Old Mrs. Jiang walked up the stairs nimbly and looked at a group of people gathered outside the door of her precious granddaughter's room. Among them, a Taoist priest with a "prominent" figure was particularly conspicuous.
"I guess you are my granddaughter's master, right?" Although Mrs. Jiang asked a question, her tone was very affirmative. She looked up and down at Taoist Kongkong with sharp eyes and then said:
"Although I, as an old woman, should thank you for helping my granddaughter change her fate, you couldn't have taken my granddaughter away without even saying hello, right?" The old lady was furious when she saw the Taoist priest. When she knew her precious granddaughter was secretly taken away, she didn't eat for a whole month. If she hadn't received the note left by the Taoist priest, she would have turned Ancheng upside down to see who was so reckless as to dare to touch her treasure!
Taoist Kongkong, who was originally pretending to be profound and smiling, waiting for Old Lady Jiang to thank him, was caught off guard by the old lady's words. The smile on his face froze instantly, and he was unable to react for a moment. He looked at Old Lady Jiang in a stupid way, which was actually a bit funny.
"If I didn't think your original intention was good, I would not let it go!" The sudden majesty of Old Lady Jiang made everyone else silent. The old lady has not been in charge of things in recent years. She looks kind, but it does not mean that Old Lady Jiang is an ordinary old lady. Think about when Old Master Jiang died suddenly in an accident, leaving behind a huge group and a son who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. Old Lady Jiang took on everything alone.
Later, Jiang's father turned over a new leaf and gradually took over the family business, and then Mrs. Jiang gradually retreated behind the scenes.
Taoist Kongkong touched his hairless head somewhat awkwardly, his eyes unconsciously looking towards Changliu and Ruomu. Aren't these two disciples usually quite smart? Why are they so tactless today!
Fortunately, Jiang's father went upstairs and pretended not to hear what his mother had just said. He looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Let's go downstairs and sit for a while. Don't disturb Tan'er's rest here."
Old Mrs. Jiang glared at her son, but when she thought about how her precious granddaughter was resting and it was not good to have so many people gathered here, she snorted coldly and turned to go downstairs.
The noise outside the door gradually faded away, leaving only the sound of shallow breathing in the room.
Gu Junchuan sat on the stool, quietly watching Jiang Tan sleeping soundly with even breathing. Ever since he met the woman in front of him, he felt that the world had become mysterious. Perhaps he had always been trapped in a fantasy, but he just didn't know it...
The cell phone placed aside was flashing wildly. Gu Junchuan glanced at Jiang Tan who was sleeping unconscious, picked up the phone, opened Jiang Tan's French window, walked to the balcony outside, and answered the call.
"Mr. Gu, Ms. Nan seemed to be burning something just now. After Ms. Nan left, I found some unburned paper. It looked like a letter." Secretary Wang's voice came from the other end of the phone. He held the paper with only a corner left in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"This paper looks a bit old. There are some faint patterns on it, but most of them have been burned, so it is really impossible to tell what is drawn on it." Secretary Wang frowned and moved closer to take a closer look, but there was nothing he could see from the remaining corner.
"Besides this piece of paper, is there anything else?" Gu Junchuan deliberately lowered his voice. He knew that Jiang Tan would not wake up even if he set off firecrackers next to her ears, but he was still afraid that his voice would disturb her.
Secretary Wang dug through the ashes twice more, shook his head and said, "The remaining things have been burned beyond recognition. Ms. Nan was very cautious and only left after watching the fire burn out." The remaining paper in this corner should be thanked to the sudden gust of wind.
"Take a photo of the paper and send it to me, and continue to monitor that woman!" Gu Junchuan paused, "Speed up the acquisition plan. If necessary, use all the funds that the group can mobilize for the acquisition!"
Clearly sensing the pause of Secretary Wang, he asked uncertainly, "Young President Gu, are you...are you sure? After all, old President Gu..."
"Don't worry about it. We must complete this acquisition by the end of this month at the latest!" Gu Junchuan hung up the phone, leaned on the railing and looked into the distance. The breeze was blowing on his face. In the distance, there were green trees and a vibrant scene. He turned his head and looked through the glass at the girl lying there quietly. It seemed that his life had come alive since he met her.
Does this mean that his life may still have infinite possibilities?
Jiang Tan slept for a whole day and a night. When she was full of sleep, she opened her eyes dazedly, glanced at the dark sky outside, stretched her body, and made a shameful "hmm~" sound.
"Are you awake?" A hoarse and lazy voice suddenly came from her ear, which frightened Jiang Tan so much that she turned her head sharply. A handsome face suddenly appeared in front of her. The soft touch made her eyes widen. She stepped back sharply, and her body was suspended in the air, and she was about to fall off the bed...
"Do you cultivators also have nightmares?"
Jiang Tan's waist was suddenly grabbed by a big hand, and his whole body was pulled back by a force, and his face was buried in a warm embrace.
"Who... who had a nightmare?" Jiang Tan actually stuttered.
A light laugh came from above her head, and a pair of large hands gently patted her head, "Why did you fall to the ground if you didn't have a nightmare?"
Jiang Tan raised her head suddenly, but was pushed back by Gu Junchuan. She could only reply in his arms, "You were the one who didn't sleep in the middle of the night and suddenly spoke in the boudoir of an unmarried girl. I was startled by you!"
Thinking of the unintentional touch just now, Jiang Tan felt his heart beating "bang bang bang".
"It was obviously you who slept for a whole day and night, you heartless person!" The girl in his arms nestled in his arms obediently, which was rare. Gu Junchuan's cold body gradually warmed up.
Jiang Tan raised her head suddenly, and her head hit Gu Junchuan's chin, causing her to scream in pain.
"What? I slept for a whole day and a night? Wasn't it just evening? I should have only slept for a few hours?" Jiang Tan covered his head which was hurt by the collision with his hands in disbelief, staring up at Gu Junchuan who was lying on his side beside him with wide eyes.
Gu Junchuan lowered his head slightly, looked at the girl who was looking at him with a slightly raised mouth, and slowly raised his hand...
Jiang Tan's eyes suddenly went dark, and a warm big hand blocked the little bit of moonlight that came in. She raised her hand inexplicably and tried to pull away the big hand covering her eyes. A warm breath sprayed on her face, and the familiar soft touch on her lips made her eyes widen suddenly...
