Jiang Yining locked the door and returned to Jiang Ron’s bed. She said in a clear voice, “Did you take a cold shower again?”

They grew up together, and Jiang Yining knew exactly what Jiang Rou was thinking.

Naturally, she also knew what Jiang Rou had done in private.

Jiang Rou covered her mouth and suppressed her cough as she said, “No.”

“No?” Jiang Yining sneered. She didn’t believe a single word she said. “If you don’t care about your health, even the most skilled doctor is useless. Jiang Rou, I’m warning you, if you continue to court death, I won’t treat you anymore.”

Tears welled up in Jiang Ron’s eyes. “Do you think I want this?”

“Is he that good that he’s worth sacrificing your health?”

Jiang Yining questioned.

Yes! In my eyes, he is the best man in the world. 1 like him and don’t want him to marry another woman!” Jiang Ron’s voice was gentle and pleasant, but it carried a sense of determination. “Two days ago, the old mansion called and said that they had arranged a blind date for him. Old Master ordered him to go back immediately and meet the person.”

She had a crush on Gu Zhanqing for five years. Ever since she learned about love, she had been hoping that she would grow up quickly so that she could become his bride and not be taken care of like a child.

For so many years, the Gu family had considered getting Gu Zhanqing married. However, every time, it was either Gu Zhanqing who refused or Jiang Rou found ways to sabotage his blind dates with other women.

Yining was under the same roof as her and had long discovered her feelings.

However, due to their sisterly relationship, she never exposed her.

Regardless of how others saw it, Jiang Rou was determined not to change her mind.

She liked Gu Zhanqing and wanted to be with him.

No one could stop her, including her sister!

Upon hearing Jiang Ron’s words, Jiang Yining was almost amused to the point of laughter, “Jiang Rou, he’s our grandfather’s adopted son.”

“I know, but he’s only an adopted son. Moreover, he’s only been raised by our Jiang family for eight years. He’s not related to us by blood. If others can like him, why can’t I?”

After Jiang Rou finished speaking, she coughed a few more times.

Jiang Yining looked at her uncomfortable expression and said, “Since you think you’re not in the wrong, why don’t you just tell him directly? Don’t you feel aggrieved that you’re humiliating yourself?”

Jiang Rou didn’t reply.

Jiang Yining paused and said, “I think you’re afraid that he’ll find out and distance himself from you.”

“Yining!”

Jiang Rou shouted in annoyance.

Jiang Rou snorted, “Jiang Rou, your stubbornness will be your downfall sooner or later.”

“I don’t need you to care.”

“If it weren’t for us coming from the same womb, do you think I would bother with you? Someone as worthless as you, I’m ashamed to admit you’re my sister.”

Jiang Yining had the utmost disdain for those who lost themselves in love with someone else.

Who couldn’t live without who in this world?

Why must you be so hung up on a tree?

If others didn’t love her, wouldn’t she just find someone who did?

Throwing away one’s self-esteem, desperately trying to hold on, would only lead to a finale of being despised and degraded.

Jiang Rou silently shed tears and didn’t say anything.

Jiang Yining also grew tired of scolding her.

The atmosphere in the bedroom was awkward.

Gu Zhanqing pushed the door open and walked in, seeing Jiang Rou crying. He frowned and questioned, “Did you bully Ah Rou again?”

“Yes, you went through all the trouble to invite her back. I treated her and even made her angry,” Jiang Yining said with irritation.

Gu Zhanqing opened his mouth and wanted to scold her.

However, Jiang Rou spoke up, “Uncle, I’m crying because I feel uncomfortable from coughing. It has nothing to do with Yining. It’s not easy for her to come home, so don’t scold her.”

Gu Zhanqing suppressed the anger in his heart and comforted her gently as he said, “Okay, the medicine and pear soup will make you feel better soon. Bear with it a little longer.”

“Yes, I know.”

Jiang Rou wiped her tears and smiled at him.

Jiang Yining couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Gu Zhanqing had Jiang Rou lie down and turned to Jiang Yining as he said, “Come out.”

Fine, she would leave.

In the future, even if he cried and begged her to come back, she wouldn’t return!

Jiang Yining walked out without looking back.

In the corridor, Gu Zhanqing quickened his pace and blocked her way. “I misunderstood you just now. I’m sorry.”

Jiang Yining was stunned.

There was a time for him to apologize?

How rare!

“Do you have fewer misunderstandings? I don’t care about this anymore.” Jiang Yining’s words were sarcastic.

Gu Zhanqing’s face darkened. After marrying into the Lu family, she indeed became quite something.

He had already apologized to her, yet she was still so picky.

However, he had something to discuss with her, so he suppressed his anger.

“Yining, I heard that you synthesized Curium?”

Jiang Yining didn’t expect him to suddenly bring this up and asked cautiously, “Yes, what’s wrong?”

“Sell all the Curium in your hands to me. I’ll offer you a good price,” Gu Zhanqing said.

“The Gu family’s business has nothing to do with Curium. Why do you want this thing?”

No matter how much Jiang Yining disliked the Gu family, she didn’t want the Gu family to have anything to do with the disappearance of Lin Yan and Lu Beicheng.

“We didn’t delve into this area before because the Curium-related industry chain was incomplete. Now that you can synthesize Curium, we can research mass production and apply it in real life. It’s a great opportunity. Instead of letting others take advantage, why not do it ourselves? If you sell the Curium to me, I will give you 30% of the profits in the future.”

Gu Zhanqing felt that the price and benefits he offered were quite generous.

Jiang Yining sneered and said disdainfully, “You also know that it’s a good opportunity? Don’t forget that I’m married to Lu Zhi now and am part of the Lu family. When it comes to good opportunities, the first thing to consider is the Lu family, not the Gu family. You want to use our past connection to get close… Hehe, don’t even think about it.”

She was expressionless when she said the last sentence.

Gu Zhanqing looked at the unreasonable Jiang Yining in front of him and vaguely saw her mother.

Back then, she only cared about protecting the Jiang family’s interests and wasn’t willing to leave with him at all.

If only she had been willing to go with him.

How could she have died in tragedy?

Gu Zhanqing took a step forward and grabbed Jiang Yining’s wrist.

Jiang Yining sensed the danger and asked with a serious expression, “What? You can’t win me over with kinship, so you want to use violence? Gu Zhanqing, I’m warning you. If you dare to lay a finger on me, Lu Zhi won’t spare you.”

“What does he dare to do to me?”

Gu Zhanqing said aggressively.

At the same time, he tightened his grip on her hand.

Jiang Yining winced in pain, but she refused to show any sign of weakness on her face. She just stared straight into his eyes.

Just as the two of them were in a stalemate.

A servant approached and said, “Sir, Young Master Lu is here. He said he wants to bring Miss Yining home..”
