Su Ding was momentarily stunned. Could a producer have bodyguards show up in person?
Jiang Chu said lightly, "You two wait outside."
"Yes."
The bodyguards responded and stood under the eaves, trained and disciplined.
Sensing Su Ding's scrutinizing gaze, Jiang Chu smiled. "Since you are my savior, I don't want to hide anything from you. I'm not just a producer; I have several businesses abroad."
"Businesses?" Su Ding frowned, confused.
"Have you heard of Sen Ou Pu Group?"
Sen Ou Pu was the only international enterprise in the European market that could rival Huang Qi Group.
Su Ding looked at him in surprise. "So, you are?"
"I am a major shareholder of Sen Ou Pu, the China region manager," Jiang Chu said.
Su Ding still couldn't process it.
The seemingly minor producer she remembered was suddenly a high-ranking executive of the internationally renowned Sen Ou Pu?
"Why are you telling me this?"
"I want to say that I have the confidence and capability to be your backing."
Jiang Chu raised his head, his gaze calm and assured. He didn't mind protecting her after she was blacklisted by the Jin family.
"You... you want to be my backing?" Su Ding was completely dumbfounded.
"Yes, this is to repay the life-saving favor."
"Oh."
Su Ding didn't react much after hearing this.
This, however, made Jiang Chu uneasy. He spoke openly, "If you have grievances with the Jin family, I can protect you completely."
"Thank you, but I don't need it for now," Su Ding said indifferently.
Jiang Chu's brows furrowed.
Was she pretending to be strong? Or did she not trust him?
At the wedding, how could the Jin family, having suffered such a humiliation, easily let her off?
Moreover, her economic contract was still held by Huang Qi Group...
"Su Ding, I'm serious."
Su Ding finally looked at him directly, equally serious. "I really don't need it."
She was about to leave Jiang City.
Jiang Chu suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
This was the first time he tried to help someone and was rejected, which bothered him.
"You just need to keep my daughter's presence here a secret. That's enough."
Su Ding reiterated.
Jiang Chu's head shot up. "I can have people guard the village to protect your daughter's safety."
This statement made Su Ding's heart waver.
Even if she could evade Shao Lin with the news of her fake death, there was no guarantee that accidents wouldn't happen.
Su Ding looked up at him. "Ensure her safety?"
Jiang Chu nodded firmly. "Ensure her safety. That way, we'll be even."
"Okay, deal."
...
When Su Ding returned to Xu Xiu Fen's house, she received the processed video and photos from Ah Huang.
She sent them to Xu Rong immediately.
Xu Rong promptly notified Shao Lin that Su Xiao Rui had unexpectedly fallen off a mountain and died, followed by heavy rain, and that they were searching for the body.
Shao Lin, upon seeing the video and photos, didn't suspect a thing and laughed, her face contorted.
"Excellent! Excellent!"
She quickly saved the photos and videos, and instructed Xu Rong, "Don't tell anyone. I'll transfer the remaining payment to you."
"Okay, I understand."
Xu Rong hadn't expected Shao Lin to be so easily fooled and quickly agreed.
Meanwhile, Shao Lin repeatedly admired the photos in bed. She couldn't wait to see Su Ding and make her witness it.
Su Ding would surely go mad from the shock!
Her most beloved daughter in this life was dead, hahaha!
It was truly a turn of the wheel of fortune.
Losing Jin Ye's love on one hand, and her daughter on the other, Su Ding would surely go insane.
She would then send Su Ding to a mental hospital to experience motherhood.
When Su Ding was in unbearable pain, she would then tell her that Jin Xiao Xi was actually her son, yet called her mother.
This would cause Su Ding to completely break down, completely despair.
The more Shao Lin thought about it, the more excited she became, almost jumping out of her skin.
Just then, she suddenly heard Jin Ye's voice and quickly got up and went out.
"Brother Jin, you're going to East City, right? It just so happens that I need to go to Mei Yu Fang nearby to pick up a bracelet for Auntie. Give me a ride."
Jin Ye coldly refused, "Take a taxi yourself."
Shao Lin pouted. "No, let's go together, okay?"
"Don't bother me." Jin Ye picked up his car keys, about to leave.
Shao Lin quickly followed. Upon seeing Zhao Qin in the living room, she quickly said, "Auntie, I'm going to pick up a bracelet for you. Ask Brother Jin to give me a ride."
Zhao Qin immediately looked at her son. "Xiao Ye."
Jin Ye was too lazy to argue with his mother and said coldly, "I got it."
Shao Lin smiled happily and followed closely behind.
...
East City, suburban highway.
"Your bodyguards' car isn't working, and you insist on riding in my shabby car?"
Su Ding looked at Jiang Chu helplessly and couldn't help but complain.
Jiang Chu smiled. "The bodyguards are occupied with other matters. It's on the way, as we're both heading back to Jiang City."
Given their past shallow acquaintance, she never knew Jiang Chu was so thick-skinned.
Su Ding had no choice. "Where do you live?"
"Liang Yi Ya Yuan."
Su Ding opened the navigation, searched for the location, and stepped on the accelerator, speeding off.
Unexpectedly, a child suddenly ran out in front!
She slammed on the brakes, the tires screeching against the ground, and the car shook violently. The car behind them immediately crashed into them.
"Bang!"
The car body made a ripping sound, accompanied by the sound of the child crying in fear.
An adult by the roadside quickly picked up the child and ran away.
Su Ding was angry and a little scared, but the car behind them was probably even more furious. Glancing in the rearview mirror, she saw it was a Rolls-Royce.
This was bad!
She pushed open the car door and got out, glancing at Jiang Chu. "Stay put."
As she approached the car, her expression changed drastically.
Jin Ye walked towards her with a grim expression, accompanied by a surprised Shao Lin. They were even wearing matching colored clothes.
Truly a match made in heaven.
"I'm sorry, sir. There was a child in front, which is why I braked so suddenly."
Su Ding took a deep breath inwardly, looked up, and offered a polite, apologetic smile.
As if speaking to a stranger.
Jin Ye's temple twitched with anger. This woman was treating him like a stranger?
He clenched his fists tightly and said in a cold, deep voice, "What did you call me?"
