Chapter 416: 416: Prenatal check-up in progress, marriage pressure in progress, committing suicide in progress (second update)

Zhou Xufang was in a terrible mood and felt like hitting someone, “Jiang Xiaolin hired me to destroy the photos.” She really wanted to punch someone, “I’m taking this job.”

Jiang Zhi looked at her still flat belly, “Do you really have to go?” There was still a baby inside, how could she run around recklessly.

Zhou Xufang was adamant, “I’m going. Tang Xiang is my friend.” When a friend was in trouble, she would go through fire and water for them!

Fine, he couldn’t stop this expectant mother, so he had just one request, “Take me with you.”

Was she going to bring the whole family along?

Zhou Xufang refused, “No.”

Jiang Zhi insisted, “I’m worried about you.”

Zhou Xufang blurted out, “You’ll slow me down.”

Jiang Zhi, “…”

He felt rejected.

He held onto Zhou Xufang’s hand and bit it, “I won’t slow you down, take me with you!” He was behaving as if he would be obstinate if she didn’t take him.

Zhou Xufang didn’t really want to bring him, afraid that Jiang Zhi might get hurt, but if she didn’t take him, he seemed like he would throw a tantrum, so she reluctantly agreed, “Then you’ll have to cover for me.”

Jiang Zhi, who didn’t want to just keep watch but could only do so for his girlfriend, said, “Go to sleep early, we have a prenatal checkup tomorrow.”

Zhou Xufang got out of the hanging chair, “Should we switch hospitals?” They had already fallen out with the Jiang Family.

“No need, the Fifth Hospital doesn’t belong to the Jiang Family anymore.”

After Qin Shiyu disappeared, Jiang Zhi called the shots at the Fifth Hospital.

The next morning, the Jiang Family called an emergency board of directors meeting, and Jiang Fuli, holding twenty percent of the shares, became the third-largest shareholder in the Jiang Family company.

It wasn’t until after the board meeting that Xu Jiuru learned of this news. She summoned Jiang Xiaolin over and exploded in anger.

“Foolish!” Her face turned green with rage, “How could you transfer shares to Fuli at this critical moment?”

The more the Jiang Family’s shares were dispersed, the easier it would be for the Lu Family to take control.

Jiang Xiaolin’s face showed no emotion, “It’s already done.”

“I think you’ve gone mad.” Xu Jiuru spoke harshly and commanded without room for argument, “Go get them back, I don’t care how you do it.”

He just stood there, motionless, “This is my business, please don’t interfere.”

His attitude was dismissive as if he couldn’t be bothered to deal with it.

Xu Jiuru, feeling a surge of anger and struggling to catch her breath, admonished him, “This isn’t just about you. You only have so few shares left in your hands, how will you regain operational control, how will you fight the Lu Family!”

If Jiang Zhi stopped fighting the Lu Family, then it would be his turn.

Jiang Xiaolin said with amusement, “Did I ever say I wanted to fight the Lu Family?”

Xu Jiuru was shocked, “What did you say?”

“Grandma,” his gaze was as cold as ice, his aura imposing and aggressive, “It’s time for you to let go.”

“Xiaolin!” Jiang Weikai scolded, “Enough, stop talking.”

He stepped forward, trying to drag him away.

Xu Jiuru propped herself up from the hospital bed, “Let him speak.” The zig-zagging lines on the heart monitor rose and fell, she pounded the bed, screaming with all her might, “If you have any grievances, any hatred, direct them at me!”

Jiang Chuan became anxious, “Old Madam.”

Xu Jiuru pushed him away, her emotions finally breaking down, “Don’t think I don’t know.” She pointed at the father and son, “Each and every one of you, you can’t wait for me to die soon enough!”

“Old Madam.” Jiang Chuan’s eyes turned red, hesitating to approach.

She lay down, looking at the ceiling, and suddenly burst into laughter, “Hahaha… It’s over, the Jiang Family is finished, such sin.” Her hair was completely white, wrinkles crept across her face from her brows, she covered her face, crying in pain, “It’s all my fault, all my fault…”

Jiang Chuan went to call the doctor over.

Jiang Weikai took Jiang Xiaolin outside and asked him, “What’s going on? Why did you give the shares to Fuli?”

“She kidnapped Tang Xiang.”

See, a crooked stick makes a crooked shadow.

Jiang Weikai became angry, “That damned thing!”

Every grandchild of the Jiang Family, from an early age, had been influenced by the old lady to some extent, each more ruthless and cunning in their ways than the last.

“Is the person alright?”

“She’s fine.”

This whole family of the Jiangs, none of them really resembling a family, Jiang Weikai had a headache, “What’s your plan for Fuli?”

Jiang Xiaolin replied concisely, with four words, “An eye for an eye.”

He didn’t have much feeling for the Jiang Family; he never had from a young age.

Jiang Weikai was silent for a long while, then patted his shoulder, “Xiaolin, don’t be like your grandma, remember, whatever you do, you must have a bottom line.”

One can be ruthless, but there must be things one would do and things one would not.

After a long time, Jiang Xiaolin responded, “Hmm.”

Jiang Weikai trusted his own son and didn’t interfere too much, but asked an off-topic question, “Are things going smoothly with Tang Xiang?”

His expression changed in an instant, his lips curled up slightly, and his entire face softened, “We’re in a relationship.”

Such a hard-hearted person had found someone who softened his heart. Jiang Weikai felt relieved, “When are you getting married?”

“I don’t know; it depends on what Tang Xiang thinks.” This matter wasn’t up to him.

Jiang Weikai was quite curious about how the girl Tang Xiang managed it; anyway, he couldn’t control this son, he never could since he was little, but it was good that someone would in the future.

“You’re not getting any younger, hurry up.”

“Hmm.”

At ten o’clock in the morning, members of the Lu Family also came to the hospital, accompanying Zhou Xufang for her prenatal checkup and also having Lin Qiunan undergo a physical examination, for she was getting older and had been frequently experiencing palpitations and headaches.

After taking a phone call, Lin Qiunan returned only to find Zhou Xufang missing. She asked her daughter-in-law, “Where’s Xu Fang?”

Yao Bixi said, “She’s having an ultrasound. Jiang Zhi is in there with her.”

“You go buy some food; Xu Fang didn’t eat much this morning.”

“Okay.” Yao Bixi supported Lin Qiunan as they went to the waiting area to sit down, “Jiang Zhi has notified the vice president here; a nurse will come to take you for your checkup soon.”

Lin Qiunan urged her to hurry.

Yao Bixi gave a few more instructions before leaving.

Lin Qiunan sat opposite the staircase entrance, looked up, and saw Xu Jiuru walk past the stairs. She got up and followed.

Xu Jiuru went to the rooftop, on the fourteenth floor, staggering to the edge and looking down.

“Are you planning to commit suicide?”
