The people around him screamed. Jiang Rui got off the car and saw a young woman falling in front of the car with blood on her forehead and back.
He squatted down and reached out to feel the woman’s artery. The woman slowly turned around; she looked delicate and beautiful. Moisture blurred her eyes, and she was gazing at Jiang Rui.
No matter who saw such a woman gazing back that way, he would helplessly hold her into his arms and show tender care for her, but Jiang Rui frowned. He could tell at a glance that the woman had just taken drugs.
“Help… help me…” After finishing her words, she fainted.
Jiang Rui looked around and found that there were a few people who were sneaking around and looking over. He picked up the woman who had passed out and placed her in the car. The crowd would instinctively trust people wearing military uniform. No one came up to ask any questions, and they voluntarily gave way to Jiang Rui so that he could turn the car around.
When he arrived at the hospital, Bear had already waited there after receiving the call. Jiang Rui laid the woman in Bear’s arms. “There was a bruise on her head, and my car hit her in the back.”
“Damn it, she comes from the Lu family!” Bear shouted when glancing at the woman.
Jiang Rui frowned. “How do you know?”
“She is the youngest daughter of the Lu family, coming back from abroad last month. She held a dance party.” Bear curled his lips. “She gave you a letter of invitation but you threw it without even looking at it.”
Jiang Rui waved his hand. “Take her to the emergency room and then contact her family.”
Bear saw him turn away, saying anxiously, “Wait for me. I’ll ask two soldiers to watch her. I’m also leaving!”
Since Bear’s car had been left behind, he got into Jiang Rui’s car, curiously asking on the way, “Where did you save her?”
“On the road. She rushed out.”
“What?” Bear chuckled. “Do you think it was intentional?”
Jiang Rui looked at him and said, “She takes drugs.”
“Taking drugs in broad daylight? Even worse, she comes from the Lu family!” Bear could not believe it.
Several generations ago, the Wen family and the Jiang family could not even have the possibility of associating with the Lu family. It was said that the Lu family came from the imperial family, and belonged to the Yellow Banner of Manchu. In the early 1990s, the Lu family still dominated the capital. But later, it was in decline, and the Lu family had few officials in the last three generations.
However, with the things passed down from ancestors, the Lu family was still barely considered as one of the prominent families in the capital. But… the Lu family was getting weaker and weaker. There were always many children in the Lu family, and those generations’ marriages had been used to form an alliance.
In their circle, there was a joke that every family had a wife who was surnamed Lu!
“Boss…” Bear suddenly said with a strange look, “If the Lu family knows that she was saved by you, it can be estimated that they will cry out expressing their thanks personally and advertise their daughter while they’re at it.”
Jiang Rui nodded. “So, I decided to tell them that it’s you who saved her.”
“You can’t frame me like this!” Bear disagreed. Everyone knew that every daughter-in-law coming from the Lu family was a vampire, who desperately made profit for the Lu family at the expense of her husband’s family.
Jiang Rui glanced at him. “You can think it over. And, she is not ugly.”
Bear was stunned. He felt that the woman was fairly beautiful, belonging to a different kind of beauty compared to Mrs. Jiang, but she was definitely a beauty! Boss actually said that she was not ugly…
“Where are we going?” He found that it was not the way back to the Jiang family’s residence.
“We’re going to Pick up Chen Chen.” Jiang Rui pulled over and called Chen Chen. A few minutes later, Chen Chen walked out of the restaurant with Tuan Zi, followed by Xie Hong and Wen Yuze.
Bear got it. “It’s Wen Pintang’s wife. She came to express her thanks?”
Chen Chen and Xie Hong had made another appointment at her house and then waved goodbye. Seeing Jiang Rui get off to open the door for her, Xie Hong smiled faintly. She was somewhat contemptuous of Chen Chen, who was just a girl out of nowhere.
However, when she saw Jiang Rui drive her there in person and helping her get into the car, Xie Hong knew that what she did that day was right. It was okay even if Chen Chen had no backing, because Jiang Rui was her strongest backing, so she could do anything at her will in the capital!
“Mom, can I play with Tuan Zi?” Wen Yuze focused his black eyes on his mother. The Wen family was strict in his friend making, so that he was increasingly unwilling to contact others.
Xie Hong nodded. “Of course, we will pay a New Year call to Tuan Zi!”
“Dad!” Tuan Zi, who had been staring at Jiang Rui since she got into the car, finally said, “I smell blood on you.”
Chen Chen was shocked, but before she asked, Bear shouted. “Tuan Zi! Can you smell it? Do geniuses have the same nose as a dog’s?”
“Definitely not. I’m not Hei Zi.” The little girl pouted. “Dad, were you injured?”
Jiang Rui touched her head. “I’m okay. I saved a person just now.”
“What happened?” Chen Chen asked. Bear took the initiative to tell the story. After listening to the story, Chen Chen’s first words were, “It must be a beautiful woman!”
Bear thought that Chen Chen was quite smart that day. “Mrs. Jiang, how do you know that?”
Chen Chen gave him a look, as if to say that he was an idiot. “He’s a neat freak! If she weren’t a beauty, how could he hold her?”
Bear coughed and thought that there was still something wrong with Chen Chen’s brain waves.
Jiang Rui gave her a look, as if to say that she was really an idiot. “I’m a soldier.”
Chen Chen blinked to express that she didn’t understand…
“Mrs. Jiang! We are soldiers, and we can’t ignore people who are injured.” Bear reminded her, “This is our duty!”
Tuan Zi applauded. “Dad is so great!”
Bear got close to her. “How about Uncle Bear?”
“Well, you are also great!” Tuan Zi raised Hei Zi’s paws and gave a salute!
They talked and laughed all the way home, and when they went through the door, Ying Cheng rushed over to them. “Oh my God, where did you go?I am starving!”
“Why did you come back so early? Jiang Rui said that you returned home, didn’t you?” Chen Chen asked curiously.
Ying Cheng looked at her with a very weird look, and then went back to normal when Jiang Rui came in. “Because I miss you. Are you touched?”
“Uncle!” Tuan Zi placed Hei Zi in his hands. “Great, you can lead Hei Zi to take a shit!”
“Have you all had dinner?” Ying Cheng only cared about that.
Chen Chen pointed to Jiang Rui. “I believe he hasn’t.”
“Brother!” Ying Cheng pleaded obsequiously.
Jiang Rui changed his clothes and went to cook in the kitchen. When he finished serving the dishes, Bear who had just parted with them at the community gate gave him a call.
“Boss, the Lu family wants to see you at the hospital.”
“I told you to tell them that you saved the woman, didn’t I?” Jiang Rui frowned. “You go to see them.” Then he hung up the phone.
When he was playing the game of Go with Tuan Zi after the meal, Bear called him again.
“Boss, the girl woke up and recognized that I wasn’t the one who saved her.”
Jiang Rui’s patience was wearing thin. “Then leave the place.”
“But she has to see you…” There was a sudden noise coming from the other side of the phone, and then a female voice sounded. “Chief Jiang, thank you for saving me today.”
Jiang Rui said coldly. “You’re welcome. That’s what I should do because I hit you.”
“No no no!” The woman anxiously explained on the other side of the phone. “You didn’t hit me, I fell over myself.” She paused, as if she was thinking about something, then she said, “Chief Jiang, my family wants to thank you. When will you be free? I want to invite you to dinner!”
Jiang Rui frowned. “Miss Lu, since you are fine, I’ll ask my soldiers to leave. Furthermore, never call me to express your thanks in the future, because it’s not necessary.” After finishing his words, he hung up the phone before she reacted.
Lu Qi almost cried in the hospital; she had never been ignored in such a way.
“Miss Lu, can you return my phone to me?” Bear looked at her disdainfully. She boldly snatched his phone; she deserved it!
Lu Qi rubbed her nose immediately. “Sorry, I was anxious to thank Chief Jiang.”
Bear took the phone. “Since Miss Lu’s family has arrived and you’re fine, we’re leaving now.”
“Wait a minute!” Lu Qi stopped him, blushing and saying with a pair of hazy eyes, “I… I… I want to ask if Chief Jiang is very busy.”
“No,” Bear deliberately said, “Our boss has been on vacation, staying with Mrs. Jiang and their daughter at home!”
Lu Qi was shocked, with her eyes open widely. “Is… is he married?”
At that time, Lu Tao, who went to go through the discharge procedure, had returned. He was Lu Qi’s second elder brother, followed by their mother Zhou He.
“We’re leaving. We have to return to report the situation.” Bear nodded at Lu Tao.
Lu Tao quickly said, “Please send our thanks to Chief Jiang. If there is a chance, I must thank him in person!”
Bear waved his hand to ask Lu Tao not to mind that, leading two soldiers away.
Zhou He wiped her tears and sat down beside Lu Qi. “Now you know the danger, so don’t hang out at parties.”
“Mom!” Lu Qi pouted. “I am okay!”
“It will be too late if something happens.” Lu Tao was in a bad mood. “Going to the bar in daytime and taking ecstasy without knowing, don’t you think it’s scary?”
Lu Qi cried again. “How can I not be afraid? I am not willing to think back about it, but you’re reminding me of that again.”
“Stop! Stop!” Zhou He looked at Lu Tao angrily. “Don’t scare your sister.”
Lu Tao sighed. “Xiao Qi, think it over. Did those people say anything noteworthy?”
“What do you mean?” Even if Lu Qi was inexperienced and naive, hearing what he said, she could understand that there was something wrong.
Zhou He was also shocked. “Ah Tao, what do you mean? Do you suspect that those people framed Xiao Qi deliberately?”
Lu Qiyi said with her eyes open wide, “Are you sure? I just came back from abroad and I’ve never offend anyone. Why do they want to frame me?”
“You are the only unmarried daughter in our family. In the previous dancing party, many people inquired about you by all means for the purpose of establishing an alliance.” Lu Tao rolled his eyes. “I suspect that someone wanted to frame you. He drugged you, to have sex as with you, then offer marriage to save you.”
Zhou He yelled angrily. “Who is it? Who dares to frame you by such shameless means?”
“I will find that out.” Lu Tao saw her sister bow her head in silence, thinking that she was afraid. “It’s okay. Don’t go out during this time.”
However, Lu Qi was considering it would be great if it were Jiang Rui. Before she passed out, she saw the man’s face; he was very handsome and powerful… But why did he get married?
