Natural Disaster(7)

As the three proceeded to the restaurant, a loud screech rang in the sky four kilometers away. A huge building started to crumble, causing everyone in the street to panic and run away from it.

Jiang Chen was looking at the two beautiful figures who were chirping to each other from time to time. He couldn't help but smile, just thinking that he would spend his whole day playing with them. However, his smile became stiff, and his feet stopped moving because he never thought she would suddenly appear. The girls also realized that a group was blocking their way. The group consisted of twenty people, and in the center was a beautiful woman smirking and holding the arm of a man with a lascivious smile on his face.

Jiang Chen hurriedly came forward with an ugly face and said to the two, "Don't bother with them," while holding the two hands of the girls. The two were startled for a while, then nodded and quickly followed.

As Jiang Chen's party successfully bypassed the group, they let out a sigh of relief.

The woman asked the man beside her worriedly, "Are you just letting them pass like that?"

"No, but you don't have to worry. I have my plans for him," the man replied proudly while looking at the back of the two women who had just passed by. He was Lu Wei, the son of the CEO and major shareholder of A Construction Engineering Group, and also a director. The woman beside him was Jiang Chen's ex-girlfriend, Zhu Jianghu. The woman was gentle and caring when they were still together, especially in the first two years. But accidents are bound to happen. A year ago, during a company celebration dinner, his girlfriend and friends were also dining in the same restaurant.

The girl was so happy when she saw her boyfriend and immediately called for his attention. Everyone at the table was shocked by the beauty of the girl who was calling for Jiang Chen.

Lu Wei was sitting in the middle, silently staring at them. He was known for his hobby of stealing someone's girlfriend using his status and money, especially in the company. Jiang Chen was also aware of this, which is why he hurriedly dragged his girlfriend out of the restaurant.

But he had no idea that his girlfriend was already marked as the next target of Lu Wei. He never thought that merely after a month, Lu Wei would start making his move. At first, she was not swayed by Lu Wei's offensive, but in this world, money can't buy everything. When an unexpected event comes knocking at your door, you would start to hesitate, especially when your own family is at risk. Her father was diagnosed with failing kidneys and was suffering from lung cancer. She started to hesitate and think about what her future would be if she continued dating Jiang Chen. He only had a Volkswagen Passat as his car, and while they had a house located in the countryside, considering her sister was also living together with him, that house was bound to be inherited by Jiang Yan, especially since he was just an adopted son.

After her family repeatedly called and urged her to send money to cure her father, her conscience, love, and care for Jiang Yan slowly started to vanish, and reality came to her mind. She needed to find a way for her father to be cured and slowly accepted Lu Wei's offensive attack.

Jiang Chen despised Zhu Jianghu to the core, not because of the betrayal he experienced in their relationship, but because of Lu Wei's scheme to add his sister to his collection.

Jianghu's kindness towards his sister almost resulted in her being raped, as he thought she had realized her mistake and wanted to reconcile and fix their relationship. Fortunately, he discovered Lu Wei's evil plan before they could implement it. One of the reasons why he left the company and quickly returned to Q city was to avoid Lu Wei and Jianghu, and the other was his sister's entanglement with their mother's wish.

When Jiang Chen was a child, his biological parents abused and mistreated him until the age of 11. Before turning 12, he decided to run away from that so-called home or "hell."

When Jiang Chen was 15 years old, three years after running away from his abusive biological parents, he met his adoptive parents. It was then that he began to feel that he also belonged in this world. He experienced care and love from someone and slowly forgot his dark past. His shattered heart started to gradually recover, but before it could fully heal, he began to feel the long-lost pain when his mother passed away.
