Chapter 49 Too Embarrassed to Talk
"I..." It was really hard to say. Bai Yuqing didn't look at the girl in front of him and said quickly, "I followed them."
"Ah!" Jiang Jinyue let out a short cry. It was really... unexpected.
This is very different from his usual personality.
"Don't hold it in, just laugh if you want to." After saying it, she felt a lot more relaxed. Bai Yuqing looked at her pursed lips and said helplessly and amusedly.
Jiang Jinyue curled his lips but managed to smile. "It's really hard to say. So what did you track down?"
"That man is a university professor and has written many books."
"That boy," he said, his voice tinged with laughter as he spoke of the boy, "He's very popular. I saw him receive love letters and snacks at such a young age."
"Have you ever received a love letter?"
Jiang Jinyue swore that he didn't interrupt him on purpose, the words just came out of his mouth.
"No." Bai Yuqing answered quickly.
I added a reason in my mind: because the number of words that the children in the village can write is not enough to constitute a "book".
They confessed their feelings directly.
"Oh." Jiang Jinyue touched his nose, "Go on."
"In the morning, he was taken to school by his nanny and driver. After school, his father picked him up and took him to play ball, and then..."
Whenever he mentioned his mother, he would pause before speaking out: "Later, my mother came too, and they took him to piano lessons together. It was in a small Western-style building, and the sound of the piano drifted in from the window. The couple listened to him play while drinking on chairs outside the tavern downstairs."
Jiang Jinyue imagined the scene in her mind as he spoke. Then, looking at Bai Yuqing in front of her like a child, she said to her with a bit of boasting, "You know what? My mother and I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
The beautiful picture in Jiang Jinyue's mind was instantly shattered.
She still remembered how Bai Yuqing looked after he got "drunk" that time, haha, but he was in a bad mood today, so she didn't bother with him.
So she gave him a thumbs-up like praising a child, "Yeah. That's amazing."
Bai Yuqing said: "They are really happy and they raise their children very well."
"It's okay, I..." She wanted to say I'll support you, but the word 'support' seemed to have too many ambiguities. They had a small conflict over this yesterday.
When she hesitated, Bai Yuqing said, "You support me, Jiu."
"My return on investment must be higher than my brother's." At this moment, he became competitive like a little child again.
But he called the boy his younger brother.
He didn't ask the reason or care about the result, he just held a pure heart and supported his mother absolutely and unconditionally.
Jiang Jinyue sighed in her heart, walked forward, hugged his waist, rested her chin on his chest, and looked up at him.
The man's eyes were scorching yet gentle, as if they wanted to burn everything, yet also as if they could gently embrace everything. "Jiang Jinyue, let's make a deal. You'll support me for the rest of my life, okay?"
He childishly stretched out his little finger, and Jiang Jinyue childishly hooked it as well.
Make a pinky promise and don’t change it for a hundred years.
The next day, Bai Yuqing saw Jiang Jinyue out.
Then I returned to the study, where there was a card clearly visible on the desk - a bank card.
And a note -
[This is the first tuition fee I paid you. Use it to invest in stocks.]
Bai Yuqing curled his lips into a smile, took a photo, and sent an emoticon that said "Thank you, sponsor."
But soon he couldn't laugh anymore, when he saw the balance of the card——
Available balance (RMB): 20,000,000
No...this is too much.
A full 20 million?!
At this time, Jiang Jinyue was sitting alone in the nanny car, thinking about which strong woman in Gengcheng's upper-class society had a husband who was a university professor and had a son in elementary school?
Ah…I can’t remember.
She really doesn't know much about other people's families.
Moreover, rich people like to gild their academic qualifications. There are a lot of them with masters and many with doctors, and they feel noble when they teach at universities.
I can only ask other people for help.
Just as I sent the message to inquire, Bai Yuqing called me.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Jinzhu, you have given me too much."
Jiang Jinyue crossed his legs, acting like a big boss, the last thing he had to do was hold a cigar or a deck of cards between his fingers. "Bai Yuqing, don't underestimate me. This little money is just a drop in the bucket. I can give you everything your mother gave your brother. No, I want double!"
Bai Jiqi laughed softly.
"What are you laughing at, Bai Yuqing? I'm very competitive. Don't let my investment go to waste."
"Yes, sir!"
"But this 20 million is just tuition. If I lose, I lose. It doesn't matter."
Bai Yuqing sighed and shook her head. She really couldn't find anyone more soft-hearted than her.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Yuqing immersed himself in the things at hand, until a phone call pulled him away from his concentration.
A strange phone number.
When I picked up the phone, it was a young man's voice: "Hello, is this Bai Yuqing?"
"Yes, that's right. May I ask who you are?"
"I'm Jiang Jinyue's brother."
Bai Yuqing was originally leaning lazily against the back of the chair, with his eyes closed, looking relaxed.
Upon hearing this, he immediately straightened his posture, cleared his throat uncomfortably a few times, and sat upright, the only thing missing was wearing a red scarf.
His voice was unnatural, almost taking on a broadcasting tone: "Hello."
"I heard that you are following Jinyue now."
"Um."
He pronounced this syllable with great solemnity.
"As your brother, I love you so much that I want to treat you to a meal today. I wonder if you would be so kind as to honor me."
This kind of weird tone only made Bai Yuqing droop his eyelids, but he still responded: "Okay, what time and where, please tell me, I will be there on time."
The address Jiang Jinyue's brother sent was at a pier.
When Bai Yuqing arrived, a yacht was parked on the shore. He was standing on the shore. Four men were leaning on the railing of the yacht, wearing sunglasses. When they saw him, they pointed at him and said something. The man in the middle nodded, and they all laughed again.
Bai Yuqing looked down at himself and smiled.
He really doesn't look good with his dirty face.
He went out early today and bought a new set of clothes and shoes.
But there are unexpected events in life. Sometimes, this city can be very big or very small.
He also didn't expect to meet his brother again.
