Afterward, Zhan Bei Jue coldly ordered the driver to leave.
Ge'er and Rui Rui exchanged glances. Though they didn't know what had happened, they unconditionally trusted their mother.
Mom wouldn't abandon them. They could call tonight to find out what was going on.
The immediate priority was to get Gong Bei Bei out of the house.
Jiang Nan Fang hadn't slept all night and hadn't eaten breakfast. She was in very poor spirits.
Zhou Jin Xiu, worried about her going back like this, insisted on taking her for breakfast.
The two sat down at a Cantonese tea restaurant. While waiting for their food, Jiang Nan Fang roughly recounted the events of the previous day.
"It was my second brother who called the police? Aren't you his company employee? How could he..."
As she was talking about Zhan Bei Jue, his name suddenly appeared on the large TV screen in the restaurant, broadcasting the morning news.
The host, with a smile, said, "Welcome to Morning News 30 Minutes. We now have a breaking news item."
"Mr. Zhan Bei Jue, a prominent young entrepreneur in our city, has just solemnly announced through our station's reporter that he will be holding an engagement ceremony with Ms. Gong Bei Bei soon, ending his 29 years of bachelorhood..."
Jiang Nan Fang felt she hadn't heard correctly and turned to look at the television.
The screen helpfully displayed a photo of Zhan Bei Jue.
The voiceover enthusiastically explained, "Speaking of Zhan Bei Jue, I believe everyone is familiar with him."
"As a private entrepreneur, he has carved out a unique position in Nancheng's business world with his exceptional looks, steady demeanor, and youthful drive..."
Jiang Nan Fang was stunned.
Zhan Bei Jue was getting engaged to Gong Bei Bei? And announcing it to the world via television?
Didn't he say he had no relationship with that woman?
It had only been two days since they returned from Bali, how could this be...
Seeing Jiang Nan Fang's jaw drop in surprise, Zhou Jin Xiu said,
"You didn't know until just now? Yesterday, my second brother attended the 150th anniversary celebration of Nanda University, and Gong Bei Bei publicly proposed to him in a wedding dress. It was all over the headlines. Didn't you see it?"
"I found it strange. How could the man who was about to become a groom have the mood to report his female subordinate?"
"Ah, could it be that he had feelings for you, and when his advances were rejected, he sought revenge?"
Jiang Nan Fang's head buzzed. She couldn't hear or say anything.
"I don't want to eat anymore. I feel really unwell. I'm sorry, I think I'll go back now."
She didn't know how she got back to the hotel. Her mind was a complete mess the entire way.
She thought she no longer had feelings for Zhan Bei Jue, but hearing the news of his impending marriage unexpectedly made her heart ache so much.
A feeling of betrayal and insult, more severe than six years ago, arose within her.
Jiang Nan Fang couldn't sleep.
She hated Zhan Bei Jue, hated this land, and just wanted to leave quickly, not wanting to stay another second.
She'd be crazy to come back here again!!
She didn't bother with her belongings. After taking a shower and cleaning herself up, she immediately rushed out.
At the company, Zhan Bei Jue leaned back in his armchair, his eyes vacant.
Ah Zhong entered and reported, "Mr. Zhan, we've contacted the television station, and the news has been broadcast."
He figured Jiang Nan Fang would see it now.
*I'm completely done with you, I'm getting married to someone else, are you satisfied?*
But there was no sense of triumphant revenge.
After Ah Zhong finished speaking, he closed his eyes irritably.
"I know. Don't disturb me if there's nothing else. You can go."
Driving like the wind, Jiang Nan Fang soon arrived at the street outside the kindergarten.
Along the way, she had already figured out an excuse for bringing the two children out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned the corner onto the street, before even approaching the kindergarten, she saw several black cars parked ominously by the roadside.
Beside each car door stood four men in black uniforms, black sunglasses, and the demeanor of bodyguards.
Over twenty in total.
They looked like Zhan Bei Jue's men.
Could it be that to prevent her from taking the children, he had sent bodyguards to the kindergarten entrance?
She didn't care about that. Even if the King of Heaven himself showed up today, she was going to take her children!
Jiang Nan Fang put on her sunglasses and mask, lowered her head, and slowly walked forward.
"Stop."
After taking just two steps, two bodyguards saw her and immediately blocked her path.
"What are you doing here?" They asked as if interrogating her.
Jiang Nan Fang lowered her head: "Just passing by."
"This road is closed. You're not allowed to go this way. Go around."
Closed?
This road was so wide, with no construction or special circumstances, why was it closed just like that?
Jiang Nan Fang looked up: "Who are you people? What right do you have to block the road?"
The bodyguards looked at her expressionlessly.
"Don't worry about who we are. If we say you can't pass, you can't pass. Stop talking nonsense. Hurry back."
"I'm a student's parent, I need to go into the school to find my child."
"You cannot. For the next month, without our permission, no one is allowed within half a step of the school entrance."
"Is there such a thing? Parents aren't even allowed to see their own children?"
Jiang Nan Fang sneered.
"You're Zhan Bei Jue's people, aren't you? Is he that powerful? So domineering? Do all the people in Nancheng have to listen to him? Is he the boss?"
The bodyguards were like robots.
"Since you know who we are, stop talking nonsense. We are indeed that domineering, what can you do? If we say you can't go, you can't go. Go back!"
Saying that, the man impatiently pushed Jiang Nan Fang.
Already full of anger with nowhere to vent, being pushed now sent Jiang Nan Fang's temper soaring.
"Don't push your luck! What right do you have to lay hands on me? Disregarding the law, be careful, I'll report you!"
"We are disregarding the law, and we are not letting you pass. Report us if you can."
"You..."
"Go, go, go. There are so many of us. We don't want to trouble a woman like you. Hurry up and leave, don't force me to take action."
As he spoke, the man reached out to push Jiang Nan Fang again.
In a fit of rage, Jiang Nan Fang grabbed his arm, hoisted him onto her shoulder, and with a "clang," executed a shoulder throw, slamming him to the ground.
"A bunch of men ganging up on a woman, what kind of skill is that! Don't think I'm afraid of you! It's just a fight, come on if you dare!"
Seeing someone causing trouble and throwing their comrade to the ground, the others rushed over.
Jiang Nan Fang wasn't intimidated. She fought one by one, taking them down.
However, she was still a woman, and her stamina was limited.
After knocking down a few, she was outnumbered and was forced into a car.
"Seeking death! Call Mr. Zhan. Someone is trying to force their way into the school, should we detain them!"
Zhan Bei Jue tapped his knuckles rhythmically on the office desk.
The feeling of annoyance hadn't dissipated when his phone rang.
He picked it up and saw it was Ah Cheng.
Assuming something had happened at the school, he answered.
"Mr. Zhan, a woman insisted on forcing her way into the school. After resorting to force, she was apprehended. How should we proceed?"
"A woman? Is her name Jiang Nan Fang?"
Jiang Nan Fang cursed loudly from the other end of the phone.
"Zhan Bei Jue, what right do you have to stop me from seeing my children? What right do you have to block the road and prevent people from passing? What right do you have to have me arrested? Let go!"
"Lawless! I want to challenge you one-on-one! What kind of skill is it to hide behind others? Come here if you dare!"
