Gu Yun Ting had no intention of getting involved in the Su family's affairs, but Madam Gu found him at his company and cornered him in his office, demanding that he save the Su family.
"Mother, your health is not good. You should go home and recuperate. Stop meddling in the Su family's matters. It's not something you can interfere with," Gu Yun Ting's tone was stern.
Just because he didn't say something didn't mean he didn't know. Ye Wan's kidnapping this time was orchestrated by her martial brother, He Hong Tang. His mother was too naive, thinking those people were still under her control as they were twenty years ago. Little did she know, after all these years and her becoming crippled, their hearts had long since changed.
Especially in the face of profit, she was worthless in their eyes.
As for the Su family, no one cared about his mother. What they cared about was how much profit his mother could bring them, and that was all.
"Ah Ting, please, I'm begging you. Help your maternal grandfather's family. All of this was done by Gu Jun Bo. After all these years, do you still want to be suppressed by him? Have you forgotten how he abandoned us for that mistress and her child?" Madam Gu deliberately brought up the past, hoping to stir up Gu Yun Ting's hatred for Gu Jun Bo.
"Escort Madam back! If you can't look after her properly, all of you get out!" Gu Yun Ting was furious with his mother's servants for the first time. For the past decade and more, Gu Yun Ting had been exceptionally lenient with her servants due to his mother's disability.
Now, he realized his leniency only made them lose sight of their positions!
Their master was never Madam Gu, but him, Gu Yun Ting!
...
Jiang Mi arranged to meet Ye Wan and Jiang Yan at the mall. Jiang Mi had already begun planning her departure. Ye Wan and Jiang Yan were her best friends, and she wanted to give them something before she left.
She felt she had been unlucky for over twenty years, and it was only after meeting Ye Wan and Jiang Yan that she finally experienced some good fortune. She wanted to thank these two good friends.
This was the first time the three girls had seen each other since the New Year. They were all very happy to meet. Jiang Yan was depressed due to family matters and didn't want to stay home. Seeing her two good friends today, she was also extremely happy, hugging them tightly.
"I'll treat you to milk tea. What do you want?" Jiang Yan generously offered.
"I'll have a milk green tea with ice and half sugar, thank you." Jiang Mi didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to pinch her pretty little cheek.
"I'll have a lemon water with half sugar." Ye Wan didn't like overly sweet drinks and opted for a light lemon water.
"I'll go buy it. You two wait over there." Jiang Yan immediately ran off to the milk tea shop.
Ye Wan and Jiang Mi walked hand in hand to find a place to sit and wait. Ye Wan asked, "How have you been these past few days? How is Mian Mian?"
"Everything's been good. How about you? How are you doing?" Jiang Mi felt that having received the money for a car, nothing could bother her.
What could be happier than fifty thousand yuan falling from the sky?
"I'm doing well too. How are you now... doing?"
Mian Mian and Jiang Jing Xiu's tissue matching failed. Jiang Mi had told Ye Wan about her plan. Ye Wan actually admired Jiang Mi's dedication to her daughter, her willingness to do anything and give everything.
As for the kidnapping incident she experienced, she didn't want to tell her friends and worry them.
"I'm pregnant. There's already a baby in my belly. Mian Mian is saved!" Jiang Mi said in a low voice, her hand unconsciously stroking her still flat abdomen as she spoke.
