Jiang Rong was very satisfied with Qiao Zhaodi's speed.
Qiao Zhouyi and Qiao Yixiuan would never have imagined that this girl, who they thought was cowardly and incompetent, actually had such ability to collect so much evidence of her father's crimes, just waiting to fight them to the death one day.
She closed the webpage, stood up, stretched, opened the window and looked at the scenery outside. Although it was stormy and there was nothing to see, she was in a good mood.
022: [Don’t you care about Jiang Nian? ]
Why should I care about him? Jiang Rong was puzzled.
He was very angry when he left. 022 analyzed: Jiang Nian is a person who values relationships very much. Knowing that he has been deceived for the past five years, he will definitely go to the Jiang family and make a scene.
[Oh.] Jiang Rong twirled the pen in his hand. [What does that have to do with me?]
022: [He must be a heartbroken puppy at midnight, so sad. 】
Jiang Rong propped up his chin and spoke casually, "He's already sixteen years old. He has enough ability to distinguish right from wrong and should be able to process his emotions on his own. I can't stay by his side forever. He has to solve many problems on his own."
022 thought for a moment and said, "Is there a kind of love called letting go?"
[…You can understand it that way.]
Jiang Rong leaned back in his chair and said slowly, "Jiang Ci and I have different educational philosophies. He always wants to make all the decisions for others, plan their lives, and protect them under his wings forever. I believe in free-range parenting because I don't have his patience."
022 Confused: [But Jiang Ci doesn’t treat you like this. ]
Jiang Rong just smiled.
At this time, the door was opened and Song Yanzhen walked in, all wet. He said depressedly, "Why is it suddenly raining heavily when it's fine?"
He placed the things in his hand on the coffee table and said, "Here, the fried chicken you asked for."
Jiang Rong did not return to Bailu Manor.
No matter how thick-skinned she was, there was no way she could go back and get along with Shang Shaoheng as if nothing had happened after a bloody kiss... let's just call it a kiss.
Looking back on the situation at that time, Jiang Rong also felt that he was a bit impulsive.
She obviously had many other ways to make Shang Shaoheng shut up, but she chose the most deadly one.
Subconsciously touching the corner of his lips which still hurt a little, Jiang Rong pursed his lips and sat down on the sofa, starting to unpack the food Song Yanzhen brought back.
This is one of the many properties owned by Song Shao. The name of the community is well-known to the locals in Yancheng. When people mention this place, they usually use four words to describe it - every inch of land is worth a lot of money.
Song Yanzhen went to the bathroom to take a quick shower, changed his clothes, and came out to sit opposite Jiang Rong. "Actually, I wanted to go to your birthday party that day, but my dad said that it would easily lead to misunderstandings, so I didn't go."
Jiang Rong held a piece of fried chicken in his mouth and said "oh", not knowing whether he heard him or not.
Song Yanzhen opened the Coke for her and asked, "Did you come out this time because you had a conflict with your family?"
"I guess so." Jiang Rong said.
Song Yanzhen sighed: "Your family background is much worse than mine. Don't worry, you can live in this house as long as you want. I won't drive you away."
Jiang Rong raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then clinked his Coke can with his: "Thanks."
"You're welcome." Song Yanzhen said modestly, "I don't have anything else, but I have a lot of houses."
Jiang Rong: “…”
Song Yanzhen had a good sleep schedule and went to bed at ten o'clock. Jiang Rong sat in the empty living room, staring at the wall for a while, then took out his cell phone and made a call.
This time, the other party didn't hang up on her. He said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
"Why didn't you tell me that Jiang Nian had lost his memory?"
"Do I have any obligation to tell you?" Jiang Ci said calmly.
Jiang Rong said coldly: "You did it on purpose."
"I'm alone, so I'm the best in your eyes, right, brother?"
Jiang Ci was silent for a while before he said, "Are you angry?"
"Shouldn't I be angry?"
"The day you left Yancheng, Jiang Nian chased your car for a long distance. A drunk driver didn't see him, and a car accident happened." Jiang Ci said, "He suffered a severe concussion, a broken leg, severe internal bleeding, and two broken ribs."
Jiang Rong slowly clenched his fingers.
Jiang Ci's voice was neither hurried nor slow: "After he woke up, he even forgot his own name, but he still remembered to look for his sister - is this what you want to hear from me, Jiang Rong?"
"It turns out there are people who care about you, like you, and rely on you so much. Are you happy?"
"..." Jiang Rong's voice became colder and colder: "Have I ever told you, Jiang Ci?"
"I really hate your condescending attitude. You watch us from the sidelines, thinking we're stupid and ridiculous, while you yourself remain aloof... You're the one who's in on the situation, unaware of it."
Jiang Ci seemed to laugh, but also seemed not to. The sound of rain outside the window was too loud, and Jiang Rong did not hear clearly.
But she heard what Jiang Ci said next: "I never thought you were stupid, Jiang Rong."
Jiang Rong took a deep breath and hung up the phone.
It's already past midnight and the rain shows no sign of abating. If it continues like this, with Yancheng's outdated drainage system, there will be fish on the streets tomorrow.
The cell phone suddenly rang. Jiang Rong thought it was Jiang Ci and hung up immediately. Less than two seconds later, the ringing sounded again.
Jiang Rong frowned impatiently and answered the call: "Are you done yet?!"
The other party was silent for a few seconds before speaking in a cold voice: "Who do you think it is?"
Jiang Rong was stunned.
She glanced at the strange caller on the screen and closed her eyes. "...Excuse me, I just met someone with cerebral palsy. Mr. Shang, why are you looking for me in the middle of the night? Is there something wrong?"
"I remember I told you." The man's words were emotionless. "White Egret Manor's curfew is at 10 o'clock."
Jiang Rong: "...I'm not going back tonight."
After a pause, he said, "I won't go back anymore."
This time, the silence on the other end of the phone lasted even longer. If it weren't for the sound of gentle breathing coming from the receiver, she would have almost thought that Shang Shaoheng had hung up.
She dared to hang up Jiang Ci's phone because she felt that even if Jiang Ci went crazy, he wouldn't do anything to her, but Shang Shaoheng... it was possible that this man would chop her up and feed her to sharks when he went crazy, so it was better not to provoke him unless necessary.
So she waited patiently for Shang Shaoheng's next words. This wait lasted for more than ten minutes. She was almost asleep when she heard the man's voice: "I'll give you one last chance."
"Come downstairs now and follow me back. Don't let me catch you, Jiang Rong."
Jiang Rong was stunned. She thought of something and ran to the window without even putting on her shoes and looked down.
The black Maybach almost blended into the rainy night. A man holding a black umbrella was standing next to the car. At that moment, he looked up and seemed to meet Jiang Rong's eyes.
Jiang Rong's heartbeat uncontrollably quickened.
