Licking Dog 9

Chapter 9

As soon as Yu Rubing arrived, she discovered that apart from the Jiang family, only the service staff were left today, and there were very few friends of the Jiang family.

The reason Jiang Yi gave that day was probably just an excuse.

Why do you have to make this excuse?

Is it just because you want to see Yu Rubing?

Yu Rubing couldn't figure it out, so when she saw Jiang Yi rushing over, she said to him directly, "It seems like whether I come today or not doesn't make any difference, right?"

Jiang Yi didn't feel embarrassed by Yu Rubing's ruthless rebuke. Instead, he said calmly, "It's important to come or not. Only by deepening my relationship with my sister, and if I end up begging for food, will my sister be able to offer me a job."

The two smiled at each other and walked straight towards Mr. Jiang.

Yu Rubing was the last one to arrive. After that, everyone boarded the cruise ship.

A few minutes before the cruise ship departed, Jiang Li and a group of people also boarded the cruise ship. That group of people were all the backbone of the company, and only Mu Xiaoyun had the least experience.

The moment Mu Xiaoyun boarded the cruise ship, Jiang's father and mother's faces instantly turned ugly. Jiang's father was very angry and seemed to want to scold Jiang Li, but was finally stopped by Jiang's mother.

When Yu Rubing also arrived, Jiang's mother came running over with a smile, saying that Jiang Li would definitely be happy that Yu Rubing came, and took the opportunity to speak well of Jiang Li.

Yu Rubing told Jiang's mother mercilessly that she came at Jiang Yi's invitation, and if Jiang Li had invited her, she would definitely not come.

Yu Rubing, who used to please and even flatter her, looked at her indescribably when she saw her speaking so harshly.

He didn't want to fall out with Yu Rubing, but he had to suppress his surging anger.

He left in embarrassment.

Yu Rubing didn't even want to give a gentle look to this elder who was trying so hard to please her.

Jiang Li's ruthless character is inseparable from his parents' careful teaching.

In the original plot, in order to be with Jiang Li, the original owner tried her best to please her future mother-in-law. Because the original owner was doing business herself, she was very well-off financially.

Although Jiang's mother is a member of the Jiang family, she is not directly involved in the management of the company, and the money in her hands cannot be spent casually. The original owner's way of pleasing Jiang's mother is to be extremely generous to this future mother-in-law.

From the jewelry Jiang's mother wore to the gambling money on the mahjong table where Jiang's mother spent a lot of money, they all came from the original owner.

When Jiang's father's company was short of funds, it was the original owner who stepped forward to help.

Later, when Jiang Li took over the power of the Jiang family and wanted to take Mu Xiaoyun into the family, Jiang's father and mother had an ambiguous attitude; when the original owner fell into trouble and was imprisoned, Jiang Li killed his father and mother, but Jiang's father and mother remained indifferent.

Later, when Mr. Jiang wanted to take his family abroad, Jiang's father and mother had no intention of going, and they had no choice but to go with him.

Although the original plot ended abruptly and was not stated explicitly, Yu Rubing could guess that based on the personalities of Jiang's father and mother, they would definitely come back.

The family of four lived on in love, and as for the future daughter-in-law, she had probably long forgotten about her.

Since Jiang's father and mother are heartless and ungrateful, Yu Rubing naturally won't care about any feelings.

As soon as they boarded the cruise ship, Yu Rubing stayed with Jiang Yi and Old Man Jiang.

A group of people sailed to the island in a mighty manner. The cruise ship was like a sharp arrow sailing on the sea, leaving a hole in the sea surface in an instant. The cries of seagulls were endless in the ears, and the sea breeze blowing in the face also made people feel refreshed.

Old Mr. Jiang was old and couldn't stand the sea breeze, so he sat in the cabin. Jiang Yi and Yu Rubing chatted with the old man for a while. The old man was afraid that they would be bored, so he sent them out to play.

The two men went up on the deck and looked at the fleeting sea. Yu Rubing looked lost in thought, while Jiang Yi stared at Yu Rubing absentmindedly.

Because they were going out to sea and might have to climb mountains on the island, Yu Rubing wore a sports suit. Although it didn't particularly highlight her figure, she was able to wear the sports suit in a different way thanks to her good figure.

Not to mention Yu Rubing's beautiful face that could bring disaster to the country.

Jiang Yi started out by glancing at her occasionally, and later on he stared at her intently. Even if Yu Rubing was slow to react, she would still feel uncomfortable under that gaze.

Yu Rubing looked back at Jiang Li. Only the general outline of her eyes could be seen behind the sunglasses, and it was unclear what kind of mood Yu Rubing's eyes revealed.

Jiang Yi was so shocked by Yu Rubing's look that he immediately woke up from his trance.

"elder sister!"

Jiang Yi called out in an apologetic tone.

Jiang Yi knew that anyone would feel uncomfortable if they stared at him with such a rude look. He wondered if his sister was frightened by being stared at?

Jiang Yi is particularly good at playing innocent, especially when he knows that he has been abrupt, that innocent state comes out without any hesitation.

What's even more interesting is that when he plays innocent, he doesn't feel annoying at all, but rather has a different kind of cuteness. Don't even think about being angry with him. When those innocent eyes roll around, your heart instantly melts into a puddle, and you just want to reach out and pinch that charming little face that looks like a "little goblin".

As Yu Rubing was thinking this, she reached out her hand and gently pinched Jiang Yi's jaw.

The soft and delicate touch between her fingers made Yu Rubing pause.

Yu Rubing pinched her jaw tightly again, shook it gently, and said to him in a feigned anger, "If you let me pinch you, I won't mind you looking at me with lustful eyes just now."

When Yu Rubing was organizing these words in his mind, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but once the words came out of his mouth and reached his ears, it felt wrong.

Although Yu Rubing just wanted to make a joke, like a sister teasing her brother, the joke seemed like it was only suitable for young lovers.

Her relationship with Jiang Yi—she was the one who was abrupt!

Yu Rubing immediately withdrew her hand, turned to look at the sea, and tried to change the subject.

Jiang Yi was very considerate and followed her words, as if nothing had happened just now, but his eyes hinted at the shock that Yu Rubing's actions had brought to him.

That kind of obscure emotion that was worth pondering slowly fermented in Jiang Yi's eyes, and finally turned into a particularly conspicuous ambiguous smile on Jiang Yi's lips, which had nothing to do with the content of the conversation between Jiang Yi and Yu Rubing.

The smile was fleeting, but Yu Rubing saw it all. Although she wanted to explain that he was overthinking it, the explanation would make her seem like a guilty thief, so she simply pretended not to see it.

The two were chatting happily on the deck. In a certain position in the cabin where they could see the deck, Jiang's mother was staring at the backs of the two people with anxious eyes.

The moment Yu Rubing raised her hand to pinch Jiang Yi's face, that scene was like a needle piercing her heart, and Jiang's mother's breathing suddenly became irregular.

A long-suppressed anger and anxiety rose and exploded in Jiang's mother's chest. She watched helplessly as the night pearl she had obtained was about to be snatched away by someone else. The extreme panic and helplessness made it impossible for her to calm down.

Mother Jiang glanced at Father Jiang beside her. Father Jiang, who had also witnessed the scene just now, was also frowning, and the restlessness between his brows was self-evident.

Seeing Father Jiang remain silent, Mother Jiang couldn't hold back any longer. "Why don't you think of a solution? Are you just going to watch Bingbing and the Third Brother's family get closer and closer?"

Jiang's father sighed deeply. Of course, he didn't want to watch. His words were filled with a deep sense of powerlessness. "You saw it all. Ever since that dinner, Bingbing has been giving Jiang Li the cold shoulder. I thought they were just having a quarrel, but now it seems there's more to it than meets the eye."

These words hit the nail on the head, and Jiang's mother quickly echoed Jiang's father, saying, "I think so too. In the past, even if we had conflicts, Bingbing would just get upset and be fine after a few days. But now, it seems like she's really dead to Jiang Lixin. Even when I took the initiative to get close to her, she acted like she wanted to distance herself from me."

Jiang's mother grew increasingly worried as she spoke. "Jiang Li hasn't secured his position yet. Having lost the powerful support of the Yu family, his situation was already precarious. Now, this brat Jiang Yi has gotten involved." Speaking of Jiang Yi, Jiang's mother's face was filled with hatred. "This brat has no good intentions at all. His motives for approaching Bingbing are definitely not pure."

Jiang's father nodded, agreeing with Jiang's mother's point of view. "You have a point, but the problem still lies with Jiang Li."

Speaking of Jiang Li, Jiang's father looked very disappointed. "You've seen it before. Bingbing was very devoted to Jiang Li, but that brat Jiang Li didn't take it seriously at all. This girl is outstanding in every way, but Jiang Li just didn't take her night-shining pearl seriously."

“Put yourself in their shoes; everyone gets tired sometimes.”

"What should we do?" After hearing Jiang's father's analysis, Jiang's mother became even more anxious. "This time when we went to the island, that brat Jiang Li brought that female assistant with him again. Wouldn't Bingbing be even more disappointed when she saw him?"

"What?" Jiang's father's eyes widened when he heard what his mother said. "Is this brat crazy? I'll go find him and see how he explains it."

Jiang's mother immediately stopped Jiang's father and tried to dissuade him, "He's already brought it here, what's the point of arguing with him?"

"Is this brat becoming more and more unscrupulous?" Jiang's father was still thinking about giving Jiang Li a good beating.

Fearing the situation would get out of hand, Jiang's mother quickly grabbed Jiang's father's arm and said, "You know Jiang Li's temper. The more you scold him, the more he'll become against you. Once his relationship with the female assistant is made public, there'll be no turning back."

Jiang's father listened to Jiang's mother's advice and gave up the thought of lecturing Jiang Li. He pondered for a moment, "Your concerns are justified. It's best not to make it public right now. We need to find a way to make Yu Rubing understand that what happened between Jiang Li and the female assistant was a misunderstanding and that Jiang Li only has Yu Rubing in his heart. Only then can we make amends."

Jiang's mother also nodded. "Then you should try to talk to Jiang Li. Even if you have to pretend, you should pretend to like Yu Rubing. When Jiang Li gets a stable position, if he wants to be with the female assistant, then let him do it."

Jiang's father also agreed, "I'll go talk to him. I believe he's not that confused yet."

After the two of them decided, they considered how to talk to Jiang Li.
