Chapter 482: Must Take Jiang Chenghao Away

"Jiang Baobao! Have you lost your mind!"

A burning pain flared across Xia Huiya's face; she stood up from the floor with eyes blazing, immediately raising her hand to strike back!

"Huiya!"

Lu Guohui glanced at Jiang Baobao's slender figure, subconsciously wanting to step forward to stop her.

But another figure suddenly flashed in from outside the door, faster than his movements, and grabbed Xia Huiya's hand!

"You dare touch her!"

Li Beijue's tone was enough to freeze a person; as he spoke, he flung Xia Huiya's hand away!

Not expecting him to actually come over, a flash of panic crossed both Xia Huiya and Lu Guohui's faces.

"Sir, Madam, this gentleman insisted on coming up, I couldn't stop him..."

A servant rushed over to report, but upon seeing the fallen Old Mrs. Jiang in the study, their eyes widened in instant terror.

"Get out! Don't you dare say a single word!"

Lu Guohui barked an angry order, driving the stunned servant away.

Li Beijue's eyes also fell upon Old Mrs. Jiang, and a trace of surprise could not help but flash across the depths of his gaze.

"What is going on here?"

He asked coldly with a frown, and just as his voice fell, he felt his arm being grabbed tightly.

"Li Beijue, I... my grandmother, she..."

Jiang Baobao was sobbing uncontrollably; the tears she had been holding back broke through the moment she saw Li Beijue, and she could barely speak a complete sentence.

Li Beijue's brows were knitted tightly, feeling his heart clench along with her tears.

He held Jiang Baobao's hand in return, glanced expressionlessly at Lu Guohui and Xia Huiya, and quickly took out his phone.

The call was answered quickly.

Li Beijue spoke in a low voice to explain the situation, asking for people to be sent over quickly to handle it.

He then hung up the phone, and just as he intended to ask a question, he heard Lu Guohui explain: "President Li, this... Old Mrs. Jiang suddenly suffered a heart attack. We notified Baobao so she could come over to handle the funeral arrangements."

Li Beijue paused upon hearing this, subconsciously turning his head to look at Jiang Baobao beside him.

Jiang Baobao suppressed her grief and nodded at Li Beijue.

She knew her grandmother's passing was suspicious, but now that there was no evidence, saying anything was useless!

Jiang Baobao took a deep breath, trying hard to calm her emotions, then spoke: "Since Grandmother is already gone, I will take my uncle away in a while and take care of him myself."

"This..."

Lu Guohui and Xia Huiya exchanged a look subconsciously, having long known Jiang Baobao would say this.

Xia Huiya had just been slapped, but she couldn't act out in front of Li Beijue, so she had to follow the excuse they had prepared: "Baobao, you must think this through. Given your uncle's current condition, there is no way he can leave here. Have you forgotten that he is only familiar with the environment here, and that he will have an episode if he goes to another place?"

Her tone sounded as if she were looking out for Jiang Chenghao.

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, clearly having considered this point as well.

Her uncle's condition was indeed the most difficult to handle.

Keeping him here before was because Grandmother could still take care of him.

But now that Grandmother was gone, who knew how the Lu Family would treat him?

Besides, their purpose in keeping her uncle was originally to use him as a scapegoat!

He must not be allowed to stay!

With the medicine from Xin'ai, her uncle would recover sooner or later!

Just as Jiang Baobao was about to refuse, she heard Lu Guohui interject: "Baobao, your aunt is right. No matter what, the old lady passed away in the Jiang Family, and we have some responsibility. Later... your uncle won't have to live in the Flower Room anymore; we will arrange a proper room for him and hire someone specifically to look after his daily needs. His condition shouldn't deteriorate, but if you take him away and his situation worsens, and you want to send him back then..."

Lu Guohui paused deliberately for a moment without finishing his sentence, clearly making a threat.

Hearing Lu Guohui's rhetoric, Li Beijue couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes.

Saying it so nicely, wasn't it just to keep a controllable pawn?

Jiang Chenghao must not stay!

"My uncle must come with me!"

Jiang Baobao spoke up suddenly, her tone firm and decisive, leaving no room for refusal.

Xia Huiya was momentarily dazed upon hearing this.

She had originally thought Jiang Baobao would at least consider Jiang Chenghao's condition.

Even if she insisted on taking him away, there were so many people in the house; surely they could stop her!

But...

Who could have expected Li Beijue to actually come with her!

She had clearly received news before that the two of them had not reconciled at all!

Xia Huiya's palms were sweating, and just at this moment—

Several people dressed like doctors suddenly walked in from the doorway.

"President Li."

The arrivals were all wearing masks, and the leader greeted Li Beijue.

Li Beijue nodded and stepped aside.

Without a word, the group immediately walked toward Old Mrs. Jiang.

They first performed an examination, then carefully placed her on the stretcher they had brought and covered her with a white cloth.

"Grandmother..."

Seeing the old lady's face hidden beneath the fabric, Jiang Baobao's eyes grew hot again.

It was clear that the two of them had just spoken on the phone not long ago...

But now...

"Let's find a place to settle the elderly lady first; don't let her lie on the ground."

Li Beijue felt his heart ache for her red, teary eyes and pulled her into his embrace.

Jiang Baobao nodded, letting her tears fall silently.

Xia Huiya and Lu Guohui took in the intimacy between the two, both knowing that things had become somewhat tricky.

Once Li Beijue intervened, it would be difficult for them to do anything!

Xia Huiya was burning with anxiety, and suddenly thinking of something, she said to Li Beijue, "President Li, Baobao's emotions are not very stable right now; it would be better to go back and rest early. As for her uncle's matter, it won't be too late to discuss it later... However, you might not know that his emotions have been unstable for these years, and when he has an episode, he might even hurt people. Since the two of you have such a stable relationship now, it is naturally better to be secure. Having a patient by your side... will always add some trouble to life... Anyway, he has lived here for so many years, and we don't mind continuing to take care of him... Baobao can also come to see him at any time; consider it a small compensation for Old Madam Jiang..."

Xia Huiya's words were full of hints, telling Li Beijue not to meddle in this mess.

Even if Li Beijue liked Jiang Baobao now, could he guarantee it for a lifetime?

She understood men in this upper circle all too well.

No one would bring such trouble upon themselves for no reason!

If someone were willing to take over, they would be overjoyed!

A glimmer of hope appeared in Xia Huiya's eyes.

But she did not expect that the next second—

Li Beijue suddenly let out a cold snort.

"What you said is also right. Since he cannot leave this environment, then we will just stay here."

Li Beijue's tone was casual, leaving the others present stunned.

Stay?

What did this mean?

Jiang Baobao looked at Li Beijue in confusion.

Immediately after, she heard him say unhurriedly, "I have bought this villa; it will be left for Jiang Chenghao to recuperate, and Baobao can also live here. It kills two birds with one stone."
