Chapter 50

When suppressed to the extreme, the oppressed often turns to desperate measures.

Xu Ziqing was in the that situation. Forced to the brink of life and death, her fears vanished. She as in no hurry to flee now, she jerked back and mocked him,” Thank you for telling me all this, this is more useful than what I gathered from the listening device”.

She took the phone out of her bag, and alerted Jiang Shi Jun to who she was dialling, “ I am convinced that when my sister hears the news, she would also like to thank Mr Jiang. When we repel all the enemies of Xu together, we will owe Mr Jiang a big favour.”

Unfortunately , her words did not crush the self confidence of the man in front of her. He seemed to listen to her words without any fear. Xu Ziqing tried to see a trace of fear in his smile, but there was only arrogance. She was confused and as she looked warily at him, he started laughing.” This is a public place, do you dare to kill me here ?”

Jiang Shi Jun continued sitting, he did not move. He looked at her, as if watching a clown perform. Seeing his expression, Xu Ziqing frowned. Jiang Shi Jun said, “ Insider trading, misappropriation of public funds… so you think you can do a few years of prison time if I submit all this evidence to the police ?”

Xu Ziqing’s fingers froze.

“And you really don’t think that I will use only 45-50 billion to buy Xu, right ?”

Aa if stabbed in the heart, Xu Ziqing’s eyes widened, her eyes were incredulous.

This incredulous look, like that of a small frightened animal caught in the trap- Jiang Shi Jin found extremely enjoyable.

He kept looking at her and said, “ I have found out about your theft long ago. Why so you think I haven’t exposed it till today ? I fed you false news so that , step by step, I could lure your sister’s capital into saving Xu. But unfortunately this will he a bottomless pit. As long as your sister does not give up, soon she will lose Xu and have a mountain of debts in her name.”

“……” “…”

“ No matter what you do, the outcome can only be one, that is..”, Jiang Shi Jin deliberately paused here. He was very satisfied to see the almost death like expression on the woman’s face. He delivered the last blow very slowly, “… bankruptcy.”

All the counterattack was broken by the words of the powerful enemy.

Suddenly everything was quiet.

For a long time, Xu Ziqing did not react. Her eyes were no longer panicked, but desperate. Compared to fear, desperation was even more horrible.

Jiang Shi Jun finally stood up and walked up slowly to her side, “ You know your father has actually left Xu to Yan Liang.This is not your matter. If you actually want to step out, I can cut you some slack.”

After saying this, Jiang Shi Jun carefully watched the face of the young woman. Finally, he raised his hand to lovingly caress the side of her face.

This smile of consolation was even more hypocritical than his actions. “ You should know your sister better than I do. Even if she goes bankrupt she will continue fighting for Xu. What about you ? Are you willing to accompany her ?”

“……” “…”

“ Your mother spent most of her life as the second wife, but she managed to get you an inheritance.”

Xu Ziqing suddenly felt a pang in her heart. She turned to look at him; the faint light that replaced the earlier blankness in her eyes did not escape the eyes of Jiang Shi Jun.

As if urging someone to do good,Jiang Shi Jun placed a hand on her shoulder.” Although you are stupid, you have one advantage – you are selfish. I am telling you , you can leave Yan Liang’s side. Even if you are not afraid of going to jail, you will become penniless.”

“……” “…”

“If I were you, I would take the inheritance I had and spend my time abroad. I would not trundle though muddy waters.”

His speech finished, Jiang Shi Jun switched off the consoling look on his face, withdrew his hand and left.

He left behind one person standing in the empty office, her face expressionless, her heart in a mess until she managed to restore herself to calmness after a long time.

Xu Ziqing looked down at her phone, she had not dialled the entire string of numbers. She shook her head as if wanting to dislodge a terrible idea.

She continued to dial, but the speed slowed, till at the end, she completely stopped.

It was so quiet, even the sound of breathing could not be heard in the office. But Xu Ziqing seemed to hear a voice faintly echoing in her ear…

I tell you, you should leave Yan Liang’s side. Even if you are not afraid of jail, you will become penniless..

..impoverished..

Three days later.

Yan Liang got up early in the morning.

Though Jiang Yu Nan was responsible for making breakfast, for the first time, Yan Liang decided to put in some effort.

Jiang Yu Nan awakened after a long nightmare. The same nightmare haunted him frequently during the last few days, so he was prepared. As he suddenly opened his eyes, he diverted his mind away from the dream.

Unfortunately, when he saw the empty bed, that familiar fear gripped him.

Empty bed.. no traces of her existence.. this scene was similar to the beginning of his nightmare..

At this time, there was a sound at the door. Jiang Yu Nan’s eyes followed the sound. His eyes reflected a strange emotion for a second, then everything was whitewashed, “Up so early?”

He smiled at her.

Yan Liang also sweetly smiled in response, “ Get up quickly, I have made fried eggs for breakfast. “

Jiang Yu Nan could not believe it. She was wearing an apron and had a spatula in her hand. He washed at the fastest speed possible and came to the dining room.

Sure enough the food on the table didn’t look like much, but it was enough for a hearty breakfast.

Seeing him standing motionless in front of the table, Ya Liang tiptoed from behind and put her arms around his neck, “What are you doing ?”

Jiang Yu Nan turned back to look at his wife for a moment, the complex emotions in his eyes being replaced with a relaxing look,” if I tell you that this is the first time in more than a decade that someone has made breakfast for me, will you allow me to say I don’t have the heart to eat it?”

Yan Liang was stunned.

But then she grinned and blatantly teased him,” Who will believe that of the elegant Jiang Yu Nan? So many women are willing to cook for you. . You are just afraid that what I cooked is unpalatable, so you have come up with such an excuse.”

After she said that, she put her hands on his shoulders and pushed him in the chair, “ I am ordering you to eat it all.”

Jiang Yu Nan did not explain further. Her hands were around his neck and her body was leaning on him as she waited for him to eat. He just smiled, cut the bacon, and forked a piece in her mouth, “Are you going back to the mansion today to accompany your mother ?”

“My mother is not feeling well recently, and her health seems to be worsening. I want to spend some time with her.”

Having said that, half an hour later, Yan Liang got into her car to drive to the Mingting group
