Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 705: Cutting through the Mess with a Sharp Knife
Jiang Huai was completely in the mode of a bystander as he looked at Jiang Ye:
"Bro, did you have a hand in this?"
He was really suspicious!
And it wasn’t just Jiang Huai, even Lu Jing had his suspicions when they were in the car earlier, right?
Pfft~
One could only say that someone’s reputation was widely known!
Jiang Ye swiftly glanced over:
"Did your brain take in water?"
If Jiang Ye had gotten involved in this matter, wouldn’t he be shooting himself in the foot?
Idiotic, right?
Jiang Huai finally came to his senses and slapped his forehead:
"Cough, I was just speaking without thinking."
Whether he was speaking without thinking, he knew best himself.
Luckily, Father Jiang, Jiang’s mother, and Jiang Ye himself didn’t plan to expose anyone’s pretense.
Jiang Qiu’s situation was indeed a bit tricky; there was no choice since someone had the old man’s backing.
One couldn’t simply disregard the old man’s feelings, right?
"Dad, Mom, are you planning to go back to Jing City?" Jiang Ye asked.
Father Jiang nodded:
"Your mom and I were indeed planning to go back as soon as possible to resolve everything."
However, Jiang Ye didn’t agree:
"I think you and Mom should take this time to go on a vacation."
As long as Father Jiang and Jiang’s mother weren’t around, given the old man’s age, he was hardly able to manage many things.
And it would also prevent Jiang’s mother from continuously feeling suffocated.
What if it affected her health?
Hence, the best plan is sometimes to retreat.
Just observe from a distance for now, and when really needed, the old couple could return, right?
After all, Jiang Qiu was merely detained at this moment, not about to be executed.
Besides, there was still someone from the Gu family involved, so the problem shouldn’t be too big.
But if Father Jiang and Jiang’s mother got involved now, there would still be a dilemma.
Do they bail him out?
Or not?
If they bail him out, the Jiang Family would feel uncomfortable.
If they don’t, outsiders would have something to talk about.
The next second, Jiang’s mother made a decision firmly:
"Let’s do what Aye suggested and go travel to clear our minds, that sounds good."
Father Jiang still hesitated a bit:
"This...."
But before he could express his hesitance, Jiang’s mother decisively interrupted:
"What about this? Have you thought about how many times you’ve stood me up? Luckily, you don’t need to go on a business trip abroad this time, isn’t it time for that promised vacation?"
Sss!
With that said, what could Father Jiang retort?
"All right, I’ll listen to you."
The world is vast, but the wife is the most significant.
Seeing that the old couple had made up their minds, Jiang Ye signaled Jiang Huai with his eyes.
However, Jiang Huai was still too engrossed in eating melon seeds and didn’t pay much attention.
Having no choice, Jiang Ye had to shout:
"Ah Huai, what are you dazed about? Book the tickets!"
"Ah? Oh, oh, okay, I’ll book them now!"
Feeling disdainful, he didn’t bother to waste his breath.
He turned away his face, out of sight, out of mind.
Father Jiang took several deep breaths and didn’t dare confront his wife, finally only managing to look resentfully at his eldest son.
With a complete ’why are you rushing things?’ expression.
Hmph.
Not acting quickly, waiting for those people from Jing City to come knocking?
Wasn’t it just like that last time?
So, cutting the Gordian knot was best.
After all, those people wouldn’t dare confront Jiang Ye directly, and as for Jiang Huai, who was hardly ever seen, there was no need to worry.
....
At this moment, in the family building.
Lu Jing was worried sick, hadn’t slept, staring at the ceiling with wide-open eyes, occasionally glancing at the time on his phone.
"Why hasn’t he come back?" he murmured to himself.
