Chapter 29
Xu Jiasi: “……?”
Then he saw a sturdy boy who was more than a head taller than him and looked like a sports student walking towards him and staring at him with a bad look.
"..." Facing his ferocious gaze, Xu Jiasi's legs felt a little weak.
Jiang Nuo was very satisfied.
Xu Jiasi just loves calling people "brother." He used to call Ding Pingzhou "brother" in a sweet, cheesy way right in front of him. But today, Jiang Nuo suddenly had the idea to defeat magic with magic. Isn't that more amusing than directly attacking Xu Jiasi personally?
Young Master Jiang waited expectantly for the situation to develop, but he saw that Gu Jiangkuo didn't rush to deal with Xu Jiasi. Instead, he handed him the ice water first, paused, and touched his head with it, saying softly, "Take a sip first. Does it still taste spicy?"
Jiang Nuo was touched and felt a little dumbfounded: "Ah...?"
Xu Jiasi took the opportunity to turn around and leave, but Gu Jiangkuo grabbed his arm with his hand, which was like a pair of pliers and pinched him painfully.
After all, this was a busy cafeteria. Gu Jiangkuo didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he didn't actually hit him. He just held him hostage and said, "Apologize to him."
Xu Jiasi twitched his arm, but it didn't budge. "Why don't you ask what happened? Even if you want to seek justice, you have to understand the circumstances. He was wrong in the first place!"
"No need to ask," Gu Jiangkuo said coldly, "Apologize."
He is not here to uphold justice. He is just here to support Xiao Nuo. Even if Jiang Nuo kills people and sets fires, he will stand on Jiang Nuo's side and does not care who is right or wrong.
"Apologize." Gu Jiangkuo repeated, tightening his grip a little.
pain!
Xu Jiasi's face changed after being pinched, "Are you being reasonable or not? This is school!" He slammed the tray in his hand onto the table and pushed the unfinished bowl of spicy chicken away.
The conflict was quite noisy, and students at the surrounding tables were all craning their necks to watch the fun.
Gu Jiangkuo's face darkened. He didn't want to make a big deal out of it because he was afraid of scaring Xiao Nuo, but that didn't mean he didn't dare to. He wasn't afraid of school rules or regulations, nor did he care about other people's opinions. He had lived in the worst conditions, and compared to his past experiences, quarrels between students were nothing but child's play. He only cared about Jiang Nuo's mood, and he absolutely couldn't let it upset Young Master Jiang.
However, before Gu Jiangkuo could take action, Xu Jiasi suddenly admitted his mistake.
"I'm sorry." Xu Jiasi suddenly apologized, "I was not polite just now."
Jiang Nuo: “?”
Because he was being restrained by Gu Jiangkuo, Xu Jiasi gave Jiang Nuo a rather awkward bow, "I'm sorry, classmate. Please forgive me!"
Jiang Nuo: “…”
Gu Jiangkuo: “…”
Gu Jiangkuo looked at Jiang Nuo as if waiting for instructions. Jiang Nuo nodded slightly - since the person had already apologized, there was no need to hold on to him - so he let go of Xu Jiasi.
However, until Xu Jiasi left, Gu Jiangkuo was still puzzled: "Why does this person's mood change so quickly?" Is there something wrong with him?
Jiang Nuo was also a little confused, but soon realized, "I forgot to collect the car keys used to reserve the seat."
It turned out that the plate of spicy chicken was pushed away, revealing the Porsche keys.
Gu Jiangkuo still didn't understand: "What does this have to do with car keys?"
Of course, it was because Jiang Nuo understood Xu Jiasi and knew what he feared most. However, these trivial matters were not worth wasting time explaining. Jiang Nuo changed the subject: "Why don't you ask what happened? What if it's really my fault?"
"Those are not important. I just know that I can't let you be bullied." Gu Jiangkuo said.
Jiang Nuo couldn't help but admire in his heart: Good job, he is worthy of being a professional bodyguard who gets paid!
Then Gu Jiangkuo said seriously: "Besides, there is no such thing as a one-time mistake. With me, you are always right."
.
Xu Jiasi didn't even have an appetite to eat. He just threw away the plate, found a deserted place after leaving the cafeteria, and frantically called Ding Pingzhou.
——He just saw clearly that in addition to the eye-catching Porsche key, there was also a dormitory key.
He had just seen the key card for the international student dormitory that morning and recognized it immediately. Aren't non-international students allowed to rent there? It's just that some people have privileges!
Luxury cars, privileges... and looking at the unconditional doting look of the tall "athlete", Xu Jiasi can almost conclude: the handsome boy is the materialistic boyfriend of the rich second-generation athlete!
Xu Jiasi has an instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. He dare not offend the powerful and wealthy, so he will just admit defeat when he sees these things. But this does not mean that he is really willing to swallow his anger.
Isn't it just good looks and the ability to act like a spoiled brat? He can do all of that! And he also has a boyfriend who's an awesome entrepreneur!
However, after countless calls, Ding Pingzhou, the "entrepreneur boyfriend," finally answered the phone reluctantly, his tone very stiff: "What on earth do you want? I'm in a meeting here!"
Ever since he secured the Jinchuang Building, Ding Pingzhou has been incredibly busy. Ding Yansheng has given him full responsibility for planning, soft furnishings, and hotel branding.
Ding Pingzhou has no other way out now - the Ding family has invested more than 200 million yuan at a price several times higher than the market price. If they fail to achieve results, they and their son will become a laughing stock in the entire Yanlin and even the whole country.
So I had to hold back and prepare to give it my all on the Jinchuang Building project.
But personally taking charge of a big project is not as glamorous as imagined.
Funding is a big problem. The transaction price of 236 million yuan has exceeded the Ding family's current affordability, and soft furnishings and renovations are also a huge investment. They paid the first part of the payment according to the contract, but if they want to fulfill the contract and pay the balance as scheduled, the cash flow will not be enough. They must increase the leverage of existing assets and borrow more funds from the bank.
Leverage is easy to add, but the risk is also greater.
Once a problem occurs in any link, funds cannot flow back on time, or even bad debts occur, it will affect the entire system and make the entire Ding family feel uncomfortable.
This is like dancing on the edge of a knife. You have to keep your nerves tense at all times and not allow any mistakes. It was at this time that Xu Jiasi called.
"Brother Pingzhou, why are you being so mean to me?" Xu Jiasi said aggrievedly, "I just miss you very much. I didn't mean to disturb you."
Ding Pingzhou: “…”
Whenever he heard Xu Jiasi's soft words and coquettish behavior, Ding Pingzhou had no resistance at all. To be honest, although Xu Jiasi also had a pretty face, it was far inferior to Jiang Nuo's. But he knew how to show weakness and act coquettishly. Even if Ding Pingzhou spoke coldly to him, he would not get angry. He didn't need to spend time coaxing her, just giving her a few expensive gifts would be enough to win her over.
To be fair, Ding Pingzhou really likes Jiang Nuo, but Young Master Jiang is difficult to please. He will never bow his head during an argument, and there is no gift that can impress him - he has been enjoying the best of everything since he was a child, so what good things has he not seen?
That's why Ding Pingzhou sought solace in the completely different Xu Jiasi. However, he was, firstly, very busy, and secondly, ever since Jiang Nuo 'broke up' with him, he hadn't shown any interest in anyone else.
Then Xu Jiasi cried, "Brother Pingzhou, you haven't paid attention to me for a long time. Is there something I did wrong?"
"..." Ding Pingzhou rubbed his brows, "Just tell me what you have to say."
Xu Jiasi burst into laughter. "I want to live in the international student dormitory! Brother Pingzhou, can you help me and go and say hello to the school leaders? I saw that even if you're not an international student, you can live here. The ordinary dormitories are for six people, and I don't want to live with so many stinky men! You don't want me to suffer, right?"
It was strange. In the past, when Xu Jiasi would act like a spoiled child and ask for things from him, Ding Pingzhou always enjoyed it and gave it to her without hesitation. But now, he just found it annoying and inexplicably reminded him of Jiang Nuo. Was Jiang Nuo's sudden breakup just because he and someone like Xu Jiasi were having trouble understanding each other?
After a moment of silence, Xu Jiasi asked carefully, "Brother Pingzhou? Are you listening?"
Ding Pingzhou said, "Jia Si, what do you think our relationship is?"
Xu Jiasi blurted out: "Of course they are lovers!"
"No, we're not," Ding Pingzhou denied anxiously, as if he was afraid of being linked to him. He spoke quickly, "We're just ordinary friends. I helped you get an exchange place at Yanlin University, and now you've successfully enrolled. Let's end it here and don't contact each other again."
Xu Jiasi: "You want to break up with me?!"
Ding Pingzhou corrected: "We don't count as being together."
Xu Jiasi had actually already vaguely guessed, "So that's why you've been avoiding me for over a month? Brother Pingzhou, do you have a new love, or... or, does your childhood sweetheart mind my presence? Did that Young Master Jiang pick a fight with you? Did you have a fight because of me?"
Ding Pingzhou: “…”
Xu Jiasi took it as his acquiescence and continued, "I don't mind his existence, so why can't he be more generous and not mind me? Brother Bingzhou, I'm not like that young master. I'm very sensible. As long as it makes you happy, I'm willing to have no name or status. Otherwise... I'll go apologize to him."
In his previous life, when Ding Pingzhou heard these words, he might have followed Xu Jiasi's line of thought and thought that Jiang Nuo had a bad temper and was ignorant. But now, Jiang Nuo was too lazy to even look at him, which made Ding Pingzhou so confused that he didn't bother to pay any attention to Xu Jiasi.
"Why are you apologizing to him?" Ding Pingzhou said sternly, "Don't bother him! Otherwise, forget about successfully completing your studies at Yan University!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone with a "click".
Facts have proven that men are not incapable of identifying green tea, but are deliberately blinded by their own ignorance and unwilling to admit it. Therefore, Ding Pingzhou actually knew that if Xu Jiasi really went to show off to Xiao Nuo, Xiao Nuo would definitely be angry.
It is normal for people to be angry, and it is not the temper of a spoiled brat.
.
Xu Jiasi called Ding Pingzhou back, but he didn't answer. How could this happen? Why had Ding Pingzhou become so cold to him overnight?
Xu Jiasi was unwilling to give up. Since the relationship could not be saved, he didn't mind using threats.
[Xu Jiasi]: Brother Pingzhou, I don't know what misunderstanding you have about me, but I still hope we can sit down and have a good chat. I don't admit that we are just 'ordinary friends'. Ordinary friends wouldn't sleep in the same bed or do things like that, right? There's something I forgot to tell you. There are surveillance cameras in my rental house.
Also, I have kept our transfer records and chat records - including those complaints you made to me about your elder brother and your father's extreme remarks.
If you don't want your rich lover, your father, your elder brother, and even your colleagues at the company to know about our relationship and what kind of a bad person you are in private, then we should part ways amicably.
We can break up, but if you want to get rid of me with just a few words, then I can only give you two words: Dream on!
.
Because of his excitement, Xu Jiasi's fingers were almost shaking as he finished writing this short essay. He then went back to check and revise it. When he felt that there was no problem and he had prepared himself mentally, he took a deep breath and sent out this threatening message.
Unfortunately, the response I got was——
Ding Pingzhou has turned on friend verification, but you are not his (her) friend yet.
Xu Jiasi: “………………”
"Very good," Xu Jiasi said angrily, "Ding Pingzhou, just wait for me!"
.
Ding Pingzhou had no idea how serious the ultimatum he had missed. He had been so busy that he had no time to think about anything else, but Xu Jiasi's call suddenly reminded him of someone.
He and Jiang Nuo haven't been in touch for nearly a week.
Ding Pingzhou opened his WeChat and typed a long paragraph in the chat box, rewriting it word by word. But when he felt dissatisfied, he deleted it word by word, and finally sent only two simple words: "Are you there?"
.
"Ding Dong."
Jiang Nuo's phone rang. Although the screen was locked, the preview function was not turned off.
The lock screen lit up and displayed loudly: [Ding Pingzhou]: Are you there?
"Is my cell phone ringing?" Jiang Nuo leaned on the pillow and asked vaguely.
Gu Jiangkuo looked away from his phone, which was lying flat on the end of the bed, and said calmly, "It looks like an advertisement."
Jiang Nuo said "Oh" and closed his eyes again.
He had eaten too much at lunch and felt sleepy. It was a rare day without work, so Mr. Jiang planned to have a good sleep and live a luxurious slow life. When they returned to the newly decorated dormitory, Gu Jiangkuo volunteered to give him a massage and was now carefully massaging his feet.
Young Master Jiang's body is soft and tender everywhere, his ankles are slender, his toes are round and full, his instep is white, and the pads of his toes are a light cherry pink. Even his nails are extremely neat and translucent, with a faint scent of shower gel.
Jiang Nuo thought Gu Jiangkuo was keeping his promise and working hard, but she didn't know that the other party couldn't let go of her.
But just as he was about to fall asleep again, he heard his phone ding again, and it dinged several times in a row. Could it be something urgent? Mr. Jiang had to get up and ordered softly with sleepiness: "Bring it here."
Gu Jiangkuo stared at the sender's name, "Ding Pingzhou", gritted his teeth, and then handed over the phone obediently.
When Jiang Nuo saw the content of the WeChat message, he also felt a sense of bad luck. He glanced at the other party's sour remarks and set the message to be do not disturb.
Then he casually threw his phone onto the bedside table.
Seeing this, Gu Jiangkuo felt a little better for some reason, but he couldn't help but ask casually, "Master, do you still have his WeChat? Don't you usually delete each other after breaking up?"
Jiang Nuo raised his eyelids and looked at him with a bit of amusement: "Why are you so gossipy?"
"This is not gossip." Gu Jiangkuo rubbed the tender feet in his hands and argued in a low voice.
"It's not that I don't want to delete him, but I still have to do business with him in the future." Jiang Nuo said, "There's nothing I can do about it."
Gu Jiangkuo: "Doing business with Ding Pingzhou?"
President Jiang then revealed that cunning look of calculating and calculating people: "If nothing unexpected happens, Ding Pingzhou is busy increasing leveraged loans right now."
"You mean, he will come to you to borrow money?" Jiang's company has just launched a new financial management service. It is no longer engaged in high-risk P2P, but is turning to more stable traditional financial management. It is inevitable to cooperate with these large corporate projects.
Jiang Nuo: “I think so.”
Gu Jiangkuo pressed on: "Will you lend it to him?"
Jiang Nuo raised an eyebrow, even lifted her foot from his hand, and tapped Gu Jiangkuo's chest, "What do you think?"
Young Master Jiang's lips curled slightly, and his eyes and eyebrows seemed to be smiling. This expression was extremely rare. He was lying lazily, and he was really as beautiful as a peach. Especially the point where his toes were touching his heart, made Gu Jiangkuo's whole face start to flush. He couldn't help but lower his head to hide it and said honestly, "Of course you won't."
"Yes, so why are you asking questions even though you already know the answer?" Jiang Nuo said, "The business I'm talking about is another one. Jiang Kuo, do you believe it? Ding Pingzhou will go bankrupt sooner or later. He will be so poor that even his residence will be sealed by the bank." He must also have a taste of what he had experienced in his previous life.
