Chapter 386: Chapter 385: Go Crazy by Yourself
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
Yan Yidan stifled a laugh, “Xixi is right, Nannan, you should feel some team honor. As long as we’re all still alive, this organization will never disband.”
Yang Jiashu agreed, “Exactly, Six Love Organization is our forever haven. Should we build a base?”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
Build a base? Why don’t you just fly to the sky.
Jiang Yunchuan was watching Yan Yidan, his ears red, mumbling, “Mmm-hmm.”
Jiang Nanshu had not expected that her return would bring the Six Love Organization back to life.
She felt utterly despondent.
This wasn’t the Six Love Organization, it was a pyramid scheme.
Look at how brainwashed they all were.
4:30 in the afternoon.
Jiang Nanshu left with regret.
Xu Xi returned to her work at the radio station and Yan Yidan went to handle the affairs of the Yan Family Company.
She then told the remaining Jiang Yunchuan and Yang Jiashu that she intended to return to Half Mountain Villa.
Jiang Yunchuan looked at her in astonishment, “Aren’t you coming back to the Jiang Family with me? The brothers heard you were out and have cancelled their work to welcome you home.”
Ah, this…
There’s really no need… really no need…
It’s like she’s being released from prison.
Yang Jiashu: “Huh? You just started having fun, staying a bit longer wouldn’t hurt…”
He spoke, and his phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, he widened his eyes in surprise.
Lu Qingyan was actually calling him!
It had been so long since they’d last contacted.
Of course, compared to Jiang Yunchuan, he occasionally kept in touch with Lu Qingyan. Since Jiang Nanshu’s dive into the sea, Lu had gone mad trying to deal with the Jiang Family, tormenting the entire business circle.
Later, perhaps finding something else to focus on, he fought them all in unison.
Even he, once a good brother, could not escape.
He hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to answer, cleared his throat to sound natural, “Hello, Brother Yan, what’s up?”
Upon hearing Yang Jiashu call out “Brother Yan,” Jiang Nanshu’s face turned green.
The room fell silent, just in time to hear Lu Qingyan’s cool voice come from the phone.
“Give the phone to my wife.”
Yang Jiashu: “…”
Jiang Yunchuan: “…”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
Yang Jiashu touched his nose, quelling his voice as he handed the phone to Jiang Nanshu, “He’s looking for you.”
Jiang Nanshu resignedly took it, “Hello…”
“Look at the time.”
Jiang Nanshu checked. It was 4:45, and it would take half an hour to get to Half Mountain Villa from there.
After all, she had promised Lu Qingyan, so Jiang Nanshu felt it was best to be honest.
She hurriedly responded, “Got it, I’m coming back soon.”
Jiang Yunchuan was enraged; did his sister need his approval even for the time she spent outside?
He yelled across the screen, “Lu Qingyan, don’t go too far.”
The line was abruptly cut off from the other side, clearly unwilling to listen to Jiang Yunchuan’s complaints.
Jiang Nanshu glanced at him, “Lu Qingyan hung up.”
Jiang Yunchuan’s face turned red with anger.
“No going back! What kind of reasoning is that? You should come back with me to the Jiang Family, you’re part of our family.”
Jiang Nanshu thought it over; staying with the Jiang Family or with Lu Qingyan, she chose Lu Qingyan.
At least Lu Qingyan was like a father, and the family might not take care of her as well as he would.
She tactfully declined, “I promised him I’d be back by five, I can’t chat anymore, I need to leave.”
Jiang Yunchuan was astonished, “Since when do you listen to him so much?”
“Having integrity is also a virtue.”
Jiang Nanshu bid farewell, without any dawdling.
Jiang Yunchuan felt awful.
He punched the glass, “Damn it, what right does he have to decide my sister’s fate? Even if they did register their marriage, they shouldn’t be so oppressive! Is it because they think the Jiang Family can’t stand up to him?”
Yang Jiashu kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.
He thought to himself, “What big truths are you blabbing about?”
Just who in all of Beijing could sanction that master?
Wait a minute…
What juicy gossip had he stumbled upon?
Lu Qingyan and Jiang Nanshu got their marriage certificate?!
Wow, interesting.
So swift!
Why just get the certificate and not have a wedding?
Secret marriage?
No…
Neither of them is such public figures to need a secret marriage.
Yang Jiashu was not listening to Jiang Yunchuan’s complaints. He pondered a bit and then uncertainly thought, would Lu Qingyan send him a wedding invitation?
Hehe, he wanted to enjoy the wedding banquet.
Jiang Yunchuan noticed Yang Jiashu was spacing out, slightly irritated, he punched him, “Are you even listening to me?”
Yang Jiashu touched the sore spot from the punch, “What did you say?”
“I said I want to get my brothers together to rescue Nannan. She must be threatened; she’s really having a tough time,” Jiang Yunchuan’s eyes filled with compassion.
Yang Jiashu: “…”
No…
He saw that Jiang Nanshu was reluctant to go back.
But, she was rather decisive when she refused to return to the Jiang Family with him.
Besides, Jiang Nanshu didn’t strike him as someone who could be easily threatened; it must be her own choice.
He really didn’t want to crush Jiang Yunchuan’s hope, considering he was the only brother he could chat with left around him.
Yang Jiashu cleared his throat, “Why don’t you all rest a bit? Let Brother Yan think it over, and once he figures it out, he won’t continue like this anymore.”
Implicit meaning: Don’t humiliate yourself.
“No, I must ensure Nannan returns home safely.”
Yang Jiashu: “…”
Go crazy on your own then.
…
Jiang Nanshu arrived at Half Mountain Villa at five-thirty.
It was peak hour for leaving work, and she got stuck in traffic for nearly half an hour.
She sneaked through the door, relieved to find Lu Qingyan wasn’t home.
Before she could fully relax, a cold voice from the second floor railing said, “You know to come back, half an hour late.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
She justified to herself, “Is it my fault if I’m late because of the traffic lights on the road? Stepping back even further, why does Beijing have so many cars? Everyone should take some responsibility for me being late!”
Lu Qingyan: “…”
Jiang Nanshu could see the speechlessness on his face.
He turned around and left without a word.
He didn’t mention Jiang Nanshu being late again.
Jiang Nanshu felt that, if she continued, even the street cats and dogs would bear some responsibility.
A maid stepped forward, “Madam, what would you like to eat tonight?”
She respectfully handed over a menu.
Jiang Nanshu took it and randomly selected a few dishes from the top, “Bring a bit of these dishes, just for the sir and me, you can make smaller portions.”
The maid noted it down and went to the kitchen.
Jiang Nanshu now had her personal freedom; no one was restricting her from going out, a peaceful scene.
Jiang Nanshu strolled along the villa and came to the forbidden area she had previously run into.
Others might not dare to approach, but she did.
This time she went straight in, knocked on the locked iron door, and lowered her voice, “Is the person inside still here? If you are, give me a sign.”
Jiang Nanshu silently waited. Just as she thought the thing might have been moved by Lu Qingyan, she heard the crisp sound of chains hitting the floor…
