Three big shots are proposing to me at the same time? Are you crazy?
Chapter 55: As if prepared for her
"Huanhuan, Grandpa An has already prepared what you wanted. I will bring it to you tomorrow."
"Thank you." Jiang Huan's eyes were full of gratitude when she heard Qian Rui's words.
Qian Rui chuckled on the other end of the phone, "There's no need for thanks between us! By the way, there's a charity gala tomorrow night. I heard that business people from Nancheng have been invited. Are you interested? There are pharmaceutical companies among them. Why don't we go and find out some information?"
"Okay, I've got it. I'll have Ling Siye take me there tomorrow when my grandfather wakes up."
"Oh? Hehehe..." Qian Rui suddenly smiled mysteriously.
Jiang Huan was embarrassed. "What are you laughing at?"
"Are you with that young master Ling?" Qian Rui asked in a gossipy tone.
Jiang Huan coughed lightly, "Nothing of the sort! Okay, I'm going to get busy now, see you later!"
After saying that, she quickly hung up the phone.
But Qian Rui's question, which sounded like a half-smile, was still echoing in her ears.
She has absolutely no interest in Ling Siyue.
Although Ling Siye has a good figure, a handsome face, is rich and devoted, and is cold to outsiders but warm to her, she is only in a contractual relationship with him. Also, he can help her deceive her grandfather and outsiders, which is why she allows him to stay with her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't need him at all!
Having thought it through, Jiang Huan suddenly understood and happily began cultivating the "Blazing Lotus".
This "Blazing Lotus" has nine levels. With each level cultivated, the attack range increases. When you reach the ninth level, there will be no distance limit. At that time, you can use your divine sense to determine where a person is and then use the Blazing Lotus to attack from a distance.
From this perspective, this technique is quite heaven-defying and abnormal; those who are unaware of its existence would probably not know it exists.
But did the stall owner really not know if the technique was genuine or not? He just set up a stall and started selling it like that…
While cultivating the first level, Jiang Huan, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his face pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Depend on!"
Jiang Huan wiped her mouth and carefully examined the technique, only to discover that it was fake.
What a mistake!
However, the visible techniques were indeed problematic, but the real techniques were hidden in the scroll, and as she unlocked it, the techniques appeared before her eyes, and she could practice them.
It seems that the founder of "Blazing Lotus" was very cautious, worried that this heaven-defying technique would be taken by bad people to cultivate, so he set up this layer of restriction.
But for some reason, she always felt as if this was prepared just for her.
Easy to obtain, easy to unlock the seal...
Never mind, I'll just practice.
Jiang Huan is a very easygoing person. She never lets herself live a life of sensitivity and suspicion. She always tries things out before she knows the outcome.
It must be said that after practicing this, the discomfort caused by the fake technique disappeared in an instant.
I stayed in my room for a whole day and night.
The next morning, Jiang Huan opened her eyes, her eyes slightly red, but she quickly concealed it.
She raised her hand, looked at the crimson flames dancing at her fingertips, squinted slightly, and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.
"Fifth Miss?"
Upon hearing the knock, Jiang Huan composed herself, put away her cultivation manual and other belongings, and got up to open the door.
It was Butler Wang knocking on the door.
"Fifth Miss, you haven't eaten for a whole day and night, you..."
"Has my grandfather woken up?" Jiang Huan interrupted.
"The old man just woke up, but he doesn't know that you haven't eaten anything."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan knew that Butler Wang must be covering it up for her. "Thank you, Uncle Wang."
"No, no need for that, it's all I should do," Butler Wang said with a smile. "Is Fifth Miss hungry? Would you like the food brought up, or..."
"I'll go see Grandpa first, then we'll eat at a restaurant."
"Yes."
"By the way, where's Ling Siye?"
"Young Master Ling left early this morning and has not yet returned."
"I understand." Jiang Huan nodded and walked out of the room.
If Ling Siye doesn't come back tonight, she'll have no choice but to ask Qian Rui to take her away from the Jiang family and to the charity gala.
However, she was unaware that she had been exposed in front of Elder Jiang.
At this moment, Old Jiang, who was alone in the room, was holding a tablet in his hand, his brows furrowed, and his expression was unusual.
The tablet was playing yesterday's surveillance footage, and Jiang Huan's voice came from it, each word clear and distinct.
No one else knew that he had installed listening devices and surveillance cameras in his room.
The reason for doing this was that since the mastermind was able to hack into and modify the Jiang family's surveillance system, he must have powerful methods. However, he would never have imagined that the mastermind would install such a system in his own room, so he definitely wouldn't have been able to modify it.
He had felt that Huanhuan was acting strangely before, and now that he saw it, his guess was confirmed.
Huanhuan has actually recovered!
But why didn't Huanhuan tell him?
Who knows that she has recovered?
"Miss Fifth."
Upon hearing the noise outside the door, Old Jiang quickly turned off the tablet, hid it under his pillow, and then picked up a book from the side to read.
"I want to find my grandfather."
Old Jiang cleared his throat. "Huanhuan, come in!"
Since Huanhuan didn't tell him the truth about her recovery, it's possible that she has some plans.
This girl has been smart since she was a child. After recovering, she found that her once happy home was in such a broken state. She must have made many plans while suppressing her grief.
He truly felt sorry for her; this wasn't a burden she should be carrying...
"Grandpa, Grandpa!" Jiang Huan ran in happily, jumped onto the bed, and rubbed her head against Grandpa Jiang through the blanket. "Grandpa, you're awake!"
"Yes, Grandpa has woken up." Old Jiang put down his book, suppressed the sadness in his eyes, looked at her with kind eyes, and reached out to touch her head. "Huanhuan, did you just wake up?"
“Yes!” Jiang Huan looked up and smiled.
But she didn't know that the dark circles under her eyes had already betrayed her.
She hadn't slept all night. When she was cultivating, she mobilized all her internal energy and couldn't feel sleepy or hungry, but her face would show signs of fatigue.
Seeing this, Old Master Jiang simply smiled and asked, "Did Huanhuan sleep well?"
"Okay." Jiang Huan nodded.
"That's good."
The grandfather and granddaughter chatted for a while before a servant came to announce that Qianrui had arrived.
Jiang Huan was thinking about the things she had asked Grandpa An to find for her, so she got up, turned around, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I'm going to go play with Sister Qianrui!"
"Go ahead!" Old Jiang nodded, watching her happily walk out of the room.
After she left, the smile on his face gradually faded, and a serious expression appeared on his face. He looked at Butler Wang, who was standing to the side waiting.
"Wang Tong, I'm much better now. Help me to the garden to get some sun."
"Sir, Doctor Mu said you need to rest in bed even more."
"Is that so?" Old Jiang's smile was enigmatic.
Without giving it much thought, Butler Wang nodded, "Yes."
Old Jiang's smile vanished, his gaze fixed intently: "So I've become this weak, so weak that I'm bedridden, so weak that... you dare to hide things from me?"
