161: Sincerity and Darkness in Friendship
Jiang Zhiyan was not in the mood to celebrate the Spring Festival at all.
Jiang Zhiyan was not very happy these days during the New Year celebrations in Dongcheng. The Jiang family is a large family with many people. During the New Year, everyone gathered in front of Old Lady Jiang to enjoy her love. Old Lady Jiang asked about Tangtang in public and reminded Jiang Zhiyan not to be too high-profile.
"As long as I'm alive, those shady things won't be able to enter the Jiang family's gate!"
Mrs. Jiang's words were powerful, and others echoed her. Everyone was very opposed to Jiang Zhiyan marrying an internet celebrity.
Jiang Zhiyan rolled his eyes on the spot, "Don't worry, she hasn't agreed to marry me yet."
Old Mrs. Jiang also said that Tangtang could not marry into the Jiang family, but the blood of the Jiang family could not be left outside. After Tangtang gave birth to the child and the DNA test showed that it was indeed Jiang Zhiyan's, the child must be taken back to the Jiang family to raise.
Little internet celebrities have little education, how can they know how to raise a child? If that child stays with Tangtang, he will definitely become a laughing stock in the Jiang family in the future.
Jiang Zhiyan thought that if he dared to fight with Tangtang for the custody of the child, Tangtang would probably fight him to the death with a knife!
But there is no need to say these things to Old Mrs. Jiang.
Old Mrs. Jiang has a strong personality. If Jiang Zhiyan keeps talking back, Old Mrs. Jiang will have no way to deal with Jiang Zhiyan and will put the blame on Tangtang!
Jiang Zhiyan endured it again and again and didn't get angry on the spot. Old Mrs. Jiang changed the subject and wanted to arrange a blind date for Jiang Zhiyan.
Jiang Zhiyan thought he had heard it wrong.
"Why arrange a blind date for me when the girl doesn't know about me and Tangtang?"
If his blind date didn't know about him and Tangtang, Jiang Zhiyan would have to reflect on whether he was not working hard enough. There are actually young women in China that the Huahu platform has not covered!
"I know. She said that this is a matter before your marriage and she won't interfere. After marriage, you have to be faithful to the marriage."
Old Mrs. Jiang explained the other party's situation to Jiang Zhiyan. She was rich from Hong Kong, graduated from a world-renowned university, and had two years of experience in her own company. After marrying Jiang Zhiyan, she would definitely be a good "good wife" to him.
How could Jiang Zhiyan have had such a good marriage partner before?
Several cousins present cast jealous glances at Jiang Zhiyan.
Jiang Zhiyan sneered secretly.
He knows his own worth very well. He has always dated internet celebrities and models and never messes with girls with excellent resumes and good social status. Isn't his attitude clear enough?
For a man of his average intelligence to find an exceptionally awesome wife, isn't that just offering his life to her?
Jiang Zhiyan refused to go on a blind date, and Mrs. Jiang was already annoyed. Now that she had a ready-made excuse, Jiang Zhiyan only took his ID and mobile phone charger and went straight to the airport.
Along the way, Jiang Zhiyan was worried about Gu Jun.
He thought that Gu Jun was too shy to recognize his biological mother whom he hadn't seen for many years. After hearing Gu Jun's basic situation, Jiang Zhiyan was furious.
…
"Is such a person worthy of being a mother?"
Jiang Zhiyan clenched and unclenched his fists, and repeated this several times, but his anger could not be calmed down.
Gu Jun was already calm. "Please help me find out about her background and find out how she immigrated. Xu Yao said that it would be very expensive to make a young painter famous. I want to know who is spending the money."
"Then what?"
Jiang Zhiyan asked.
Gu Jun said that Jiang Zhiyan didn't need to deal with the rest of the matter, but Jiang Zhiyan really wanted to help: "You don't consider me a friend!"
“Only capable people can be my friends.”
Gu Jun's provocation was so simple, it could be called a straight hook to fish, but Jiang Zhiyan was determined to hit the hook: "Besides holding her back in South City, you can actually investigate her abroad, right? As long as you give the order, I'll send someone—"
"Who did you send abroad to investigate her background? The people you can arrange are more or less related to the Jiang family. I don't want the Jiang family to know about this."
Gu Jun actually didn't want the Shen family to know.
However, the latter was more difficult to handle, so he did not give Jiang Zhiyan any hard targets.
The Jiang family is far away in East City and they won't be fully aware of what's happening in South City. However, the Shen family is rooted in South City, and the old fox Shen Zhongjun has been keeping an eye on Huahu, so they won't be able to hide any movement here from the other party.
Thinking of Shen Zhongjun, Gu Jun still had something he didn't understand.
In the past, Gu Jun was not sure whether Shen Zhongjun knew that he and Xu Yao had obtained a marriage certificate. On the day Xu Yao attended the class reunion, Shen Zhongjun had someone send Gu Jun red wine. Afterwards, Mrs. Shen Er never looked for Xu Yao, so he knew that Shen Zhongjun must have known about it a long time ago.
Shen Zhongjun didn't even expose him in front of Xu Yao. I really don't know what this old fox was thinking!
Jiang Zhiyan was very confident about his upcoming role as a nouveau riche. "My family won't care about such trivial matters. They are now trying to arrange a marriage between me and the wealthy family of Hong Kong City."
Jiang Zhiyan brushed aside the arranged blind date, but Gu Jun was very concerned: "Which one specifically?"
Jiang Zhiyan scratched his head. "I rejected the idea the moment my grandma brought it up. I don't know who it was. I only heard that the other party graduated from a world-renowned university and had two years of experience in the family company. She's a very good wife!"
Gu Jun looked at Jiang Zhiyan with complicated eyes.
This is not only a marriage, but also an arrangement of helpers for Jiang Zhiyan.
The Jiang family tried to intervene in Huahu many times but was blocked, and finally lost their patience.
Since Jiang Zhiyan was disobedient, the Jiang family replaced her with an obedient and capable person, and let the other person slowly interfere in Huahu's affairs in the identity of Jiang Zhiyan's wife.
Gu Jun noticed the Jiang family's relentless pressure.
Rather than waiting for the Jiang family to arrange Jiang Zhiyan's marriage, Gu Jun would be better off taking action. It would be better for him to marry Tangtang. Tangtang had no financial backing, and she wasn't the type of woman with big ambitions or sophisticated tactics. Gu Jun thought a lot in that brief moment. Jiang Zhiyan wasn't on guard against him, so he gave him a push from behind. Jiang Zhiyan and Tangtang... Gu Jun's words were on the tip of his tongue when he suddenly thought of Xu Yao.
Xu Yao asked him not to tell Jiang Zhiyan that Tangtang was hospitalized to protect the fetus.
Tangtang herself thinks so too.
On one hand, there is the potential crisis of Huahu's future, and on the other hand, there is the promise to Xu Yao. Gu Jun hesitated.
Reason tells him that he should put the interests of the company first, but emotionally, Gu Jun is unwilling to break his promise to Xu Yao.
"Hey, the look in your eyes is so weird, as if I'm a scumbag! It's just that my family wants me to get married, and I didn't agree!"
Jiang Zhiyan defended himself.
Gu Jun swallowed back what he was about to say: "I believe you."
Gu Jun's words were ambiguous, and Jiang Zhiyan patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, leave the matter of testing Fu Hong to me. I promise to do it beautifully for you!"
Gu Jun and Jiang Zhiyan discussed the details before going home.
Xu Yao had just gotten off the treadmill. "You're back?"
Gu Jun went forward and hugged her. Xu Yao struggled: "Hey, I'm all sweaty!"
"Yaoyao, let me hold you for a while, just for a while, okay?"
Gu Jun's voice became muffled, and Xu Yao quieted down.
She thought Gu Jun was still upset about Fu Hong's matter, but in fact, Gu Jun was spitting on his own dark thoughts. Jiang Zhiyan could rush back from Dongcheng just for a call from him, but he wanted to arrange Jiang Zhiyan's marriage because he was afraid of possible troubles in the future!
