Chapter 696 Half dead
Jiang An was waiting in the living room of the villa. He immediately showed concern when Jiang Mubai returned home.
"Mubai, did anything happen when you went to visit Jinglan?"
"It's okay. She's locked up and can't do anything to me. Don't worry, Dad."
"That's good. How was your prenatal checkup at the hospital today? I haven't had time to ask you about it yet. Are both the baby and you okay?"
"Everything is fine, don't worry."
Seeing that Jiang Mubai and the child were fine, Jiang An felt relieved.
"That's good. Dad is relieved to hear this. You must be tired after being outside all day. The food in the kitchen is not ready yet. Go upstairs and have a rest. I'll call you down to eat when it's ready."
"Okay, I'm really tired after being outside all day, so I'll go upstairs and wash up first."
At Jiang An's villa, father and daughter were enjoying dinner happily. However, the situation at the old house was not so good. After what happened to Jiang Jinglan, the atmosphere in the old house had been terribly low recently. The servants started to be cautious in everything they did and said, for fear of offending Jiang Ping and Chen Qingyu and then blaming them.
Chen Qingyu has been resting upstairs these days and hasn't even gone downstairs to eat. Jiang Jinglan was locked up by Jiang An, and she almost got angry so she has been lying in bed to rest.
Jiang Ping's health has finally recovered a little and now it is Chen Qingyu's turn to lie down and recuperate. What happened to Jiang Jinglan is really hard for both of them.
That night, Chen Qingyu was lying in bed again, too angry to eat. Jiang Ping was worried that she would ruin her health, so he brought food upstairs to persuade Chen Qingyu.
They were the only two people left in the room. Jiang Ping sat down beside the bed, put the porridge he had cooked in the kitchen on the bedside table and started to persuade them.
"Eat something. How can your body bear not eating like this?"
"I can't eat. Jinglan has already had such a thing happen to her. We, as parents, have failed to live up to her expectations of us. Now she is suffering in there alone. How can I eat with peace of mind?"
"What if you don't eat? If you ruin your health and we can't help you, then Jinglan won't be able to count on us when he's out there."
"Ah An still refuses to see the two of us? How can he be so cruel? He could have the heart to kill his own niece. I really misjudged you as my brother."
Seeing Chen Qingyu blaming Jiang An, Jiang Ping couldn't help but sigh: "Hey! Don't be angry and say these things. If it weren't for the things Jinglan did, An wouldn't have done this to her. Jinglan is just worried. When An's anger subsides, I will go and have a good talk with him. After all, he is Jinglan's uncle and he won't do anything too excessive."
Seeing that Jiang Ping was still helping Jiang An, Chen Qingyu became extremely angry.
"Our Jinglan has been harmed by the father and daughter and you are still speaking for your brother, right? I know you felt guilty about Bai Yalan's incident before, but things have already happened. Don't use Jinglan's incident to cover up your own mistakes. These are two different things! What he did this time as an uncle was too much! If you don't help to release Jinglan, then I will have to go back to my mother's house and ask my eldest brother for help!"
"As a father, you don't love Jinglan. She has her own uncle who loves her and will help her get justice! When has Jinglan ever suffered this kind of hardship? She has never left us for such a long time since she was a child. Is that a place for people to stay? Send Jinglan in there. I think your brother wants to kill Jinglan and both of us!"
"Is this what he has in mind? He wants to make us all half dead so that no one will compete with his daughter for the Jiang family's property. Your brother is much more scheming than you. You still can't tell what kind of person he is and you are still speaking for him."
"Let me tell you, I only have Jinglan as my daughter. If anything happens to her in there, I won't live either! Don't blame me when the time comes. I will make sure you and Jiang An's family don't have an easy life! I mean what I say!"
Seeing Chen Qingyu's words so clearly, Jiang Ping was also affected by what the other party said. "Indeed, no matter how you look at it, Jinglan was wrong in doing this, but isn't Mubai still alive and well in this world? The two of them have forced our family so hard, I think they really don't want us to live."
"If Jinglan agrees, she is also my daughter. It really hurts to see her being treated like this by Mubai and An. Since An doesn't want to see us, let's not ask him for help and ask someone else."
"That's right. You should have figured this out earlier. If we keep waiting for him to calm down, how long will we have to wait? If he doesn't calm down and doesn't come to see us after a month or two, are we just going to let Jinglan stay in there forever?"
"Don't worry, I've thought it through. Since An doesn't want our family to have an easy life, I don't have any lingering feelings for him anymore. Now that things have come to this, I'll just treat him as if I don't have a brother anymore."
"Don't be afraid of what others will say about us. It was Jiang An who did those things to Jing Lan first, and we were forced into this situation by him. With my family helping you, we are not afraid of him."
"Okay, it's not easy for us to take action against Jiang An's company. After all, I also have shares there, and most of the company's shareholders are from my family. If we take action, they will definitely not let us go so easily. We have to discuss this matter carefully and try to get Jiang An to negotiate with us so that we can take the initiative in our own hands. In this way, Jing Lan will have a glimmer of hope to get out of this."
Seeing that Jiang Ping was moved by her persuasion, Chen Qingyu immediately felt hopeful again and he was no longer in such a lifeless state as before.
Her mind became active and she immediately came up with an idea for Jiang Ping. "Doesn't Jiang Mubai have a marriage partner outside? I heard that although Jiang An doesn't like her, he has told her to work hard to strengthen herself. It seems that Jiang An also likes him as a son-in-law, but the other party's conditions do not meet his requirements and cannot give Jiang Mubai a stable life, so he makes things difficult for him. How about we start from here?"
"Is this really possible? After you said that, I feel that Ah An is deliberately making things difficult for him. His purpose is to prevent Jiang Mubai from leaving him and going back. I'm afraid that we won't hurt Jiang An in the slightest by doing this, right?"
"Oh, what do you know? He dotes on Jiang Mubai so much now, and Jiang Mubai is pregnant with his child. Plus, they are married and in love, and he only has Jiang Mubai as a child. If Jiang Mubai wants to go back to be with that man, it won't be a big deal. If we deal with his son-in-law, Jiang An will help him when he finds out. And if we deal with Cheng Yunchuan, Jiang Mubai will definitely feel bad if he finds out."
"Even if Jiang An is really dissatisfied with this son-in-law, with Jiang Mubai in the middle, will she still let her husband be bullied like this? So it's only a matter of time before Jiang An helps."
