1333 The Alliance
“Conditions?” Jiang Rou looked at Jiang Yu in confusion. “You were the one who suggested working with the Chu family. Now that I’ve agreed to your request, you’re asking me about my conditions?”
“I think you’re mistaken.” Jiang Yu opened her eyes wide and looked at Jiang Rou innocently. “It’s true that I suggested this first, but old master Chu has already rejected me. Then this proposal was invalid. But now that you want to cooperate with me, if you don’t come up with some attractive conditions, why should I agree to it?”
“You! You’re taking advantage of him!” Jiang Rou’s face was red with anger.
“This is a trade between merchants.” Jiang Yu smiled slyly. “The businessmen will not agree to a cooperation without any benefits.”
“You!” Jiang Rou glared at Jiang Yu fiercely. It took a long time for her to calm down. “I don’t know how greedy you are. Why don’t you make your conditions?”
“My conditions are very simple. I only have three.” Jiang Yu raised three fingers. “First, let Mo Long and I stay in the Chu family and help us hide our whereabouts. Second, you must let me have a look at your new weapon once it’s developed. Third, this matter was carried out in secret and could not be known by the Chi family. As for old master Chu, I’ll leave it to you to convince him.”
“Jiang Yu, you’re asking for too much, right?” Jiang Rou couldn’t believe it. “Other than the last thing, who do you think can fulfill the other two conditions? Chu Jie can’t see you and Mo Long now, and you still want to live with him in the Chu family? And this weapon, we developed it, why should we let you have a look first?”
Jiang Yu shrugged and said, “which do you think is more important, the Chu family’s safety or Chu Jie’s emotions? Let’s not talk about anything else first. If you can’t even distinguish the priority of this, then I think we should stop our cooperation and end it here.”
With that, Jiang Yu got up and was about to leave.
Jiang Rou hesitated for a few seconds before calling out to her,”wait!” I’ll agree to your request, alright? But you have to give me a reason for that weapon. Why should we let you have a look at the weapon we developed first?”
“Because house Kang and house Mo are way more powerful than house Chu. If they want to protect house Chu, they have to rely on us. Jiang Yu’s gaze turned cold. furthermore, there’s poison on your weapons. If I don’t take a look at them personally, what if you use them to harm others?”
“You! We developed this weapon for the Chu family!”
“I know that you’re working with me behind old master Chu’s back for the Chu family.” Jiang Yu said, “in that case, be obedient and do as I say. Even if something really does happen, house Kang and house Mo will be the ones holding it up.”
Jiang Rou bit her lower lip. After a long time, she said, “okay, I promise you.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for your news then.”
After saying that, Jiang Yu went back the way she came.
Xu Yang and Shi Li had been waiting in the dark. They only felt relieved when they saw Jiang Yu coming out of the thatched house unscathed.
The two of them escorted Jiang Yu back to the village. Teng Yi’s injuries were much better and he could barely get out of bed and walk.
However, he still needed someone to support him to walk.
During this time, Feng Ran acted as Teng Yi’s walking stick.
Jiang Yu said to Teng Yi, “if everything goes well, I’ll go to the Chu family soon. I’ll send someone to take care of you. When you’ve recovered, you can come back and join us.”
Although Teng Yi really wanted to go with Jiang Yu, he knew that he would only be a burden. Hence, he could only nod and say, “yes, Madam. Please stay in the Chu family and don’t worry about me. ”
Feng Ran quickly stood up and said, “I’ll help you take care of Teng Yi!” If you go to the Chu family, the bodyguards here will leave too. Then, there’s no point for me and Mei Shuang to stay here. It would be better to follow them. Plus, Mei Shuang and I are girls. We can take better care of Teng Yi than those men.”
Jiang Yu looked at Feng Ran with a complicated expression and asked, “aren’t you going back to the Feng family?”
“I’m not going back.” Feng Ran quickly shook her head. I don’t want to go back and see my stepmother and Feng di. It annoys me. If it’s possible, I’d love to continue wandering outside like this.”
Jiang Yu paused for a moment. alright, this is your decision. I respect it. she said.
“Yes, yes!” Feng Ran nodded excitedly.
At ten o’clock in the evening, Jiang Rou sent a message to Jiang Yu. “It’s done.”
The corners of Jiang Yu’s lips curled up slightly as she replied, “alright. Then, I wish that our future Alliance will be even more pleasant.”
