Chapter 185 Playing the Emotional Card
The next day, Jiang Yao finished his mission at the base and was about to leave work, but he saw a figure next to his car in the parking lot.
The underground parking lot was dark, and at first glance, she thought someone was attacking her by surprise, so she raised her foot and was about to kick the man in the face.
"Yaoyao, it's me—"
One centimeter away from the man's face, she stopped and looked at him in astonishment, "Lu Xuan, what the hell are you doing!"
"I have no choice. I can't get into your villa complex, and I want to contact you but can't get through on the phone. I can only come here and wait for you."
Lu Xuan looked at her with longing on his face.
Jiang Yao's mouth twitched, and he didn't even bother to ask him what he was doing there. He turned around and walked to the car.
Seeing her about to leave, Lu Xuan immediately stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, Yaoyao, I really didn't come here to pester you. I wanted to introduce you to a business deal!"
Jiang Yao was speechless.
"I'm not interested in your business."
After saying that, she was about to open the car door and leave.
Seeing that she didn't even give him an ounce of face, Lu Xuan was so anxious that he didn't care about his image anymore.
"Jiang Yao! Have you forgotten that when you were most helpless and desperate, it was me who extended a helping hand to you in the rain? During that time, you were penniless, had a fever of 39.5 degrees Celsius, and your brain was almost burned out. It was me who called a doctor for you, took care of you day and night, and prepared three meals a day for you. Do you really forget all the good I did for you?"
Jiang Yao paused.
Of course she remembered.
At that time, she had just escaped from human traffickers, had not eaten for almost three days, was weak all over, had a high fever, and almost thought she was going to die on the roadside.
At that time, it was indeed Lu Xuan who extended a helping hand to her.
There were times when he was nice to her.
Thinking of this, she turned around and asked, "So, what exactly do you want to say?"
Seeing that she was indeed soft-hearted, Lu Xuan was delighted and quickly took out the small box of heirloom.
"This is a family heirloom passed down from my ancestors. I'm selling it to you now. When I make money, I'll redeem it from you."
Lu Xuan seemed to be reluctantly giving it up. "You should know how valuable it is. I don't feel safe leaving it with anyone else, so I want to give it to you first, okay?"
Jiang Yao found it absurd and outrageous after hearing it.
She had always known about the heirloom.
Because Fang Man often mentioned how valuable this heirloom was, to prove how profound their family's heritage was.
But now, they have no contact with each other anymore, and Lu Xuan actually wants to sell the heirloom to himself... No, to be precise, it's a mortgage loan!
"Why do you have to come to me? Can't you just take it to the pawnshop and pawn it as a current account?" Jiang Yao asked the doubts in his heart directly.
Seeing the subtle change in Lu Xuan's expression, she was stunned for two seconds before reacting.
"Could it be that you've already been there and found it to be not valuable enough, so you came to me and tried to make a quick buck under the guise of business?"
Jiang Yao found it ridiculous, "Lu Xuan, are you taking advantage of me? Why should I pay for you?"
Perhaps the sarcasm in her eyes was too obvious, Lu Xuan's face turned ugly, and he said with a forced argument: "I'm only selling it to you temporarily, it's not like I don't plan to redeem it. Why do you have to say such harsh words?"
"Haha..." Jiang Yao found it even more amusing after hearing this. "It's just a broken thing. My family just gave me something that's worth more than it. Why would I want this thing? How ridiculous."
"You—" Lu Xuan was furious for a moment. He didn't expect her to humiliate him like this. "Okay, you're so cruel!"
He finally gritted his teeth and turned away.
This time, he must make a complete comeback and show Jiang Yao his abilities.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan finally hardened his heart and went back to the pawnshop to pawn the heirloom on his deathbed.
…
Jiang Yao didn't care about this episode. After getting in the car, he didn't go home first, but drove to his master Fang He's studio.
Bring the painting in the car inside.
"Master, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. This is my latest work. I'm handing it over to you now."
"It doesn't matter, the exhibition officially opens tomorrow!"
Fang He admired the work in front of him with shining eyes, and became more and more satisfied the more he looked.
"Excellent, excellent! You are worthy of being my most valued apprentice. This piece of yours is more mature and more spiritual than it was many years ago. I originally thought you had given up, but I didn't expect your talent to remain."
Fang He talked incessantly, wishing he could praise her to the sky.
"Master, you're too kind." Jiang Yao felt really embarrassed and ashamed.
I haven't painted for so many years, but fortunately, my inspiration has not dried up.
I did not disappoint the teacher's expectations.
"This is by no means an exaggeration. Just wait and see. When the exhibition starts, I guarantee that everyone will be attracted by your work." Fang He vowed.
Jiang Yao also began to look forward to the arrival of the art exhibition.
The next morning, Jiang Yao specially asked for leave from the base.
When I went out, a high-profile Lamborghini was already parked outside.
Lu Zhengze leaned lazily against the car and waved at her, "Senior Sister, I'm here to pick you up."
Jiang Yao walked forward with a smile, but before she could respond, a tall figure walked in at a faster speed.
"Where are you going?"
After a day of adjustment, Li Beiting seemed to have returned to his normal state, and the awkward look on his face was gone.
Lu Zhengze frowned in dissatisfaction: "What does it have to do with you——"
"Second Young Master Lu, I didn't ask you." Li Beiting's eyes fell on Jiang Yao, and he said cautiously, "Do I have the right to know? Yaoyao."
Jiang Yao's mouth twitched, "I'm just going to the art exhibition."
Do I need to act like I'm being abandoned?
"Really? I'm also interested in the exhibition, so I'll go too." Li Beiting immediately climbed up the pole.
Lu Zhengze refused on Jiang Yao's behalf, his tone still very sarcastic, "Boss Li, aren't you a capitalist who makes tens of millions every minute? You're so busy now, it's better not to participate in this kind of activity, so as not to delay your opportunity to make money."
“Capitalists also have time for leisure and entertainment.”
Li Beiting's affectionate gaze fell on Jiang Yao, "Besides, accompanying Yaoyao is more important than making money."
Jiang Yao's face was irritated, and he quickly looked away, "Then let's go together."
Lu Zhengze was so angry that he gritted his teeth. This shameless guy was seducing his senior sister all day long.
But for now, he could only endure it for the time being.
The group drove to the backstage of the exhibition.
When I walked in, I heard a loud noise inside.
Fang He's face flushed red, as if he had just had a tantrum. He held his chest and had difficulty breathing.
Su Yurou beside him hurriedly comforted him, "Master, please don't be angry, or you will get sick from anger..."
Jiang Yao and others walked forward together, "Teacher, what happened?"
