The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 421
CHAPTER 421: CHAPTER 421
Old Master Feng was still feeling a bit down, but when he saw Jiang Moxi’s mysterious demeanor, he couldn’t help teasing her.
"What secret? Where did you hide the cookies this time, or are you planning to start a new online account again?"
Jiang Moxi shook her head, "It’s not those things."
Old Master Feng smiled, "Then what kind of secret could it be? Alright, no jokes with grandpa, I really don’t have an appetite today."
Seeing Old Master Feng didn’t take her seriously, Jiang Moxi leaned in and whispered something in his ear.
The old man, who was just looking despondent and had tears in the corners of his eyes, suddenly widened his eyes as he stared at Jiang Moxi.
"Xixi, is this true? Feng..."
Just as Old Master Feng was about to speak, he suddenly realized something and abruptly stopped.
"How could I possibly joke about something like this?" said Jiang Moxi.
Old Master Feng looked around to make sure nobody was in or outside the room before asking Jiang Moxi in a lowered voice,
"Then if he is still around, how come he hasn’t returned for so many years?"
"That question comes with a separate price," she said.
Jiang Moxi pointed to the dinner she had just brought in, "If you eat all of this, I’ll tell you."
Eager to know about Feng Ming’s experiences over the years, Old Master Feng immediately picked up his bowl and started to eat.
Jiang Moxi, worried that he might eat too quickly and choke, quickly served him some soup and said, "Eat slowly, I’ll tell you right now..."
When Jiang Moxi left Old Master Feng’s room, only empty plates and bowls remained from the dinner she had carried in.
Feng Yu, hearing that Old Master Feng wouldn’t eat dinner tonight, was about to check on him but was surprised to see the empty dishes Jiang Moxi carried out.
"Did Old Master eat all this?"
"Yes," Jiang Moxi handed the empty dishes to a servant behind Feng Yu, then headed to her own room.
Unable to resist, Feng Yu followed her.
"Xixi, it’s still you after all. You probably don’t know, but it’s been a long time since Old Master had such a good appetite."
Jiang Moxi ignored Feng Yu and went straight back to her room, slamming the door shut.
Feng Yu, who had been closely following her, nearly hurt his nose by the closing door.
Rubbing his nose, he stood outside the door and asked Jiang Moxi, "How about we go camping next weekend? There’s a newly opened campground with nice scenery, surrounded by blooming cherry blossoms."
Jiang Moxi used to enjoy camping a lot.
So on weekends, they would join Feng Ming and the others camping nearby, eating barbeque at night, and watching the starry sky.
During those years, Feng Yu always thought those days were plain, but looking back now, they were the happiest and freest times.
He really wanted to take Jiang Moxi to recapture that old joy.
But through the door, Jiang Moxi said, "Get the camping gear ready, I’ll go, you don’t have to, you’d be a buzzkill."
As if unfazed, Feng Yu replied with a smile on his face, "Alright, I’ll have people prepare it right away."
Feng Yu soon left, and Jiang Moxi finally sat down on the lounge chair, only to see her computer in the room switching on by itself.
Then a message popped up on the screen, "Xixi, where are you planning to camp this weekend."
Jiang Moxi half-closed her cold eyes and quickly thought of something, reaching to turn off the power switch of the desktop computer.
But soon another sentence appeared on the screen, "Xixi, don’t turn off the computer. Feng Ming isn’t dead, so why are you going to pay respects to him??"
However, Jiang Moxi quickly realized that Fu Youhan was asking even though he knew the answer.
Yes, the one who hacked into her, Jiang Moxi’s, computer was Fu Youhan.
Only he had such a skill.
Moreover, this man had already met Feng Ming when he was in Yan City.
With his extraordinary intelligence, he must have deduced by now that Jiang Moxi has yet to reveal the news of Feng Ming being alive because she wants to protect his whereabouts before he’s willing to make an appearance.
But Fu Youhan asks knowingly, simply to tell Jiang Moxi that he might expose this secret. It all depends on how Jiang Moxi decides.
Jiang Moxi can only give up and doesn’t turn off the power switch: "What exactly do you want to do? Can’t we just part ways amicably?"
But soon, a line of text appeared on the computer screen: "Part ways? We are still deeply in love with each other, why break up?"
Jiang Moxi couldn’t be bothered with such a pointless discussion with Fu Youhan and asked directly: "Don’t expose Brother Ming’s matter, state your terms."
The screen quickly displayed four characters: "Let’s reconcile."
Jiang Moxi sneered: "In your dreams!"
Then, Fu Youhan quickly sent another message: "Then invite me to go camping this weekend!"
Jiang Moxi was furious but eventually agreed.

On the other side, after Fu Youhan got Jiang Moxi’s compromise, he immediately arranged all the camping gear for couples.
Couple’s windbreakers, shoes, socks...
He even bought a new off-road vehicle.
After nearly everything was set, Fu Youhan began planning on how to win over Jiang Moxi’s heart during the weekend camping trip when his phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Chi Jing, "Third Young Master, we’ve done a spot check on the batches of Jiang Family’s products and found that there are already some defective items."
"Don’t make a fuss over it, purchase all the products. Instruct Shen Xing to imply to them to speed up production and increase their profits. But remember, the products purchased from Jiang’s should not be installed on our new products!"
"Yes!"
Not long after Fu Youhan ended the phone call, Shen Xing appeared at Jiang Group, claiming to check the products.
Jiang Tairan promptly received Shen Xing warmly and invited him to his office.
Shen Xing, following Fu Youhan’s instructions, conveyed the issues of accelerating production and offering additional benefits to Jiang Tairan.
Jiang Tairan was cautious and asked Shen Xing, "Why do we need to increase production again?"
Shen Xing replied, "We’ve recently opened up a new channel to export these automotive products to Xiya. There, the economy is booming, and the demand for cars is huge."
Shen Xing added, "To grow the company, seizing opportunities is crucial. Right now, the gap in the automotive market in Xiya is significant. If we can take the lead, we can dominate the market there."
After hearing this, Jiang Tairan was thrilled and repeatedly thanked Shen Xing for the advice.
After seeing off Shen Xing, Jiang Tairan called his three sons to the office.
Besides asking them to expedite production, Jiang Tairan also decided: "I want to promote our Q30 model in Xiya."
The Q30 car was a mid to low-priced model created by Jiang’s, targeting the domestic low-income families market.
However, as other manufacturers at the same price point did better, the Q30 was quickly phased out.
There were hundreds left in the warehouse. If they could be sold, it would recover some funds.
Jiang Guosheng and others naturally agreed, given that the Q30s were just taking up space in the warehouse.
Thus, Jiang’s started shipping the Q30 to Xiya that very night...
Shen Xing got wind of this and promptly informed Fu Youhan.
Fu Youhan sneered: "They are just insatiable."
Shen Xing asked Fu Youhan, "I’m worried this might affect our follow-up actions."
Fu Youhan said, "It won’t have an impact. We also have branches in Xiya. Find a group of people to buy their Q30s in several batches, and give them to our employees as benefits. Remember, after purchasing the products, they must undergo performance testing to ensure they are safe for our employees to use!"
Shen Xing immediately understood Fu Youhan’s intent: "President Fu wants to make them think their cars are selling well in Xiya, prompting them to invest more."
Fu Youhan chuckled: "Exactly, this way Jiang Family’s funds will be tied up even tighter, and they will fall even faster..."
