Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Love is deep affection

Huo Shaoyan just looked at her, not answering her question.

An Ge also didn’t plan to listen to his answer.

She moved a step away from Huo Shaoyan and turned to leave.

An Ge had just gotten back to the car when she received a call from Jiang Qingyi.

Jiang Qingyi had been confined recently, her voice weak and listless,

"An An, I’m about to die, can you come see me?"

After cracking Jiang Fengmian’s head open for the second time in M Continent, Jiang Qingyi had fled to Jingcheng.

As soon as her plane landed, she was seized by Jiang Fengmian’s people.

For the past few days, she had been confined in a small room.

Today, she managed to knock out a maid who was taking care of her daily needs and got a hold of a phone.

She couldn’t remember anyone else’s number, only An Ge’s.

An Ge asked, "Where are you?"

Jiang Qingyi replied, "I think I’m in Jiang Fengmian’s private residence, Haitang Garden..."

Jiang Qingyi’s voice was intermittent and sounded very off.

An Ge said, "Okay, I’ll come over right away..."

Half an hour later, An Ge arrived at Haitang Garden Villa.

But, she and her car were stopped at the gate by security.

The guard said that without Jiang Fengmian’s permission, even Madam Jiang herself wouldn’t be allowed entry.

An Ge had no choice but to call Jiang Fengmian, who was far away in M Continent recuperating in the hospital,

"Jiang Fengmian, I’m at the gate of Haitang Garden now."

Jiang Fengmian replied,

"Ms. An, you’re really sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong; aren’t your own affairs enough to keep you busy?"

An Ge said, "Young Master Jiang, if you keep dawdling with me, you’ll come back to collect Jiang Qingyi’s corpse."

"What happened to her?"

Jiang Fengmian’s voice turned icy.

An Ge said, "She called me for help, saying she’s about to die and asked me to rescue her... Jiang Fengmian, I too was imprisoned by Huo Shaoyan,

I know better than anyone how desperate one feels in those days completely isolated from the world. Aren’t you worried she might be in trouble?"

Jiang Fengmian was indifferent, "Do you think she would stage a hunger strike or commit suicide?"

"Why not?"

Jiang Fengmian replied, "Of course not. Just missing one meal makes her howl; she couldn’t handle the torment of a hunger strike. As for cutting herself, that’s too painful for her."

An Ge said sarcastically, "Young Master Jiang, are you sure?"

Jiang Fengmian hesitated.

An Ge continued, "If I go in and see her, and if you’re not okay with that, I can’t take her away anyway. If I don’t go in and something happens to her, you’ll regret it."

Jiang Fengmian hung up the call on her.

Right after that, the guard obstructing An Ge received his call.

Following his instructions, the guard opened the gate for An Ge.

Five minutes later, An Ge entered the small dark room where Jiang Qingyi was held.

Jiang Fengmian was harsh with her; the room was more a cellar than a small dark room.

It was a tightly sealed cellar with only a single bed and basic facilities.

An Ge found Jiang Qingyi passed out on the floor in the washroom; she had no external injuries, but her face was extremely pale, looking extraordinarily haggard.

An Ge performed a simple check; her breathing and heartbeat were fine, nothing life-threatening.

An Ge confirmed that Jiang Qingyi had fainted from hunger.

Oh, to be precise, she might have been fasting?

Of course, she would need Jiang Qingyi to wake to be certain.

An Ge had Jiang Qingyi carried out of the small dark room and then called Jiang Fengmian.

Evidently, Jiang Fengmian was waiting for her call.

He answered immediately.

An Ge straightforwardly said, "She fainted."

Jiang Fengmian’s voice turned deep, "Fainted?"

An Ge sneered, "You stuck her in a pitch-dark cellar; a perfectly healthy person could be tortured to death by you."

Jiang Fengmian raised his voice, "Cellar?"

From the tone, it seemed Jiang Fengmian was completely unaware.

An Ge’s eyebrows furrowed, "You didn’t know? Didn’t you have her locked in the wine cellar for storage?

At this time, although the temperature isn’t as hot as summer, any open flames could easily cause the wine cellar to explode. Do you want her dead?"

Jiang Fengmian quickly answered her question:

"I only instructed the person watching her to keep her in her room, confiscate her communication devices, and didn’t tell anyone to abuse her."

An Ge recalled something, "The person watching her? Who?"

Jiang Fengmian is the adopted son of the Jiang Family.

He originally had the surname Qin.

He came into the Jiang Family very young as a counter-balancing child.

What does that mean?

The Jiang Family parents had three children who died young consecutively; Madam Jiang heard from a Taoist that they needed a child with strong fate as an adopted son to ward off evil spirits, so the Jiang Family could once again have descendants.

Thus, through various channels, the Jiang Family parents brought Jiang Fengmian, who was most suitable for adoption, from the orphanage.

Not long ago, with unstinting efforts, Jiang Fengmian found his original family.

The one responsible for watching Jiang Qingyi was Jiang Fengmian’s aunt.

This aunt always wanted to match her niece with Jiang Fengmian for marriage, long unhappy with Jiang Qingyi, whom she saw as a heaven-sent obstacle.

She certainly wouldn’t pass up the chance to teach Jiang Qingyi a lesson.

That’s how this scene came to be.

Jiang Fengmian also realized this layer, he said:

"It’s my aunt." He paused, "She doesn’t really like Jiang Qingyi."

An Ge glanced at the cellar and looked at the spoiled rice on the makeshift dining table, and said:

"I think she more than just dislikes her, right? She obviously wants to mistreat Jiang Qingyi."

Jiang Fengmian: "Stop talking nonsense, go check on her quickly."

An Ge hung up the phone on him.

The villa has a family doctor.

Under An Ge’s instructions, the family doctor administered a nutrient solution to Jiang Qingyi.

The family doctor said to An Ge: "Ms. Jiang, it’s due to malnutrition that caused the coma."

An Ge nodded to him: "Thank you, you can go down now."

After the family doctor retreated, An Ge had the bodyguards bring Jiang Fengmian’s aunt over.

The aunt, relying on being Jiang Fengmian’s elder, didn’t take An Ge seriously at all.

She had a terrible attitude towards An Ge:

"Who are you, another enchantress? I’m telling you, I’ve seen plenty of snake-like beauties like you, don’t think you can seduce my nephew..."

An Ge interrupted her: "Qin Mei Er, do you know that you are suspected of intentional injury?"

Just one sentence, Qin Mei Er’s voice weakened, "You... you don’t slander me, who did I hurt?"

An Ge coldly interrupted her again: "You abused Jiang Qingyi, Ms. Jiang. You relied on being Jiang Fengmian’s aunt, deliberately mistreated Jiang Qingyi, only giving her a little water every day and using mice, insects, and snakes to scare her..."

Qin Mei Er looked at An Ge in astonishment.

She was sure she had been very secretive; how did An Ge know?

An Ge: "Haitang Garden is full of surveillance; do you think you can escape? Or do you think Jiang Fengmian really won’t pursue this?"

Qin Mei Er said: "I just couldn’t stand how Ms. Jiang acted so imperiously towards others. I wanted to set some rules, but I didn’t really want to harm her?"

An Ge said coldly: "Who are you to her? Even if she acted wrongly, it’s not your place to set rules."

She paused, "Besides, this is her home, her territory, what right do you have?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Mei Er arrogantly said:

"Jiang Fengmian is my biological nephew, Haitang Garden is his property, what problem is there with disciplining a misbehaving junior on his turf?"

An Ge coldly looked at her:

"What problem? Haitang Garden may have been bought by Jiang Fengmian, but the name on the property deed is Ms. Jiang’s. Are you going to leave yourself, or wait for her to wake up and drive you out?"

Qin Mei Er couldn’t just leave like that, she said:

"Unless my elder nephew personally tells me to leave, otherwise, I would rather die here."

Qin Mei Er was very bold.

An Ge said: "Then I’m sorry."

Qin Mei Er frowned: "What are you going to do?"

An Ge called the police right in front of her.

Soon, the police took Qin Mei Er away on charges of intentional injury.

Before being taken away by the police, Qin Mei Er tearfully called Jiang Fengmian, who was far away in M continent, to complain.

On one hand, there was his own family, on the other, was his own woman, Jiang Fengmian naturally couldn’t stay calm.

After the call from Qin Mei Er, he called An Ge,

"An Ge, are you out of your mind? Do you have to make this a big issue?"

An Ge said: "Young Master Jiang, your wife was almost killed by someone, and I’m seeking justice for her, do you think I’m out of my mind?"

Jiang Fengmian: "I didn’t say you shouldn’t seek justice for her, but wasn’t calling the police a bit too much?"

An Ge said coldly: "Whether it was too much or not, Ms. Jiang can judge for herself."

After speaking, she hung up Jiang Fengmian’s call.

With problems arising at home, Jiang Fengmian had no interest in staying in M continent.

He arranged a private plane to return to the country directly.

Before boarding, he received a call from Huo Shaoyan.

Huo Shaoyan was very dissatisfied with his sudden return:

"I’ve rarely asked you for a favor, and you didn’t complete it, yet you have the face to come back?"

Huo Shaoyan had asked Jiang Fengmian to investigate Mo Yuan giving birth in M continent and whether umbilical cord blood was left from that time.

Huo Shaoyan hoped to find the child’s umbilical cord blood to prove there was no medical father-son relationship with Mo Rugu.

But now, Jiang Fengmian wanted to return to the country, which made Huo Shaoyan very displeased.

Jiang Fengmian’s temper was worse than his:

"Isn’t it because of your woman causing trouble? She called the police and had my aunt arrested; how could I stay in M continent?"

He paused, "I’ve already left someone in M continent to investigate."

Huo Shaoyan: "Your aunt was arrested, what’s that got to do with An Ge?"

Jiang Fengmian was furious: "Ask your woman."

When Huo Shaoyan found An Ge, it was already evening.

At that time, Jiang Qingyi, who had just finished her nutrient infusion, was just waking up.

Jiang Qingyi was so thin she was almost unrecognizable; when she saw An Ge, tears started streaming down, "An An, can you take me away?"

An Ge remembered how the proud Ms. Jiang had fallen to this state, and couldn’t help but feel a bit sad.

She thought for a moment, then said: "Okay."

Jiang Qingyi didn’t expect An Ge to agree so readily, "You really are willing to take me away? Aren’t you afraid of offending Jiang Fengmian?"

An Ge said: "If you don’t want to stay here, I’ll take you away."

Jiang Qingyi cried tears of gratitude, she felt An Ge was like her sister, "An An, you’ve been too kind to me; I will definitely repay you in the future...sob sob..."

An Ge comforted her: "Go take a shower and change into clean clothes first. After dinner, I’ll take you away."

Jiang Qingyi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I’ll go shower now..."

An Ge said to her: "I’ll wait for you downstairs."

When An Ge came downstairs, she saw Huo Shaoyan entering from the outside, bathed in sunlight.
