My Son-in-law Is A War God-Chapter 518 - 519: Strange Phone Call_1
"Wouldn’t this be a bit too cruel?"
Jiang Meng watched Di Tianjiao leave, sighed, and said, "You clearly don’t dislike her, and you don’t want to hurt her.
Yet, for my sake, you rejected her."
Jiang Meng suddenly felt the urge to cry. If she were the one being abandoned, she would truly be desperate.
She guessed that if Xiao Chen were to leave her, she probably couldn’t stop him.
Thinking about it now, it really does stir up some feelings.
Back when Xiao Chen had just married into the Jiang Family, although she was grateful to him, she didn’t really have feelings for him.
Even though she gradually got used to the feeling of having Xiao Chen by her side, she still didn’t know if that was love.
But now, if Xiao Chen were to leave, it would truly be the death of her.
"You’re wrong,"
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I did it for you, but also for her.
Better a short pain than a long one. That silly girl would keep on trying if I didn’t reject her outright.
In the end, that would just hurt everyone more.
She is a smart person. She might not understand now, but I know her; as long as I’m living well, she won’t cling on persistently."
"I see!"
Jiang Meng nodded her head. She could understand that feeling. To truly love someone isn’t to possess them, but to make them happy.
If Xiao Chen really left her, she might be heartbroken, even despairing, but she wouldn’t cling on desperately.
What isn’t yours, pursuing it forcefully is pointless. What you get isn’t happiness, but tears from both people.
"What do you think of her?"
Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"She’s outstanding, so outstanding that I can hardly breathe,"
Jiang Meng said with a wry smile. "Moreover, she really would do anything for you. She founded the Empire Group just to take control of her own fate,
to be with you.
If your will wasn’t strong, I feared I couldn’t compete with her.
Even at one point, I was moved by her, even felt like I should step aside!"
"If you stepped aside, wouldn’t I end up single?"
Xiao Chen laughed and said, "Don’t feel pressured about this. Even if I don’t marry you, I wouldn’t marry her either.
Originally, I planned to never marry in my life. For someone like me, getting married is an extravagant affair.
Until I met you!"
Suddenly, Jiang Meng gripped Xiao Chen’s hand tightly and said, "Promise me, if I ever do something wrong, you have to tell me.
I don’t want to lose you over misunderstandings between us, over small conflicts!"
"Then you must also promise me, just be yourself, don’t change for me.
Whatever you become, as long as it’s not a matter of principle, I will love you for a lifetime!"
Xiao Chen hugged Jiang Meng and spoke deeply.
"But still, I will become stronger!
I don’t want to lose to any woman!
Especially the ones who like you!"
Jiang Meng clenched her fist and said, "I want to become even more outstanding than Di Tianjiao. Only that way, will I be confident standing by your side.
And make the whole world envy you because of me!"
"Good! I support you!"
Xiao Chen stroked Jiang Meng’s nose and smiled, saying, "Go to work with peace of mind. In this world, no one can take me away from you.
Not even Mr. King Yama!"
"Mm!"
Jiang Meng nodded and turned back to her office.
The arrival of Di Tianjiao had indeed disturbed Jiang Meng’s heart, but it also made her stronger and more dedicated.
Xiao Chen went up to the rooftop, sat at the highest point, and lit a cigarette, overlooking the whole of Tianhai City as if the whole land were in his grasp.
The phone rang.
It was Hong Yi.
"Boss, Di Tianjiao might be in danger!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen abruptly stubbed out his cigarette, his eyes showing a hint of coldness.
Although he couldn’t marry Di Tianjiao, deep down, he had come to see her like his own younger sister.
Whoever dares to harm her, he will make sure they die!
"What’s going on?"
He asked.
"Di Tianjiao was targeted as soon as she left the Capital City."
Hong Yi said, "We got the news from the Jianghu Teahouse in the Capital City."
"I see!"
Xiao Chen said, "Keep an eye on it!"
He knew that Di Tianjiao’s bodyguards were strong—they were two Martial Arts Grandmasters.
And not just any grandmasters, but the strongest ones.
As the President of Empire Group, countless people were watching her; if her bodyguards weren’t powerful, she probably would’ve died long ago.
Under normal circumstances, there definitely wouldn’t be any issues.
But what if the enemy employed a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain or made a noise in the east and struck in the west?
Better safe than sorry!
Precautions must be taken!
He dialed Ghost Blade’s cell phone, "Take eighteen members of the Tiangang Team to protect Di Tianjiao. Remember, if anything happens, try to stall for time.
I will get there as fast as I can!"
There might be many who would attempt to act against Di Tianjiao.
It could be Di Tianjiao’s rivals;
Or someone intending to frame the Xiao Family from Jiangnan;
Of course, it could also be that Satan hidden in the mist, scheming across the world!
But no matter who it was, he couldn’t let anything happen to Di Tianjiao.
Back at her hotel, Di Tianjiao cried bitterly, her mind somewhat dazed.
Brother Chen, it really was Brother Chen.
But he had rejected her, choosing Jiang Meng who was inferior to her in every aspect.
She was heartbroken, yet she did not know what to do.
Should she really be unscrupulous for the sake of Xiao Chen?
If so, Xiao Chen would not be happy, and in the end, it would only drive them further apart.
Her words were just spoken in anger.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
Di Tianjiao had completely lost her usual confidence and decisiveness; right now, she felt helpless.
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
She didn’t want to answer, but the phone kept ringing.
She frowned and finally answered it.
On the other end of the phone came Xiao Chen’s familiar voice, "Jiaojiao, Jiang Meng was there during the day, so it wasn’t appropriate for me to speak to you.
Come to the address I’ve sent you.
I want to have a good look at my beloved little pride.
Remember, come alone, don’t bring your bodyguards. I don’t want anyone else to see us together!
There won’t be any danger, I can protect you! Just like I did when we were kids!"
Di Tianjiao suddenly felt revived.
Her heart uncontrollably started pounding.
She did not doubt the authenticity of the phone call, nor did she question why Xiao Chen’s attitude had changed so drastically.
She did not question why Xiao Chen told her not to bring the bodyguards.
Her mind was completely filled with thoughts of Xiao Chen, entirely forgetting to think.
After wiping away her tears, she touched up her makeup and then left the room, telling her bodyguards, "Don’t follow me.
I’m just going out for a bit; nothing will happen."
The bodyguards naturally were reluctant; after all, protecting Di Tianjiao was their responsibility.
"If you keep following me, be careful, I might just jump off this building. Since Brother Chen doesn’t like me, I might as well be dead."
Her words frightened the bodyguards, leaving them no choice but to relent.
Di Tianjiao seized the opportunity and drove away.
By the time the bodyguards chased after her, the car was already out of sight.
