As soon as Jiang Li turned her head, she saw Jiang Chenghao's awkward expression.
"Is something wrong?" Jiang Li looked at him with some confusion, not understanding why he suddenly looked like this.
"N-nothing..." Jiang Chenghao's expression became even stranger. He stammered, "I...I...I saw that Dad...he seemed...a little unwell...so...I thought...I'd let you go and see him."
After saying that, he breathed a huge sigh of relief, as if he had been granted a pardon.
"Oh," Jiang Li responded, her expressionless, "Mr. Jiang's health is fine. After all, he had such a major surgery, and it will take a long time for his body to recover. It's normal to feel a little uncomfortable from time to time. As long as you take the medicine as instructed, there will be no problem."
Seeing that Jiang Li was about to get into that person's car again, Jiang Chenghao said anxiously, "But..."
“There’s no ‘buts.’ I know Mr. Jiang’s health better than you do. Although you love your father dearly, don’t worry unnecessarily.” After saying that, Jiang Li turned to the person next to her. “Let’s go.”
"No!" Jiang Chenghao stood in front of Jiang Li with a tense expression, no longer caring about the other person's feelings, and said anxiously, "You can't go with him. He's just a playboy. You'll suffer if you go with him! No matter what, I can't let you go with him!"
Jiang Li: "..."
man:"……"
The sudden words made the atmosphere instantly fall silent.
The man looked at Jiang Li, then at Jiang Chenghao. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.
Although he changes girlfriends a bit frequently, he's not a complete scumbag. It's a matter of mutual consent; if it works, they stay together; if it doesn't, they separate.
Moreover, he didn't mistreat any of his female partners when they broke up.
Besides...
Although the girl in front of him was very pretty, to be honest, prettier than all his female companions, he preferred mature and charming women, which was completely different from the fairy-like Jiang Li in front of him.
He knew his own character well; he wouldn't dare to harm such a fairy-like girl.
Of course, he wouldn't harbor any harmful intentions.
He's not that much of a beast!
The man took a deep breath, intending to say a few words in his defense.
Before he could even speak, Jiang Li said, "I know him better than you do. Besides, I'm going with him because I have something to do. Do you think everyone is like you, with a head full of filthy thoughts?"
Jiang Chenghao was speechless after being cornered by Jiang Li. After a while, he said angrily, "I was just worried about you, afraid that you would be deceived by him!"
"Hmm." Jiang Li nodded to indicate that she understood, and then she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not like you. Although you used to be easily manipulated and used as a pawn without any complaints, I can't be as clever as you."
Jiang Chenghao froze completely after hearing Jiang Li's words.
Thinking about the stupid things he had done in the past, he wished he could go back in time and give that foolish version of himself a good beating.
Jiang Li ignored Jiang Chenghao and said to the man in front of her, "Let's go."
By the time Jiang Chenghao came to his senses, Jiang Li had already disappeared from his sight.
Only the car exhaust fumes remained in front of him.
“Jiang…” Lu Jiming was sent by his uncle to do a superficial job, and when he didn’t see Jiang Li, he planned to go back.
I saw Jiang Chenghao as soon as I came out.
He opened his mouth, as if to shout something...
But then he felt that no matter how he called out, it wouldn't sound right, so he simply shut up and asked, "Isn't Jiang Li here? I don't see her anywhere."
In the past, Jiang Chenghao might not have given Lu Jiming a pleasant look, but now...
He felt as if he had grasped at a straw.
He said with some urgency, "Jiang Li left with that playboy Lin Yi!"
Jiang Li and he didn't get along, but didn't she get along well with the Lu family?
Even if Jiang Li doesn't listen to him, she'll surely listen to this young man from the Lu family, right?
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiming said he understood, "Since Jiang Li isn't here, I'll head back now."
After saying that, Lu Jiming left without looking back.
Jiang Chenghao: "???"
no……
This is not the outcome he expected.
Aren't you close to Jiang Li?
She left with that playboy, and this is your reaction?
Under Jiang Chenghao's questioning gaze, Lu Jiming left unhurriedly.
Once he was sure no one could see him, Lu Jiming immediately took out his phone and dialed his uncle's number.
As soon as the call connected, Lu Shiyan's cool and indifferent voice came through, "Did you deliver the goods?"
"Delivered." Lu Jiming responded, then said with great annoyance, "I didn't call you to say this. Jiang Chenghao just told me that Jiang Li left with that playboy Lin Yi."
"Oh," Lu Shiyan replied in a flat tone.
"No..." Lu Jiming felt that his uncle's reaction was a bit off. "Uncle, didn't you hear what I said? I said, Jiang Li and Lin Yi are gone! Why are you still so calm?"
Lu Shiyan chuckled and launched a barrage of questions at Lu Jiming.
"Is Lin Yi as good-looking as me?"
"No."
"Do you have a better figure than me?"
No, not at all.
"Are you as good at making money as I am?"
"That's even less likely."
"Besides, he's older than me and doesn't have a good reputation," Lu Shiyan concluded simply. "So what are you so anxious and worried about?"
Besides, he's the first person Jiang Jiang acknowledges as her priority.
He's not worried at all.
Lu Jiming couldn't help but rub his forehead, saying somewhat frantically, "It's not that I'm worried Jiang Li will fall for him, it's just that that person has a bad reputation, I'm afraid he might do something beastly to Jiang Li!"
Lu Shiyan didn't say anything, but he let out a sneer.
Lu Jiming belatedly realized what was happening and said, "I'm sorry, I was just worried and confused. I must be out of my mind to worry about something like this! If it really happens, I should be mourning for the second young master of the Lin family."
Lu Shiyan hummed in agreement, and then said, "I heard that the second young master of the Lin family and the eldest young master of the Lin family are very close brothers."
"It seems so." Lu Jiming had also heard about this, but he didn't understand why his uncle would suddenly say this. "But what does that have to do with this?"
"I heard that the eldest son of the Lin family suddenly fell ill some time ago and has not been cured yet." Lu Shiyan could guess the general idea from some clues. "Perhaps Lin Yi heard that Jiang Jiang cured Jiang Chi, so he came to invite her."
"Alright." Lu Jiming indicated that he understood, but he still couldn't help but add, "Uncle, just keep it in mind. I'm really afraid that someone else will beat me to it."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
He might never succeed in winning Jiang Jiang's heart because of her dedication to metaphysics, but someone else beat him to it...
Who are you insulting?
