NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 147
Chapter 147: I am Dignigied Female Killer, and You Want Me to Wear Black Silk?
At Crouching Dragon Villa.
After parking the car, Jiang Che firmly escorted Ji Menglan into the living room. She didn’t resist, or perhaps she didn’t dare to.
“Master, why is this sister here again?” In the living room, Ah Qing looked at Ji Menglan with some confusion. Wasn’t this the young master’s previous patient? Could she have relapsed?
“She will be staying here for a while. Her condition has flared up again, and I need to treat her.” Jiang Che glanced at Ji Menglan and said lightly. Until he dealt with Chu Tian, Jiang Che had no plans to let her go due to the many uncertainties in the plot.
“Ding, the host has disrupted the encounter between Ji Menglan and Chu Tian, altered the plot, and earned 2000 villain points.”
“You’ll stay with me for the next few days, and I’ll treat you whenever I’m free.”
“Ah qing, show her around the villa, explain where she can and cannot go, and go over the Jiang family rules with her.” With that, Jiang Che got up and left, planning to have Chu Tian’s apartment demolished.
Ji Menglan’s cultivation had been sealed by Jiang Che, so he wasn’t worried about her harming Ah Qing.
“Okay, young master.” As Jiang Che’s figure disappeared from sight, Ah Qing turned to Ji Menglan with curiosity.
“Sister, do you have some kind of illness?”
“I’m not sick!” Ji Menglan replied, exasperated. Jiang Che was making up stories; there was nothing wrong with her.
“Then why did my young master say you are sick?” Ah Qing asked, puzzled, her eyes full of confusion.
“He’s a quack!” Ji Menglan said disdainfully, regretting ever provoking Jiang Che. Now she couldn’t even run away.
Ah Qing nodded thoughtfully but said no more.
“The Jiang family doesn’t have many rules, except you must wear silk stockings when seeing the young master.”
“What did you say?” Ji Menglan was stunned, looking at Ah Qing in disbelief. Was this the so-called rule?
“The young master prefers this… You’ll be part of our family soon, so naturally, you should cater to his preferences.” Ah Qing smiled, already considering Ji Menglan as part of the family.
Besides Shen Qingqiu and Zhou Lingxi, she hadn’t seen any other woman Jiang Che brought home. Moreover, she had heard from the young master that both Shen Qingqiu and Zhou Lingxi were his women.
Ah Qing had no jealousy in her heart; she knew her place. Everything she had was given by Jiang Che. Having more sisters wasn’t a bad thing; sometimes Jiang Che was too overwhelming…
“Who is your family? I was kidnapped by Jiang Che!” Ji Menglan emphasized.
“Okay, I know. Let’s get you changed.” Ah Qing didn’t argue further, taking Ji Menglan’s arm and leading her upstairs.
In a bedroom on the second floor.
“You want me to wear this?” Ji Menglan’s mouth twitched as she looked at the various stockings and short skirts Ah Qing had pulled from the closet.
She was a dignified female assassin, a master, how could she wear such clothes?
“If you don’t, be prepared for the young master’s treatment.” Ah Qing kindly reminded her. She had noticed that Ji Menglan wasn’t actually sick. She was probably forced into treatment by Jiang Che, just like herself, under the guise of promoting blood circulation and removing stasis.
“Hmph, I won’t wear it.” Ji Menglan snorted coldly and turned away. She’d rather be treated by Jiang Che than wear such clothes!
After all, Jiang Che’s treatments did make her feel something different, but her conservative nature made wearing these clothes unbearable.
Seeing Ji Menglan’s reaction, Ah Qing shook her head but said nothing more. She had once resisted too, but eventually gave in. Ji Menglan’s resistance was only a matter of time. After she stayed at the Jiang family for a week, she’d wear it herself without Jiang Che needing to say a word…
After all, it did feel nice when the young master activated blood and removed stasis…
Blushing at the thought, Ah Qing quickly shook her head to clear her mind, “Okay, I won’t force you. Let me show you around the villa.” Ah Qing said, walking out of the bedroom with her legs wrapped in white silk.
Ji Menglan hesitated but followed, thinking it wise to familiarize herself with the villa in case she needed to escape.
After leaving Crouching Dragon Villa, Jiang Che drove towards the Jiang family compound. When he got there, only his mother was there. It was Sunday, and she was enjoying a rare break, discussing interesting things over tea with her friends in the garden.
“Mom, I’m back.” Jiang Che announced as he approached after the servant informed her of his arrival.
“Why are you here?” Su Shanshan looked at Jiang Che, confused. Her son usually didn’t come home unless something was wrong. What had he done this time?
“I missed you, so I came to see you.” Jiang Che said with a smile, sitting across from her.
“Just tell me what you need. If I can’t solve it, I’ll get your father.” She rolled her eyes at him.
“I need your help with something, mother.” Jiang Che said after a moment. Although he was the young master and future heir of the Jiang family, he had no real power yet. To demolish Chu Tian’s apartment, he needed his mother’s help.
Su Shanshan sipped her tea and waited for him to continue.
“I need a demolition order for a piece of land I’ve set my eyes on.”
“Where exactly?” She frowned, puzzled by Jiang Che’s sudden interest in such a project. Demolition is a significant undertaking, usually necessary for major developments or because the building is too old to be safe.
“An apartment in Tianyuan Community opposite of Linjiang University,” Jiang Che replied.
“Why not demolish the entire Tianyuan Community?” She asked, even more perplexed. If Jiang Che insisted on this, it would make more sense to demolish the entire community, despite the higher cost.
“But demolishing just one apartment is more complicated. We have to check if there are other buildings around, whether it’s in an open area, and so on.”
“There’s no need for that. Just demolish the apartment, and I’m not going to pay any compensation,” Jiang Che explained with a smile. Understanding his mother’s concerns, he had already inspected the surroundings of Chu Tian’s apartment. It was in a remote corner of the community, very old, without an elevator, and no other nearby floors.
The original owner couldn’t sell or rent it due to its location, so Chu Tian bought it to attract girls quickly.
“You won’t pay any compensation?” Susanshan asked, frowning. She was puzzled by her son’s intentions.
“Of course not. I have a plan,” Jiang Che said, smiling. He wasn’t foolish enough to give Chu Tian money. He intended to bribe a few authoritative experts to declare Chu Tian’s apartment an illegal structure, then have it demolished.
“This will be a bit tricky. Give me three days. I’ll get you all the necessary procedures for the demolition,” Su Shanshan said after sipping her tea. This wasn’t a trivial matter, but it wasn’t difficult for the Jiang family. The procedure was just a bit complex and needed a few days to handle.
She didn’t ask why Jiang Che wanted this done or what his plan was. He had the money, so she let him do as he pleased. After discussing the details with his mother, Jiang Che left and headed home.
“Shanshan, I didn’t expect your son to be so grown up and handsome,” a lady in a cheongsam remarked after Jiang Che left. Her words were full of admiration. Jiang Tao was known as a handsome man in Linjiang City, but Jiang Che was even more striking.
With his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his face was like a jade crown, and he carried a high aura. He possessed both a scholarly air and an indifferent demeanor, blending seamlessly.
“Growing up like this, I can’t imagine how many girls will fall for him in the future,” the lady said, shaking her head as if feeling sorry for the girls who would fall victim to Jiang Che’s charms.
“Do you fancy my son?” Su Shanshan asked playfully, pride evident in her eyes. When others praised her son, she felt a sense of pride.
“If you don’t mind… it’s not impossible…” the lady replied, smiling.
