Several people sat around a rectangular table. Wen Jiaojiao stared blankly at the steak and cutlery laid out in front of her.
Knowing I come from a small village, why did they serve me steak?
Fortunately, I know how to do this, so I won't embarrass myself. But why did this family take me in when they clearly don't welcome me?
Seeing that she didn't move, Qi Ying chuckled:
"What? You don't know how? Otherwise, I'll have the servants make you a special bowl of tomato and egg noodles."
Wen Jiaojiao held a fork in her left hand and a knife in her right, under the gazes of everyone.
She deftly cut open the steak, glanced at it, and said in a nonchalant tone:
"Medium-rare, I really don't like it that way. Could I please have a bowl of tomato and egg noodles?"
Jiang Peitian silently wondered about her background: No wonder she was also the daughter of a wealthy family who had been separated from her family.
Wen Jiaojiao soon received the tomato and egg noodles brought by the nanny. She ate the noodles with satisfaction and said:
Do you usually eat Western food at home?
Jiang Ci sat next to her, her gaze fixed on her without any attempt to look away. She always had a soft spot for beautiful women, and smiled as she said:
"I don't eat it often, but my cousin wanted to eat it today, so I asked the nanny to make Western food. Besides, I don't really like it."
Jiang Ci's face somewhat resembles Jiang Peitian's, but she leans more towards the cute type.
Wen Jiaojiao glanced at her, and connecting it to the novel's content, immediately understood Qi Ying's general identity.
Determined to improve the relationship, she said, "How about I share half with you?"
"OK."
Jiang Cigang chuckled and nodded in agreement. Qi Meijing then said, "Aunt Zhang, make another Chinese meal for 'Miss' separately."
Wen Jiaojiao realized that her deliberate emphasis on the term "young lady" was a warning to remind her of her place.
She silently put away her chopsticks: "..."
What kind of den of dragons and tigers is this?
Next, I must work hard to make money so I can buy a house and move out.
After finishing his meal, Jiang Peitian turned and walked out, saying indifferently:
“Ah Long, you will continue to follow her from now on.”
Wen Jiaojiao stood up and followed him, saying:
"Please wait a moment, I have something I'd like to ask you."
Jiang Peitian had just reached the door when he stopped and asked distantly, "What's wrong?"
Wen Jiaojiao felt that with this connection, it was impossible for her to be subjected to any unspoken rules.
In this impoverished era, money in the entertainment industry comes relatively easily and readily.
She began by asking, "I'd like to ask if I can get a job? Like, the kind of job you mentioned earlier, working at an entertainment company."
Jiang Peitian walked out:
"I'll have Ah Long take you there this afternoon."
Wen Jiaojiao returned to her room, sat cross-legged on the large bed, and counted a wad of banknotes in her hand:
"I currently have 12,000 yuan on hand. I'm not exactly a business whiz, but I'm sure property prices in this port city will rise in the future."
"Buy a place to live now, and then invest all your future profits in buying more properties and land. You're guaranteed to make a fortune and become the city's top property owner as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, Wen Jiaojiao felt there was no time to lose, so she turned and went out:
"Ah Long, can you take me to see some new apartments in the city?"
Ah Long: "Do you want to buy a house?"
"Yes, I have some savings and I plan to buy a smaller place to live first, otherwise it's quite inconvenient to squeeze into this place every day."
"Wait a moment, I'll go back to my room and change my clothes." After saying that, Ah Long turned around and went back into his room.
Why change clothes out of the blue?
It's definitely a phone call to inform Jiang Peitian.
Wen Jiaojiao glanced at his figure, her eyes darkened, and she decisively followed:
I'd like to see what you're up to.
After Ah Long closed the door, he called Jiang Peitian:
"Boss, she wants to buy a house and move out."
A deep voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Did she send you to ask me for money?"
Ah Long explained:
"No, that's not it. She plans to buy it herself and it looks like she'll be moving out, so I was just letting you know."
Jiang Peitian's voice was filled with undisguised disdain:
"Let her buy a house as she pleases, but moving out is not allowed, and we need to keep a close eye on her."
Little did he know, his voice, penetrating the door, reached the ears of Wen Jiaojiao, who was eavesdropping close to the door.
Hearing Ah Long hang up the phone, she decisively shrank back and took two steps outside:
Sure enough, something fishy is going on, but I'm a rebellious person by nature. You have your schemes, and I have my countermeasures.
The two arrived in the city, and as requested, Ah Long took her to a residential complex near Jiaci Entertainment Co., Ltd.
After making inquiries, Wen Jiaojiao discovered that the housing prices in Hong Kong were astonishing. She then spent all the money she had, plus the large gold watch given to her by Jiang Peitian.
I barely managed to buy an 80-square-meter two-bedroom apartment in a residential complex.
However, she doesn't regret it, because as long as the overall housing prices in Hong Kong rise sharply in another year...
When the time comes, she can sell the house, buy a small one in another small county, and the remaining money will be enough to live comfortably for the rest of her life.
This is called investing, and then you can start living a relaxed life.
Wen Jiaojiao was walking down the street amidst towering buildings when suddenly, her expression froze.
A car sped past in front, and the man in the back seat had thin lips and a straight nose. His bangs were swept back, revealing a full and smooth forehead. His handsome face was cold yet exuded a mature and composed air.
He leaned back lazily in his chair, lifting his eyelids to gaze into the crowd.
Wen Jiaojiao stood frozen in shock, muttering to herself:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. This person just looks familiar, but it's definitely not him."
Ah Long followed behind her and said:
"What's wrong?"
Wen Jiaojiao patted her forehead and said:
"I just had a bad eye. I felt like there was someone who looked like someone I knew."
Ah Long followed the flow of people and suddenly spotted a familiar vehicle. He knew the answer in his heart:
