Jiang Boxuan pursed his lips and had to tell the truth: "Actually, Tingting is taking us back."
"Tingting? Why did she think of returning 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 to live."
"You didn't say just now that you would take your father, your eldest brother and the others 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 back.
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 she would lend me money and support me in starting a 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 in some way."
"Then my dad..."
"Don't worry about that old thing!"
"good!"
Jiang Boxuan breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded heavily.
…
Jiang family manor.
Entering the living room, the housekeeper first said hello to Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya, then moved his eyes to Jiang Hongfa and said respectfully: "Master, Akun is here."
Jiang Hong said "hmm" and motioned to the housekeeper to bring him 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?"
Upon 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 your attitude is clear now, then I will do as you say."
Speaking of this, Jiang Hongfa turned his gaze back to Li Kun: "Follow the young master's words. As for..."
After not saying anything 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 was 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 trouble secretly.
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, 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 ran away with her three daughters... This incident caught everyone's attention. Didn't even 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 emotionless voice escaped from his lips and teeth: "Only Jiang Boxuan is left 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 people will not be dissolved.
"I know what you want to say."
There was nothing strange about Jiang Boya's expression. He said, "Aside 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?"
"When we open a company or factory in China, we don't have to transfer all the industries here back. 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 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 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 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, "Be patient 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?"
Without waiting for Jiang Boya to 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 increases again and again."
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 randomly pulled out an excuse.
"Are you sure you're not hiding something from me?"
Jiang Li's beautiful 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 can't 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 corner 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 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, not only took advantage of him, but also took his life, that's all, but why should she bring trouble to him?
As a result, he now has to lie to his precious daughter!
His expression changed. Jiang Boya was full of disgust towards Miss Davis. She felt that she 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!
A fierce look flashed through his eyes, Jiang Boya gathered his thoughts, took out his bathrobe and entered the bathroom.
…
"parking!"
After a day of study, Jiang Li sat in the car and returned to Jiangjia Manor. Suddenly, she shouted softly.
Zhou Heng heard this 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 complicated, and he couldn't help but ask.
"There is 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, "Together."
He got out of the car and walked around 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.
Yes, the one 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 recognize 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 behind 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?"
Zhou Heng asked after hearing what Jiang Li said.
"Um."
Jiang Li nodded. She glanced at Song Sa, then turned her gaze to Zhang Lei and Zhou Heng. She said without emotion, "We are acquaintances."
After a moment of silence, Jiang Li warned 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 China through our embassy?"
Jiang Li said "hmm" lightly and said to Zhang Lei: "Her name is Xu Chunxia, she lives in..."
That's right, the woman lying unconscious on the roadside was none other than Xu Chunxia.
"Okay, I will do as 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 wasn't a question, she was using a statement.
"From a village."
Jiang Li responded.
"Why did you come abroad?"
Song Sa was 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 that man who was so shameless and shameless that he talked 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 lesbian 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.
Only the driver was left, driving 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 to look at the bread and milk on the cabinet. Her stomach made a "gurgling" sound and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Sensing 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 didn't say anything. He picked up the bread, tore open the packaging bag, and then handed it to Xu Chunxia's hand that wasn't connected to an 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 his 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, 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 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 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 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.
"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 will die on her own, and I have done my best to benevolent and righteous, so how can I use her to trouble you, Mr. Jiang?!"
"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 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 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."
