Gu Mang remained silent on the other end of the phone.
Even over the phone, Bai Jingyuan could guess that he was currently wearing an expressionless, icy face.
His most signature skill is his ability to keep his emotions hidden.
"Third Brother," Bai Jingyuan coughed lightly twice, "don't you have anything to say?"
"What are you saying?" Gu Mang's voice was amused. "That was a gift from me, it's hers, and it's her business what she wants to do with it."
"But that's 'Golden Wind and Jade Dew,' the one your great-grandmother wore!"
Gu Mang didn't say anything, but added more weight to the dumbbells. When he lifted them, his muscle lines were taut, and his power was like a volcanic eruption.
"How much did she sell the bracelet for?"
"Well..." Bai Jingyuan smiled, "She didn't sell it!"
Gu Mang frowned slightly. Since last night, he had noticed that this little woman was restless and her eyes kept glancing at the drawer. At that time, he guessed that she would take the jewelry to sell.
After all, Jiang Yao had embezzled her 300,000 yuan dowry, and she was in a hurry to pay her medical bills. Where could she get so much money if she didn't sell her jewelry?
But to his surprise, even after she entered the jewelry store, she took the bracelet back intact.
"Third Brother, I happened to be here today. As soon as she took out the Golden Dew, I recognized it. I thought it was some daring thief who stole it from you. I never expected it to be my sister-in-law!"
Bai Jingyuan laughed again, "Third Brother, she's really something. I thought she was short of money, so I deliberately asked the shop assistant to give her a high price... Of course, it can't compare to the value of the Golden Wind and Jade Dew, but in her eyes it must be very high!"
"Hmm, and then?"
"Then..." Bai Jingyuan scratched his head, "I didn't expect them to refuse to sell!"
Gu Mang had a strange feeling in his heart. Jiang Can's preoccupied appearance last night came back to him.
They're already husband and wife, doesn't she plan to open up to him? She's clearly facing difficulties, but she won't tell him, insisting on bearing them all alone…
His eyes narrowed slightly, and a cryptic smile appeared on his face.
"Don't worry about these things," he said in a low voice. "Keep an eye on that piece of land. I don't want it to fall into the hands of the Jiang family! And while you're at it, put some pressure on that old bastard Jiang Mingyuan. In short, we can't let them have it easy."
"Isn't that your father-in-law?" Bai Jingyuan scoffed. "Third Brother, what's the meaning of this? I don't understand..."
"If you don't understand, just do as I say. Why all the nonsense!"
Bai Jingyuan stuck out his tongue.
They grew up together, and he was used to the boss's unpredictable temper, so he had always hoped that a woman could tame him.
Now it seems that this woman is right in front of me.
But……
Bai Jingyuan frowned. "Third brother, if I may add one more thing, do you really think you and this Jiang Can... can go the distance?"
Gu Mang remained silent.
"You're not Gu Mang at all, and you won't stay in that little village for long. You'll have to go back to Yangcheng sooner or later. What will happen to Jiang Can then? Will your family be able to accept her?"
After a long silence on the other end of the phone, a deep voice finally spoke.
"We'll talk about the future later."
"I'm just reminding you not to get too deeply involved..."
"You don't need to worry about that. I know what I'm doing." Gu Mang's words carried a hint of deliberate nonchalance. "I don't care about this marriage at all. It's just a shell for me to hide my identity."
"Oh, alright." Bai Jingyuan sighed helplessly. "I hope that one day, before you return to Yangcheng, you can say it just as casually!"
