Lu Jingnian's words were a deliberate reference to his relationship with Jiang Yue.

Pei Huai glanced at Jiang Yue, smiled, and then said, "I didn't expect to become partners with Jiang Yue, but I feel honored to be able to work with her."

Lu Jingnian can assert his sovereignty, and he can also express his affection for Jiang Yue.

Anyway, it's all about getting angry at Lu Jingnian, and Pei Huai knows exactly how to handle it.

"By the way, Lu Jingnian, what happened to your leg?" Pei Huai asked, knowing the answer already, as he looked at his leg.

How could Lu Jingnian not understand the meaning behind Pei Huai's words? He was indeed angry, but he was even angrier at himself for being stupid. He now deeply regretted why he had chosen to keep it from Jiang Yue back then.

He must have been in the sea for days and lost his mind.

"He's injured."

Lu Jingnian gave a brief explanation, not wanting to pay any more attention to Pei Huai. He then turned his gaze to Jiang Yue, who was helping Pei Huai with his luggage, and said to Song Gang beside him, "Yueyue is not in good health. It's very difficult for her to carry such heavy luggage. Why don't you go and help Mr. Pei put his luggage in?"

Isn't Lu Jingnian a tough guy?

They even know how to use tea-related language?

Before Jiang Yue could even react, Song Gang pushed Lu Jingnian to her side and took the suitcase from her hands.

"No……"

Jiang Yue wanted to say no, but before she could finish speaking, Lu Jingnian interrupted her.

Lu Jingnian looked at her and said softly, "Let Song Gang help carry it. Do you and Mr. Pei still have work-related matters to discuss?"

I'll definitely disturb you if I go in, so I'll just wait for you at the door. Don't worry about me, work is more important.

He knows a little about tea ceremony.

Jiang Yue looked at him. Lu Jingnian's cold and handsome face was now sickly pale, and his deep eyes held a hint of grievance, making him look extremely pitiful.

Pei Huai, who was standing to the side, was stunned. When he first met Lu Jingnian, Lu Jingnian always had a cold face and rarely spoke. He thought Lu Jingnian was the kind of cold and taciturn person, after all, his nickname was "Living Yama".

I never expected him to be like this, Lu Jingnian!

"I never expected Battalion Commander Lu to be so understanding. Jiang Yue, you are truly blessed."

Pei Huai walked over and took the suitcase from Song Gang's hand. "My suitcase isn't heavy either, I can carry it myself."

When we got off the bus, it was easier for Jiang Yue to carry the suitcase, so I helped him take it down.

Pei Huai was surprised by Lu Jingnian's words. He picked up his suitcase and continued, "Yao Hua told me that the villa has been prepared. Although Jiang Yue and I have work to discuss, the villa is quite spacious. There's no need for Battalion Commander Lu to wait outside; we can wait inside.

"Don't call me Battalion Commander Lu anymore, I've already retired from the army." Lu Jingnian curled his lips, his smile somewhat bitter. "I'm just an idle person now, you can just call me Lu Jingnian."

"You've been discharged from the military?"

Pei Huai really didn't know that.

"Sorry, I don't know."

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Jingnian smiled nonchalantly and looked at Jiang Yue, "Won't my going in disturb you?"

Jiang Yue was unaware of Lu Jingnian's discharge from the military. Seeing him sitting in his wheelchair, looking up at her cautiously, Jiang Yue sighed inwardly and said, "You should go home first."

She had no intention of entering Pei Huai's villa at all.

Acting aside, Jiang Yue still had a sense of propriety. She and Pei Huai did have work to discuss, but not at the villa. They were going to look at some good locations, where others were waiting, and it was uncertain when they would be able to return.

Lu Jingnian's leg was still not healed and was in pain. Although Jiang Yue acted as if she didn't want to talk to him, she still felt sorry for him and didn't want him to suffer like this.

"I see?"

Lu Jingnian smiled gently at Jiang Yue, but the smile looked somewhat forced. "Then I'll go home and wait for you."

Jiang Yue really couldn't stand him like this. When did he learn to be so pretentious?

She looked like a wronged little wife.

She walked over and grasped the handle of the wheelchair, saying to Pei Huai, "Go home and put your things down first. We'll leave in ten minutes. I've already contacted Lao Chen and the others; they should be here by now. We need to hurry too."

"clear."

Pei Huai had long guessed that Jiang Yue wouldn't come to his house. Having known Jiang Yue for so long, she had always been very polite to him, keeping a great distance, for fear of spreading any bad rumors about him.

After agreeing with Pei Huai, Jiang Yue pushed Lu Jingnian back home.

On the way, Lu Jingnian still asked in a teasy tone, "Did I disturb your work? I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me..."

"Shut up."

Jiang Yue couldn't stand his cryptic remarks. "I told you not to let me see you for the next few days."

That scoundrel ignored her words.

You can pretend I don't exist.

Lu Jing replied softly.

Jiang Yue: "..."

It's definitely impossible to stop him from following Jiang Yue.

Without saying anything, Jiang Yue pushed him back home.

At home, Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu were present, along with Aunt Yu and Xiao Yuye.

Jiang Yue ushered Lu Jingnian into the living room, greeted them, told them she had to go to work, and then left.

He didn't say a single word to Lu Jingnian.

Watching Jiang Yue leave, Lu's father asked him in a low voice, "Has Yueyue not forgiven you yet?"

Lu Jingnian pursed his lips and remained silent.

Mr. Lu gave him a disdainful look. "Useless."

Lu Jingnian: "..."

A short while later, Song Gang came in.

Upon seeing Song Gang, Lu Jingnian said to his father, "Dad, I have to go out for a bit."

Mr. Lu waved his hand, indicating that he understood.

As they left the villa, Song Gang said in a low voice, "We've found out who that thing is, but he's quite cunning. He's gone into hiding, and the master is currently looking for where he's hiding. It will take some time before we can deal with him."

"As long as Yueyue and Guilai are not in any danger again, that's fine."

After Lu Jingnian finished speaking, he saw that Jiang Yue's car was no longer outside, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Song Gang quickly continued, "My sister-in-law and Pei Huai drove out together. I asked Cheng Wei about it. My sister-in-law asked Pei Huai to come here to buy some land. She originally wanted Shen Huaiyuan to come, but Shen Huaiyuan had other things to do and was held up, so she could only ask Pei Huai to come."

"Do you know which plots of land she wants?" Lu Jingnian asked.

Upon hearing his question, Song Gang's eyes widened immediately. "Boss, are you trying to pull strings to help your sister-in-law get those plots of land?"

In the past, their boss would never have done something like this.

“The competition in the southern market is too fierce, and there are too many people with connections. If Yueyue wants to develop here, it’s definitely not possible without connections.”

Lu Jingnian smiled, recalling Jiang Yue's fierce tone when she told him to shut up. "I just want her to be treated fairly. I believe in her abilities."

"Then let me ask."

After finishing his sentence, Song Gang immediately called the person he had arranged to ask Jiang Yue about buying the land.
