Chapter 2817: Chapter 1749: Scars and Roses (Part 2)

"..."

Look.

So smart and clever.

Mr. Jiang smiled. Even if he was pretending, any real annoyance was erased to dust.

Receiving the approval of friends and family is undoubtedly a very fulfilling thing.

Pei Linhan and the others don’t count; they rely on deception.

But Luo Li’er is different; she knows all the inside details.

So her acknowledgment, although it might not have a big impact, has significant meaning at least in terms of feeling.

"Do I need to intervene? This time, there are millions of men and women supporting your sister."

To be fair.

Standing from an absolutely objective perspective.

He admires the courage and integrity of the other party.

Ordinary people typing on the internet is easy and effortless, but she’s different.

Knowing full well that their opponent is a sinister and powerful force, she unhesitatingly launched an attack for strangers she has never met.

Doesn’t it have a bit of Zhang Jiao’s flavor of "uniting the masses across Jiu Zhou and shaking a royal court"?

Who said the Great Virtuous Master must be a man?

Clearly, anyone can be the Great Virtuous Master.

"No way. You can’t stand by!"

Luo Li’er’s attitude was resolute. With a dramatic contrast, she pushed him into the pantry.

In her eyes, the weight of someone seems heavier than the exposure of a cousin with over eighty million followers.

Uh-oh.

The Little Red Riding Hood is threatening the Big Gray Wolf.

This world is really too absurd!

Boss Jiang didn’t remind her of their roles, but slowly sipped some water, "What do you want me to do?"

"You..."

Her cherry lips parted slightly, yet she couldn’t articulate anything substantial.

"It’s okay, I’ll teach you."

Jiang Chen comforted her while signaling for her to make way, "Go sit and chat."

Only then did Luo Li’er step aside and after he passed, she took a sip of hot water before following closely.

Today, her stomach indeed felt uncomfortable.

"Aren’t your uncle and aunt celebrating their thirtieth wedding anniversary? It’s a good time to go back."

The two of them sat down on a mocha-colored natural leather sofa.

"What for?"

Why is she repeating herself?

Jiang Chen remained patient, "Aren’t you worried your sister will be wrongly accused? Then the only option is to investigate the accident’s truth and make it public instead of letting the truth become a tale written by anyone."

"Me, investigate?"

Luo Li’er widened her eyes, pointed at herself, utterly shocked.

"Of course not you."

"Phew..."

Luo Li’er did not seem humiliated but rather relieved, holding the hot water, absorbing its warmth with both hands, "Then who will investigate?"

"Medical accidents require a doctor to investigate."

"Those doctors are all in cahoots..."

Luo Li’er blurted out without hesitation.

Jiang Chen seemed not to hear, calmly, "You can go yourself or have someone else convey a message to the baby’s family. Tell them to go to Xinghuo Medical Center for an autopsy. No need to go to Kyoto; Licheng to River City is closer."

Jiang Chen paused, "... The child can’t wait too long, the sooner the better."

Fortunately, it’s winter now.

Time is slightly more forgiving.

Luo Li’er hasn’t heard of Xinghuo Medical Center, but she understands one principle.

Not everyone is as inclined to "interfere" like her sister.

"With such current public opinion, will Xinghuo Medical Center be willing to pick up this hot potato?"

She asked skeptically.

"I own it!"

Jiang Chen chuckled.

"..."

Luo Li’er was speechless, but then asked, "Is conducting an autopsy an action needing qualification?"

This girl.

Her mind is indeed meticulous.

She knows quite a bit.

"Don’t worry about qualifications. Just make them go; once in River City, no one can stop them from seeking the truth."

Luo Li’er suddenly fell silent.

Boss Jiang, not one for slogans or keyboard activism, held his hot water calmly, like enjoying afternoon tea.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Not feeling well?"

Indeed, Fiery Eyes is perceptive.

But Luo Li’er certainly won’t admit it.

"You really have the ability."

She muttered.

This time, it’s genuine admiration and praise, not sarcasm~

"My prowess exceeds your imagination."

Boss Jiang’s lip curled, dominating yet devilishly charming.

"How are you my brother?"

"You just said it yourself, I’m your sister’s man. Your sister’s man, shouldn’t you call me brother? Not taking accountability now, are you?"

"Tch."

Luo Li’er pouted, "Did you two get a marriage certificate? Maybe my sister won’t be with you in the future."

"Once a brother, always a brother."

Boss Jiang smoothly replied.

Luo Li’er, drinking water, glared up with fierce eyes, puffing her cheeks.

Having learned a lesson before, Boss Jiang instinctively scooted away in defense posture.

"Show off your skills."

Eventually, Luo Li’er resisted spraying the water at him; her upbringing and education disallowed it, so she swallowed the water instead, with a few drops sprinkling from her lips, quickly cleaned with a swipe of her pink tongue.

Boss Jiang didn’t fuss over it, finished sorting out her sister’s mess, tilted back to drink the remainder of the hot water, and set it down with a "pop" on the coffee table before standing up and dusting off.

"What’s happening?"

"I’m heading out."

"Leaving already?"

Jiang Chen queried. He’s explained everything; why linger?

"You got any more business?"

Luo Li’er sat on the sofa, shaking her head again.

"Better set out early."

Jiang Chen headed for the door.

"Hey."

Alright.

No more calling names.

Replacing it simply with "hey."

Jiang Chen halted, turning his head, eyes probing.

How should one evaluate someone?

He is kind, at least in this matter.

"I thank you on that family’s behalf."

Luo Li’er looked unwilling yet helpless.

"Why thank me."

Boss Jiang smiled: "Thank your sister, thank her eighty million followers, thank their child. Only the child can tell them the truth."

Luo Li’er’s pupils quivered.

"I’m off."

Boss Jiang flashed a charming smile, gracefully turned, and soon strode out of the lavish mansion perfect for love nests.

Does it matter whether he paid for it himself?

The reality is, perhaps many lackeys don’t know this or can’t comprehend.

In high society, quality males might not spend money, while women contributing is quite common.

Visited for a cup of hot water then left.

So considerate.

Luo Li’er rubbed her stomach and sighed slowly.

Feeling miserable.

Subjectively, she wants to side with the opposition, but she truly can’t harbor hatred, like having her body and soul at odds.

Pour another cup of hot water before leaving.

Luo Li’er hunched down, placing her empty cup on the coffee table, pulling her petite foot out of the slippers, curling up on the sofa, and then picking up her phone to open Star Sky, visiting her cousin’s profile again.

The likes have now surpassed three million.

It’s heading toward the ten million mark.

A thousand-mile dike collapsing due to ant holes?

No.

It’s a great tree growing from tiny sprouts, a nine-story tower beginning with stacked earth!

Flowing water gathers from all directions routinely...

Appearing turbulent.

Yet unknown if given time, will it disperse, vanish soundlessly?

Absent-minded, Luo Li’er unconsciously reopened the lively comment section, drawn to a newly posted comment.

[Is she planning to have a baby?]

Thirty thousand comments have been broken.

A comment sent out doesn’t create ripples before drowning, yet Luo Li’er stumbled upon it.

Because there was a reply from the poster under the comment!

A simple [dog head] emoji.

?????

Isn’t she a goddess beyond worldly desire?!

Due to Pei Yunxi’s reply, this comment’s likes shot up, propping it onto the front row swiftly.

The commenter’s name.

Han Jiang Gu Ying?

Click to view.

Is it a private account?

But it doesn’t matter.

This ID, Luo Li’er from East University naturally finds familiar, chuckling to herself.

Even on scarred lands, roses need planting.

Flirting openly with eighty million witnesses?

Truly romantic.
