45: Escape from prison

After Li Yiming left, everyone except Yu Mo was shocked.

Lili—Miss Jiang—was actually the owner of Louju Pavilion.

This was major news!

Moreover, Louju Pavilion rarely offered takeout.

Because Louju Pavilion's food boxes were specially customized, and a single box cost several hundred yuan.

Although people who ate at Louju Pavilion didn't care about the cost, most still preferred to dine in the restaurant.

After all, it tasted best fresh out of the pan.

Yu Mo looked at their surprised expressions and laughed heartily in her heart.

Although she had been just as surprised back then, seeing others' reactions was still hilarious.

It was a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Jiang Li and Yu Mo had already taken out the food, but the others were still dazed. "Ladies, can we eat now?"

Li Yanchu, Xia Huiyin, and Xu Ling snapped back to their senses upon hearing Jiang Li's voice.

"Lili, tell us, are you some lost daughter of a prestigious family? And the sole heir, making you a wealthy socialite worth hundreds of millions?"

Li Yanchu often read novels, so she was familiar with these tropes.

"Right, right, or maybe you saved an old lady or an old man on the street, and they turned out to be a tycoon who gave you 'hundreds of millions'?"

Xia Huiyin read novels, but not many; this plot was from a snippet she had seen before.

Jiang Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry at their words.

Although her experience was somewhat similar to a novel, it wasn't that ridiculous!

"None of the above. Are you two going to eat or not?"

Li Yanchu and Xia Huiyin realized that everyone else had already started eating.

"Wait for us! It's food from Louju Pavilion; we have to eat it."

Li Yanchu took a bite. "Mmm, so delicious. It's expensive for a reason."

Xia Huiyin said, "Exactly, it's too good. Lili, I love you to death."

Jiang Li smiled helplessly at their muffled speech.

After dinner, Xu Ling and her boyfriend, Meng Zimo, left.

Li Yanchu and Xia Huiyin were stuffed because they had eaten too much.

Jiang Li and Yu Mo were eighty percent full and were now lying in bed watching TV... Early the next morning,

Jiang Li woke up to find Li Yanchu and Xia Huiyin gone, presumably out to buy breakfast.

Seeing that Yu Mo was still asleep, she got out of bed quietly to go to the bathroom.

After coming out of the bathroom, she felt a bit stuffy and decided to leave the ward for some fresh air.

By the elevator, she thought she saw a familiar figure.

Jiang Li recognized him as the person who had saved her from Meng Man's cup of coffee at the LM Building.

Seeing this, Jiang Li immediately went over.

However, the elevator left first; he had entered and gone upstairs.

Jiang Li wanted to thank him, but another elevator door opened.

Two people stepped out.

"Big Sister, why are you out of bed? Go back quickly!"

Jiang Li saw it was Jiang Yan and Jiang Nan.

So, she was supported by the two of them back to the ward.

"What are you two doing here? Shouldn't you be at school?"

"Big Sister, how can you say that? If Jiang Nan hadn't come to school to tell me, I wouldn't even have known!" Jiang Yan looked at the gauze on Jiang Li's head, her eyes full of heartache for her sister.

Jiang Li saw Jiang Yan's eyes redden. "Xiao Yan, I'm fine. I just got hit, it's nothing."

Jiang Yan said, "Hmph, Big Sister, even if you're saving someone, you should act within your means. What if you got a concussion?"

Hearing this, Jiang Li realized her little sister's sharp tongue never disappointed.

"I know."

Jiang Yan said, "Big Sister, you must take care of your health, okay?"

"I know. You're so young, yet more nagging than me. Did you take a full day or a half-day off?"

"Half a day. We came back last night. Sister Mu Jin said it wasn't safe to come at night, and the hospital had a curfew anyway, so we came this morning."

Jiang Li asked, "I see. Have you had breakfast?"

Jiang Yan and Jiang Nan shook their heads.

Jiang Li had an "I knew it" look on her face.

She picked up her phone and messaged Li Yanchu and Xia Huiyin, asking them to buy more breakfast because her siblings were here.

Li Yanchu and Xia Huiyin received the message and ordered more.

Then they returned.

Jiang Li stayed for about a week before going home.

She just needed to apply medicine to her head regularly.

Li Yanchu suddenly had to go back, and Xia Huiyin also left after playing for two days because her mother called her home.

"Lili, we'll come to see you again next time!"

"Okay, I'll definitely arrange everything next time."

Jiang Li and Yu Mo watched the two of them enter the airport and then left as well.

"Lili, I'm heading back now. You should go home early too."

"I know."

After parting with Yu Mo, Jiang Li went to Jinlin Law Firm.

Lin Mo and Shi Muzhi were there today.

They saw Jiang Li arrive.

"Boss."

"Mm, Lin Mo, thank you for your hard work last time!" Jiang Li was referring to Guan Wen's matter.

"Boss, it's what I should do. Besides, Guan Wen got what she deserved."

Jiang Li thought that Guan Wen was Li Shuyang's unwanted admirer, a truly terrible one.

She even got injured because of it.

When Guan Wen was taken away, the surrounding crowd immediately turned on her and began cursing her.

Jiang Li was not surprised by this scene at all.

In her previous life, after her family fell into trouble, anyone on the street who recognized her would gossip.

With such gossip here, it would be rare if people didn't discuss it.

Guan Wen's matter quickly went viral online, and the Guan Family's company stock plummeted to rock bottom overnight with no sign of recovery.

Guan Wen's parents had implied that Li Shuyang was Guan Wen's boyfriend and had let their daughter do those things, never expecting retribution to come so swiftly.

"Alright, Shi Muzhi, how is the case from my hometown going?"

Shi Muzhi heard Jiang Li's question. "Boss, I helped the families injured by the Cheng Family's factory file lawsuits, and we won before long. I didn't want to disturb you while you were in the hospital. The Cheng Family's factory itself had many issues. Xu Xuan and I quickly found evidence. The opposing lawyer was clearly underprepared and was soon defeated."

Listening to Shi Muzhi, Jiang Li knew the Cheng Family wouldn't be able to make a comeback this time.

Then Shi Muzhi continued, "Furthermore, the Cheng Family was actually involved in tax evasion, and they used substandard building materials for a national project, so they've been sentenced to prison."

Jiang Li said, "Well done, thank you!"

Shi Muzhi said, "Boss, you're too kind. Oh, and the Cheng Family's fiancée actually found a local construction site owner. He's in his forties, but because they registered their marriage, she escaped imprisonment."

Jiang Li heard this and hadn't expected Meng Man to be so capable, though no one knew what the final outcome would be. "Mm, I see."

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days. Keep it up, and there will be bonuses at the New Year."

"Yes, Boss."

Jiang Li returned to Shiguang Apartment and received a video call from Li Xiang, asking if the garden decoration should also follow the Chinese style.

Jiang Li looked at the bare garden in the video and thought that the garden design in Li Xiang's blueprints was very elegant.

"Li Xiang, the one in your blueprints will be fine."

Li Xiang said, "Alright, Miss Jiang."

"Mm."

"Miss Jiang, the interior decoration of the villa in the manor is almost complete. You can come and take a look when you have time."

"Okay, I will."

Jiang Li planned to check it out once it was ready.

Bailin Garden Island, Fu Family.

Fu Youchi and Fu Xiangqi looked at He Yue's test report; everything was clear.

The day Jiang Li ran into Fu Xiangqi at the hospital was the day his mother returned for a follow-up appointment.

Now seeing that there were no problems in the test report, they were relieved.

"A Yue, you can do what you love now, but you still need to follow the diet plan usually." Fu Youchi was very happy.

"Mm, I know."

He Yue was a designer. Now that she was recovered, she could continue doing what she loved.

"Mom, you love designing jewelry. With Father accompanying you, I'm at ease."

Fu Youchi heard this. "Yes, A Yue, I can be your model."

He Yue looked at her husband and son and felt very happy. "Okay."
