The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 130

Chapter 130: Chapter 130

As these words were spoken, not only did the Bu Family Patriarch on the other end of the line sound like he dropped something in shock, but Yuan Zhou was also left staring at Si Lin in total astonishment.

Previously, he had heard Si Lin mention taking Jiang Moxi to Old Master Si’s birthday banquet and posing as his girlfriend.

But wasn’t that just a pretense?

Why does it seem now that Young Master Si has taken it seriously?

"Young Master Si, we really didn’t know Miss Jiang was your girlfriend, we..."

After the initial panic, the Bu Family Patriarch tried to explain.

But Si Lin could no longer be bothered to listen to these excuses.

"You’ve bullied my girlfriend, I’d be letting you off easy if I don’t thoroughly deal with you, and you ask me to help bail someone out? Is that possible?"

"Young Master Si..."

The Bu Family Patriarch was still rambling something on the phone, clearly very sincere.

But Si Lin had already said what he wanted to, and couldn’t be bothered to listen to his explanations anymore, so he simply tossed the phone to Yuan Zhou.

Then he took out his own phone, called his assistant, and directly ordered: "Short the Bu Family!"

Overnight, the Bu Family suddenly went bankrupt, and even the Bu Family’s mansion was emptied.

This news quickly reached the ears of Old Master Jiang, Jiang Tairan.

Jiang Tairan had initially planned to meet with Bu Xin this morning to finalize a contract that involved a concession of two percentage points.

But then this sudden news broke out, and he was somewhat incredulous.

He immediately called Bu Xin, but no one answered the phone.

Not giving up, Jiang Tairan called the Bu Family’s company, seeking to meet President Bu.

However, the receptionist informed Jiang Tairan, "Our company has gone bankrupt, sir, and President Bu you’re looking for isn’t here."

Only then did Jiang Tairan realize that the rumors were not unfounded.

But how could the Bu Family, which was thriving just yesterday, have undergone such a drastic change overnight?

Jiang Tairan couldn’t help but connect all this with Jiang Moxi.

"Could it be that girl’s doing?"

Yesterday he had taken Jiang Moxi to meet Bu Xin, and today the Bu Family had vanished from Yan City without a trace.

This all seemed too much of a coincidence.

Jiang Tairan directly called Jiang Moxi to ask for a clear explanation of the situation.

But he found that his number had also been blocked by Jiang Moxi.

With no other options, Jiang Tairan had no choice but to call Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man to the old mansion.

As soon as Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man arrived, Jiang Tairan got straight to the point.

"Does Moxi have some unknown backing, or know some very influential person?"

Jiang Guosheng said, "That child has always lived in the countryside, how could she have any backing."

As for the influencial person Jiang Moxi might know, both he and Yu Man almost simultaneously thought of Third Master Fu.

In their view, although Jiang Moxi had successfully climbed into Third Master Fu’s bed and even got an abortion for him, so far there had been no other interactions between them.

So, Jiang Moxi should have already broken it off with Third Master Fu.

Third Master Fu wouldn’t possibly make such a big fuss for her.

Moreover, this unplanned pregnancy before marriage was their family scandal.

Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man exchanged glances, tacitly choosing to keep it concealed.

Following Jiang Guosheng’s lead, Yu Man continued.

"As for some influencial person, that’s even more impossible. We never allowed her to show her face in public, how could she possibly know any influential person by herself."

But Jiang Tairan still felt something was off, so he shared the news of the Bu Family’s overnight bankruptcy with the couple.

"Moxi just met with Bu Xin, and then this happened. It’s really suspicious," Jiang Tairan said.

However, what worried Jiang Tairan even more was that if Jiang Moxi really had the ability to bring down the Bu Family overnight, then the Jiang Family would be next in line for calamity.

Jiang Guosheng noticed Jiang Tairan’s concern and made a call to a friend who had been on good terms with the Bu Family to inquire about the situation.

When Jiang Guosheng ended the call, Jiang Tairan quickly asked, "What’s the news? Any updates?"

"It’s said that Third Master Fu and Young Master Si joined forces and raided the Bu Family overnight," Jiang Guosheng said.

Jiang Tairan found this baffling: "Isn’t Third Master Fu always at odds with Young Master Si? How could they suddenly join forces?"

Jiang Guosheng couldn’t provide any explanation.

Though still perplexed, Jiang Tairan eventually attributed everything to a divine fight beyond mortal control.

Afterward, Jiang Tairan asked Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng to leave.

What Jiang Tairan didn’t know was that after leaving the Jiang Family, Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man still looked very grave.

"I somehow feel that Third Master Fu took action for the sake of Moxi," Jiang Guosheng said.

Seeing Yu Man remaining silent, Jiang Guosheng continued: "If Moxi is still involved with Third Master Fu, we better be good to her. Who knows, she might actually marry Third Master Fu one day!"

Hearing that Jiang Moxi might marry Fu Youhan, Yu Man immediately began to object.

"Do you think that’s possible? If Third Master Fu really wanted to marry her, why would he let her terminate the pregnancy?"

Jiang Guosheng found her point very logical.

Yu Man then added, "Moreover, this incident involved not only Third Master Fu but also Young Master Si. Do you think Moxi has such charm that she could make the two rival dominators of Yan City turn their swords into plowshares for her sake and jointly deal with the Bu Family?"

Jiang Guosheng nodded again.

Jiang Moxi indeed was very beautiful.

But whether it was Third Master Fu or Young Master Si, beautiful women were never absent from their side—how could they possibly achieve a century’s reconciliation just for one Jiang Moxi?

With that thought, Jiang Guosheng put aside matters related to Jiang Moxi and turned to ask Yu Man,

"What time does Weiwei’s piano class end today? How about we go pick her up and have lunch together as a family?"

"It ends in half an hour. Let’s go pick her up together. It’s been a long time since we last dined out as a family. Weiwei will definitely be happy."

Mentioning Jiang Weiwei brought a happy smile to Yu Man’s face...

When Fu Youhan woke up, he found himself in Jiang Moxi’s room, which was quite unbelievable.

Because last night, he hadn’t planned on spending the night at Jiang Moxi’s place.

What puzzled him even more was his current sleeping position.

Jiang Moxi was sleeping with her back to him, yet his long arm was tightly embracing her in his arms.

It felt as if he loved Jiang Moxi deeply.

But did he really love Jiang Moxi?

Definitely not—it was most likely his strong possessiveness at play.

Fortunately, Jiang Moxi was still in her dreams.

After hesitating for a moment, Fu Youhan quietly left.

By the time he ordered the hotel to deliver breakfast, Jiang Moxi had also woken up and after freshening up, she came to the kitchen looking for water to drink.

Perhaps it was because her cheek still clearly showed a bruise, or maybe because he had seen her eyes red and on the verge of tears yesterday,

Fu Youhan always felt that she now appeared to be a small, frail creature.

So once Jiang Moxi finished drinking water, he extended his long arm and embraced the girl in his arms.

"Does it still hurt where you are injured?"

While speaking, Fu Youhan also brought his nose close to Jiang Moxi’s neck.

Jiang Moxi slightly stiffened due to this posture...
