She hadn't actually said anything, but when Lu Shiyan suddenly asked her that question, Jiang Li felt a strange sense of embarrassment.
She cleared her throat, her eyes darting around, avoiding Lu Shiyan's gaze. "Actually, it's nothing. I just stated the facts."
Lu Shiyan genuinely wanted to know Jiang Li's opinion of him, so he unusually didn't ignore the topic and continued, "So what's the truth? Jiang Jiang, tell me so I can have a clearer understanding of myself."
If there are faults, correct them; if not, strive to improve.
Jiang Li: "..."
"Could it be that Jiang Jiang doesn't remember what she said?" Seeing that Jiang Li didn't speak, Lu Shiyan pretended to be melancholy and said, "You must be complaining about me to your third senior brother, which is why you won't say it."
Jiang Li: "!!!"
Why is this man so annoying?
He'll just talk nonsense!
Jiang Li was getting a little frustrated. She said angrily, "Yeah, I was complaining to my third senior brother about you. I said you were really going too far, very scheming, and full of tricks. After hearing that, my third senior brother said he would teach you a lesson for me!"
Lu Shiyan: "..."
Is this how he appears in Jiang Jiang's mind?
"I have something to do, so I'll put my phone aside for now." Since Jiang Li had agreed to video chat with Lu Shiyan for half an hour every day, she naturally wouldn't hang up as long as it didn't interfere with the video call. "Hang up yourself in half an hour."
Lu Shiyan: "???"
Is the video he wants just showing her silhouette?
However, compared to having nothing at all, being able to see a person's silhouette is already quite good.
Lu Shiyan quickly figured out how to appease himself and made himself feel better.
Jiang Li was unaware of Lu Shiyan's inner thoughts and took things very seriously.
So much so that...
She had completely forgotten about Lu Shiyan's existence.
Because it was so exhausting, after she finished, she just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The phone was positioned at a perfect angle, allowing a clear view of Jiang Li's sleeping face.
Fortunately, the weather in China is getting hotter and hotter, so you won't get cold even without a blanket, otherwise Lu Shiyan would be worried to death.
He watched Jiang Li's sleeping face quietly until his secretary messaged him saying that a meeting was about to start, at which point he reluctantly hung up the video call.
But after hanging up the video call, he sent another message to Lu Jiming.
Y: I remember your dad had a few pieces of fine ink.
Lu Jiming, at the bottom of the food chain: ? ? ?
Y: I think Jiang Jiang seems to really like ink, and she probably likes all four treasures of the study. Why don't you take the best few things your dad has treasured and give them to Jiang Jiang?
Lu Jiming, at the bottom of the food chain: ? ? ?
Lu Jiming, at the bottom of the food chain: Uncle, look at yourself! Are you even speaking human language? These are my dad's treasured possessions, how dare I touch them? If I take them, and he finds out, won't he kill me?
Lu Jiming, at the bottom of the food chain: Besides, all of my dad's things are locked up, how am I supposed to take them? You're clearly making things difficult for me!
Lu Jiming, at the bottom of the food chain: You should go ask my dad for it yourself. I can't do this deadly job!
Y: I'll give you one day. You must deliver the things to Jiang Jiang by tomorrow night.
Lu Jiming, at the bottom of the food chain: ? ? ? No, Grandma's stuff is better. Why don't you ask Grandma for some? If you just ask, Grandma will definitely give it to you without hesitation!
Y: We always make sure she leaves something nice as a gift for her future daughter-in-law.
Lu Jiming, at the bottom of the food chain: ...
So his dad doesn't need to prepare a gift for his future sister-in-law?
But thinking about it, it makes sense...
His dad's things can't compare to his grandma's; it would be too undignified to send them together.
etc……
Those are his dad's most prized possessions, he definitely wouldn't want to give them away!
Lu Jiming wanted to discuss it with his uncle and have a go.
result……
One sentence from his own uncle gave him the audacity to act recklessly.
What are you afraid of?
There's nothing Lu Jiming wouldn't dare to do!
Y: If you complete the task, as long as your score is high enough, I will help you persuade your dad to let you go to the school you want to go to most.
Lu Jiming, at the bottom of the food chain: !!!
Lu Jiming, at the bottom of the food chain: Deal!!!
Sometimes, even the most open-minded parents will have disagreements with their children about which university to attend.
Lu Jiming and his father are examples.
His father wanted Lu Jiming to go to the best school.
However, the major that Lu Jiming wanted to study was at a different school, where the best level was available.
The father and son argued about this issue for a long time.
Lu Shiyan's complete lack of involvement in the matter caused Lu Jiming to fall further and further behind.
Now that his own uncle has said that, what is he afraid of?
So what if I get beaten up?
then……
Lu Jiming grabbed his car keys and went straight home.
It's getting late, and everyone in the family is asleep.
Lu Jiming tiptoed into his father's study and happened to see the safe open. He excitedly went over and quietly took out the things his uncle had instructed him to take out.
Without daring to linger, Lu Jiming quickly left home after grabbing his belongings.
The next afternoon, when Jiang Li saw Lu Jiming appear in front of her, her first reaction was to frown.
"What have you done that you have a guilty conscience about?"
Already feeling guilty, Lu Jiming became even more anxious and denied it, saying, "No...no..."
"Really?" Jiang Li looked incredulous. "Do you really need me to do a fortune telling before you'll tell the truth?"
Jiang Li didn't actually see what Lu Jiming had done, but his guilty look already told others that he had done something wrong.
"Ahem..." Lu Jiming handed the bag he was carrying to Jiang Li. "This is what my uncle asked me to give you. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Jiang Li didn't take it, but instead took a step back. "I don't want things of unknown origin. Take it back!"
Lu Jiming: "..."
"This is my family's property, not something of dubious origin!" Lu Jiming explained hastily, betraying Lu Shiyan without hesitation. "Besides, my uncle asked me to give it to you. Even if something happens, my uncle will take responsibility!"
Jiang Li gave Lu Jiming a few deep looks, then took the bag and examined its contents before asking, "Is this your father's?"
Lu Jiming nodded. "Yes, so you should accept it quickly."
Jiang Li refused again, "You should take it back."
Why?
"Does your dad know you're giving me this?" Jiang Li asked.
Lu Jiming's eyes flickered for a moment, "This..."
"Regardless of your relationship with the other party, taking something without asking is stealing!" Jiang Li's expression became even more serious. "You'd better return it immediately!"
"But Uncle..."
"Ayan, I'll talk to him myself. You just need to hurry up..."
Seeing that Jiang Li was adamant, Lu Jiming had no choice but to obediently take the things and leave.
He tiptoed back home, intending to avoid everyone and sneak into his father's study.
As soon as Lu Jiming stepped onto the stairs, he heard two words that struck him like lightning...
"stop!"
