Chapter 658: Chapter 658: What About My Daughter-in-law?

Jiang Li remained calm and composed, "You didn’t ask me, did you?"

Jiang Yan: "...."

"It’s not like that." He leaned half his body toward the front seat, "When did you meet such a big shot? I knew something was off with you two, always exchanging glances—"

Before he could finish the word "go," Jiang Li’s gaze had already shot over, prompting Jiang Yan to swallow the rest of his words.

"Our relationship is strictly professional; he is my employer, pays me to do tasks, and as for the specifics of the employment," Jiang Li’s gaze was icy, "that’s confidential under the contract, so I can’t tell you."

Everyone was shocked.

People had heard that Jiang Li knew some Mystical Skills, but who would have thought she’d expand her job scope to the wealthiest? How much money would that bring in? She must be so rich!

Including the prize money she had won on this program, she probably would never run out of money in her lifetime.

However, what people in the car didn’t realize was that Jiang Li had been fretting over a lack of money for the past few days.

The prize money she had would definitely be invested in Shao Changqing’s film project, and it might even not be enough.

Her current side job was in its growth phase and also needed financial backing.

To eliminate future issues, hiring a good housekeeper was necessary, and she still had no funds to pay He Pingzhang’s salary.

She was indeed poor!

The car eventually arrived at the local district hospital.

Zhao Lang had purposefully asked the show crew to keep this trip confidential, so they encountered no hindrances on the way, and the crazy fans were almost nonexistent, making the journey smooth.

Jiang Cheng was arranged a luxury VIP single room at the hospital, with top-notch food and accommodations, displaying Zhao Lang’s thorough consideration.

Jiang Li was very satisfied and sent Zhao Lang a "Thank you" after seeing the room.

At that time, Zhao Lang was sitting in his study at home.

The old man had finally agreed to see him, but he still looked displeased, constantly complaining about not bringing the person home.

"She helped our family solve such a big problem, and you didn’t bring her here to thank her properly. She is a major benefactor to our family!"

Gu Shengrong had always admired Jiang Li’s abilities and appreciated the young lady even more after hearing Zhao Lang’s detailed account of how she dealt with the evil town object.

Over the years, he had privately sought many capable people, spending tens of millions at least.

Yet, all those efforts had been futile.

Now, the Jiang family girl managed to resolve a major problem that had troubled their entire family for ages.

They had to treat her well!

What if such a capable person were snatched away by another family?

Thinking about this, Gu Shengrong grew even more irritated. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"I told you not to just focus on those old men in the company, and now look, the young girl doesn’t even care about you!"

Zhao Lang: "...." Who was it who insisted he couldn’t come home unless he stayed overseas for three full years?

Zhao Lang coughed twice, "Grandpa, this is my personal matter, please don’t interfere, I have my discretion."

Given Jiang Li’s personality, if he pressured her too much, she might well have had a falling-out with him.

"Discretion? Why don’t you explain your kind of discretion to me?"

"Grandpa, I’ll discuss it with you when I return, I don’t have time now."

"Return? Where are you going now?"

"Southern Fujian," Zhao Lang adjusted his sleeve and said, "This matter isn’t completely resolved yet. My people found out that Zhuola returned to the country then went silent for a while, with her initial activities in the southern regions. So, I need to go there personally."

Gu Shengrong puffed up his cheeks angrily, "You’re leaving in a few days? What about my granddaughter-in-law?"

Zhao Lang: ?

How did she become the granddaughter-in-law?

...

Inside Hai City District Hospital.

Jiang Cheng’s recovery was going well, having regained some color in his face after just one day apart.

The nurse handed the hospitalization form to Jiang Li.

"Miss Jiang, Jiang’s condition is no longer serious, he only needs timely dressing changes now, and the doctor has already treated his leg and applied a cast. We’ve already handed over the other details to the Capital’s hospital, and you can proceed with the transfer formalities tomorrow."

"The hospitalization and surgery fees have been fully paid by Mr. Gu, and there’s also an accompanying room available next door that you can use."

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now, just call me if you need anything."

The nurse closed the door as she left. Bai Lu, looking at the exorbitant bill, couldn’t help exclaiming,

"This room costs over thirty thousand a day, truly worthy of the wealthiest."

Shang Shuyue nodded in agreement, "Regardless of other things, Gu Yu is really reliable in handling matters."

Ever since they found out he was the grandson of the wealthiest man, everyone’s opinion of him had changed.

Not only did they find him less annoying, but they even thought he had a good temperament and lacked arrogance, turning criticisms into compliments.

After all, finding another gentlemanly and considerate elite like Gu Yu in high society would be tough, right?

Even Jiang Yan was impressed.

"Sis, if you really want a boyfriend, I won’t object to this Gu Yu, I don’t know about his character, but I’m aware of his financial stature. If it comes to it, marry him first then you could take half his family fortune if you separate!"

Jiang Li laughed, "Calling you simple-minded and you really just embraced it, do you think families like his don’t arrange prenuptial financial agreements? What belongs to others, others won’t take a penny; that’s a capitalist for you."

"In our Daqi, those from the Marquis Mansion and Duke Mansion did detailed calculations for the dowry and gifts during marriage discussions.

Not to mention in this more complex 21st-century society.

"Sis doesn’t even need a boyfriend. Even if sis gets old later, I can still take care of her!"

Jiang Cheng’s voice came from the adjacent restroom.

The restroom door opened, and he wheeled out with a face full of grievance.

"Even if Gu Yu were the wealthiest in the world, it wouldn’t work. Could he stay good to sis forever?"

Are there many good men out there?

In case they marry and he abandons his wife and children, the ones who suffer would still be the wife and kids.

So, he needed to grow up fast and support his sister with his abilities, not letting any stinky man get close to her!

As if afraid Jiang Li wouldn’t believe him, Jiang Cheng quickly put on a pitiable face and looked at Jiang Li.

"Sis, I’m telling the truth, I won’t ever get married either, just treat me as your forever brother, and I’ll take care of you."

Jiang Yan was speechless.

Has this kid’s acting like a ’caring sibling’ gotten even better?!

"Ugh, why has your brother become so clingy," Bai Lu poked Jiang Li, "Listening to this makes me want to ask my mom to have another one."

Jiang Li was speechless.

"Don’t think too much, what are you even talking about? I have none of these messy relationships with that Gu Yu, if you are so gossipy, why don’t you marry him?"
