Shocking! The seemingly useless ex-wife is actually an all-around queen!

Chapter 347: A Trip to Zheng Family Castle!

Tina is a person who always sees things through.

She already felt somewhat guilty for not telling Jiang Ning the truth about Xu Zhizhou, and naturally she had to keep her promise to Jiang Ning.

Si Huashang.

Upon hearing the name, Xu Zhizhou paused for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know it."

Upon hearing this, Tina breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Si Huashang and Xu Zhizhou are not the same person.

But Tina was still a little uneasy. "Madam, are you sure you don't recognize him?"

“Yes.” Xu Zhizhou nodded. “I don’t know him.”

After finishing his sentence, Xu Zhizhou added, "However, I do find this name quite familiar."

just like.

I've heard it somewhere before.

"Why don't you think about it again?" Tina then suggested.

Xu Zhizhou shook his head, then said, "It's probably a character from some book, I just confused them."

Besides making desserts, Xu Zhizhou also enjoys reading books in his spare time.

From world-renowned classics to the like.

She enjoys reading everything, from romance novels to anything else.

Si Huashang's name sounds so beautiful, she must be the protagonist in the book.

"Oh, I see," Tina breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xu Zhizhou, and continued, "Madam, you don't look well. Would you like me to prescribe some medicine for you?"

"No need," Xu Zhizhou shook his head. "The pine needles have already bloomed."

"You've already been prescribed it?" Tina then asked, "What medicine did Songluo prescribe for you? Can I take a look?"

Logically speaking, someone with Songluo's medical skills should improve day by day once she prescribes medicine.

However, Xu Zhizhou's complexion has gradually worsened in recent days.

Xu Zhizhou looked at Tina, "Songluo always delivers the medicine herself when it's time, I don't have any here."

"Did Songluo say what symptoms you have now?" Tina asked again.

“It’s a precursor to schizophrenia,” Xu Zhizhou replied.

Many early signs of schizophrenia are severe depression.

Xu Zhizhou has a history of depression.

Upon hearing this, Tina didn't think much of it. She and Songluo were friends, and she trusted Songluo's character.

So Tina instructed, "Madam, you must take your medicine on time and get plenty of rest!"

"Ok."

"Then I won't disturb your rest any longer."

After saying that, Tina turned and left Xu Zhizhou's room.

After Tina left, Xu Zhizhou lay down on the bed to rest.

Not long after lying down, Xu Zhizhou drifted off to sleep.

She had a dream.

It was a terrifying dream.

In my dream, everything was pitch black, so dark that I couldn't see my own hand in front of my face.

All that could be heard were the cries of babies all around.

"Waaaaah..."

Then came the man's painful cry, "Hua Chang!"

And there were the heart-wrenching cries of an old man, "Hua Chang, my son, where are you?!"

"Magnificent attire!"

"Magnificent attire!!!"

A variety of sounds intertwined.

Then the screen changed.

She saw herself inside a church.

The stranger placed his hand in another man's hand. "Our father died early, and Huashang is our only sister. She has been pampered since childhood. She traveled thousands of miles for love. Don't let her down."

Another man walked over.

"If you dare to bully my sister, my eldest brother, my six younger brothers, and I won't let you off easy!"

In his dream, Xu Zhizhou couldn't see their faces clearly.

She strained to open her eyes wide, but at that moment, the solemn church transformed into a terrifying behemoth with its gaping maw, swallowing everyone whole.

this moment!

Everyone's face was a bloody mess.

"what!!!"

Xu Zhizhou woke up from a nightmare with a cold sweat on his face.

My heart is beating very fast.

thump!

thump--

“Si Huashang,” Xu Zhizhou raised his hand to press his temples, his face pale, “Who exactly is Si Huashang!”

Why, why can't she remember anything?

Xu Zhizhou slapped his head, feeling as if his brain was about to explode.

--

Here.

After Tina returned to the infirmary, she started calling Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning answered quickly.

"Hello."

“Miss Jiang, I am Tina,” Tina introduced herself and got straight to the point. “I just asked our lady, and she said she doesn’t know Si Huashang.”

Since Xu Zhizhou didn't know Si Huashang, the task Jiang Ning had given her was now complete.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's voice again, Tina finally felt no longer guilty.

Otherwise, she always felt guilty for hiding Xu Zhizhou's true appearance from Jiang Ning.

I don't know him...

It would be a lie to say that Jiang Ning wasn't disappointed upon hearing this.

However, she was not discouraged.

"Okay, thank you, Miss Tina."

"You're too kind, Miss Jiang."

After hanging up with Tina, Jiang Ning made a video call to Shi Nanxing.

The fact that neither Madam Shi nor Madam Si knew the Zheng family only proves that the three families had no long-standing feud.

The absence of a blood feud does not mean the absence of personal grudges.

just in case.

Is it a love triangle or a feud?

Shi Nanxing just came out of the conference room.

"Sheng Bao."

"Dad, are you busy?" Jiang Ning asked.

“No rush,” Shi Nanxing continued, “Recently, we received news from the Nanshan Rescue Station that someone’s information matches your mother’s perfectly. I’m planning to go and take a look.”

Jiang Ning immediately asked, "Really? Do you have any photos?"

“There are photos, but the person was burned and their facial features are disfigured, so you can’t recognize them anymore. The forensic results have been done, but they haven’t come back yet.” Although the chances of that person being Si Huashang were slim, Shi Nanxing still decided to go and take a look.

just in case.

That's Si Huashang!

Since waking up, Shi Nanxing has never given up searching for Si Huashang.

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "Then please remember to let me know as soon as you have any news."

"Ok."

Jiang Ning continued, "By the way, Dad, I have a question for you."

"Shengbao, ask away."

"Do you know Zheng Xiangqian?" Jiang Ning asked.

Zheng Xiangqian?

Shi Nanxing thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't know him."

I don't know him...

Jiang Ning frowned slightly.

He doesn't even know Shi Nanxing, so we need to rule out any romantic entanglements?

But both blood feuds and personal grudges have been ruled out.

What reason could the Zheng family possibly have to imprison Si Huashang for twenty years?

Or.

Was your judgment flawed from the very beginning?

Xu Zhizhou and Si Huashang had no relationship from the beginning.

Shi Nanxing then asked, "Shengbao, what's wrong with Zheng Xiangqian? Did he bully you?"

“No,” Jiang Ning said with a smile, “I just met the Zheng family abroad, so I was just asking.”

Shi Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, Shengbao, Daddy will talk to you later. I need to take a plane to Nanshan right away."

"Okay, go ahead and have a safe journey."

Goodbye, Shengbao.

Goodbye, Dad.

Shi Nanxing hung up the phone.

Looking at the video call that had been disconnected, Jiang Ning fell into deep thought again.

It seems.

We need to find a way to go to Zheng Family Castle.

or.

We obtained the surveillance footage from Zheng Family Castle.

She needed to meet Xu Zhizhou in person.

Thinking this, Jiang Ning put her phone back where it was, went to her computer desk, switched to her main account, and began searching for the surveillance system of the Zheng Family Castle.

A few hours later.

Jiang Ning released the mouse.

We have reached a conclusion.

No surveillance cameras were installed inside Zheng Family Castle.

In an era where surveillance systems are so advanced, there are surprisingly no surveillance cameras installed inside Zheng Family Castle.

This further suggests that there are shady dealings within the Zheng Family Castle.

the other side.

Windsor Castle.

Will is video chatting.

"Ninth Master, I recently met a very special girl."

On the other end of the video call, the man, dressed in a suit and tie, had a angular face with no expression. In response to Will's words, he simply said one word, "Hmm."

This person is no one else.

It was Shen Jingnian.

Several years ago, Shen Jingnian saved Will's life while he was in the peacekeeping force. Since then, Will, the troublemaker who doesn't respect anyone, only respects Shen Jingnian!

“Ninth Master, don’t be so cold,” Will said, resting his chin on his hands. “What do you think I can do to get her to accept me?”

"You like her that much?" Shen Jingnian's thin lips parted slightly.

"It's not that I really like her, I just want to conquer her," Will didn't know how to describe the feeling, "Anyway, I just want to get her!"

Speaking of which, Will continued, "Forget it, Ninth Master, you're a single dog yourself, what kind of advice can you give me?"

"Who said I'm single?" Shen Jingnian glanced at Will and became more talkative. "My girlfriend is the most beautiful woman in the universe!"

Although he had promised Jiang Ning to keep it a secret.

But Will's connections in China are not interconnected, so it doesn't matter to him if he knows about this.

Moreover, Shen Jingnian always felt something was missing if he didn't flaunt having a girlfriend.

The most beautiful woman in the universe?

girlfriend????

Will jumped up from the sofa. "Ninth Master! You have a girlfriend??? When did this happen? Didn't you say before that you wouldn't get married?"

How come you suddenly have a girlfriend?

Will felt like he was dreaming!

He simply couldn't imagine what kind of girl could be worthy of Shen Jingnian.

In Will's eyes, Shen Jingnian was a god.

Back then, Will was trapped in the enemy camp and was prepared to sacrifice himself. But at this moment, Shen Jingnian almost appeared out of nowhere, leading him to break through the encirclement and survive!

What Will admired even more was that Shen Jingnian was already a legend in the military at that time, but he was able to retire without hesitation at the peak of his career and turn to the financial industry. Will thought that his personality was not suitable for business, but unexpectedly, he not only entered the financial industry smoothly, but also sat at the top of the pyramid.

"I did say I wouldn't get married," Shen Jingnian said in a low voice.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Will squinted. "So you're trying to harass her?? I remember you used to scoff at my idea of ​​dating but not getting married!"

Shen Jingnian used to warn Will not to mess around outside, and that all relationships that are not aimed at marriage are just playing around.

But now.

He started acting like a hooligan himself.

Sure enough, all men are the same.

Shen Jingnian said, slowly and deliberately, "I can marry into your family."

Marrying into another's family is not the same as marrying a wife!

Shen Jingnian had thought it over carefully. Jiang Ning said she wouldn't get married, but she didn't say she wouldn't find a son-in-law to live with her family. And he just happened to be that son-in-law!

Will's eyes widened, his gaze filled with shock.

Bringing in a wife?

"Ninth Master, you must be joking."

joke.

It must be a joke.

How could someone like Shen Jingnian marry into a family?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

“I’m not kidding,” Shen Jingnian said. “There’s nothing shameful about marrying into a family! If girls can get married, why can’t men marry into families? Don’t put any prejudice on marrying into a family.”

Shen Jingnian felt that as long as Jiang Ning agreed to marry into his family, it would be an incredibly good deal for him.

Will swallowed hard. "I really want to know what kind of person your girlfriend is!"

She's practically turned Shen Jingnian into a mentally challenged fool.

Could the other person be some kind of celestial being?

"Ninth Master, who is your girlfriend? Do I know her?"

“She’s also Chinese, you don’t know her.” At this point, Shen Jingnian added, “My girlfriend is very low-key and doesn’t want to make our relationship public, so don’t go around telling everyone that I’m not single.”

Although Will's connections are not with China, Jiang Ning is in P country.

Shen Jingnian was afraid that Jiang Ning would be angry if she found out about this.

Shen Jingnian's girlfriend doesn't want to go public with their relationship?

Will narrowed his eyes, sensing that things might not be that simple.

Normally, if you have a boyfriend like Shen Jingnian, you should immediately go public and declare yourself the official girlfriend. After all, someone like Shen Jingnian is never short of women around him.

Having a boyfriend like Shen Jingnian usually puts a lot of pressure on the woman, and she also feels extremely insecure.

Only by making their relationship public can they protect their own interests.

and so.

According to Will's analysis, it's not that Shen Jingnian's girlfriend didn't want to go public, but that Shen Jingnian himself didn't want to go public.

If it's made public, how will I be able to flirt with girls outside?

I never expected Shen Jingnian to be so cunning!

Will smiled and looked at Shen Jingnian, "Okay, Ninth Master, I understand, I understand, I understand everything! Your relationship is a secret known only to heaven, earth, you, me, and your girlfriend! Nobody else knows!"

Shen Jingnian nodded slightly.

Will continued, "Ninth Master, now that even you're not single, what am I supposed to do? You haven't taught me how to win that girl over yet!"

"Wait for me a moment," Shen Jingnian said.

“Okay.” Will nodded.

Soon, Shen Jingnian returned with a book titled "A Random Walk Down Wall Street".

"Do you really want to win her over?" Shen Jingnian asked.

“Yes.” Will’s eyes gleamed with determination.

Once you catch them, shake them off!

of course.

He dared not say that.

If he said that out loud, Shen Jingnian definitely wouldn't share his experience with him.

Shen Jingnian flipped through a few pages of the book and then said, "In our China, there's an idiom called 'to let go in order to catch someone.' For the next few days, send someone to deliver a bouquet of flowers to her every morning for seven consecutive days. Then, suddenly stop on the eighth day. She will naturally contact me on her own initiative."

Upon hearing this, Will's eyes lit up instantly. "Ninth Master! You're amazing!"

"It's what the book taught me," Shen Jingnian said modestly.

Will squinted and said in confusion, "That's strange. I've read 'A Random Walk Down Wall Street' before! How come I didn't know it taught how to woo girls?"

"A Random Walk Down Wall Street" is clearly a finance book.

Shen Jingnian glanced at Will and said inscrutably, "A thousand readers will have a thousand Hamlets, that's the difference between you and me."
