An Exclusive Love Chapter 448 - Jiang Rui and Another Woman

The Old Master in the Lu family died.

It was said that he fell down from the stairs accidentally and broke his neck.

Jiang Rui went to the funeral with Bear. Lu Tao knelt down in the mourning hall and his second and third uncles were pointing and scolding him.

“If you hadn’t annoyed him, why would he have fallen down from the stairs? You caused your grandpa’s death. Such a b.a.s.t.a.r.d like you doesn’t belong to the Lu family.”

Lu Tao wanted to explain but then he suddenly saw Jiang Rui. So he stood up hurriedly, “Officer Jiang, you are here.”

The second and third son in the Lu family immediately pointed their “guns” against Jiang Rui, “Who let you come? My father can’t take your mourning.”

Both of his sons’ deaths were related to Jiang Rui. Though there was no evidence, they already blamed Jiang Rui for it.

“We don’t stand for ourselves.” Bear took a look at him and pa.s.sed the incenses to Jiang Rui.

The guys from the Lu family stopped speaking. Since they didn’t stand for themselves, then they stood for the military force. It was respect given to the Lu family. So even if they hated it, they had to accept.

“Don’t be too sad.” Jiang Rui said and turned to leave.

The two men still wanted to say something more but Lu Tao whispered to them, “Uncles, if you want to revenge, you should follow my words.”

Bear drove Jiang Rui away.

“Master, what do you think…”

Jiang Rui looked to the ad sign by the road. It was an advertis.e.m.e.nt for diamond rings. He suddenly remembered that he had never put a ring on Chen Chen’s fingers. He hadn’t even proposed.

Bear didn’t know he was absent-minded and still mumbled, “In my opinion, Lu Tao benefits the most no matter whether he is related to the old man’s death. He is the only one left in the third generation of the Lu family. The second son in the Lu family just wants the a.s.sets. I guess even the shareholders will stand by Lu Tao’s side.”

He finished the words for quite a while and saw Jiang Rui still looking through the window, “Master?”

“I heard you.” Jiang Rui looked back, “Lu Tao is so greedy that he won’t let his uncles stay in the company. Later, he will have a way to drive them away. Or he may… just kill them.”

Bear said angrily, “That guy has killed several people.”

“That’s right!” Jiang Rui smiled, “So, we must stop it.”

Chen Chen was very surprised when she knew it. Then she continued to think about it and seemed confused.

Ah Zi glanced at her, “What’s wrong? Your G.o.d of War didn’t feed you enough recently?”

“You don’t know!” Chen Chen said mysteriously, “Brother Xiao Rui is weird recently. He stares at me for no reason. But when I look at him, he’ll change the direction of his sight.”

“Are you too sensitive because of your period?”

Chen Chen said seriously, “I’m not too sensitive. It is true.”

Ah Zi stared at her, “From a psychology perspective, this kind of behavior shows that the man may have done something unfaithful to the woman.”

“What… ” Chen Chen asked foolishly.

“Cheating!” Ah Zi rolled the eyes at her, “He feels sorry to his girlfriend because he has done something unspeakable with another woman. But he doesn’t know how to deal with it, so he has such strange behaviors.”

Chen Chen blinked, “You mean, Brother Xiao Rui has another woman?”

“You’re so silly. What do you think I’m talking about?” Ah Zi poked on her head.

“It’s impossible!” Chen Chen pushed back her hand, “Brother Xiao Rui said he loved me!” Chen Chen flushed and smiled, “He never lies.”

Ah Zi nodded, “You’re right. The G.o.d of War is not that type. You should stop thinking about it. Maybe he has some problems in the troops recently. You can’t help him. So just live well!”

“You’re so annoying.” Chen Chen angrily stared at her, “I’m going back.”

Ah Zi stopped her, “You don’t wait for your husband to pick you up?”

“Nope!” Chen Chen waved her hand and ran out from the store.

She didn’t go back home directly. Instead, she took a taxi to a supermarket.

“Since Brother Xiao Rui is not in a good mood, I should cook a meal for him!” Chen Chen mumbled, “He always cooks for me. Last time, I learnt a few dishes from Mum. Now it’s my turn to give him a surprise.”

Just thinking about it, she couldn’t hold her smiles. Then she accidentally looked at the other side of the road and was stunned.

Jiang Rui went to the store to pick her up but was told by Ah Zi that Chen Chen left earlier. He quickly drove back home and bought Chen Chen’s favorite ice cream cake on the road. On arriving home, he saw Tuan Zi bending down on the table.

“Dad!” Tuan Zi saw Jiang Rui and ran to him, “Mum is cooking today!”

Jiang Rui surprisedly looked to the kitchen and Chen Chen walked out with a bowl of soup in her hands. He hurriedly walked up to take it over, “Who let you cook? What if you get burned?”

“I’m not a child and won’t get hurt so easily.” Chen Chen smiled, “I learnt it back home from my mother on the New Year. You should get your hands washed and change your clothes now. Then you can have a taste!”

Jiang Rui gently looked at her and touched Chen Chen’s face, “Okay, the food Liuliu cooked must be delicious!”

Tuan Zi saw her dad entering the room and then said in a low voice, “Mum, did you kill the guy who sold salt?”

“Ah? What?” Chen Chen sat by the table.

“It’s so salty.” Tuan Zi pointed at the tray of pork ribs.

Chen Chen took up the chopsticks, “It’s impossible. I made sweet and sour spareribs!”

“Puff!” She spat out the rib, “Ah, too salty.”

Tuan Zi pa.s.sed her a gla.s.s of water, “Mum, you must have mistaken the salt for sugar.”

“Throw it into the dustbin!” She had no time to drink. Instead, she took up the dish and ran to the kitchen.

“Liuliu?” But Jiang Rui came near, “Where are you going to take the dish to?”

Tuan Zi wanted to talk when Chen Chen stared at her, “I think… I think it’s not healthy to eat meat at night.”

Haha, the little girl had grown up. She had learnt to tell a lie for him. Jiang Rui happily took over the ribs, “Don’t worry. We can just eat a little. Come here!”

Chen Chen had to sit down nervously and saw Jiang Rui put the rib into his mouth. She was terribly anxious, but the man said, “It’s so delicious. My Liuliu is very talented at cooking!”

“Is… is it tasty?” Chen Chen unbelievably looked at him, “Brother Xiao Rui, you… you don’t think it’s salty?”

Jiang Rui shook his head and picked up another slice, “No, I like the flavor!”

Chen Chen looked for quite a while and found that there was really nothing wrong with Jiang Rui. So she felt relieved. But she didn’t notice Tuan Zi who was rolling her eyes.

Mum was the easiest to trick. Dad was obviously trying to make you happy…

“Well… Brother Xiao Rui…” Chen Chen saw Jiang Rui finished two bowls of rice quickly. Then she thought of the scene she saw that afternoon, so she asked.

Jiang Rui was secretly spitting out the stone in the soup, “Um, what’s wrong?”

“Are you busy at work this afternoon?” She stared at Jiang Rui.

Jiang Rui quietly put down the bowl, “I have been attending meetings. I’m kind of busy these days.”

Puff! The soup in Chen Chen’s hand spilled on the table.

“Did you get hurt?” Jiang Rui quickly pulled her into his arms, “Tuan Zi, get the ointment.”

“… No, I didn’t.” Chen Chen said gently.

Jiang Rui became more anxious, “Is it painful? Hurry up, Tuan Zi!”

A piece of skin on Chen Chen’s hand turned red. Tuan Zi watched Jiang Rui covering the wound with ointment, “Mum, I’ll blow it for you. Then it won’t hurt.”

“I don’t feel the pain.” Chen Chen shook her head.

“You’re crying. It must hurt badly.” Tuan Zi gave her a tissue.

Chen Chen rubbed her face with it. She didn’t know she was crying but she felt great pain inside.

That afternoon, she saw Jiang Rui sitting in the cafeteria with Zhou Yiyun. Though Zhou Yiyun wore a pair of dark gla.s.ses, Chen Chen knew it was her at first sight.

You actually had a date with her but you said you were in a meeting…

“I’m fine.” Chen Chen stood up, “Cooking is so exhausting. I want to sleep.”

Jiang Rui saw her pale face and thought she was really tired. He felt so sorry and accompanied her into the room. Then he washed her face and covered her with the quilt.

“I’ll get the table cleaned now. Then I will stay with you!” Jiang Rui kissed her, turned off the light and went out.

Tuan Zi was still sitting in the living room. She saw her dad and said immediately, “Dad, Mum seems to be very sad. Her mood is grey.”

“Sad?” Jiang Rui was surprised, “How could it be? She ate up all the food…”

He looked at his daughter who was enjoying the cake, “Tuan Zi, did you say that the food Mum cooked was not tasty?”

“Um…” Tuan Zi drew back her neck anxiously, “I thought Mum wouldn’t mind it. I’ll apologize to her tomorrow!”

Jiang Rui patted her head, “That’s right. It is the first time that your mother has cooked. We should encourage her.”

Seeing Jiang Rui keeping drinking water, Tuan Zi smiled, “Dad, do you feel salty?”

“Stop it!” Jiang Rui flicked on her forehead, “Take a bath now.”

After he finished the cleaning and went back to the room, Chen Chen was already asleep. Her eyes were still red which showed that she had cried.

Jiang Rui frowned. He tucked himself into the quilt, held her into his arms and fell asleep.

Chen Chen dreamt for the entire night. At first, there were full of people she didn’t know, red fluid flowing around and children’s cries. Then Jiang Rui led her to walk on a dark road. As they went on and on, Jiang Rui disappeared and she was alone there.

She ran and shouted Jiang Rui’s name. But n.o.body answered. There was a light far ahead. She tried to run to it but at last, she saw Jiang Rui holding a woman and smiling at her.

“No!” Chen Chen suddenly sat up.

She was alone in bed. She tumbled to the washroom to clean her face. When she was in the living room, there was no one. And on the table was a note Jiang Rui left.

“Liuliu, breakfast is in the heating bucket. Remember to call me when you wake up.”

Chen Chen angrily threw the note on the ground. Then she pouted and looked at her phone.

After a while, she sighed and was about to call Jiang Rui when the phone rang. She took a look and saw a strange number.

“h.e.l.lo.”

The person’s voice was unfamiliar to her, either. It was a husky male’s voice.

“Is it Mrs. Jiang?”

“Who is this?” Chen Chen thought the voice sounded weird.

The man smiled, “It doesn’t matter who I am. You should go to the Feng Hua Cafeteria on Binhai Road right away. You’ll see something really interesting there!”

“Why should I follow your words?” Chen Chen panicked. She wanted to throw her phone away.

The man on the line shouted, “You’ll regret it if you don’t go there!”
