Chapter 174 He won't regret giving Xiao He the chance to detoxify.
The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the gaps in the curtains.
Jiang Youli stretched, sat up from the bed, washed up quickly, and went downstairs to have breakfast.
When she reached the top of the stairs, she subconsciously looked towards the door, only to find that Jiang Xing was nowhere to be seen. She wondered how he had left last night.
However, how she left was none of her business.
She didn't care.
At this moment, Wang Ma was carrying a steaming breakfast out of the kitchen and gently placing it on the table. When she saw Jiang Youli come down, she greeted her with a smile, "Miss."
Then, as if remembering something, he added, "Oh, right, Master Jiang just sent someone to deliver something, saying that it must be given to you."
After saying that, Wang Ma turned around and walked into the living room. She took a vermilion wooden box from the coffee table and carefully placed it in front of Jiang Youli.
Jiang Youli pulled out a stool, sat down, and picked up the wooden box to open it.
Inside was a bloodied finger, with a diamond ring still on it.
"Ah!" Seeing this, Wang Ma couldn't help but scream. Terrified, her face ashen, she frantically tried to take the wooden box away and close the lid, repeatedly muttering, "Miss, don't be afraid! I'll take this horrible thing away right away to get rid of it, so it won't offend your eyes..."
However, in stark contrast to the panicked Wang Ma, Jiang Youli remained unusually calm.
She looked quietly at the wooden box in front of her and slowly said, "Aunt Wang, don't be nervous, there's nothing to be afraid of." It was as if this terrifying scene was nothing out of the ordinary for her.
Just as Wang Ma was wondering what was going on, Jiang Youli's phone rang.
She answered the call, and Jiang Yangxu's hoarse and weak voice came from the other end, "Did you see the gift I had someone send you?"
The thought that Jiang Yangxu had called her after being stabbed in the back by his handsome new father made Jiang Youli want to laugh. "You saw it? What, is it your finger? If it's your finger, then I love this gift."
A cold laugh came from the other end. "Take a closer look at whose fingers they are. You haven't been recognizing your aunt for so long. It's one thing if you can't recognize her fingers, but you can't recognize the ring she's wearing either, can you?"
If it weren't for acting, Jiang Youli would probably have burst out laughing.
The finger in the box clearly belonged to a man, and the ring wasn't the one the pretty new mother wore. Jiang Yangxu even questioned her, which suggests he hadn't even seen the finger himself before having it delivered to her.
Jiang Youli played along, deliberately using a panicked tone to ask, "Jiang Yangxu, what did you do to my mother?"
The person on the other end laughed triumphantly, "It's nothing, just a finger. You don't need to make such a fuss. She's safe and sound."
"Jiang Yangxu, what exactly do you want to do by kidnapping my mother?" Jiang Youli asked, feigning anger, while actually enjoying her toast.
Wang Ma, standing to the side, looked frightened and seemed about to say something, but Jiang Youli put a finger to her lips and made a "shh" gesture.
Only then did Wang Ma calm down.
"What I plan to do to your mother depends on your attitude," Jiang Yangxu said viciously.
Jiang Youli continued her performance, saying, "Just tell me what attitude you want from me, as long as you don't hurt my mother."
Jiang Yangxu snorted coldly and replied in a chilling tone, "First, you need to detoxify Jiang Xing, and then find a way to wake up the unconscious Jiang Zhao. As long as you accomplish these two things, your mother will be safe and sound! Otherwise, the gift you receive next time won't be as simple as a finger!"
When he said the last few words, he deliberately emphasized them, his threat evident in his words.
"Also, you'd better give up the idea of telling the old man. If you dare to tell him about this, then don't blame me for being ruthless and sorry to your mother. If you think you have enough guts, you can take a gamble with me and see who ends up being the unlucky one!"
Before Jiang Youli could say anything more, the other party hung up the phone without hesitation.
Wang Ma overheard the conversation on the other end of the phone and exclaimed in shock, "Has Second Master Jiang gone mad?! How dare he lay a hand on Madam!"
Jiang Youli gently placed her phone on the table and sneered, "He's like a cornered dog jumping over a wall, because he knows that if he sits and waits for death, he will lose everything, so he might as well take a gamble."
Wang Ma's face remained ashen, her hands unconsciously clenching the hem of her dress. She asked anxiously, "What do we do now, Miss? I didn't see Madam and Master return all night, so I assumed they were out having fun and didn't think anything of it..."
Jiang Youli reassured her, "Aunt Wang, don't worry, my mom is fine. My dad is outside with her and will be back soon."
Seeing how calm she was, Wang Ma finally felt a little relieved and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "That's fine then."
After finishing breakfast, Jiang Youli received a message from Qi Huan.
[Little Li'er, I'm coming over now.]
Jiang Youli replied to the past.
[Okay, Jiang Yangxu just called to blackmail me. I played along for a while and he got all smug. I'm really curious to see how he'll react when he finds out I tricked him.]
The other party replied with four words.
[Impotent Rage]
Jiang Youli's gaze fell on the four words Qi Huan replied with—"Impotent rage".
That's right, it's impotent rage.
Today, we're going to let Jiang Yangxu taste what true frustration is, and let him experience the feeling of impotent rage.
……
City hospital.
"Big brother." Jiang Yonghe stood up quickly when she saw Jiang Xing enter the ward. "Why did you come to the hospital to see your second brother so early this morning?"
Jiang Xing glanced at Jiang Zhao, who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, and explained, "I'm going to take Jiang Zhao back today."
Jiang Yonghe was taken aback. "Today? But Second Brother hasn't woken up yet. Why are we suddenly taking him back?"
Jiang Xing explained, "Jiang Youli said she can wake Jiang Zhao up. Dad has already figured out a way to get Jiang Youli to obediently detoxify me and wake Jiang Zhao up. In that case, you won't have to leave the Jiang family. So you can come back to the Jiang family with me later."
Jiang Zhao, who was in the hospital bed, had also woken up. Hearing his elder brother's words, he was deeply moved.
Is he finally waking up?
Very good!
He was finally able to expose Jiang Yonghe's true colors!
"Really? That's wonderful!" Jiang Yonghe excitedly grabbed Jiang Xing's arm. Suddenly, she noticed the bruise on Jiang Xing's forehead and asked with concern, "Big brother, what happened to your forehead?"
Jiang Xing looked at the worry in his adopted sister Jiang Yonghe's eyes and his heart softened. He had never seen such a look in Jiang Youli's eyes.
This is the comparison.
He has admitted his mistake and said he would try his best to make amends, but Jiang Youli just won't give him a chance.
Even when he was in so much pain in front of Jiang Youli last night, Jiang Youli was able to turn a blind eye and abandon him to fend for himself, which completely chilled his heart.
He remembered Jiang Youli telling him that he would regret choosing to give the chance to detoxify to Xiaohe.
He didn't understand why Jiang Youli would think he would regret it.
Even if he regrets it, it's only because he's suffering terribly from the poison, but definitely not because he regrets giving Xiaohe the chance to restore her appearance.
