Chapter 126 An accident happens
Amoris said directly: "Madam Li, may I have a word with you for a moment?"
Surprisingly, he speaks fluent Chinese.
The standard smile on Zhan Ruoyin's face was about to crack. It was said that foreigners were passionate and unrestrained, and they didn't know what restraint was. Today, Zhan Ruoyin had witnessed it.
Amoris wanted to make a quick decision, so Zhan Ruoyin naturally agreed: "Okay, where are we going?"
Amoris was obviously surprised by Zhan Ruoyin's straightforwardness. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go to the garden. There are Mrs. Li's favorite roses."
Zhan Ruoyin nodded. At this time, the princess shouted at Amoris, "Nonsense! Madam Li came all the way to attend the banquet. How could you be so rude? It is the fault of all of us as nobles to make Madam Li unhappy!"
Zhan Ruoyin raised her arm to signal the princess that it was okay.
The princess seemed so respectful and polite to Zhan Ruoyin on the surface, but in the final analysis, one was playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.
"Princess, don't be angry. Master Amoris is a true character. He is straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush. This is also my style of doing things. However, if I remember correctly, my Jingyan doesn't seem to like people who are straightforward. He prefers people who are reserved and steady. Master Amoris, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get along with my Jingyan, right?"
These words were undoubtedly a heavy blow, and Amory's face turned dark.
Of course he knew that Yan liked introverted and steady people, but Yan's freedom was in question now, so what else did he have to worry about?
"Mrs. Li calls Yan so affectionately, but in fact, weren't you the one who made Yan suffer?" Amoris was fearless. Mrs. Li was of noble birth, but his sister was also someone Mrs. Li could not afford to offend.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room fell silent, and the faces of the noble ladies were filled with shock and panic. Was this something they were supposed to hear?
Zhan Ruoyin raised her lips to a faint smile. She admired Amoris very much. For the sake of Li Jingyan, he spoke without any twists and turns, to the point of almost breaking up with her.
Sheng Wan's expression was naturally calm. She had heard Li Chen tell her that Amoris was a ruthless man with a strong hand, who committed murder and arson, and was also a rare business genius.
But even such a cruel and ruthless person has his weaknesses.
It is undoubtedly a foolish decision to speak out about what you care about.
As long as the mother was a little more ruthless, she could lead Amoris by the nose and make Amoris work for the Li family.
The princess's expression was as ugly as if she had eaten a fly. Her brother usually looked unfathomable no matter what the matter was, but when it came to Li Jingyan, he became very impulsive.
Now they are begging Madam Li, how can they embarrass Madam Li in public?
The princess was furious and waved her hand, shouting, "Come here, Master Amoris is ill, take him back and treat him. Only when he is well can he come to see me and Madam Li!"
When Amoris heard this, he panicked. Wouldn't that mean putting him under house arrest? What about Yan? He had to see that Yan was safe and sound, otherwise he would not give up.
Amoris had a sinister look on his face. He pulled out a gun from his bosom, pointed it at his temple, and said viciously to his sister:
"Dear sister, I have followed your arrangements since I was a child. I went to school, worked, and got married. I was excellent in everything, but this is not what I want. You should know what I like better than me, but you have always prevented me from doing what I want to do. In this case, I can only fight to the death."
As soon as the gun was fired, everyone present changed their expressions in shock, including Zhan Ruoyin, who was frightened to death.
How cruel! She even attempted suicide just to save Li Jingyan.
What is the charm of Li Jingyan that makes him so desperate?
The princess was so frightened that her heart and liver trembled. She swallowed her saliva and looked at her brother in panic. Her brother had gone mad:
"Don't be impulsive, Amoris. Everything I do for you is for your future. You should understand my good intentions. I have suffered so much injustice and torture in the past, isn't it just because I hope you can grow up healthy and safe!"
When Amorys heard the princess's complaints, he softened his heart. He thought of his sister's previous life, which was worse than that of an animal, and his eyes dimmed.
At this moment, the princess gave a look to the leader of the Royal Guard, immediately stepped forward, snatched the gun with a clean and decisive movement, and threw it to the ground five meters away.
Just as Amoris was about to be dragged away, Zhan Ruoyin suddenly spoke up and said to the princess:
"I would like to talk to Master Amoris alone. I wonder if you agree."
The princess blinked her eyes. She thought that Madam Li would be very angry because of Amoris's unreasonable demands, but at this moment Madam Li's eyes were calm and clear, without any sign of anger.
"Okay, come on, invite Amoris and Madam Li to the back garden, prepare hot tea and snacks, and make sure to entertain Madam Li well."
……
It was ten o'clock in the evening when Zhan Ruoyin left France. She could have arrived in the afternoon, but she wanted to travel around France, which delayed her.
On the plane, Sheng Wan didn't know what was going on, but she guessed about 70% of it, and pretended to be stupid and asked Zhan Ruoyin:
"What did mother talk about with Amoris? He actually promised to provide the Li family with an investment of 50 billion every year. This is a considerable amount of money."
Zhan Ruoyin was watching a downloaded TV series on her tablet and smiled deeply:
"He can choose not to invest, but he will lose the chance to meet Li Jingyan."
She told Amoris everything that Li Jingyan had done to the Li family. Amoris didn't believe it at first, but the fact that Li Jingyan was imprisoned on an isolated island was an ironclad fact, so he had to believe it.
Zhan Ruoyin originally thought that telling Amoris that Li Jingyan was born a bad person would make him give up, or at least completely shatter his filter for Li Jingyan.
But Amoris actually asked Zhan Ruoyin to let him meet Li Jingyan. If he agreed, Amoris could invest 50 billion in the Li family's project.
Zhan Ruoyin found it strange and made a joke: "If you can provide 50 billion investment every year, I can let you meet Li Jingyan once a year. I'm just afraid that you are just saying that you are affectionate, but in fact you are just a fake painter who can only draw cakes."
Zhan Ruoyin wanted to see Amoris's dark expression, but unexpectedly he agreed without even thinking about it.
Zhan Ruoyin naturally believed in Amoris's credit. As a well-known businessman, credit was naturally the first thing he had to uphold.
Zhan Ruoyin would definitely agree to this request. She could get 50 billion investment funds every year and also disgust Li Jingyan once. Zhan Ruoyin smiled at the thought.
"I'm afraid my uncle will dislike seeing Amoris." A smile flashed across Sheng Wan's eyes. Sure enough, her mother took advantage of Amoris.
Zhan Ruoyin waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "Amoris is an old friend of Li Jingyan. He is usually so lonely. He should be happy to see his good friend."
As happy as Zhan Ruoyin was on the plane, she felt helpless and angry when she got off the plane.
Butler Qian called the landline from the isolated island and said that Amoris had kidnapped the Fourth Master. Outside the isolated island were all Amoris's men, all of them carrying hot weapons. In order to avoid casualties, the Fourth Master would not let them stop them, but it was useless as Amoris killed without blinking an eye.
When Zhan Ruoyin heard the call from Han Li at the old house, her eyes went dark and she almost couldn't breathe.
Zhan Ruoyin woke up again the next morning. She hurriedly looked for Han Li, who immediately appeared at the door and said to Zhan Ruoyin:
"Madam, the Fourth Master called me last night and asked me to pass on a message to you."
Zhan Ruoyin was heartbroken and wept bitterly. Li Jingyan had run away, which meant that the people of the Li family were in greater danger.
Zhan Ruoyin gritted her teeth and said, "Speak."
Han Li sighed helplessly, "The Fourth Master said he promised Madam that he would not do anything reckless, and he must keep his word. Amoris took him to find the Angel Relics, and there is a possibility that he will never come back. Madam, don't worry, he will die sooner or later, so there is no need to worry that he will not get his retribution."
Zhan Ruoyin opened her mouth slightly in disbelief. "What did you say? Li Jingyan went to look for the angel ruins? That's ridiculous. It would be better if he was eaten by a monster, so that I can be completely relieved."
Zhan Ruoyin finally put her mind at ease. After all, although Li Jingyan was a bad person, he repeatedly assured her that he would not do anything wrong. Zhan Ruoyin didn't say that she believed him completely, but with Li Jingyan's character, he would not lie.
"I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?" Zhan Ruoyin got out of bed and stopped thinking about Li Jingyan.
Han Li quickly said, "Yes, Sister Chen made your favorite crab roe buns and vegetable porridge."
"Okay, let it cool for a while, I'll go eat it after I wash up."
But after Zhan Ruoyin finished washing up and sat in the restaurant, she took a bite of the crab roe bun and spat it out in disgust.
It's terrible.
Mrs. Chen noticed Zhan Ruoyin's movements, and immediately stopped what she was doing, walked up to Zhan Ruoyin, and asked nervously:
"Madam, the buns are not tasty because they are cold. I will go and heat them up again."
"No, go get two slices of bread. I can't eat these now."
Zhan Ruoyin frowned. The buns were still hot, so it shouldn't be because they had cooled down.
Zhan Ruoyin used to like the crab roe buns made by Mrs. Chen very much. But after going to the isolated island, her mouth became so picky that she spit it out before she could react.
