Reborn 1980 Married to the toughest guy in the army

She never expected that these people would fall from the sky.

Some of them looked like they had fallen directly from the ceiling, while others seemed to have come out of the cabinet next to them. She originally thought there was no one else inside.

I didn't expect there to be so many people watching.

Jiang Wan thought carefully about whether she had done anything out of line just now.

It seems not, so I calmed down again.

A moment later, Shen Du walked in from outside, and Jiang Wan pointed at the person and said:

"He seemed to be there to steal something. I've never seen him before. He said he was a service worker."

Shen Du glanced at the man sideways and waved his hand.

Someone came forward and took him away.

But before leaving, that person gave Jiang Wan a deep look, without saying anything.

Jiang Wan stood there silently, her lips pursed. Shen Du asked:

What are you doing here?

Jiang Wan said, "Didn't you give me the key and say I could read any of the books here?"

"I just came in and browsed around, trying to find some good novels."

"But I found a vernacular version of Dream of the Red Chamber, but why aren't the books here numbered?"

Shen Du asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by not following the numbers?"

Jiang Wan said, "The first volume of Dream of the Red Chamber is here, the third volume is here, and where is the second one?"

"I've finished reading the first book, but I can't find the second one. I've turned your office upside down, but I still can't find the second one. Did you eat the second one?"

Fortunately, the second volume of Dream of the Red Chamber was indeed not in this office; Jiang Wan had already figured it out long ago.

That's because she had already taken the second part of Dream of the Red Chamber.

Seeing so many people suddenly appear, Jiang Wan had already found an excuse for her behavior.

Moreover, the excuse must be plausible.

Only by mixing truth and falsehood can Shen Du find no problem.

Shen Du paused for a moment upon hearing this, then came over to help her look, and indeed there was no Dream of the Red Chamber II.

So he said, "Someone probably borrowed it. You should look at the third one first."

Jiang Wan pouted.

He muttered to himself as he left, clutching the third volume of Dream of the Red Chamber.

After she left, Shen Du also kicked the others out.

Alone in the office, not knowing what to do.

When Jiang Wan returned to her residence and looked at Qiao Liancheng, her face was filled with a complicated expression.

Qiao Liancheng looked at her suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Jiang Wan shook her head and said, "I think I saw a ninja."

Qiao Liancheng was surprised by Jiang Wan's words, so Jiang Wan told him what had happened in the office earlier.

When she talked about how so many people suddenly appeared from all directions, even though there was nothing in front of them.

But then it suddenly appeared.

Qiao Liancheng said, "They might indeed be ninjas. Actually, ninjas aren't as scary as they say. I've studied them before, and they're just good at disguising themselves, like chameleons."

"They are also very good at concealing their presence, so they are not easily detected."

He paused for a moment and then said, "Next time I'll go with you, so I can sense whether anyone is around."

Jiang Wan shook her head, indicating that she wouldn't be going there anytime soon.

Now let's turn our attention to Hong Kong.

The eldest son of the shipping magnate has recently become quite diligent.

Normally, this young master would often indulge in debauchery and not care much about family affairs.

Even if he were to intervene, it would be because his father forced him to.

The main problem is that he's quite lazy, and he doesn't have a good relationship with his wife. They hardly ever see each other, and when they do, they argue.

But in the last few days, the young master has neither cursed nor argued with his wife.

On the contrary, the eldest son often went to various occasions with the shipping magnate and worked hard in business.

Things seemed to have improved all of a sudden, which made the shipping magnate even more gratified.

They even felt that they had a successor.

Haijing had worked hard all day and had just returned from securing a new order.

As he entered, Qiao Ya came over, took the things from his hands, and whispered:

"How was your day?"

Hai Jian nodded.

He lowered his voice and said, "You know what, after following the shipping magnate for a while, I learned a lot from him. That old man is indeed a cunning and ruthless fellow, especially when it comes to business negotiations, he's incredibly ruthless."

Qiao Ya, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but chuckle and whispered with a hint of schadenfreude, "Lian Yue is back."

Lian Yue was the eldest young master's first wife.

However, their marriage was a business arrangement, and they didn't have much affection for each other. After getting married, they couldn't stand each other and each went their own way.

Divorce should not be easily granted unless it is an arranged marriage within a family.

Lian Yue had already divorced him long ago.

The truth is, she had wanted a divorce for months, but the young master refused to let her go.

In the young master's eyes, since Lian Yue had married him, she was his woman.

Even if they die, they'll be ghosts of their family.

He may not love, but he cannot betray Lian Yue.

If he gets divorced, his father will look down on him, and he won't be able to face anyone in Hong Kong anymore.

At that time, wealthy people in Hong Kong would still take concubines. Even the shipping magnate had 18 concubines, not to mention the other big shots.

Every prominent figure in Hong Kong has a concubine.

Having two or three bedrooms is a breeze.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal to find a concubine and play around with other women at this time. It is shameful to divorce someone because you can't control your wife.

That's what makes people look down on you.

I went back to my parents' home a few days ago, and I was forced to come back today.

She needs a sea view to accompany her to a banquet tomorrow.

When Qiao Ya mentioned Lian Yue, Hai Jing got a headache.

He whispered, "What should we do?"

"How can I avoid being discovered by her without having to touch her?"

Qiao Ya was also very worried. They had been forced into this situation. If they didn't do this, the shipping magnate would not let them off the hook, nor would he let the Qiao family off the hook.

Ultimately, they were just trying to protect themselves.

But killing the young master is also a fact. Now how should we face Lian Yue?

After hesitating for a moment, Hai Jing said, "Since you said that Lian Yue and the young master don't get along very well, why don't we get straight to the point and talk to her to see if we can cooperate?"

Qiao Ya glanced at him and said, "It's best not to. Lian Yue is a very patient person, otherwise she wouldn't have been married to the young master for so long and still been doing her own thing."

"The interests involved in business alliances are complex and intertwined. What we are doing is actually destroying their foundation. Once the shipping magnate changes hands, it will alter their future course of action."

"It also has a significant impact on the Lian family."

Hai Jing was even more troubled. Qiao Ya said, "Don't worry, Lian Yue probably won't ask to share a room with you. Your marriage is just a marriage of convenience. So just speak to him in a calm tone and show a little impatience in your eyes and brows."

Qiao Ya gave him some ideas, and he wrote them all down.

At this moment, a servant came over to remind him, "Master wants the eldest young master to take the seventh young mistress down for dinner."

Joa nodded in agreement.

Actually, she's now considered the eldest young master's concubine, so calling her the seventh young master's wife is just self-deception!
