"Ruoruo!"
As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Ze's eyes lit up instantly, and he rushed over without waiting.
At that moment, Li Ruo was sitting on the edge of the bed with a blank expression when she suddenly heard a familiar voice, and her eyes lit up instantly.
She turned around instinctively, and the moment she saw Jiang Ze, her voice filled with joy: "Brother, you're finally here!"
Although her aunt had told her beforehand, Li Ruo still couldn't contain her excitement when the moment arrived.
Jiang Ze looked Li Ruo up and down, his eyes filled with heartache and self-blame as he saw her pale face and obviously thin body: "I'm sorry Ruo Ruo, I'm late."
The sudden concern made Li Ruo's nose tingle.
Compared to Wen Huaiyan's domineering and restrictive nature, this genuine feeling of being cared for by her family was something she found exceptionally precious.
But in order not to worry Jiang Ze, she forced a smile and shook her head, saying, "Brother, I'm fine, you don't need to blame yourself."
But Jiang Ze and Li Ruo had lived together for so many years, how could he not see that she was faking it? He couldn't help but feel even more heartache for her.
The next second, he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly and curse angrily, "Wen Huaiyan is simply a demon! Look at the state he's put you in! How could he treat you like this!"
You know, Li Ruo used to be such a lively person, but now even her smile has become so bitter, not to mention her dull and lifeless eyes.
Thinking of this, his hatred for Wen Huaiyan intensified, and he then earnestly promised Li Ruo, "Ruo Ruo, don't worry, if Wen Huaiyan dares to treat you like this, I will definitely make him pay the price!"
Seeing Jiang Ze so agitated, and fearing he might do something irreversible in a moment of impulsiveness, Li Ruo quickly grabbed his arm and shook her head to comfort him, saying, "Brother, I know you mean well, but now is not the time to talk about this."
She wasn't speaking up for Wen Huaiyan, but she just didn't want to see Jiang Ze risk his life for her sake.
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper glanced outside, frowned, and reminded her, "Yes, let's talk about the future later. The important thing now is to rescue Miss Li!"
After all, this opportunity is hard-won, and there's no time to waste here.
If Wen Huaiyan were to return midway, or if the bodyguards realized something was wrong and came in early, everything would be for naught.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ze immediately snapped out of his daze: "Let's go!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Li Ruo's wrist and walked towards the door.
However, just as the two reached the top of the stairs, they bumped into Wen Zhi, who was coming upstairs.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ze and Li Ruo's eyes widened suddenly, and their hearts jumped into their throats.
After all, if Wen Zhi told Wen Huaiyan about the situation, they would have no way to escape.
Wen Zhi hadn't considered this at all. When she saw another man beside Li Ruo, her eyes lit up, and she subconsciously raised an eyebrow, saying sarcastically, "Well, Li Ruo, I didn't expect you to be so shameless, daring to cheat on my brother with another man!"
She had never met Jiang Ze before, and seeing him so close to Li Ruo immediately sparked countless fantasies in her mind.
Facing Wen Zhi, Li Ruo tried to remain calm on the surface, but her heart couldn't help but beat faster.
Seemingly sensing her unusual behavior, Jiang Ze frowned and tried to speak.
But before he could speak, Li Ruo stopped him.
Now is not the time for conflict!
not to mention……
She glanced at Wen Zhi briefly, and the tension in her heart slowly subsided.
She knew this woman somewhat; she was simple-minded and not too hard to fool.
Seeing this, Jiang Ze had no choice but to retract his clenched fist and leave the matter to Li Ruo.
In fact, ever since he learned what Wen Huaiyan had done to Li Ruo, his disgust for the Wen family had reached its peak.
Seeing that Jiang Ze's emotions had stabilized, Li Ruo breathed a sigh of relief and turned her gaze to Wen Zhi.
In the past, Jiang Ze wouldn't have needed to intervene; she could have easily refuted him and even added a few sarcastic remarks.
But now she was afraid that Wen Huaiyan would suddenly come back, so rather than wasting time, she decided to leave first.
After all, it's better to avoid trouble!
However, when the two passed by Wenzhi, she stopped them.
Seeing this, Li Ruo looked at her with a puzzled expression: "What are you doing?"
Wen Zhi sneered and took a step forward abruptly: "Li Ruo, you betrayed my brother, and you think you can just walk away like that? Do you think that's possible?"
The Wen family isn't a place this woman can come and go as she pleases.
Moreover, having finally managed to catch Li Ruo in a compromising situation, she didn't want to let it slip away so easily.
Knowing that she was deliberately stirring up trouble, Li Ruo's face immediately darkened, and she warned in a harsh tone, "This is none of your business, you'd better not interfere!"
However, Wen Zhi smirked and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Who said it's none of my business? My brother's business is my business. In short, if you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about leaving!"
