189: Chapter 189: Where There’s Life, There’s Hope 189: Chapter 189: Where There’s Life, There’s Hope Jiang Yan knew she wouldn’t ask this for no reason.
“What’s up, did you find something?”
Su He gathered her thoughts.
“Lou Ziang has been getting quite close to the Second Son of Ji Family recently.
Given Lou Ziang’s personality, he likely wouldn’t get this close to the Ji Family without some agenda, right?”
After all, the Ji Family and the Lou Family were not even on the same level.
As far as she knew, there was no business between the two families.
Jiang Yan nodded: “Definitely with a purpose.”
Su He’s eyebrows lifted slightly: “You know?”
She always felt that this man was hiding something from her.
Jiang Yan then asked, “Do you remember Lou Ziang moving a large amount of funds to a charity overseas?”
Su He nodded; of course, she remembered.
She had Bai Yang look into it before, but there was nothing unusual, so she let it be.
The man continued, “Ji Ting is in charge of that project.”
Su He was slightly taken aback: “…When did these two hook up?”
Jiang Yan said, “According to Jiang Feng’s investigation, Lou Ziang knew Ji Ting when he was studying abroad.”
Now she understood; Lou Ziang was not after the Ji Family, but Ji Ting.
…
Two days later.
On Thursday at noon, Jiang Yan came to the hospital to take Su He to lunch.
They had already returned to Yue City yesterday.
And someone was well again, so Su He couldn’t help but admire that person’s physical fitness; the recovery ability was astonishing.
Taoyao Inn.
There was a private room reserved for Jiang Yan.
In the private room.
Just as Su He was halfway through her meal, Jiang Feng knocked and entered.
“Young Madam, Master, excuse me for a moment.”
After entering, Jiang Feng said to them.
“Mr.
Luo just called, mentioning that the lady has agreed to the divorce.
He’s wondering what the next steps should be?”
Su He raised her eyebrows in slight surprise, but wasn’t taken aback.
While adding food to Su He’s plate, Jiang Yan said, “After the divorce procedures are finalized, have Mr.
Luo sent out of Yue City and let him take a short break.”
Su He: “…”
Jiang Feng: “…”
Neither of them expected the man to say that.
In other words: let Mr.
Luo hide!
Jiang Feng was stunned for a second, then immediately replied, “Alright, I’ll arrange that.”
Jiang Yan: “Good, go.
Let him enjoy himself, he can even bring his family along.”
Jiang Feng got the hint immediately, nodded, and said, “Sure, I will convey this to Mr.
Luo.”
With that, he turned and left.
After the door closed, Su He spoke up: “Aren’t you afraid that woman will come here to cause a scene later?”
If Lou Ruozhi found out, she would undoubtedly come to make a fuss, Su He knew without guessing.
Jiang Yan picked another piece of fish for her, meticulously removed the bones, and placed it in her bowl.
He chuckled softly, “Isn’t that what I have the sharp-tongued Mrs.
Jiang for?”
Su He: “…”
“So, you’re treating me as a tool for arguing?”
The corner of Jiang Yan’s mouth lifted as he smiled and said, “How could you be a tool?
If you’re a tool, then I’m the toolbox that’s made exclusively for you, one-of-a-kind.”
After hearing this, Su He felt a shiver down her spine…
Ever since the day he got hurt, this man would occasionally say things that left her speechless.
“Can’t you speak more normally?”
“What’s wrong with it, huh?”
Su He said discontentedly, “I’m not used to you acting like this.”
Jiang Yan pressed on, “What did I do?”
Su He took a deep breath, “Stop talking to me with those mushy sweet nothings.
Just tone it down a bit.”
Seeing that he was about to speak again, she bluntly cut him off, “Let me eat in peace, otherwise, after today, you can eat by yourself and don’t come looking for me to join you.”
Jiang Yan: “…”
…
Sure enough.
Friday afternoon.
Lou Ruozhi sought out the Jiang Family, but was stopped outside the doors of Jiang Building, for a very simple reason: anyone with the surname Lou was not permitted inside.
Lou Ruozhi returned disappointed, ultimately having no choice but to leave.
After all, she was someone with a reputation to uphold.
Making a scene and ending up on the internet would only shame herself.
At the top floor of the DK Building.
Jiang Feng knocked on the door, then pushed it open to enter.
He stood before the large desk and relayed to the man, “Master, news just came from the Jiang Family that Mrs.
Lou went to look for you at Jiang Building, but security stopped her at the door.
She stayed for a few minutes then left.”
The man, with his head down looking at documents, nonchalantly sounded a “Hmm” without lifting his head.
He was totally unconcerned about these matters, which were all within his expectations.
Then, Jiang Feng added, “Master, should we be vigilant about the old residence as well?”
Jiang Feng was worried that Lou Ruozhi would go and bother the Old Madam.
After all, the Old Madam was no longer young and couldn’t stand the disturbance.
Only then did the man sitting on the executive chair put down the documents, lifted his gaze, and said, “Have Fei Yang watch over it.
If anyone comes, send them packing halfway, and don’t let them get near the old residence to disturb Old Madam.”
The man’s words were both blunt and brusque.
Jiang Feng responded, “Yes.”
Following that, the man’s low and hoarse voice sounded again, “Additionally, inform Uncle Zhong that no one is to come within five kilometers of Moon Gift Villa!”
“Yes, I will inform Uncle Zhong immediately.”
Thereupon, Jiang Feng silently sighed in his heart.
He really couldn’t understand what the lady was thinking, disregarding such a capable son, and instead fixating on wishing harm upon this son.
How could she resemble a mother…
…
Lou Ruozhi faced obstacles all afternoon.
No matter where she went, she was stopped before she could get close.
At this moment, she was on her way to Moon Gift Villa, and just as she was about to arrive, two black sedans suddenly burst out from a side road.
Thanks to the driver applying the brakes in time, otherwise it would’ve been a different story.
Due to inertia, Lou Ruozhi’s body lurched forward, then violently smashed back…
“Old Wang, how do you drive!”
Already irritated, she seized the opportunity and vented.
Driver Wang was still unsettled, so he didn’t respond to Lou Ruozhi’s unpleasant tone.
Immediately afterward, he noticed the two black sedans blocking the front and several tall men in black suits descending from the vehicles.
Driver Wang was even more frightened; with his thin arms and legs, he was no match for these men.
“Uh…
Mrs…
Mrs.
Lou, look outside.”
Wang’s voice trembled as he spoke.
Lou Ruozhi had already been startled, and with her mind unsettled all along, she hadn’t noticed the outside situation.
Hearing the driver’s words, she finally looked out of the car window.
Then, she was completely taken aback.
Fei Yang stood in front of the driver’s seat, politely knocking on the window, signaling for the driver to lower it.
Lou Ruozhi wanted him not to, but the driver was frightened; almost without waiting for her to speak, he promptly lowered the window.
Fei Yang didn’t do anything excessive.
He bent forward, resting his arms on the window ledge, his expression serious, and firmly said to the driver, “Brother, reverse your car.
You’re not allowed to go up here.”
Fei Yang’s aura was too overpowering, his gaze too piercing, and Wang’s legs turned to jelly from fear.
It was then that Lou Ruozhi spoke up, “Why can’t we go up?
Who are you?”
Upon hearing her, Fei Yang’s gaze sharply swept over the woman in the back seat.
Immediately, he spoke up: “From here on, the road ahead is private territory.
Without a pass, of course you can’t enter.”
A pass?
Upon hearing this, Lou Ruozhi knitted her brows tightly.
She had been here before, how come she didn’t know you needed a pass to go to Moon Gift Villa?
“Do you think I’m easy to fool?
There was never a need for any pass before, why is it necessary now?
What exactly are you trying to do?”
She bombarded him with several questions in a row.
Fei Yang answered each one of them: “It wasn’t needed before, but from this moment on, it is.
Madam, if you leave quietly on your own, we certainly won’t do anything to you.
But if you don’t leave, we don’t mind doing something to you.”
“…”
If Lou Ruozhi still couldn’t understand at this point, then she’s lived these decades in vain.
Clearly, this was Jiang Yan’s doing.
She was so angry she didn’t even know how to express the word “angry”…
“Tell Jiang Yan, I am his mother, on what grounds is he barring me?
Since you won’t let me in, then call him out to meet me!”
Lou Ruozhi’s complexion was extremely unsightly, not even attempting to hide the gloom in her eyes.
Fei Yang turned a blind eye and indifferently stated: “I’m sorry, Madam, our Master is not someone who can be seen just by anyone.”
He completely ignored the fact that she was Jiang Yan’s mother, not giving her any face at all.
His orders were just like that, to prevent the Lou Family people from entering the domain of Moon Gift Villa.
“You…”
Lou Ruozhi was so angry she couldn’t speak…
“I am his mother!”
She repeated again through clenched teeth.
Fei Yang straightforwardly said: “Sorry, Madam, regardless of who you are, it’s no use.”
“Please leave quickly, don’t force us to take action.”
Driver Wang was also trembling as he looked at Lou Ruozhi, saying: “Madam, let’s just go.
If a conflict starts, we’ll only be at a disadvantage.
As the saying goes, a good man doesn’t suffer in front of him, having Green Mountains means not worrying about firewood.”
“…”
Fei Yang also stopped talking, just quietly watching them.
After contemplating for a moment, Lou Ruozhi could only resign herself to leave.
She never expected Jiang Yan to be so ruthless!
Just as their car was leaving the entrance to Moon Gift Villa, a red Ferrari brushed past them.
“Old Wang, stop the car!”
Driver Wang immediately executed an emergency brake.
“Madam, what’s wrong now?”
Lou Ruozhi frowned and said, “Turn around, go back.”
Driver Wang: “…”
They had just left and now they were turning back?
“Madam, they won’t let us in, going back is pointless.”
He appropriately tried to advise her.
But it seemed useless…
Lou Ruozhi spoke with a stern voice: “No more nonsense!”
The person in that sports car was Jiang You.
If she couldn’t see Jiang Yan, even seeing Jiang You was out of the question.
Fei Yang and the others just stood by the side of the road, then they saw a red sports car coming.
Jiang You stopped the car, looking at the two black sedans blocking her path, totally bewildered.
Then, she rolled down the window and saw Fei Yang approaching her.
Fei Yang respectfully asked her: “Young Miss, how come you are here?”
Jiang You lifted her eyes to look at him, glanced at the car blocking the way, “What are you doing?”
Fei Yang replied: “Oh, the Master asked us to stop a person.”
Jiang You curiously asked: “Who?”
Fei Yang was about to answer when out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of the Bentley that had left earlier returning.
Through the rearview mirror, Jiang You also saw the car stopped behind her.
The next second, she saw a woman’s figure descending from the car.
This woman was none other than Lou Ruozhi.
Jiang You frowned, cursing silently: Definitely stepped on dog shit going out today!
At this moment, Lou Ruozhi had already made her way to the side of her car, but still several steps away from Jiang You, because Fei Yang blocked her way.
Seeing Fei Yang, Lou Ruozhi said irritably, “Move aside.
I’m looking for my daughter.”
Fei Yang ignored her completely, standing still as a statue.
Having been with Jiang Yan for so long, he naturally knew who Lou Ruozhi was, but Master had also instructed before, to not let anyone with the surname Lou get close to the young madam.
Lou Ruozhi faced the tall and somewhat dark-skinned bodyguard, who was like an immovable bronze wall, angry yet helpless.
She had no choice but to shout in Jiang You’s direction: “Xiao You, get out of the car, your mother wants to talk to you.”
Sitting in the car, Jiang You listened to her words, a scornful smile surfacing in her eyes.
The shamelessness of this woman was truly extraordinary.
She couldn’t be bothered with her, simply saying, “Fei Yang, clear the way.”
“Understood,” Fei Yang immediately replied.
Then, he signaled with a move of his hand, and the bodyguards in the black sedan got the message, beginning to move the car aside to clear the path.
Seeing Jiang You about to leave, Lou Ruozhi took advantage of Fei Yang’s momentary distraction, rushed towards Jiang You’s car, and spread her arms to block it.
Jiang You looked at her coldly through the windshield.
This was the second time she had stood in front of her car to block it.
To be honest, if it were not illegal to hit a person, she really would have considered doing it.
This woman was unbearably annoying!
Jiang You said in a deep voice, “Fei Yang, pull her away for me!”
“Understood.”
Lou Ruozhi saw Jiang You treating her this way and grew even angrier, “Jiang You, I’m your mother!”
Sitting in the car, Jiang You’s lips curved into a mocking smile, sharp enough to sting Lou Ruozhi’s heart—how could she not see the sarcasm in Jiang You’s smile?
Jiang You held back, but still opened the car door and got out.
However, she didn’t move, just stood by the car door, leaning half against it.
She looked at Lou Ruozhi, usually so high and mighty, graceful and luxurious, but now somewhat disheveled and pitiable.
But none of this was her concern!
“Mrs.
Lou, it seems you really have a short memory.” Jiang You said coldly and mockingly as she watched her: “I’ve said it before, someone who’s only responsible for giving birth and not raising has no right to be Jiang You’s mother.
I’ve said this no less than ten times, and I hope this is the last time!”
“Also, that time at the mall, I said that from the moment you pushed me out as a hostage, I had already repaid the debt of birth.
And I was lucky, well-liked, so I didn’t die but it was also like my second rebirth.
Thus, I, Jiang You, now have absolutely no relation with you!
Stop acting here, it feels awfully awkward to watch!”
Lou Ruozhi’s face stiffened at Jiang You’s words, her limbs turned cold, and her eyes reddened.
Jiang You truly did not want to see her.
Having said that, she bent down and got back into the driver’s seat.
“Fei Yang, get rid of her quickly.”
She added another sentence.
Now she also knew who Fei Yang and the others were here to stop.
If it was to stop Lou Ruozhi, she wouldn’t be surprised at all, and in fact, she fully supported it.
Fei Yang took lead personally, with a broad stride he grabbed Lou Ruozhi’s arm, and with a little effort pulled her away.
How could Lou Ruozhi, a woman of the house, have the strength to compete with a well-trained bodyguard like Fei Yang?
Driver Wang sat in the car all the while, not daring to get out.
Lou Ruozhi could only watch helplessly as Jiang You’s car drove away.
Around five o’clock in the afternoon.
Su He had just come up from emergency, when Lu Zhenyu approached her.
“Um, Director Su, someone is waiting for you in your office.”
Su He saw his weird expression and asked, “Who?”
Lu Zhenyu leaned in and muttered something in her ear…
After hearing this, Su He’s brows furrowed slightly, and she wanted to turn around and leave.
But it seemed…
It was too late…
