Chapter 1149: How Exciting!

“Director Jiang, I am telling you this to let you know that Madam Cheng’s life was not easy. Cheng Jinyan had chosen to set fire to the manor, but I hope you will not bear a grudge against him.” Huang Cheng sighed. “Cheng Jinyan is younger than me. He may appear bright and attractive, but his childhood was filled with a darkness that we could never fathom before Madam Cheng’s arrival. I am telling you all of this to let you know how important Madam Cheng is to him.”

“Director Huang, I can tell you are here as a lobbyist. Don’t worry; if he wants to burn it, then he can burn it.” Then, she mocked him. “It is a shame, Director Huang, that you are not a cop. Your ability to adapt is exceptional.”

How could Huang Cheng fail to grasp the significance of Jiang Yao’s words? He smiled and said helplessly, “The Cheng family wields considerable power in YN and LY. It is usually a good idea to establish a good relationship with them if you wish to enter the jewelry industry.”

Jiang Yao grunted as she wondered how the Cheng family could help her when even the government could not.

Furthermore, she was a dedicated businesswoman when she handled her business, and she was a good doctor when she practiced medicine. She could not care less about the Cheng family’s power.

In any case, she had Lu Xingzhi’s support.

Jiang Yao was preoccupied with her own tasks after she ended her call with Huang Chengjing.

After more than an hour’s lunch break, Lu Xiaoxiao returned to find Jiang Yao. She sat in front of Jiang Yao after entering the room; she looked left and right. She gazed at Jiang Yao up and down but said nothing.

“Is there something on my face?”

“Otherwise, why are you looking at me like that?” Jiang Yao asked.

“Sister-in-law, it was very exciting when you were kidnapped today,” Lu Xiaoxiao exclaimed abruptly. “It’s a shame I was unconscious the entire time. You were awake while that happened, right? Can you tell me about your experience? I heard from the soldiers that Brother had sent a team to Jin City to work with the police to save us. He even used a cannon. Someone claimed that he blew the gate and drove all the way into the manor’s compound.”

Lu Xiaoxiao was ecstatic because she had heard similar words from others. That was why she went to Jiang Yao; she wanted to learn about the kidnapping.

“Oh, I was also unconscious. so I have no idea.” Jiang Yao lied with a smile; she did not even blink.

Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at Jiang Yao with skepticism, but she reasoned that Jiang Yao, like her, must have been unconscious, so she did not know either.

Lu Xiaoxiao frowned and pouted because she did not get the story she wanted.

When Lu Xingzhi returned home in the evening, he was accompanied by Zhou Weiqi. Zhou Weiqi made a concerted effort to appear adorable when he saw the elders from the Lu and Jiang families. They were so fascinated that they treated him like another son.

Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Jiang told Lu Xingzhi to accompany Zhou Weiqi to the living room to talk. The two women took over the kitchen work because Zhou Weiqi said it was too crowded, and he wanted to drink some wine. Jiang Yao took the money and went downstairs to buy a few bottles of wine from the barrack’s snack bar. The little store had groceries and homemade wine, such as rice and fruit wine, which tasted pretty good. It was a massive hit with the troops.
