Chapter 625: Chapter 624: The Wheel of Fortune Turns
After Wan Chu’er took the money for saving her life from Andrew, she left without any hesitation, ignoring Andrew’s pleas.
Andrew waited for a while, then reluctantly moved to the front of his bodyguard. The bodyguard was already dead, and Andrew took out a phone from his pocket since Wan Chu’er had taken his own phone.
After calling his brother, he waited for his brother to send someone to pick him up.
Andrew thought for a moment, then decided to call Ming Wan, but no matter what, no one answered Ming Wan’s phone, so he had to give up.
After waiting for a long time, he finally saw two subordinates arrive.
After receiving treatment at a private hospital, Andrew recalled what Wan Chu’er had said before she left and arranged for someone to investigate Sara. It was indeed found that Sara was still entangled with her ex-husband, frequently giving him tip-offs.
Sara not only tried to lure Ming Wan out of Luozi Castle to hand over to her ex-husband but also tipped off her ex-husband to intercept and assassinate Ming Wan on the way.
This kind of backstabbing behavior made Andrew very angry. In this turmoil, Sara’s ex-husband had set many obstacles for him, causing several of his brothers to die at the hands of the opponent.
So, Andrew, without consulting his father and brother, directly arranged for the assassination of Sara’s ex-husband.
When Sara found out it was her brother who had arranged for her lover to be killed, she came back and furiously questioned Andrew. Andrew frankly said that he should have done this long ago.
Sara was infuriated and finally sneered, "You coward, all you can do is bully me. If you have the guts, then win Ming Wan back, or kill Lillian!"
"But you don’t dare, you’re just a coward!"
After saying this, Sara ran out.
Sara’s words provoked Andrew. He realized that the Lillian family also secretly wanted to kill Ming Wan. Even though he knew Lillian was no good, he had to consider the overall situation and endure the humiliation because the two families had just allied.
This conflict had severely damaged both their family and the Lillian family’s forces, while their adversaries had benefited from the conflict and risen from a second-rate gang to a first-rate one, gaining momentum.
He knew that he couldn’t afford any internal strife with the Lillian family at this time, but he couldn’t swallow this resentment. Moreover, due to Ming Wan’s situation, Lillian often spoke to him with sarcasm, limiting many of his actions.
He was already dissatisfied, and with Sara’s provocation, his frustration grew stronger.
After brooding for a long time, Andrew made a ridiculous decision. He instructed his trusted aides to arrange for someone to seduce Lillian, to catch her in the act and break free of her control.
Unexpectedly, their enemy found out about this plan. Because of this, the Andrew family and the Lillian family almost broke their alliance, and the alliance wasn’t as solid as before.
Instead, they lost some of their interests, and much later, Andrew discovered that the lost interests were connected to Ming Wan’s brother, finally realizing that he had been played by Ming Wan and her brother together, but he was helpless.
After more than ten hours of flying, Wan Chu’er and Ming Wan finally set foot on their homeland again. Although this trip only lasted a few days, she felt as if a long time had passed.
Upon exiting the airport, she saw the people and cars the Crown Prince had sent to pick up Ming Wan, but looked around and saw no one there to pick her up.
It shouldn’t have been this way—Li Shan knew she was coming back, he would have told Jiang Kechu, so why didn’t Jiang Kechu come to pick her up? Was he too busy?
Wan Chu’er pursed her lips, feeling a little lost.
In the end, it was Ming Wan who gave her a ride and dropped her off at the old house.
As she left, Ming Wan said, "Can I visit you in the future?"
"No problem."
Back home, she took a hot bath, washing away all the dust and fatigue from her journey. Only then did she go talk to the old man.
She recounted everything that happened in Y Country to the old man. "The Crown Prince is really scummy, using his own sister as bait to throw into the wolf pack, creating chaos and profiting from it."
Her grandfather said, "He has been like this since he was a child. Such a person is best suited to be a businessman or a politician."
Then, changing the topic, "This brat even has the audacity to extend his hand abroad. He’s quite daring."
Seeing her looking somewhat tired, the old man sent her off to rest.
Leaving the study, Wan Chu’er went to find Li Shan. "Brother Lishan, didn’t you tell Jiang Kechu that I was coming back?"
Li Shan replied, "Jiang Kechu didn’t pick you up?"
"No."
"He told me he would pick you up, so I didn’t arrange anyone, probably he received a last-minute task."
"Oh, okay." Wan Chu’er had to accept this explanation.
She couldn’t rest, so she drove straight to the compound, as it had been a long time since she had seen the twins, and she missed them dearly, wondering if the little ones missed her too.
Unexpectedly, upon reaching the compound, she saw Jiang Kechu playing with the twins.
There was no urgent task at all! Wan Chu’er slightly frowned, then quickly smiled and shouted:
"Chuanqi, Hunter, Mommy’s back!"
Hearing her voice, the father and the two children turned to look at her, and then Chuanqi and Hunter joyfully ran towards her.
"Mommy!"
"Mommy!"
The two little ones each hugged one of her legs while Wan Chu’er bent down, hugging them tightly.
"Mommy, where did you go? We haven’t seen you for several days, I missed you so much," the chubby little girl, Chuanqi, said coquettishly.
Wan Chu’er smiled, "Mommy misses you and your brother too. From now on, Mommy will stay with both of you."
"Great!"
Wan Chu’er deliberately ignored Jiang Kechu, waiting for him to initiate a conversation. However, after waiting for a long time, she didn’t hear Jiang Kechu speak, or even see him glance sideways to approach her. Instead, Mrs. Jiang came out and warmly greeted her, leaving her feeling disappointed.
She thought again, suspecting that Jiang Kechu must be angry with her, and disappointment turned to cautious appeasement.
"I’m back." She seized a chance to quietly tell Jiang Kechu.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Kechu just flatly "Oh’d" without further comment, seemingly not caring about her return.
Wan Chu’er wanted to clarify things with him, but there were children and Mrs. Jiang around, making it inappropriate to spill everything right then, so she suppressed her unease, planning to talk after getting home.
Finally having finished dinner and playing for a while, Wan Chu’er coaxed Chuanqi and Hunter to go home with her.
On the way, Jiang Kechu remained indifferent, neither warm nor cold towards her.
"Are you still mad at me? Is that why you’re deliberately ignoring me?" Wan Chu’er couldn’t help but ask.
