Licking Dog 8

Chapter 8

Listening to the two Jiang brothers bickering with each other, the jealousy on Mu Xiaoyun's face became more and more obvious.

Yu Rubing simply added a handful of firewood. She glanced at Mu Xiaoyun with a smug look in her eyes. When Mu Xiaoyun stared at her, her jealousy was about to burst out.

Yu Rubing curled the corners of her mouth towards Jiang Li with satisfaction.

As expected!

The vinegar jar was overturned in an instant.

Mu Xiaoyun, who had been holding back her words, suddenly pulled her arm away from Jiang Li's. Her voice was so cold it looked like ice chips were falling off. "Mr. Jiang, I have something else to do. I won't bother you any more. Please take your time shopping. Have a good time."

It was a sentence that sounded unpleasant to begin with, and the word "happy" was almost uttered through gritted teeth.

Jiang Li was suddenly at a loss.

Before she could explain, Mu Xiaoyun walked away.

Jiang Li quickly pulled her aside and foolishly asked her the reason, "Xiao Yun, didn't we agree to go shopping together? Why are you leaving so suddenly?"

She said it without asking. But now that she was asked, Mu Xiaoyun could no longer hold back. She fiercely shook off Jiang Li's arm and said in a voice even colder than before, "I'm afraid that going shopping with me will waste Mr. Jiang's time."

Jiang Li quickly shut his mouth after being scolded, his brain quickly thinking about how he had offended Mu Xiaoyun.

Looking at the two people who were arguing, Yu Rubing kindly reminded them, "I would have left too! You were clearly accompanying someone on a stroll, but as soon as you bumped into me, you couldn't move a step. How hateful are you?"

As soon as Yu Rubing said this, Mu Xiaoyun ran out almost as if she was fleeing in panic, and her back looked so miserable.

Jiang Li’s head suddenly became big!

He finally understood and regretted not turning around and leaving when he saw the two of them. He hurried over to comfort Mu Xiaoyun, and before leaving, he didn't forget to warn Yu Rubing, "Don't sow discord. Anyone who sees you will be unable to walk."

Yu Rubing was too lazy to talk to him anymore and just gestured to him to "go away".

As the two annoying people walked away, Yu Rubing let out a long sigh and complained, "I'm so annoyed."

Jiang Yi looked at Yu Rubing with a hint of apology in his eyes, "Sorry! I didn't know he would be here. I'm sorry for affecting your good mood."

"Not really!" Yu Rubing smiled and looked in the direction where the two people walked away. "This show is much more interesting than the fish."

Hearing the teasing in Yu Rubing's words, Jiang Yi let out a helpless smile and looked in the direction Yu Rubing was looking. "He's always like this, shooting himself in the foot."

Yu Rubing also laughed when she heard this, but her mind was not on laughing at Jiang Li, but on Jiang Yi's attitude of daring to go against Jiang Li.

Jiang Yi would not fail to see that Old Master Jiang valued Jiang Li, and Jiang Li would definitely be in charge of the Jiang family business in the future, which was also the case in the original plot.

Jiang Yi will have to depend on Jiang Li for his livelihood in the future, so how dare he offend Jiang Li?

Yu Rubing thought about this and asked, "You've offended Jiang Li. Aren't you afraid that you'll have nothing to eat in the future?"

Jiang Yi understood what Yu Rubing meant, but he didn't take it seriously. "I'm not afraid! I've saved some money over the years I've been with the Jiang family. When I was studying abroad, I invested this money and made a lot of money. So even if I don't rely on the Jiang family, I won't starve."

"I originally planned to develop abroad in the future, but now I have changed my mind."

"What change of mind?" Yu Rubing asked casually.

Jiang Yi did not answer, but looked at Yu Rubing quietly. His eyes were like the calm surface of a lake, without a trace of ripples. However, beneath the calm surface of the lake, there seemed to be a huge eye hidden, and that eye was staring at Yu Rubing intently.

It seemed as if he was reluctant to let go of any slight change in his emotions.

Yu Rubing had seen this kind of inquiring look in Jiang Yi's eyes several times.

Yu Rubing was a little confused. Why did Jiang Yi look at her like that?

Yu Rubing could see that this look didn't carry any malice, but it was overly concerned. Jiang Yi had changed his mind, so why was he paying so much attention to her opinion?

Yu Rubing felt strange!

Yu Rubing became even more curious about Jiang Yi.

The overview of the entire original plot only talks about how after the original owner passed away, Jiang Li brought Mu Xiaoyun home, and Grandpa Jiang took his family abroad. The detailed plot description ends here.

There is not much description of Jiang Yi. It only mentions that he met the original owner a few times after returning to China, and his final outcome is not described.

Yu Rubing guessed that in the original plot, Jiang Yi finally chose to go abroad, and the reason why Mr. Jiang took his family abroad was probably related to Jiang Yi being abroad.

But now, for some unknown reason, Jiang Yi changed his mind.

Yu Rubing couldn't figure it out either, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

Just as she was thinking about this, Jiang Yi suddenly changed his tone, "However, there are also disadvantages to offending my brother. When the Jiang family divides up their property in the future, I'm afraid my brother won't give me my share easily."

"elder sister!"

Jiang Yi called her and Yu Rubing looked at him subconsciously.

Jiang Yi opened his innocent eyes, and his handsome face showed a bit of grievance. Because he was a head taller than Yu Rubing, Yu Rubing could only look up at Jiang Yi.

From this angle, Jiang Yi's tall stature creates an intimidating presence, his still somewhat immature face exudes a resolute look, and his eyes are more like a bottomless pool.

Although he tried his best to act pitiful, Yu Rubing could not detect a trace of pity. It was more like watching a big bad wolf pretending to be a little white rabbit.

"This is all to protect you. Seeing me lose so much property, do you feel even a little bit guilty?"

"Guilt?"

Yu Rubing repeated it with a questioning tone, as if questioning whether she felt guilty. Then she quickly came up with the answer and said happily, "Of course not!"

Jiang Yi's inquiring eyes moved slightly, but they were still very gentle, as if his impression of the sister in front of him did not change much because of the cold-blooded answer.

"But?" Yu Rubing continued, "Now that you mention it, it reminds me."

"What did it remind you of?" Jiang Yi seemed very interested in Rubing's answer.

Yu Rubing told him, "Originally, I was thinking, if you can't inherit the family fortune, if your overseas investments lose money and you end up living on the streets, then considering you've protected me before, I could hire you as my driver. I'll pay him 6,000 a month, but if you were in my place, I could raise that to 8,000 a month."

After hearing the answer given by Yu Rubing, Jiang Yi felt both amused and helpless.

"But I can't hire you now, because you just reminded me. If I see you often in the future, I'm afraid it will bring back memories and make me feel guilty. So I'd better pretend I don't know you."

"Sister" Jiang Yi really wanted to give Yu Rubing, the representative of sobriety, a thumbs-up: "You are smarter than I thought."

Yu Rubing nodded, indicating that she enjoyed Jiang Yi's praise. "Thank you for the compliment!"

Yu Rubing thought to herself, you want to play the role of a sickly younger brother in front of me? You’re dreaming.

The two of them walked and talked, but Jiang Yi did not intend to give up. Instead, he came up with another idea: "Sister, in fact, if that day really comes, I will definitely not come to you, because I don't want you to see me like that."

"So," he said, giving a charming and well-behaved smile, "while I'm still on the streets, I'll pester you as much as I can."

"Next week, my family is going on a sea trip together, and everyone will invite their close friends to go with us. I've been abroad for so many years, and I don't have any friends back home anymore. It would be awkward to go without anyone, so I want to invite my sister over."

"Sister, will you accept my invitation?" Jiang Yi opened his eyes expectantly, and his pitiful look was so alluring.

Even a seasoned time traveler like Yu Rubing couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement, but she remained calm and said, "You don't need to invite me. Grandpa Jiang will definitely invite me, and I'll just go with you. So it doesn't make any difference."

"There is a difference!" Jiang Yi immediately denied it and explained the "difference" very seriously. "Sis, if you accept my invitation, you will attend as my friend. If it was Grandpa who invited you, you will attend as a guest of the Jiang family."

"Sister, it's different."

Yu Rubing seemed to understand what he meant. "So you think that since everyone in your family brings their friends, and you're the only one without friends, you'll seem lonely?"

Jiang Yi nodded sincerely, and did not forget to praise Yu Rubing again, "Sister, you are so smart."

It seems that the child's purpose is very simple. Yu Rubing simply agreed to this simple and slightly humble request.

"Okay! I accept the invitation!"

Hearing Yu Rubing's agreement, Jiang Yi was even happier. The two of them walked and talked, and Jiang Yi explained more enthusiastically. He also said that a new restaurant had opened in the aquarium. The restaurant was made entirely of glass, and the underwater scenery was unobstructed, making it a particularly romantic place to dine.

Yu Rubing nodded in agreement and praised Jiang Yi for his thoughtfulness.

*

Although Mr. Jiang has been a leader in the business world for many years, he is actually an ordinary old man at heart and likes to see his family together.

The Jiang family holds activities like outings to the sea every year.

The location for this year's outing was chosen to be on an island fifty kilometers away from overseas.

This island has beautiful scenery and pleasant views. It has been developed into a tourist attraction, so it has all the necessary facilities and is home to dozens of families. It does not look desolate at all.

Yu Rubing followed the Jiang family and took them to the island on a special cruise ship.

If nothing goes wrong, we will stay on the island for another night.

When Yu Rubing arrived, she saw Jiang Yi chatting with Old Man Jiang. As soon as Jiang Yi saw Yu Rubing, he waved to her, a bright smile on his handsome face, and said to Old Man Jiang, "Grandpa, my sister came here today for my sake."

Old Master Jiang also smiled happily. He liked Yu Rubing in the first place, so of course he was happy to see her coming.

Jiang Li also saw Yu Rubing. As expected by Yu Rubing, his expression was very ugly and he obviously didn't like her visit.

However, because of the presence of the Jiang family, he had to hide his dissatisfaction in his heart.

What surprised Yu Rubing was that Mu Xiaoyun also came. If it were in her previous life, Jiang Li had angered Mu Xiaoyun, it would have taken more than a month for Mu Xiaoyun to forgive Jiang Li.

Moreover, in her previous life, Mu Xiaoyun was not someone who would bow her head easily, but in this life, Mu Xiaoyun seemed to be much more easy-going.

Maybe the plot is being re-told, and I am not following the original plot, so the corresponding male and female protagonists’ characters will also be loosened!

When Mu Xiaoyun saw Yu Rubing for the first time, her face immediately became gloomy, and her suspicious eyes kept wandering over Yu Rubing.

Mu Xiaoyun didn't know that she came here for Jiang Yi's face. Perhaps she guessed in her mind that she was invited by Jiang Yi.

After all, in Mu Xiaoyun's eyes, the person Yu Rubing likes is still Jiang Li.

Yu Rubing guessed correctly, Mu Xiaoyun had indeed misunderstood. When she was staring at Yu Rubing, Jiang Li, with a worried look on his face, hurried over.

Mu Xiaoyun looked at Jiang Li who came to explain, turned around and left the place. Jiang Li hurriedly followed her, and the two hid in a secluded place.

Yu Rubing didn't bother to care what they said, out of sight, out of mind was the best.

When Jiang Yi saw Yu Rubing walking towards him, he also walked over step by step to meet Yu Rubing.
