Chapter 499: Chapter 499: It’s Not Like He’s the Only Option
But Beichen Rui has always been firm in his decisions, once he decides something it’s hard for him to change his mind!!
Suddenly thinking of something, Mother Jiang frowned with some concern and said, "Shihan, how did the matter go last time?"
"Zhang Qiang was caught, I don’t know where they took him, I’m worried he won’t be able to withstand and might expose me, Mom, what should I do? I’ve been on edge these days, afraid that Rui might notice something unusual."
She gently patted her back and comforted her softly, "Don’t worry, those brothers of Zhang Qiang all died at his hands, they must hate him immensely, so why would they talk?"
"Really?" ...For some reason, she still felt worried inside.
"Why think so much? If they really found out about you, do you think that Arui kid would stay calm? If he knew who did it, he would’ve already taken action long ago, he wouldn’t wait until now."
"You should just rest easy for now, after some time, go say a few nice words to see if there’s any room for maneuver in this matter. If it doesn’t work, Mom will find you another good husband, there aren’t only Beichen Rui’s in this world!"
"But I only want to marry him." ...I’ve wanted this since I was a child, until this moment when the dream shattered, only then did I realize how merciless that man is.
"Shihan, don’t be so unambitious, as the daughter of the Jiang Family, how can you think like this? Beichen Family breaking off the engagement with you, that’s their loss, as for that old man..."
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Shihan frowned.
Mother Jiang patted her hand and smiled, "Don’t worry, Mom has her limits, that old man is getting on in years, his mind isn’t so sharp, he’s really not fit to continue living in this world!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shihan furrowed her brows, wanting to say something, but in the end she couldn’t speak.
...
Beichen Rui returned to the villa and went straight to Ye Xinluo’s room.
At this moment, Ye Xinluo was sitting on the sofa, looking at her phone, the door was suddenly pushed open, and she looked up.
She saw Beichen Rui with a dark face, arms crossed, walking in.
She put down her phone, asking with some concern, "Is something wrong?"
Without answering her question, he sat next to her, laying his head on her shoulder.
Staring blankly at his actions, she asked in puzzlement, "Did something happen?"
Beichen Rui pursed his lips without speaking, just leaned on her shoulder, and after a long time he said, "The wound hurts."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinluo was startled and quickly helped him sit up, intending to take off his clothes.
Before she could touch him, he suddenly grabbed her hand, his tone playful, "What are you doing, it’s daytime. And the door is not closed either."
Ye Xinluo: "..."
She rolled her eyes at him with annoyance, "Why didn’t you say earlier that the wound hurts?"
Regardless of whether he agreed or not, she reached out to take off his jacket, and one by one, unbuttoned the shirt inside.
Revealing his well-defined chest, Ye Xinluo’s face suddenly turned red. Her hands paused.
"What is it? Shy?" Beichen Rui’s voice came, staring at her embarrassed little expression, chuckling softly.
She took several deep breaths, then continued with her hands, taking off his shirt, and went to check his injury.
On the bandage, there was a faint hint of a blood bead, but fortunately, it wasn’t bleeding any further.
She frowned and spoke, her tone somewhat reproachful, "What’s going on? Don’t tell me you did this accidentally yourself!"
