Chapter 203: Chapter 203 Jiang Nanshu Will Eventually Kill You All
Mrs. Ji jumped in fright, her face turned somewhat pale. “What… what happened?”
Father Ji stood up, his brows deeply furrowed. “I’ll go take a look.”
Jiang Hemian sighed, “It seems some questions can only be left for tomorrow. You two sit down, I’ll go check.”
“If you were hurt, Nannan would probably blame me for not protecting you.”
Mrs. Ji was stunned.
Her throat seemed choked, unable to ask the question.
Did Jiang Nanshu really still care about them?
They hadn’t found the reason for her drastic change in personality, only that when she was little, they had sought help from a spiritual woman. She relapsed at the age of six, but afterward, Jiang Nanshu hardly fell ill. The last time was three years ago when she fell into a ditch and, once sober, she left in a rush, as if racing against time— they didn’t even know where she obtained that paternity test.
Later, Father Ji, feeling guilty, thought it was his fault for not listening to Jiang Nanshu, which led her to go to the mountain in a fit of pique and eventually get injured. Because of this, he also dared not inquire further, fearing it would make his daughter despise him.
Jiang Hemian walked out, carrying a wooden stick. The door was barely cracked open when it was forcefully swung wide.
Chu Muxi was the first to appear, her dress that was clean during the day was now covered in mud, her eyes red as she looked at Jiang Hemian.
Unable to contain her emotions, she sobbed, “Wuu wuu wuu, Third Brother.”
Seeing a familiar face, Chu Muxi burst into tears.
Her delicate and pretty face, tears streaming down in a charmingly pitiful manner, cried out.
She stepped forward and tightly gripped Jiang Hemian’s hand. “I thought I might never see you again.”
Jiang Hemian’s expression remained unchanged, his tone gentle, “Xixi, what happened?”
Relieved by his lack of rejection to her touch, Chu Muxi looked up, her eyes red as she gazed at Jiang Hemian’s face. Even though he had slightly long hair, there wasn’t a hint of effeminacy; rather, he stood out particularly among the Jiang family members.
Jiang Jingcheng had the best looks among the Jiangs, but his aura was too cold, and he was particularly indifferent to people and matters. Chu Muxi didn’t want to deal with someone as cold as ice, and Jiang Hemian, being neither cold nor indifferent, was just right.
Moreover, being a researcher, casually developing a patent and finding partners to invest in the project would be hugely profitable.
Currently, he was only providing exclusive research to the Jiang Group.
If provided to the Chu Family, that would be even better than associating with the Lu Family.
Earning money was easy, but unique research projects were extremely rare.
If she couldn’t secure Jiang Hemian, she couldn’t let the Jiang family continue their development.
Jiang Hemian suddenly let out a soft laugh, “Don’t be afraid, Third Brother is here. What happened, tell me slowly.”
Chu Muxi simply explained their encounter with a bear at the foot of the mountain.
It was a brown bear, and since Mingyue Mountain was a wildlife conservation area, many animals lived there, but it was rare for them to come down the mountain; they generally stayed within the mountain.
After Chu Muxi finished speaking, Su Ran also rushed in, disheveled.
Her body was covered in mud and her pretty face bore no trace of a smile, her lips pressed tightly together, a trace of annoyance flickering in her eyes.
This was an unexpected accident that no one had foreseen.
Liang Ciqiu and Cheng An also hurriedly arrived.
Each person had sustained injuries to some extent.
Cheng An’s leg was so painful he was sweating profusely, the clean bandage soaked with blood again.
If he didn’t go to the hospital soon, his leg might be as good as useless.
Jiang Hemian behaved as if he saw nothing, his gaze sweeping over the group, “Did you call the police? A brown bear coming down the mountain could threaten the nearby residents. We need to intervene promptly.”
“No,” Chu Muxi replied.
Cheng An’s pain made his lips tremble, the entire person barely holding on, “Ranran, call 120, quickly.”
Su Ran’s hands trembled as she pulled out her phone, then looking at the people around her, her face turned deathly pale, “Where’s Tingting?”
The group was taken aback at the mention.
Liang Ciqiu’s expression darkened, “She’s still behind, could something have happened to her!”
Su Ran’s figure swayed.
Chu Muxi’s face turned pale, and he spoke with self-blame, “If only I had listened to Nanshu. She said there might be wolves and bears at the foot of the mountain, and if I had been more careful…”
Su Ran clenched his fists, his face terrifyingly cold.
Since Jiang Nanshu knew and was familiar with the place, why didn’t he make it clear to everyone?
Was it just because she was Su Ran, his imagined romantic rival? So he deliberately let them take the risk.
Now that Huang Ruanting had an accident, what was the point of saying these things?
If she had talked to her, she would never have let them set up the tent so far forward.
Let’s just pray that Huang Ruanting is alright, otherwise she would definitely go and confront Jiang Nanshu.
Su Ran didn’t even have time to call an ambulance before rushing out.
Liang Ciqiu’s face changed, “Ranran! Come back.”
However, Su Ran couldn’t hear what the people behind her were saying, her mind was focused only on rescuing Huang Ruanting.
Liang Ciqiu had no choice but to follow her out.
Cheng An couldn’t hold on anymore, collapsing to the ground, clutching his knee and howling in pain.
Only then did Chu Muxi let go of Jian Hemian to attend to Cheng An.
She called the police first, and then called for an ambulance.
Jian Hemian stood still, with no intention of helping Cheng An. He simply watched coldly from the sidelines.
Some people always end up doing themselves in.
When he looked at Chu Muxi, his gaze was deep; he hadn’t noticed before, but now upon closer observation, he realized that Chu Muxi was skilled in the art of speaking.
She was too smooth, and with a simple sentence, she might make the three other people there dislike Jiang Nanshu.
The Chu Family had no grudges with the Jiang Family, and Jian Hemian couldn’t figure out why the Chu Family would act this way.
Like Chu Xin, who wanted to climb the social ladder.
And Chu Muxi, who seemed gentle but was actually nastier than a hornet’s nest.
Father Ji walked out slowly and, seeing the situation, was startled, “Did you encounter a bear at the foot of the mountain? Oh dear, your leg is so injured, let me help you inside to rest.”
He reached out to help Cheng An.
But Cheng An forcefully shrugged off Father Ji’s hand, a look of disgust flashing in his eyes as he looked at Father Ji’s clothes.
“Country bumpkin, stay away from this young master, you stink.”
Father Ji’s hand awkwardly withdrew.
His face was a mix of embarrassment and shame.
It was his first time seeing so many wealthy young masters and missers, making his courtyard feel crowded.
Mrs. Ji pulled at him sympathetically, “Old Ji, let’s go back first. Third Young Master Jiang is here, no need for you to add to the chaos.”
The couple, both honest people, were also afraid of these nobles having an accident on their property.
The social circles of the elite were not something that simple farmers like them could mingle with.
Father Ji rubbed his hands and stepped aside, “Ah, alright…”
The Ji Family…
Jian Hemian was also at the Ji Family…
Cheng An suddenly remembered something.
Looking at the sickly Mrs. Ji, his smile turned mocking.
So this was the foster mother whom Jiang Nan had enraged to death?
Truly pitiful.
Raising someone with great difficulty, only to raise a wolf.
So he gave them a piece of advice as if bestowing a favor, “Let me give you some advice. Stay away from that disaster star, Jiang Nan. Otherwise, he’ll eventually be the death of you.”
