192: Chapter 192: He’s Besieged by Anxious Fury 192: Chapter 192: He’s Besieged by Anxious Fury The next day.
Su He got out of bed after ten in the morning.
When she came downstairs, she saw Xiaxia playing with the little one.
She felt fortunate to have such a good son; whenever she slept in, he would behave and not disturb her.
“Yo, awake already?” Jing Xuan, hearing footsteps, looked up at her with a hint of teasing in her smile: “I thought you two had a battle until midnight, and you wouldn’t get up until noon.”
The little one, confused by what he heard, followed the practice of asking whenever he didn’t understand.
He asked with his baby voice: “Godmother Xiaxia, what does ‘battle until midnight’ mean?”
Jing Xuan ruffled his cheeks and said with a smile: “You’re still young, you will naturally understand when you grow up, no rush now.”
“Oh, okay then~”
The little one nodded his head, somewhat puzzled.
Su He was speechless: “…”
Then, she looked around the living room and asked: “Is your son-in-law not coming today?”
Su He now refers to Lu Zhiyang in front of her as—son-in-law.
They had left early yesterday, and Lu Zhiyang had missed them.
Now it was broad daylight, and still, there was no sign of him, which was quite odd.
She asked again: “Did your son-in-law give up?”
Speaking of Lu Zhiyang, Jing Xuan frowned, and a wave of irritation surged.
“Who knows what he’s up to.”
This morning he called and woke her up, saying he had something to do and couldn’t keep her company today, and told her to take good care of herself.
As if she was incapable of looking after herself.
And his tone, so much like that of an old mother…
The worst part was, even though she had blocked his number, he was still able to get through to her phone.
He called tirelessly every day; she now wanted to throw her phone away.
Su He looked at her and jokingly said: “What’s wrong, you look unhappy.
Is it because he didn’t come?”
Jing Xuan immediately retorted: “Baobao, don’t talk nonsense, that’s not something to joke about.”
“I’m overjoyed that he’s not here to annoy me.”
Su He smiled and then asked: “So about the child, did he agree?”
Jing Xuan got even more irritated at that.
That damned man is so cunning!
She originally planned to use this unexpected child to push Lu Zhiyang away from her, but he agreed verbally and yet did nothing “as promised.”
He even told her something like he couldn’t control his own consciousness and behavior…
Bullshit he can’t control himself…
he’s doing it on purpose…
what a dog of a man, such a dog!
“If he had agreed, I wouldn’t have to keep lingering around here,” Jing Xuan sighed: “Your husband is almost sick of me.”
Su He: “…”
At this moment, Lu Zhiyang, who was in a meeting, suddenly felt his nose itch and sneezed without warning.
The people below began to feel nervous: “…”
Afraid that this was an ominous sign.
Even though Lu Zhiyang had announced he was leaving the Lu Family, the Lu Group was still under his name, and he couldn’t possibly leave the Lu Group leaderless.
He just didn’t work as long hours as before, occasionally holding a meeting.
All other matters were handed over to two other trusted executives of the company.
…
Meanwhile, at the Lou Family.
All the servants stayed cautious within their own areas, daring not to make a move.
Since the last time, this was the second argument between the two of the Lou Family.
And this argument felt even more serious than the last.
“Lou Guohui, are you blaming me for this?”
Lou Ruozi’s somewhat sharp voice came from the living room.
She questioned the man in front of her, Lou Guohui; she would never have imagined that he would blame her for not handling this matter properly.
“At the beginning, you said we didn’t need the money, but I still agreed to the divorce because I was worried about you being too stressed.
But what about you?
Now that things haven’t been resolved and the money hasn’t been obtained, you’re pointing fingers at me!”
“I didn’t know it was a trap, I’ve also looked for him, I’ve done everything I could, what else do you want from me, Lou Guohui?”
From a young age, Lou Ruozi was pampered by him, and it was rare for him to lose his temper with her.
It was normal for her not to bear it.
What she couldn’t stand even more was his cold attitude towards her.
Since yesterday, he had been giving her the cold shoulder, continuing just until recently; she had reached her limit and, provoked by his indifference, lashed out.
Lou Guohui faced her questioning with a frown but offered no explanation.
Inside, he was incredibly agitated.
If the Lou Family didn’t inject capital, they might fall into an abyss and never recover.
Due to Jiang Yan’s interference, the banks simply weren’t willing to lend money.
He had tried everything but still couldn’t borrow any funds.
“Xiaozi, I’m not blaming you, it’s just that the Lou Family is in dire straits; if we don’t have this money, the Lou Family will be beyond redemption.”
Lou Ruozi was in no mood to hear any of this, no longer caring about the fate of the Lou Family.
“Who was it that said even without this money they could still save Lou Family from danger?” She said sarcastically: “Lou Guohui, it was you who said all this.
Since you’re so capable, why care about the money Jiang Zhongyu left me?”
Lou Ruozi grew more agitated as she spoke, “If you had been capable back then, I wouldn’t have had to marry Jiang Zhongyu and have the Lou Family rely on the Jiang Family!
After you had strengthened your wings, you had me divorce him, and now that he’s dead, you still rely on him.
Lou Guohui, you just won’t admit it; regardless of the past or present, you’re no match for Jiang Zhongyu!”
“Slap!”
A loud noise rang out in the living room!
Lou Guohui slapped the table with his hand.
Lou Ruozi flinched.
“I’m not as good as him?”
Lou Guohui’s face darkened, a chilling aura emanating from him.
In his life, the thing he hated most was being told that he wasn’t as good as Jiang Zhongyu!
And to have it said by the woman he loved was like a knife to the chest!
“Yes, you’re not as good as him!”
Lou Ruozi, extremely uncomfortable, blurted out so much in the heat of the moment.
Hearing this, Lou Guohui’s face turned even uglier.
Yet as if Lou Ruozi didn’t see it, she continued: “If you were really capable, you wouldn’t have sent me to his bed, have me sleep with him, and then marry him.
But I must admit, those few years at the Jiang Family were good; although I did not love him, he treated me extremely well, never saying a harsh word to me.
Moreover, I didn’t have to assist with the company, I just had to be a good rich wife at home.
But you?
You’ve used me over and over again!
You say you love me, but now I really question whether it’s me that you love, or the value I bring?”
“The you back then wasn’t his match, and the you now are even less so compared to me and his son,”
Lou Ruozhi put on a desperate air, spitting out words without filtering them through her brain, each sentence brimming with sarcasm.
She didn’t know why she had become this way, but she couldn’t control her emotions.
Thus, whatever she had in her heart, it all burst out without restraint.
“And even in death, he left me an inheritance of fifty billion.
What about you?
What have you left me?
Nothing at all?
You still have to rely on me to beg Jiang Yan, to ask him to let the Lou Family off the hook.
So, with what do you plan to contend with the Jiang Family?”
“Back then, you could sell me to Jiang Zhongyu, but now, who can you send?
Do you think Jiang Yan would still recognize me as his mother?
Do you think he would let the Lou Family off just because I am his birth mother?
Let me tell you, Lou Guohui, it’s impossible!”
“Jiang Yan would rather I kept my distance from him, would rather I died along with his dad.
Otherwise, why do you think he went to such lengths to plan for our divorce?
He’s just avenging his father now, taking his revenge on the two of us, because if it weren’t for your tampering with that car in Jiang Zhongyu, he might not have died at that time.
Maybe he would be living longer than all of us now!”
Lou Guohui, not sure which comment it was, suddenly erupted in anger, his voice stern and fierce: “Shut up!”
Lou Ruozhi responded coldly, “What, are you scared now?
Everyone’s dead, and there’s no proof.
What are you afraid of?
If only you had been more ruthless back then and got rid of Jiang Yan as well, he wouldn’t be a problem for you now.
But sadly, he’s got a strong life force.”
Lou Guohui’s lips pressed into a tight line, and his eyes turned dark and unsettling.
“…”
At this moment, neither of them realized that Lou Ziang was standing at the vestibule.
After receiving a call from the housekeeper that Lou Ruozhi and Lou Guohui were quarrelling at home, he rushed back.
In these past twenty-odd years, he had never seen them argue before, except for that incident at the charity dinner last time.
Yet he never expected to overhear such a conversation.
Even now, he was unaware of their divorce, nor did he know about the fifty billion inheritance.
He only found out about all this just now.
Additionally, there was another obscure and sensitive matter, which also took him by surprise.
After listening for a while longer, he finally stepped forward and entered.
When Mr.
and Mrs.
Lou saw him, they were both taken aback.
Lou Ruozhi looked at her son and said with some discomfort, “Ziang, why have you come back?”
She didn’t want Lou Ziang to know about her quarrel with Lou Guohui, nor did she want to add to her son’s worries.
Lou Ziang looked at her and said, “I heard you were arguing, so I came back to check on you.”
“…”
The room fell into silence momentarily.
Then, Lou Ziang spoke again, “Mom and Dad, you don’t have to argue anymore.
I will take care of the company’s problems.
You also don’t need to get a divorce.”
Hearing this, Lou Guohui looked up at him, narrowing his eyes slightly, puzzled, “How will you solve it?”
In recent days, at the company, he had not seen his son around.
Moreover, as he had been very busy due to financial problems, he hadn’t had the time to concern himself with whatever his son was doing.
Lou Ziang replied, “The funds I withdrew from the company, they are going to be credited this afternoon, back into the company’s account.
Additionally, there will be another five hundred million credited to the company’s account as well.
This money will be enough for the Lou Family to tide over this crisis.”
Lou Guohui was stunned and in disbelief, “Where did you get the money?”
Lou Ziang responded, “Dad, you don’t need to worry about that, and you don’t have to be concerned.
This money is quite clean.”
After all, it wasn’t a small amount of money, and it was natural for Lou Guohui to be worried, but since his son had said so, he had no reason not to trust his own child.
——
Three o’clock in the afternoon.
DK Building’s top floor.
Although it was Sunday, there was an international meeting today, and Jiang Yan had no choice but to return to the office.
The meeting had just ended five minutes ago.
At this moment, Jiang Qi also knocked on the door and walked in.
Jiang Qi looked at the man sitting in front of the desk and respectfully said, “Master, twenty minutes ago, the Lou Family’s account received a ten-billion fund injection, which came from overseas.
I’ve just had someone check, it is indeed from the charity organization we investigated before.
It might be Lou Ziang’s move.”
Jiang Yan was a bit surprised to hear this.
It seems he underestimated Lou Ziang, who could actually gather ten billion in funds.
The man leaned back in his chair, his expression dim, his voice cold and sharp, “Then find an excuse to freeze their funds.”
If he could gather the funds, he naturally had a way to let him see the money but not be able to touch it.
Jiang Qi nodded at this and said, “Understood, I will take care of it immediately.”
At the same time, he couldn’t help but sigh that of all people, their Master was not the one to provoke.
Because their Master always had ways to cut off your retreat.
The Lou Family was really unlucky, but they got what they deserved.
…
Jiang Qi acted quickly, made a phone call, gave some instructions, and it was done.
Around four o’clock, he received the news that the Lou Family’s funds had been frozen.
He reported to Jiang Yan at the first opportunity.
Meanwhile, after the funds were injected, Lou Guohui went to the company and held a brief meeting.
However, during his meeting, the company’s account was frozen by government departments.
By the time he finished the meeting, the finance director had already reported the matter to him.
Lou Guohui was so angry that he couldn’t catch his breath, choking in his throat, and he fainted on the spot before being rushed to the hospital.
This news quickly reached Jiang Yan’s ears.
Jiang Yan simply responded with a nonchalant “Hmm,” showing no excess emotion.
At Gold-plated Club.
He was currently with Gu Beiyan, along with Wan Muqi, Xiao Si, and a few others.
Therefore, when Jiang Feng reported the situation, the group was also informed.
Gu Beiyan clicked his tongue and chuckled, “Is the old guy that weak against scares?”
Wan Muqi snorted with laughter, “It doesn’t have much to do with whether he can take a scare or not, at most it’s a case of rage causing heart trouble.”
“Could it be anything but rage causing heart trouble?” Xiao Si said nonchalantly, half lying on the sofa and glancing at the silent Jiang Yan, then continued, “With his handling, even a person with the best temperament can’t bear it.
It’s like being utterly poor, suddenly getting some money, but before it even warms up, it’s suddenly seized.
Even someone with a good temperament would break down.”
“Ah Yan’s move is really slick, playing with people’s minds.
So, you guys be careful in the future, provoke anyone but this guy.
Watch out or you might lose so bad that you won’t even have money to buy underwear.
I’m just saying in advance, bros, I won’t have money to lend you.”
Gu Beiyan and Wan Muqi rolled their eyes at him, letting him experience it on his own.
Xiao Si didn’t care about these things.
He was stingy, and they knew it wasn’t new.
At the hospital.
Lou Guohui was soon awake after being sent to the hospital.
Lou Ruozhi and Lou Ziang rushed to the hospital as soon as they could.
“Are you Lou Guohui’s family?” A male doctor suddenly appeared and asked.
Lou Ziang nodded, “I’m his son.
Is there something wrong?”
The doctor gestured, and the two went out.
The male doctor looked at Lou Ziang and said, “Since your father passed out suddenly and was brought into the hospital, we immediately did a CT scan of his brain.
Now the results are out…
We have found a shadow in your father’s brain, it is suspected to be a tumor, but further detailed examinations are needed to diagnose what kind of tumor it is, whether benign or malignant, we currently don’t know yet.
So for now, I want to communicate with you as his family to see what you’re planning to do…”
