The crisp sound stunned Song Chuyan. Even Jiang Ye, who had just parked his car and rushed over, was stunned.

He looked at his good friend’s condition and was even more shocked. After all these years, he had never seen Song Chuyan in such a sorry state.

Song Chuyan snapped back to reality from the slap. He looked at the familiar yet also unfamiliar Song Jiaren in front of him and sneered. “What right do you have to slap me?”

Song Chuyan closed her eyes. When she opened them again, they were already extremely cold. “We don’t know whether Mom is alive or dead. You only know how to mourn and blame yourself. Song Chuyan, you’re really useless. I really look down on you. If you can’t help us, please take care of yourself. Don’t make us worry about you.”

Song Chuyan’s body stiffened. He suddenly grabbed Song Jiaren’s arm and asked, “What did you say happened to my mother?”

Song Jiaren pushed his hand away and didn’t answer his question. She threw the letter that Song Meiyu had left her to him. Then, she walked to the door and said to Jiang Ye, “Since he’s not dead, let’s

go.”

Jiang Ye looked at his friend, who was sitting on the ground, and then at Song Jiaren, who had already walked out. After some hesitation, he said to Song Chuyan, “Your sister and I are going to Jiang City’s Jiang family to save Auntie Song. We’ll leave first.”

With that, he caught up to Song Jiaren.

The two of them set off for the airport again. This time, Song Jiaren had her eyes closed the entire time and didn’t speak. Jiang Ye peeked at her a few times and wanted to say something to defend his good friend, but he didn’t know what to say. After all, Chuyan had indeed gone a little overboard this time.

In the end, he shut up and concentrated on driving. He hoped that they would still catch the earliest flight.

Fortunately, they managed to catch the plane at the last minute. Song Jiaren was sitting in her seat and rubbing the jade pendant in her hand. When Jiang Ye saw it, he asked, “Did Auntie Song give you this jade pendant?”

Song Jiaren showed it to him and asked, “Have you seen this jade pendant?”

Jiang Ye looked at it carefully and shook his head. “No.”

A look of disappointment flashed across Song Jiaren’s eyes as she put away the jade pendant and said nothing else.

Jiang Ye looked at his phone from time to time, as if he was waiting for some news. He only put down his phone when the plane was about to take off and turned it off.

The moment the plane landed, Song Jiaren and Jiang Ye arrived in this unfamiliar city. Jiang Ye had been to Jiang City twice with his father, so he was quite familiar with it. He brought Song Jiaren to a hotel. Song Jiaren looked up at the “IKEA Hotel” hanging on the door plate and was puzzled.

“We will stay in this hotel today. Come with me,” Jiang Ye said confidently.

Song Jiaren could only follow him in. The moment they entered, Jiang Ye found the hotel manager with great familiarity and asked for room 302 on the fifth floor.

He brought Song Jiaren to the room. It was a suite. The moment they entered, they could see a French window with two bedrooms on both sides. Jiang Ye brought her to the window of one of the bedrooms and said from the window, “Look there!”

Song Ren stood on the chair and looked outside. She happened to see the backyard of a villa and could even see servants tending to the garden.

This was… the Jiang family’s home?

She instantly understood what Jiang Ye meant. She smiled and said, “Well done!”

Jiang Ye scratched his head and smiled. “I was very curious about the Jiang family in Jiang City, so I found this hotel room.”

Song Jiaren took out a mini infrared telescope from her bag and looked out the window. This time, she could even see the movements on the Jiang family’s building near the garden. This was the best place to survey.

Jiang Ye watched her in shock and asked, “You even prepared a telescope?”

As Song Jiaren familiarized herself with the Jiang family’s terrain, she replied, “Even if you didn’t find this place, I was prepared to find a high point to observe the Jiang family first, so I prepared in advance.”

Surprise flashed across Jiang Ye’s eyes. He found this woman more and more special. He joked, “Why didn’t I find you so interesting before? Otherwise, I would have wooed you long ago.”

When Song Jiaren heard this, she paused and shook her head while ignoring his childish words.

Jiang Ye’s phone rang. He turned it on and smiled. “There’s good news. The Jiang family is preparing to hold a banquet tomorrow. Our Jiang family is also on the invite list, so I can bring you in tomorrow.”
