Murong Cheng’s face was expressionless, his lips pulled taut. “I’m going upstairs to take a bath. Wait for me, wife.”
Without waiting for Jiang Shiyu to say anything, the man went straight upstairs.
Strange, was this man having his period? Why was he so obedient?
Jiang Shiyu muttered, closing the door.
After waiting for half an hour, she finally saw the man come downstairs.
Jiang Shiyu was on the verge of dozing off. Seeing the man descend, she hurried forward, “I have something to ask you!”
“Hmm? Let’s talk about it in bed.”
The man forcefully picked her up, carried her back to the room, placed her gently on the bed, and then enfolded her in his powerful arms.
Jiang Shiyu felt like she could barely breathe, held so tightly by the man.
Murong Cheng remained silent, simply holding her tightly.
His hands and feet were well-behaved, he didn’t do anything to her, just held her quietly.
He was holding her so tightly, it felt like he was crushing her bones and flesh.
“Hey…”
Jiang Shiyu poked the man’s arm.
What was wrong with him?
He seemed to have been greatly stimulated.
Holding her so tightly, as if afraid of losing her.
Jiang Shiyu was trembling with fear, but didn’t know how to start asking.
She let the man hold her like that.
After an unknown amount of time, the man’s breathing gradually became regular and deep.
Jiang Shiyu sighed softly, feeling the man’s warmth brush over her head.
The next day, when Jiang Shiyu woke up, the side of the bed was empty.
She hurriedly washed up and went downstairs, only to see the aunt in the kitchen.
Seeing Jiang Shiyu awake, the aunt spoke in a dialect with a Hai City accent, “Oh, Madam is finally awake! Come down quickly to eat. The master specifically asked me to make breakfast for you…”
Jiang Shiyu went downstairs, pulled out a chair and sat down, taking out her phone to message Murong Cheng about last night.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her phone, Zhao Shuyao’s call came in.
“Shiyu baby! Oh my god! What’s going on with the Murong family lately!”
“What’s going on?” Jiang Shiyu held her phone a little further away.
Zhao Shuyao’s voice was so loud, it almost pierced her eardrums.
“Oh my god, you don’t even know? Shiyu baby, your little brother-in-law has been kidnapped, and his whereabouts are unknown. The kidnappers are demanding ransom, or they’ll kill him! They’re asking for ten to twenty billion! In cash!
Although the Qin family was wealthy, Zhao Shuyao had never seen so much money.
Especially over ten billion in real gold and silver.
Even with the Qin family’s immense wealth, they might not be able to produce such a large amount of cash at once.
She wondered if the Murong family could afford it!
“What?” Jiang Shiyu clutched her phone, utterly shocked, unable to hold her spoon steady.
Hao Hao was kidnapped?
So that’s what Murong Cheng was busy with last night? But why did he come back smelling of blood?
Seeing Jiang Shiyu’s silence, Zhao Shuyao was frantic. “Shiyu baby, wait for me, I’m coming over to be with you now.”
Zhao Shuyao hung up the phone with a click.
Jiang Shiyu held her phone, a mix of laughter and tears on her face.
She opened her phone browser and checked.
The news of Hao Hao’s kidnapping was everywhere.
She called the old master, but he didn’t answer. After a while, Old Master Rong called back.
“Don’t worry, the Murong family will handle this. You stay home, A Cheng is with me, don’t worry.”
After a few comforting words, the old master hung up.
Even so, Jiang Shiyu couldn’t relax.
How could Hao Hao be kidnapped for no reason?
There was a knock on the door. The aunt opened it, and Zhao Shuyao changed her shoes and quickly came to Jiang Shiyu’s side, taking her hand. “Shiyu baby, I know you’re upset…”
“Upset?” Jiang Shiyu chuckled. “Hao Hao being kidnapped is understandable, I can’t sympathize.”
Although he was just a child, his heart was so wicked. She wasn’t a saint; she couldn’t sympathize with a child who had hurt Che Che.
The most heartbroken person should be Song Yu.
With these successive blows, she must be going crazy right now.
“There, there, I knew it. Song Yu is notoriously difficult to deal with. I met her child once at a banquet. He was spoiled, willful, and arrogant.”
Zhao Shuyao recalled Hao Hao. She had met him at a banquet years ago. Although it was only once, Hao Hao was only five or six years old then, willful and arrogant, yet Song Yu ignored him, letting him act as he pleased.
At that time, the celebrities at the banquet had many reservations, but out of respect for the Murong family’s immense power, no one dared to intervene, and some even flattered him, calling him lively.
“He’s simply a brat. It’s understandable that he was kidnapped. Who knows who he offended!”
Zhao Shuyao sighed.
Jiang Shiyu wasn’t concerned about Hao Hao’s kidnapping. “Have you eaten? The aunt stewed bird’s nest for you. Have some. You just recovered from a serious illness, you need to replenish your strength.”
“Okay, okay! Shiyu baby’s bird’s nest is the most delicious!”
Zhao Shuyao smiled sweetly, took the bird’s nest, and ate it.
Jiang Shiyu looked at Zhao Shuyao carefully. “You’ve lost some weight. You need to eat more. You look so thin, like you’ve been abused.”
After finishing the bird’s nest, Zhao Shuyao put down the bowl and spoon. “Huo Yanxue came to see me a couple of days ago. She couldn’t get her way with force, so she tried the soft approach, kneeling and begging me, pleading with me, saying how miserable her life was…”
That day, when she got off work, she returned to the hotel and saw Huo Yanxue standing outside the corridor.
When Huo Yanxue saw her, her body swayed. She took a few steps forward. “Sister, you’re finally back. I’ve been waiting for you for so long, why did you take so long to return.”
Zhao Shuyao responded coldly, “What are you here for?”
“Sister, don’t be like this. I know it was my fault, I was in a bad mood, which made you in a bad mood too. Please, Sister, forgive me. Can we go inside to talk?”
“No need, we’ll talk here!”
There were surveillance cameras in the corridor, but not inside. Zhao Shuyao was afraid that something might happen to Huo Yanxue if she entered the room, and she couldn’t bear that responsibility.
“Sister, are you so wary of me now? What did I do wrong? I just love Brother Yusheng. I just want to be with Brother Yusheng. I don’t know what I did wrong. I know Sister also likes Brother Yusheng, but everything has its order…”
“Heh, you came to me today just to make me divorce Qin Yusheng, didn’t you?”
Zhao Shuyao let out a cold laugh. She could guess why Huo Yanxue was here with her toes.
“Sister, I’m just worried about you. I couldn’t get through to your phone. Do we really have to be so estranged? Back then, your family saved my family. I’m grateful for…”
Zhao Shuyao scoffed. “Huo Yanxue, that trick won’t work on me. Your so-called way of repaying me is by stealing my man? And taking credit for my kidney donation? You love your Brother Yusheng. If he were penniless, would you still love him? I’ll tell you, if Qin Yusheng were a beggar, I’d still love him! But you can’t!”
