Only after the person who came had vented their anger did they release Bai Jing.
Bai Jing then realized who was tormenting him.
"Lu Jiming?" Bai Jing stared in surprise, then said angrily, "Are you crazy?"
"Ha!" Lu Jiming sneered. "Let me tell you, you can't mess with Jiang Li!"
Bai Jing: "???"
Are you crazy?
Then...
Bai Jing's expression suddenly turned strange. "Can't we provoke Jiang Li? Why?"
Could it be that Lu Jiming has feelings for her?
If that's the case...
He wouldn't mind getting involved.
After all, he was happy to do things that would provoke Lu Jiming.
"I can't say that." Lu Jiming's expression showed a slight reluctance. "Anyway, remember my words, don't provoke her."
My husband's younger brother hasn't even won my wife's heart yet, what if the news gets out...?
Who knows how many people will come to stand in the way of my uncle!
so……
Absolutely not.
"Who are you? Why should I listen to you?" Bai Jing's temper flared up, and he said arrogantly, "You tell me not to provoke you, but I'll provoke you anyway!"
Lu Jiming: "..."
He was determined to stop Bai Jing for the sake of his own pocket money!
We absolutely cannot let this bastard ruin his uncle's good deed!
"Don't you have class?" Bai Jing suddenly thought of something and rolled her eyes at Lu Jiming. "You skipped school? Aren't you afraid your parents will find out and punish you!"
"Don't worry, even if my parents find out, they won't punish me." Lu Jiming snorted, then added arrogantly, "Besides, I always get first place in exams, so no one will say anything if I skip school!"
"I think you're just taking advantage of the fact that the school is yours, so you're doing this on purpose," Bai Jing said irritably. "Your first place was actually obtained through shady dealings, wasn't it?"
Lu Jiming: "!!!"
Damn it, he clearly got first place based on his own hard work and talent.
How did it come to be described as a shady operation by others?
This is jealousy!
Absolute jealousy!
"How dare you say that to me? Why don't you go to school?"
"Do you think the teachers outside can teach me?" Bai Jing became smug, looking at Lu Jiming as if he were a fool.
Bai Jing was trained in medicine from a young age, with elites from various fields personally instructing him.
Of course, he has things he's good at and things he's not good at.
The academic classes were taught in a supplementary way, but the main focus was still on medicine.
He was just a figurehead at school; when exams were required, he would just show up as a formality. The rest of the time, he spent at home training and studying, as busy as a dog.
Today, his grandfather asked him to be Jiang Li's little assistant, which is why he had some free time.
At this time of day, he would usually be either in class or practicing on his own.
"Fine, fine, I'm not going to argue with you about this." Lu Jiming snorted. "I rarely come to see you, can't you play with me for a while?"
"You wouldn't come here without a reason, you must have something to say!" Bai Jingcai was unwilling to play with Lu Jiming, then he seemed to realize something and said with a shocked expression, "You didn't come here specifically because you saw my post on WeChat Moments and knew that Jiang Li was at my house, so you came here on purpose?"
Lu Jiming remained silent.
Bai Jing took it as a tacit agreement.
“Yes, she told Grandpa that she’s gone to school now. It seems she went to your school.” Bai Jing’s reasoning skills were quite good; he guessed everything except one thing. “So you’ve fallen for Jiang Li and were afraid I might have feelings for her, so you came after her?”
Lu Jiming: "..."
"What? Still too embarrassed to admit it?" Bai Jing put his hand on Lu Jiming's shoulder. "Don't blame me for not reminding you, you can't handle that guy. You should give up on this idea."
After all, that person was his grand-aunt.
Lu Jiming was of the same generation as him.
So……
Given their relationship...
Lu Jiming also had to respectfully address Jiang Li as "Grandma Master".
If he really has some kind of idea...
Looking back, things might not end well.
Although the two didn't get along, they were still related by marriage, so they couldn't just watch him fall for her.
"If I can't handle her, how can you?" Lu Jiming couldn't stand Bai Jing's smugness and warned again, "Jiang Li is my deskmate. I know her better than you do. Anyway, you're not allowed to make a move on her!"
"you……"
"If you really get this idea, don't blame me for not helping you later."
Lu Jiming's expression became even more serious.
Lu Jiming's aunt married into the Bai family and gave birth to Bai Jing.
He and Bai Jing are cousins, but because they were born around the same time and have been compared to each other since childhood, they seem to get along rather poorly.
The Bai family and the Lu family have no relation.
However, because Lu Jiming's mother and Bai Jing's mother were sisters, the two families were quite polite to each other.
We still have some contact, even if there's something going on.
Therefore, Bai Jing knew Lu Shiyan.
His cousin's uncle was decisive and efficient, and he was afraid of him from the bottom of his heart.
"Alright, let's not argue anymore. Come here and greet my grandfather, have you?" Bai Jing asked Lu Jiming.
Lu Jiming scratched his head, "I was in such a hurry to come find you that I didn't have time to think about it."
Bai Jing: "..."
So just how much do you care about my great-aunt?
"Let's go see Grandpa."
"Um."
Lu Jiming didn't refuse, as long as Bai Jing didn't stick to Jiang Li's side.
Lu Jiming secretly sent another message to his uncle, telling him that he had Bai Jing in check and that no one would dare to mess with his future aunt.
Grandpa Bai hadn't seen Lu Jiming for a long time, so he chatted with him, asking about the health of Lu's elders. Time passed by in the blink of an eye.
Grandpa Bai specially invited Lu Jiming to have dinner at the Bai family home.
Originally, dinner was prepared very well because Jiang Li was there. Since Lu Jiming was here, he naturally had to take advantage of Jiang Li's presence and stay for a good meal.
Lu Jiming had visited the Bai family many times, but the scale of the dinner still surprised him.
Even New Year's Eve dinner isn't this lavish!
Moreover, there were only four people eating: Old Master Bai, Bai Jing, Lu Jiming, and Jiang Li.
There isn't a single person left!
Goodness, such a huge table of food!
Grandpa Bai ignored Lu Jiming and Bai Jing, his eyes and heart were entirely on Jiang Li.
"You must be hungry after a long day, right? These are all your favorite foods, eat as much as you want, don't be shy!"
Jiang Li felt a warmth in her heart. She smiled at Grandpa Bai and said, "Now that I'm at my senior brother's house, it's like I'm at my own home. Why should I be so polite?!"
As she spoke, Jiang Li picked up her chopsticks and prepared to eat.
Before the first bite of food could even reach his mouth, an uninvited guest interrupted his meal.
Everyone: "..."
How did he get here?
