Kang Li shook her head. She had a small bowl of wontons, then said to Jiang Hongfa, "I’m going to make a call ho." Right now, in China, it’s around seven thirty in the evening, so surely everyone is ho.
"Go ahead."
Jiang Hongfa nodded, indicating he understood.
Standing up, Kang Li went to the living room.
Back in China.
Luo Yanqing had been sitting by the landline ever since returning to the compound from the hospital.
"Will Li Bao really call again?"
Cai Xiufen asked Kang Guoan.
"Will do, Li Bao said so on the phone with ." Kang Guoan nodded, then told Kang Yiyang and Kang Yihong, "Tomorrow morning you both return to school, did you hear ?"
Kang Yiyang: "I need to make sure Aunt is fine."
Kang Yihong echoed: "As long as Aunt is okay, I’ll naturally return to school."
"I’ve said, from the sound of her voice, your aunt doesn’t seem out of sorts. I reckon she’s safe now." Despite saying this, Kang Guoan also needed to reconfirm his precious sister’s safety.
Luo Yanqing sat by the landline, lips pursed, not making a sound.
"Grandma, when do you think Mom will co back?"
This was Ming Han’s voice.
"When your mom calls, we’ll ask her."
Cai Xiufen couldn’t fathom why the family abroad would suddenly take Kang Li away but knew there had to be sothing amiss, and it wasn’t small.
Suddenly, the landline rang.
Before it rang a few more tis, Luo Yanqing grabbed the phone, lips trembling, voice quivering, "Hello..." Confirming it was Kang Li’s voice, he imdiately choked, tears streaming, "I’m sorry... Xiao Li, I’m sorry..."
"Why say sorry? Idiot!"
"I..."
"Don’t speak now, listen to ."
"Okay."
Luo Yanqing tightly gripped the phone, carefully listening to every word Kang Li said from the other end, after a mont, he said, "I know... Don’t worry, are you okay? Yeah, I’m fine, you don’t need to worry, I’m doing well... Okay, I’ll do as you say..."
"... If you have sothing to say, say it, I’m very busy!"
Jiang Boya was dealing with docunts, told by his assistant that Miss Davis wanted to see him, given there was so business cooperation with the Davis Family, Jiang Boya decided to et.
But since Miss Lily, that is, Miss Davis was brought by the assistant to Jiang Boya’s office, he didn’t even raise his head to look at her.
"I am Lisha Davis..."
"If you have sothing to say, say it."
"Ten years ago... ten years ago you and I spent a night together, do you rember?" she said, giving a hotel’s na and the exact date.
At this, Jiang Boya was first stunned, then his expression turned very unpleasant.
Being assaulted by a woman for the first ti in his life was a disgrace! To him.
A decade could be long or short, he hadn’t thought about the event, but now it was brought up face-to-face, what did it an?
Raising his gaze, Jiang Boya looked intently at the woman.
"What on earth do you want to say?"
That night, due to excessive drinking from socializing, he had stayed at that hotel.
In a blur, he sensed soone on top of him, then... After waking up the next day, truthfully, he’d wanted to strangle the woman beside him!
What did it an when she said he hadn’t closed the room door, or that she entered by accident...
No excuses could change that he had been taken advantage of by a stranger.
Jiang Boya’s face darkened as he looked at her, "Miss Davis, after ten years, here you are, are you seeking responsibility from ?" He almost ground out these words.
Miss Lily shook her head, "I want to ask you to help my son."
"Miss Davis, are you seriously joking with ? Your son, and he needs an outsider’s help?" Mocking, Jiang Boya coldly said, "You can leave."
Tears welled up in Miss Lily’s eyes, she nearly knelt before Jiang Boya.
"Leave, I can’t help you."
Seeing Miss Lily stand unmoving, Jiang Boya called the assistant in to lead her away.
Reflecting on the past to this point, tears involuntarily wet Miss Lily’s eyes, believing Jiang Boya would reject helping her son Allen, as he declared, yet half a month later, Jiang Boya called her to say he could go for testing.
But the Lord showed no rcy to Allen, Jiang Boya’s marrow was also unusable, so she asked Jiang Boya for Director Jiang to test as well.
Jiang Boya ignored her, striding away.
Day by day the panic and unease grew inside, fearing the doctor’s deadline would an losing Allen forever.
She cheekily sought Jiang Boya again last year, asking if he had children...
She was expelled from Jiang Boya’s office.
And Jiang Boya severed the comrcial cooperation with her family, suppressing their family in the marketplace, in a ruthless manner.
Ultimately, her father intervened to calm the storm she caused.
The terms of the negotiation, she didn’t know, but it wasn’t hard to guess: relinquishing interests!
Yet she hadn’t abandoned the hope of saving her son Allen, spreading the word privately, offering a substantial reward to anyone who could reveal whether Jiang Boya has children.
Gathering her thoughts, Miss Lily rose and walked to the window, fixedly gazing at her beloved roses, murmuring, "For Allen, I wouldn’t mind kneeling to plead with you, Jiang Boya..."
At the Jiang family estate.
Kang Li got up to wash and dress, then descended wearing a simple, elegant long dress.
"Co sit, breakfast is ready."
Seeing Kang Li, Jiang Hongfa invited her to breakfast, "I didn’t know your breakfast preferences, so I had the chef make a variety. Try it, and if you like anything, let Aunt Fu know so she can tell the chef to prepare it according to your liking in the future."
"No need for the hassle."
Kang Li shook her head. She had a small bowl of wontons, then said to Jiang Hongfa, "I’m going to make a call ho." Right now, in China, it’s around seven thirty in the evening, so surely everyone is ho.
Kang Yihong echoed, "As long as Aunt is okay, I’ll naturally return to school."
"I’ve said, from the sound of her voice, your aunt doesn’t seem out of sorts. I reckon she’s safe now." Despite saying this, Kang Guoan also needed to reconfirm his precious sister’s safety.
