Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

Chapter 132 You, as my mother, should play along with my act.

Saturday.

Star Group, President's Office.

Ever since my daughter confessed her feelings to Li Xingzhou at school some time ago, it seems like everyone thinks that Li Xingzhou has a deep connection with Xingchen Group.

Sure enough, the coalition government, like a beast that has smelled blood, continues to target the Star Group on the one hand, and on the other hand, tentatively seeks cooperation in certain areas.

It seemed that the upper echelons of the Wei Clan had already decided that Li Xingzhou was one of their own and was helping them to take over the Xingchen Group by getting close to Jiang Xuetang.

Jiang Yingluo found the Wei people's thought process to be somewhat peculiar.

It was just a confession, yet the Wei Clan couldn't wait to annex the Starry Sky Group... Are they in such a hurry, even when they're eating shit?

Although Jiang Yingluo despised the behavior of the Wei Clan's higher-ups, their actions still had a certain impact on the Xingchen Group, so even on Saturday, she came to the company to work overtime.

After finishing another task, Jiang Yingluo picked up her phone from the table, her brows furrowing slightly.

Xuetang hasn't contacted me since yesterday.

This has never happened before.

Even if we don't chat much, we'll still send each other messages.

But Xue Tang didn't come home last night, and hasn't even replied to any messages since.

Xingzhou... also cannot be contacted.

Are these two together?

We haven't been in touch for so long, could it be...?

Jiang Yingluo couldn't help but recall that night at the Chenxi Hotel with Li Xingzhou. If Xue Tang hadn't called her that night, she wouldn't have replied...

Because there is simply no time, and no desire to be disturbed by the outside world while enjoying the experience.

and so……

No, that can't be it!

Even if I don't believe in Xue Tang, how could I not believe in Xing Zhou?

After yet another unanswered video call, Jiang Yingluo put down her phone and pressed the button on the table: "Lin Ge, go check on Xue Tang..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Qin strode in, her expression grave: "President Jiang, someone from the planning department spotted Miss Jiang boarding a plane with a blonde woman at the airport while on a business trip."

This is the airport surveillance footage that was just retrieved.

As she spoke, Lin Qin had already displayed the scene from that time in the spatial view window.

In the surveillance footage, Olivia, dressed in a red dress, walked with great speed, while Jiang Xuetang affectionately linked arms with her. Jiang Xuetang appeared weak in the waist and legs as she walked, and even leaned on Olivia's body!

Is that correct?

As Jiang Yingluo watched the surveillance footage, her expression gradually darkened. It was clear that her daughter was being controlled by Olivia!

Where did they go?

"That flight's destination is the Star Realm!" Lin Qin looked at Jiang Yingluo: "President Jiang, due to the urgency of the matter, I directly had the security department follow up. Please forgive me."

"You did a great job." Jiang Yingluo was still looking at the monitor screen, which showed that the incident occurred at 8:30 this morning.

"But don't let them enter the Eternal Night Realm." Jiang Yingluo was very calm at this moment: "First of all, they don't have a way to enter the Eternal Night Realm, and even if they did find one, entering the Eternal Night Realm would just be a pointless death..."

"Let them wait and see in the Starry Sky Realm. Here's Xingzhou's contact information. You gave it to Lin Ge, and I'll give him Lin Ge's contact information as well."

"Leave the rest to Xingzhou."

Jiang Yingluo looked at Lin Qin: "Also, don't let anyone with ulterior motives spread this around."

"Yes!"

"Where is Huang Yun? Where is she?" Jiang Yingluo's eyes sharpened. The Sage was unwilling to condescend to protect Xue Tang in secret, but the Half-Sage was willing.

Although they weren't providing constant, close protection, they at least knew the general location of the person's movements.

Huang Yun was the semi-saintly bodyguard she hired at a high price.

"I don't know."

“Breach of contract.” Jiang Yingluo said expressionlessly, “Dismiss him immediately. The penalty for breach of contract shall be as stated in the contract and made public.”

Jiang Yingluo wasn't afraid of Huang Yun's shamelessness because she had used a modified blood contract to hire these bodyguards.

No one can break the contract unless their strength surpasses that of the Fourth True Ancestor, Olivia.

And how many people in the world are stronger than Olivia?

"Yes!"

Lin Qin immediately went to carry out her duties, and Jiang Yingluo's gaze returned to the surveillance footage.

Was Olivia controlling her daughter?

It would be a lie to say that Jiang Yingluo wasn't worried, but she also knew that there was nothing she could do, otherwise she would easily become a burden.

The only thing we can trust now is the boat.

With her eyes closed, Jiang Yingluo tried to contact Olivia in her mind, since the contract between them had not yet been broken.

But Olivia did not respond to her.

Jiang Yingluo clenched her hands involuntarily. What exactly was Olivia up to?

buzzing...

The phone on the table vibrated a few times. Jiang Yingluo quickly picked it up and found that it was a message from her daughter. She quickly opened the chat interface.

My dear daughter: Mom, the reason you won't let me be with Xingzhou isn't because you're worried about Xingchen Group changing its name, but because you like him too, and you've even kissed him!

Olivia told me everything!

There are only these two sentences.

Jiang Yingluo paused, realizing that's how it is.

From this perspective, it's possible that Xue Tang left with Olivia voluntarily, rather than being controlled.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Xue Tang, under Olivia's control, said this on purpose.

Jiang Yingluo lowered her eyelids slightly. A few days ago, when Xue Tang confessed to Xing Zhou, she explained to herself that a woman at school was harassing him, so she followed Jiang Wanzhao's instructions to confess to Xing Zhou.

At that time, Jiang Yingluo asked her if it was only because of Jiang Wanzhao's guidance?

Jiang Xuetang said dejectedly, "Anyway, he rejected me," and then awkwardly changed the subject.

My daughter really enjoyed boating.

I don't know why I fell in love with it so quickly, or when I started liking it...

But that doesn't matter, since I fell in love with that child very quickly.

In this respect, they truly are mother and daughter.

So now, Xue Tang might think that the reason Xing Zhou rejected her was entirely because of her, his mother.

That's why I speak to myself in this tone.

Jiang Yingluo looked at the chat interface where another message had been added.

My darling daughter: I'll take him away from me! Because you kept it from me! No matter what it takes!

Seeing her daughter's three consecutive exclamations, Jiang Yingluo leaned back in her chair, pinched the bridge of her nose, and chuckled softly.

how to say?

Xuetang has never needed her mother to worry about her since she was a child, because she is very sensible and has her own opinions.

So I let her do what she likes without worrying about interfering too much.

But looking at it now, she's still just a child.

Impulsive, impatient, and speaking with a sense of naivety.

Perhaps it was because I didn't discipline myself enough that I lost my mind when I first fell in love.

They easily fell into Olivia's trap.

But is it really just a trap?

Jiang Yingluo looked at the ceiling. Because she had concealed the fact that she had known Xingzhou for a long time, Xingzhou had become suspicious. Although he was willing to believe her, what if Xuetang said something in her current state?

If you tell a lie that didn't exist, will the ship waver, or will it choose to believe itself?

After all, it's hard not to wonder if Xue Tang's following of Olivia was premeditated.

She had planned to approach Xingzhou, planned to fall in love with him, and planned to begin and end things with Olivia...

At this moment, Jiang Yingluo was not worried about Jiang Xuetang's safety, after all, she already understood what Olivia was going to do with Xuetang.

However, she worried that her relationship with Li Xingzhou might be affected...

As for Xue Tang finding out about this, she wouldn't care.

After all, they would find out sooner or later. Although Xue Tang found out suddenly, it's a good thing. At least they know her attitude and how to deal with it.

Jiang Yingluo didn't think that just because Xuetang was her daughter, she had to step aside; this wasn't something she should back down from.

However, Xue Tang's behavior made her, as a mother, a little angry.

Can't we sit down and talk things out?

It has to be this way...

Well, it seems I haven't really talked to her about this properly.

Jiang Yingluo sighed softly, picked up her phone and sent a message to Li Xingzhou before replying to Jiang Xuetang.

But after that, Xue Tang never replied to a single message.

After putting down her phone, Jiang Yingluo turned off the airport's surveillance video, composed herself, and returned to work.

All I can do now is wait.
