Lu Jingnian handed the book to Jiang Yue and said casually, "I'll put it away."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue's eyes flickered, but she didn't ask any more questions and instead lowered her head to read the book attentively.
In the afternoon, Jiang Yue was reading a book when Song Qianqian suddenly ran into the ward.
Song Qianqian arrived in a hurry, panting as she spoke to Jiang Yue, "Jiang Yue, I came to tell you that my cousin's husband had a big fight with my cousin today for some reason. He even asked my cousin to come with him to see Battalion Commander Lu tonight. At first, my cousin was unwilling, but later she agreed."
"Let me tell you, she didn't come to see Battalion Commander Lu because she listened to her cousin-in-law. It's because we went to several clothing stores today to discuss cooperation, but we didn't succeed."
My cousin suspects you did something wrong; she came specifically to find you.
"Why are you telling me all this?" Jiang Yue looked at Song Qianqian with a scrutinizing gaze and asked in a cold voice.
"Because I wrote you a letter of commitment, I'm afraid that if my cousin does something later, you'll hold me responsible and make me pay for it."
Song Qianqian explained helplessly and somewhat annoyedly that she didn't have 50,000 yuan to compensate Jiang Yue.
"I see."
Jiang Yue nodded knowingly.
Seeing that Jiang Yue was letting her go so easily, Song Qianqian hesitated. "Jiang Yue, I... I told you everything I know. I still need my cousin to make money, so I can't leave her."
But I won't give you any more advice that could harm you. You... you can't make me pay money just because of my cousin's problem, can you?"
"Don't worry, as long as you don't cause me trouble, I won't cause you trouble. As for what your cousin did, I won't involve you."
Jiang Yue is not one to cause trouble for others. As long as the other party doesn't scheme against her, she won't actively seek out trouble for them.
"That's good. I'll be going now. I came to this department store with my cousin and made up an excuse to come see you. I can't let her find out."
After explaining, Song Qianqian quickly left.
She told Jiang Yue this last sentence to make Jiang Yue understand that she had come without Zhao Lanxi's knowledge, and that Jiang Yue must not tell Zhao Lanxi when she saw her that night.
After Song Qianqian left.
Lu Jingnian asked Jiang Yue, "Pei Hengzhi and Zhao Lanxi had a fight. He must have found out that she asked Song Qianqian to find people to cause trouble at your stall. He wanted to bring her here to apologize."
Jiang Yue had also guessed this possibility.
"What do you plan to do?" Lu Jingnian asked.
Because Pei Hengzhi had intervened in this matter, Lu Jingnian still wanted to see how Jiang Yue would handle it.
After all, she used to like Pei Hengzhi so much. Although she said she didn't like him anymore, Lu Jingnian was still a little worried.
"Not much."
Jiang Yue closed the door, smiled, and walked to Lu Jingnian's side. "I sent Xiao Xi ahead to discuss cooperation and cut off Zhao Lanxi's path. I never thought that this matter would be kept from Zhao Lanxi."
"She came to me simply to confront me and ask me directly if I had really cut off her source of income."
"So what if I admit it?"
If she has the ability to win the business back, I will admire her for truly being a shrewd businesswoman and for willingly admitting defeat.
After all, it's business; there are gains and losses, wins and losses—it's normal.
Upon hearing Jiang Yue's reply, Lu Jingnian gave her a deep look but remained silent.
Did she say that because she genuinely didn't care about Zhao Lanxi's schemes against her, or because she knew Pei Hengzhi would come and wanted to appear more magnanimous in front of him?
As Lu Jingnian thought about it, his expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and his eyes even showed a hint of grievance.
But Jiang Yue didn't look at him; instead, she turned her head and focused on reading.
"Cough cough!"
Lu Jingnian coughed forcefully twice.
What is she pretending for?
She clearly knows everything in the book, so why does she need to study it so carefully?
Is it because she knows Pei Hengzhi is coming soon that she wants to study hard so that Pei Hengzhi can see her efforts?
The more Lu Jingnian thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Lu Jingnian cough, Jiang Yue quickly put down her book and came over, looking at him anxiously, "Why did you suddenly start coughing?"
"Are you feeling unwell? I'll go get the doctor."
"Need not."
Lu Jingnian shook his head, coughed twice more while clutching his chest, and then waved his hand, "I'm fine."
"With such a severe cough, how could you be alright?"
Jiang Yue was extremely anxious. If Lu Jingnian hadn't been holding her back, she would have run out to find a doctor long ago.
“Lu Jingnian, you can’t ignore your illness and avoid medical treatment. Your injury hasn’t healed yet. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must see a doctor.”
Jiang Yue tried to pry Lu Jingnian's hand off, but no matter how hard she tried, the man's fingers wouldn't budge.
"Lu Jingnian, be a good boy."
Lu Jingnian?
Oh!
Lu Jingnian sneered inwardly. Knowing that Pei Hengzhi was coming, she didn't even call him "husband" anymore?
"I told you I'm fine."
Lu Jingnian closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and looked extremely unpleasant.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Yue finally realized that he wasn't physically uncomfortable, but emotionally uncomfortable.
"Lu Jingnian, what's wrong?"
They were fine just now, why are you suddenly angry?
Jiang Yue found it utterly inexplicable that the man was angry.
"fine."
Lu Jingnian coldly uttered two words, closing his eyes as if he really didn't want to communicate.
But Jiang Yue wouldn't let him have his way. The more he refused to communicate, the more she wanted to know what was making him angry.
