Director Jiang, don't let the divorce get out of control.

The old lady's face darkened. "Didn't I say you'd stay at the old house?"

Jiang Wanxing's eyes flashed with surprise as she tentatively asked, "Grandma, is there something wrong with Ruan Ruan's health? Why does she suddenly want to stay at the old house?"

Has Grandma decided to accept Wen Ruan?

What about her?

Grandma Jiang didn't know how to explain it to Jiang Wanxing for a moment.

She could only vaguely reply, "She hasn't been feeling well lately, so we're letting her stay at the old house to recuperate."

Jiang Wanxing knew the old lady very well and could tell at a glance that she wasn't telling the truth.

What could be the reason for having to hide it from yourself?

Wen Ruan pursed her lips slightly and said in a deep voice, "Grandma, I..."

She tried to persuade her again, but the old lady didn't want to listen at all. She called out to Aunt Yu, "Take Wen Ruan back to her room to rest."

"Yes." Aunt Yu looked at Wen Ruan expressionlessly. "Madam, please."

Wen Ruan noticed Jiang Wanxing's gaze. If she didn't listen to the old lady, she might very well have the bodyguards take her to her room.

"Okay..." Wen Ruan stood up, the sharp pain in her knees almost making her fall back into the chair.

To avoid losing face, she gritted her teeth and pretended nothing had happened as she returned to her room.

As she closed the door, her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Just then, her phone suddenly vibrated.

Wen Ruan returned to the bedside, took out her phone and glanced at it, her breath catching in her throat.

It is Jiang Yubai.

She answered the phone, and his gentle, smiling voice came from the other end, "Up so early today?"

"Hmm... I went to bed early yesterday."

Wen Ruan bit her lower lip lightly. In the past, even when he was on a business trip, he would send her a message.

Can……

She hesitated for a moment, but still didn't ask.

"I should be home around 2 p.m. tomorrow. I brought you some local specialties; I think you'll like them."

Wen Ruan's lips curled slightly. "Okay..."

She had barely finished speaking when she belatedly realized her current situation: she couldn't even go home.

Jiang Yubai noticed something was off about her tone. "What's wrong?"

"I..." Wen Ruan was about to explain the situation when she realized that he would definitely have a meeting today.

Besides, he's abroad, and it might affect him.

Thinking of this, Wen Ruan explained, "It's okay, you must be busy today too."

"Hmm, the meeting this afternoon will probably go on until tonight."

Hearing him say that, Wen Ruan simply concealed her condition, saying, "Then you should rest well and eat well."

She couldn't help but give her some advice.

Jiang Yubai often forgets to eat when he gets busy.

I was hospitalized once because of irregular eating habits, which even caused a stomach hemorrhage.

Jiang Yubai chuckled, "Alright, I'll do whatever my wife says."

Wen Ruan's cheeks flushed crimson.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Xiao Ren's voice.

"Director, it's time to start the meeting."

Wen Ruan: "Go ahead and get busy."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Ruan carefully rubbed her knees.

Her knee injury took almost a month to heal. How should she explain it when Jiang Yubai comes back?

At this moment, on the other end of the phone.

Jiang Yubai walked towards the conference room. Thinking of Wen Ruan's attitude just now, he ordered Xiao Ren in a deep voice, "Go and investigate Wen Ruan's situation in China."

Xiao Ren was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that the director really cared about Miss Wen.

"Yes."

After accompanying Old Madam Jiang on a walk in the back garden at the Jiang family's old residence, Jiang Wanxing bid farewell and left.

Upon returning home, she immediately began to have someone investigate Wen Ruan's situation.

Grandma Jiang has disliked Wen Ruan for three years, so it's impossible for her to suddenly change her opinion of her.

Now, the fact that she's being asked to stay at the old house is clearly beyond Jiang Wanxing's expectations.

She needs to understand the situation.

At 10 p.m., the sky over Country Z was filled with stars.

Jiang Yubai finally came out of the conference room, looking somewhat tired.

"Director, you can go back to your room and rest now. I've already ordered food."

"Hmm." Jiang Yubai nodded slightly.

Back in his room, he thought of Wen Ruan and asked in a low voice, "Did you find out?"

Xiao Ren's expression changed slightly, and he hesitated before saying, "Um..."

Jiang Yubai frowned slightly. "Speak plainly."

When did he become so hesitant and stammering?

"I've found out that Madam is currently at the Jiang family's old residence..."

Xiao Ren briefly explained what she had discovered: "Butler Liu personally took her away."

Jiang Yubai's gaze darkened slightly. "So she hasn't gone home yet?"

"The old lady doesn't seem to be releasing them, and we can't find out the specifics."

Jiang Yubai understood the old lady and quickly guessed that she probably deliberately sent Wen Ruan to the old house while he was away on a business trip.

Are they planning to use the same old tricks again?

The more Jiang Yubai thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He said in a deep voice, "Book a plane ticket immediately. I need to go back tonight."

"But tomorrow morning's meeting is very important..."

"Then let's book the tickets for tomorrow morning." Jiang Yubai took off his gold-rimmed glasses, raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

It seems that Grandma never took his words to heart.

Then he doesn't need to be polite anymore.

"Have you found the person I asked you to arrange?" Jiang Yubai asked Xiao Ren.

"We've found a suitable candidate, and we can make arrangements when we get back this time."

"Okay, you should go and rest."

Jiang Yubai thought of Wen Ruan's voice on the phone; it sounded perfectly normal.

But it seemed like she had something to say to me at that moment.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

At the Jiang family's old residence, Wen Ruan was relieved to find that the old lady was not there when she had breakfast today.

She needs to think of a way to get to work tomorrow.

We can't be trapped in the old house, waiting for Jiang Yubai to come back.

After breakfast, Wen Ruan returned to her room, looked at the scenery outside the window, and fell into deep thought.

But it's easier said than done.

The Jiang family's old residence has a very high level of security, which she cannot easily break through.

Moreover, Aunt Yu and the other servants took turns guarding the door.

Even if she could run home, it would only make Old Madam Jiang even angrier.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated.

Wen Ruan snapped out of her reverie, picked up her phone from the table, glanced at the caller ID, and didn't really want to answer.

Why did Ji Shiyan suddenly contact her?

After thinking it over, Wen Ruan answered the phone. Ji Shiyan's cool voice came from the other end, "You've been surrounded by quite a lot of people lately."

"What do you mean?" Wen Ruan frowned slightly.

I don't understand why he said that.

"Jiang Yubai just lets it trend on social media every few days?" Ji Shiyan asked sarcastically, seemingly full of disdain.

Wen Ruan didn't like him speaking to Jiang Yubai in that tone, and her face turned cold. "This has nothing to do with you."

"It's indeed none of my business, but you haven't forgotten that the Ji family needs your translation for their communication with the foreign businessmen next week, have you?"

Ji Shiyan reminded him quietly, "I asked you to clarify the rumors about you before, and I even personally helped you. It's only been a few days, and you've gotten into trouble again."

"I don't remember you being prone to accidents. Why don't you go to a temple and pray to see if you've done too many bad things that's causing this?"

Wen Ruan knew that Ji Shiyan was deliberately mocking her, but his suggestion actually made her somewhat tempted.

She seems to be having a really bad run of luck lately.

"It seems Mr. Ji is quite knowledgeable. Do you have any good recommendations?" Wen Ruan asked calmly.
