"Tell me, Mr. Wu... why? Why approach me now? Did you think that I don't know what your family has done?" She asked, her lips curled into a beautiful smirk.
"I... I.. Miss Jiang... I... don't know how to answer that question..." He said, embarrassed by his family's actions. Wu Sheng can't help but lower his head in front of Jiang Yue.
How should he answer her question?
Should he tell her that his father spoiled his sister to the point of becoming a sociopath?
Or tell her that he felt she was his only hope? Her intelligence, her influence, her confidence. Everything about Jiang Yue was also everything that he never had.
His father was in the hospital fighting for his life. His daughter refused to talk to him and went home without even asking for his permission.
He is alone.
Should he tell her that he has no other choice but to ask for her help?
"Don't worry Mr. Wu... I know this is not your fault. Nor your fathers." Jiang Yue said before handing him an envelope. "It is in your blood."
Noticing Wu Sheng's confusion Jiang Yue clarified. "Mental illness was recorded in your family. Schizophrenia, depression, suicide and bipolar disorder. Your ancestors suffered a thing or two and were in the mental institution at least once in their lifetime. Your father's family spared a lot of effort to hide this fact."
"After all, who would trust a company run by... a group of crazy people." She added.
"How did you find out about this?" He asked. Although he already suspected that insanity was in their family lineage he could not find the courage to ask his father about it.
Jiang Yue shrugged, "Research. Very elaborate research."
"Now, that we are clear about this... Are you still going to ask for my help, Mr. Wu?" She asked while staring intensely at the nervous man in front of her.
After a few seconds of silence Wu Sheng answered, "Yes."
"But you know that I will not spare her,right?"
"W... what are you going to do to her?" He asked.
"Well, Mr. Wu... crazy people need help. But your sister is a different kind of crazy. Don't worry I will not kill her." She answered truthfully. She really did not plan on killing Wu Ziliang. Death was such an easy ending for her.
Jiang Yue was planning to do something worse. Worse than being dead.
"Can I trust you?" Wu Sheng asked.
"No. Don't trust me, Mr. Wu. Trust my promises. Because I don't break them." Of course, at this point, Jiang Yue was still unaware of what Wu Ziliang would bring into her life.
At this point, she was simply stating a fact. She will not kill her. Not even if she begged for it.
Wu Sheng stared at the beautiful lady in front of him. Then he pursed his lips before letting out a sigh. "Alright. If this is what it takes to stop her. Then... I agree."
"Very good. Don't worry too much... Just go to the hospital and take care of your father. You should prepare him for the worst." Jiang Yue said, she wasn't done with that old man yet.
She would love to look into Old Man Wu's eyes as she took over his company.
Old Man Wu dared to threaten her grandfather. Would Jiang Yue just let him go like that?
No, of course not.
Wu Sheng stared at Jiang Yue before getting up and walking out of the door.
His sister was crazy and now only Jiang Yue could stop her.
His only hope was for Jiang Yue to fulfill her promise.
After Wu Sheng left, Wang Minghua instantly started pacing inside Jiang Yue's room. He was there when Wu Sheng talked to Jiang Yue.
But he was so shocked that he was unable to utter even a single word.
"Little Yue, that woman is dangerous! How could she do that to her own father? She is absolutely insane!"He exclaimed.
"Okay... stop pacing...It is making me uncomfortable." Jiang Yue said nonchalantly. " There is actually no surprise about this. We already knew that she is crazy."
"But how did she manage to give him insulin without injecting it? I mean... she does not have some superpowers right?"
"Nonsense." Jiang Yue rolled her eyes. What superpowers? "You can get an overdose from two things Minghua. From injection and by ingesting it. She must have put it in his tea."
"Ingesting? I never heard of a case like that."
"Well, then you should start reading more. You can check it online. You dummy."
Wang Minghua did not answer his cousin. Instead, his expression turned serious. "Little Yue that woman is scary... I'm afraid she will hurt you." He thought out loud.
"There is a possibility, yes, But I won't give her that chance." She answered.
"Well... let's not worry about it. I will do my best to protect you so... that will never happen." Of course, at this point, Wang Minghua was still oblivious of the things that would happen at the engagement party.
"Stop saying nonsense and go away already. I need to prepare for later." She said while smiling at her cousin.
She needed to prepare for the big show.
