Chapter 217: Is it to lure the enemy?
the next day.
When Jiang Yao woke up, he found that there were dark circles under Li Beiting's eyes and he looked a little haggard.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" She asked worriedly, "Does your wound hurt?"
“…”
Li Beiting couldn't say that he was like a pervert, staring at her most of the night and not wanting to sleep.
He could only change the subject vaguely, "I just received a call saying the car has been repaired. I'll pick it up soon and then go back to South City."
"That's great."
Jiang Yao was immediately delighted.
After washing up, they came out of the room together.
Just as I turned around, a shocked voice rang out from my ears, "Jiang Yao——"
Jiang Yao turned around and saw Lu Xuan coming out of the opposite room.
He was wearing a high-end suit and a million-dollar watch, exuding an elite temperament.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Yao frowned unconsciously.
This guy wouldn't follow her here, would he?
"What's that look in your eyes!"
Lu Xuan originally wanted to make some achievements so that she would take the initiative to talk to him.
But just now, when he saw her and Li Beiting coming out of the same room, his heart ached and he lost his mind for a moment, so he took the initiative to call her.
"I was involved in a car accident last night and am staying here temporarily. I have to go to South City to discuss an important business deal with my partner soon."
After the last bid, he finally revived his career and is now doing well.
I thought that saying this would make Jiang Yao look at me differently.
But Jiang Yao's expression was cold, "Oh, what does that have to do with me?"
If Lu Xuan hadn't called her, she wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him.
Her coldness made Lu Xuan feel heartbroken.
But he quickly adjusted his mood and said, "I just want to tell you that if there is a chance in the future, maybe we can work together again."
"It's impossible in this lifetime." Jiang Yao refused completely.
Lu Xuan's breath was caught.
"Don't pay attention to the outsiders." The next second, Li Beiting grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Yao looked up at him, but did not refuse. She gave him a sweet smile, and the two left together.
Lu Xuan looked at the two people's departing backs with a grim expression, and his hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists.
But he soon convinced himself in his heart.
It doesn’t matter. He was the one who did something wrong before, and now he doesn’t mind Jiang Yao making some mistakes.
Jiang Yao and Li Beiting would not be together anyway. According to the information he had obtained, the Li family would never agree to the two of them being together.
When the two of them break up, Jiang Yao will no longer despise herself, and then they can resume their relationship.
Thinking of this, he cheered himself up and turned to leave.
…
After the people walked away, Jiang Yao wanted to pull her hand away, only to find that Li Beiting was holding her hand very tightly and his expression looked a little ugly.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Yao noticed something was wrong. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Beiting lowered his eyes and looked at her steadily, "If I say that I have some inferiority complex, would you believe it?"
"What?" Jiang Yao was a little shocked for a moment. "Why are you so inferior? You don't think you can't compare to Lu Xuan, do you?"
Li Beiting shook his head. "I'm not afraid that I can't compare to him, but I'm afraid that you've been with him for many years and your feelings for him are deeper."
Jiang Yao didn't expect that such a proud man would have such unconfident thoughts.
And all these thoughts were caused by her.
Jiang Yao felt a pang of pain in his heart, and couldn't help but soften his tone, "What are you thinking about? Even if it's been several years, if a relationship is not managed well, it will only fade away bit by bit.
In my heart, he is not worthy of being compared with you, not even as good as one of your fingers. Your concerns are completely unnecessary."
Li Beiting raised his eyebrows, very good at grasping the key points: "So, I am very important to you?"
Jiang Yao: "...Ahem, it's getting late, let's go back to South City early!"
She took the initiative to move forward.
Li Beiting followed with a smile.
More than an hour later, the two entered South City smoothly. Li Beiting had to go back to the company first, as he was indeed needed to deal with the aftermath of the project.
Jiang Yao came to Wang Ma's house according to the address given by his grandmother.
What came into view was a courtyard house.
An ancient atmosphere hits you in the face, and the blue-gray brick walls have been worn down by the years, revealing a heavy texture.
In the square patio, several pots of green plants are growing vigorously, exuding a leisurely atmosphere of life.
As Jiang Yao walked to the door, he heard a quarrel coming from inside.
"I'm almost dying of illness. How can you be so cruel, woman, and refuse to bring the heir back to me!" A weak male voice came from inside.
"That's my heir, what does it have to do with you?" Wang Ma said impatiently, "Stop pretending. I don't have time to play along with you."
"You, you have no conscience!" the man was furious.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Yao hesitated for a moment and then knocked on the door.
There was silence inside for two seconds, and soon Aunt Wang came over and opened the door.
"Miss?" Wang Ma looked at her in shock. "Why, why did you come here in person?"
"I'm just here to visit, I hope I didn't disturb you."
Jiang Yao said this worriedly, looking at the man lying sickly on the recliner beside him.
The man was about the same age as Wang Ma, and he looked a little listless...
The next second, the man in the Tang suit suddenly jumped up, looking radiant and surprised, saying, "You must be Miss Yaoyao!"
He looked energetic, not sick at all, and his attitude towards her was even more enthusiastic.
Jiang Yao was a little overwhelmed for a moment, "Yes, I am Yaoyao, and you are Wang Ma's husband?"
"Yeah, just call me Uncle Wang. I have the same last name as your mother, Wang."
Uncle Wang looked her up and down, his satisfaction growing with each passing moment. "I knew at first glance that you were a martial arts prodigy! Look at those arms, so full of vigorous power! Yaoyao, why don't you inherit my legacy?"
Jiang Yao was completely bewildered.
"Shut up, old man! Don't scare the young lady with your nonsense."
"Miss, don't listen to him."
Jiang Yao was a little confused. After Wang Ma's explanation, she learned that because of her high talent in martial arts, Wang Ma had boasted about it in front of her husband several times, thinking of letting her inherit her mantle.
When Uncle Wang heard this, he also wanted her to inherit. After all, they were heirs from different factions, and the two sides had been fighting for her and had never reached an agreement.
Jiang Yao was a little amused and confused after hearing this. He didn't expect that he was so popular.
"actually……"
Jiang Yao was about to say something when a young man ran in breathlessly. "Master, Master, Master's Wife, this is bad! The people from Shangwu School are provoking us again! Many of our disciples have been injured! They still refuse to give up and want Master to leave."
