Chapter 378: 378: Jiang Zhi gets angry, Jiang Fuxi’s background (second update
Outside the ward, Vice President Sun knocked three tis on the door, “Mr. Jiang.”
Jiang Zhi made a sound in response.
Vice President Sun entered the ward.
“Have they been dug out?” Jiang Zhi asked.
Vice President Sun nodded, “It’s the third miss.” He stepped forward, “Dean Qin is the third miss’s man.”
The matter of the paternity test was intentionally leaked, and this test just proved it; the most hidden mber of the Jiang Family turned out to be the most deeply concealed.
As expected.
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock.
The knocking sound echoed six tis, three lighter and three heavier.
Jiang Zhi’s eyes softened slightly, “Co in.”
The nurse ca in carrying a dical tray.
“You go out first.”
Vice President Sun glanced at the nurse, then left and closed the door of the ward.
Jiang Zhi got out of bed, and lifted the young nurse onto the bed, “Didn’t I ask you to wait for in the downstairs ward?”
Zhou Xufang removed her mask, still dressed in her nurse’s outfit, “I have sothing to ask you.” Her expression was serious, “Jiang Zhi, did you take that fertility-impairing drug again?”
Last night, Jiang Zhi was sent to the nearby Changkang Hospital after “excessive grief” and “fainting.” After waking up, he had a conflict with Lu Xinglan and was later detained at the police station. Through this series of events, Xu Jiuru had not seen it all firsthand, and Jiang Zhi had staged another drama to bring her suspicions back down.
Zhou Xufang heard from Qiao Nanchu that Jiang Zhi had vomited blood, and indeed he had.
He must have taken so dication!
He smiled, “Afraid that I’ll beco infertile?”
Zhou Xufang was very serious, “Answer first.”
“I didn’t take that dicine, just let ‘Ice and Snow’ make sothing to make vomit blood,” Jiang Zhi said, sitting next to her, touching the nurse’s cap on her head, and feeling it was adorable.
Zhou Xufang pulled away the hand that was still on the IV drip, holding it tightly to keep him from fidgeting, “Does that have any side effects?”
He was nonchalant, “Just need a few days to recover.”
You really don’t care about yourself enough!
Zhou Xufang, feeling heartbroken, touched his face, noticing that he seed thinner today — sure enough, he had vomited too much blood, “Why must you make yourself vomit blood? Couldn’t you just pretend to faint like last night?”
Jiang Zhi went to lock the door and returned to his pretend nurse, “This was still the milder option. If you really were gone, I would have to follow you in death today.”
Zhou Xufang shook her leg and kicked him, “Don’t speak such inauspicious words.”
Jiang Zhi squatted down, took off her shoes, let her half recline on the bed, and sat beside her, rubbing her stomach, “You must have heard just now, Qin Shiyu is Jiang Fuxi’s person, and the one who has been helping from behind is her. She does not an harm to , but that doesn’t an she harbors no ill will towards you. I have to act more convincingly to avoid raising her suspicions.”
“She’s involved in this too?”
“Whether she’s involved or not is still unclear, but certainly, she is an insider.”
The Gui Family is like a viper she nurtured by Xu Jiuru’s side.
Jiang Zhi’s phone on the table rang; thinking of sothing, he picked up the phone and moved away from Zhou Xufang before answering.
It was Qiao Nanchu calling, “The ergency call has been traced to a third party.”
“Can you find out exactly who?”
“Not for now,” Qiao Nanchu relayed Wen Baiyang’s thoughts, “The thod was too deliberate; it’s like they left traces for us on purpose.”
The other party was conveying sothing; that ergency call was not made by the Lu Family.
Jiang Zhi hung up the phone, already having a clear understanding.
“What does that an?” Zhou Xufang didn’t understand.
Jiang Zhi explained, “It’s confird, Jiang Fuxi was involved too.”
If it was really Jiang Fuxi’s doing…
Zhou Xufang understood, “She intentionally let you know the Lu Family is innocent?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
Why would Jiang Fuxi help Jiang Zhi over and over? From Gui Family to Qin Shiyu, her two pawns, they were both conspiring for Jiang Zhi.
“Because she has a grudge against Xu Jiuru, she’s helping by using .”
Jiang Family, all have the sa traits, fond of using others to do their dirty work.
Zhou Xufang had one more question, “What grudge do they have?”
“If I’m not mistaken,” Jiang Zhi said, “it’s a grudge for killing her father.”
She quickly understood, tying all the loose ends together, “The driver who died in the car accident with your mother, was he her father?”
Jiang Fuxi’s father had always been a mystery; only the fact that her mother had broken off her connection with Xu Jiuru before dying of depression was known.
“Xue Baoyi sent soone to Gui Family’s old ho to investigate, discovering that she once had a son in her hotown.”
The driver who was killed was not a distant nephew of the Gui Family, but her son.
That explained why the Gui Family betrayed Xu Jiuru and pledged allegiance to Jiang Zhi.
“I’m more convinced now,” Zhou Xufang revealed an enlightened expression.
“Convinced of what?”
“You’re from the Lu Family, not the Jiang Family, and Jiang Fuxi has known this all along.” That’s why she chose Jiang Zhi as her weapon — because she knew sooner or later Jiang Zhi and Xu Jiuru would be at each other’s throats.
“Why do you feel that?”
There was a basis for this, and this basis deeply upset Zhou Xufang, “I always felt that she liked you, her gaze was always strange towards you.”
“How she looks at , I’m not sure,” Jiang Zhi said, wary that his pregnant wife might be jealous, “I never look at her.”
From his tone, one could tell that he harbored strong hostility toward Jiang Fuxi.
Because of Luo Si, and because of Zhou Xufang.
“Is the baby behaving?” Speaking of the one in her stomach, Jiang Zhi’s mood improved, “Is it causing you any trouble?”
Zhou Xufang touched her belly, “No, very well-behaved.”
“Like you.”
She was well-behaved too.
“I had Nanchu co up with two pairs of handcuffs.” He caressed her stomach.
Zhou Xufang grabbed his hand still attached to the IV drip, preventing him from moving, “What do you need handcuffs for?”
“For sleeping.”
Handcuffs for sleeping?
Having read countless romantic novels, Zhou Xufang’s imagination ran wild, blushing, “Jiang Zhi, are you a masochist?”
“Zhou Xufang!”
Zhou Xufang sat straight up.
Jiang Zhi patted her forehead, “What a ss you have in your mind, I’m planning to cuff our ankles together so I don’t kick you during sleep.”
Zhou Xufang sighed in relief, “Good thing it’s not that; I’m quite strong.”
Jiang Zhi: “…”
