen to all the wealth the family has accumulated?
But after they learned the whole story, they were actually afraid to face Jiang Ruzhen.
Their daughter was just too eager, which put them in a very passive position.
Especially for businessmen like Mei Zhe who frequently socialize in society, they felt they had lost all face and dignity.
However, he doted on his only daughter too much and dared not scold her loudly. He could only take his wife and grit his teeth to see Jiang Ruzhen.
Unexpectedly, they were all so shocked when they saw Jiang Ruzhen that they were speechless for a long time.
Is this the same old country woman with a ferocious face, a body full of fat, and a vulgar and rude way of speaking that her daughter described?
This is clearly a college student who has just entered the workforce!
Shen Zhuoyi's mother looks so young. Mei Ling's mother warmly took Jiang Ruzhen's hand.
"Girl, how do you maintain your youthful appearance? You look so young and beautiful."
"I haven't done much skincare, I have a good foundation," Jiang Ruzhen replied with a forced smile.
She had a bad impression of Mei Ling, and consequently, she didn't have a good impression of her parents either, feeling that the daughter they raised was an idiot.
"Now that you're all here, I'm handing Mei Ling over to you safe and sound. In the future, keep a close eye on her and make sure she doesn't just run off with anyone."
"Thank goodness we met my son. What would you have done if we'd run into bad people?"
Mei Zhe and his wife nodded repeatedly, acknowledging that they had neglected their parenting.
But Jiang Ruzhen changed the subject, "But Mei Ling is a very brave girl, and I admire her spirit of not being afraid of evil forces."
She didn't abandon my son at that crucial moment, but chose to help him. Although my son still bore the consequences, I appreciate her kindness.
Mei Zhe and his wife were taken aback. They hadn't expected Jiang Ruzhen to think that way. Did she mean to grant their wish?
What will they do then?
After exchanging words for a while, each with their own thoughts, Mei Zhe and his wife took their daughter to the ward.
“Daughter, it’s not good for you to be so eager,” Mei Zhe advised.
Mei's mother also felt sorry for her daughter. Just now in Shen Zhuoyi's ward, Mei Ling's busy appearance made her feel particularly bad.
“Daughter, let’s go back to Liancheng. We’ve told everyone you’ve been visiting relatives in Hangzhou for long enough; it’s time for us to go back.”
Mei Ling shook her head firmly, "Mom and Dad, don't you always teach me to be grateful? Shen Zhuoyi has already saved me twice, I can't just abandon him."
Mei Zhe and his wife were at their wits' end. Their daughter was already so big, and they couldn't scold or hit her.
They had no choice but to ask Jiang Ruzhen for help, and Jiang Ruzhen was also thinking about transferring Shen Zhuoyi to another hospital.
Jiang Ruzhen had always insisted that her family drink spiritual spring water. Her usually healthy body showed even more obvious signs of injury.
Bone that might take others a month or even three months to heal, Shen Zhuoyi's bone was almost completely healed in just one week.
The doctor said they need to do another check-up tomorrow, but Jiang Ruzhen didn't dare let them do it. She was planning to take her second child to another hospital back to Liancheng.
Just then, the Mei family came to their door, and Jiang Ruzhen pretended to be very reluctant, but reluctantly agreed.
Mei Zhe beamed with joy as he busied himself helping Jiang Ruzhen with the transfer procedures. He even offered to pay a hefty fee to hire a hospital ambulance so that his second son could return to Liancheng comfortably.
Jiang Ruzhen, of course, did not refuse their kindness and made the decision.
Another night passed, and the ambulance set off early in the morning. Jiang Ruzhen packed slowly, trying to prolong the last bit of time.
Before leaving, she looked around again to make sure that person wasn't there, then she turned around nimbly, got into the car, and closed the door.
