Jiang Nuan saw his gaze and knew that Chu Yunying had already posted the video online.
She placed the chicken in a basin to marinate and said, "Let me see."
Mu Jiuchen put his phone away and looked at her, saying, "There's nothing to see. I'll handle it."
Jiang Nuan smiled at him, "This is a matter between women. You don't interfere, I'll resolve it."
Mu Jiuchen: "En!"
If she wanted to handle it herself, he wouldn't lay a hand on that woman, but she wouldn't be let off easily either.
Mu Jiuchen sent a message and then looked at her, "Nuan Nuan, I'll go look at some documents."
Jiang Nuan: "Go ahead."
Mu Jiuchen kissed her forehead and went to the study to look at the account books.
Jiang Nuan sat on the stool and took out her phone to check the news.
As expected, Chu Yunying had already uploaded the video.
Chu Yunying was true to her word.
Jiang Nuan ignored it and clicked on her email to process it.
She hadn't misjudged Li Fengyu; she was indeed a very capable person. All the work was handled meticulously, making things much easier for her.
After the chicken had been marinating for fifteen minutes, she stood up and put the chicken in the pot to boil.
She continued to process the documents.
A few minutes later, Jiang Nuan received another message.
Yan Qi: [Sister, did you see the news? Do you want me to step in? Chu Yunying is going too far.]
Jiang Nuan: [No need. Give her the final blow when the time comes. Standing tall makes the fall more painful. Keep a close eye on her.]
Yan Qi: [Okay, Sister. I know what to do.]
Just as Jiang Nuan was about to put down her phone, she received another message from Chu Yunying.
[Jiang Nuan, I meant what I said.]
Jiang Nuan directly ignored her.
She continued cooking.
...
After Chu Yunying sent the message, a long time passed without a reply from Jiang Nuan.
She laughed in anger. Was Jiang Nuan afraid to reply?
She put away her phone and lay in bed. She still had to stay in the hospital for a few more days. She called Hong Bin. Hong Bin was also very busy making money lately, always coming home late.
However, all the money Hong Bin earned was given to her, which made her very happy.
It was strange, though. Hong Bin's earnings had been increasing, but he never said where the money came from.
She didn't care; she only cared about money!
Chu Yunying was feeling pleased when she saw someone enter.
Chu Yunying looked at the two men and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
The two men, carrying two bags of chicken blood, looked at Chu Yunying. Without a word, they poured it directly onto her head.
"Ah..." Chu Yunying turned into a bloody mess.
The two men swaggered away.
"Ah ah..." Chu Yunying, realizing it was blood, was so terrified that she fainted.
...
Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen stayed at home for two days. The next morning, she received a call from Song Baoli.
"Nuan Nuan."
"En!" Jiang Nuan sat at her vanity, looking at her shoulder-length hair, her face becoming more refined.
She picked up the essence she had been developing for the past few days and applied a little to her face. Her supple skin was very fair.
This was her second day of experimentation.
The effect was very good; fine lines had disappeared.
"Are you busy?" Song Baoli asked.
Jiang Nuan admired herself in the mirror and said with a smile, "Not busy, I'm doing my skincare."
Song Baoli said slowly, "It seems you're quite busy."
Jiang Nuan: "..." I'm not as slow-talking as you.
"If you have something to say, just say it," Jiang Nuan gently patted her cheeks.
Seeing the essence being absorbed, her complexion became much more hydrated.
Jiang Nuan smiled in satisfaction. Her second brother's birthday was coming up, and this was his gift.
"Nuan Nuan, Grandpa Hua's health has recovered well. He's been eating the medicinal porridge regularly. Recently, he can eat a small bowl in one sitting," Song Baoli said slowly.
Jiang Nuan: "En! I'll be back tonight. I'll come over to see Grandpa Hua. Is he taking the medicine on time?"
"Okay! He's taking it on time. I'll be waiting for you!" Song Baoli hung up the phone.
Mu Jiuchen happened to walk over and hugged her from behind, resting his head on her shoulder and asking, "Wife, what gift did you prepare for second brother?"
Jiang Nuan showed him the essence. "Second brother will like it very much. Once it's produced, it can make him a lot of money."
Mu Jiuchen: "!!"
"Wife, I also have a cosmetics company under my name." Why didn't his wife give him a formula?
Jiang Nuan paused and looked at him in the mirror, saying, "Sorry, I didn't know."
Mu Jiuchen asked, "Do you know how many industries I operate?"
Jiang Nuan quickly shook her head and apologized again, "I haven't researched it."
The more Jiang Nuan thought about it, the more apologetic she felt. She applied lipstick and then said, "Husband, I'm sorry, I'll make time to understand it."
Mu Jiuchen: "..." What kind of wife is this, knowing nothing about her husband's affairs.
"I'm sorry!" Jiang Nuan apologized again. She really hadn't paid attention.
Mu Jiuchen said with a hint of helplessness, "Tomorrow I'll have Xiao Fan organize a list of assets under my name and yours for you, so you don't forget what you have."
Jiang Nuan thought this was a good idea. "Alright."
Jiang Nuan tidied herself up, prepared the gift box, and then went to the Lu family.
Tonight was Lu Jincheng's birthday. Jin Yan never made a big fuss about her children's birthdays; they usually celebrated at home.
Although the Lu family was wealthy, they lived a very low-key life.
Jiang Nuan also went to help with the cooking.
By the afternoon, everything was ready when Jin Yan suddenly received a phone call.
After listening for a while, her expression gradually became extremely unpleasant.
"Mom, our children's birthdays are always celebrated privately at home. Your suggestion is out of the question. Perhaps next year. Our dinner is already prepared."
Her second son had never cared about his own birthday; if she, as his mother, didn't remember it, he wouldn't remember it himself.
A weathered and authoritative voice came from the other end: "My grandson is celebrating his birthday, and you're always so perfunctory about it? Also, why wasn't I, his grandmother, invited to the child's birthday celebration?"
Jin Yan: "..." In previous years, you never seemed to care.
Why are you so concerned this year?
And inviting me?
The old lady hadn't set foot in her house all these years.
"Mom, I'm sorry. We're celebrating second brother's birthday at home, and we've already made all the arrangements." Jin Yan refused the old lady's request to host a grand event at a banquet venue.
Besides, it was too late now.
Jincheng wouldn't go either.
"Yanyan, do you know why I've always disliked you all these years?"
Jin Yan's heart ached. She gave a cold smile, "Mom, isn't it because you favor sons over daughters?"
"Yanyan, it's not that I favor sons over daughters, but your temper is too stubborn. I asked you to book a hotel to host an banquet for second son. As a mother, can't you even do this little thing? He's my grandson, how can his birthday be celebrated so casually? You go book a restaurant immediately, and I'll bring my friends over."
Jin Yan's face turned pale and weak. "I'm sorry, second brother doesn't like that. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
Jin Yan hung up the phone, her face looking very grim.
Jiang Nuan wiped her hands and asked with concern, "Mom, did something happen?"
