Chapter 123 A Marriage Certificate That Can Never Be Sent Out
Jiang Po is going crazy.
Because his boss left without a word.
Even the proprietress has disappeared.
No one knows where Jiang Ci took Shen Xi.
It even alarmed the Jiang family.
They sent people out to search, but they couldn't find it.
Jiang Ci didn't even care about Jiangdu.
On this night, as darkness deepened, a sense of unease gripped the hearts of the people.
The next day, Hua Lan, who hadn't slept all night, received a timed text message from Jiang Ci.
A short line,
—Mom, I'm entrusting Jiangdu to you.
When Hua Lan received the message, she was completely bewildered. She didn't understand what Jiang Ci meant. Not long after receiving the message, when she and Jiang Hui went to the hospital with several bodyguards, the little boy was fast asleep, hugging his blanket, seemingly unaware of anything.
Upon closer inspection, the child's pillow was wet.
Jiang Ci left nothing behind except that text message.
The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...
Jiang Ci never appeared.
However, at the same time Hua Lan received the message, Li Zhu also received a message asking him to temporarily chair the recent meeting.
as well as,
—Sorry for the trouble. For important rulings, you can contact my father.
When Li Zhu received the message, he was stunned for a moment. He sat at his desk and stared at it for a long time. He didn't know what had happened to his boss recently, but in his opinion, since his boss and his wife got back together, his boss seemed to have changed a lot. His boss had gradually become gentler and even... more and more humane.
But what does leaving this message mean now?
He paused for a few seconds, then quickly grabbed the phone and hurriedly dialed Jiang Po's number.
However, Jiang Po was sitting in the Jiang family's main hall at that moment.
That's like a clay bodhisattva crossing a river—barely able to save itself.
Jiang Po looked at the two rows of Jiang family members sitting neatly opposite him, from Old Master Jiang and Old Madam Jiang to Jiang Du, who had no expression on his face.
When Jiang Po sat down, he even experienced the meaning of the word "restraint" for the first time in his life.
He forced a smile, his expression stiff, and asked, "Excuse me, what happened?"
Otherwise, how could we hold a three-way interrogation of him?
Old Master Jiang, dressed in a dark black Zhongshan suit, stared at Jiang Po with sharp eyes, giving him a great sense of pressure.
Jiang Po swallowed hard, his nervousness prompting him to instinctively reach into his pocket for a cigarette to calm himself down.
The old man asked in a low voice, "Do you know where that kid Jiang Ci went?"
Jiang Po suddenly looked up. Wasn't the boss at Yujing Villa?
He suddenly thought of that morning.
The words Shen Xi said in front of the wooden house,
"Jiang Po, don't let him find out I'm here."
What exactly happened in between?!
Seeing Jiang Po's bewildered expression, the Jiang family knew that he had no idea where Jiang Ci was.
The vast Jiang family,
The silence was chilling.
None of the bodyguards at Yujing Villa received a message from Jiang Ci.
After the Shen family received the news that Jiang Ci had disappeared with Shen Xi.
Shen Qi was furious in his office. He had just found his own daughter, and now that brat had taken her away.
Chu Li has not yet received any news.
It had been raining in the capital for several days in a row, and the sky was shrouded in fog, with a gray sky covering the earth.
…………
On an unnamed island,
Shen Xi woke up groggily from her sleep, opening her eyes weakly.
It was pitch black in front of me.
She can't see anything.
"you're awake."
A deep, cold, and hoarse voice rang out from Shen Xi's right.
It was Jiang Ci's voice.
Shen Xi looked in the direction of the voice, paused for a few seconds, and then hesitantly asked, "Where are we?"
When a person is blind, their hearing often becomes more acute.
She seemed to hear the sound of seagulls.
Was it just her imagination?
"On the small island." Jiang Ci's words were very brief, so brief that Shen Xi was somewhat at a loss.
She pursed her lips slightly, her hands, hidden under the blanket, gripping the sheets tightly.
Why did you come here?
The man sat on the octagonal chair by the bed, gazing quietly into her eyes for a very long time.
After a long pause, he suddenly chuckled.
"You're leaving soon, can't I at least deceive myself a little and take you out for a honeymoon?"
Shen Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly; she was at a loss for words.
The sound of the waves crashing against the shore assaulted Shen Xi's ears.
She seemed to smell a salty, damp odor.
Jiang Ci looked at the woman on the bed. For the first time, she was so vulnerable in front of him. Her straight black hair was draped over her shoulders, and her once lively and cunning eyes had become silent and still. Even her lips were pale.
For the first time, he felt how tragic life could be.
"Shen Xi".
"Ok?"
Shen Xi subconsciously looked toward the source of the sound.
Jiang Ci said softly, "I'll let you go back."
Shen Xi's face was blank. She gave a soft "hmm" and then felt that something was wrong.
She stared blankly in Jiang Ci's direction.
"Then why come here?"
Shen Xi had a strong premonition, but it wasn't a good one. She hoped Jiang Ci could be rational and live a good life, regardless of whether she was there or not.
The chair creaked.
Jiang Ci stood up, his face indifferent as he looked out the window at the sea, his tone flat.
"I love the sea."
Shen Xi suddenly perked up. She was sad and silent, tears slowly streaming from the corners of her eyes.
He's someone who almost drowned in the sea when he was a child, so why would he like the sea?
It's obvious... she likes the sea.
She remembered one night when they watched a movie together, and the male and female protagonists in the movie embraced each other and sank into the sea. She was so moved that she burst into tears.
Nowadays, she is no exception to the common practice.
She then asked Jiang Ci, "If I were to sink into the sea first, what would you do?"
In that dimly lit movie theater, the movie's ending theme song slowly began to play.
She heard Jiang Ci say casually,
"Then I will regret countless times that I never learned to swim."
Then, he changed the subject.
"But that doesn't matter, I'll come find you anyway."
She didn't ask how to find him, and Jiang Ci didn't say either.
But from that day on, she learned that Jiang Ci had thalassophobia.
There is no swimming pool at Yujing Villa.
Thinking of all this, Shen Xi felt as if tens of thousands of tons of weight were pressing down on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
She couldn't help but sigh softly.
What can we do, Jiang Ci?
Jiang Ci had his back to Shen Xi, his dark eyes staring at the blinding sea in the distance. Hearing that soft sigh, the veins on his hanging arm bulged.
He turned and walked to the glass table, picked up the red brocade cloth on it, and his deep gaze fell on the gold lines on it, his eyes softening for a moment.
His well-defined fingertips gently stroked the characters made of gold thread.
"Shen Xi, I want to show you something."
Shen Xi was stunned for a moment, and all the emotion she felt vanished instantly.
Jiang Ci is so smart, how could he not see that she is blind?
Is it now fashionable to show things to blind people and deceive them?
However, she still instinctively reached out her hand.
Next second,
A soft cloth landed in her hands.
Shen Xi touched the cloth; it was very soft.
But as she touched further, she felt something uneven... like embroidery?
Shen Xi then carefully felt along the middle of the cloth.
No, it's not embroidery, it's writing.
She didn't understand why Jiang Ci would give her this piece of cloth embroidered with words.
Is there something important up there?
Jiang Ci watched as Shen Xi touched the embroidered marriage certificate again and again, her eyes calm, so calm that she was almost numb.
"Yes, I know you agree."
A seemingly random sentence made Shen Xi realize that this thing was not a simple matter.
She frowned, her tone seemingly incredulous.
"Hey, even though I really do need to go home and I can't see right now, you can't just bully a blind person like this, can you?"
She knows nothing, so what's there to be satisfied with?
Jiang Ci looked down at the marriage certificate that the woman had grabbed, and on the small corner that was exposed, Shen Xi's name was embroidered.
He was lost in thought.
This time, he finally sent it out.
However, he could never keep the people he wanted to stay.
Before Shen Xi could touch each of the words on it, the cloth in her hand was suddenly snatched away.
Um?! !
Shen Xi, "Didn't you give it to me?"
Jiang Ci gently put away the marriage certificate, her tone natural, "Yes, it's yours. Just take a look."
Shen Xi told herself to smile, to smile...
Smile my ass!!
How come Jiang Ci is like a completely different person as soon as she wakes up? He's aloof, can't speak clearly, and his mental state seems worrying.
Jiang Ci caught a glimpse of Shen Xi's forced smile, yet also a look of irritation on her face, and a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Get up and eat breakfast later."
Shen Xi chuckled dryly, "Heh, you still want to eat? I thought you were going to retire from the Path of Heartlessness?"
Jiang Ci didn't reply. After packing his things, he strode to the bedside, lifted the blanket, and pulled the petite woman on the bed into his arms.
Shen Xi was suddenly suspended in mid-air, her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively hugged Jiang Ci's waist, finding a new foothold.
"Hey, are you trying to scare me to death? Are you going to inherit my estate?"
"Shut up," Jiang Ci said coldly.
His tone was chillingly cold, as if it were the first time he had uttered those two words to Shen Xi.
Shen Xi paused for a moment, then her smile became increasingly fake. "I knew it. Men's words are deceitful. When I was pursuing you, I couldn't wait to call you 'darling, darling.' Now that we're breaking up, I get annoyed just hearing you talk."
Jiang Ci's forehead veins throbbed as he listened, and he carried Shen Xi to the sofa outside.
Shen Xi was forced to lie flat.
Jiang Ci propped one leg on the sofa and slowly bent down to lie down next to the woman on the sofa.
Shen Xi felt a heavy breath coming towards her, accompanied by the sandalwood scent of the man.
Hmm, when did Jiang Ci start learning how to burn incense?
Shen Xi was idly thinking when suddenly she felt a pain under her lip.
She suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes wide open, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Ci's voice was low and deep; he seemed to chuckle softly as he spoke.
"Fuck you."
Shen Xi was completely devastated. What kind of Pandora's box of evil had Jiang Ci opened that had turned things into this?
Where did that big, refined, domineering CEO go?
Just when Shen Xi thought there was going to be another move, she felt a heat on her lips.
Jiang Ci carefully placed a kiss on her lips.
Shen Xi felt inexplicably envious.
At noon, although Jiang Ci was sharp-tongued, he still managed to feed Shen Xi, at least ensuring she didn't go hungry.
The turning point always comes in a split second.
In the afternoon, Jiang Ci found a wheelchair from somewhere and wanted to push Shen Xi to see the sea.
From the moment Shen Xi woke up, she felt as if she were experiencing a final burst of energy before death. She felt no pain anywhere in her body, except that she was slightly blind.
The situation deteriorated rapidly in the afternoon.
Shen Xi had just sat down at the table when she suddenly felt her blood surging and vomited a mouthful of blood.
I felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if I were floating on clouds.
She realized she couldn't continue like this.
While Jiang Ci was looking for his wheelchair, she spoke as if to herself, "I want to make one last deal."
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
"I know I'm the female lead, you can take that title now."
【what would you like?】
The woman's voice was soft and gentle.
"Let all those in this world who once knew me forget me."
