Chapter 318 Loyal Families
"So, are you going to accompany them tomorrow? You can visit your mother's grave together." Wang Huo asked.
"Sure," she answered nonchalantly.
...
The day ended happily for Jiang Yue and Fu Jin, both of them had the time to bond with their families. Though the occasional teasing about having a grandchild was there, both of them just laugh it off. After all, they were both young and still had a lot of enemies. They thought that it was not the right time for a child yet. They wanted to protect their own child, and the fact that their enemies were still hidden, waiting to strike anytime, was not really a good thing for them.
That night, however, Jiang Yue received a very strange phone call from Shen Rong.
"What's wrong?" She asked after Shen Rong updated her on what had happened that day. According to Shen Rong's story, it was fun and she had really enjoyed talking to her relatives. Yet, Jiang Yue sensed that something was wrong.
"I'm not sure if I have mentioned this to you before, but I had met a guy in B Country. Just outside our office. I was with Long Die... He was... was really nice and handsome." Shen Rong stated. "I really thought he is nice..."
"So? If you like him then what's the problem?"
"I meet him again today."
Her words instantly made Jiang Yue froze. Was it another coincidence?
"What happened?" She asked.
"He came here with his family and had dinner with my relatives. They told me he is a family friend." Jiang Yue heard Shen Rong sigh. "I think they have bad motives."
"You think so?"
"Think about it Xiao Yue, that man approached me first in B Country. I am not that dumb to think that it was a coincidence. He even left when he saw Long Die coming. Aside from that, we only met at the doughnut store. I have never seen him anywhere else, aside from that place. What if he was there to purposely approach me?"
This was not about Shen Rong being too paranoid, it was her, not being dumb. She was able to analyze everything just based on her instinct. She always felt that something was wrong when the Main Family invited her family. Now, her suspicion was getting stronger and stronger.
"Don't worry about it. I already have a plan to get you and your family out of the country if something goes wrong." Jiang Yue said. "If worse comes to worst, I will get you out of there myself."
Shen Rong let out another sigh. "Xiao Yue, I didn't mean to worry you. I'm sorry."
"Stop talking about it. We are friends... By the way... tell me the name of the guy that you mentioned." She answered.
"Zhang Wenhao."
"Got it. Call me if something goes wrong." After Jiang Yue ended the call with Shen Rong, she immediately checked out the information about the Shen and the Zhang Families. To her surprise, both of these families were somehow connected to the Jia Family in M Country.
According to her research, the Zhang and Shen Families were both connected by marriage to the Jia Family. They were some of the most prominent families in M Country as some of them held a high position in the Government. The Jia family was one of the closest and most loyal families to the Li Family and to the Monarch. If she was right, then that Zhang Family was up to no good. They might even offer marriage to Shen Rong, just to tie her to M Country.
On top of that, Jiang Yue also remembered her uncle mention 'Zhang' family name to her grandfather. If she heard it correctly, then her mother's classmate was married to someone with surname 'Zhang'.
Jiang Yue instantly understood that this was not a coincidence. She was sure, there was an underlying plan behind all of this. However, she could only plan ahead and be prepared for what was yet to come.
"What did you found out?" Fu Jin asked.
Jiang Yue instantly told Fu Jin about her findings of the Zhang Family.
"We actually have some connections in M Country. We can use them to safely get Shen Rong out of the country."
"Really?" She beamed.
"Of course. You can use them whenever you want. I will talk to Bei Ye so he can contact them."
"Thank you," she said before hugging him.
"Just let me handle it. You can relax and prepare yourself for your visitors tomorrow."
"They want to visit my mother's grave," she stated. "I'm sure they are planning something and I already don't like it."
"Do you want me to accompany you?" He asked. Jiang Yue informed him a while ago, that it's okay if he didn't accompany her during her meeting with her mother's friends.
"No... I'm fine. They can't bully me in my own country. You know that!"
Thinking about the Zhang Family members that were going to visit tomorrow, instantly made Jiang Yue smirk. Fu Jin was right. She needed to prepare a good show for them.
