Marrying a wealthy family for the second time, being spoiled by a paranoid childhood sweetheart

In order to draw more attention to the incident of her father being framed, and thus promote the investigation of the case and the exposure of the truth, Jiang Ru decided to take a bold move - deliberately claiming tens of millions of yuan from the relevant departments.

Once this shocking figure was released, it instantly caused an uproar in society, and public opinion spread rapidly like a surging wave.

The news spread quickly on the Internet, and netizens were instantly divided into two distinct camps.

Some netizens believe that Jiang Ru's behavior is extortion, which is immoral and even illegal.

They left comments on various social media platforms: "How can they ask for so much money so casually? Isn't this asking for too much? It's obvious that they are trying to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune." "This is blatant extortion and must be punished by law."

Another group of netizens expressed understanding and support for Jiang Ru's behavior.

They believe Jiang Ru's father was wrongfully imprisoned and endured tremendous physical and mental stress, so seeking compensation is a natural consequence. "Who will compensate for the mental torture he endured after being wrongfully imprisoned for so long? Ten million in compensation is not excessive." "The Jiang family suffered such a great injustice, what's wrong with asking for some compensation?"

The two groups of netizens each held their own views and argued fiercely and endlessly on the Internet.

Various comments flooded social media, causing the incident to continue to gain popularity.

At the same time, Jiang Ru's behavior has also attracted the attention of relevant departments.

The relevant leaders decided to have a talk with Jiang Ru, hoping that she could handle the matter in a low-key manner and not escalate the situation further.

In a serious meeting room, Jiang Ru sat opposite the leaders of relevant departments.

The leader's expression was serious, and he said solemnly, "Ms. Jiang Ru, your claim has caused great concern and instability in society. I hope you can keep a low profile and resolve the issue in a more appropriate way."

Jiang Ru straightened her back and responded with a firm gaze, "Leader, my father suffered such unfair treatment, and my family has fallen into great difficulties because of it. I am doing this just to draw attention and let the truth come to light as soon as possible."

The leader frowned and said, "But your approach has already caused adverse effects. We hope you can consider the overall situation and not make things more complicated."

Jiang Ru showed no sign of backing down. She said firmly, "I won't give up. I must seek justice for my father."

The meeting ended in a bad mood.

Soon after, Jiang Ru discovered that the company's projects were beginning to suffer. Projects that had been progressing smoothly were suddenly stuck, and the review process was frequently blocked.

Partners also called to express concerns about the prospects of cooperation.

Jiang Ru was torn between her determination to seek justice for her father and the difficulties her company faced. She sat in her office, rubbing her temples, and pondering her next move.

At this moment, the assistant knocked on the door and came in, handing over a recent report. He said worriedly, "Mr. Jiang, several important projects have been affected by this incident. If we don't find a solution, the company may suffer huge losses."

Jiang Ru took the report, flipped through it quickly, and her face became increasingly gloomy.

She knew she was in a difficult situation, but she was still unwilling to compromise.

Jiang Ru sat alone in front of the office window, looking at the city lights outside, feeling mixed emotions.

She thought of her father's smile and his expectations for her, and secretly vowed to stick to it no matter what the cost.

During the period when Jiang Ru was busy with her father's affairs and the company's projects were frequently blocked, her condition deteriorated and she looked tired and anxious.

All of this was seen by the careful Gu Chen.

One afternoon, Jiang Ru finished a tense meeting and returned to the office with unsteady steps and pale face.

Gu Chen just came to report on his work. When he saw Jiang Ru's appearance, his heart tightened.

"Jiang Ru, you look very abnormal. Did something happen?" Gu Chen asked with concern, his eyes full of worry.

Jiang Ru forced a smile, trying to hide her fatigue, "I'm fine, just a little tired from work recently."

Gu Chen frowned, obviously not believing her answer. "Don't lie to me. I've known you for so long, how can I not see that you're worried? Is it related to the recent situation at the company? Or is there something else going on?"

Jiang Ru sighed softly. She knew that Gu Chen really cared about her, but she didn't want to involve him in this mess. "Gu Chen, it's really nothing. I can handle it myself. Don't worry."

Gu Chen took a step forward and looked Jiang Ru straight in the eyes. "Jiang Ru, we are friends and colleagues. If you encounter any difficulties, why not tell me? Maybe I can help."

Jiang Ru turned her head, avoiding Gu Chen's gaze. "Gu Chen, thank you for your kindness, but this matter is very complicated. I don't want to involve you. I believe I have the ability to handle it. You just need to do your job well."

Gu Chen shook his head helplessly, "Jiang Ru, I know you've always been strong-willed, but sometimes relying on others appropriately is not a sign of weakness."

Jiang Ru was silent for a moment, then raised her head and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Gu Chen, I know you are doing this for my own good, but you really don't have to worry. It's getting late now, so you should go back and rest early."

Gu Chen looked at Jiang Ru's determined expression and knew that further questioning would lead to no results. "Well, take care of yourself. If you need help, feel free to contact me."

Jiang Ru nodded, "Well, don't worry, I will."

After Gu Chen left, Jiang Ru leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and felt extremely tired.

But she knew that she couldn't just fall down like that. She had to cheer up and solve the problem at hand.

In the evening, Jiang Ru returned home with heavy steps. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the flickering candlelight in the house and the aroma of delicious food in the air.

It turned out that Gu Chen had carefully prepared a romantic candlelight dinner to make her happy.

The dining table was decorated with beautiful flowers, and the exquisite tableware was shining warmly under the candlelight.

Gu Chen, wearing a neat apron, greeted her with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Jiang Ru, come here quickly, I have prepared your favorite dish." Gu Chen said gently.

However, Jiang Ru just glanced at it indifferently and showed no interest at all.

She slowly walked to the dining table and sat down, with no trace of joy on her face.

Gu Chen noticed her strangeness and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Jiang Ru shook her head and said weakly, "No, it's just that my mind is in turmoil right now and I don't have the mood to enjoy these things."

Gu Chen gently held her hand and comforted her: "Anyway, eat something first, maybe you will feel better."

But Jiang Ru just mechanically picked up the cutlery and ate without any taste, her eyes wandering, her mind obviously still immersed in the things that were bothering her.

Gu Chen looked at her like this, his heart filled with heartache and helplessness.

Because of her father's matter, Jiang Ru couldn't eat anything at all. She just took a few bites and said lightly: "I'm full, you can take it away, I can't eat anymore."

Gu Chen wanted to persuade Jiang Ru to eat more, but Jiang Ru seemed to have no mood to eat, which left Gu Chen with no choice but to clean up the dishes first.

"Are you really not going to tell me what happened today?" Gu Chen asked again without giving up, hoping that Jiang Ru could communicate with her in time. She also wanted to help Jiang Ru solve the problem.
