Jiang Nanshu grasped his hand, finally only saying, “Come back safely.”
Lu Qingyan smiled gently at her, dispelling the gloom between his brows. His voice was solemn: “Okay.”
He will definitely come back.
He can’t leave Jiang Nanshu alone.
He also has a child; no matter what, he will return to Jiang Nanshu’s side.
Lu Qingyan walked out of the room, his gaze sweeping over Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan instantly understood.
After Lu Qingyan left with the police, he had to call Old Mr. Lu to explain the situation.
Ye Yuan sighed. Old Mr. Lu would have to work hard for his grandson again.
Jiang Nanshu was sent to the Jiang family.
Jiang Yisen rushed back upon receiving the news and hurriedly asked, “What’s going on with Lu Qingyan?”
Jiang Nanshu, sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, simply replied, “The police said he hired someone to kill Chu Muxi. They took him in for questioning, and I don’t know when he’ll be released.”
Jiang Yisen frowned: “Anything else?”
“After her daughter’s death, Chu Xin reported that Lu Qingyan had illegally detained her daughter. If it’s proven, even if he didn’t hire someone to kill her, he won’t escape legal punishment.” Jiang Nanshu said calmly.
Jiang Yisen knew nothing about these matters.
So he asked, “He shouldn’t have been involved, right?”
Jiang Nanshu smiled at Jiang Yisen: “Who knows?”
Jiang Yisen felt a headache coming on: “I’ll go check on him. Just stay home these days; after all, you’re pregnant, don’t think too much.”
Jiang Nanshu nodded obediently, without saying a word.
She definitely hoped Lu Qingyan would be released safely; if he were to face criminal charges…
Jiang Nanshu thought about it and realized that things were starting to get complicated.
She sighed.
Old Mr. Lu had already sent someone to handle things.
Jiang Nanshu stayed at the Jiang family home for three days.
On the third day, she received a call from Xu Xi.
Her voice was cheerful: “Jiang Jiang, Yang Jiashu and I are together!”
Jiang Nanshu composed himself: “He’s not going to have an arranged marriage?”
Xu Xi’s voice softened considerably: “Jiashu said he won’t. He’ll find another way to help his family through this difficult time. He moved out of the Yang family home, and we started living together yesterday.”
“When did you two get together?”
Xu Xi seemed a little shy: “Well, the day after he came to my hometown to see me, he confessed his feelings, and I said yes…”
Her voice trailed off as she said, “Am I…trying to climb the social ladder?”
“No.”
Jiang Nanshu’s voice was clear and crisp: “You deserve to be loved, Xi Xi, you are a good girl.”
After being praised by Jiang Nanshu, Xu Xi’s mood instantly brightened: “I brought a gift for your baby from my hometown. When it is born, it will have a room full of treasures from its godmother!”
“Huh? How come I didn’t know my child recognized you as his/her godmother?”
Xu Xi pouted: “I don’t care. I’m the child’s godmother, and no one can take him/her from me.”
Jiang Nanshu shook her head, teasingly saying, “Then you have to show sincerity. If the baby isn’t satisfied, there’s nothing I can do.”
Xu Xi burst out laughing: “I think you’re the one who wants it. You’re even using the child.”
Jiang Nanshu said innocently: “No way, what’s the child’s is mine. I don’t distinguish between myself and my child.”
“Alright then, I’ll buy it for you to see. Remember to give me a godmother voucher!” Xu Xi said with a smile.
Then she changed the subject: “Jiang Jiang, do you want to go out and have some fun tomorrow?”
Jiang Nanshu didn’t really want to go out and politely declined, saying, “I don’t want to go out. I don’t know why, but I haven’t been feeling well lately.”
Xu Xi was very understanding of Jiang Nanshu’s pregnant state: “Okay, we’ll make an appointment later. Jiang Jiang, cheer up. Sister Yan and I will come to see you in a few days.”
Jiang Nanshu responded softly, “Okay.”
