Lin Qingqian glanced at him and did not say anything.
Was there a need to ask this question?
Jiang Yanshen was not angry. His thin lips curled into a lazy and evil smile. âSo what if you hate me? Youâre still my wife after all. Youâre also pregnant with my child, and youâll be with me for the rest of your life.â
âI can divorce you.â Before she could say it, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Jiang Yanshen turned around and saw the nurse walking in with two people in uniforms.
âMay I ask if youâre Mr. Jiang Yanshen?â one of them asked.
Jiang Yanshen nodded. âYes.â
âSomeone called the police and said that you deliberately injured someone.
Please come with us.â
In the past, with Gu Xici mediating for such a small matter, there was no need to go to the police station personally. But now, itâs different.
He got up and buttoned his suit. A smile appeared on his thin lips. âAlright.â
Before turning around, he glanced at Lin Qingqian. âDonât worry, Iâll be back soon.â
â Lin Qingqian really wanted to say: Donât flatter yourself. Whoâs worried about you?
After Jiang Yanshen and the two police officers left, Lin Qingqian picked up her phone and called Gu Xici to ask what was going on.
The reason was that Ming Yuan had called the police and said that Jiang Yanshen had deliberately harmed Ming Xiao. Now, Ming Xiao was hospitalized for treatment. Although there was no substantial harm, she was very agitated as if sheâd suffered a huge blow.
On the phone, Gu Xici also told her that if Ming Xiaoâs evaluation report did not show any physical harm, even if she sued him, she would not win. At most, he would receive a verbal warning and a fine.
Lin Qingqian originally wanted to sow discord between the two of them and make a gap in their hearts so that they would not come together to disgust her. She did not expectâ¦
Jiang Xiao Jiu was so ruthless that he directly sent Ming Xiao to the hospital without leaving anything for them to convict him.
This time, he was probably really going to anger Ming Yuan.
Compared to Ah Yan⦠his methods were too low-level.
The most taboo thing in the business world was to leave no room for negotiation and make enemies everywhere.
Lin Qingqian was not worried about Jiang Xiao Jiu. She was worried about Ah Yan and Tianyue Group.
At the police station, Jiang Yanshen finished recording his statement accompanied by Lawyer Zhang.
The injury assessment report on Ming Xiaoâs side was also out. Other than the bruises on her hands and feet from being tied up and her mental state being agitated, she was not injured in any other way.
Even the chances of suing Jiang Yanshen were not high.
Jiang Yanshen came out of the interrogation room and bumped into Ming Yuan, who had accompanied Ming Xiao to the police station.
The three of them collided head-on. Ming Xiao looked at him with hatred in her eyes.
Ming Yuan was calmer than Ming Xiao, but his old face was gloomy and not very happy.
Jiang Yanshenâs exquisite facial features were filled with a smile as he said casually, âMiss Ming was discharged so quickly. From the looks of it, the bruises on your hands will probably heal if you go to the hospital later.â
âJiang Yanshenââ Ming Xiao heard his sarcasm and was about to speak when she was interrupted by Ming Yuan.
âXiaoxiao.â Ming Yuan glanced at her warningly and Ming Xiao swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Ming Yuan looked at Jiang Yanshen with his deep eyes and said calmly, âDirector Jiang, if Xiaoxiao did anything wrong, you can tell me. Iâll teach her a lesson. Your actions are ultimately wrong.â
Jiang Yanshenâs disdain was written all over his face. âPresident Ming, youâre being too serious. I was just joking with Miss Ming. After all, Miss Ming likes to joke, right?â
Ming Xiao clenched her fists by her side and tried her best to control her anger so that she would not slap him.
This man⦠was simply despicable and hateful to the extreme.
No matter how much she liked and yearned for this man in the past, after what happened last night, she only felt hatred and resentment.
âYoung man, Iâll give you a piece of advice as an experienced person. Donât be too arrogant,â Ming Yuan said indifferently.
Jiang Yanshen sneered. âThank you for your warning, President Ming, but I donât need it. I still have something on, so Iâll take my leave first.â With that, he walked towards the entrance of the police station.
Ming Yuanâs gaze followed his back, and his eyebrows were filled with coldness.
Ming Xiao called out with a pale face, âFatherâ¦â Her eyes were filled with endless grievance.
Ming Yuan raised his hand and patted her shoulder. âThereâs no hurry. You have to be patient in everything. He will pay the price for his arrogance today.â
With his words, Ming Xiaoâs expression improved slightly. âI understand, Father.â
Lin Qingqian was recuperating in the hospital, and Song Qin was also hospitalized. The new designs would be handed over to Xiao Bai and Su Ying to handle.
Fortunately, Song Qin had already arranged everything previously, so the sales were not bad. They were at a higher level than before.
A week later, the doctor approved Lin Qingqianâs discharge from the hospital. However, she still needed to remain in bed to recuperate when she returned home. She couldnât tire herself out, let alone do any strenuous exercise.
On the morning of the discharge, Lin Qingqian had already asked the nurse to pack up and wait for Jiang Yunshen to come over.
In the end, the person who pushed open the door first wasâJiang Yanshen. Lin Qingqian was a little surprised to see him. âWhy are you here?â
âOf course itâs to pick up my wife to go home and recuperate.â Jiang Yanshen smiled and turned his head to give Fang Wu a look.
Fang Wu picked up her luggage and walked out.
It was too late for Lin Qingqian to stop him. Her eyes were filled with coldness. âIâm not going back to the Jiang residence.â
âWhere do you want to go if youâre not going back to the Jiang residence?â Jiang Yanshen walked in front of her and carried her up.
Lin Qingqian was shocked. When she reacted, she struggled in his arms. âPut me down⦠Jiang Xiao Jiu!â
Her cold voice was mixed with anger.
âDonât move!â His cold voice was filled with warning. He tightened his grip on her. âIf you move again, bear the consequences of falling to the ground.â As if his warning had worked, Lin Qingqian indeed stopped moving.
When Jiang Yanshen lowered his head, an imperceptible smile flashed across his lips as he strode out of the ward.
When they just entered the elevator, the elevator beside them slowly opened. As Jiang Yunshen walked towards the ward, he munched on the meat buns that he had asked Chen Mu to buy on the way.
In the end, when he arrived at the ward, she was missing. Immediately, the meat bun in his hand no longer tastes good.
Lin Qingqian was placed in the car by Jiang Yanshen when her cell phone rang. It was a call from Jiang Yunshen.
When she picked up the call, she heard Jiang Yunshen shouting, âDid that bastard kidnap you? Donât be anxious. Iâll save you now.â
Lin Qingqian glanced at the bastard beside her and said indifferently, âSee you at the Jiang residence.â
With that, she hung up. From the corner of her eye, she happened to catch a cold smile on the corner of Jiang Bastard Xiao Jiuâs mouth.
âWhat are you smiling about?â she asked.
âI didnât expect such a smart and ruthless person like Jiang Chongjing to give birth to such a stupid son. I wonder if heâs a bastard child that Wu Suyun secretly gave birth to with someone outside.â Jiang Yanshen leaned back in his chair relaxedly and rubbed the corner of his mouth with his fingers. âIf I had known earlier, I wouldnât have needed Lu Yuan to mess with him. Itâs been a waste of my effort.â
Lin Qingqian frowned slightly. âJiang Xiao Jiu, do you think that everyone in the world is stupid except for you?â
Jiang Yanshen turned to look at her with a matter-of-fact expression. âIsnât that so?â
Lin Qingqian: â
She suddenly wanted to apologize to Ah Yan. In the past, she had really
wronged him by saying that it was difficult to communicate with him.
It was even more difficult to communicate with this arrogant and self-centered person here!
Jiang Yanshen blinked as if he was thinking about something. He said in a comforting tone, âDonât worry, even if the child inherits your intelligence, I wonât mind. At least half of my intelligence is left.â Lin Qingqian:
âYou donât have to be too touched. Iâm justâ¦â
Lin Qingqian felt her temples throbbing. She couldnât take it anymore and said, âShut up.â
At the Jiang residence.
The car slowly stopped. Just as Lin Qingqian was about to get out of the car, Jiang Yanshen had already bent down to carry her and turned to walk into the house.
Lin Qingqian didnât struggle. She only frowned and said, âI can walk by myself.â
âThe doctor said that you have to recuperate.â Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and leaned closer as he walked, his dark eyes smiling. âOr are you shy from being carried by me like a princess?â
His warm breath sprayed on her face. Lin Qingqian turned her head to avoid it and said coldly, âI didnât know that other than being arrogant, youâre also so narcissistic.â
Jiang Yanshen smiled and entered the house without explaining.
He placed Lin Qingqian on the sofa and Jiang Yanshen instructed the servants to heat up a glass of milk.
âIâll get the servants to tidy up the room you used to live in. Iâll carry you back to your room to rest later.â
Lin Qingqian looked up at him. âI want to return to Begonia Courtyard.â
Jiang Yanshen frowned. âWhatâs so good about that lousy place? Youâre Madam Jiang, so you naturally should live in the Jiang residence. As for Li Guilan, you donât have to worry. She wonât be out for five to six years.â âEven if she comes out, I wonât let her come back.â
âThatâs my and Ah Yanâs house,â Lin Qingqian said with a firm voice.
âCompared to Li Guilan, I detest seeing you more.â
Jiang Yanshenâs eyes darkened, and the corners of his mouth were still curled up casually. âBut you have to see me now. What should I do?â
There was even a hint of bitchiness in his gentle voice.
Lin Qingqian frowned and thought for a moment before saying, âLetâs get a divorce. The person I married wasnât you to begin with, and you donât like me either. After the divorce, you can ask anyone to be Madam Jiang!â
The smile on Jiang Yanshenâs lips completely darkened as he stared at her sharply. âLin Qingqian, do you have a heart or not? Look at this face clearly⦠You want to divorce me and let me marry another woman. Can you really be so ruthless?â
Lin Qingqianâs brows and eyes were calm as she said in a calm tone, âWhy canât I be ruthless? This isnât the first time Iâve gotten a divorce. You canât possibly think that youâre worth me spending the rest of my life with, right?â Her gentle voice was hurtful and cold.
âYouââ Jiang Yanshen stared at her delicate facial features, feeling angry, anxious, and helpless.
Previously, she could divorce Jiang Yan, so she could naturally divorce him now. Moreover, she was no longer the little girl who had just come to Lan City and was isolated and helpless!!
If it really came to a divorce, he might not be able to keep her.
âDonât you want to see him anymore?â His thin lips pursed slightly, and his cold voice slowly sounded.
Lin Qingqian was stunned. âWhat did you say?
Jiang Yanshenâs lips were cold as he snorted. âStop pretending. Shen Zhiwei has alreadv told vou that that Diece of trash hasnât completelv disaDDeared. You
want to see him, right?â
âYouâre spying on me,â Lin Qingqian said coldly.
Jiang Yanshen didnât deny it. He bent down and squatted in front of her. He looked up at her with his dark eyes and threw out the bait. âBe good and stay here to recuperate. Iâll let you see him, okay?â
Lin Qingqianâs curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and a trace of suspicion flashed past her eyes. âWhy?â
His thin lips held a cold and charming smile. âBecause youâre pregnant with my child. I want a happy Madam Jiang and a healthy son. As for that piece of trash..
Now that Iâve regained control, letting him out once or twice wonât change anything.â
âWhy should I believe your words?â Lin Qingqian asked again.
âThe entire Tianyue Group is under your control now. If I lie to you, you can kick me out in minutes, right?â
Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes and pondered.
âAs long as you listen obediently and be an obedient Madam Jiang to give birth to the child, Iâll let him come out to see you.â Jiang Yanshen reached out to touch her hair, his fingertips wrapping around it.
Lin Qingqian looked up at him. âI can stay, but you have to agree to a few conditions. â
Jiang Yanshen nodded. âGo ahead.â
âFirstly, youâre not allowed to interfere with my work. Be it Chen Mu or Song Qin, they can freely enter and leave the Jiang residence.â
âAlright.â He agreed without thinking.
âSecondly, youâre not allowed to spread the news of our marriage. Weâre only married in name. From now on, youâre not allowed to touch me without my permission.â
âNo problem. Actually, you donât interest me either.â His frivolous eyes sized up her, disdain hiding the fleeting gloom in his eyes.
Lin Qingqian ignored his words. âThirdly, donât touch Yunshen or anyone around me.â
Jiang Yanshenâs thin lips curled up slightly as he sneered. âYouâre really a good Sister-in-law.â
âDo you agree?â Lin Qingqian frowned and questioned.
âAs long as you donât give him the Tianyue Group, I guarantee that he will be safe and healthy and live a long life.â
Lin Qingqian nodded. âThen Iâll take it that youâve agreed!â
âSince I agreed to your request, shouldnât it be my turn now?â
Before Lin Qingqian could react, she heard him say, âAlthough you donât interest me, youâre still Madam Jiang. I hope you can behave yourself and be a good Madam Jiang. Whether itâs Jiang Yunshen or that person with the surname Han, I hope you can keep a distance from them.â
His skeletal fingers pinched her chin and he leaned over to speak in a low voice that only the two of them could hearâ
âIf I see them touch you again, Iâll let Fang Wu chop off their hands even if itâs just a strand of hair!â
His low and hoarse voice was murderous and evil, making Lin Qingqianâs goosebumps rise.
However, before she could speak, she heard Jiang Yunshen scolding at the door, âBastard, let go of my Sister-in-law!!â
Jiang Yanshen stood up and turned around. Before he could react, Jiang Yunshen had already punched his face.
It happened too suddenly. He was unprepared and fell onto the sofa.
After Jiang Yunshen pulled Lin Qingqian up to hide behind him, he said in a manly tone, âSister-in-law, donât be afraid⦠Iâll protect you!â
Lin Qingqian: â
