Tang Li smiled knowingly and teased, "Sigh, I don't know who said they only treated her like a younger sister, but they were proven wrong so quickly. Jiang Jingxing, Jiang Jingxing, you've finally met your match."

Jiang Jingxing frowned slightly and said calmly, "Is it that obvious?"

"It's more than obvious! Your eyes are practically glued to that girl." Tang Li exaggeratedly said, "Anyone with eyes can see you're interested in Su Yan. Tell me, isn't that what you deserve?"

"..."

Jiang Jingxing remained silent.

Has his emotion become so overt now?

Tang Li stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying earnestly, "Su Yan is no ordinary girl. Her thinking is on par with ours. If you really want to be with her, you probably won't get many people's blessings."

Especially your parents, you know how much they value status. Plus, all the girls who have a crush on you come from wealthy families. Su Yan comes from an ordinary background; if they found out you've fallen for a girl from a small town, Su Yan would probably be in trouble. If you confess your feelings to her, she'll definitely think of that. Given her personality, she most likely won't be with you unless she really likes you and is willing to face any difficulties together.”

Most of the girls who pursued Jiang Jingxing were first attracted by the Jiang family's glory, and only secondly by him as a person.

If he hadn't lost the aura of being the grandson of General Jiang, Jiang Jingxing might not have been so remarkable.

Just listening to Tang Li's words made Jiang Jingxing's scalp tingle.

If being with him would cause him harm, he would rather not let Su Yan be with him.

Before he could say anything, Su Yan came downstairs with her luggage.

She rushed to Tang Li, anxiously asking, "Uncle Tang, what time is the ticket you bought for me? When will we arrive?"

"Don't rush, don't rush." ​​Tang Li said, raising his hand to check the time. "The tickets are from 4:50 to 4:30 in the morning. It's only 1 o'clock now. Wait here for a bit. Rushing will make mistakes, and we don't feel comfortable letting you go back alone."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan took a deep breath, then walked to the stool and sat down, tapping her head in frustration.

The "thump-thump" sound indicated that a lot of force was used.

Jiang Jingxing's face darkened instantly. He grabbed her hand and said angrily, "Why are you taking your anger out on yourself?"

"Brother Jiang, don't worry about me, I'm annoyed." Su Yan broke free from his hand and then leaned against the wall, lost in thought.

But her hands, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, betrayed her anxiety at that moment.

Seeing this, Jiang Jingxing immediately pulled Tang Li aside and said in a deep voice, "She cares a lot about her family, so I'm very worried about her current state. Grandpa has already woken up, so why don't you go back with her and take care of her? Call me anytime if there are any problems."

Tang Li: "?? No, if you want to pursue her, now is the best opportunity. Shouldn't you go back with her?"

"This is not the time to talk about these things!" Jiang Jingxing really wanted to dissect his brain to see what kind of garbage was inside. He said irritably, "My vacation ends tomorrow. I've been going out too many times lately, it's too obvious."

"OK!"

After Tang Li finished speaking, he walked up to Su Yan and said, "Su Yan, I don't have anything to do in Beijing. Why don't I go back with you? I'll drive, and it'll be faster if we leave now."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan immediately snapped out of her thoughts, stood up, and said impatiently, "Then let's go."

She had finally gained a family, but hadn't had a chance to properly take care of them yet, so she absolutely wouldn't allow anything to happen to anyone in her family.

Tang Li went back to the compound to get his car.

Jiang Jingxing instructed, "If Grandma's condition worsens, contact me immediately, and I will arrange for a hospital and doctor in Beijing."

Su Yan paused, then turned her head to gaze at him, and after a moment said, "Brother Jiang, thank you. I don't know how I can ever repay what you've done for our family. If there's anything I can do for you in the future, I will definitely not refuse."

Although Jiang Jingxing did not answer her question directly, she had already guessed a pretty close answer.

After much thought, she decided she didn't want a further relationship with him. She would repay any debts of gratitude she could, but she would deal with the rest when she became stronger.

In short, she didn't want to owe him too much; she was already somewhat unable to repay him.

Seeing her avoidance and estrangement, Jiang Jingxing pursed his lips and remained silent, his heart heavy with sorrow.

He wanted to help her, but she was thinking about how to repay him.

"Beep beep—!"

Tang Li drove his car across the street.

Su Yan had only a bag of luggage and the gifts she bought at the mall. Before leaving, she said to the man next to her, "Brother Jiang, I'm leaving now. Goodbye."

Jiang Jingxing stared at her small face and said softly, "Goodbye."

She sensed his bad mood and knew why, but she pretended not to notice.

Su Yan didn't say anything more, and ran over with her things.

Jiang Jingxing watched her get into the car and leave.

Only after the car had driven far away and disappeared from sight did he turn his gaze away, a barely perceptible trace of lingering affection flashing across his deep eyes.

He stood there for a few minutes before striding away.

All of this was observed by Yu Jin and Yang Yongle, who were hiding in the shadows.

After Jiang Jing walked away, the two emerged from the shadows.

Yu Jin narrowed his long, narrow eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

"Ha!" he suddenly sneered.

Yang Yongle scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "Brother Yu, what are you laughing at? Are you happy that Su Yan is gone?"

Yu Jin, in a very good mood, said, "No, I just discovered something interesting that I think everyone will be interested in. I'm considering whether to tell you or not."

"What's interesting?"

Yu Jin did not answer, the curve of his lips curving upwards with an unusually deep expression.

Yang Yongle's mind was racing.

Whatever it is, it must be related to Commander Jiang!

"Brother Yu, shouldn't we try to get along peacefully with Jiang's regiment from now on? You've been fighting behind the scenes for so many years, it's time to take a break. Besides, Jiang's regiment has the old general backing them up." He spoke cautiously.

The two of them combined aren't even enough to beat Jiang Jingxing alone.

Not to mention that the Jiang family was also dragged into it.

“Impossible.” Yu Jin refused outright, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth as he said, “In this life, it’s either him or me who dies.”

Yang Yongle had no choice but to stop trying to persuade him.

He didn't know what deep-seated hatred existed between Brother Yu and Commander Jiang, but ever since he transferred to Brother Yu's side, their struggle had never stopped.

To be precise.

Brother Yu was unwilling to let Commander Jiang go, but he failed every time he tried to take him down.

Commander Jiang never actually retaliated. Each time, he avoided Yu Ge's attempts to harm him, pretended not to know, and didn't care.

This is what he finds most incomprehensible.
