Chapter 1187 Are you so sure?
Jiang Boxuan pursed his lips and had to tell the truth: "Actually, Tingting wants to take us back."
“Tingting? Why did she want to return 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 son or a daughter since their marriage. In fact, John's family showed him a new woman, and the other family was willing to pay to help John turn around the company. Loss... In short, John's attitude is very firm. He proposed that as long as Tingting is willing to divorce, he will give her half of the property and be responsible for buying air tickets for our family so that Tingting can take us back to China. "
“You didn’t say just now that you were taking your dad and your eldest brother away with you.”
Wang Xinlan felt sad about the breakdown of her daughter's marriage. She said, "Do you feel that your dad and your eldest brother are a drag?"
“Don’t you think so, Mom?”
Jiang Boxuan asked rhetorically.
Wang Xinlan was speechless.
"My dad is addicted to gambling. If he doesn't stop gambling, our family will have a hard time. As for my eldest brother, he is basically a useless person now. Is it possible for me or Tingting to take him back for nothing? Support? Mom, I don’t want to live a life without dignity. When I return to China, I want to try to start a business. Tingting said that she will lend me money and support me to start my business.”
"Take your eldest brother with you. If we can find your three nieces, we will take them home together. It's not that Mom is partial, it's that your eldest brother has been running a company for many years. No matter how you say it, he knows more than you. When we return to China, more He can help you somewhat."
“Then my dad…”
“Don’t worry about that old guy!”
"good!"
Jiang Boxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded heavily.
…
Jiangjia Manor.
Walking into the living room, the housekeeper first said hello to Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya, then moved his eyes to Jiang Hongfa and said with a respectful expression: "Master, Akun is here."
Jiang Hong said "hmm" and motioned to the housekeeper to bring the person into the living room.
After a while, Li Kun, or A Kun in the housekeeper's mouth, was led into the living room by the housekeeper. He greeted Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya and his son, and started talking to Jiang Hongfa about Mr. Jiang's family. Finally, he asked Jiang Hongfa : "Master, what are your plans next?"
Hearing this, Jiang Hongfa frowned and thought for a moment, then turned 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, the old man, are still thinking about that worthless relationship?”
Hearing Jiang Boya's words, Jiang Hongfa immediately glared: "I threw people into the slums, thinking that I would wait for you to wake up and take care of them myself. Since you have a clear attitude now, let's do what you say."
Speaking of this, Jiang Hongfa turned his attention back to Li Kun: "Follow the young master's words. As for..."
After saying nothing for a long time, Jiang Boya noticed that Jiang Hongfa's eyes moved towards him again, and Jiang Boya said calmly: "There is no need to pay attention to irrelevant people."
Li Kun is a hired worker in the manor. Because of his good skills, Jiang Hongfa arranged for him to lead a few people to guard Mr. Jiang and his family in the slums, so as to prevent Mr. Jiang and his family from being idle and causing any trouble in secret.
Of course, as long as it doesn’t involve the manor, that is, the big house, Mr. Jiang Er and his family can do whatever they want.
Based on this, when Jiang Hongfa learned that Mr. Jiang Er had sold his two concubines to make gambling money, and that he wanted to sell Jiang Bowen's daughter, and that Jiang Bowen's wife had run away with her three daughters...this incident made her even more excited. Didn't lift it.
"yes."
Li Kun took the order, took two steps back, turned and left.
“It seems... we are not as cruel as your second uncle, Bowen, and Bo Xun!”
As Li Kun's figure disappeared outside the living room door, Jiang Hongfa looked at Jiang Boya and sighed deeply.
Hearing this, Jiang Boya's voice without any emotion escaped his lips and teeth: "Jiang Boxuan is the only one who can do the job. I don't think they can live a good life when they return to China."
“Akun mentioned that girl Tingting.”
Jiang Hongfa was reminding Jiang Boya.
And the Tingting he was talking about was the daughter of Mr. Jiang Er, named Pingting. She was a standard lady, well-educated, elegant and dignified. But it was a pity that this lady was not known by her name. In the eyes of John's husband, he is nothing now.
Otherwise, the marriage relationship between the two persons will not be dissolved.
“I know what you want to say.”
There was nothing strange about Jiang Boya's expression. He said, "Apart from Jiang Boxuan's proficiency in eating, drinking and having fun, when it comes to business, do you think he is a piece of cake?"
The implication is that even if Jiang Pingting can provide Jiang Boxuan with entrepreneurial capital, it may not be enough for Jiang Boxuan to compensate.
Jiang Hongfa was silent.
At this time, Jiang Boya changed the topic: "I talked with Li Li. She said that domestic policies have gotten better and better in the past two years, especially for foreign businessmen. If you have no objection, I would like to go to Li Li to speak Visit the city for a period of time.”
Jiang Hong asked: "Do you want to transfer our industry back to China?"
“Opening companies and factories in China does not necessarily mean transferring all the industries here. I just want to support national construction.”
Jiang Boya spoke what was in his heart. After 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. Is this just a casual comment, or has Li Li already been 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 would not 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 speak.”
Jiang Hongfa smiled and shook his head.
“Just tell the truth!”
During the time 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.
…
It has been two days 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 was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he wanted to overthrow the Davis family directly. However, Jiang Hongfa persuaded him, "Be patient and don't be impatient."
The reason?
Jack does not know Jiang Li's current identity, but if they take action here, there is no guarantee what the other party will think of, thus confirming the relationship between Jiang Li and the Jiang family.
However, in order to ensure the safety of Jiang Li's travels, 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.”
Hello Jiang Li to come in, Jiang Boya's expression was unusually gentle.
“Did something happen at home?”
Without waiting for Jiang Boya to make a voice, Jiang Li said, "For example, if you have revenge to the family?"
Hearing this, Jiang Boya was startled for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Why do you have such an idea?"
“The number of bodyguards following me increases again and again when I go out.”
Looking directly into Jiang Boya's eyes, Jiang Li seemed to be saying: "Can this not make me think too much?"
Jiang Boya smiled and curved 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 randomly pulled out an excuse.
“Are you sure you’re not hiding something from me?”
Jiang Li's pretty eyebrows were slightly raised, 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 hear how serious Jiang Li was. He moved the corners of his mouth and chose to keep half of the words.
“There was a bit of a feud between the family and the Davis family, but the relationship was not tense. Your grandfather and I didn’t choose to tell you about this just in case, and we didn’t want you to feel pressured.”
“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’m sure no one will leak anything outside.”
“What kind of festival?”
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."
Sent Jiang Li to the door and watched her open the next door and walk in, Jiang Boya's tense heartstrings relaxed.
Telling the old man 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.
Close 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!
That **** woman took advantage of him and spared his life, that's all, but why did she bring him trouble? So much so that he now has to lie to his precious daughter!
Jiang Boya's face changed from time to time. Jiang Boya was full of disgust towards Miss Davis. She felt that Miss Davis was mentally ill. She was pregnant with a child under such circumstances, but she still chose to give birth...
Stopping, Jiang Boya rubbed his forehead fiercely and swore secretly that once Lisa Davis had any idea after learning Jiang Li's identity, the Davis family would wait to disappear from the business world!
With a fierce look in his eyes, Jiang Boya collected his thoughts, took out his bathrobe and entered the bathroom.
…
“Stop!”
After a day of study, Jiang Li sat in the car and returned to Jiangjia Manor. Suddenly, she shouted softly.
Hearing this, Zhou Heng 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 complicated, so he couldn't help but ask.
“There was a man lying on the roadside.”
Looking at the man's face, Jiang Li's eyes became more complicated.
Zhou Heng: “I’ll go take a look.”
Zhang Lei was sitting in the passenger seat. When he heard Zhou Heng's words, he said, "Let's go together."
Getting out of the car and walking around in front of the car, he and Zhou Heng stood next to the woman who was curled up on the ground, not knowing whether she was dead or alive.
That’s right, the person lying on the roadside is indeed a woman.
She was in a mess, lying on her side with her knees in her arms, her face facing the road. Although she was very thin, it was not difficult for Jiang Li to identify who it was.
“Still breathing.”
Zhou Heng knocked on Jiang Li’s car window: “Comrade Jiang, are you going to take her back to the manor?”
"Need not."
Jiang Li shook his head and then said: "Carry her to the car at the back and take her to the nearest hospital for a doctor to take a look. If there is no major problem, please Comrade Zhang and then send her to the embassy."
“Do you know Comrade Jiang?”
After hearing what Jiang Li said, Zhou Heng asked.
"Um."
Jiang Li nodded. She glanced at Song Sa, then turned her gaze to Zhang Lei and Zhou Heng. She said without emotion, "They are acquaintances."
After a moment of silence, Jiang Li told Zhang Lei: "If she wakes up, there is no need to mention me in front of her."
Zhang Lei: "Comrade Jiang wants to send people back to the country through our embassy?"
Jiang Li said "hmm" lightly and said to Zhang Lei: "Her name is Xu Chunxia, and she lives..."
That’s right, the woman lying unconscious on the roadside was none other than Xu Chunxia.
“Okay, I will do what Comrade Jiang said.”
After writing down Jiang Li's place of origin and the specific address of Xu Chunxia's home, Zhang Lei and Zhou Heng carried him to a car behind him.
Song Sa suddenly said: "It's your fellow countryman."
It's not a question, it's a statement.
“from a village.”
Jiang Li responded.
“Why did you come abroad?”
Song Sa This is just out of curiosity.
“I don’t know the specific circumstances, but she once dated a foreign partner.”
Speaking of this, Jiang Li paused for a moment, and then she continued: "Do you still remember the man who had the shamelessness to talk to me in the mall that day?"
Song Sa nodded.
“He is the foreign object I just mentioned.”
Jiang Li knew that Xu Chunxia didn't have much brains, but he didn't expect that this person would be bold enough to follow a foreigner across the ocean and come to this foreign country, and make himself so embarrassed.
Song Sa: "Based on what we saw just now, that **** was probably abandoned by others!"
"maybe."
Jiang Li's expression was indifferent, and he said nothing more when he saw Zhou Heng sitting back in the passenger seat.
There were originally two black cars following behind. Because they were taking Xu Chunxia to the hospital, the bodyguards in one of the cars got out and crowded into the other car.
Leave only the driver alone and drive Zhang Lei and Xu Chunxia to a nearby hospital.
More than half an hour later.
Xu Chunxia woke up in the hospital bed.
"you're awake?!"
Zhang Lei walked in from outside the ward and saw Xu Chunxia open her eyes. He looked sternly and locked his eyes on Xu Chunxia's face: "When your fever subsides, I will send you to the Chinese embassy, and then the comrades in the embassy will arrange for you to return home. "
“This...where is this?”
"Hospital."
"who are you?"
Xu Chunxia looked very weak. She looked at Zhang Lei with a slightly dazed look in her eyes: "Did you save me?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. It doesn't matter whether I saved you or not. Just feel free to take your IV."
Zhang Lei put the bread and milk in his hand on the cabinet next to the hospital bed.
Xu Chunxia was very hungry. She turned her head and looked at the bread and milk on the cabinet. Her stomach made a "gurgling" sound and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Perceiving Zhang Lei's eyes looking towards her, Xu Chunxia's cheeks were hot, she opened her mouth and explained: "I haven't eaten well for a long time."
Zhang Lei said nothing. He picked up the bread, tore open the bag, and then handed it to Xu Chunxia's hand that was not connected to the intravenous drip.
“Thank you…Thank you! My name is Jiang Lei, what’s your name?”
After taking the bread and eating it, Xu Chunxia's eyes fell on the milk again.
Zhang Lei pursed her thin lips tightly, inserted a straw into the milk, and then reached out to help Xu Chunxia sit on the hospital bed.
“The milk is here for you, take it and 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 was very good to me when he was in our country and said he would marry me." , but he deceived me into his country, beat and cursed me, and even locked me up..."
Zhang Lei said nothing and stood aside expressionlessly, listening to Xu Chunxia's cry.
“…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 maidservant to serve their family. Woo hoo... I thought I would die on the roadside, but luckily I was saved by you. Don’t worry, wait until I come back. When I get home, 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 heard, the more something was wrong. After Xu Chunxia stopped crying, he said, "I'm going out."
Jiangjia 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, nothing else? Okay, I'll hang up then! "
“You have something to ask the embassy for help?”
Jiang Boya looked puzzled and his tone was sour: "Can't dad help you?"
“On the way back, I saw an acquaintance fainted on the roadside, so I asked Comrade Zhang to take the person to a nearby 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.
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 patiently 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.
“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. I have done my best to live and die on my own, so how could 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. She smiled and said, "Use honorifics. This is a kind of politeness and also my respect for you."
“Dad, I don’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 when 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 the **** is from the same village as you?”
Song Sa was puzzled.
“We are indeed from the same village, but she identified herself as 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 put on 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."
