Age of Rebirth: The Stepmother of the Sick Beauty Only Wants Salted Fish

Chapter 1187 Are You so Sure?

Jiang Boxuan pursed his lips and had to tell the truth: "Actually, it was Tingting who wanted to take us back."

"Tingting? Why did she want to go back to China? Did something happen?"

Wang Xinlan was very nervous.

"John and Tingting divorced. The apparent reason was that Tingting had not given birth to a child since marriage. In fact, John's family found a new woman for him, and the other party's family was willing to pay to help John turn around the company's losses... In short, John's attitude was very firm. He proposed that as long as Tingting was willing to divorce, he would give her half of the property and be responsible for buying air tickets for our family, so that Tingting could take us back to China to live."

"You didn't say you would take your dad and your eldest brother away with you."

Wang Xinlan felt sad for her daughter's broken marriage. She said, "Do you think your dad and your eldest brother are a burden?"

"Don't you think so, mom?"

Jiang Boxuan asked back.

Wang Xinlan was speechless.

"My dad is addicted to gambling. As long as he doesn't quit gambling, our family will have a hard time. As for my eldest brother, he is basically a useless person now. If I bring him back, do I or Tingting have to support him for nothing? Mom, I don't want to live a life without dignity. When I return to China, I want to try to do business. Tingting said she would lend me money to support me to start my business."

"Take your eldest brother with you. If you can find your three nieces, bring them back together. It's not that mom is partial, but your eldest brother has run a company for many years. No matter what, he knows more than you. When we return to China, he can help you more or less."

"Then my dad..."

"Don't worry about that old thing!"

"Okay!"

Jiang Boxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded heavily.

...

Jiang Family Manor

Walking into the living room, the housekeeper first greeted Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya, then moved his eyes to Jiang Hongfa and said respectfully: "Master, A Kun is here."

Jiang Hongfa said "hmm" and signaled the housekeeper to take him into the living room.

After a while, Li Kun, or A Kun as the housekeeper called him, was led into the living room by the housekeeper. He greeted Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya, father and son, and started talking to Jiang Hongfa about the family of the second master Jiang. At the end, he asked Jiang Hongfa: "Master, what are your plans next?"

Hearing this, Jiang Hongfa frowned and thought for a moment, then moved his eyes to Jiang Boya: "What do you think?"

"It has been several months since my accident, and the mastermind is still at large. Could it be that you are still concerned about that worthless relationship?"

Hearing Jiang Boya's words, Jiang Hongfa immediately glared: "I I threw you into the slums, thinking that I would deal with you personally after you wake up. Since you have a clear attitude now, I will do as you say. "

Speaking of this, Jiang Hongfa turned his eyes back to Li Kun: "Follow the young master's words, as for..."

After a long while, Jiang Boya realized that Jiang Hongfa's eyes were moving to him again, and said lightly: "There is no need to care about irrelevant people."

Li Kun is a hired worker in the manor. Because of his good skills, Jiang Hongfa arranged him to take several people to guard the second master Jiang's family in the slums to prevent the second master Jiang's family from being idle and secretly doing something weird.

Of course, as long as it does not involve the manor, that is, the first house, the second master Jiang's family can do whatever they want.

Based on this, Jiang Hongfa did not even raise his eyelids when he learned that the second master Jiang sold his two concubines for gambling money, wanted to sell Jiang Bowen's daughter, and Jiang Bowen's wife ran away with three daughters... all these things.

"Yes."

Li Kun took the order, then stepped back two steps and turned to leave.

"It seems... we are not as cruel as your uncle, Bowen, and Boxun!"

As Li Kun disappeared outside the living room, Jiang Hongfa looked at Jiang Boya and sighed.

Hearing this, Jiang Boya's voice without any emotion overflowed from his lips and teeth: "Only Jiang Boxuan is barely able to do the job. I don't think they can live a good life when they return to China."

"Ah Kun mentioned Tingting."

Jiang Hongfa was reminding Jiang Boya.

The Tingting he mentioned was the daughter of the second master Jiang, named Pingting. She was a standard lady from a noble family, well-educated, elegant and dignified, but unfortunately, in the eyes of her husband John, this lady from a noble family is now nothing.

Otherwise, the marriage relationship between the two would not be dissolved.

"I know what you want to say."

Jiang Boya's expression showed no sign of abnormality. He said, "In addition to being good at eating, drinking and having fun, do you think Jiang Boxuan is a good business person?"

The implication was that even if Jiang Pingting could provide Jiang Boxuan with start-up capital, it would probably not be enough for Jiang Boxuan to pay.

Jiang Hongfa was silent.

At this time, Jiang Boya changed the subject: "I talked to Li Li, she said that the domestic policies have been getting better and better in the past two years, especially for foreign businessmen. If you have no objection, I would like to go to the city that Li Li mentioned to investigate for a while."

Jiang Hong asked: "Do you want to transfer our industry back to China?"

"Opening a company and setting up a factory in China does not necessarily mean transferring all the industries here. I just want to support national construction."

Jiang Boya spoke his heart out. Hearing this, Jiang Hong asked: "What does Li Li think?"

Jiang Boya's eyebrows were full of smiles: "My daughter naturally supports me, and she has said that her achievements in the future will not be less than mine."

"Two days ago, you mentioned that Li Li was investing. Was this just a casual remark, or is Li Li already doing it?"

Jiang Hongfa was really impressed by Jiang Li's business acumen and felt very proud. He did not expect that Jiang Li not only had a strong business acumen, but also had a talent for investment that was not comparable to that of ordinary people.

"Li Li didn't tell me specifically, but she accepted the funds I provided."

Jiang Boya didn't know that accepting the funds he provided was not necessary for Jiang Li, but that if Jiang Li didn't do so, he wouldn't be able to explain the source of the "funds" in her hands.

That is to use the gold bars stored in the system space.

Jiang Hongfa had a smile on his face: "Li Li's future achievements will definitely far exceed those of you and me."

"Are you so sure?"

Jiang Boya asked with a smile.

"Do you think Li Li will lose to you?" Jiang Hongfa raised his eyebrows: "How dare you say this in front of Li Li?"

"I'm not stupid."

Shaking his head, Jiang Boya glanced upstairs, his eyes full of tenderness and doting. He said: "Li Li is my precious daughter. I naturally believe in her abilities. After all, the waves behind her push the waves ahead, and each generation gets better and better than the last." Strong, I firmly believe it!”

"Only you can talk."

Jiang Hongfa smiled and shook his head.

"Just tell the truth!"

During the time he spent with Jiang Li, Jiang Boya deeply felt how outstanding his daughter was. To be honest, he laughed a lot when he was alone.

Like a fool, he burst out laughing.

Two days have passed since she met Jack in the mall. Jiang Li did not mention this person to Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya, but the bodyguard who followed her told Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya the whole thing without any concealment.

When Jack's identity was found out, Jiang Boya's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he wished he could overthrow the Davis family directly. However, Jiang Hongfa persuaded him to "be calm and don't be impatient".

reason?

Jack didn't know Jiang Li's current identity, but if they took action, they couldn't guarantee what the other party would think of, thus confirming the relationship between Jiang Li and the Jiang family.

However, in order to ensure Jiang Li's safety when traveling, the number of overt and covert bodyguards has increased.

"Knock knock knock!"

Before going to bed at night, Jiang Li decided to talk to Jiang Boya, so she knocked on Jiang Boya's door.

Almost instantly, the door opened from the inside.

"Li Li has something to do with dad?"

Jiang Boya was wearing a black shirt and black trousers. He looked at Jiang Li with smiles in his eyes.

"Um."

Jiang Li nodded lightly.

"Come in and talk."

When Jiang Li was greeted to come in, Jiang Boya's expression was unusually gentle.

"Did something happen at home?"

Before Jiang Boya could say anything, Jiang Li added, "For example, is there an enemy seeking revenge?"

Jiang Boya was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked with a smile: "Why do you have such an idea?"

"The number of bodyguards who follow me when I go out keeps increasing."

Looking directly into Jiang Boya's eyes, Jiang Li seemed to be saying, "Can you stop me from thinking too much about this?"

Jiang Boya smiled and curled up his lips: "Don't worry, you are not being targeted. Dad and your grandfather just want to protect you as much as possible, lest you encounter any accidents that we will regret."

"My daily life is basically between the school and the manor. Even when I go shopping, there are Comrade Zhou, Comrade Zhang, and Sister Song around. I don't think there is anything to worry about."

"The security situation in this country is not very good."

Jiang Boya casually pulled out an excuse.

"Are you sure you're not hiding something from me?"

Jiang Li's pretty eyebrows were raised slightly, and she said calmly: "Sometimes you think it's good for me, but in my opinion, it's not necessary. Do you understand what I mean?"

Jiang Boya pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Let's put it this way, if you really are hiding something from me, I hope you can tell me the truth so that I can have a plan. Otherwise, when I find out about this matter, I cannot guarantee the consequences."

His eyes were clear and transparent, Jiang Li's expression was light, and his tone was also light, and no fluctuation could be heard.

But Jiang Boya could tell how serious Jiang Li was. He moved the corners of his mouth and chose to keep half of it.

"There was a bit of a feud between the family and the Davis family, but the relationship was not at loggerheads. Your grandfather and I didn't choose to tell you about this just in case, and because we didn't want you to be stressed."

"Mr. Jiang is worried that the Davis family will kidnap me?"

"Um."

"But outsiders don't know my identity."

"There are so many people in the manor, I can't guarantee that anyone will leak anything outside."

"What kind of holiday?"

Jiang Li's eyelids drooped slightly, she rubbed her chin, and after a moment, she raised her eyes to look at Jiang Boya.

"Shopping malls are like battlefields."

Jiang Boya felt that what he said should dispel Jiang Li's idea of ​​continuing to ask.

In fact, Jiang Li did not ask any further questions after hearing this.

"I see."

Jiang Li nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "I'm going back to the room to rest, and Mr. Jiang will go to bed early."

After sending Jiang Li to the door and watching her open the door next door and walk in, Jiang Boya's tense heartstrings relaxed.

Telling the old man about such a stupid thing as being raped by a woman would have already made him lose face. If he mentioned it to his daughter again, he would be beaten to death and unable to speak.

After closing the door, Jiang Boya walked back and forth in the bedroom several times with his hands on his hips, unable to calm down.

Lisa Davis!

Damn woman, she took advantage of him and even killed him, that's all, but why did she bring him trouble?

As a result, he now has to lie to his precious daughter!

With his face changing from one to another, Jiang Boya was full of disgust towards Miss Davis, thinking that she was stupid. She chose to give birth to a child when she was pregnant under such circumstances...

Stop, Jiang Boya rubbed his forehead fiercely, and secretly vowed that once Lisa Davis made any plans after learning Jiang Li's identity, the Davis family would disappear from the business world!

A fierce look flashed in his eyes, Jiang Boya gathered his thoughts, took out his bathrobe and went into the bathroom.

...

"Stop the car!"

After a day of study, Jiang Li sat in the car all the way back to the Jiang family manor. Suddenly, she shouted softly.

Zhou Heng heard it and stepped on the brakes.

"What's wrong?"

Song Sa and Jiang Li were sitting in the back seat together. Seeing Jiang Li looking out the window, his expression was obviously a little complicated, he couldn't help asking.

"There's a person lying on the side of the road."

Looking at the man's face, Jiang Li's eyes became more complicated.

Zhou Heng: "I'll go and see."

Zhang Lei was sitting in the passenger seat. When he heard Zhou Heng's words, he said, "Together."

Getting out of the car and walking around the front of the car, he and Zhou Heng stood beside the woman who was curled up on the ground, not knowing whether she was dead or alive.

Yes, the person lying on the side of the road was indeed a woman.

She was in a mess, lying on her side with her knees hugged, and her face happened to be facing the road. Although she was very thin, it was not difficult for Jiang Li to recognize who she was.

"She is still breathing."

Zhou Heng knocked on the window of Jiang Li's car: "Comrade Jiang, are you going to take her back to the manor?"

"No."

Jiang Li shook his head and then said: "Carry her to the car behind and send her to the nearest hospital for the doctor to check. If there is no major problem, please send her to the embassy by Comrade Zhang."

"Comrade Jiang knows her?"

Zhou Heng asked after hearing Jiang Li's words.

"Yeah."

Jiang Li nodded, she looked at Song Sa, then looked at Zhang Lei and Zhou Heng, and said without emotion: "We are acquaintances."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Li reminded Zhang Lei: "If she wakes up, there is no need to mention me in front of her."

Zhang Lei: "Comrade Jiang wants to send her back to my country through our embassy?"

Jiang Li said "yes" lightly, and said to Zhang Lei: "Her name is Xu Chunxia, ​​and she lives in..."

That's right, the woman lying unconscious on the side of the road is not someone else, but Xu Chunxia.

"Okay, I will do what Comrade Jiang said."

After noting down Jiang Li's place of origin and the specific address of Xu Chunxia's home, Zhang Lei and Zhou Heng carried the person to a car behind.

Song Sa suddenly said: "It's your fellow villager."

She didn't ask, she used a statement.

"From the same village."

Jiang Li responded.

"Why did you run to a foreign country?"

Song Sa was purely curious.

"I don't know the details, but she once dated a foreigner."

Speaking of this, Jiang Li paused for a moment, and then continued: "Do you remember the man who shamelessly talked to me in the mall that day?"

Song Sa nodded.

"He is the foreigner I just mentioned."

Jiang Li knew that Xu Chunxia didn't have much brains, but she didn't expect that this person was so bold as to follow a foreigner across the ocean to this foreign country and make herself so embarrassed.

Song Sa: "From what we saw just now, the female comrade was probably abandoned by someone!"

"Maybe."

Jiang Li's expression was indifferent. Seeing Zhou Heng sitting back in the passenger seat, he didn't say anything else.

There were originally two black cars following behind. Because they wanted to take Xu Chunxia to the hospital, the bodyguards in one of the cars got out and squeezed into another car.

Only the driver was left to drive Zhang Lei and Xu Chunxia to a nearby hospital.

More than half an hour later.

Xu Chunxia woke up on the hospital bed.

"You woke up?!"

Zhang Lei walked in from outside the ward and saw Xu Chunxia opened her eyes. He looked stern and locked his eyes on Xu Chunxia's face: "When your fever subsides, I will send you to our embassy, ​​and then the comrades in the embassy will arrange for you to return home."

"Where... is this?"

"Hospital."

"Who are you?"

Xu Chunxia looked very weak. She looked at Zhang Lei with a slightly stunned look in her eyes: "Did you save me?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, and it doesn't matter whether I saved you or not. Just take your IV drip."

Zhang Lei put the bread and milk in his hand on the cabinet beside the bed.

Xu Chunxia was very hungry. She turned her head to look at the bread and milk on the cabinet. Her stomach made a "gurgling" sound and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

Aware that Zhang Lei was looking at her, Xu Chunxia's cheeks were hot. She opened her mouth and explained: "I haven't eaten properly for a long time."

Zhang Lei didn't say anything. He picked up the bread, tore open the packaging bag, and then handed it to Xu Chunxia's hand that was not hanging the IV.

"Thank you... Thank you! My name is Jiang Lei, what's your name?"

After taking the bread and taking a bite, Xu Chunxia's eyes fell on the milk again.

Zhang Lei pursed his lips tightly, inserted a straw into the milk, and reached out to help Xu Chunxia sit on the bed.

"The milk is here for you, you can drink it yourself."

"Oh."

Xu Chunxia nodded.

After eating and drinking, tears fell from her eyes, and she choked and said: "I was deceived by a foreigner to come here. He treated me very well in our country and said he would marry me. As a result, he deceived me to his country, beat and scolded me, and locked me up..."

Zhang Lei did not say anything, standing aside expressionlessly, listening to Xu Chunxia crying.

"...After I jumped out of the window and escaped, I met a man from our country on the street. He said he would help me return to my country, so I followed him. I didn't expect that he was also a liar.

Not only did he and his family rob me of all the valuables, but they also asked me to be a maid to serve their family. Woo hoo... I thought I would die on the roadside. Fortunately, you saved me. Don’t worry, wait for me. When I return to China, I will let my mother thank you... My stepfather is a high-ranking official in Beicheng, and my family lives in a small building in the compound..."

Xu Chunxia burst into tears, crying very sadly.

The more Zhang Lei listened, the more something was wrong. After Xu Chunxia stopped crying, he said, "I'm going out."

Jiang Family Manor.

As soon as Jiang Li stepped into the living room, she heard the landline ringing. The next moment, she saw Jiang Boya waving to her: "It's for you."

Without thinking much, Jiang Li stepped forward and took the microphone handed over by Jiang Boya: "Hello..."

As soon as he heard Zhang Lei's voice, Jiang Li's facial expression changed imperceptibly: "You said, I'm listening... don't worry so much,

She doesn't want to go back to her hometown and let her do whatever she wants... Yes, just tell the comrades at the embassy like that. As long as she returns to the country, it's her own business what she wants to do... Well, that's it, there's nothing else. Bar? Okay, I'll hang up then! "

"You need help from the embassy?"

Jiang Boya looked puzzled and her tone was sour: "Can't dad help you?"

"On the way back, I saw an acquaintance fainted on the roadside. I asked Comrade Zhang to take the person to the nearest hospital for treatment, and then send him to the Chinese embassy, ​​where he would be sent back to the country through comrades in the embassy."

Jiang Li told Jiang Boya truthfully.

Clinker, Jiang Boya felt aggrieved: "Dad can also help you send the person back."

"I didn't think of asking you at that time. Besides, she probably wasn't brought here through proper channels. If she really asked you for help, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Boya, waiting for the other party's answer.

"this……"

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Boya said with a smile: "Isn't this simple?! Send the person to a cargo ship, and she will naturally return to the country."

Jiang Li asked: "What should you do if something happens to someone on the way?"

Jiang Boya: "..." remained silent for a long time.

"Do you have nothing to say?"

Jiang Li smiled and curved his lips: "It will be much easier for the comrades in the embassy to handle this matter. Besides, the acquaintance I mentioned... I don't actually have a good relationship with her, so I didn't leave her alone on the roadside. She is left to die, and I have done my best to be kind and righteous, so how can I bother you with her?"

"Li Li!"

Jiang Boya looked at Jiang Li quietly for a while, and he pretended to be serious: "Do you have to use honorifics with dad? Isn't this too alienating?!"

"I think it's okay."

Jiang Li looked natural and said with a smile: "Use honorifics. This is a kind of politeness and also my respect for you."

"Dad doesn't need this kind of politeness, and I don't need you to respect me like this. I like you to be casual in front of me."

This is his precious daughter, and she is not a relative or guest. If she talks politely in daily interactions, it will appear rigid and lose her warmth. He doesn't need it!

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Mr. Jiang!"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I'll go upstairs and change clothes."

"Be careful going upstairs."

Jiang Boya warned in a gentle voice.

"Know it!"

Qingyue's pleasant voice came out from between Jiang Li's teeth. She took Song Sa up to the second floor with light steps.

"Comrade Jiang, did something happen to Zhang Lei?"

Song Sa followed Jiang Li into Jiang Li's bedroom. She asked casually. Seeing the worry in her eyes, Jiang Li waved his hand: "It's nothing serious. It's just that Xu Chunxia said that her home was in Beicheng and that her stepfather was a high official. She said that when she returns to China, her mother will thank Comrade Zhang."

"Didn't you say that lesbian is from the same village as you?"

Song Sa was puzzled.

"We are from the same village, but she adopted a rich mother in Beicheng, so from then on she claimed to be from the city."

Jiang Li went to the cloakroom to get some comfortable home clothes and changed into them. She said to Song Sa, "I asked Comrade Zhang not to care what she said and just leave the person in the hands of the comrades in the embassy."
