Newlywed and old love, the president's secret bride

Chapter 169 Follow me, or stay?The butler went out to make a phone call, but quickly returned to the living room, and replied respectfully: "Miss, the Jiang family said that Miss Zijin was picked up just now."

Nancy was slightly startled, turning the glass in her hand, "By whom?"

What a coincidence, just in time for her to see her, was picked up?

"I heard it's a distinguished guest from England."

There was a thoughtful look in Nancy's eyes.How could that woman be a guest brought back by Jiang Lin, how could the Jiang family let her go without Jiang Lin's permission?

This "honored guest from England" seems to have a lot of background.

"Find out where they went." Nancy ordered, "If anyone comes back, remember to let me know."

"Yes, ma'am."

A doctor came out of the operating room to report the progress to Miss Nancy. While the two were talking, a huge shadow slowly walked out of the bedroom of the hotel.

The doctor turned his back and didn't see clearly, only felt a furry thing spraying heat on his neck, he turned his head abruptly, his eyes focused on the magnified face of the lion, and his face turned pale with fright.

"Yes, there are lions! Help!"

Stimulated by the smell of blood on his body and his screams, the male lion opened its mouth wide open. Nancy sat on the sofa, her blue eyes squinting with interest.

After watching for a few seconds, she turned her head, smiled and said to the butler, "It has been kept in Jiang's house for 14 years. It probably hasn't eaten a living person for a long time. Look at it, it's excited now."

The butler also watched without changing his expression, neither spoke nor moved.

After hearing her words, the doctor almost fainted from fright, his mind went blank, and he said in a crying voice, "Miss, help, help..."

Seeing the lion approaching step by step, the sharp fangs were about to bite the doctor's head.

Nancy suddenly pulled out a shotgun from the tall box beside her.With a loud noise and a low growl, the lion took two steps back heavily, blood bubbling from his body.

There was a fierce light in its pupils, and after roaring, it rushed towards the sofa.

Nancy looked at it with her head tilted, her face showed no fear, the shotgun in her hand didn't move, and she didn't even blink her eyelids.

Just a second before the lion pounced on her, several bodyguards around him shot at the same time, hitting several dead spots on its body.Less than half a meter away from the woman on the sofa, the lion fell heavily in a pool of blood.

Nancy got up from the sofa, elegantly walked around the bloodstains in front of her, helped the doctor who was still in shock, and said apologetically and sincerely: "I'm really sorry to have surprised you."

After finishing speaking, he turned back to the butler and said, "Drag it down."

After thinking for a while, she suddenly asked to herself, "Have you ever eaten the internal organs of a lion?"

The doctor looked apprehensive, not sure whether the noble countess was talking to him.

Nancy didn't wait for his answer, she smiled slightly and said, "I haven't eaten either."

The steward understood immediately, and summoned the kitchen to drag the lion's body away.

Blood was spread on the floor, Nancy pinched the center of her brows, and frowned in discomfort.

After a long time, she seemed to remember something, bowed to the doctor and said, "I'm sorry for wasting your time, now you can go back and treat the 'lion' inside."

The doctor looked over her slender figure and saw the bright red floor behind her, and then remembered the internal organs she mentioned, his stomach was overwhelmed, and he rushed to the bathroom with his mouth covered...

Nancy was stunned for two seconds, then shook her head with a smile.

In the night, an expensive car slowly drove out of the Jiangjia Manor, and the speed still did not increase after getting on the main road.

Duan Zijin sat in the car, looking sideways at the man beside him.She had all kinds of questions in her mind, but the moment her eyes touched the wheelchair under him, she stopped temporarily, "Your injury..."

Tang Jichi glanced at her indifferently, and saw that what she really wanted to ask was not this matter.But he just pursed his lower lip and moved his fingers slightly, his expression remained the same.

"It's nothing serious, the doctor said it will be fine after a while."

"That's good."

Duan Zijin was silent for a moment, and finally asked the question that had been suppressed all the way in his heart: "Just now... you were at Jiang's house, and you mentioned Li Nanxi..."

Tang Jichi listened to her quietly without interrupting, but Duan Zijin couldn't continue. In the dim light, he could clearly see her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

"Six years ago, you asked me to investigate her, remember?" Tang Jichi's voice was warm and quiet.

The desperate winter six years ago came to Duan Zijin's mind, and he couldn't help looking away, "I remember." At that time, he told her that Li Nanxi was Jiang Lin's fiancée, and she stopped asking, "You Why did you appear in the Jiang family, and why did you mention her all of a sudden?"

Tang Jichi's expression remained indifferent, "I explained why I appeared here, to take you away. As for why Li Nanxi was mentioned suddenly..." He changed the subject and asked, "I lived in Jiang's house for five days. Don't you have any doubts?"

Duan Zijin felt his heart go cold following his words, and murmured: "Is it really her?"

Before Tang Jichi appeared tonight, she had already guessed about it, and his appearance just proved her guess.

Duan Zijin's eyelids kept twitching, his heart seemed to be hanging in the air, "Jiang Lin's cousin said that he was taken away by Duke Leopold, will something happen?"

Tang Jichi didn't answer her question, and Duan Zijin didn't point out that he would answer. He suddenly raised his head and said, "Stop the car, I want to get off!"

The man frowned and grabbed her, "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to find him!" Duan Zijin was in a mess, "I..."

"Where are you going to find him?" Tang Jichi asked coldly, "You don't even know where he is! Calm down, Duan You! This is his family's territory. Would the Jiang family just watch him have an accident? Let alone now You are in danger, understand?"

Duan Zijin froze as if he had been slapped in the face.Her lips trembled slightly, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Tang Jichi frowned even tighter, but his tone slowed down a lot. He sighed and looked out the window, "Yuyou, you knew six years ago that he had a fiancee, why did you go back to China, why did you still stay with him?"

Duan Zijin clenched his fingers tightly, "I didn't break up with Jiang Lin because he has a fiancée. Whether it was six years ago or now, this is not a reason for me to give up on him."

"Then what is it?" Tang Jichi suddenly turned his head and stared at her closely.

Duan Zijin covered his face with his hands, and didn't speak for a long, long time.Just when Tang Jichi thought she wasn't going to tell him, he suddenly heard a woman's hoarse voice coming from between her fingers.

She spoke very lightly and slowly, like a rusty knife, cutting people's nerves: "Six years ago... Jiang Lin was seriously ill. Li Nanxi promised me that as long as I leave him, he will be saved." .”

Tang Jichi's black eyes shrank violently. Even though he had already guessed the reason, when she said it out of her own mouth, he was overwhelmed by the shock and distressed emotion.

"He can live only if I leave him, do you understand?" It was just a very common reason, and even when she said it, she didn't shed a tear.

But Tang Jichi understands her, her love for Duan You is destined to be deeply entangled and never ending.

Just like her, she was so arrogant that she didn't know how to bow her head.It might not be difficult for her to make such a choice, maybe she wouldn't even blink an eye.But the pain must be unimaginable to ordinary people.

The car was still driving smoothly on the road. The man was silent for a moment, but he asked an irrelevant question: "Yuyou, if you had to choose between losing your life or losing Jiang Lin, what would you do?"

Duan Zijin spread his palms, smiled softly, and said in an unusually calm tone, "What do you think will happen to me?"

Tang Jichi's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Then six years ago, you didn't ask Jiang Lin whether he wanted you or his life. How did you know that his decision was different from yours? Why should you choose for him?"

Duan Zijin's heart seemed to be tightly clenched, and it became difficult to breathe in an instant.

After a while, she began to shake her head and kept shaking her head, "That's different."

"What's the difference?" Tang Jichi pressed on step by step.

Duan Zi paused, "At that time, the choice was in my hands, and I just wanted him to live."

To be alive is to have infinite possibilities.He is still so young, he has a brighter future than everyone else...

She wants him to live.

"However, after you said it like this, I realized that I am so bad." Duan Zijin said to himself, with a sneer in his smile, "Six years ago I made the choice for him selfishly, six years later And selfishly breaking the contract, selfishly wanting to start over with him..."

"Miss Nancy, is that Li Nancy back then?"

"Yes." The man replied in a low voice.

Duan Zijin closed her eyes in despair, "I should have thought of that..."

Tang Jichi raised his eyes, and he could still see the Jiang family's manor through the glass window. They had been driving around the garden for nearly half an hour, "Never expect a villain who takes advantage of others to learn how to compete fairly. Are you coming with me tonight, or staying?"
