Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

Chapter 489 Peng Jiahe Learns the Truth

Li Jialuo nodded and said, "Understood!"

Li Jialuo wasn't stupid. When Jiang Lai asked her to give the fake jade carving to Guan Juer, Li Jialuo knew that Jiang Lai was trying to divert attention.

Li Jialuo hesitated at the time. If someone really gave orders while holding a fake jade carving, would they listen or not?

But after hearing Yang Chu's answer today, Li Jialuo understood what Yang Chu meant. He simply wanted Li Jialuo and the others to manage the jade carvings properly and to be aware of who might bring them jade carvings in the near future.

After Li Jialuo put the jade carving away, Jiang Lai looked at Guan Juer and said, "Thank you for your help this time!"

Guan Juer quickly shook her head and said, "It's no trouble at all, as long as it can help you and Brother Yang."

Jiang Lai smiled and said, "I'm not just being polite. I really have troubled you this time. It was my oversight that almost put you in danger. I apologize to you here."

Although Guan Juer didn't understand what Jiang Lai meant, she quickly shook her head and waved her hands, saying, "Sister Jiang Lai, there's no need for that. I didn't encounter any danger, so there's no need to apologize."

Jiang Lai knew that Guan Juer was unaware of the dangers involved, so she smiled and told Guan Juer about the fake jade carving.

After Jiang Lai finished explaining, Peng Jiahe and Guan Juer both understood that what Jiang Lai had done was indeed somewhat unethical.

Jiang Lai smiled and looked at Peng Jiahe, saying, "Don't blame me for not trusting you. You know your own abilities. If I hand over the real jade carving to you, are you sure you can stir up trouble? Can you shoulder this responsibility?"

Peng Jiahe nodded somewhat dejectedly and said, "I understand! I will try my best."

"As long as you know!"

Then Jiang Lai looked at Guan Juer and said, "If you blame me, I won't complain. I did have the intention to use you. Yang Chu's actions this time were very dangerous, so there were some things I had to do. Even if you blame me, I will accept it."

Although Guan Juer was dissatisfied with Jiang Lai's actions, she could understand why Jiang Lai did it.

"Forget it, it's all in the past, and besides, I didn't encounter any danger."

Jiang Lai nodded and said, "Okay, since you don't blame me, let's just let it go. Consider it a personal favor I owe you, and you can ask me for it anytime."

"No need! Actually, I didn't help much, nor did I encounter any danger. Besides, I really don't want anything to happen to Brother Yang. If you encounter something like this again, you can entrust it to me."

Jiang Lai was surprised that Guan Juer would say such a thing, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything more.

"We'll talk about the future later. If anyone asks you about the jade carving, just tell them the truth."

"Won't this affect you?"

"will not!"

"That's good! If there's nothing else, may I see Brother Yang?"

Jiang Lai thought for a moment, then turned to look at Li Jialuo.

Li Jialuo knew what Jiang Lai meant, and turned to go into the ward.

After a while, Li Jialuo drew back the curtains.

Jiang Lai looked at Guan Juer and Peng Jiahe and said, "I hope you can understand. You should stay outside and take a look."

Peng Jiahe frowned slightly upon hearing Jiang Lai's words, but after glancing at Guan Juer, he didn't say anything more and moved closer to the glass window.

When Peng Jiahe saw Yang Chu's appearance, he almost cried out.

However, remembering Jiang Lai's previous instructions, and not knowing the specifics of the situation, she had no choice but to suppress the sound of her tears.

Guan Juer's eyes reddened when she saw Yang Chu's appearance. She glared fiercely at Jiang Lai and said, "Can you tell me who the other person is?"

Jiang Lai, fearing that Guan Juer might act recklessly, quickly said, "You don't need to do this. The other party was driven to desperation by your brother Yang, which is why they did this. They're like grasshoppers in autumn, they won't be able to jump around for many more days. You should just focus on going to work. If something happens to you, Yang Chu will be in great pain when he wakes up. Even if you don't care about Yang Chu, you should still think about your parents."

When Guan Juer heard Jiang Lai mention Yang Chu and his parents, the Guan Juer who was about to turn evil turned back into the obedient girl.

Guan Juer's imposing aura weakened, and with red eyes and tears streaming down her face, she nodded and said, "I understand. I will work hard and not let my parents worry."

After saying that, Guan Juer wiped away her tears and left the hospital.

After Guan Juer left, Jiang Lai breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was terrified! I was really afraid that this silly girl would grab a razor blade and start fighting with someone."

After muttering to herself, Jiang Lai took Peng Jiahe's hand and said, "Let's go inside and chat with your Brother Yang. Don't be sad here."

Before Peng Jiahe could react to what Jiang Lai meant, Jiang Lai pulled him into the ward.

After Li Jialuo drew the curtains, Yang Chu opened his eyes, sat up, and looked at Peng Jiahe, saying, "I never expected that the carefree Peng Jiahe would worry about me! This is truly a great honor for me!"

Peng Jiahe was stunned to see that Yang Chu was completely unharmed.

Are you alright?

Yang Chu, sitting cross-legged, said helplessly, "Of course I'm fine!"

"Then why did you pretend to be seriously injured and unconscious?"

"I had no choice! Too many people are watching me, and if I don't pretend to be seriously injured and unconscious, some things won't be easy to do. So I'll use last night's assassination attempt as an excuse to turn the tables!"

Peng Jiahe nodded knowingly, but still angrily slapped Yang Chu and said, "I'll teach you to lie to me! I'll teach you to lie to me! Give me back my tears!"

Seeing Peng Jiahe's alternating crying and laughing, Yang Chu had no choice but to cooperate and let Peng Jiahe hit him a few times.

After Peng Jiahe had finished beating him, she threw herself into Yang Chu's arms and burst into tears.

"Don't cry, don't cry! It was Brother Yang's fault."

While crying, Peng Jiahe patted Yang Chu and said, "Do you know how worried I've been about you all this time? Do you know how stunned I was when I saw the jade carving Guan Juer sent? Do you know that...!"

As Yang Chu listened to Peng Jiahe patting the ground while recounting his story, he knew how worried Peng Jiahe was about them.

However, Yang Chu had no choice. There were some things that Peng Jiahe was too young to be involved in.

After Peng Jiahe cried until she was exhausted and had vented her emotions, she fell asleep.

Yang Chu had no choice but to give up his hospital bed to Peng Jiahe so that Peng Jiahe could rest there.

Jiang Lai wiped away her tears and looked at Yang Chu, saying, "Jiahe has been under a lot of pressure lately, and it's really been too much of a burden on her."

"There's nothing we can do about it, she's still so young! I believe she'll mature more after this experience, and I hope she grows up quickly so she can help you with some of the burden."
