The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 313

Chapter 313: Chapter 313 Argument

Everyone: "..."

Yan Bai walked away with a dark face.

Before leaving, he left a message for Zhou Zhenghui, telling him to find him within three days if he wanted to retrieve his biological daughter, or else it would be too late.

Jiang Leyi was astounded and finally managed to say, "Nannan, do you have a grudge against him?"

In her memory, this was only the second time she had seen this man...

Jiang Nanshu regarded him as if he were an enemy.

Jiang Nanshu gave her a helpless look and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sister, what he said to you made me very upset. You are not some counterfeit; you are the unique Jiang Leyi, and you are my only sister. No one should insult you."

"Was I too fierce just now?" She looked towards Zhou Zhenghui, her face filled with guilt, "Mr. Zhou, I’m sorry. I tend to be protective, so I can be a bit hot-tempered. I hope you can forgive me."

Zhou Zhenghui shook his head, smilingly looking at Jiang Nanshu, "Miss Jiang, I should thank you instead. Your words were enlightening and cleared my mind instantaneously. No wonder he has been tight-lipped about my daughter all these years despite my pleas."

"Don’t mention it, I can’t stand seeing such despicable characters triumph," Jiang Nanshu replied with a smile.

Zhou Zhenghui felt a surge of appreciation in his heart, and his relationship with Jiang Nanshu quickly grew closer.

From initially addressing her formally as Miss Jiang, he had now started calling her Nanshu.

When Liu Yueru came down, Zhou Zhenghui took them to a pre-reserved restaurant for a meal.

Along the way, Liu Yueru kept holding Jiang Leyi and asking about her life over the years.

Learning that she had lived comfortably and was loved by her family, she immediately burst into tears, repeatedly expressing relief that Leyi hadn’t suffered outside.

Meanwhile, Jiang Nanshu was chatting with Zhou Zhenghui.

As they conversed, the topic shifted to Zhou Yanxu.

Jiang Nanshu regretfully spoke, "I know about the exploits of the former head of the Zhou Family. If he were still alive, the Zhou Family would likely be better managed. I think Yan Bai is not a good person; he’s too malevolent. They must be biological brothers, right? How can their dispositions differ so much."

When Zhou Yanxu was brought up, Zhou Zhenghui’s eyes also showed regret, "Talent is often envied by the heavens, Yanxu was the perfect successor, but he died young. I never wished to see that kind of accident happen."

Human bones can only turn to ash in a cremation furnace with temperatures above 800 degrees Celsius. How could a fire burn a person completely to ash?

What the maid said was true; after the fire was extinguished, Zhou Yanxu’s body was not found.

Jiang Nanshu speculated that the Zhou Yanxu of this world might not have died.

He could have been rescued by someone or might be recuperating somewhere.

"Ah," Jiang Nanshu sighed deeply, "Before coming to Port City, I happened to read some material about him. He is a person worthy of admiration, and I admire him so much that it instantly made me want to meet him. Unfortunately... that wish can no longer be realized, Mr. Zhou, I have a presumptuous request, and I hope you can grant it."

Zhou Zhenghui paused, "What is it?"

"I would like to visit Zhou Yanxu’s tombstone. Since I couldn’t meet him while he was alive, at least I’d like to pay him a visit after his death."

That wasn’t a presumptuous request at all.

Zhou Zhenghui readily agreed, "Sure, when are you free? I haven’t seen him for a while either; I hope he won’t hold it against me, his uncle."

"How about tomorrow? I can’t stay in Port City for long."

"Okay."

Later, Jiang Nanshu and Zhou Zhenghui talked a lot more.

She learned many things about Zhou Yanxu’s childhood.

He had congenital heart disease, was clever and eager to learn, good-natured, kind, did a lot of charity work, and few businessmen could achieve his level of selfless dedication.

He loved admiring landscapes, whether they were rainy scenes or mountain and water scenery, all bringing him joy. He was a Buddhist, so he had a gilded Buddha statue at home, but it was destroyed in that fire.

"He loved watching the snow," Jiang Nanshu said softly.
