Chapter 21: I’ll Bring Miss Jiang to Yu Garden to Rest

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

If saving people is a crime, I admit I’m a criminal.

Was he desperate to save someone?

Jiang Yi had already cursed Fu Xiting’s eighteen generations of ancestors in her heart.

“If that’s the case, I really can’t agree with Mr. Fu’s eagerness to save people.”

“Boss.” Coincidentally, Guan Qing pushed open the door and entered.

As soon as he entered, he felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right.

He took two steps back, wanting to get out.

“Secretary Guan, just say it.”

Jiang Yi called out to Guan Qing.

She suppressed his thoughts of leaving and did not give him any way out.

Guan Qing stopped in his tracks. Coincidentally, Jiang Ze’s gaze landed on him.

He glanced at Fu Xiting, conflicted and hesitant in his eyes.

“Chairman Fu, the driver… is an employee of our company.”

Jiang Yi smiled. The person who was originally half-lying on the bed sat up straight and looked at Fu Xiting, ready to start a verbal spar.

“Tell the police that they should proceed.”

“Yes,” Guan Qing immediately replied and turned to leave.

Jiang Yi’s words were stuck in her throat.

Seeing that the two of them were echoing each other, there was no room for her to speak.

“Mr. Fu…” Jiang Yi’s voice rose slightly as she looked at Fu Xiting with anger in her eyes.

Fu Xiting did not seem to see it. He turned to look at Jiang Ze. “I’m sorry for what happened. If Mr. Jiang doesn’t mind, I’ll bring Miss Jiang to Yu Garden to recuperate. In a few days, she’ll definitely return.”

“I have to ask for Yiyi’s opinion.” Jiang Ze did not dare to make a rash decision. After all, his wife and children were the most important in his life.

Seek Jiang Yi’s opinion?

No, no, no, no. Jiang Yi would not agree.

Since Fu Xiting had actually spoken today, he naturally had to achieve his goal.

“I’ve been engaged to Jiang Yi for a long time and haven’t really interacted with her. Since the Jiang family is interested in a marriage alliance, they should show some sincerity. What do you think, Mr. Jiang?”

Fu Xiting’s words were still considered gentle.

However, despite this gentleness, the meaning was threatening.

In the eyes of the Jiang family, Fu Xiting was a god.

He controlled the life and death of the family.

Faced with Fu Xiting’s threat, Jiang Ze could not fight back at all.

Since the Jiang family had the intention to form a marriage alliance, they should show some sincerity. Usually, this sentence should be said by others because a person of Fu Xiting’s status would not easily lower himself to threaten anyone.

But today was an exception.

For some reason, he saw a sense of uncertainty in Jiang Yi that he had not felt for a long time.

Based on Fu Xiting’s habits, anything that was uncertain was a threat.

Threatening items could either be disposed of or controlled by hand.

Obviously, Jiang Yi was the latter.

Fu Xiting wanted to keep her by his side to control her.

Jiang Yi was shocked.

During her years as a negotiator, she had seen too many human transactions.

That included discussing the price of someone in front of the person involved and trading people as goods.

In their eyes, the humans were like emotionless goods and should not exist in this world.

She had always thought that she would be in a position of power.

She would not become a fish on the chopping board and be at the mercy of others. But today—everything had changed.

She was like an emotionless object. The two men in front of her were talking to her face to face.

“Since the Jiang family has already made a stance, what about Mr. Fu? Both of you are making your stance clear for your own benefits. Does that mean that there’s no need for me to exist as a sacrifice?”

Jiang Yi looked at Jiang Ze with thick killing intent. Yes, killing intent.

Jiang Ze thought that he had seen wrongly, but when his gaze landed on her again, he realized that he had not seen wrongly.

“Yiyi…” Jiang Ze’s voice sounded helpless.

“I’ve said enough. I’ll wait for Miss Jiang at Yu Garden.” Fu Xiting was obviously not prepared to participate in the argument between the father and daughter.

When he opened the door and walked out, he saw Guan Qing frowning.

His face was filled with worry.

Jiang Yi watched Fu Xiting leave the ward. She had nowhere to vent her anger and could only watch him leave.

The ward fell silent.

Jiang Yi stared at Jiang Ze without saying a word.

What about Jiang Ze? He traded silence for everything.

“I want to be alone,” Jiang Yi said after a long silence.

“Yiyi, if possible, I also hope that I have other choices. You’ll know when you stand in my position. There are many things that I can’t reject.”

Jiang Ze cared about Jiang Yi. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t have said this at all.

But the more it was like this, the more heartbreaking it was.

If she were in his position?

In his position, Jiang Yi couldn’t understand either. Any normal person wouldn’t force their daughter into a marriage alliance.

Moreover, he even did it despite knowing that it was a tiger’s den.

Jiang Yi felt like she was a f*cking dog.

The novels she read when she was studying were as beautiful as they could be.

When it came to her, other than leveling up and fighting monsters, she would only encounter idiots.

It was true that romance novels killed people.

Not long after Jiang Ze left, the door of the ward was pushed open again.

Old Master Jiang was also in this hospital. When Jiang Si and Xu Zhi heard the news, they rushed over without stopping.

When she saw Jiang Yi lying on the bed, joy rushed to her head.

“Is this the reversal of fortune? Will the wicked be punished by the wicked?” Jiang Si looked at Jiang Yi mockingly.

Jiang Yi, who had been resting with her eyes closed to adjust her emotions, slowly opened her eyes when she heard Jiang Si’s words. “That’s right. What goes around comes around. A group of idiots came to my ward today.”

Jiang Si choked. “You…”

“What? A fool who can’t even get your point across wants to learn how to quarrel like a normal person? If you’re a parrot, don’t pretend to be human.”

“Jiang Yi, you’re still so arrogant? Your parents aren’t around. Let’s see who’s protecting you.” Xu Zhi had long been unhappy with Jiang Yi, but unfortunately, the family was still reliant Jiang Ze to climb up the ranks. She tolerated the people from the eldest branch, but today, she finally bumped into an opportunity.

Naturally, she would not let it go so easily.

“You want to fight?” Jiang Yi could tell what Xu Zhi was thinking at a glance.

She curled her lips and smiled. “Do you believe me? If you dare to touch me, the person lying here will definitely be you.”

Jiang Yi lifted the blanket and sat on the bed. Without thinking, she pulled out the needle in her hand and walked barefoot towards Xu Zhi.

Her face, which was comparable to the King of Hell, stunned Xu Zhi for a moment.

“Yiyi…” Yi Tian had just finished arguing with Jiang Ze when she came in and saw this scene.

“Xu Zhi, are you done?”

“Yi Tian, your daughter just angered the old master until he was sent to the hospital and now she’s here herself. Do you think this is retribution?”

“I think you’re as bored as a dog. You can’t find Second Uncle’s woman outside, so you keep finding trouble with us! If Second Aunt needs help, just let me know. I might pity you.” Jiang Chuan came in from outside and suddenly reached out to push Xu Zhi away.

Bang! Xu Zhi hit the door.
