Chapter 89 He's Jealous
Jiang Mingyue smiled.
How could such a high-class private hotel have such low-class pickup lines?
What kind of era is this? It's not keeping up with the times at all.
She turned around to see who it was, and upon seeing it, she immediately raised an eyebrow and smiled.
interesting.
Two men, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, stood on the walkway in front of Tingyu Pavilion. Their clothes and appearance clearly indicated that they were young masters raised by wealthy families in Beijing, covered in designer brands and wearing expensive watches.
One of them, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses and was a little younger, saw Jiang Mingyue turn around and his eyes lit up. He quickly said to the person next to him, "Brother Ren, you guessed right, she really is a pretty girl."
"I'm trained, and I'm a man of my word. Pay up."
The man known as Brother Ren is Ren Maowen. He is a wealthy third-generation heir who enjoys eating, drinking, and having fun. He is good-looking, has some money, and has been a womanizer for years without ever failing.
Reluctantly, the man with the black-rimmed glasses took out his phone and transferred five thousand yuan to Ren Maowen. "Brother Ren, I've transferred it to you."
Ren Maowen wasn't in a hurry to order. He lifted his foot and walked towards the pretty girl on the winding covered bridge. "Beautiful lady, let's get to know each other and exchange contact information. My buddy just lost a bet, and he gave me five thousand. Thank you for turning around, I'll give you two thousand."
Jiang Mingyue was offended and felt quite annoyed, but she held back.
She said no, turned around and left.
Jiang Mingyue's sleeve was grabbed by the other party, and she immediately turned cold and raised her hand to slap him.
I hate people who have no sense of propriety!
A gust of wind hit Ren Maowen. Before he could see where the wind came from, he was blown around in place. The winding bridge was narrow, and he slipped and fell into the artificial lake with a splash!
The artificial lake wasn't deep, only waist-deep, but Ren Maowen couldn't swim and suddenly fell in, scaring him half to death.
Jiang Mingyue's gaze suddenly turned cold. Before she could make a move, the guests who heard the commotion all opened the door and rushed out.
Someone immediately shouted, "Wang Chaowei, open your dog eyes and see clearly! How dare you offend Sister Jiang?!"
A figure ran out of Tingyu Pavilion and rushed up the winding corridor bridge like a cannonball. Before he could even greet Jiang Mingyue, he swung his fist and smashed it at the black-rimmed glasses.
"He Yan! Stop!"
He Qi was exhausted and was about to chase after them when Yan Qian, who was beside her, raised his hand to stop her.
Yan Qian looked at Jiang Mingyue in the distance, met her gaze, and seeing that she was safe and sound, he then looked at the bewildered He Qi.
"That Wang family brat deserves a beating. Miss Jiang is He Yan's savior. If your savior is insulted, will you help him or not?"
He Qi was stunned. "Huh? What did you say?"
Yan Qian touched his nose; he had forgotten to tell He Qi about Jiang Mingyue.
"This is a long story, I'll explain it to you in detail later. Let's go out and clean up the mess first. If we anger Miss Jiang, neither of us will be able to get away with it."
When had He Qi ever seen Yan Qian afraid of anyone? Yan Qian was always fearless, yet someone could actually keep him in check.
That's unusual.
On the other side, Don Juan heard the cursing outside and ran out of the private room without saying a word.
He saw a man splashing around in the artificial lake, and two young men fighting on the covered bridge. Upon closer inspection, one of them looked like He Yan from the He family.
Don Juan was furious. Someone really had the nerve to flirt with Jiang Mingyue.
The people he invited were not about to be treated this way, and they immediately rushed over to beat him up.
Jiang Mingyue grabbed Don Juan, "Brother Tang, don't be impulsive, I'm fine."
Jiang Mingyue was strong, and Don Juan was forced to stop in his tracks. Upon seeing this, he immediately circled around Jiang Mingyue.
"Mingyue, are you really alright?"
Jiang Mingyue looked at Don Juan and smiled, "Brother Tang, I'm really fine. The guy with glasses didn't touch me, but the guy who grabbed my sleeve got slapped into the lake by me."
Then he briefly explained the reason.
Upon hearing this, Don Juan flew into a rage and tried to strike up a conversation by tugging at Jiang Mingyue's sleeve, which truly offended her.
"Don't worry, I'll make them apologize to you."
At the same time, Yan Qian and He Qi arrived and stepped forward to separate He Yan and Wang Chaowei.
He Yan's hair was a mess and his face was bruised. Wang Chaowei wasn't in much better shape; he was missing his glasses and, being nearsighted with a prescription of 500 degrees, couldn't see everyone's faces clearly, only making out their general appearance.
The two were not convinced and continued to shout and curse at each other.
"I hit you because you colluded with Ren Maowen to bully my Sister Jiang!"
The owner of the private restaurant arrived upon hearing the news, only to find the Yan family, the He family, and even the movie star Don Juan all there. He was immediately at his wit's end.
We can't afford to offend any of them!
Ignoring the two men arguing, Boss Shan first pulled Ren Maowen out of the artificial lake.
He Qi took the opportunity to scold He Yan a few times, "He Yan, shut up!"
Someone picked up the glasses from the ground, and Yan Qian took them from him and handed them to Wang Chaowei, saying, "Call your parents now."
Wang Chaowei put on his glasses and realized that the person speaking was Yan Qian, which terrified him.
Why is Yan Qian here too?!
He looked around, his heart pounding. He Qi was there too, and the person standing next to that girl looked familiar—it looked like the movie star Don Juan.
Don Juan... his father was a student of Don Juan's father, Tang Guozhong.
Wang Chaowei stood there, his face pale.
After being dragged ashore, Ren Maowen didn't bother to dry his face; he rolled up his sleeves and was about to cause trouble.
Yan Qian was closest to Ren Maowen, so he kicked him directly. Ren Maowen was caught off guard, his knees buckled, and he fell to his knees.
"Ren family boy, look carefully before you speak."
Yan Qian's kick was a great pleasure to He Yan. If his older brother hadn't held him back, he would have joined in with a kick too.
Jiang Mingyue raised her phoenix eyes. She hadn't been gentle enough just now; she should have slapped him and ruined his mouth.
Tang Juan recognized Ren Maowen, a fun-loving member of the younger generation of the Ren family. He was beaten several times by him when he was a child.
“Ren Maowen, Miss Jiang is my guest.” Tang Huang glared sternly at Ren Maowen. “You have all ruined Old Master Ren’s good reputation.”
Ren Maowen's knee hit the hard stone of the winding corridor bridge, making him wince in pain, but he couldn't cry out because he then realized that the person who kicked him was Yan Qian, whom he couldn't afford to offend.
In addition, members of the He family were also present.
When Ren Maowen realized that the person standing next to the pretty young woman was none other than the movie star Don Juan, his heart sank.
This young lady comes from quite a background; the Yan family, the He family, and the Tang family are all present.
Oh no, oh no, it seems he's offended someone he shouldn't have.
Just then, Xie Fei and his assistant arrived and were completely baffled to see the group of people standing or kneeling on the winding covered bridge.
"What happened?"
Xie Fei's reputation speaks for itself, and in terms of seniority and age, he is older than everyone else present. No one dares to give him face.
The group all spoke up, "Thank you, Teacher Xie."
Xie Fei looked around. Some people looked familiar, some he knew, and some he didn't recognize at all.
He passed by Ren Maowen, who was kneeling, and only glanced at him curiously before striding towards Tang Juan and Jiang Mingyue at the other end.
"Xiao Tang and Xiao Jiang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. There was a traffic jam on the way. I'll punish myself with a cup of tea later."
Jiang Mingyue smiled and said, "Teacher Xie, you don't need to punish yourself. You've come at just the right time."
Don Juan exchanged a few pleasantries with Xie Fei. Xie Fei wasn't stupid; he quietly asked Don Juan what had happened, and Don Juan gave a brief explanation.
Xie Fei was fiercely protective of his own people and couldn't stand seeing them being bullied. He immediately turned around and glared at Ren Maowen, who was kneeling, and Wang Chaowei, who was standing to the side.
"This is outrageous!"
Then, Xie Fei took charge on behalf of Jiang Mingyue and looked at Yan Qian and He Qi, whom he knew, "Xiao Yan and Xiao He, Mingyue is a distinguished guest I invited tonight. These two brats are blind and their parents are to blame for not teaching them properly. Please ask them to come over and apologize in person."
Jiang Mingyue blinked. Beijing was really small. Teacher Xie Fei actually knew Yan Qian and He Yan's older brother.
When Xie Fei stepped in, Don Juan backed down and handed the situation over to Xie Fei to manage.
Yan Qian readily agreed, "Teacher Xie, please rest assured, I will personally call their parents."
He Yan was pleased with himself and finally had the mood to look at Jiang Mingyue. He excitedly stepped forward and said, "Sister Jiang! Long time no see!"
He Yan's desire to freeload a meal was obvious, but He Qi quickly grabbed him.
He Qi quickly pulled the woman behind him and introduced himself, "Hello, Miss Jiang. I'm He Yan's older brother. I happen to be out of the country regarding He Yan's matter. Miss Jiang, how many days are you staying in Beijing? Would you do me the honor of having a casual meal with me?"
Don Juan and Xie Fei didn't get involved. Whether Jiang Mingyue accepted He Qi's invitation or not was none of anyone else's business.
He Qi and He Yan don't look alike; they don't look like brothers when they stand together. He Qi looks like his father, while He Yan looks like his mother.
Jiang Mingyue only planned to stay in Beijing for three to four days, and then return to Huai County with Shao Quan on Sunday. If she accepted He Qi's dinner invitation, it might never end, and there would be another one.
Thinking of this, she politely declined, saying, "I probably have to go back the day after tomorrow, and I won't be free these next two days. I appreciate your thanks."
After saying that, without waiting for He Qi's response, Jiang Mingyue looked at He Yan and said, "Come here."
He Yan's eyes lit up, and he broke free from He Qi's hand, trotting over to her.
Ignoring the strange looks from the crowd, Jiang Mingyue grabbed He Yan's left arm in front of everyone, twisted and pushed it, her move was quick and accurate.
With a sharp crack, He Yan belatedly cried out in pain.
Jiang Mingyue patted He Yan's left shoulder, "Silly boy, next time you hear someone badmouthing me, don't be so impulsive."
Everyone suddenly realized that He Yan's left arm had been dislocated!
He Qi looked embarrassed. He was such a negligent older brother, he hadn't even noticed that He Yan's left arm was dislocated.
The next second, He Qi belatedly realized that it was no wonder her younger brother was so devoted to Miss Jiang; Miss Jiang was clear about her likes and dislikes and was extremely meticulous.
Just from Jiang Mingyue's display of skill, Ren Maowen, who was kneeling, and Wang Chaowei, who was standing, exchanged a glance and felt like they wanted to die.
This guy is obviously a trained fighter!
Afterwards, Xie Fei, Tang Huang, and Jiang Mingyue returned to Tingtao Pavilion for dinner, and Yan Qian and his group also returned to their private room.
He Yan sat down next to He Qi with a smile, swinging his left arm. "Big brother, I wasn't lying to you, was I? Sister Jiang is very good to me!"
He Qi's ears were filled with people calling her "Sister Jiang" this and "Sister Jiang" that.
"I understand, I understand. It's a pity we can't get her to come. We'll have to try again next time."
As for Ren Maowen and Wang Chaowei, who did something foolish, they didn't dare to leave and obediently stayed in the next private room, waiting for their parents to come.
Yan Qian took a moment to go over and give them some pointers, "Just search online to find out who Sister Jiang is, and you'll understand why we asked your parents to come over."
Ren Maowen and Wang Chaowei have slept with many young models and internet celebrities, but they dare not touch female celebrities in the entertainment industry because their family rules forbid them from doing so, otherwise their credit cards will be suspended.
The name Sister Jiang sounded familiar; they might have seen it before. They took out their phones and searched for it, and what they found shocked them.
It turns out that the pretty girl they chatted up tonight was Sister Jiang!
Is there a pill to undo regret?!
There are too many things said about Sister Jiang online.
Since leaving the Clover girl group, her fan base has surged from over one million to thirty million. She single-handedly boosted the ratings of variety shows such as "Brothers on the Move," "Adventure Journey," and "All-Star Games." Her appearance on the first cover of the year for "Tianxiu" magazine even broke the previous year's online sales record.
In addition, she did many acts of bravery and righteousness. After retiring from the entertainment industry, she returned to her hometown and boosted the cultural tourism economy of Huai County.
Ren Maowen finally came to his senses. If Jiang Mingyue were simply a retired female celebrity with 30 million fans, she would not have befriended Yan Qian, He Qi, and others. There must be other reasons.
Considering that He Yan desperately beat up Wang Chaowei for Jiang Mingyue, it becomes quite intriguing.
I heard that He Yan was kidnapped last year and almost killed...
Ren Maowen was drenched in cold sweat and his teeth were chattering.
No way! Yan Qian stared intently at Ren Maowen, and seeing the colorful expression on Ren Maowen's face, he knew that this kid had guessed something.
“Miss Jiang is not only my honored guest, but also Mr. He’s honored guest. I just contacted your elder brother. Before he comes, you should think about how to explain this to him.”
Ren Maowen's elder brother is none other than Ren Kai, the owner of Bishui Construction.
Tingtao Pavilion.
None of the other guests on the show were in Beijing, so there were only four of them having dinner together, including Xie Fei's assistant.
Xie Fei took out two concert tickets and handed them to Tang Huang and Jiang Mingyue.
"I have a concert at the Beijing Gymnasium the night after tomorrow. Are you free to come?"
Don Juan looked at Jiang Mingyue; if she went, he would naturally accompany her.
"Thank you, Teacher Xie. We will definitely come and support you." Jiang Mingyue accepted the tickets with delight and carefully looked at the seats, which were VIP seats in the central area.
Xie Fei nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'll be waiting for you then."
The three of them ate and chatted, thoroughly enjoying their conversation.
Halfway through the meal, Xie Fei finally brought up He Yan, "Hey, Mingyue, how did you meet He Yan and the others?"
When the matter was brought up, Jiang Mingyue gave a brief explanation.
"Oh, I met He Yan by chance at the Ghost Market in Lingcheng. Later, He Yan was kidnapped by villains, and Yan Qian came to my door. We got to know each other after a while."
Xie Fei was shocked when he first heard about this, and quickly offered Jiang Mingyue a cup of tea.
"Mingyue, you are truly a heroine among women. I am very impressed. I will toast you with tea instead of wine."
Jiang Mingyue raised her water glass and clinked it with Xie Fei's.
During the meal, Don Juan focused on being a guest of honor, remaining mostly silent.
Jiang Mingyue noticed his unusual behavior and asked him quietly when Xie Fei went to the restroom, "What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"
Don Juan was actually a little frustrated. Jiang Mingyue was too amazing. Even when she was being harassed, she always had someone to help her, which made him seem too useless.
These are things I cannot say to her.
He jokingly said, "You're so good to He Yan, it's making me jealous."
Is he jealous?
Jiang Mingyue carefully examined Don Juan and saw that his eyes were filled with melancholy, which did not seem to be fake.
She smiled helplessly and immediately refilled his tea. "Brother Tang, what's with this jealousy? That silly boy fought for me and even dislocated his left arm. How could I just stand by and watch him dislocate it without helping him?"
"You were just about to roll up your sleeves and start a fight, did I stop you? You can't let anyone catch you doing something wrong."
Don Juan thought about it and agreed. Jiang Mingyue's attitude towards He Yan was obvious; it was like teasing a puppy.
No matter how good Wei Laiqi and the others were to her, he wasn't jealous. I don't know what's wrong with him tonight. Maybe he's not jealous of He Yan, but rather that he couldn't help her.
It's just his male pride getting the better of him; he's just feeling disappointed.
"It doesn't matter if I'm discovered, I have a legitimate reason. Besides, I've already started to move behind the scenes, and in a few years no one will remember me."
Even so, Jiang Mingyue still didn't want him to get into trouble. He was a person of integrity and purity, and he didn't deserve to have a stain that would be criticized by others.
She comforted him, "If He Yan doesn't rush out, I have ways to deal with them."
Don Juan hummed in agreement and dropped the subject, instead talking about the concert the night after tomorrow.
Around 9 p.m., Ren Maowen and Wang Chaowei's parents arrived at Shan's Private Kitchen.
Ren Kai came from the Ren family side; Ren Maowen's parents are not in Beijing. Wang Chaowei's father came from his side.
When Yan Qian contacted them, he only told the two children over the phone that they had offended someone, without revealing the other person's identity, and instructed them to come over and apologize in person.
How could Ren Kai and Wang's father not give Yan Qian face? The two hurriedly packed their things, carrying a bunch of gifts to compensate Yan Qian, and also brought 500,000 yuan in cash and a bank card with 1 million yuan, just in case.
Ren Kai and Wang's father found Ren Maowen and Wang Chaowei, and after learning the whole story, they were furious.
Wang's father gave Wang Chaowei a good beating. He had warned him long ago not to flirt with random people outside. There were many influential people in Beijing. He might be able to get him out of trouble today, but what about afterwards? He was getting on in years; could he spend his whole life paying to protect his brat?!
Ren Kai was furious. He grabbed Ren Maowen's ear and yelled, "Do you know how important Miss Jiang is to me?! You brat, you've offended everyone. Come with me right now and apologize to Miss Jiang."
Ren Maowen was completely confused. How did his older brother know Jiang Mingyue? Just how powerful was she?
"Brother, tell me the truth, what did Miss Jiang do for you?"
Ren Kai glared at him. "Mind your own business. Go over there and apologize right now. Behave yourself."
