Chapter 98: The Breach
Another day passed, and the Chu Mansion was a mess, as if it had been robbed, and every piece of land and every room was turned upside down, and then rudely filled in.
The whole house was panicked, and the subordinates hid together, biting their ears quietly, not knowing what kind of situation Chu Di would eventually turn into if he continued to make trouble like this.
Everyone knew what happened in this old mansion that day, but no one could tell Chu Di what happened, because they all had a small family, and when the fate of their family was in the hands of others, they had no time to pay attention to the fate of others.
Lin Xiangwan and Ye Nan were pitiful, the woman's blood stained such a large stone slab that day, so that the workers who cleaned it up later wiped it for a long time before the marble showed its original face. The bright red blood water was removed from the basins one by one, and then the water continued to be stained red.
Such a scene became a nightmare for that job for a long time afterward.
But no one dared to say it, even if Chu Di came to ask them, they were silent again and again, they were just people who took money to do things, and they couldn't offend their top boss because of the joy and anger of a young master who had not been at home for many years, maybe in the eyes of many people, compared with Chu Di, the old lady Chu Mu was an insignificant person at all, but in the Chu family, Chu Mu's words were holy decrees and authorities above all else.
No one dares to resist her, unless you don't want this job anymore, unless you don't want peace at home from now on.
After two days of rummaging, even the innermost part of the rose garden was turned over, Chu Di still didn't find a trace of Lin Xiangwan and Ye Nan's whereabouts, and the people sent out also returned empty-handed.
It was as if she had suddenly disappeared from this world, like a beautiful bubble on the sea, and as soon as the sun shone on it, it disappeared without a trace.
Chu Di had to face Mother Chu every day, and he had been in the Chu family for more than he had been here in a year. But they haven't spoken for two days, Chu Mu always sits in her room, holding a beautiful tea set in her hand, and then looks condescendingly at Chu Di and the people who have ruined this old mansion, she doesn't say anything, just a trace of an unpredictable smile on the corner of her mouth.
Just when Chu Di was almost in despair, he suddenly thought of someone.
The enemy of our enemies, perhaps, is our friend.
Ji Jasmine has been in prison since Chu Hao's identity was exposed by Chu's mother.
After Mother Chu cut off all contact with the outside world, she and her children were locked in the coldest and dampest room of the Chu Mansion.
Luckily for Billin, someone would bring her food every day, and although the quality of the food was not as good as usual, at least she would not be in danger of starving to death or dying of thirst.
At first, Ji Jasmine couldn't accept such a change, she desperately wanted to escape from the Chu Mansion, but after failing again and again, she began to recognize the reality.
From the beginning of refusing to eat, feeling that the coarse tea and light rice could not be swallowed, but later no matter what the kitchen delivered, she could eat the food cleanly, and there would never be a little lang.
People grow little by little in these tribulations, and the more difficult life is, the faster they will grow, because none of us wants to live in pain.
Things that Ji Jasmine had never done before, such as changing the child's diaper, taking a bath, or hugging him and humming a song to sleep, now she has learned to do it one by one, no one helps, she either has to stay awake all night with the child's crying, or she has to do it herself, in exchange for a moment of peace.
She is not a good mother, and she herself knows that she loves and hates this child, loves him because he has brought her a stable life, and hates him, because she knows that this stability is actually fake, it is not real, there is only one mistake, and everything will disappear.
And now, the truth has surfaced, Mother Chu hates her so much that her teeth itch, if it weren't for the power of the Ji family, Ji Jasmine feels that she may have been filled in the pond a long time ago, and she can live, she already feels lucky, she no longer asks for more, and at the same time, she also finds that her feelings for her child are getting deeper and deeper.
The little life she didn't like all along, now she has to rely on her to live, and it is that wholehearted trust that makes her feel precious.
Only when you lose everything can you know what is most precious to you, but often by then, it is too late.
Ji Jasmine is lucky, when she knows this truth, it is not too late, and everything can be reversed.
"I want to know where she is, you're going to tell me. "Chu Di hadn't seen her for a long time, and this woman who had been hollowing out her mind to marry him must hate him very much now, otherwise, she wouldn't have faced him with that expression of wanting to eat people.
Ji Jasmine hugged the child and replied indifferently, "I don't know." Even if I knew, I wouldn't be able to tell you, and if I did, the old lady wouldn't let me go. When the time comes, you will stay and fly, leaving my Hao'er to suffer and suffer, Chu Di, I'm not so stupid. ”
"So, do you know where she is?" Chu Di heard Ji Jasmine's words, and immediately asked, he was really desperate, otherwise he would not have come to ask Ji Jasmine. Ji Jasmine is locked up in the Chu family's old mansion every day, she must know something, even if she doesn't see it with her own eyes, she can deduce something from listening to people's gossip.
But he was anxious, but Ji Jasmine was not in a hurry, Ji Jasmine weighed how much she could benefit herself if she told Lin Xiangwan's whereabouts, this was her last bargaining chip, and she must use it well.
"She's in this house, haven't you found it? Oh, yes, I can't blame you for that. You don't usually live here, and the old lady has changed the house many times, and many places have been hollowed out, and many places have been filled in, and you don't even know it. How about it? It's not good to not find someone you love? I tell you, what good can I do? Can you take me out? If you agree, I might consider telling you some. Ji Jasmine replied in a weird way. These words made her feel much better. The grievances I have suffered these days seem to have been healed in an instant.
This man, the man she once loved so much, the man who was willing to give everything to stay with him for life, she was still deceived by him in the end.
What he wants is nothing more than the support of the huge Ji family, not her.
She never appeared in his eyes, not even for a minute, not a second.
There is only one woman in his heart, and she has never been the only one.
"You tell me where she is, I will not only let you and the child go, but also give you a sum of money, you can take him back to Ji's house, you can go anywhere, my mother will definitely not trouble you again in the future, is this enough?"
"How can I know if what you said is true?If I tell you, if you don't let us go when the time comes, then what will I do?" Ji Jasmine didn't believe Chu Di's words, she had had enough of his lies, although more often he didn't even give her a lie, he looked at her directly, as if she was not his wife, but some shameless woman who refused to leave in his house.
"What do you think I'm going to do with you left?" Chu Di's attitude was very anxious, and there was an extremely uneasy emotion enveloping his heart, damn it's been so many days, Lin Xiangwan and Ye Nan, what happened to them! If it drags on like this, they ......
Chu Di forced himself not to think about it anymore, he settled down, and he continued to speak, "It is the old lady who wants to keep you, not me, I can let people send you out first, the money is ready, as long as I find Lin Xiangwan, I will call you the money, Ji Jasmine, we have been married for so long, I think I should still have this trust." ”
“…… In addition to money, I have one thing, my dad's company ......"
Ji Jasmine wanted to fight for more, but Chu Di rudely interrupted her.
"That's a corporate behavior, it's not something I can count if I say it alone, even if the Chu family doesn't get involved, the Ji family can't hold up much, you have invested too much money in real estate, and it has exceeded the load, if the housing market is like last year, the Ji family is estimated to make a lot of money, but no one thought that the government would introduce purchase restrictions this year, your family's capital chain is completely pressed on the property market, and now the loan is tight, even if I want to help, there is nothing I can do, Ji Jasmine, you have also studied economics, you should understand these truths better than me, I will not let the Chu family out, just to save a company that is destined to die, so this kind of thing, you don't mention it again in the future." , lang time-consuming. ”
Chu Di's refusal was very blunt, which made Ji Jasmine's heart angry, but what he said was completely reasonable, so that she couldn't find fault with anything at all, although Chu and Ji cooperated on the surface because of marriage, but in fact, his father saw the unreliability of this marriage from the beginning, so he didn't plan to cooperate with Chu Di at all.
Ji Jasmine gritted her teeth and made a decision, "Okay, you send me and the child out first, and as soon as I return to Ji's house, I will tell you where Lin Xiangwan is being held!"
The waiting time was so long that it seemed to be frozen, Chu Di held the phone tightly, the sweat in his palm blurred the fuselage screen, and he watched the numbers on the electronic display change in turn, and his heart was like a fire.
The moment Ji Jasmine appeared on the screen, before the mobile phone rang, he had already connected the phone, Ji Jasmine didn't seem to expect him to answer so quickly, and paused before speaking, "Where Lin Xiangwan is closed, you have to enter through the old lady's room...... You'd better hurry...... Otherwise......"
Chu Di didn't listen to the latter words at all, he threw away his mobile phone and immediately ran towards Chu Mu's room.
No wonder Mother Chu didn't stop him from building in the old mansion, no wonder she always sat in her room and refused to come out, originally ...... Originally......
