Chapter 4: A Major Gas Explosion About to Happen?

Old Madam Wei probably hadn’t seen the trending topic yet, but she would find out sooner or later. So Ye Xiaoluo decided to strike first.

The situation had already blown up. The video of Wei’s driver threatening people to delete posts using the Wei Group’s reputation had even been turned into memes.

Ye Xiaoluo knew very well that if Old Madam Wei found out, she would definitely not tolerate their father and daughter anymore.

In a soft voice, she explained, “Miss Jiang went to the auction, but my cousin accidentally kicked and damaged a priceless antique. She asked us to compensate her. Brother Huaizhou said I didn’t need to worry about it, but I think I should still apologize properly to Miss Jiang.”

She bent slightly. “I’m sorry, Miss Jiang.”

Ye Xiaoluo said everything except the fact that she was the one who led the accusation of Jiang Yuxia being a mistress.

Old Madam Wei was in poor health, and Jiang Yuxia did not intend to argue with her here.

Her expression remained calm. “Miss Ye, you should be more careful next time. Don’t get deceived emotionally and end up becoming the real mistress yourself.”

Ye Xiaoluo’s face went pale, and she nervously looked toward Old Madam Wei.

Old Madam Wei’s gaze turned stern. “Were you someone else’s mistress?”

Ye Xiaoluo quickly shook her head. “No!”

Her face flushed red, but under the sharp gaze, she quickly regained composure.

“I misunderstood Miss Jiang. But Brother Huaizhou already explained it to me. They are legally married. So, Miss Jiang, I truly apologize.”

Old Madam Wei’s expression turned extremely unpleasant. “Xiaxia is the Wei family’s proper granddaughter-in-law!”

“Xiaoluo, Xiaxia will be the future lady of the Wei family. You must show her the same respect you show me.”

Ye Xiaoluo lowered her head. “Yes, Madam. I understand.”

Old Madam Wei then turned and asked, “Xiaxia, does Huaizhou give you enough money?”

Jiang Yuxia smiled faintly. “Yes, enough. But this time, I came to give this to you.”

She took out a bank card.

“This is…”

“During my two years of marriage with Mr. Wei, he transferred me a total of 23 million yuan. I invested 10 million of it, and now the account has grown to 33 million including returns.”

Along with the bank card, she also handed over two keys.

One was for the house Wei Huaizhou had bought for her after their marriage, and the other was for a Bentley.

Ye Xiaoluo stared at the bank card, her eyes widening slightly.

So much money—and Jiang Yuxia hadn’t even spent it? Then where did the auction money come from?

Old Madam Wei frowned at a glance. “Did you two argue?”

Jiang Yuxia still smiled gently. “No. I just don’t feel comfortable keeping this money, so I’d like Grandma to hold onto it.”

Old Madam Wei said nothing and instructed the caretaker to take the items away.

Then she said, “The weather is nice outside. Push my wheelchair and take me for a walk.”

Ye Xiaoluo tried to follow, but was stopped.

“You stay and help the caregiver clean up.”

In the garden, greenery flourished. The midsummer sun and cicadas filled the air with heat.

Jiang Yuxia pushed Old Madam Wei’s wheelchair through the shade.

“Xiaxia, I won’t ask too much about you and Huaizhou. But I can assure you, that Ye Xiaoluo will never have the chance to ruin your marriage.”

Old Madam Wei sighed. “Her father has been our driver for thirty years, so Huaizhou grew up with her and treats her like a younger sister.”

“But that’s not love. When Huaizhou returns this time, I’ll properly discipline him so he won’t do anything that hurts you.”

Jiang Yuxia hesitated, then smiled. “Whether or not Mr. Wei is around, I already consider you my family. I will take good care of you in the future.”

Old Madam Wei smiled and patted her hand. “You child…”

Then she took out a box from under the blanket on her lap and opened it. Inside was a vivid imperial green jade bracelet.

“What is this?”

“It was passed down from my mother. Xiaxia, today is your birthday. I don’t mean anything else—I just wish you a happy birthday.”

Jiang Yuxia’s grip tightened around the box, her expression softening with emotion. “Thank you, Grandma.”

She had almost forgotten—today was her birthday.

Since her family fell apart, she hadn’t celebrated it for a long time.

Suddenly, she remembered: yesterday, when Wei Huaizhou’s words were cut off—was he going to wish her a happy birthday?

Just as she was lost in thought, she heard the familiar rustling sound of pages turning.

Her future diary had updated again.

She immediately took out the blue-covered notebook.

【July 21: A gas leak occurs at Biluesea Coast Nursing Home, resulting in a major explosion. Although Old Madam Wei narrowly survives, she is severely injured, and many other elderly residents are killed or hurt. A tragic disaster… sigh.】

Without hesitation, Jiang Yuxia immediately put the notebook away.

She pushed Old Madam Wei’s wheelchair toward a security booth farther away from the nursing home entrance.

Old Madam Wei looked confused. “Xiaxia, why did you bring me here?”

“Grandma, wait here and don’t move. I just smelled something strange inside—it might be a gas leak. I’m going to notify the others.”

She quickly instructed the guard to alert security and evacuate the nursing home.

At the same time, she called the police and rushed back inside.

Old Madam Wei called after her, “Xiaxia, be careful!”

The entire nursing home had five floors, each with twelve VIP rooms, all currently occupied by elderly patients with limited mobility.

Although it was said to be a gas leak, there was no strong smell inside at all.

Jiang Yuxia found the head nurse and asked her to organize an evacuation.

The head nurse even thought she was joking.

“Miss Jiang, there’s no smell at all. Are you sure you didn’t misjudge it?”

Jiang Yuxia’s tone turned serious.

“If nothing happens, that’s fine. But if something does happen, can you bear the responsibility for the deaths and injuries?”

The nurse’s expression immediately tensed.

She definitely couldn’t afford to take that responsibility!

The elderly people living here all came from wealthy and influential backgrounds.

“Quick, evacuate all the patients,” the head nurse immediately ordered all the staff.

Jiang Yuxia ran from the first floor to the fifth floor, making sure no one was left inside the rooms before rushing back outside.

By then, the elderly residents had already filled the open courtyard.

Noise, crying, and phone calls overlapped chaotically.

Jiang Yuxia returned to Old Madam Wei’s side, and Ye Xiaoluo was already there as well.

The nursing home’s engineering manager was reporting the situation to Old Madam Wei:

“Our Biluesea Coast Nursing Home uses foreign pipeline technology. If there’s a gas leak, an alarm system would trigger immediately.”

Ye Xiaoluo said softly, “Could Miss Jiang have been mistaken? I didn’t smell anything either just now.”

The engineering manager glanced at Jiang Yuxia and continued, “We’ve already sent people to inspect all the pipelines and haven’t found any leak points.”

“Old Madam, we should focus on calming these frightened clients. If they realize we falsely reported an emergency, there could be serious backlash.”

Ye Xiaoluo echoed him, “Yes, and there are so many elderly patients who need oxygen support—this is putting lives at risk.”

But Old Madam Wei said firmly, “I trust Xiaxia’s judgment.”

The engineering manager turned to Jiang Yuxia. “Miss Jiang, this is not something to joke about.”

Jiang Yuxia glanced at the time. “I’ve already called the police. The relevant departments should be arriving soon. Just wait.”

Soon, sirens approached. Two police officers arrived with three gas company repair technicians.

“Who made the report?”

“I did,” Jiang Yuxia briefly explained what she had observed.

She insisted that she had smelled a strong, pungent odor.

The police officers and gas technicians entered the nursing home, followed by the engineering manager, while everyone else waited outside.

A short while later, two of the police officers rushed out with serious expressions.

They immediately called in additional support: “Send more personnel quickly! There are four gas leak points at Biluesea Coast Nursing Home! We’re starting evacuation procedures now!”

Ye Xiaoluo was stunned.

She couldn’t believe it—Jiang Yuxia had actually been right.
