Chapter 55 Is this the tone you use to talk to me?

Lin Qing's crying and Gu Baozhu's shouting came to an abrupt end.

"Auntie Wang!" He shouted towards the kitchen.

A woman immediately trotted out and deftly cleaned up the glass fragments on the ground.

Jiang Yanbai's cold gaze swept over the two of them.

"I'll say this one last time."

He rubbed his throbbing temples. "I didn't let you live here to cause trouble. If you do it again, get out, no matter who you are!"

Get out.

These three words made Lin Qing's face turn pale instantly, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Brother Yanbai, it's not like that. I just..."

Before she could finish her words, Gu Baozhu beside her suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed her, causing her to stagger and almost fall.

This green tea, here she comes again!

Gu Baozhu cursed in her heart, but her face changed into a gentle and considerate look.

She walked quickly forward, took Jiang Yanbai's arm, pressed her body softly against him, and spoke in a delicate voice.

"Brother Yanbai, don't be angry. It's not worth getting yourself hurt over these little things."

She looked up, her eyes full of concern.

"Let's change our clothes and go to the old house. Don't keep uncle and the others waiting for too long."

Jiang Yanbai lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Um."

He let Gu Baozhu hold his arm and turned around to walk outside together.

The farce downstairs finally ended. Gu Miaomiao looked at the backs of the man and woman leaving together, and the curve of her lips deepened. She turned back to the room and locked the door neatly.

She walked to the bed and bent down to pick up the spare phone from under the bed.

Gu Miaomiao watched the farce finally end, went straight into the house, locked the door, and took out the spare phone.

Messages popped up one after another.

[Angel Wings is so popular, you did it on purpose, didn't you?]

"Didn't you say you would help me get revenge? Can you really do it?!"

Gu Miaomiao chuckled and replied.

【Don't be anxious, the process is not important, what is important is the result. 】

The other party replied immediately.

[Okay, I'll give you another half a month. If it doesn't work, I'll do it myself.]

Gu Miaomiao replied.

[Okay, let’s set the deadline at half a month.]

After she put the spare machine back.

He picked up his usual cell phone and dialed a number.

The other party picked up the call instantly.

"I went to the warehouse today and couldn't find the computer my father used to use."

Her voice was flat.

"Where are those old things?"

On the other end of the phone, Lin Yi paused for a moment as he recalled the past before speaking.

"Miss Gu, now that you mention it, I seem to remember it."

"Someone who claimed to be Mr. Gu's friend came and took the computer away."

Gu Miaomiao clenched her phone and suddenly became nervous.

"Who is that friend?"

"That... I don't know either."

She was about to ask further questions when the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped.

Instead, there was a cold and familiar male voice.

"Now, come to the Jiang family's old house to pick me up!"

It’s Jiangyan Bai.

Gu Miaomiao leaned against the head of the bed, a sarcastic arc at the corner of her lips.

"Boss Jiang has a personal driver, does he need me?"

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yanbai's veins bulged on the back of his hand holding the phone, and his tone was cold.

"I told you to come, so you have to come."

This is an order.

Unfortunately, she didn't take him seriously.

"No."

Gu Miaomiao uttered two words cleanly and clearly.

Then, he hung up the phone.

"beep!"

A busy tone sounded, and Jiang Yanbai's hand holding the phone froze in mid-air.

This woman dares to hang up on him?

How dare she!

The overwhelming rage was about to burn away his sanity.

Lin Yi, who was standing nearby, sensed that he was in a bad mood and was afraid of being implicated, so he lowered his head even lower.

"Boss Jiang, how about...I give Miss Gu another call?"

Jiang Yanbai's Adam's apple rolled and two words came out from between his teeth.

"Need not!"

He asked Gu Miaomiao to come just to find a legitimate reason to escape from this disgusting family dinner.

It's not like I want to see her.

Who would have thought that she would refuse directly.

Now, we can only find another way.

He threw the phone back to Lin Yi, and the moment he turned around, he happened to meet a pair of smiling eyes.

Gu Baozhu came over at some point. When she saw Jiang Yanbai's gloomy face and Lin Yi's respectful and frightened expression, her eyes instantly became full of vigilance.

Especially the action of throwing the phone, Gu Baozhu inexplicably felt that he seemed to have some secret.

But she also knew that now was not the time to pursue the matter, so she concealed her curiosity, smiled even sweeter, and intimately put her arm around Jiang Yanbai.

"Yanbai, what took you so long? My uncle was waiting anxiously, so he asked me to come look for you."

Jiang Yanbai pinched the aching area between his eyebrows and suppressed all his emotions.

"It's okay, I just have a headache."

He let Gu Baozhu hold his arm and returned to the dinner table where everyone was toasting but had their own agenda.

Sitting in the main seat, Jiang Dongwei looked at him with a very unhappy expression.

"Everyone is eating here, why are you away for so long?"

Jiang Dongwei's voice was not loud, but it carried a heavy sense of oppression.

Gu Baozhu immediately noticed that the atmosphere was not right and spoke up to smooth things over.

"Uncle, please don't blame Yan Bai. His head wound hasn't healed completely yet. He might have drunk a little bit of wine just now, so it hurts a little. I accompanied him out for some fresh air, and he's feeling much better now."

Jiang Jinnian, who was sitting next to Jiang Yanbai, sneered. The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone at the table to hear.

"Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you sit in the office all day, how could you bump your head? And what a coincidence, it happened today."

Jiang Yanbai raised his eyes and glanced at his younger brother coldly.

He didn't say a word.

Jiang Dongwei, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke, his eyes like an eagle, examining him.

"How is your Jiang Group running now?"

Jiang Yanbai put down the wine glass, and the bottom of the glass hit the table, making a slight crisp sound.

"Everything is not under your control. Doesn't your father know that?"

“Bang!”

A pair of ivory chopsticks were slammed down on the table.

Jiang Dongwei's face turned pale.

"How dare you! Is that how you talk to me?"

Jiang Yanbai's hands, hanging under the table, slowly clenched into fists, and the joints turned white.

Suddenly, he raised his head, his tone lacking any emotion.

"Father, everything is normal at the Jiang Group. The cooperation project with Wang's Jewelry is progressing smoothly, and the film and television department has also turned a profit."

Jiang Dongwei's expression finally relaxed. He picked up the napkin and slowly wiped the corners of his mouth, with satisfaction unconcealable in his eyes.

"Well, you are worthy of being my son, Jiang Dongwei."

He changed the subject and looked at Gu Baozhu, his smile becoming more genuine.

"Now that Baozhu has returned to China, she can help you. She is very familiar with the film and television industry. I'm afraid your film and television department will be able to reach a higher level."

Jiang Yanbai lowered his head respectfully, making it impossible to see his true emotions.

"It's my father's teaching that's good."
