In the hospital, Jiang Meng and Liu Xin, eating their steaming hot meals, couldn't help but shed tears.
Ever since Jiang He died and the old master became senile, the two of them hadn't eaten such good food.
Even though they were part of the Jiang Family, living there felt worse than the treatment of the servants.
"Delicious!"
Jiang Meng wiped away her tears and looked at Xiao Chen.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, she had already come to rely on this man.
He was her uncle, her husband.
"If it tastes good, eat more. If it's not enough, I'll go buy more, even though I don't have much money,
but I can still afford this."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Seeing the mother and daughter eating happily made him happy too.
Perhaps this was the simplest kind of happiness.
"I should find a time to take them to meet my parents,"
Xiao Chen thought. An ugly wife has to meet her in-laws eventually, and Jiang Meng was quite a beautiful bride.
His parents had fallen seriously ill because the Ye Family had called off the engagement back in the day.
But now they had mostly recovered. Over the years, he had entrusted Hua Xian to take good care of them. With Hua Xian's medical skills, naturally, there were no issues.
A healthy meeting between wife and in-laws, just the thought was happiness.
Of course, this must be taken slowly and couldn't be rushed. He guessed Jiang Meng still couldn't accept herself having a much older son-in-law.
It didn't matter, time would reveal a person's heart.
After eating, Liu Xin cleaned up and went out.
If it had been before, she certainly would not have been at ease with Xiao Chen alone with Jiang Meng.
But after today's events, she had gradually accepted this son-in-law.
Helpless, but also looking forward.
"Uncle, you hit Jiang Dong today. That guy is vindictive; he won't let you off easily.
Why don't you stay here for a few days? Dr. Hua seems like a nice person,"
Jiang Meng suddenly said.
Xiao Chen laughed and said, "If he dares bully you again, I'll hit him!"
"Silly!"
Jiang Meng shook her head with a wry smile.
But her heart was sweet.
Although Xiao Chen was a bit rash and somewhat foolish, he really treated her well.
"Ah, Jiang Meng, you can't truly be falling for this uncle!"
Thinking like this in her heart, Jiang Meng suddenly covered her cheeks, which were red and warm.
Suddenly, at this moment, the door to the room was pushed open.
Liu Xin entered with a cellphone in her hand, looking somewhat dazed and distraught.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Jiang Meng asked.
Liu Xin glanced at Jiang Meng, then at Xiao Chen, and said, "Xiao Chen, can you promise me to always protect Jiang Meng?"
"That's of course no problem, but mom, what's really going on?"
Xiao Chen felt something was off.
Jiang Meng also looked at Liu Xin with confusion, feeling that Liu Xin's words sounded like a last testament.
"It's nothing."
Liu Xin shook her head, unable to suppress the sorrow in her eyes.
This woman must have encountered some trouble.
And it wasn't something small.
"Mom, I've just recovered from my illness. Even if we don't rely on the Jiang Family, we can still live a good life.
Please tell me if there's anything wrong. If anything happens to you, I won't go on living either."
Jiang Meng understood Liu Xin's heart; with this threat, Liu Xin had no choice but to compromise.
She sat down, sighed and said, "Mengmeng, you know Boss Chen, right?
He has always harbored bad intentions towards your mother.
When your father was alive, he didn't dare to make a move.
But since your father passed away, he has been harassing us repeatedly.
Just now, Jiang Tian called to ask for my help in signing a deal to secure Boss Chen's order.
"After the deal is done, she will give us mother and daughter one million as a thank you."
"Mom, you can't go."
Jiang Meng said anxiously, "Boss Chen has had impure thoughts about you for a long time. If something happened to you, your daughter really couldn't go on living."
"But that's a million, with that million, we wouldn't have to suck up to the Jiang Family anymore.
To tell the truth, if I wasn't worried about the old man, I would have left there a long time ago.
With this million, we can take the old man and live together.
We don't need the shares either. If they want them, let them have them to avoid trouble.
Our family living an ordinary life is also quite happy."
Liu Xin said.
"But Mom, if you refuse to submit to that Boss Chen, would he sign the order?"
Jiang Meng felt her heart was really in pain.
"For your sake, what does it matter if Mom suffers a bit of humiliation? It's just that I have wronged your deceased father."
Liu Xin felt disgusted at the thought of Boss Chen, but for the sake of her daughter, she was willing to sacrifice herself.
After this matter, she had already thought about going to apologize to her husband.
Having Xiao Chen, her daughter should not have to suffer anymore.
Xiao Chen, standing aside, listened to the conversation between mother and daughter and clenched his fists in silence.
This Jiang Tian, really isn't a decent person.
And that Boss Chen, he's no good either.
Xiao Chen knew that in Linhai, his status was quite a bit higher than Jiang Tian's.
His business was very large.
But what of it?
If they dared to bully his mother-in-law, he would make that Chen surname become penniless!
"Mom, you really don't need to make such a big sacrifice. I know that Boss Chen.
You just go and sign the order, I guarantee you won't have any problems."
Xiao Chen suddenly said.
"Really? Did you save his life again?"
Liu Xin asked.
Xiao Chen said with an embarrassed smile, "No, I have a drinking buddy, he's Boss Chen's brother-in-law.
Boss Chen's wife is famously fierce.
If she gets angry, do you think Boss Chen would dare to touch you?"
"Your networking is really wide."
Liu Xin said, somewhat skeptical.
This woman was definitely smart; otherwise, she wouldn't have been known as the strongest female entrepreneur in Linhai in the past.
It's worth mentioning that before Jiang Meng was born, she was the general manager of Jiang Corporation.
Because of her abilities.
After she resigned, Jiang Tian assumed the position of general manager.
Xiao Chen smiled and didn't say more, to avoid saying something wrong.
Then, Xiao Chen left and went to Hua Xian's office.
"Big brother, that girl, she's the one you've been unable to stop thinking about, the one who took a bullet for you, isn't she?"
Hua Xian said with a smile.
"Yeah."
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Don't reveal my identity to them for now; things will get complicated once my identity is exposed.
By the way, call Andi and have her acquire that 'Zhongjiang Industrial.'
"Miss Andi won't listen to me, why don't you call her yourself?"
Hua Xian shook his head and said, "But has the Boss of Zhongjiang Industrial offended you?"
"He offended my mother-in-law. Stop talking nonsense and call Andi right now; I'm leaving!"
Xiao Chen got up and left.
Hua Xian could only smile bitterly, picking up his mobile phone and dialing the number of Xiao Corporation.
Xiao Corporation, Xiao Chen's group, had risen miraculously as a super multinational conglomerate over the past ten years.
Its business spanned hundreds of countries across the globe.
It could be said, wherever there were people, there was Xiao Corporation's business.
