Zou Yi couldn’t figure it out either. He lowered his eyes and thought about it. The Jiang family was quite influential in Jingdu City. Although his master wasn’t familiar with the young masters of the Jiang family, they were still in the same circle. “Don’t you think that Boss seems to know Miss Jiang? It’s not because of the investigation of that call. I only felt this way two times recently. It seems to have happened even earlier.”
Zou Er recalled the past few times. “Really?”
Zou Yi glanced at Zou Er. “No, so do your job well. Curiosity kills the cat, understand?”
After another round of scolding, Zou Er stood up angrily and walked to the rest area to hit the sandbags.
Sea City
Zheng Wen looked at Si Cheng and couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t you have any other way to contact her?! Besides, if she’s not in Sea City, where can she be?”
Si Cheng was feeling vexed. When he heard his mother nagging at the side, he couldn’t hold it in anymore. His voice was a little loud. “1 want to know too! Didn’t you force us to get a divorce previously? Our relationship has already become like this. Of course, she doesn’t want to talk to me anymore.”
Zheng Wen was stumped by her son’s words. After a while, she said, “How could I have thought of that! Who knew that an adopted daughter of the Tan family would have such luck? By the way, will the Tan family know about her situation?”
Si Cheng narrowed his eyes and thought about this possibility carefully. Then, he shook his head. “I’m afraid the Tan family doesn’t know as much as we do. After all, there are so many people with the surname Jiang. Who would have thought that Jiang Huai is backed by the Jiang family of Xiyun?”
Zheng Wen thought about it and agreed. Wasn’t that how she was deceived? “Then what should we do now? If you can’t deal with Jiang An, the Bai family will have to hurry up. Those two bustards won’t give you so much time to prepare.”
After Si Cheng knew his feelings, he didn’t want to give up on Jiang An. Everything now was just temporary. Even if he was with Bai Ting, it was just a temporary measure. “I’ve thought about it. Jiang An has left Sea City. There’s a high chance that her parents brought her back to Jingdu City.”
Zheng Wen slapped her thigh. “That’s right. The Jiang family’s industrial center is basically in Jingdu City.”
Si Cheng thought about the urgent matter at hand and said, “I’ll settle the backlog on my hands and go to Jingdu City next week.”
With the Jiang family’s strength, Zheng Wen was naturally more inclined to Jiang An. Moreover, Jiang An had an honest personality and was easy to manipulate. Since her family background was good, her personal requirements for her could be lowered appropriately. “Alright, 1’11 help you stop the Bai family first, but I think Bai Ting is quite satisfied with you and is quite proactive in this relationship. You have to maintain her position at the same time.”
“There are two paths. Although Bai Ting’s side is the second best choice, if you can’t settle it with Jiang An, this will be your last chance to make a comeback.”
Si Cheng felt that Jiang An was throwing a tantrum now and was a little unhappy with his mother’s guess that he couldn’t handle it. “She has feelings for me, but I hurt her too deeply previously. She definitely wants to see my attitude first. Don’t worry about this matter. Wait until I’ve been to Jingdu City.”
Zheng Wen could only rely on her son now. Seeing that Si Cheng was still bent on choosing Jiang An, she couldn’t help but feel a little worried. She decided to ask the Bai family’s mother and daughter to do beauty treatments for the next two days to maintain their relationship. She couldn’t let her son mess around.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Jiang An finally contacted Tan Rou. At this moment, Tan Rou and Andrew had just left the mountains of the Tibetan Plateau and arrived in a big city. As soon as they turned on their phones, they saw more than ten missed calls from Jiang An. They hurriedly called back.
After Jiang An picked up the call, she asked with concern, “Aunt, where did you go? I haven’t been able to contact you. I almost wanted to go back to Sea City to look for you.”
Tan Rou told her about her and her boyfriend’s last-minute decision to travel for the new year, then said apologetically, “I was a little impulsive at that time, so 1 just went on the trip. I forgot about the appointment with you. I’m sorry. I heard you say that you were going back to Sea City just now. Aren’t you in Sea City now?”
Jiang An knew that Tan Rou had not been in a place with no internet signal recently, so she definitely did not know about the chaotic battle. Hence, she briefed her, but she did not deliberately say that she was the daughter of the Jiang family of Xiyun. She only invited her aunt and her aunt’s boyfriend to Jingdu City on behalf of her parents.
Tan Rou did not expect so many things to happen after she left for just over a week. There were many things that could not be explained over the phone. Moreover, she was worried that Jiang An would not be able to adapt to returning to her original family, so she agreed. “Alright, 1’11 go back to Sea City to rest for two days before going to Jingdu City to look for you..”
