Chapter 160: Li Beijue, Get Lost

"Jiang Baobao? What are you doing here?"

A surprised female voice came over, carrying a hint of confusion and disdain, and fell into Jiang Baobao's ears.

Jiang Baobao looked at the brightly and beautifully dressed Lu Qing'er before her, and inwardly cried out that things were looking bad.

Didn't they say they wouldn't be back until at least before noon?

How could Lu Qing'er have come home early?

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, but she quickly calmed down and said unhurriedly, "Grandma accidentally fell and hurt her leg, so I'm taking her to the Hospital to have her injuries checked."

"Hurt her leg?" Lu Qing'er's tone was somewhat suspicious as she swept a quick glance at Old Mrs. Jiang.

Mom and Dad had said before that these two people were not allowed to go out as they pleased; who knew if what Jiang Baobao said was true or false?

Lu Qing'er's face was full of disbelief, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Jiang Baobao say again, "If there's nothing else, please move aside; Grandma still needs to go back and rest."

"Who said there's nothing else?" Lu Qing'er was instantly annoyed, deliberately pulling a long face and blocking the path in front of them.

"Now that the two of them are living in my house, you've taken them away without a word; if something happens, who can be held responsible?"

Lu Qing'er was deliberately making things difficult, looking at Jiang Baobao with a provocative expression.

Jiang Baobao immediately sneered, "May I ask if anyone in your family cares for my grandma and uncle? You might as well ask those dogs your family keeps how they treat my grandma!"

Jiang Baobao had learned of the servants' attitude at home early on, and a fire had been burning in her chest for a long time.

Lu Qing'er's expression stiffened, and she was suddenly speechless.

Of course, the people in the house wouldn't care whether these two paupers lived or died, but...

Lu Qing'er didn't want to let Jiang Baobao off just like that, so she stiffened her neck and continued to make things difficult: "Then you still don't have the right to take people away without permission! After all, they are staying with us; if something really happens, who knows if you're just waiting to pull a scam! Besides..."

Lu Qing'er suddenly changed the subject, her expression mocking: "Besides, didn't you have a bad relationship with your grandma before? How come you're so attentive after coming back? Could it be that you discovered there's still some profit to be made from her?"

"Lu Qing'er! You'd better keep your mouth clean! Do you want to get hit?"

Jiang Baobao suddenly stepped forward, making a gesture of raising her hand high.

Lu Qing'er was startled and immediately stepped back in subconscious fear.

Just at this moment—

"What are you doing?"

A man's voice suddenly came from not far away.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao was stunned and turned her head in disbelief.

Then she saw the person who should least be appearing here at this moment walking over with large strides.

Li Beijue?

What is he doing here?

Could it be that he came to find her?

Jiang Baobao's expression was somewhat incredulous, and just as she was thinking this, she saw that Li Beijue had already walked up to her.

"Why did you come?" Jiang Baobao asked subconsciously.

Li Beijue did not speak, but instead looked at Lu Qing'er, who was standing opposite.

Lu Qing'er was stunned by his gaze and immediately felt a bit distracted, lowering her head shyly.

Why would Li Beijue suddenly appear here?

Did he come to back Jiang Baobao up?

Or...

A flash of jealousy crossed Lu Qing'er's eyes, and without thinking, she began to complain: "President Li, you've come at a really coincidental time; if you hadn't come, my cousin would have started hitting people..."

"Hitting people?" Li Beijue frowned slightly as he looked at Jiang Baobao.

When he came over just now, he did indeed hear that Jiang Baobao seemed to be about to take action.

Jiang Baobao immediately scoffed.

Could Lu Qing'er be any more stupid?

She actually wanted to seek help from Li Beijue.

Did she think Li Beijue would speak up for her?

Jiang Baobao completely lost her patience and said impatiently, "Hurry up and move aside; Grandma still needs to go back and rest."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'er instantly put on a wronged expression.

"President Li, our family's affairs shouldn't be talked about everywhere, but since you happened to run into it today, please judge for us..."

Lu Qing'er looked at Li Beijue with a flash of admiration in her eyes, then said aggrievedly: "My cousin has been gone for so many years; all these years, it has been us taking care of Old Mrs. Jiang and her sick son. But as soon as my cousin came back, she caused a scene in our house, and now she has even taken the two of them away without a word. I was only asking my cousin to give us a heads-up beforehand so we wouldn't worry, but she... she wouldn't listen to a single word, and just now she even wanted to use her status as an older sister to hit me. Did I do anything wrong?"

The more Lu Qing'er spoke, the more wronged she sounded, even pretending to wipe her eyes as if she were drying tears.

Jiang Baobao was almost so angry she laughed.

Lu Qing'er's mouth was certainly glib; she could turn black into white!

It was as if the entire Lu Family were great saints!

Jiang Baobao sneered inwardly and said coldly, "Lu Qing'er, you'd better save it. This is a matter between the two of us; others can't interfere."

Upon hearing this, a flash of annoyance crossed Li Beijue's eyes.

He subconsciously stared at Lu Qing'er for two more seconds, then suddenly looked at Jiang Baobao and said, "If it is as she says, you should indeed notify the hosts first, so as not to worry others."

"The hosts?" Jiang Baobao's face instantly turned cold, and she looked at Li Beijue expressionlessly.

He knew nothing, so what right did he have to talk about hosts?

The host here was clearly the Jiang Family!

Jiang Baobao felt a lump in her throat, her cold gaze sweeping over Lu Qing'er and Li Beijue.

Sure enough... men all like this kind of weeping, weak, and fragile woman.

Li Beijue was no exception!

"Li Beijue, if you don't understand anything, then don't interfere in other people's family affairs! Lest you end up being the villain on both sides!"

Jiang Baobao couldn't be bothered to say more; she threw out that sentence, pulled Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Chenghao along, and turned to leave without the slightest hesitation.

"Baobao, that President Li..." Old Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Baobao with some unease.

Jiang Baobao didn't even turn her head back, saying indifferently, "It's no big deal, I'm not afraid of him at all; he was the one who meddled first!"

Her tone was extremely sharp, and as she spoke, she pulled the two of them all the way into the Jiang Family Villa and sent them back to the Flower Room in the backyard.

"Grandma, are you really not moving away?"

Jiang Baobao looked at the surrounding environment, feeling a bit of heartache.

"No." Old Madam Jiang shook her head: "Your uncle's illness cannot be separated from this place, and the Lu Family will not easily let us move away. You don't need to worry; as long as you find a way to cure your uncle as soon as possible, I will be at ease."

"Okay." Jiang Baobao nodded, a trace of gloom overflowing in the depths of her eyes.

She would definitely find a way as soon as possible to cure her uncle!

Whatever the Lu Family has done, she would make them pay it back a thousand times over!

And there's Li Beijue...

Jiang Baobao thought of how Li Beijue had spoken up for Lu Qing'er just now, and she became even more furious.

That dog of a man, Li Beijue, he can do whatever he wants!

Anyway, he is so blind right now that even a woman like Lu Qing'er can fool him!
