The man’s lips curled into a smirk, and his eyes half-closed:
"Don’t worry, there will come a day when you will willingly confess with your own mouth!"
Anyway, he was used to being hung up on by now, and he calmly continued his work after putting down the telephone.
After all, the sooner he finished up here, the sooner he could go back and see that little woman.
However, it wasn’t even a minute before his mother called.
Not surprised at all.
"Son, your grandfather’s blood pressure just shot up to 200."
He didn’t need to guess why.
The news of Gu Xiyue being taken away by the military court people was currently the hottest topic on the internet.
Jiang Ye pursed his lips:
"How is he now?" he asked.
"He took his medicine in time and has calmed down." Mrs. Jiang replied.
Hearing that things had calmed down, Jiang Ye silently breathed a sigh of relief.
The bond between the grandfather and the grandson was actually very strong. When Jiang Ye was young, with Father Jiang and Jiang’s mother busy at the company every day, it had always been the old man who took care of the grandchildren.
This time, it might have truly wounded the old man.
The old man had always felt guilty toward the Gu Family and wanted to make amends.
So, over the years, all his doting went to Gu Xiyue, even more so than to his own grandchildren.
"Mom, try to keep the Gu Family away from grandpa during this time." Jiang Ye suddenly said.
"Your father is planning to accompany your grandfather to the countryside for some time to recuperate."
The countryside was a good idea. First of all, the news from the outside wouldn’t reach there immediately.
Secondly, it would prevent the Gu Family from bothering the old man. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Over the phone, Mrs. Jiang paused, then cautiously asked:
"Son, can’t you really tell your mother who that girl is?"
How could she not be curious?
Of course, she also felt distressed.
As a woman, she could empathize even more.
Besides, that girl wasn’t just anyone – she was the person her son liked!
Last night, Mrs. Jiang hadn’t closed her eyes the whole night, her heart aching for her prematurely departed eldest grandson.
So much so that she started to feel some resentment toward the entire Gu Family.
People tend to be partial, after all. Elbows don’t bend outwards, right?
"I can’t!" He answered decisively.
"Mom, when the time comes, you’ll know."
What else could Mrs. Jiang do?
She had to compromise.
"Fine, fine, I’ll wait. Son, hurry up, don’t wait until your mother is too old to move."
"I think you don’t know how to chase a girl, you’re really a blockhead!"
Pfft, did mothers really talk about their sons like that?
Jiang Ye almost wanted to hang up the phone:
"Mom, do you have anything else? I’ve got work waiting here," he asked.
"Nothing, go ahead, you deserve it if your wife ran away!"
Indeed, she had run away.
Ran off for a whole six years, in fact!
At this moment, Mrs. Jiang didn’t know that her casual sarcastic remark was actually true!
The next second, Jiang Ye had unilaterally ended the call.
Only because the person on the other side was not a stranger, but his own mother!
Over at the hospital, Lu Jing sat in his office and took several deep breaths, his racing heart finally settling down.
Then, he straightened his back.
He moved the mouse to open a web page, wanting to check online first to see if things were really as that despicable man had said.
But for this kind of thing, there were no examples online, nothing to find at all.
In the end, he could only send a message to his best friend.
"Wanwan, I want to ask you something... If... you got married without knowing... would it still be legally binding?"
Dai Changwan had studied law abroad, and although she wasn’t very famous in the lawyer circles in the past few years after graduating, she was still a bona fide lawyer!
Certainly more knowledgeable than himself, an outsider.
