Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 379: He Severed Xu Manman’s Tendons

This is getting a bit serious, Xu Qinghuan hurriedly sought help.

Shen Xiuqin pretended not to see it, Huo Zui and Huo Chi were also lacking in loyalty, Huo Zhenqing sat upright, as if he hadn’t heard anything.

Everyone else could pretend to be dead, except Jiang Xingye.

"Grandma Huo, we also have our own considerations. They are coming for us. Hiding behind the Huo Family can only work temporarily. They could use my grandparents to threaten us. What about then?"

"They dare!" Huo Fuhai thundered.

But Grandma Huo’s tone had softened, "You should inform your family instead of making decisions on your own. If it wasn’t for Huo Chi returning, we wouldn’t even know you had come to Yan City."

Huo Chi and Xu Qinghuan arrived close together.

The people inside were about to speak when Aunt saw people standing in the yard through the window, "Oh dear, we have unexpected guests!"

She raised her voice, to alert those inside.

Shen Xiuqin hurried to greet them, but when she saw Jiang Yulan, she froze for a moment. Upon seeing the tightly wrapped Jiang Chengxu, she was so startled that she took two steps back.

Xu Qinghuan rose to her feet seeing the visitors, her face suddenly darkened, "Grandma, yet another big problem has arrived."

"What are you afraid of!"

Seeing Huo Fuhai present, Jiang Yulan dared not be reckless. Introducing the people on both sides, "Old man, this is my nephew Jiang Chengxu. Speaking of which, he has a deep connection with Xu Qinghuan; they were engaged back then."

Huo Chi said discontentedly, "You mentioned ’back then.’ The engagement has long since been called off. Do you keep bringing this up to let others know my sister isn’t interested in your nephew?"

Shen Xiuqin pretended to reprimand, "Shut up, do you have any manners? This kid dares to speak the truth so openly!"

"The best ex is like they have died!" Xu Qinghuan said, "Jiang Chengxu, did you tell your family you married Xu Manman and even had a child together, only to have a miscarriage?"

"No, I never married Xu Manman. From beginning to end, the only person I loved was you, the only one in my heart is you."

Jiang Chengxu’s voice had a sharpness beneath its hoarseness, like the call of a vulture swooping low to snatch food.

And the words he spoke made Xu Qinghuan’s skin crawl with goosebumps.

Huo Zui sneered, mocking, "If you love someone, should they reciprocate? How much is your love worth?"

Jiang Yulan laughed, "We’re not here to discuss that today. Xu Zhuqing is already engaged to someone else. We certainly wouldn’t stoop to that level. Chengxu had an incident; if it weren’t for Xu Zhuqing’s affection for past ties, he’d fear he’d have lost his life today."

Jiang Chengxu gazed at Xu Qinghuan with fervor, while she moved closer into Jiang Xingye’s embrace, her back against his chest, his fingers gently holding hers, reducing that sense of dread slightly.

"To reach the ultimate benevolence, Xu Zhuqing, we know you are a capable person. In front of your fiancé, there are words I shouldn’t say, but the fact remains, a night’s husband and wife’s hundred days of grace; you once were an engaged couple, surely you wouldn’t bear to see Chengxu suffering like this for a lifetime?"

Xu Qinghuan picked up the teacup in front of her and splashed it directly at Jiang Yulan, drenching her face, "If you can’t speak properly, just be mute. Who are you slandering? What affection for past ties? I acted back then because I didn’t want to see him die in the Shangjiang Team; there were too many entanglements."

His pain has nothing to do with me. Your hundred days of grace belief, if you keep spewing dung here, I’ll make sure you end today as someone else’s wife!"

Jiang Yulan remained composed, she smiled a little, pulled out a handkerchief, and meticulously tidied herself, "Xu Zhuqing, no matter how much you deny it, there’s something you can’t refute; you and Chengxu were once engaged."

Let’s not mention it, even if it’s an irrelevant person; if he ends up like this and asks for your help, you can’t just ignore him, right?"

"How would you help, and how would you care?" Huo Zui said coldly, "You folks shamelessly latch on even when ignored; if shown care, how far would you climb?"

Huo Chi said, "Exactly, I’ve seen shameless before, but never this shameless."

Jiang Yulan wanted to say more, but Huo Fuhai interrupted, "Aren’t you the daughter-in-law of the Yue Family? Get the decision-maker of the Yue Family to talk to us. Our Huo Family’s daughters are not your place to boss around, what kind of propriety is this!"

With that, he stood up.

Jiang Yulan was taken aback, not expecting the old man to act this way, she hurriedly bowed, "Yes, I thought this kind of trivial matter of the young ones could be explained clearly with a few words; didn’t think much."

Grandma Huo was furious, "You thought? I bet you thought my family Qinghuan was easy to bully because she’s young? You assumed it was just a few words, yet you want to smear filth on our heads, and still think it’s just a matter of words?"

Huo Fuhai picked up the phone, making a call in front of Jiang Yulan, "For this matter, let’s ask Old Yue if this was his intention?"

Jiang Yulan panicked, almost kneeling, "No, old man, please have mercy, don’t disturb my father-in-law, his health is poor..."

But it was too late, the call had already been connected.

Jiang Yulan closed her eyes as despair flooded her heart.

A few short words later, the other party began apologizing to Huo Fuhai, praised Xu Qinghuan a great deal, and finally promised that such a thing would never happen again.

Shen Xiuqin politely escorted Jiang Yulan and the others out. At the gate, Jiang Yulan was still relentless, "Sister Shen, we have no choice; my brother only has Chengxu as a child, he’s in such a state, his life would be a torment; if Xu Zhuqing could lend a hand, everything would be negotiable."

Shen Xiuqin laughed, "Listen to you, if she had that ability, without us asking, she’d surely do it. Since she treated before, it must be that this is the best step she reached; you see, the child is young and her capabilities are limited, as elders we shouldn’t overly burden her."

In the car, Jiang Yulan asked Shao Qiyun, "What did the doctors in Shen City say?"

Shao Qiyun replied, "The doctors said if it hadn’t been treated by an expert before, Chengxu wouldn’t even be able to drink water now, he would have been long dead. They also said since there was such a skilled doctor then, why didn’t she take a look at him altogether."

Jiang Chengxu was extremely resentful, his neck couldn’t turn, but he stubbornly kept his gaze on the little building behind them.

If he hadn’t broken off the engagement with Xu Qinghuan, he wouldn’t be in his current position.

Throughout his life, he’s hated three people, Shao Qiyun, Xu Manman, and Xu Qinghuan.

Liu Qidong brought Xu Manman over, kept her in Song Wanlin’s old house, and after contacting Jiang Chengxu, he handed the key to Jiang Chengxu, "Quickly take her away, return the key afterward."

Xu Manman was tightly bound, writhing like a worm on the ground. Upon seeing Jiang Chengxu enter, she used the strength of her waist to lift her upper body, her mouth stuffed with a rag from which sound only emerged from her throat, her large eyes full of terror.

Jiang Chengxu removed the rag, and she let out continuous screams.

Jiang Chengxu wiped the sharp blade edge with his only remaining intact finger, warm light danced upon it and quickly turned icy, chilling Xu Manman to her core.

"You are... Jiang Chengxu?"

Months barely surviving in the depths of the mountains, yet never has there been a moment that filled her with fear more than now.

Jiang Chengxu smiled slightly before stuffing the rag back into her mouth, seemingly to simply hear his name from her lips.

He severed the tendons in Xu Manman’s hands and feet.
