Chapter 266: Chapter 266

266: Chapter 266 We’re Going into the Wolf’s Den 266: Chapter 266 We’re Going into the Wolf’s Den Jiang You couldn’t argue with him, so she let him be.

She returned to her room and locked the door from inside.

Previously, she had been completely off guard around Gu Beiyan, but now…

If she wasn’t cautious, she would really be entering the wolf’s den.

After taking a bath and changing clothes, Jiang You lay in bed and recited her lines for a while, not knowing when she fell asleep.

Su He finished her consultation at City First Hospital and left.

She went to DK Corporation to find Jiang Yan.

When she arrived at the office, Jiang Yan had just returned from a meeting.

Jiang Feng and Jiang Qi saw her and consciously didn’t follow, leaving the space for the couple.

After all, their young madam would have to return to F country in a few days.

Su He sat in his big office chair, her hands on the armrests and chin resting on her palms, admiring the man in front of her dressed in a well-tailored suit, with handsome features that one could never tire of looking at.

And the more she looked, the more addictive it seemed.

When Jiang Yan saw her, his gaze unconsciously softened, and a hint of indulgence spilled from his eyes.

He looked at her, his eyebrows slightly raised, teasing her, “Mr.

Su, are you here to inspect the work?”

Su He played along, “Yes, to see if President Jiang has been slacking off behind my back and if he has been earning money for me dutifully.”

The deep eyes of the man sparkled with amusement as he walked to her side, held the back of the chair, and spun it gently to face him, then leaned over resting his hands on the armrests.

Su He didn’t dodge; she was used to it.

As the man leaned over, her hands naturally climbed onto his shoulders, embracing his neck.

Her lips curved, “After all, maintaining me and our son is quite expensive.”

Jiang Yan pecked her lips gently and chuckled, “Affording another daughter wouldn’t be a problem either.”

Su He smiled even more brilliantly, “What if it’s another son?

This time, Su He didn’t refuse the idea of having a second child.

But she always followed the principle of letting nature take its course.

“If so, that means I don’t have a fate with a daughter, and to prevent another naughty boy from competing for your attention, let’s not have more,” he said indulgently.

Su He was somewhat surprised; he wasn’t insistent anymore.

This time, it was Jiang Yan who seemed reluctant to have a second child.

Ever since his last return from F country, during their intimate moments, he had always taken contraception measures deliberately.

Su He raised her eyebrows lightly, “So, you mean, you’re not planning on having a second child?”

“Yeah, no more children.”

“For no particular reason, a family of three is pretty good already.”

Just as Su He was about to say something, the man’s lips landed on hers again, silencing her.

Soon, her thoughts were scattered by his gentle yet provocative kiss.

He only made her weak in the knees, nothing more.

This was unlike his usual style.

But naturally, she didn’t point it out, or else if he changed his mind later, she would be the one suffering.

Jiang Yan wrapped his arm around her waist, and they both sat on the sofa.

While caressing her hand, he casually started discussing gossip with her, “A few days ago, Gu came to see me, said he wants to get married.”

Su He was slightly stunned but quickly recovered, “Oh, with whom?”

“I don’t know, he didn’t say,” Jiang Yan said: “Before, Gu was the least believing in marriage, but I didn’t expect that one day he would suddenly come around.”

“Why didn’t he believe in marriage?” Su He asked, raising an eyebrow curiously.

Jiang Yan explained, “Uncle Gu made some wrong choices when he was young, leading to his mother’s death when he was eight, so the relationship between him and his father isn’t exactly bad, but it’s not good either.”

Su He understood, but still…

She wasn’t sure whether to talk about Jiang You and Gu Beiyan’s matter, and Jiang You had asked her not to tell her brother.

After some thought, she decided not to mention it.

He would find out eventually anyway.

She changed the subject, “Jiang You isn’t young anymore, surely you wouldn’t oppose her dating?”

Jiang Yan’s eyebrows slightly knitted, “As long as she doesn’t get into deadly trouble, she can do whatever she wants.”

Su He chuckled lightly, “She’s even scared to kiss in a play fearing you would scold her, let alone causing a fatality, she wouldn’t dare, even if you lend her ten times the courage.”

She then shifted the topic and asked another question, “By the way, do you have any requirements for Jiang You’s partner?”

Jiang Yan glanced down at her, his brow slightly raised, “Like?”

Su He continued, “Like age, identity, status.”

The man replied, “Those aren’t issues, as long as the age difference isn’t too big.”

Su He mentally calculated the age difference between Gu Beiyan and Jiang You, which wasn’t too bad, just about five or six years.

“Then do you think anyone around you would be suitable for her?” she asked again.

Jiang Yan was puzzled, frowning slightly, “Why are you so concerned about this girl today?”

Su He chuckled nonchalantly, “I’ve always been quite concerned about her.

After all, Jiang You is at the age to discuss marriage and as her brother and sister-in-law, it’s natural for us to worry about her lifelong matters.”

Jiang Yan’s expression darkened slightly, murmuring, “Actually, whether she marries or not doesn’t really matter, the Jiang family can support her for a lifetime.”

Although he usually was quite strict with her, he never really thought about her getting married one day.

Then, the man answered her previous question, “People around me, there’s no one suitable for her.”

At four in the afternoon.

Jiang Yan then left DK with Su He.

The couple went to the kindergarten to pick up Su Baobao.

Su Baobao was particularly happy to see them.

He rushed towards Su He, who crouched down and hugged him.

“Mommy, how come you and daddy have time to pick me up today?” Su Baobao visibly brightened, glancing back and forth at both of them.

“These recent days, mommy has been personally coming to pick you up after school,” Su He smiled, straightening his clothes and pinching his little cheek.

Hearing this, Su Baobao happily jumped up and down on the spot.

“Mommy, baby wants to eat burgers and fries, can we?” Su Baobao asked Su He tentatively.

Su He lightly brushed his little nose with her finger, “Sure, let’s go.”

With that, she picked him up.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan was about to say he could carry the child as the little guy was not light.

Su Baobao quickly shook his head, hugged Su He’s neck tightly, and in a soft, glutinous voice said, “Daddy, I want Mommy to hold me~”

The little one knew that Su He would be going back to France in a few days.

Naturally, he wanted to stick close to Mommy as much as possible, otherwise, it would be a long wait before he could do so again.

“Daddy, you can cuddle with Mommy at night and sleep, but Baobao can only stay alone miserably in his own children’s room, so let me have Mommy during the day, don’t fight with me for Mommy and don’t be jealous.” Su Baobao lectured the man like a little adult.

After the couple took the little one to eat the burgers and fries he had been longing for, and wanting the little one to digest the food, they went to the nearby mall for a stroll.

It was rare for the family of three to walk the streets together, but there were always people who came to disturb.

Lou Ruozhi, upon hearing the news that someone had seen Jiang Yan here, hurried over.

It was almost harder than reaching the sky for her to get a meeting with Jiang Yan now.

But at this moment, when she saw Su He and Jiang Yan holding a child, she was stunned.

Could it be that the child Su He was pregnant with back then didn’t die?

“Ah Yan.” She called out nervously.

Hearing this, Su He and Jiang Yan paused their steps and turned towards the voice, only to see Lou Ruozhi, who was usually dressed in glamorous attire, standing there with a haggard face.

It had been a long time since Su He had seen her, and if it weren’t for her sudden appearance today, she would have forgotten such a person existed.

However, she had heard Jiang Yan mention Lou Ziang, heard that his company abroad had encountered issues.

Last time in France, Lou Ziang wanted to partner with Situ Yuan, but unfortunately, Situ Yuan had been imprisoned, unable to save herself, let alone him.

Jiang Yan glanced at her indifferently, then looked away, with no intention of dealing with her.

As for Su He, she even less intended to acknowledge Lou Ruozhi.

The couple turned a corner with the little one and walked in the other direction.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Lou Ruozhi hurriedly followed them, wanting to grab Jiang Yan’s hand, but before she could touch him, she was ruthlessly avoided by the man.

Fei Xu and Jiang Feng, who had been following from a distance, saw this and immediately ran up to block her.

“Ah Yan, I have something to say to you, can you give me a chance?” Lou Ruozhi had no choice but to lower her posture and beg Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan’s face was expressionless, “I have nothing to say to you!”

“Ah Yan, I am your mother after all.

Without me, you wouldn’t be standing here.

Can’t you consider our mother-son relationship and give me a chance to talk to you properly?” Despite fearing him, Lou Ruozhi had no other choice but to come to him.

Jiang Yan’s expression was dark, but he was trying hard to control his emotions, because the little one was still there.

At that moment, Lou Ruozhi’s gaze turned to the adorable Su Baobao.

She said, “This child is…”

“It has nothing to do with you!” Jiang Yan coldly interrupted her.

“Baobao, you go with Fei Xu to wait in the car first, Mommy and Daddy have some matters to settle,” said Su He, not really wanting Su Yimo to have any contact with Lou Ruozhi.

She also knew that Lou Ruozhi wouldn’t easily give up until she accomplished her goal, and she didn’t want Su Yimo to see these unpleasant scenes or hear unsavory words.

Su Yimo cooperated well and didn’t fuss, “Okay, Mommy.”

Su He turned to Fei Xu and said, “Fei Xu, please take the child and leave first.”

Fei Xu nodded, “Yes, Young Madam.”

Then, several of them sat down in the nearby resting area, except that Lou Ruozhi was standing.

Whether she stood or sat made no difference to Jiang Yan.

Lou Ruozhi carefully watched him, seeing that he had no intention of speaking, she took the initiative to speak.

“Ah Yan, can you help the Lou Family?”

“You want me to help your son, right?” Jiang Yan glanced at her with cold eyes, “Do you think that’s possible?

Or do you think you have any right to ask me to help him?”

Lou Ruozhi’s expression froze, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face.

“Regardless, Ziang is your brother, and the Lou Family is also your grandfather’s lifetime effort.

You can’t just stand by and watch him being bullied, and the Lou Family having no one to continue, right?”

Lou, are you here to joke?” Jiang Yan, with his lips curled, scoffed, his eyebrows filled with coldness, “What does the Lou Family’s lack of succession have to do with my Jiang Family?”

Honestly, Jiang Yan doesn’t have any familial affection for the people of the Lou Family.

In fact, he has never even met his so-called grandfather, who had passed away before he was even born.

Jiang Yan’s coldness and ruthlessness had surpassed Lou Ruozhi’s understanding of him.

“Ah Yan, you can’t be so heartless, to see your brother in danger and do nothing, right?” She gritted her teeth, struggling to control her emotions.

Jiang Yan sneered, “I might as well tell you, I orchestrated everything.

His company went bankrupt overnight, burdened with billions in debt, and the demise of the Lou Family was all my doing in the shadows.

You think I set up such a big trap, finally destroyed it, and now you want me to restore it?

Don’t you think you’re daydreaming?”

“You, what did you say?” Lou Ruozhi looked at him in shocked disbelief.

Jiang Yan’s words were a huge blow to her, her anger flaring instantly, her repressed emotions erupted, and she shouted at him, “Why would you do this?

He is your brother; why would you completely annihilate him?

If I knew you would treat our Lou Family this way, I should have strangled you at birth!”

Su He, hearing her last sentence, was completely shaken, she stared intensely at Lou Ruozhi.

She was just about to speak, but the man beside her held her wrist, signaling her not to speak.

She looked at him with some worry, but his expression remained calm, with no emotional response to Lou Ruozhi’s words.

Because of Lou Ruozhi’s shouting, passersby started looking over.

Fortunately, Jiang Feng had brought people with him, and the hidden bodyguards came forward and formed a semi-circle.

“No more pretending?” Jiang Yan lifted his eyelids, his gaze cold as frost toward Lou Ruozhi, “Just now I thought you were going to continue playing the loving mother in front of me, but it didn’t take a few minutes for you to drop the act?”

Lou Ruozhi stiffened all over, feeling apprehensive and a chill down her spine when she met Jiang Yan’s dark, somber eyes.

“I’ve always known you didn’t want me alive, anyway, it’s not the first time you’ve said such things, you’ve probably even forgotten how many times you’ve said them yourself?

So, why would you come to me and ask for help from someone you never wanted alive?

Don’t you think you’re being contradictory?

The one who wants me dead is you, and the one who wants me to save the Lou Family, to save your son, is also you.

You want to take credit for everything, don’t you?”

Jiang Yan’s voice was calm, his face showing no sign of being hurt.

He had no expectations for Lou Ruozhi, naturally her words couldn’t hurt him.

For a moment, Lou Ruozhi didn’t know what to say, and she also knew that today she had truly angered Jiang Yan.

“Lou Guohui should have been discharged from the hospital, right?” Jiang Yan suddenly said this.

She regained her senses, somewhat flustered: “What are you going to do?”

Jiang Yan’s narrow black eyes, like black holes in the abyss, spread a sinister aura, his deep voice chilling and stern, “Naturally, I’m going to send him a big gift, it’s time for him to move to a new place.”

“Don’t worry, you will be accompanying him.”

“Don’t worry, you will be accompanying him, after all, murder requires atonement.”

Lou Ruozhi turned pale, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You will know soon,” Jiang Yan said nonchalantly.

At eleven o’clock at night.

City First Hospital, outside the emergency surgery room, stood Gu Beiyan, Jiang You’s assistant, and the film crew’s director.

Jiang Yan and Su He rushed over as soon as they received the call.

When the director saw Jiang Yan appear, he made a bold conjecture, and at the same time started to feel anxious.

“What happened?” Jiang Yan asked, frowning at Gu Beiyan.
