Chapter 56 – The money is gone
Lu Yudong finished speaking and vented his anger on Jiang Ci.
When Jiang Ci woke up, her body was covered in bruises.
Jiang Ci felt that this whole situation wasn't her fault at all. If anyone was to blame, it was Lu Yudong for being so easily influenced by Yin Xuemo. She was utterly indignant.
After getting up and washing, she didn't speak to Lu Yudong. She grabbed a large shopping bag, packed a few of her clothes, and deliberately took the marriage certificate with her.
That night, she didn't plan to come back.
Instead, she took a taxi to the hospital, without bothering Lu Yudong.
As expected, she ran into Yin Xuemo in the hospital corridor, who was still filming.
Jiang Ci stood there.
Yin Xuemo could immediately tell that Jiang Ci was not in a good mood today, but she wasn't sure if it was related to Lu Yudong.
After all, she had told Lu Yudong about the matter on Monday, and if he wanted to react, he should have done so by now.
"Miss Yin, from now on, I'll handle my own affairs. I don't need you to convey anything. I know you want to marry him. Sooner or later, I'll let you have him!" With that, Jiang Ci walked away.
She left a group of people bewildered.
Yin Xuemo always maintained a gentle and gracious image in public. She smoothed things over for Jiang Ci, saying, "This is my little sister, she's quite headstrong. Please understand, let's quickly move on to the next scene."
Yin Xuemo watched coldly as Jiang Ci entered the hospital room.
Jiang Ci's mother's room, which Yin Xuemo had seen that day, had the patient's name on the medical chart: Tu Ying.
Because the surname was unique, Yin Xuemo remembered it. Back then, it was her...

...
Jiang Ci planned to stay in her mom's hospital room today and return to the dorm tomorrow.
Her mom was in a private room with an accompanying bed, and chatting with Zhou Qi kept her from feeling lonely.
Yin Xuemo sent a WeChat message to Lu Yudong: "What's up with your little wife? She came to the hospital today and questioned me about what I told you. She even insisted that she'd divorce you and let me have you. Everyone on set laughed at me, so I had to say she was my sister."
Lu Yudong was sitting on the sofa at home. Seeing this message, his lips tightened, and a vein throbbed at his temple.
He told Grandpa that Jiang Ci wouldn't be coming home tonight because she was taking care of her mom, in case of any emergencies.
Grandpa, being a very understanding person, said, "That's the right thing to do. You can't always rely on the nurses for everything."
But Lu Yudong's thoughts were elsewhere.
On Monday, as soon as Jiang Ci started work, her desk phone rang.
"Come here." It was Lu Yudong.
Jiang Ci was still angry with Lu Yudong.
He wanted Jiang Ci to go to him, but she stubbornly refused, especially since there was so much to do on a Monday.
When Lu Yudong waited and she didn't show up, he called Xing Baohua.
"Tell Jiang Ci to come to my office."
Xing Baohua felt a headache coming on. The reason Mr. Lu asked him to call Jiang Ci was probably because he couldn't get her to come himself. If Xing Baohua also failed, it would be his responsibility...
"Jiang Ci, Mr. Lu wants you to go to his office," Xing Baohua said humbly to Jiang Ci.
"I'll go after I finish this account," Jiang Ci replied, focused on the accounts in front of her, not even looking up.
The account was very complicated.
Xing Baohua felt like his head was about to explode.
He called Lu Yudong back, saying Jiang Ci was busy with the accounts.
Lu Yudong took a deep breath, controlling his temper, "Tell her, if she doesn't come, the money is gone!"
Xing Baohua didn't understand what "money" meant, thinking it was a joke between the two of them.
As a dignified Finance Director, he found himself running errands on a Monday morning.
After relaying the message to Jiang Ci, she paused for a moment, then marked the account she was working on and headed to Lu Yudong's office.
Jiang Ci knew very well that the "money" Lu Yudong referred to was the remaining five million.
She had been acting for so long and couldn't just give up halfway.
She hadn't spent her own money on buying a computer, and she wasn't short of money now, but she was unwilling to let it go!
After all, the five million had been agreed upon earlier.
She knocked on the door of Lu Yudong's office.
