The CEO's Woman Chapter 72 Family Heirloom

Chapter 72 Family Heirloom

Jiang Yue can't help but take some time to a.n.a.lyze what had happened.

They are currently listening to the recording of Lu s.h.i.+'s murder, and she is not really happy about it.

She believes that Lu s.h.i.+ died too early. Jiang Yue still have some questions left unanswered.

Li Qiang said that he wasn't Jiang Mian's father. And that he will use Jiang Mian against her.

What does Li Qiang mean? Why does he hate her so much?

In Jiang Yue's knowledge, Li Qiang killed her mother w.a.n.g Ruo because Lu s.h.i.+ asked her too.

Why does it seem like that is not the case at all?

Her stupor was interrupted by Fu Jin's hands in her shoulders.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Hmmm... Do you have something from your investigations about Li Qiang?" She inquired.

"Actually yes. But everything is vague. Li Qiang is really someone from the Li family."

"The military family?"

"Yes." Fu Jin concurred."But he disappeared for three years before he showed up eighteen years ago."

"Three years?" Jiang Yue immediately type something into her computer. "That was around the time that my mother studied abroad. Do you... Do you think he knows my mother?"

"That's a probability. He seemed to hate you and mom so mu-"

"Ehem... what did you say?" Jiang Yue interrupted him.

"I said Li Qiang obviously hated you and mom so something must have happened in the past." After Fu Jin clarified his previous words, Jiang Yue nodded softly. A sparkle is visible in her eyes.

"Did you just call my mother mom?" She teased. This man is really...

"What's wrong? We're getting married soon anyway." He answered while giving her a shrugged.

should he call her mother aunty instead? They are clearly getting married soon.

Why not just call her mom in now? In this case there should be no difference between now and later, right?

"Ehem... no. There's nothing wrong with that." Jiang Yue shook her head. It seems like she is really helpless when it comes to Fu Jin 'unique' ways.

Fu Jin nodded, satisfied with her answer. "I already asked Bei'Ye to dig into Li Qiang's family. Now that we are certain of his family background then it will be better for us to investigate him."

"Okay. Tell him to tread carefully. The Li Family is a top military family. We don't want to make enemies out of them."

"So what are you planning to do with the recordings?" He asked.

"Keep it. I'm thinking that Li Qiang will tell Jiang Mian that I killed Lu s.h.i.+. In that way, he can manipulate her even more." She answered as she looks at her computer again."Li Qiang already have many problems abroad. But it seems that it's still not enough for him to leave the country."

"I will create more problems for him. Let's see if he would still have the time to scheme against me." She added.

"I don't think I have enough to directly face him right now. He has strong ties abroad which can be my disadvantage. So all I can do is watch him while grow at a steady pace."

"I can't just straightforwardly attack him."

Fu Jin affirmed before giving her another snack. She is right. Li Qiang is known abroad for his ruthlessness. Even if Fu Jin will use his little influence to help her, it will not be enough to touch even his hair.

However, the full force of Fu Family can definitely help both of them. Too bad he still have no power to use it.

Speaking of the Fu family.

"My father will come here next week." He started."He wants to meet you."

"Meet me? Is there any problem?" She asked. Fu Jin's father is the current head of the Fu Family.

He must be a really busy man. Jiang Yue wondered why he would suddenly want to meet her.

"I.." he reluctantly looked at her. Sadness apparent in his black orbs."I have to go away for two years."

Jiang Yue stopped working and focus her full attention towards the man beside her.

"Where?"

"It's a Fu family tradition. Before I could take over the whole family." He explained."I will go abroad with my grandfather. He will introduce every aspect of the Fu Family to me."

"Two years?"

"Yes and... And I can't communicate with anyone that I love in those two years... including you." He mumbled, his face grim. Two years of no communication. Will he even survive?

She carefully examined the man before her. Fu Jin looks as if he is about to... cry?

"Do-" But before Jiang Yue can say anything Fu Jin suddenly cupped her hands which startled her.

"Why don't you marry me before I leave?"

Jiang Yue was speechless.

Marry him?

Is this man joking?

"Jin. I'm only 18 you are 19 about to be 20 but still, we...we are too young." She is just telling the truth. In this country, girls usually get engaged at 18 but get married at 20 while guys are allowed to get married at 22.

"Then let me explain something." Fu Jin said as he reaches out for something in his pocket. It turned out to be a necklace.

The necklace looks exactly like the one he gave her. Except that this one is obviously for a man.

"That..."

"This is the pair of the necklace that I gave you before. It is a family heirloom. Only the Future Matriarch and Patriarch can wear this." He responded.

"And you forgot to tell me about all this because?"

"Well, I know you will not accept it once you knew. So...but I'm telling you now. There should be no problem. Right?"

"Right."Jiang Yue nodded. That necklace was a part of their bet. The one that she 'honorably' lost.

"Good. So, we can only wear this at the same time after my father agrees with our marriage. It's like an engagement necklace. But the person who is wearing this necklace can command some of the Fu family's forces."

"So?"

"So, that is the reason why my father will come here. To give us his blessings."

"What if your father does not like me?" She asked with her brows furrowed.
