Cui Linye looked at Jiang Xianyu. He knew that Jiang Xianyu and Jiang Tian had a past, but he was willing to define this past as a love game in the eyes of others.
When nobles talk about love, they're either playing a game or conducting an experiment, and this is especially true for people like Jiang Xianyu—he's a person dominated by rationality, and calmness is the essence of his character.
Cui Linye had never seen him show any particular anxiety before, but today he was unusually aggressive.
"I don't know what you're talking about, and I hope you can leave here as soon as possible. Perhaps I should be more explicit with you: there are too many secrets between us."
“Being a good brother doesn’t mean sharing everything, and I don’t need to report my daily schedule to you. If you check my IP address without my permission, I might even sue you.”
"I'll be lenient for the sake of your father and your family, but don't push your luck."
Cui Linye thought he had made himself clear enough, but Jiang Xianyu seemed not to have heard him at all.
He kept asking the same question: "Where is Jiang Tian?"
"What Jiang Tian?"
"What are you pretending for? You stopped so many planes at the airport just to find Jiang Tian, and now you're throwing this question at me: Where is Jiang Tian?"
“You violated someone else’s personal freedom and you will be punished. If you still consider yourself a human being, then please find some things that a human being should do. I’m taking her away.”
Jiang Xianyu is a very rational and direct person. He doesn't like to talk nonsense, because in fact, talking nonsense won't solve any problems.
He came here to find Cui Linye, his only thought being to take Jiang Tian away.
If he can't take Jiang Tian away, then the purpose of his coming here will be lost; he doesn't have that much time.
Cui Linye's smile finally vanished completely.
Now that things have come to this, there's no point in him pretending anymore. Clearly, Jiang Xianyu is a serious person; he doesn't buy into pretense and only believes the truth.
"What is your relationship with Jiang Tian?" Cui Linye finally asked the question.
He gave Jiang Xianyu, who had been relatively unknown until now, a proper look.
“You don’t need to know about my relationship with her. Right now, I just want to tell you that if you want to protect your reputation and image, then let me take Jiang Tian away.”
Cui Linye's expression became somewhat indescribably distorted.
"Alright, stop acting like a savior. You can't take Jiang Tian away; she'll stay here. Nobody can take her away."
Are you sure? If I were to go all out and fight you, do you think you would still be the winner?
Jiang Xianyu looked at Cui Linye, and a certain meaning in his eyes made Cui Linye's lips curl into a cold smile.
"Let me put it this way, you will see her, but at my wedding. At my wedding, you can shake her hand and talk to her, I will allow that. But anywhere else, forget it, you won't have the chance."
"Don't even think about protecting her. I won't let you do anything you shouldn't. You're an adult now, and you're in charge of the family. If you're still as naive and reckless as before, I'll just conclude that there's something wrong with your family's upbringing."
Jiang Xianyu asked coldly, "You're going to marry her?"
"Yes, we're getting married. I've already started preparing for the wedding. Don't worry, I'll choose her favorite wedding as a gift from me."
Cui Linye's words carried a hint of boasting.
Conversations between males can sometimes be very sensitive. At this moment, Cui Linye has keenly sensed that Jiang Xianyu also has an inexplicable feeling for Jiang Tian, so of course he has to try his best to assert his dominance.
He didn't even understand why Jiang Tian was involved with his two best brothers, but that didn't matter. The most important thing was that he wanted to marry Jiang Tian, not someone else.
Jiang Xianyu looked at him: "Is she willing to marry you? Have you asked her opinion? As far as I know, she likes Su Yuyao very much and even hopes to stay by his side forever. You and I can both see how much she cares for Su Yuyao. It's really unbelievable that you're talking about marriage with her now. I hope you're not joking."
“Why joke around? No one jokes about their life’s most important event. I really am going to marry her. What Su Yuyao couldn’t achieve, I will help him achieve. So, you can leave now. Don’t get in my way. I will send you the invitation. Once the location and time of our wedding are confirmed, you will have a great spot to attend.”
“No, I still want to take her with me,” Jiang Xianyu reiterated his opinion.
All the smiles on Cui Linye's face vanished.
"If you take her away, what can you give her? Are you even willing to marry her?"
"right."
Before Cui Linye could continue speaking, he heard Jiang Xianyu's unwavering reply.
He suddenly looked at Jiang Xianyu!
Jiang Xianyu is a pragmatist and doesn't think he has much romantic talent, so he always speaks his mind.
“I plan to marry her. If it weren’t for marrying her, why would I go to such lengths to take over the family business? All my efforts during this time have been for her.”
"So, you understand what I mean? If you want to use the advantage of being able to marry her to defeat me, then let me tell you, it's not just you who's willing to make that sacrifice; I can too."
For some reason, Cui Linye suddenly laughed: "I really didn't expect that you and I would both be willing to get married to her. I'm so surprised. Are you sure this is the result of your careful consideration?"
"Yes, I've thought about it for a long time," Jiang Xianyu replied affirmatively.
"So, if only her boyfriend is afraid to marry her, then he really is a coward in the literal sense," Cui Linye laughed.
Jiang Xianyu didn't offer any insightful opinions to others. In his comparison with Su Yuyao, Jiang Tian clearly favored Su Yuyao more.
But so what? He's the one who's willing to save her from this predicament. Su Yuyao is currently abroad, and flights aren't that slow. The reason he hasn't come back is simply because he's not serious.
"You should know that Jiang Tian will not have any dowry."
Jiang Xianyu's expression remained unchanged: "If you understand my attitude, then you should know that I am willing to marry her, even if she has no money. She is just an ordinary person, how much wealth could she possibly have? What I want is her as a person, not her property. If I can marry her, property is not a big problem."
Jiang Xianyu made it very clear that he didn't care, because he cared about more important issues.
He hoped that he and Jiang Tian could have a happy ending, and he hoped that Jiang Tian wouldn't get trapped in this mess.
He came to rescue her.
Previously, Jiang Tian had been saying that every time she needed him to save her, he would avoid her, refuse, or directly show his disgust.
This time, things are finally different.
He was finally able to proactively perceive the crisis she was facing, and willingly stood in front of the abuser at any cost, just to protect her.
He's slowly changing in a way that she likes. Will she like it?
