Chapter 268: Chapter 268

268: Chapter 268: Too Busy with My Wife 268: Chapter 268: Too Busy with My Wife “Let me out, let me out!”

“I didn’t hurt anyone, she got what she deserved.”

“She insulted me first, she disrespected me as an elder…”

She kept mumbling on.

The police officer guarding her understood the situation and also knew that the injured person was this woman’s daughter.

“She is your daughter, even if there are conflicts, you should not resort to physical violence.

If this had resulted in death, even as the victim’s mother, you would face criminal charges.” Officer Xiao Wang advised her, “Stop shouting here, it’s no use.

Whether you’re guilty or not will be determined through an investigation.”

Jiang Yan and Su He arrived at the police station and had no intentions to visit Lou Ruozhi.

Jiang Yan was there to submit evidence, and also for the car accident that had happened over twenty years ago.

The chief personally came out to greet them, “President Jiang, rest assured, we will handle these two cases seriously, and we will not let any lawbreaker get away.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble Director Li.” This matter had weighed heavily on Jiang Yan’s mind for many years.

“It’s no trouble, no trouble at all.

It is our duty,” Director Li quickly waved his hand.

This great Buddha before him was Yue City’s own God of Wealth; he surely needed to be revered.

At that moment, the police officer guarding Lou Ruozhi jogged over, “Director Li, Mrs.

Lou keeps insisting on seeing President Jiang.”

Hearing this, Director Li was somewhat uncertain and looked at the man to ask his opinion, “President Jiang, would you like to meet her?”

Just follow the normal procedures; you don’t have to consider who she is.” Jiang Yan harbored no deep feelings for Lou Ruozhi.

“Understood,” replied Director Li, who wasn’t surprised.

He had heard about the disputes between the Jiang and Lou families, so Jiang Yan’s current attitude towards the Lou family seemed normal.

Then, Jiang Yan and the others left the police station.

“Director Li, she is after all President Jiang’s birth mother, isn’t this a bit too heartless?” One of the officers couldn’t quite fathom it.

“Not everyone is fit to be a mother.

If you had gone through what he has, you would know this isn’t heartless at all,” Director Li said meaningfully.

Jiang Yan and Su He had just walked out of the police station when they met Lou Guohui getting out of a police car.

Before they had arrived at the station, Jiang Yan had instructed Jiang Feng to call the police; Lou Guohui had been brought directly from the hospital, still in his hospital gown.

Jiang Yan had planned to deal with this in a few days, but Jiang You was injured last night, so he moved up the schedule.

Lou Guohui didn’t expect to meet him here.

When taken away by the police, he had been confused, but at this moment, it seemed he understood everything.

As he passed by Jiang Yan, he stopped and turned to look at him, “She is still your mother after all.

Let her go; this matter has nothing to do with her.”

Lou Guohui knew that Jiang Yan must have found enough evidence, otherwise, he wouldn’t be here today.

“And Ziang, he’s innocent, he’s also your brother.”

Jiang Yan listened expressionlessly to his words.

Su He furrowed her brows.

She turned back to look coldly at Lou Guohui, “You really are cut from the same cloth, always fond of taking the moral high ground with these worthless words.

Their innocence is not for you to decide.”

“As a mother, Lou Ruozhi only thought to exploit her son and daughter, even to the point of wanting their lives.

Do you think she’s innocent?

And your ‘innocent’ son, who wants my husband’s life, which of your eyes saw their innocence?

Lou, even if you want to blatantly lie, you should at least weigh their actions, shouldn’t you?”

“Don’t worry, since the three of you care so much for each other, we won’t let you be separated.

Su He truly saw the Lou family in a new light; they were just as shameless.

With that said, she took Jiang Yan by the hand and left.

Lou Guohui watched the two leave, his face expression twisted in an ugly manner.

“Are you angry?” Jiang Yan noticed her grim expression after she got in the car.

“No, I’m just thinking about something,” she wondered, “Do you think Dad regretted marrying her?”

Jiang hadn’t married Ruozi back then, perhaps he could have lived a long life, watching his children grow up, establish families, and build their careers.

Jiang Yan was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Probably not.

If he really regretted it, he wouldn’t have left that money for her.”

Hearing his reasoning, Su He thought it sort of made sense, but she still felt that Mr.

Jiang deserved better.

“If Dad hadn’t married her, I might not have existed, and then you wouldn’t belong to me, and you’d miss out on having such an outstanding and money-making husband,” Jiang Yan seemed to have come to terms with this and didn’t want to dwell on it.

After all, no one can choose their own origins.

Su He raised an eyebrow and steered the conversation in another direction: “Why do I feel like you’re bragging about being good at making money?”

Jiang Yan extended his hand to gently grasp her chin, lifted it slightly, leaned in close to her forehead, and looked at her intently and passionately, saying, “Am I not telling the truth?”

Jiang Feng in the front row hastily put down his sun visor, ‘do not look at impropriety…’

Such a scene was not meant for a common man like him to witness.

His life was more important.

During the two days Jiang You was hospitalized, she hadn’t seen Gu Beiyan at all since he had left that day.

Jiang You tried to convince herself she was used to his absence and felt fine about it, but deep down, there was a subtle sense of loss that, nonetheless, didn’t affect her mood.

On the third day, she was finally discharged from the hospital, picked up by Ruan Qing and Lu Ling.

Su He had initially said she would come to get her, but then she messaged that something suddenly came up and she couldn’t make it.

Just as Jiang You got into the car, she received a text from Jiang Nanche.

Jiang Nanche had no idea about Jiang You’s injury because he had just returned from a business trip from the United States.

As soon as he arrived, he heard from Hesong that Five and Beiyan were having a match at the boxing club.

He hadn’t seen them fight for a long time, so right after he landed, he rushed straight to the venue.

He thought Jiang You would be there since she liked to join the crowd.

Afraid that he wouldn’t arrive in time and miss the exciting moment, he sent her a message, “Remember to record the sparring between Five and Beiyan for me.

I’m afraid I won’t make it.”

Little did he know, Jiang You had no clue about this event.

After receiving his message, Jiang You immediately dialed his phone.

“What are my brother and Beiyan sparring about?

Where are they sparring?”

As soon as Jiang Nanche picked up, Jiang You bombarded him with questions.

Jiang Nanche was taken aback, “You don’t know?”

“If I knew, would I still be asking you?” Jiang You rolled her eyes in frustration, “Hurry up and tell me, where are they?”

7 Boxing Club,” Jiang Nanche said, then quickly added, “If you get there early, remember to record a video for me.”

What replied to him was the mechanical sound of the phone being hung up…

After hanging up on him, Jiang You promptly told Ruan Qing to change the destination, “Ms.

7 Boxing Club, don’t go home.”

What are you going to the boxing club for?” Ruan Qing asked.

“Something important.” Jiang You had a strange feeling.

It was not like her brother and Gu Beiyan to be impulsive.

How come they decided to spar all of a sudden?

And if they were to spar, they wouldn’t keep it from her.

At the very least, they would give her a heads up.

Had it not been for the message from Jiang Nanche just now, she might not have known at all.

Suddenly, a possibility popped into her head – could it be that her brother found out about Gu Beiyan’s feelings for her?

“Hey, Old Wan,” Xiao Si nudged Mu Qi, who was proper and serious next to him, “Why would Old Gu and Ah Yan spar out of the blue?

Has Old Gu lost his mind?

He’s not unaware of how good Ah Yan is at martial arts.

Isn’t this deliberately asking for a beating?”

Xiao Si couldn’t figure it out when he heard the news.

“Is there really someone who’s that bored to look for trouble?”

Wan Muqi’s expression was indifferent; he raised an eyebrow slightly, his voice calm and unhurried, “How have you so readily convinced yourself that Gu Beiyan is looking for trouble?”

“If he’s not looking for trouble, could he possibly defeat Ah Yan?” Xiao Si had witnessed Jiang Yan’s boxing skills, having experienced them once himself – an experience he would never forget for the rest of his life.

He had sworn, never to endure a second time.

“He’s definitely not going to win.” Wan Muqi had his conclusion about the outcome early on, then he changed the topic, “But maybe he can win someone’s heart, then this beating wouldn’t be for nothing.”

Xiao Si listened, bewildered, “Win whose heart?”

Wan Muqi hinted no further, merely smiling, “Just enjoy the show with peace of mind, don’t ask too much.

You will be told when it’s time for you to know.”

“You still keep these secrets from me, is that fun?” Xiao Si’s curiosity was piqued, itching to know the answer.

Wan Muqi intentionally refused to tell him, his thin lips curved into a teasing smile, “It’s interesting.”

The two on the stage had changed into their outfits.

Seated below the stage were Su He, Wan Muqi, Xiao Si, Jiang Feng, and others.

Only Lu Zhiyang hadn’t come.

Xiao Si had informed him, but the man simply replied: “Accompanying the wife, I’m busy!”

“Sister-in-law.” Seeing that Wan Muqi was ignoring him, Xiao Si turned his attention to Su He.

Ever since he found out she was Nil, his admiration for her escalated, and he felt fortunate to have Nil as his sister-in-law – a privilege many would vie for in vain.

Su He responded, “What’s up?”

“Do you know why they suddenly want to fight?” Xiao Si’s phrasing was direct.

Su He was always with Jiang Yan, being his closest companion; she must know.

She had learned everything that day at the hospital entrance.

“You will find out soon enough; no need to rush,” she replied, her words not differing much from Wan Muqi’s.

A lump formed in Xiao Si’s throat, neither swallowing nor spitting it out, his curiosity aroused, desperately wanting to know the answer.

Su He said no more, her gaze returning to the ring.

The two men on the stage were of similar height and build.

Jiang Yan looked towards Gu Beiyan, his expression composed, “Have you thought it through?

I’ll give you another chance.”

At the hospital entrance last time, the condition he laid out was that if Gu Beiyan could take ten moves from him on the stage and still stand, he’d give him a chance to pursue Jiang You.

“Just don’t go for my vital parts, minimum you should leave something for your future brother-in-law.

Otherwise, you won’t be an uncle,” Gu Beiyan said casually, his demands not great.

“Fine, that requirement can be met,” Jiang Yan’s gaze was dark as he stared at him, his tongue gently pressed against his back teeth, “We’ll talk about that after you manage to win her over.

Besides, without you, I can still be an uncle, don’t forget, you’re not the only man in the world capable of marrying.”

This brother-in-law is really damn difficult to deal with!

“Let’s begin then.” He could only accept his fate, after all, he fancied his sister.

From below the stage, Xiao Si became excited as the fight was about to start, losing interest in gossiping.

He was mainly excited to see Gu Beiyan get beaten.

“Old Gu, don’t worry, your sister-in-law and I are here, you’ll be fine.

Even if something happens, we can revive you,” he quickly shouted to Gu Beiyan on the stage.

To give a backhanded compliment, Xiao Si had a sharp tongue, openly mocking him.

Gu Beiyan glanced sharply at Xiao Si below the stage, “Shut up!”

These guys are really his good brothers?!

Xiao Si grinned at him and even made an encouraging gesture.

“Oh my, this looks painful, Ah Yan is showing no mercy at all.”

Xiao Si intermittently commented as he sat below.

At the same time, he noticed something – it was always Jiang Yan attacking, while Gu Beiyan just defended and dodged.

“Old Gu, come on, put some more energy into it.

Why are you holding back, didn’t you eat enough?”

“Although I didn’t bet on you winning, at least try to last longer.

It’s only been half an hour and you’ve already been hit five times.”

“Come on, fight back, why does it seem like you’re getting more timid?”

Xiao Si’s mouth never rested, and his nagging was unstoppable – Wan Muqi was worried that Gu Beiyan might jump down and beat him up any minute.

Then, Jiang You arrived.

“Second Miss, what brings you here?” Jiang Feng was surprised to see her.

Hearing the voice, Su He turned to look.

She didn’t expect Jiang You to be so well-informed.

Su He waved to her, “Come have a seat.”

“Sister-in-law, this is…” Jiang You’s gaze moved to the figures on the ring, worry evident.

She was aware of her brother’s combat power.

Su He took her hand and had her sit down, “Don’t worry, your brother knows his limits.”

“Eh, little sister Youzi, how come you’ve just arrived?” Xiao Si looked at Jiang You with a cheery grin, “You missed the best part; your brother was giving Old Gu a hard time, he wasn’t even fighting back.”

Jiang You exclaimed “Ah,” “Why isn’t he fighting back?”

“That, I don’t know.” Xiao Si was also puzzled, “Maybe he deserves a beating.”

Gu Beiyan did indeed often ask for it.

As they spoke, Gu Beiyan was once again punched in the face by Jiang Yan on the stage.

His handsome face was now seriously marred.

“Ah Yan, why keep going for Old Gu’s face?

If his face gets ruined, how can Old Gu find a wife in the future?

Punch somewhere else,” Xiao Si shouted again to the people on stage.

If one just heard the first half, Gu Beiyan might have felt touched, but the second half of the statement snuffed out that chance.

This guy simply loved stirring the pot with his incessant chatter, so noisy!

“Can you just shut up?!” Gu Beiyan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his finger, his desire to strangle Xiao Si extraordinarily strong.

On turning his head down to the audience, he saw Jiang You, not knowing when she had taken a seat.

He froze for a moment.

Getting thrashed and having her watch this humiliating spectacle, how utterly embarrassing!?

Jiang You, seeing the wounds on his face, felt a constriction in her chest, unable to explain why.

“Hey, Old Gu, dodge it, Ah Yan’s punch is…” Xiao Si hadn’t finished saying “heavy” when Jiang Yan’s fist landed once again on Gu Beiyan’s shoulder.

Gu Beiyan was distracted and hadn’t seen Jiang Yan’s assault, causing him to uncontrollably tumble into the barrier, then bounced back, kneeling on one knee on the ground.

Jiang You stood up swiftly, shouting towards Jiang Yan.
