The CEO's Woman

Jiang Yue ended up spending lots of time with Wang Ruo. Of course, the latter had already put back her disguise. After all, it was still day time. They didn't want others to have any suspicions.

Now, that Jiang Yue was already aware of Wang Ruo's struggles, Jiang Yue decided to cancel her trip to M Country. She immediately asked, Shen Rong, to offer an apology to the Prime Minister's assistant, who sent the invitation.

However, no matter how much Jiang Yue asked Wang Ruo for more details, the latter was tight-lipped. She would not budge and would only say that Jiang Yue did not need to know more of those things.

For Wang Ruo, Jiang Yue was the most important person, more important than her own life. She did not want her to become more aware of the secrets that she had been keeping.

When Jiang Yue started asking about the Vercello Family, Wang Ruo just informed her that her grandmother was not aware that Wang Ruo was alive, so they were eyeing Jiang Yue right now. She also informed her daughter that every Matriarch of the Vercello family should marry the person that the elders wanted them to.

That piece of information made Jiang Yue and Fu Jin wonder if the Vercello Family had already made their move and sent someone for Jiang Yue. Of course, guessing things like that was useless, since no one was aware of the real competence of that family.

According to Wang Ruo, the Vercello Family was highly secretive about their rules and system. That was the main reason they could rule the underground in Western countries. Every criminal group in the West, be it big or small, respected and feared that family.

She had also told Jiang Yue that the Li Family was the only family that could rival the Vercello Family's influence. In fact, in the black market, the Li Family was known as 'the Vercello of the East'.

The Li Family was also the reason the Vercello Family found it hard to spread their influenceto the Eastern countries.

"So the Li and Vercello Families…" Jiang Yue muttered. "Do you think my grandmother is aware that I am from the Li Family?"

"I am not sure." She shrugged. "I honestly don't know anything, other than father knows, about the Vercello Family. When I was in the black market, working for the military, I was not able to find out anything about them. Their members, their headquarters, nothing. As if they don't exist at all."

"So... how do they make their presence known?" Fu Jin asked, pondering how he could find out more about that dangerous family.

"They usually use other gangs to do their dirty work. That's all I know." Wang Ruo answered. "Everyone knows that your grandmother is the current Matriarch, but no one has ever seen her. No one knows how she looks like."

"You mean, we don't even know if she is alive?" Jiang Yue asked, full of disbelief. An organization that was like a ghost. How was she supposed to know if she was already talking to one?

Wang Ruo stared at Jiang Yue, unable to answer her question. To be honest, she also did not know anything about her mother's organization.

"Don't tell me that you haven't seen grandmother once?" Jiang Yue asked.

In response, Wang Ruo shook her head. "Not even once… When I was in the military… no one knows my identity. Except for Li Qiang.. we uh… we have some history and he accidentally found out about it. He is a very smart person. He was able to put two and two together."

"Li Qiang knows everything… wait what history??"

"Not the type that you are thinking." Wang Ruo instantly answered, not waiting for Jiang Yue to asked any more questions. "He is like my elder brother."

Jiang Yue let out a sigh of relief. At least, Li Qiang did not have any relationship with her mother. Jiang Yue couldn't imagine how she would have reacted if she found out that her mother was once in love with the man, who was now trying to kill her daughter.

The trio continued talking about the Vercello and Li Families until it was time to leave the office.

To avoid suspicion, Wang Ruo was still going to work as Long Die and would not stay with Jiang Yue. However, she would move into a secured apartment and have a lady bodyguard that would act as her sister. Everything was arranged by Fu Jin to make sure that the mother and daughter would stay safe.

Moreover, Fu Jin and Jiang Yue decided that they would move into a penthouse near Long Die's apartment. That was something they had already planned for so long, in fact, Fu Jin had already ordered his secretary to choose a potential penthouse that would suit them, the moment they arrived at the Country. So, this was not something suspicious at all.
