Is that so?
Yao Hua understood Jin Bei a little better.
Don't listen to him.
Jiang Yue said to Yao Hua, "Having a powerful backer and a strong background is a good thing. If you want to grow bigger and stronger, you have to make use of all available resources. Since there are shortcuts to take, why take so many detours? Are you just looking for trouble?"
Jin Bei: "..."
He looked at Jiang Yue disapprovingly, "But relying on family resources can't prove my ability at all. They'll just say that I only made money because of my family, not because of my own ability."
"What if you do better than them?" Jiang Yue countered.
Jin Bei shook his head without even thinking, "Jiang Yue, you may not understand, but our Jin family has been in S City for a hundred years. What do I have to do to surpass a century-old family?"
He felt he couldn't do it, he couldn't do it even if you killed him.
"That is indeed quite difficult."
Chuntao, who was following behind, couldn't help but complain.
Anyway, she and Liu Gang definitely couldn't do it; they don't know how to do business, all they know how to do is beat people up.
Jiang Yue replied, “It is indeed not easy to surpass a century-old tree, but it is not impossible. I understand what you just said. You just don’t want your family to force you to live a life you don’t like.”
You want them to know that even if they don't care about you, you can do just fine on your own, right?
Jin Bei nodded frantically, "Yes, that's right."
He just doesn't want his family to plan his life anymore. Now his family wants him to study abroad, and they will definitely interfere in his marriage in the future.
He didn't want to be like his older brother, forced to obey his family and marry someone he didn't like.
I don't want to be controlled by my family for the rest of my life.
"This is very easy to do. Let's go eat first, and I'll tell you how to do it while we eat."
Jiang Yue said.
It's already dark. Chun Tao and Liu Gang have to go back soon, so let's go eat first.
"Then let's go eat first."
Jin Bei took Jiang Yue and the others to a long-established restaurant.
At the dinner table, Jiang Yue really taught Jin Bei many ways to gain the approval of his family, but how far Jin Bei could go depended on his own abilities.
After dinner, Chuntao and Liu Gang took Jiang Yue to the hotel and then left.
They were only responsible for protecting Jiang Yue when she went out during the day. Shen Huaiyuan had arranged for other people to protect Jiang Yue secretly at night, so they were not needed.
Jin Bei, however, did not leave.
Why aren't you going back yet?
Jiang Yue, who was about to go upstairs with Yao Hua, frowned and asked when she saw that Jin Bei hadn't left.
Jin Bei looked at Jiang Yue ingratiatingly and said with a grin, "I've decided. I'll stay here for the next few days so we can have more time to talk, and you can teach me more things."
Ever since hearing Jiang Yue teach him so many techniques at the dinner table, Jin Bei felt like he had discovered a new continent. If he could, he really wanted to talk to Jiang Yue all night.
"Suit yourself. We're going back to our rooms to rest. Don't bother me tonight."
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, she pulled Yao Hua upstairs, ignoring Jin Bei.
When she reached the top of the stairs on the third floor, she ran into Lu Jingnian, who was coming out of his room. He wasn't with Du Yingying this time. When he saw Jiang Yue, Lu Jingnian looked straight at her.
However, Lu Jingnian's expression was not very good.
Seeing Battalion Commander Lu looking at Jiang Yue, Yao Hua quickly made up an excuse and said to Jiang Yue, "Yueyue, I suddenly remembered that we don't have hot water in our room. I'll go downstairs and ask if there's any hot water."
Watching Yao Hua go downstairs, Jiang Yue didn't say anything and turned to walk towards her room.
Once Lu Jingnian was sure no one was watching him, he quickly followed Jiang Yue.
"Bang!"
The door to the room was closed, and Jiang Yue's arm was instantly grabbed by Lu Jingnian, pinning her against the wall.
Lu Jingnian's sudden action startled Jiang Yue.
“Lu Jingnian…”
Jiang Yue opened her mouth, but before she could finish calling out Lu Jingnian's name, he cut off the rest of her words.
The man lowered his head and bit Jiang Yue's lips, slowly caressing them...
The fine, dense pain on her lips felt like a punishment, causing Jiang Yue to furrow her beautiful brows. She reached out and pushed Lu Jingnian's chest twice, but couldn't push him away.
However, the slight pain on my lips disappeared, replaced by the man's endless tenderness.
After a long while, Lu Jingnian finally released Jiang Yue, hugged her tightly, buried his head in her neck, and said in a cold voice with a hint of childishness, "Yueyue, stay away from that Jin Bei, okay?"
He only found out this afternoon that the man who was currently with Jiang Yue was named Jin Bei, and he also found out Jin Bei's identity.
Lu Jingnian wanted to beat Jin Bei to death for daring to let his wife go to a dance hall.
Are you jealous?
Jiang Yue reached out and hugged Lu Jingnian's neck, rubbing her face against his. He hadn't shaved properly these past two days, and his chin was a bit prickly.
"I'm scared."
Lu Jingnian whispered his reply in Jiang Yue's ear.
Fear?
Jiang Yue stiffened slightly. She nudged Lu Jingnian and looked at his face in surprise. "What are you afraid of?"
Lu Jingnian was very unhappy, his cold and deep eyes now filled with a hint of grievance, "He comes from a good family, is good-looking, and knows how to make you happy, unlike me who only knows how to train those brats all day, I have a cold face and rarely smile, and I don't know how to make you happy..."
Jiang Yue was stunned.
Lu Jingnian actually knows tea ceremony?
No... this must be her imagination...
But... she really did like Lu Jingnian a tiny bit.
Jiang Yue raised an eyebrow, grabbed Lu Jingnian's shirt at the chest, and pulled him close to her. The two were pressed tightly together. Her hand slowly caressed Lu Jingnian's chest, then his neck and chin, finally landing on his lips, which were red from being kissed earlier.
