About half an hour later, there was a sound of brakes at the door. Su Jinshan excitedly stood up from the sofa and ran out the door. However, when she reached the door, a man in a black suit came in with Jiang Ruoyin.
Apart from her messy hair and dirty clothes, Jiang Ruoyin didn't seem to have suffered any harm. She was probably quite frightened, her face was pale and her expression was a little dull.
Su Jinshan excitedly stepped forward and hugged Jiang Ruoyin into her arms: "Ruoyin, I'm glad you're okay. I was really scared!"
Jiang Ruoyin's numb expression seemed to relax a little, and she blinked in confusion. When her mother's face, which was a mixture of excitement, joy, and worry, came into view, her numb emotions seemed to have found an outlet in an instant, and she burst into tears while hugging her mother tightly: "Mom... wuwuwuwu! I'm so scared..."
Su Jinshan hugged her and stroked her back to comfort her: "My poor child, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay, mom is here, no one will hurt you..."
"Wow..." Jiang Ruoyin cried miserably, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Tears as big as beans kept falling down, and immediately wet a large area of the clothes on Su Jinshan's shoulders.
Su Jinshan patiently kept comforting her.
Wen Xinya looked at the scene in front of her, and it would be a lie to say that she was not moved. This was probably what a mother was like. She was always a safe haven. No matter how much hurt and wronged we were, we could always seek comfort in this embrace and find peace of mind.
Her eyes suddenly became moist, and an emotion called envy arose spontaneously.
At this time, Jiang Ruoyin's crying gradually stopped. Su Jinshan helped her sit on the sofa. Xia Ruya quickly took a pillow and stuffed it behind her so that she could sit more comfortably. Jiang Yuqian got up and poured a glass of water for Jiang Ruoyin. Xia Ruxue helped her get a tissue so that she could wipe her tears.
Xia Ruya said quickly: "Aunt Jiang, although Ruoyin was not injured, she was frightened. Let's send Ruoyin to the hospital for a check-up!"
"You are such a thoughtful child. I didn't even think of this." Su Jinshan couldn't help but admire her for her meticulous mind. She also thought of the strong and overbearing Wen Xinya. In contrast, she felt a sense of dislike for Wen Xinya, and instead was full of love for Xia Ruya.
Xia Ruya lowered her head a little embarrassedly: "I'm just worried about Ruoyin."
Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue quickly expressed their desire to go to the hospital with Jiang Ruoyin.
After a few people made the decision, they helped Jiang Ruoyin and prepared to leave.
At this time, Gu Yuehan's stern voice suddenly sounded: "Mrs. Jiang, have you forgotten the previous agreement? Do you need me to remind you again?"
Su Jinshan's body suddenly froze. How could she forget? She deliberately pretended to be confused and got away with it under the pretext of sending Ruoyin to the hospital, but who knew that Mr. Gu would not give in? After all, she had promised him before, and there were so many witnesses present. If she went back on her word, where would she put her face? Besides, this Mr. Gu was unpredictable and gave her a bad feeling.
She had no choice but to turn around and said with a forced and stiff smile: "Mr. Gu, how could that be? I was just too concerned about my daughter's physical condition, so I neglected it for a moment."
Xia Ruya quickly said softly, "Xinya, this incident was just a misunderstanding. Aunt Jiang loves her daughter so much that she misunderstood that you kidnapped Ruoyin. You see... Ruoyin finally escaped death, and she hasn't said a complete sentence until now. Aunt Jiang is worried about Ruoyin and is anxious to take her to the hospital for a checkup. Can we talk about the apology after we send Ruoyin to the hospital first?"
Let's talk about it later, it will definitely be a dead end! Su Jinshan looked at Xia Ruya's expression and it became softer. The key to the apology was still Wen Xinya, but she and Wen Xinya had a falling out, so it was naturally not easy to shamelessly talk to her. Xia Ruya was different. She used sending Ruoyin to the hospital as a cover, and anyone with a little compassion would soften her.
Besides...if Wen Xinya disagreed, even if she apologized, she would still be known as a strong and unreasonable person.
Wen Xinya looked at Xia Ruya with a clear and cold gaze: "Xia Ruya, what kind of logic is this? It only takes a few seconds to apologize. What can it delay? Besides... Madam Jiang's daughter is a daughter, am I not someone else's child? Madam Jiang's daughter is missing and she can arbitrarily accuse and threaten others, but what about me? My mother who was bullied died early, and no one stood up for me?"
"Xinya... I... I didn't mean that!" Xia Ruya was speechless for a moment, her eyes wide open, bewildered.
Su Jinshan's body froze. She had not expected Wen Xinya to say such a thing. Feeling the strange looks from all around, she suddenly remembered how she had threatened Wen Xinya before. Everyone saw it. She wanted to use Ruoyin to get away with it, but as long as Wen Xinya was unwilling, they would be helpless.
Xia Ruxue couldn't bear it anymore and glared at Wen Xinya, saying, "Wen Xinya, do you have any sympathy at all? Ruoyin escaped death, and you are still so aggressive. It's too much!"
Jiang Yuqian thought about how she had painstakingly planned to plot against Wen Xinya, but it was all in vain. She felt a surge of resentment in her heart. She glared at Wen Xinya and said angrily, "It was just a small misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, you want Aunt Jiang to apologize to you. She is your elder, and you have the nerve to do that."
Wen Xinya sneered: "When you were aggressive towards me before, did you ever think that the situation would change?"
This one sentence left everyone speechless.
Wen Xinya looked at Su Jinshan with a mocking arc in her eyes: "Mrs. Jiang, I respect you as a woman who has a good reputation in the business world. This reputation is hard-earned. You must cherish your feathers and never destroy the Great Wall. If what happened today gets out, how will outsiders look at you? You are untrustworthy and have no integrity. This is probably a fatal blow to the Jiang family!"
Merchants value their reputation. Su Jinshan's throat choked, and she felt Wen Xinya strangle her throat with a pair of invisible hands. She squeezed out a voice from her throat: "Miss Wen, it was wrong for me to accuse you of kidnapping my daughter. I hope you don't mind!"
Wen Xinya raised her eyebrows, and the smile on her lips deepened a little: "Since Madam Jiang apologizes so sincerely, how can I refuse? Madam Jiang loves her daughter so much, I can understand."
Su Jinshan's face turned pale and blue, and her sharp eyes suddenly became gloomy: "Wen Xinya, from today on, all the friendship between the Jiang family and the Wen family will be gone."
Wen Xinya sneered, "Madam Jiang, you are a forgetful person. The friendship between the Wen family and the Jiang family was gone when the Wen family terminated all cooperation with the Jiang family."
Su Jinshan gritted her teeth and sneered, "If that's the case, then Miss Wen, let's just wait and see!"
