Jiang Nuan arranged for the old man to be admitted to a hospital under Mu Jiuchen’s name.
He was in a bad mood today, so Jiang Nuan didn't plan for surgery.
“Old sir, we’ll prepare for the surgery tomorrow. You should adjust your mindset today. Don’t eat breakfast tomorrow morning, and the surgery will start at eight.”
Jiang Nuan instructed.
The old man nodded with a smile, “Nuannuan, thank you! Then tomorrow morning it is.”
He also hoped to live a few more years after the surgery, to see Yingying get married.
Living to his age, many things became clear. The bond between father and son, once it reached its end, it dispersed. He wasn’t sad.
Jiang Nuan: “You rest well. If you feel unwell, find Dr. Song.”
“Alright!” The old man smiled at Song Baoli, who was moving slowly.
This was also a good child.
Hua Ying walked to Jiang Nuan’s side, took her hand, and smiled with her eyes curved, “Nuannuan, thank you so much this time! Grandpa looks to be in good spirits.”
Jiang Nuan looked at her. It was because she saved her that everything else happened.
“Don’t mention it. I’ll come by again tomorrow morning then.” Jiang Nuan said. Her gentle smile was particularly radiant.
“Okay!” Hua Ying smiled happily.
After Jiang Nuan gave her instructions to Song Baoli, she left the hospital with Mu Jiuchen.
Downstairs, as they got into the car, Jiang Nuan looked at Mu Jiuchen and said, “Husband, send some people over to guard here. Don’t let them disturb the old man.”
Mu Jiuchen: “Mm! I’ll have Xiao Fan arrange it. I’ll take you back to rest first. I have to go to the company later.”
Jiang Nuan knew he was busy and said, “Okay! Then drop me off ahead. I’ll catch a ride there. I want to go to the company to take a look too, I haven’t been there in a long time.”
Mu Jiuchen disagreed, “It’s not a far way. I’ll take you there.”
After speaking, he leaned forward slightly and kissed her on the lips before driving off in a good mood.
Jiang Nuan had rested for half a month and was in excellent spirits. During this time, she only ate and slept, without thinking about what had happened before. “Have you found Chu Yunying yet?”
Yan Qi hadn’t seen Chu Yunying for several days. Even Hong Bin seemed to have disappeared.
A ruthless glint flashed in Mu Jiuchen’s eyes. “No.”
No one had seen Chu Yunying since they left the hospital.
Jiang Nuan narrowed her eyes slightly. She was good at hiding.
Mu Jiuchen dropped Jiang Nuan off at her company building. Their companies were not far apart. It was mainly because Mu Jiuchen had a lot of things to do, and he had accompanied Jiang Nuan for half a month. Now he was even busier.
Mu Jiuchen checked the time. It was 12 o’clock noon. He had half an hour, so they could have lunch together.
He unbuckled Jiang Nuan’s seatbelt and said, “Wife, I’ll come to find you at noon for lunch.”
Jiang Nuan: “Okay!”
Mu Jiuchen watched Jiang Nuan enter the elevator before driving away.
Jiang Nuan looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar company. This place had held up her life, but her grandfather had no other successor.
For now, it was okay. She sometimes thought that she would probably have to live in Modu in the future.
Her parents were both here, and they were getting older. It would be convenient for her to take care of them.
She suddenly remembered that Han Yixuan hadn’t called her in the past half a month.
She picked up her phone and called Han Yixuan.
“Nuannuan.” A deep, magnetic voice slowly came through.
Jiang Nuan looked at herself in the elevator, checked her makeup. Seeing that there were no issues, she asked, “How’s the investigation into what happened before? Is that girl alright?”
Han Yixuan: “Nuannuan, there have been multiple reports of women disappearing recently. We’ve searched for a long time but haven’t found the underground auction house that the woman you brought mentioned. Things seem to be getting more serious.”
Jiang Nuan frowned and asked, “Where did those women disappear from?”
Han Yixuan smiled and asked, “Nuannuan, what do you want to do? Do you want to put yourself in danger again?”
Jiang Nuan: “……” She didn’t have such thoughts for now.
Mu Jiuchen would go crazy.
Jiang Nuan’s voice was indifferent, “I don’t have such thoughts for now. After finally having peaceful days, I don’t want to cause trouble anymore.”
Han Yixuan smiled, “Nuannuan, I wouldn’t dare let you put yourself in danger. Mu Jiuchen would kill me. But I was just about to call you. Director An wants to see you.”
Jiang Nuan frowned. As soon as she heard this, she wanted to hang up.
She asked with a playful smile, “Do you want to re-hire me again?”
Han Yixuan: “Nuannuan, you guessed it accurately. Director An admires your courage.”
Jiang Nuan was a little displeased. Her current life was already busy enough.
She had accepted their re-hiring before because she needed to investigate Mrs. Jiang’s matter.
But now, she wanted to live a good life.
Jiang Nuan: “Let me think about it. I won’t meet for now.”
Han Yixuan: “Mm! I also think your life has become much calmer now. You don’t want to continue taking risks. Think about it. If you want to come, call me.”
Jiang Nuan: “……Okay!”
Jiang Nuan hung up the phone, her expression becoming grave.
Chu Yunying had also disappeared for half a month. Could she have gotten into trouble too?
Even Mu Jiuchen had no news.
The elevator reached the top floor, and she walked out slowly.
“General Manager Jiang.” Zhang Jinglu saw Jiang Nuan and smiled as she walked over. “Why do you have time to come to the company today?”
Jiang Nuan looked at her calmly, “I came when I had time. Is your boyfriend’s face any better?”
These words poked Zhang Jinglu’s sore spot. If it weren’t for Mu Jiuchen, her boyfriend wouldn’t have been disfigured.
But the other party was Mu Jiuchen, and they had been in the wrong first, so they could only endure it.
One day, she would make this couple pay the price.
She said with a low, mocking tone, “General Manager Jiang, after being beaten like that, how could he possibly recover? He’s already disfigured.”
Jiang Nuan’s expression was blank, “My husband’s blows are very heavy. It seems he’ll remember this next time.”
Zhang Jinglu: “……”
What arrogant words!
She could only swallow all her anger and grievances.
Grandpa said that until the plan was successful, she had to endure everything.
“General Manager Jiang is right. Would you like tea or coffee?” she asked with a smile.
Jiang Nuan gave her a deep glance and said, “Give me a glass of plain water.”
“Alright, General Manager Jiang.” Zhang Jinglu went down to pour water.
She encountered Li Fengyu. She was now Jiang Nuan’s assistant. When Jiang Nuan was not here, she was in charge.
She looked at Li Fengyu mockingly, “Li Fengyu, General Manager Jiang is here. Hurry up and go in and butter her up.”
Li Fengyu’s annual salary doubled after becoming Jiang Nuan’s assistant.
She was envious just hearing the number.
Not only that, but Jiang Nuan also had Li Fengyu find an assistant she trusted to work with.
Her annual salary was as high as hers. She had been too arrogant before, and this move by Jiang Nuan had subdued her completely.
Li Fengyu sneered, her sharp eyes staring straight at her, “Zhang Jinglu, do I need to butter her up?”
Zhang Jinglu: “……”
“Isn’t it because you’re good at flattering and talking that you were promoted to her assistant?” Zhang Jinglu was very jealous.
Li Fengyu sneered and asked, “Zhang Jinglu, do you know why you are nothing in General Manager Jiang’s eyes?”
