Chapter 124: I Will Absolutely Not Let You Off

Lu Qing'er was stunned for a moment and immediately wanted to retort.

Just as she was about to speak, Xia Huiya pinched her sharply.

She paused slightly, and had no choice but to swallow her words back in defiance.

Lu Guohui held absolute authority in the house, and neither of them dared to provoke him easily.

Lu Guohui turned his head and smiled at Jiang Baobao.

"Baobao, your cousin is just spoiled by your aunt. What she said just now was wrong; your uncle apologizes to you on their behalf, don't take it to heart."

As Lu Guohui spoke, he reached out, wanting to grab Jiang Baobao's wrist.

Jiang Baobao instantly retreated a step in vigilance, feeling a sense of nausea.

This old lecher was trying to take advantage again!

Disgusting!

Jiang Baobao completely lost her patience and asked impatiently, "Name your price. How much do you want to sell this place for?"

"We aren't selling, no matter the price!"

Xia Huiya looked at Jiang Baobao with a dark face, and as she spoke, she looked sharply at the old Mrs. Jiang standing to the side.

"Old lady, it was you who volunteered to sell the house to us, and it was you yourself who didn't want to cause us trouble and volunteered to live here, right?"

Her tone carried a faint threat, and she was not at all polite to the elderly woman.

Jiang Baobao was taken aback by these words and looked at the old Mrs. Jiang in confusion.

Immediately after, she saw the old woman's eyes turn red, and she nodded gently, saying in a low voice, "It's... it's me who wanted to bring Cheng Hao to live here..."

"Grandma..."

Jiang Baobao was full of surprise, not understanding why she would say that.

How could anyone possibly live in a Flower Room in the backyard!

Hearing this, Xia Huiya let out a satisfied snort: "Did you hear that? This wasn't forced by us. When your uncle suddenly had his accident, it caused the company a lot of trouble and left the Jiang Family with a mountain of debt; we were the ones who cleaned up that mess."

As Xia Huiya spoke, she seemed to suddenly remember something and deliberately reminded her: "Also, although we have temporarily taken over the company, the legal representative of the entire Jiang Corporation is still your uncle's name. When he recovers one day, we will still return the company to him."

"Legal representative?" Jiang Baobao sneered in her heart.

Did they think she didn't understand anything?

The Lu Family controlled the entire Jiang Family's business in name, but the legal representative was written as her uncle's name.

This meant that once something went wrong, her mentally incapacitated uncle would be pushed out by them to be the scapegoat!

Jiang Baobao's fists clenched tightly; the more she looked at this family, the more disgusted she felt, so she looked directly at the old Mrs. Jiang: "Grandma, let me take you and Uncle to live with me."

"Heh, then see if you have the ability to do so." Lu Qing'er, having forgotten the pain once the wound healed, hid behind Xia Huiya and provoked her loudly.

Jiang Baobao was stunned, a flash of confusion crossing her expression.

Lu Qing'er continued: "That crazy uncle of yours doesn't recognize anywhere else, only here. If you take him away, he'll find a way to run back. Your grandma also volunteered to live here to avoid disturbing our rest, and we couldn't stop her."

Lu Qing'er lied through her teeth and gave the old Mrs. Jiang a warning look.

The old Mrs. Jiang's eyes turned red instantly, and she spoke in a low voice: "Baobao, it really is me who wants to live here. You should stop worrying about this matter..."

She was indeed "voluntary."

"Voluntary" to live here under the threat of this family of three implying they would stop Jiang Chenghao's treatment.

Jiang Baobao saw her dilemma and was suddenly caught in a bind, feeling frustrated and not knowing what to do.

But then she felt her hands suddenly being grabbed.

The old Mrs. Jiang's palms were rough, and she patted the back of Jiang Baobao's hand gently: "Baobao, Grandma is already very happy that you could come to see me. Now that everything is fine... just go back."

As the old Mrs. Jiang spoke, she made a gesture to pull Jiang Baobao toward the exit.

She used some strength in her hands, and Jiang Baobao was pulled forward a step, so she had no choice but to follow.

Lu Qing'er looked hatefully at Jiang Baobao's back and let out a cold snort through her nose.

"Grandma, why are you staying here?"

Jiang Baobao looked back at the dilapidated Flower Room again, thinking of her uncle who was still ill, and felt a sense of reluctance in her heart.

The old Mrs. Jiang shook her head, and tears rolled down again.

"Grandma, don't cry. Why don't you just come with me..." Jiang Baobao panicked instantly, not knowing how to comfort her, feeling a sense of helplessness.

The old Mrs. Jiang didn't speak; after walking a bit further away, she whispered: "Baobao, your uncle really can't leave this place, and I can't..."

"Why?"

Jiang Baobao looked at the old woman in front of her, confused.

The old Mrs. Jiang sighed long and hard: "What they said is true. Your uncle's condition is relatively mild at home, but as soon as he goes to a strange place, his episodes become abnormally frequent, and he becomes moody and might hurt people. The last time I met you on the street, it was because I took him for a check-up, and I wasn't careful for a moment, and he ran off by himself..."

Jiang Baobao listened, and thinking of the scene from last time, felt a heavy, painful feeling in her heart.

Immediately after, she heard the old Mrs. Jiang say: "I am already old; it doesn't matter where I die, but your uncle is still young! Maybe he can still recover! You must find a way to save him! You can't let him suffer grievances here! And the company matter..."

"I will find a way regarding the company."

Jiang Baobao took over the conversation, her brows locked in a frown.

"Good... good... Baobao, it was Grandma who let you down in the past..." The old Mrs. Jiang didn't know what else to say, so she could only nod repeatedly, grabbing Jiang Baobao's hand tightly, her face full of guilt.

Jiang Baobao shook her head hurriedly: "Grandma, don't say these things. Then... I will come to see you again when I have the chance. If you need anything, just tell me. Living there is truly too much of a grievance..."

"Okay..." the old Mrs. Jiang agreed with red-rimmed eyes.

The two spoke a few more words, and then Jiang Baobao left.

In the garden, Xia Huiya watched the two walk away and gave Lu Guohui a look.

The two went straight to the study.

As soon as they entered the door, Xia Huiya complained unhappily: "When are we going to kick those two dead weights out! The two of them are simply ticking time bombs!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Lu Guohui immediately sank his face and reprimanded her.

After saying this, he lit a cigarette and then spoke gloomily: "With the Jiang Family's company as cover, you have the endless money you have now; if something really goes wrong one day, we can still rely on that fool to be the scapegoat."

Hearing this, Xia Huiya's expression became somewhat irritable, and she poured herself a cup of tea in a huff, continuing to complain: "That fool cannot leave here, nor can he leave that Old Madam Jiang! Only that old bag of bones can take care of him! Otherwise, it would be good to even drive one of them out! Eating for free here every day, and we still have to subsidize their medical expenses!"
