Jiang Dehai was still fuming and roared, "Wu Sao! Where's my whip? Bring it over! I'm going to beat this unfilial daughter to death!"
All the servants in the Gu family were trembling.
Before Wu Sao could hand the whip to Jiang Dehai, Jiang Shiyu calmly took out her phone, opened the video recording, and then made a call.
"Hello, 110—"
Jiang Yurou looked at Jiang Shiyu as if she were a lunatic. What was she doing?! She was actually calling the police?!
"I've recorded all of it. If you want to hit me, hit me hard. I'll see if it's prison bars or your whip then?!"
"You—you cheap bitch! Bitch! How dare you threaten your father?! Who is that cheap man?! Believe it or not, I'll call the senior management of Lingsheng and have you fired?! You still want to work at Lingsheng with your sister?! Wishful thinking?! You cheap bitch don't deserve it!"
"You can try!" Jiang Shiyu saved the video and looked at Jiang Dehai coldly.
On the way back by taxi, Jiang Shiyu opened the front camera and saw her face covered in blood. How could she face Murong Cheng like this? She asked the driver to turn back and go to the hospital.
The taxi driver saw Jiang Shiyu's condition and exclaimed, "Oh dear, little girl, what happened?"
"It's nothing, just a small injury." Compared to the injuries she had suffered in the Gu family over the years, this was nothing.
"Such a serious injury is still a small injury. Little girl, don't be brave. Wipe it with a tissue quickly! My daughter is also your age. Seeing you like this reminds me of my daughter. It breaks my heart!"
The taxi driver handed Jiang Shiyu a pack of tissues.
Jiang Shiyu looked for a long time before pulling out a few tissues and wiping the blood that was almost congealing on her face.
Even a stranger felt sorry for her…
Her own father treated her like a cheap bitch, like an animal!
She curled her lips in a sarcastic smile.
Thinking of Jiang Dehai's words, Jiang Shiyu still felt a little panicked.
Although Jiang Dehai was a kept man, he controlled her maternal grandfather's company and assets, and had considerable connections.
If Jiang Dehai could get Jiang Yurou into the company, he could naturally get her out.
She had only been working for less than half a month, and she was going to be fired and lose this dream job?
When she arrived at the hospital, she registered for the emergency department and needed stitches. It was already past nine o'clock. Anesthesia was applied during the stitching, so it didn't hurt much. Jiang Shiyu paid and left the hospital close to ten o'clock. She picked up her phone again and found many missed calls from Murong Cheng.
Just as Jiang Shiyu was about to call him back, a black Maybach suddenly stopped in front of her.
Just by the sound of the car braking, one could feel the driver's anger.
Jiang Shiyu swallowed hard, praying it wasn't Murong Cheng.
The black car window slowly rolled down.
The man's handsome face was dark, and his eyes stared at her coldly.
It's over.
Jiang Shiyu's heart sank. She had feared the worst, and it had come true.
"How did you know I was here…" Jiang Shiyu smiled guiltily and instinctively raised her hand to cover the wound on her forehead.
"Get in the car."
The man's voice, which used to be like a spring, was now as cold as if covered in frost.
Jiang Shiyu touched the door handle and got into the car with a pounding heart. "I had something to do, so I'm a little late getting home. Don't be angry, it's just a minor injury."
Although the Gu family wasn't as powerful after her maternal grandfather's death, her maternal grandfather had accumulated considerable assets and connections during his lifetime, all of which were in Jiang Dehai's hands.
She knew Murong Cheng would protect her.
But she couldn't fight against her father.
If Murong Cheng found out that Jiang Dehai was behind this and went to deal with him, he might be killed by Jiang Dehai.
"Minor injury?"
Murong Cheng clenched the steering wheel, the veins on the back of his hand bulging visibly.
Did this fool think he was an idiot?
He had seen the bandage on her forehead from afar. Did he think it would be invisible if he covered it?!
"I'm really fine, I just fell accidentally."
Seeing that Jiang Shiyu was unwilling to speak, Murong Cheng took a few deep breaths before forcing himself to calm down. He remained silent the entire way.
Jiang Shiyu felt the heavy anger from the man beside her. She shivered and tried to appease him. "Ah Jing…"
"Husband…"
"Mm."
Jiang Shiyu seriously suspected that this man was doing it on purpose.
"I thought you were angry, but it turns out you want to take advantage of me." Jiang Shiyu immediately retracted her fawning smile.
"Tell me next time you have something going on. I'm your husband, understand?"
Murong Cheng's voice was deep, with a captivating power.
This was the first time Murong Cheng had spoken to her in a commanding tone.
And it didn't feel out of place at all.
It was as if he were a born king.
Jiang Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously like a pecking chick. "Mm-hmm, I understand."
It was late at night when they returned to Jingyuan. Jiang Shiyu took a bath and curled up in bed.
Suddenly, the bed behind her sank, and a pair of strong arms embraced her.
Jiang Shiyu was almost asleep. Feeling the man's strength and the warmth of his chest, she woke up instantly, the clean, sharp scent of the man lingering in her nostrils.
She initially wanted to struggle, but thinking about what happened today, Jiang Shiyu didn't move.
She let the man hold her.
"So obedient today?"
The man's deep voice sounded, with a hint of hoarseness.
"Is the tofu delicious?"
Jiang Shiyu asked vaguely.
"Delicious, Officer…"
Jiang Shiyu's eyes snapped open, and her body trembled slightly.
Officer?
Was it a coincidence?
How would Murong Cheng know the catchphrase of that boy?
But that boy back then wasn't called this name!
It must be a coincidence!
Jiang Shiyu quickly dismissed this absurd thought.
Because she couldn't possibly connect the tall, handsome man in front of her with that fat, dark little boy.
The next day, Jiang Shiyu went to work as usual.
In the pantry, Jiang Shiyu was making a cup of soy milk. Before she could stir it with a spoon, the sound of high heels echoed from behind her.
Jiang Shiyu frowned. As expected, Jiang Yurou's cold laugh followed.
"You're really stubborn, but unfortunately, you won't have the chance anymore. Dad has already found someone he knows, so you can start packing and get out of Lingsheng!"
A hint of panic flashed in Jiang Shiyu's heart.
The next second, she turned around. "Then please fire me and let me see how capable Jiang Dehai is!"
"As expected, you're different when you have a sugar daddy backing you. Jiang Shiyu, I'll dig three feet deep to find the person behind you. I want to see who can make you so arrogant. Don't get too pleased with yourself, Jiang Shiyu!"
Jiang Yurou's voice was sharp and malicious, spoken through gritted teeth.
Jiang Shiyu rubbed her ear. "Are you finished? A futile rage? Then please let me get out of here!"
She left the pantry without looking back.
She almost couldn't resist splashing the soy milk in her hand onto Jiang Yurou's face.
She certainly believed Jiang Yurou had the ability.
She also believed Jiang Dehai had the ability to fire her from Lingsheng.
She was already accustomed to it. She would stand and fight even if it meant dying!
