When Jie Du woke up, it was past noon. Half a ray of sunlight barely crossed the threshold. His brain was still foggy from the hangover, and he couldn't remember where he was for a moment until he turned around and saw Lao Hei with a dazed expression.
Liu's main focus was on Jie Du. Old Hei was also drunk, but not as badly. He stared at Jie Du and muttered, "Chief, you're actually a virgin!"
Jiedu: "......"
He remembered. After drinking countless cups, he finally mustered the courage to reveal his intentions. His future mother-in-law smiled faintly and said: "My Chu family is not short of money. What makes you think you can marry my daughter?"
He was stunned.
Black Hawk Stronghold has some money, but it can't compare to the Chu family. As for fighting skills, they can't beat Chu Jinjin.
So what?
Aside from the unspeakable identity, it seems... it seems...
The alcohol made him feel hot-blooded, and he blurted out: I have never touched any woman.
His future mother-in-law was shocked and sprayed him with wine.
Old Hei's gaze suddenly softened: "Chief, don't be embarrassed, this is a plus. It's common to see young women your age..."
Jiedu: "Shut up!"
He didn't care much about such things and didn't feel embarrassed about it, but the way it was done...
Jie Du took a deep breath, rolled out of bed, and walked outside.
The servant, who had been standing guard at the door, heard everything clearly and quickly bowed, saying, "Young Master Xie, you're awake. Miss came by several times. I'll go tell her right away."
She pretended not to know anything, but her eyes betrayed her.
Jie Du waved his hand with a straight face: "No need, I have things to attend to, I'll take my leave now."
He doesn't want to see anyone right now!
I wish I could jump over the wall and escape.
As soon as I left the hospital, I saw a familiar figure.
Chu Jinjin greeted him with a smile: "Chief Jie."
Jie Du was dazzled by her smile, and felt a warm glow all over his body. Just as Lao Hei had said, this was a plus, and he straightened his back.
This definitely earns Chu Jinjin points, and she even feels some respect for her.
Let alone in ancient times when men were respected, even in later generations, there are not many men in their twenties who are so chaste and self-disciplined unless they have some unspeakable secret.
Chu Jinjin felt this precious sincerity, but he couldn't accept it.
Feelings are a strange thing; you can't force them. Her feelings for Jiedu were those of a friend she could talk to, and perhaps, if she went a little deeper, they could become brothers.
There was no romantic relationship between men and women.
Furthermore, she vaguely knew what path Jiedu would take in the future; she could help, but she couldn't accompany him.
I doubt he would give up something for a relationship.
So Chu Jinjin had already thought it through on her way here.
Chu Jinjin said directly, "Chief Xie, I already have someone I love."
Jie Du was taken aback: "Who?"
Chu Jinjin tried her best to look shy: "Zhan Qin."
If someone were to be told out of thin air that a person had just been divorced, and given Jie Du's understanding of her, it would be very difficult to believe.
Zhan Qin is different; he has good conditions in all aspects, and he also has the added advantage of his father's side.
Chu Jinjin was too engrossed to hear the soft footsteps behind her, and continued with a heavy heart: "My father knows me best and knows what kind of man I like. To be honest, Chief Jie, I was smitten at first sight, and, moreover, he can marry into the family."
Jie Du looked past her and at the figure behind her, and said in a low voice, "Did he really agree?"
Chu Jinjin forced herself to make up a story: "Of course, Zhan Qin also likes me, and he even wrote me a poem."
Jie Du slowly shook his head: "I don't believe it, Zhan Qin, you tell me yourself."
Chu Jinjin finally realized something and suddenly turned around: "..."
How embarrassing.
What I worry about more than embarrassment is the fear of being exposed and not being able to find a more suitable excuse.
Zhan Qin walked to her side with a book in his hand, his expression indifferent: "Chief Xie, what Jin Jin said is exactly what I meant. To have Jin Jin is the greatest fortune of my life."
Chu Jinjin: "......"
She knew it was fake, but she didn't expect Zhan Qin to cooperate so well.
After a long, deathly silence, Jie Du suddenly laughed: "Zhan Qin, I really shouldn't have let you go."
Zhan Qin remained expressionless, then suddenly changed his form of address: "Jie Du, you cannot give Miss Chu happiness."
Chu Jinjin frowned. According to her father, Jie Du wanted Zhan Qin to be his strategist. She found it a bit strange at the time, but it didn't concern her, so she didn't think much of it.
In the prestigious Black Eagle Mountain Stronghold, the strategist is second only to the stronghold chief.
Did the two know each other before or something?
Why did Zhan Qin refuse?
Jie Du suddenly burst into laughter: "You're right, I shouldn't ask for too much."
After saying that, he cupped his hands in greeting and strode away.
Chu Jinjin felt a pang of sympathy for Xie. She sensed that Xie's words weren't solely due to the rejection of his marriage proposal; there seemed to be other reasons as well.
Zhan Qin said calmly, "Miss Jinjin, if you don't want to, you can refuse directly. Jie Du is not the kind of person who pesters others relentlessly."
Chu Jinjin was still pondering: "Have you two known each other for a long time?"
Zhan Qin lowered his eyes: "I guess so."
Chu Jinjin didn't ask any further questions; it had nothing to do with her.
She suspected there were some hidden reasons behind their identities, but she didn't want to know or get involved. She said softly, "I had no choice just now, Mr. Zhan, you don't need to think too much about it."
“I haven’t thought about it much, and I won’t.” Zhan Qin glanced at her. “This is the first time Jie Du has fallen in love. She must be very heartbroken.”
Chu Jinjin raised an eyebrow: "It's not that serious."
Many men liked her, mostly because of the Chu family's money and her looks. But those who truly liked her as a person, like Xu Wenda, admired her unique personality and insight that set her apart from others in the world.
