Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yan Cheng’s eyes flashed. He didn’t expect her to see through him. However, he had already used that thing for more than ten years and couldn’t quit it. He didn’t tell Song Jiaren this since there was no need.
“Thave plans tomorrow, so I’ll go back first. Thank you for today’s matter. If you need me in the future, just let me know.” After saying that, Song Jiaren remembered that she had said the same thing to Jiang Ye. It seemed like she had been owing people favors recently. This was not a good sign.
Yan Cheng knew that this woman was not someone who relied on others. He did not stop her from leaving and only made a few requests when she left.
Song Jiaren, who had already gotten into the car and returned, shook her head in amusement. In the end, Yan Cheng asked her one last time not to let any man other than him have any intimate contact with her. She couldn’t say that she was the woman of the Jiang family’s young master and had to call
him every day. In the end, he even specially said that she should stay away from Jiang Ye.
‘Wen Qing personally sent her back. Song Jiaren stood downstairs of the hotel and looked at the eighth floor and her room. She sighed and climbed up resignedly.
‘When she returned to her room, the sky was already bright. Song Jiaren, who had been tormented the entire night, laid on the bed and fell asleep almost instantly. The moment she knew that Song Meiyu was safe, she felt relieved.
It was already afternoon when she woke up. There was a commotion outside the room. She washed up and walked out of the room to see Jiang Ye, who was confronting the bodyguards.
Jiang Ye saw her and said exaggeratedly, “You’re finally awake. What have you been doing since yesterday? You’re so tired that you slept all the way to the afternoon.”
Song Jiaren wasn’t sure if he knew that she had gone out yesterday. When she heard this, she looked at him seriously. She didn’t know if he really didn’t know or if he was just pretending too well. Song Jiaren didn’t see through him. She smiled casually and said, “I’m just too tired recently. What are you
guys doing?”
‘The bodyguards stepped forward and said, “Miss Shen, Young Master invites you in.”
Song Jiaren nodded. “Alright.”
Jiang Ye said, “They’re from the Jiang family. When did you get involved with them?”
She didn’t tell him the truth. Instead, she said, “At the last banquet. This is thanks to you.”
Jiang Ye’s gaze changed as he sized up Song Jiaren. Song Jiaren naturally noticed and allowed him to size her up openly. She was also wondering what his goal was.
Song Jiaren left with the bodyguards. She did not go to the Jiang family or the hospital. Instead, she was brought to a private villa. As soon as she entered the room, the door was closed. The bodyguards stood at the door. No matter what Song Jiaren asked or how she threatened them, no one spoke.
Song Jiaren looked at the bodyguards who were like pillars. It seemed that someone had specially instructed them not to answer her or to wander around this villa. This villa was not as luxurious as the Jiang family’s. It had a very warm and homely feeling.
Without thinking, she knew that it was Jiang Zhe, who had asked someone to bring her here. He didn’t seem to be in such a hurry to treat Old Master Jiang’s illness, or perhaps he hadn’t gotten what he wanted yet, and she was his bargaining chip in exchange for this.
‘What Old Master Jiang had, what Jiang Zhe wanted… was the position of the head of the Jiang family.
Song Jiaren froze. She knew now that Jiang Zhe wanted to use her ability to save Old Master Jiang’s life as a bargaining chip in exchange for Old Master Jiang to give control of the Jiang family to him.
She sneered. No matter how they schemed, she would not let them have their way in the end. However, wouldn’t it be more interesting to let the Jiang family fall into their hands?
Song Jiaren didn’t wait long. The sound of a car driving in made her go out and take a look. She happened to see Jiang Zhe getting off the car. At this moment, he was all smiles and he looked very smug. It was a stark contrast from the dispirited look he had yesterday.
‘When he saw Song Jiaren, he happily went up and gave her a hug. He wasn’t angry when she dodged. Instead, he smiled and said, “I’m sorry. I was rude just now, but I was too happy. You’re simply my lucky star.”
Song Jiaren asked dubiously, “Young Master Jiang, what do you mean?”
