Chapter 427 Fortunately, you are there
The family enjoyed their time outside for a while, and then the guests gradually took their seats in the banquet hall. They followed suit.
An Xiaoyue looked around and saw that Hua Lan and Chu Xiao had already found a place to sit.
Judging from their manner of conversation, they must be people Chu Xiao knows.
Hua Lan seemed to sense her gaze and looked over; the two smiled slightly.
Hua Lan shook her head and pointed to indicate: "His friends, we'll sit here."
An Xiaoyue gave an "OK" sign, ending the silent exchange.
Anjiaren found some warm water and mixed it with milk powder for Lucky.
Lucky was hungry too. She lay in the stroller, holding the bottle, drinking happily with her little mouth, kicking her little legs, looking very content.
After a short while, the legs fell still.
The bottle was still in her mouth, but Lucky had already fallen asleep.
The guests at the table praised, "The little one is so well-behaved, he doesn't make a fuss at all, he eats and then falls asleep."
An Xiaoyue and Fu Shengyang smiled but did not respond.
Leng Shi is always happy when others praise his grandson, regardless of who the person is.
"Yes, it's all thanks to the couple's excellent parenting skills, especially the father who has put in the most effort."
"Wow, a dad with a baby, that's a rare sight."
They're all grandparents, and when they talk about their grandchildren, they can find common ground regardless of each other's status.
The newlyweds, accompanied by their parents, walked together towards their table.
While the adults were exchanging pleasantries, Zhong Lingxi quietly told An Xiaoyue.
"Didn't you give me a suggestion on New Year's Eve?"
An Xiaoyue lowered her eyes guiltily, gave a soft "hmm," and waited for Zhong Lingxi to continue.
"I did everything she asked, not only thanking her for her efforts but also praising her. As a result, she paid less attention to me."
"That's good." An Xiaoyue replied softly.
"I can't wait to tell you, let's meet up again when you're on winter break and Zhen Zhen finishes filming."
"Okay."
The two sisters whispered to each other, their faces beaming with joy.
“Hmm~” Teacher Zhou, who was standing next to Lingxi, suddenly cleared her throat.
The two sisters were so frightened that their hearts skipped a beat.
Upon seeing that it was Teacher Zhou, the two patted each other on the chest.
It's okay, it's okay.
This was practically like playing with crickets in front of people. How could the two of them not be nervous when Teacher Zhou suddenly spoke up?
However, although Teacher Zhou gave a reminder, there was no hint of blame in her eyes.
She would remind the children when they did something wrong, but whether they corrected it or not was up to them.
Lingxi was also a precious child that she and Lao Zhong cherished and raised; neither of them, as parents, restricted her.
If you get married, then it's even more unacceptable!
After the wedding banquet, Leng Shi took his leave with his family and the hosts.
After sending Leng Shize and An Jiaren back to the Leng family home, Fu Shengyang and his wife returned to Fu Garden.
Upon entering the unknown spring, Fu Shengyang entrusted his good fortune to Sister Qiu.
"I have some work to do this afternoon, so I'll trouble you to take care of it."
Fu Shengyang was cold to everyone, polite yet distant, and Qiu Jie had gotten used to his way of doing things.
"Okay, sir."
Cui's mother waited anxiously on the side.
Fu Shengyang finally asked her, "Where is she?"
"Uncle Fu was worried that if he left him in the reception room, the master would find out, so he asked him to wait at the waterside pavilion."
As the caretakers of Fu Garden, Uncle Fu and Aunt Cui always worked diligently and thoughtfully, saving them a lot of trouble.
Fu Shengyang's eyes showed appreciation, "When you have some free time, quietly tidy up the Begonia Pavilion."
Haitanglou was the place where the late Miss Fu Wantang lived before her marriage.
Now that Young Master Jiang Kai is in trouble, the master has asked her to clean the Begonia Pavilion.
The meaning was obvious; Cui Ma already knew the answer in her heart without needing to say it outright.
"Okay, I'll clean it up and ventilate it first."
Aunt Cui agreed and left.
An Xiaoyue stood to one side, listening silently.
Sheng Yang had made all the arrangements, and she lifted her foot to leave.
As soon as she took a step forward, her wrist felt slightly cool as Fu Shengyang's large hand grasped it.
"Didn't you promise to help me? Where's my darling wife?"
"what?"
When he said he was helping, did he mean helping him keep it a secret from his family?
She didn't tell anyone.
"I don't want to clean up Jiang Kai's mess at all, but I have no choice. My darling wife is with me, which makes me feel a little better."
Fu Shengyang's words were pitiful.
But that suited her perfectly.
An Xiaoyue grasped his hand. "Okay, I'll go with you."
Fu Shengyang raised his hand and gently stroked the tip of her nose with affection.
"Thank you, my darling wife, I'm so glad I had you."
The couple returned to their waterside residence, which they had moved away from six months prior. The stream was still flowing gently, gradually calming their restless hearts.
Even with only one servant standing by to attend to him, the lawyer was not idle.
He was holding his laptop, working on his job.
Hearing footsteps at the door, the lawyer immediately put down his laptop.
He stood up straight and greeted them respectfully, "Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu, good afternoon."
Fu Shengyang gestured for them to sit down, and together they took An Xiaoyue's hand and sat down.
After the couple sat down, the lawyer returned to his original seat.
"Tell me the specific details of your investigation." Everyone's time is precious, so Fu Shengyang got straight to the point.
"Due to the maintenance of the prison's surveillance system, all information can only be obtained from the testimonies of the individuals involved."
An Xiaoyue sat upright, but she knew in her heart that this matter was not simple.
The prison's surveillance system is under maintenance—how could the prisoners possibly know about it?
"The first to strike were death row inmates about to be executed. Among the accomplices were Jiang Mianzhi's political enemies. There are many suspicious points in the case. Why did the person about to be executed have contact with Jiang Kai? Was Jiang Kai subjected to long-term bullying in prison? Did Jiang Mianzhi's political enemies use their positions to orchestrate this atrocity...?"
Jiang Kai dug his own grave; he was involved in pornography and drugs, which is why he ended up in jail.
Jiang Mianzhi not only couldn't protect his son, but at the height of his career, he was also expelled from the Party and dismissed from public office.
Jiang Mianzhi's life did not end well either.
An Xiaoyue recalled the past, but felt nothing.
She sipped the black tea brewed by the maid; the lunch was quite oily and salty, so this was a good way to cleanse her palate.
Fu Shengyang asked succinctly, "What's Jiang Kai's situation now?"
"The prison's medical clinic couldn't handle it, so we called the emergency services directly. As per your instructions, we've arranged for her to go to Longjin Hospital. The latest news is that she's still on the operating table, and multiple departments are working together to save her."
The lawyer adjusted his silver-rimmed glasses, his gaze sharp and piercing.
"My intestines were pulled out and I didn't get medical attention in time, so they've become necrotic. I need to have a colostomy in my abdomen and use an ostomy bag long-term. As for the fracture, the doctor said it was caused by violence. Even if I recover well later, my two legs won't be the same length, so I walk with one leg higher than the other. My reproductive function has been damaged, and I've lost my fertility. There are both old and new bruises on my body that are covered by clothing."
What's the prison's attitude?
Fu Shengyang's expression was not good, and his voice was cold and harsh, giving people an invisible pressure.
Finally, we get to the point: even the most experienced lawyers will panic when faced with the overwhelming pressure of those in power.
The lawyer rubbed his hands on his knees and trousers to keep his palms dry.
"The prison's message is that they cannot accept Jiang Kai in his current condition, but they will cooperate as long as we make our demands."
Upon hearing this, An Xiaoyue couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
These people are clearly using Jiang Kai to test the Fu family.
They said they would agree to whatever conditions the other party proposed.
This isn't handling things; this is shirking responsibility.
Jiang Kai got into trouble in prison, and they are the ones who should be the ones coming up with a solution.
Jiang Kai was a prisoner, and they couldn't accept it, so they stopped letting him continue serving his sentence.
Where is justice for those whose families were destroyed and who died because of the river opening?
When Jiang Kaiyi got into trouble, he contacted Fu Shengyang immediately.
If this wasn't aimed at the Fu family, who would believe it?
These people have too many thoughts on their minds.
They assumed Changfeng Group was going to collapse just because Sheng Yang wasn't at work?
It's only been a little over a year since the cleanup campaign at liver disease hospitals and the healthcare system, and those people have already forgotten the lesson?
