Chapter 19 Chapter 19 It would be better if he could bankrupt Jiang Mianhua. …
Jiang Mian is like a sticky candy. Once Qiao Yu sticks to him, he can't get rid of him.
They hadn't even been "together" in that sense for more than 24 hours, but they had not only kissed and hugged each other, but they had also slept together. Last night, it was even Qiao Yu who leaned over and hugged him.
Qiao Yu's ears and neck turned red, and he felt dizzy when he thought about taking the initiative.
His hands were still wet and he felt dizzy after being shaken by Jiang Mian.
There was a slight noise coming from the direction of the bedroom. Jiang Mian suddenly stopped and looked back over Qiao Yu's shoulder.
Qiao Yu put his hand on Jiang Mian's arm, twisted his body and looked back. His grandmother was standing at the door, also looking at them quietly.
Qiao Yu's scalp suddenly felt numb.
"Grandma, grandma!" He pushed Jiang Mian aside and ran over to get clothes for grandma. "Why are you up?"
Aunt Sun hasn't come yet at this time. Grandma usually sleeps until seven or eight o'clock.
He didn't know if it was because he and Jiang Mian made too much noise, but when he thought about what had just happened, Qiao Yu couldn't help but feel guilty and blushed, and even his speech began to stutter.
But grandma didn't seem to be confused by their overly intimate behavior. She just pushed Jiang Mian forward, then turned into the room, opened the closet and looked for something.
Qiao Yu followed without knowing why, and Jiang Mian also walked to the bedroom.
Then, the two of them saw grandma take out a feather duster, raise her hand and hit Jiang Mian with it.
Jiang Mian: “……!”
No one had expected what happened suddenly. Qiao Yu opened her eyes wide and saw Jiang Mian didn't even try to dodge and was hit by the stick from her grandmother.
This scene seemed familiar, and the world was in chaos the next second. Qiao Yu hurriedly pushed Jiang Mian out. When they reached the door, they happened to meet Aunt Sun, who drove them both out.
It snowed all night, and a thin layer of silver snow piled up in the corridor. The cold wind blew through the hall, making Qiao Yu shrink his neck due to the cold.
He leaned over and looked inside through the crack in the door. Aunt Sun was trying to stop the fight and pushed grandma back into the bedroom.
Although Jiang Mian did not suffer any loss from being beaten, since he had lost his memory, he must be a little confused.
Qiao Yu wanted to explain that her grandmother was usually very kind, but when she turned to look at Jiang Mian, he not only did not look aggrieved or confused as she had imagined, but instead lowered his head with a smile on his face.
Qiao Yu was puzzled: "What are you...laughing at?"
Jiang Mian raised his eyes and suppressed his smile: "Grandma is still willing to beat me."
Looking at his expression, he seemed relieved.
Qiao Yu thought: It must be owed.
He went back to the house, picked up his schoolbag and went to work.
Jiang Mian picked up the scarf that Qiao Yu had left on the clothes hanger and put it on him after they went out.
The two separated at the intersection. Qiao Yu took a few steps, stopped, and turned around.
Jiang Mian was still standing there. Seeing this, he opened his arms towards him and said, "Give me a hug."
It was a negotiating tone, with a hint of coquettishness.
Qiao Yu did not do as he wished.
"Are you leaving?" Qiao Yu asked.
Jiang Mian raised his chin and said, "Come back before the New Year."
Qiao Yu turned and left.
As a result, before he could even take a step forward, Jiang Mian grabbed his arm and pulled him back, knocking him into his arms.
"I already said hug."
Jiang Mian messed up the hair on the back of Qiao Yu's head.
He stood there in silence for a few seconds before pushing the person away. He raised his hand to tidy up his hair, but there was not much blame in his words: "Don't try that."
Jiang Mian just smiled.
He watched Qiao Yu leave, and his expression slowly darkened after the other person disappeared from his sight.
Then, he took out his cell phone from his pocket, lowered his head and swiped through the series of missed calls, picked one and called back.
The call was picked up almost immediately, and the voice was extremely anxious: "Third Young Master, you finally have news!"
Jiang Mian turned and walked in another direction, and asked slowly, "Well, what's wrong?"
"The Second Young Master came to Lincheng yesterday on a whim, and was very angry when he saw that you were not there. He said that he would take back your jurisdiction and give it to President Jiang."
The Mr. Jiang this person was referring to was Jiang Mian’s third uncle, Jiang Jinhua.
Ever since the eldest son of the Jiang family died in an accident six years ago, Mr. Jiang has retired to the second line due to health reasons, and all matters of the Jiang family, big or small, have always been handled by Jiang Jinhua.
Although this person has an awkward identity and his age is neither too young nor too old for the Jiang family, he still has some strength. No matter how much, compared with that loser Jiang Junyao, anyone who is not stupid will think that he is okay.
Now that Mr. Jiang's health is getting weaker, Jiang Jinhua's ambitions are gradually revealed.
Jiang Mian had been staying abroad. The reason why he was suddenly called back to China was certainly not because Mr. Jiang had changed his temperament and wanted to have descendants around him in his later years.
As for the specific idea, it remains to be figured out.
But even so, some things that are obvious can no longer be hidden.
The Jiang family's eldest son is gone, the second son is a fool, and the third son is of illegitimate origin. The already messy inheritance relationship becomes even more complicated with the presence of an uncle who is in his prime.
If something unexpected happened to Mr. Jiang at this critical juncture, with the Jiang family split into different factions, wouldn't there be chaos?
When the cake called "Jiang Family" is scattered all over the ground, countless jackals and hyenas lurking in the dark will jump out and bite it.
By then, even if you want to turn the tide, you won't be able to suddenly shut them up.
At this moment, Jiang Junyao is the only one who is like a fool, still worrying about his little piece of land.
To Jiang Jinhua? Can I get it back?
If you don't know the real purpose of the threat, only those who are willing to take the bait will be tempted.
"I see," Jiang Mian said, "Where's Luo Hao?"
"Boss Luo arrived in Lincheng last night."
"Okay," Jiang Mian looked up at the falling snow, "I'll go over now."

Qiao Yu was busy all morning and only took a break at half past eleven.
He checked his phone, but there was no message.
"Oh," a colleague joked, "Why is Teacher Qiao always looking at his phone today?"
Qiao Yu immediately put down his phone, pretended to pick up the water cup and took a sip: "Is there?"
"Really?" the colleague imitated his tone, "Are you in a relationship?"
Qiao Yu almost spit out a mouthful of water.
He quickly fled from the place of trouble and put an end to this horrible gossip.
Ninja didn't look at his phone all the way. After he arrived at school, finished his meal, and lay on the bed in the dormitory, he finally couldn't help but take out his phone, but there was still no message.
When we separated in the morning, Jiang Mian didn't say where he was going. Although he didn't have nowhere to go, but just -
What if there’s nowhere to go?
Qiao Yu gave up completely and opened Jiang Mian's dialog box.
Their messages were still stuck on Jiang Mian’s unilateral harassment from a few days ago, just as they were caught off guard by Jiang Mian’s unilateral disappearance today.
Qiao Yu turned off his phone in annoyance.
I tossed and turned for a long time without falling asleep, and suddenly my phone vibrated. It was a message from Jiang Mian.
【Jiang Mian: Let’s get on the plane [happy]】
【Jiang Mian: No signal...】
Just as I finished reading these two messages, the third one arrived.
[Jiang Mian: Getting off the plane [happy]]
【Jiang Mian: Please pay attention to me [poor]】
You are so old but you still add soybean emoticons after messages.
Qiao Yu turned off his cell phone, buried his head in the pillow and continued to sleep.
He closed his eyes for a while, thought about it, and finally got up and replied.
【Qiao Yu: [rolls eyes]】
In the afternoon, Qiao Yuru stayed in the laboratory as usual, working on his studies.
The experiment ended early in the evening. It was still light when he returned home. His grandmother was sitting in the corridor waiting for him in a thick cotton coat. Qiao Yu hurried over and asked, "Why are you sitting outside in such cold weather?"
Aunt Sun took out a hand warmer from the house and stuffed it into grandma's arms: "You come and persuade her, she won't go in no matter what I say."
Grandma held Qiao Yu's hand and leaned over to look behind him: "Where's Xiao Mian?"
Qiao Yu pulled her grandmother into the house: "He...went out."
Grandma looked puzzled: "Out?"
"Yeah," Qiao Yu improvised, "Go out, go out to school."
The door was closed, so the cold wind couldn't come in. The room was lit with the sun on, so it quickly became warm.
Grandma stuffed the hand warmer into Qiao Yu's hand and frowned, "School? What kind of school can he go to? He always ranks last in exams. It would be good if he can get into a technical school, find a decent job, and not cause trouble and have enough food to eat!"
Long-lost memories flooded into his mind, and Qiao Yu felt like he was choking.
"You can't say that!" Aunt Sun retorted, "Xiao Mian is so successful now, and he's very kind to you. Look at this big mink I bought for you, it's so loving!"
Qiao Yu finally reacted and touched her grandmother's clothes. They were shiny brown. She didn't know what kind of fur they were made of, but they didn't look cheap. "Did Jiang Mian buy them?"
"Yeah," Aunt Sun nodded her head like a rattle, "It was just delivered this afternoon. There's a lot of stuff, including my portion. There's also some food, drinks, medicines and supplements. I put them all away."
Qiao Yu hurried to the kitchen and bedroom to check, and found that the refrigerator and closet were already full.
In the living room, Aunt Sun was still muttering, saying that if grandma hit people with her cane again, she would not come again.
Qiao Yu felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Before going to bed, he took out the bank card Jiang Mian gave him and turned it over and over in his hands.
Although she said that she was doing it for money, Qiao Yu never thought of taking out a penny from these two bank cards to spend.
As a result, Jiang Mian had already spent the money he hadn't spent, so he spent it, and it was quite a lot.
Qiao Yu searched for the clothes and supplements one by one according to the brand. Although the prices varied, the cheapest ones were more than ten times the price of the most expensive ones.
There were also some supplements that Qiao Yu couldn't find at all.
He rubbed his phone and bit his fingernails, and his fingernails were all bitten off.
Logically speaking, he had nothing to feel guilty about. This amount of money was nothing to Jiang Mian.
Qiao Yu thought about it and closed his eyes and went to sleep.
After a moment, he turned over and thought again: Even if it means nothing, can't he spend it?
It would be better if he could bankrupt Jiang Mianhua.
Yes, Qiao Yu affirmed himself in his heart.
But what will happen if the Jiang family finds out?
The Jiang family really has a throne to inherit, so they can’t let Jiang Mian have a boyfriend.
If he can’t do it, then he can’t do it. Anyway, he has no plans to do anything with Jiang Mianzhen.
Who knows, if there really is a breakup fee of more than one million yuan thrown in his face, he will definitely run away with the money without looking back.
Just like when Jiang Mian left that year.
They shouldn't say anything about each other.
Qiao Yu was playing out this little drama in his head, hammering and banging his head left and right. He felt so sad and bitter that he was about to fall asleep.
At about eleven o'clock, the cell phone suddenly rang.
Qiao Yu suddenly woke up. It was a call from Jiang Mian.
He took his phone under the covers, and fog immediately covered the entire screen.
I rubbed the screen with my thumb and answered the call accidentally.
Qiao Yu fell silent as the call started counting down.
"Hello?" Jiang Mian's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Ayu."
The speakerphone was not on, but the sound was muffled by the quilt and also seemed to be muffled in my ears.
Qiao Yu turned sideways and buried his face in his arms. His hot breath warmed his face and even his head became dizzy.
"Are you listening?" Jiang Mian asked again, "Are you asleep?"
Qiao Yu pursed her lips and took the phone: "Asleep."
I don't really want to care.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep too," Jiang Mian said with a smile, "Good night, Yu."
