Chapter 188: Fighting for Jiang Lu
Jiang Man took out his cell phone and called Su's father.
"Dad, please come and pick up Xiaolu."
"What's going on?" Father Jiang was a little surprised when he received the call.
"Don't ask any more questions, just take the person back."
"Manman...Did Xiaolu do something wrong? Hey, you're the older sister, you should..."
Jiang Man took a deep breath and interrupted her father, "If you still recognize me as your daughter, don't make excuses for her."
Father Jiang was obviously frightened by Jiang Man's attitude. He was silent for a second or two and then said, "Well, I'll pick her up tomorrow."
Jiang Man hung up the phone, looked at Jiang Lu and said, "Dad will pick you up tomorrow."
Seeing Jiang Man's resolute attitude, Jiang Lu's eyes flashed with resentment. She wiped her face and raised her head: "Why should I listen to you?"
Jiang Man frowned: "Why? Because I'm your sister."
"Sister?" Jiang Lu sneered, "You're just my cousin, you're being too controlling. It's my freedom to be with whoever I want."
"I don't want you to go astray." Jiang Man advised earnestly.
"Wrong path? Haha." Jiang Lu sneered again, her eyes red, "You don't need to meddle in other people's business!"
"Am I meddling in other people's business? Xiaolu, how could you be like this?" Jiang Man was heartbroken as he watched the hysterical Jiang Lu. She said, "I know you took the diamond. Because I trusted you, I still put the diamond where it was. I didn't want to treat my only sister as a thief! But what about you? What did you do?"
At the mention of diamonds, Jiang Lu's eyes flickered involuntarily, and a subtle panic rose in her heart. She deliberately raised her voice, trying to use her momentum to cover up her guilty conscience: "Hmph, even if it's true, so what? It's all because of your naiveté. How can you blame me for this?"
"Yes, she is very stupid. She is so stupid that she would believe in someone like you again and again." A magnetic voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two sisters.
Su Heng stood at the door with a serious expression. He looked at Jiang Man and said, "Since she admitted to stealing something, she should be responsible for her actions."
Jiang Lu was stunned. Since the moment Su Heng came in, she didn't dare to say a word.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Man was surprised and quickly turned away.
"A document fell into your bag." He said it as a matter of course, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Lu.
"I'll handle my own affairs." Jiang Man walked straight to Jiang Lu and said, "Xiao Lu, you have to leave Sun Yong immediately. He is not suitable for you at all!"
Jiang Lu glared at Jiang Man fiercely. It was Jiang Man's fault that she was in such a miserable state now. "I don't need your fake kindness." She waved Jiang Man's hand away and rushed out the door.
Jiang Man looked at her back, feeling mixed emotions.
"I told you before, she is an adult, you are not her father or mother, there is no need to care so much." Su Heng walked in and said.
Jiang Man said sadly: "Xiaolu, you were not like this when you were little."
"People always change, nothing remains unchanged." After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Jiang Man alone to savor these words.
Jiang Man was uneasy the whole day. For some reason, Jiang Lu's figure kept lingering in her mind, making her particularly worried.
As soon as the bell rang for the end of get off work, Jiang's father called unexpectedly and said that he had not received Jiang Lu's call. Upon asking, he found out that she had gone to her biological parents' home, that is, her uncle's.
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Man felt relieved at last, knowing that she was safe and sound.
She leaned weakly on the chair and closed her eyes tiredly.
Someone gently tugged at her hair.
Jiang Man opened his eyes and what came into view was that handsome face.
"Sister-in-law." Chen Hao smiled at her. Jiang Man said helplessly, "Boss Chen, what can I do for you this time?"
Hearing the slightly unfamiliar address, Chen Hao also changed his attitude to a businesslike one, "Miss Jiang, please come with me later. I have something to take care of."
Jiang Man glanced at the time and said, "But, it's already time to get off work."
He sighed softly: "Can you show some professionalism? Just think of it as overtime and double the salary."
After saying that, he tilted his head and looked at her, "Are you going or not?"
"Go." Upon hearing about double overtime pay, Jiang Man immediately became energetic, quickly packed up, and left the company with him.
"Where are we going?" Jiang Man asked curiously while sitting in the car.
Chen Hao drove without looking away, "Last time, that lady invited me to a banquet again."
Hearing this, Jiang Man unbuckled his seat belt without hesitation and said, "Please stop by the roadside. I want to get off."
Chen Hao curled his lips, as if he was about to cry, "Sister-in-law, are you really so heartless?"
"As for that!" Jiang Man turned his head with a firm attitude.
Chen Hao reluctantly parked the car on the side of the road, frowning in grievance, "Then get out! Leave me alone to attend the Hongmen Feast."
Jiang Man felt a headache, "What Hongmen Feast?"
Chen Hao coughed twice unnaturally and said, "I guess she wants to force herself on me."
Jiang Man was stunned. "What does this mean?"
Chen Hao raised his lips into a charming smile and said slowly, "Seeing someone as handsome as me, of course she loses control and can't hold herself back."
"Narcissistic." Jiang Man shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Chen Hao moved closer to her and asked, "Am I not handsome?"
Looking at his childish behavior, Jiang Man smiled helplessly, "Handsome..."
"I knew it!" He raised his eyebrows proudly, "But, sister-in-law, please don't have a crush on me, otherwise, I will be very embarrassed."
Jiang Man rolled his eyes at him, knowing he was teasing him. Chen Hao restarted the car and said as he drove, "Why don't you go home tonight?"
Jiang Man glared at him fiercely, "What do you want to do? Will the party be late?"
"No."
"That is……"
"I'll take you to relax." He said to himself.
Jiang Man refused without hesitation: "No."
"Why?" Chen Hao looked incredulous, as if rejecting him was an unbelievable thing!
Jiang Man said slowly, "As a positive young man, I must devote myself to work with the best mental attitude. Staying up late is not suitable for me."
Chen Hao was amused by her. "What a rigid person." He looked her over, shook his head in disapproval, and said with a tut-tut sound: "You're a girl in your twenties, do you really have to make yourself so old-fashioned and boring? Do you know that you can't keep a man like this?"
"Me?" Jiang Man didn't care. "What's wrong with me doing this? It's safe and I don't need to use anti-theft measures."
He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Okay, I completely admire you!"
The two talked and laughed along the way, and time passed quickly. Soon, they arrived at the beach, where a grand event was being held and there were countless handsome men and beautiful women.
