An Exclusive love-Chapter 369 - The Favor from the Jiang Family

Zhou He paused for a few seconds and began to make a scene as soon as she came to her senses.

“Who do you think you are? You can kill people casually without any responsibilities? Come on and shoot me! I don’t believe you have the guts!”

Lu Tao also felt uncomfortable inside, thinking his mum was an elderly, whatever she said. And Jiang Rui was too impolite. So he just stopped persuading Zhou He and said to Jiang Rui, “Officer Jiang, we can talk about it calmly. We can’t achieve a good result when being so impulsive.”

“Haha!” Ying Cheng laughed all of a sudden, “Mr Lu, do you forget that my brother has privileges and that he has the right to shoot anyone who breaks into his home?”

Lu Tao’s face turned pale immediately. Jiang Rui did have that privilege.

“What?” Zhou He still couldn’t understand it. Lu Tao stopped his mother and said, “Mum, calm down. Officer Jiang can shoot anyone while being at home.”

She should have understood it by then. But Zhou He already lost her senses and just tried to take Lu Qi away with her.

“I’ll call your grandpa.” She took out the phone. But her expression got even worse when she heard what Jiang Min said.

Jiang Rui laughed and said, “You couldn’t have forgotten that we had agreed that the Lu family could ask the Jiang family to do one thing. You are so stupid that you have already used the chance.”

“Mum?” Lu Tao was shocked, “What have you done?”

Jiang Min had been framed when he was young and the Lu family had come out to attest on his behalf before the court. Then Jiang Min had promised that the Lu family could ask the Jiang family to do one thing. The Jiang family would do it no matter what it would be.

“Mum…” Lu Tao looked at Zhou He in disbelief, “You said that Officer Jiang agreed to protect Qiqi, which was by using the favor from the Jiang family?”

God! Lu Tao felt that he was about to become crazy, “Why didn’t you even discuss with me over such an important thing? Did my father know?”

“Of course not…” Zhou He said unconfidently.

Lu Tao felt his forehead, “Mum, do you think my father will forgive you when he learns of this?”

“So what if he doesn’t forgive me? He’ll divorced me?” Zhou He said certainly, “It was just a favor. You can talk with Grandpa Jiang and pretend I haven’t used it.”

Lu Tao thought his mother was too stupid that he stood up angrily and said, “I’ll go home to find grandpa, will you go with me?”

“Right!” Zhou He said with his words, “Find your grandpa and let him talk to Old Master Jiang!”

“Huh, why would I have such a stupid mother? If it affects my right of succession, I won’t recognize you as my mother.” After Lu Tao finished his words, he just turned around to leave. Zhou He was so scared that she ran after her son while ignoring her daughter.

Ying Cheng shut the door and said, “Do you think old Master Lu will be angry enough to spit blood?”

Even if it wasn’t the case, it would be close to that…

Lu Tao went directly to the old residence of the Lu family. After he described the whole thing, the Lu family burst into a heated discussion.

Old Master Lu was almost eighty years old that year. He raised his crutch and wanted to hit Zhou He with it. Zhou He thought her son would protect her from it, but indeed Lu Tao wanted to strangle her with his own hands at the moment.

“Ah!” There came a scream which was like the sound of murdering a pig. Zhou He covered her arm and lay on the ground.

The second brother of the Lu family said ferociously, “Dad, the three of us brothers promised that we would use the favor together. Now the stupid woman wasted the chance. Big brother has to give us an explanation.

“I’m your elder sister in law. How could you scold me?” The make-up on Zhou He’s face had already faded. She sat helplessly and awkwardly on the ground.

“My sister in law? Huh, you want to stay in the Lu family after you did such a thing…”

The eldest brother came back since he heard the news. Zhou He cried even harder the minute she saw him coming in. But before she could say a word, Lu Youwei slapped her face, “Damn it, you idiot. Take your things and get out of the Lu family.”

“Youwei!” Zhou He was in a blank. She didn’t expect it to be so serious. She thought that since the Jiang family would give the Lu family such a big favor, it would be nothing to help them a little. But now, even her husband wanted to get rid of her.

Lu Youwei didn’t care about her. He walked directly to his father and said, “Dad, the Jiang family also has some responsibilities in this. Old Master Jiang accepted such a request from Zhou He, which was obviously a trick.”

“Nonsense!” Even Lu Zhenhai’s voice trembled, “I would accept that too if I were him.”

The Lu family’s status had declined those years, while the Jiang family was on top in the capital because of Jiang Rui. It was a big bargain for the Lu family to get a favor from the Jiang family. They had planned to ask Jiang Rui to get a five-year right of purchasing for them when the military purchasing would start the next year.

Then the Lu family could maintain a status in the capital for at least ten years. Alas…

“Dad, should we find old Master Jiang?” The third son of the Lu family suggested.

Lu Zhenhai shook his head knocked his stick on the floor with a distressed expression, “Don’t even think about that. The Jiang family used this chance to get rid of us on purpose.”

“Then they are being unreasonable!”

“Unreasonable? Lu Zhenhai was too angry to stay calm, “We created the chance for them ourselves, and it would be foolish not to make use of it.” He pointed at Zhouhe who was crying while groveling on the floor, “If you have a solution to this, you can still be a half daughter of the Lu family. Or Youwei will divorced you right away.”

Zhou He stood up in tears. She looked at her husband and her son, both of whom ignored her sight. She could only cover her face and run out.

Lu Qi didn’t know what happened to her mother. When she found there was no noise outside, she picked up her phone again and called Zhou He. But Zhou He didn’t answer the phone, so she called Lu Tao next.

“Brother, why did you leave?”

Lu Tao said impatiently, “There is something wrong at home. You should stay with the Jiang family now.” After he finished his words, he hung up right away without giving her a chance to talk.

“Something wrong at home?” Lu Qi murmured, “Then you just forget about me?” She stood up furiously and threw the phone on the floor.

Chen Chen heard that she had stopped messing up and tried to go back to the living room, but she was pushed back to the room and was locked up. Even the dinner was delivered to her by Ying Cheng.

“Why isn’t he afraid? He is still walking around in the living room.” Chen Chen said nervously, “Maybe he has been infected already and he dares to cook for us.”

“You’re concerned about my brother?” Ying Cheng made a face to her.

Tuan Zi interrupted, “It’s normal for mum to care for my dad!”

“When did you hear that I care about him?” Chen Chen lowered her head and continued to eat, “Well, what if her issue is not contagious? Should we send her home?”

Ying Cheng knew she was trying to switch the subject, but he didn’t expose her feelings, “It’s up to her. But if I were her, I would leave as soon as possible.”

Only after a while, they witnessed how stupid and persistent the woman was.

At midnight, Chen Chen awakened when she heard someone talking in the living room. She put on her overcoat and went out. They were the two soldiers who had been there in the daytime.

“Officer, they’ve noticed and want to take her back.”

A sharp light shone in Jiang Rui’s eyes. He said, “Nice try. The last time it was a traitor from them. From now on, anyone found by us has nothing to do with them.”

“But… if the leaders don’t agree…” The soldier who had been smiling became serious as he spoke, “It won’t be nice.”

“They don’t dare.” Jiang Rui coldly smiled, “The guns are in our hands. If they want to be in charge, they have to ask about our opinions.”

The smiley soldier nodded, “Then should Lu Qi continue staying in your home?”

“Yes. She is the only clue. The one who implanted the virus in her will come to find her.” Jiang Rui suddenly smiled and said, “Tell them that as long as Lu Qi is still here, they cannot interfere. Of course, if she leaves my home, it will be up to them.”

Although she didn’t understand what Jiang Rui meant, she knew from his expression that he must be scheming against someone again.

“Can we move freely?” Chen Chen waited for them to leave and walked up to Jiang Rui, “It is close to the New Year and Tuan Zi wanted to buy fireworks!”

Jiang Rui glanced at her and replied, “You both can’t go out without Ying Cheng’s or my presence. As for fireworks and all the other stuff used for New Year, they will all be delivered here in a few days.”

“But… the New Year party?” Chen Chen asked, “Tuan Zi has never been to one!”

Jiang Rui thought for a minute and said, “She can go if she wants.”

Chen Chen was satisfied. She went back to sleep after saying good night. When she lay in bed, she saw Jiang Rui walk in.

“You still sleep here?”

“You can sleep on the couch, but you’d better tie yourself up.” Jiang Rui said while taking off his clothes, “If you sleepwalk and attack me during the night, I may kill you by accident.”

Chen Chen froze. After Jiang Rui went into the bathroom, she was angry and hit the bed with her fists. She hadn’t yet argued with him for putting her underwear in his closet. And he even switched their toothbrushes and towels into a pair. She couldn’t even get her teeth nicely cleaned.

“You’re really quick.” After Jiang Rui got out of the bathroom, he saw Chen Chen tie her feet to the leg of the couch, he said, “Sleep.”

During night, Jiang Rui was awakened by that noise again. Chen Chen groveled on the floor like last night. But it looked quite strange with her feet tied on the couch. He rubbed his eyebrows and walked over. He wanted to take her to the bed, but he found that it was a tight knot.

“I’ve never seen anyone so stupid.” Jiang Rui really wanted to kill her and he just tore the rope in two. Then he threw her onto the bed. When he was about to sleep, he sat up and tied Chen Chen’s feet onto the leg of the bed.

Of course, it was still a tight knot…

In the morning, Chen Chen was roused by her urge to urinate. She suddenly opened her eyes and found herself in bed again, which made her so upset that she rubbed her head. Then she wanted to go to the restroom. When she got down from the bed, she fell down badly.

“Ah!” Chen Chen grabbed her waist, “It hurts so much. What is this?” She found herself tied and couldn’t untie it after much effort. She felt weird about it and said, “Do I have a special power?”

She was also tied like that the night before. Then, how did she get there? It also was a tight knot.

Chen Chen was scared and she almost peed, so she called, “Tuan Zi! Tuan Zi!”

“What is it?” Jiang Rui pushed the door open, “Tuan Zi is walking the dog with Ying Cheng.”

The woman in bed was shocked and shouted at Jiang Rui crazily, “Get me scissors as fast as you can!”

Jiang Rui’s arms were on his chest. He leaned against the door and said, “Why do I have to bring that to you? You sleepwalked again last night, which affected my sleep.”

“It is because…” Chen Chen definitely didn’t dare to say that it was because she was about to pee.
