Rolling love Chapter 66

Chapter 66

" Go back to the hospital.”

The driver started the car.The curtains on the second floor window were lifted. Yan Liang was standing there. She quietly watched as Jiang Yu Nan’s car left the Xu house. Then she turned around and looked at the deserted bedroom. Suddenly the joy of victory dissipated from her heart , it only felt empty.

So far, she hadn’t heard anything from Jiang Yu Nan.

The disrupted wedding banquet became the focus of the media. The news of Lu Zheng’s hospitalisation spread like wildfire, but many news outlets also photographed an unidentified woman who frequently visited Lu Zheng at the hospital. This was the reason attributed to Lu Zheng’s indifferent att.i.tude and added colour and suspense to the entire saga.

In fact, the news was released by Yan Liang to the media. While the photos were pixelated, but people familiar with Yan Liang would recognise her.
In this way, she wanted to challenge the limits of someone without a direct attack.

Nearly half a month after the incident of lu Zheng, with the help of Ming Ting Group,Liang Ruiqiang finally accepted Yan Liang’s proposal. Yan Liang, accompanied by Zhou Cheng went to New York to meet Liang Ruiqiang.

After a secret signing , the name of the company in collaboration with Liang Ruiqiang was formally established as J'appelle.
Everything was now ready, all they had to do no was to wait for the enemy to fall in the trap.
Finally, Yan Liang received Jiang Yu Nan’s phone call. When she saw the caller ID on the phone, her heart skipped a beat.

“It’s me,” he said.

She wasn’t sure if the connection was bad or there was some other reason, but in this short sentence, it sounded as if the man was very tired.
Because of this, Yan Liang froze for three seconds before answering , " I thought you intended to disappear completely."

"Oh.." Jiang Yu Nan laughed coldly.

The laugh jolted Yan Liang, she realised it was just her illusion, his tone only had a hint of callousness, where were there any signs of fatigue ?

And what he said next, it didn’t have the slightest trace of feeling , " I just called to say that our previous agreement is null and void as of today."

..called to say..

…null and void..

" You..", Yan Liang had just uttered this one word when the phone was abruptly disconnected on the other end.

Jiang Yu Nan’s next step would be to allow Jiang Shi Jun to dismantle Xu

Or would they report Zhou Cheng to the police ?

Yu Nan would answer all her questions with practical action..
The next day Jiang Shi Jun announced the convening of an emergency board meeting.

When Yan Liang saw the looks between the board of directors and Jiang Shi Jin , she had an inkling of what was going to happen next.

Sure enough, Yan Liang finally heard from Jiang Shi Jun the words she had been looking forward to for the last few months, " This emergency meeting is to announce some good news. Liang Ruiqiang of the Liang consortium intends to take over all the brands of Xu, including Ya Yan, secret, skin key …all the ten sub brands."

As he finished his sentence, all the directors were stunned and naturally looked at Yan Liang sympathetically.

" Of course," Jiang Shi Jun pointedly looked at Yan Liang, " I expect some people to oppose this when we put this to vote in the general meeting."
Under his watchful eyes, Yan Liang made every effort to keep her face expressionless, and not laugh out in joy.
After the meeting, Yan Liang was the first to get up from her seat. As she walked through the room, some people looked at her sympathetically, but it was worrying that some were simply indifferent.

When she returned to her office, she closed the door and immediately placed a call to Zhou Cheng to tell him the good news.

As she called, she didn’t expect the call to be picked up so quickly. She was in an ecstatic mood. In a low voice so she wouldn’t be heard outside , she exclaimed, " The old fox has finally taken the bait."

The response on the other end was not expected, Zhou Cheng did not seem excited, but his short silence seemed lonely. Finally, he said, " Yan Liang."
Zhou Cheng uttered her name solemnly, as if he wanted her to calm down before he said the next words.
" I have been arrested by the police."
( Miumiu : sorry but I have zero sympathy for you. You knowingly fudged the records for a b**tch just because of some wrong headed notion of love.)

…… …

…… …

Yan Liang kept holding the handset for a long time. In her ear, the monotonous and harsh sounds of the busy tone continued to reverberate.

Her secretary knocked at the door, and panicked when seeing her in this condition. " Ms Yan!"

Yan Liang was pulled out from her reverie and looked up to see her.
" I just received a call from the police station. They want to speak to you. I wanted to transfer the call, I wasn’t sure if you were in," the secretary looked at her holding the phone , " but your line was busy."
" What’s up?"
Yan Liang’s voice now was completely different . The exhilaration she had felt earlier had disappeared and had been replaced with panic.

The secretary seemed to realise that Yan Liang was scared . She gulped and continued, " The call was from the Economic Crimes investigation department. They received an anonymous report , supposedly from a Xu staff, reporting the misappropriation of company funds two years ago. Since you are a high level manager in Xu, they expect your co operation in this matter."

"……" “…”

"……" “…”

" Tell them that I am in a business trip and can’t be contacted", Yan Liang thought for a long time and finally said.
The secretary was in a dilemma, but Yan Liang reiterated, " Tell them this, now you leave."

Clearly she found it difficult, but she obeyed Yan Liang and left.

Although the quietude should be conducive to thinking, Yan Liang’s mind was completely blank. Instead of coming up with a mitigating plan, she subconsciously reached for her phone to dial a specific number.

As she was about to dial the last digit, she suddenly paused. Did she really think if she called him now, Jiang Yu Nan would show her some mercy ?
No..at most, he would ridicule her and create further damage.

The last sentence Zhou Cheng said before he disconnected the phone echoed in her ears: Yan Liang, my parents are not aware of this incident, I have no other request, I just want you to help me hide this from them …

Must hide this from them…

Thinking of this Yan Liang hung up the phone, and instead dialled the number of the landline of their New Zealand house.
The phone was picked up by Aunt Liang.

For a long time, Aunt Liang had not heard from Yan Liang , so it was no wonder she was very happy to hear from her :" Yan Liang , you finally thought of us,your mother and I miss you.."
Yan Liang interrupted her, " Aunt Liang, I needed a favour."

"……" “…”

"……" “…”

Her tone was dead serious, and there was something hidden in her voice. Aunt Liang’s voice also turned solemn, " No problem, tell me what happened."
" Zhou Cheng had an accident , his parents must not know. Please invite Uncle and Aunt to New Zealand on behalf of my mother as soon as possible."
"Ok, I’ll call Zhou."
Yan Liang hung up .

To save Zhou Cheng, did she have to destroy Xu ?
Jiang Yu Nan - you have indeed forced me to make a cruel choice.

In the name of Liang Ruiqiang, J'appelle and Li Bo were engaged in an orderly manner. Jiang Shi Jun’s asking price was USD 2.56 billion, once she hired a professional manager to lower the price to two billion, she would have won all the Xu brands.

On the other hand, the economic crimes wing was busily collecting evidence, but as Yan Liang refused to co operate, the police failed to contact the key personnel in Xu and this delayed their case.

She knew now that Jiang Yu Nan was the mastermind behind the scenes that year. So, what was he up to now ? Where was he hiding ?

Was he thinking of how to punish his disobedient wife, or was he thinking of the best way to end the failed marriage ?

It was a silent night.

Yan Liang was in the throes of a nightmare. In the last scene , she was in the trial court, and Zhou Aunt was crying and cursing her, " You are the reason my son is in jail."

She suddenly woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she was lying in her own bed, a thin film of sweat over her forehead.
As she became aware of her surroundings , she found him sitting alone on the bed.
She wondered how long the man had been sitting there, watching her quietly.
And as she looked in his eyes, she noticed..in his eyes the emotion that was reflected…was of tremendous sadness..

For a moment, they looked in each other’s eyes. Then he quickly withdrew his gaze, and Yan Liang put up all her defences.
She sat up from the bed and sneered at him, " Jiang Yu Nan, you finally decided to appear ?"

Jiang Yu Nan was silent. He looked at her expressionlessly, then lay down on the other side of the bed and closed his eyes.
