Chapter 6: Unable to bear the pain of love
When Jian Ruochen returned to the hilltop villa of Lijin International Garden in Butler Luo's Porsche, Guan Yingjun's "No" was still echoing in his mind.
Would a normal person say "no" at this time?
Jian Ruochen thought as he stepped into the gate of the mountaintop villa.
The lights came on as expected, and the luxurious crystal ceiling lights, reflected by the lights, interweaved into a dazzling curtain of light. He stepped on his heels and just as he took off his sneakers, a pair of slippers of the right size appeared in front of him.
Luo Binwen stood in the entrance hallway with a smile on his face, "Welcome home, young master."
The housekeeper introduced the layout of the villa incessantly, "The bathroom is the last one on the right hand side of the left turn upstairs. The bath water has been prepared. You can go back to sleep after taking a bath. The bathroom will be cleaned by an auntie."
Luo Binwen said, picking up a tray swiftly, "This is a change of clothes. It's still an hour before dawn. You are too tired today to go to school, so I applied for a day off."
Jian Ruochen took the tray and went upstairs in a daze. After soaking in the hot water filled with teak essential oil, I stared at the white petals in the bathtub being blown away by the ripples.
He grabbed a piece, crushed it in his palm, and murmured: "You see, even if we can't bear the pain of love, we can still bear the sin of money."
Jian Ruochen rubbed his wrists carefully, then wiped his body using the method from the Liaoning Bathhouse, and lay in a daze beside the bathtub that was big enough for swimming.
The bath corner has everything you need, including a small handheld mirror.
Jian Ruochen picked it up and took a look, surprised.
This body looks exactly like him.
Except for the hair which is white and longer than before, everything else is exactly the same, even the small red mole on the ear cartilage.
He had a clear and certain premonition.
There's no going back.
Jian Ruochen swam to the edge of the bathtub, trimmed the neat and beautiful nails on her hands with a nail clipper, stood up and walked under the shower to wash her hair.
As he rubbed his head awkwardly, he thought: Lu Qian returned with no success.
Jiang Yongyan was arrested and never returned.
Jiang Hanyu didn't wait for his blood...
How is the Jiang family doing now?
Jiangting Mansion, the ancestral home of the Jiang family.
Jiang Hanyu curled up on the sofa, tears welling up in his eyes, extremely panicked, "Lu Qian...you said that my brother inherited his mother's estate...Is it true?"
Although the boy is thin, his body is covered with the tender pink that comes from money, and even his fingertips hanging on the edge of the sofa are carefully nurtured and look exceptionally delicate.
Lu Qian squatted beside the sofa and grabbed the drooping hand, with a tired look on his face. "It's true."
Jiang Hanyu bit his lips suddenly.
Lu Qian raised his hand and wiped away the tears on Jiang Hanyu's cheek. "Don't call him brother. He doesn't treat you as his brother at all! Even if he really inherits the property, it will be nothing. Don't be afraid. You will have blood."
Jiang Hanyu gently pulled his hand away, "I'm not afraid. Brother Lu Qian, don't hold my hand, Brother Ruochen will be angry."
Lu Qian sneered, "Why is he angry? He has already given up the engagement in order to inherit the estate!"
Lu Qian thought of Jian Ruochen who had always been chasing after him, and a gloomy look appeared on his face. "From now on, he will never be able to compete with you for anything again."
Jiang Hanyu's tears fell, "Then, then do I no longer have a brother?"
He sobbed, "It doesn't matter... As long as Brother Ruochen is happy, it's fine with me."
Lu Qian was about to comfort her when his cell phone suddenly rang.
Cell phones in the 90s didn’t have a vibration function, and the sudden beep scared Jiang Hanyu so much that he hiccuped.
Lu Qian wanted to comfort Jiang Hanyu first, but when he glanced around, he saw that the caller ID showed the number of Sham Shui Po Police Station. He could only hold Jiang Hanyu's hand and answer the call, "Hello?"
…
"Is Jiang Yongyan suspected of hiring a killer?" Lu Qian stood up suddenly.
Jiang Hanyu pursed his lips and clutched the leather cover of the sofa.
Lu Qian said, "I'll be there right away. Tell him not to say a word. Go get the money from the safe and send away the paparazzi waiting at the door."
On the Li Jin International side.
Jian Ruochen had just climbed onto the bed when Luo Binwen pulled him out from under the quilt.
Butler Luo picked up his wet hair and nagged, "Young Master, let's blow dry your hair before going to bed."
Jian Ruochen was confused, "There is no hair dryer."
Were there hair dryers in the 90s?
"Yes." Luo Binwen combed Jian Ruochen's hair.
He thought that the rent of the young master's previous residence might not be as expensive as a hair dryer, and he could not afford it at all. He felt distressed and said, "There is everything at home."
While helping Jian Ruochen blow dry her hair, Luo Binwen said, "I received news that the media waiting outside the Sham Shui Po Police Station were all sent away by Lu Qian with money."
Jian Ruochen was puzzled, "Where did the news come from?"
So well-informed?
Luo Binwen waved the hair dryer in his hand with skillful movements. "You didn't read the inheritance contract carefully, did you? Conde Nat Times Media Co., Ltd. is one of your properties. You own the world's largest media company."
Jian Ruochen didn't know much about the name, "...Where is its headquarters?"
"Next to Hollywood. Oh, by the way, our branch in Hong Kong is called Polestar Media."
Jian Ruochen: ...What on earth did I inherit?
He pondered for a while, "You just said... Lu Qian used money to get rid of the media?"
"Yes."
Jian Ruochen said meaningfully, "Then let's spread some news and ask the employees of Star Network to stay put."
Luo Binwen understood, "Take pictures of the Jiang family and Lu Qian's ugly behavior, and then print 10,000 copies of newspapers to promote it?"
Jian Ruochen shook his head amid the whirring sound of the hair dryer. "No, we can just pretend. After the first group gets the money from Lu Qian, we'll immediately replace them with another group. Let them bring some fake logos of the rival company. The money they get will be considered a bonus for the brothers, and how much they get depends on their ability."
Luo Binwen: …
Um?
The young master can win the favor of his employees without showing up.
The employees of StarNet received bonuses, but the bonuses came from the pocket of the young master.
If Lu Qian wanted to find trouble with someone afterwards, he would not be able to find the person or would find the wrong person because of the confusion among media logos.
This is a great idea!
The young master is so smart!
Luo Binwen suppressed his smile and said, "Okay, let's do it."
After Jian Ruochen tripped the scumbag, he crawled into bed contentedly.
The down quilt is fluffy and soft, with a fresh and slightly sweet scent. You can sink into it as soon as you close your eyes, as if you are sinking into cotton that has been dried in the sun.
I had a dreamless night and my bones felt so soft when I woke up.
Jian Ruochen glanced at the silent clock on the bedside.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
It was the first time in his life that he got up after eight in the morning. Although it was decadent, it was really nice.
Jian Ruochen washed up and went downstairs.
The entire villa came alive when its owner woke up from his sleep. The dining table downstairs had already been set up. Luo Binwen pulled out a chair and said, "Young Master, this morning, Chai Jinwu's father came here with Chai Jinwu."
Jian Ruochen sat down, not understanding what was going on. "What are they doing here?"
"Mr. Chai came here specially to thank you for helping Chai Jinwu clear his suspicion. I told him you were still sleeping, so he didn't let me wake you up." Luo Binwen placed a thick kraft paper envelope next to Jian Ruochen's hand, "This is a thank-you gift prepared by Mr. Chai."
Jian Ruochen opened it and took a look.
It's filled with brand new Hong Kong dollars, full of sincerity.
Jian Ruochen: ...
Okay, consider it as the commission for solving the case.
He took out half of it and handed it to Luo Binwen, "Thank you for persuading me to inherit the estate and staying up all night with me, Butler Luo, this is your overtime pay for yesterday."
Luo Binwen took the prize money and thought: What a sensible child!
What kind of person would not like him?
Ah... Lu Qian, what a tasteless thing!
Jian Ruochen wiped his hands and ate. After he was full, he picked up the newspaper beside him. This is actually the school newspaper of Hong Kong University.
Luo Binwen is really thoughtful.
In the 1990s, computers were not yet popular and there were no good search engines on computers. The only channels for the general public to obtain information are newspapers and television.
Jian Ruochen scanned the page quickly.
In addition to the news about commending □□ employees, there was another eye-catching report in the newspaper.
[Former FBI officer and elite agent of the BSU Behavioral Science Department, Mr. Li Changyu, will open a "Criminal Behavior and Psychology" department at our school.
This department is affiliated to the School of Social Sciences. It now offers a transfer channel to freshmen. As the first school in Hong Kong to introduce this subject, Hong Kong University will open three consecutive days of lectures on Sunday. If you need to transfer, you can consult the counselor...】
Jian Ruochen turned a page and saw a photo of the mentor taken behind his desk.
Li Changyu is a little old man wearing a striped polo shirt. When taking pictures, his eyes are hidden behind large glasses and his smile is narrowed into slits.
There is a tea tray on his desk.
He seems easy to talk to and makes people like him at first sight.
Jian Ruochen closed the newspaper, turned around and asked Luo Binwen: "What happened yesterday? Did our employees get paid?"
Lu Qian must have bled heavily, right?
Luo Binwen was happy when he thought of the employees' happy smiles. "Nearly 50 people went there in batches, and each of them took 5,000 yuan."
Five thousand in the 90s was pretty good.
But Jian Ruochen still felt it was not enough, "Lu Qian is so stingy."
He snorted, "Go and ask the employees who received the money to publish a report, saying that the paparazzi was bribed. Use a sour tone so that people can tell at a glance that we are particularly jealous."
Luo Binwen looked at him.
Jian Ruochen leaned back in the chair, her long, almost silver-white hair spread out in a loose pattern, her legs crossed with her ankles resting on one side, she looked so beautiful and soft that it made one's heart tremble.
The words that came out of his mouth had nothing to do with warmth and softness.
"Don't say that the money was given by Lu Qian. Let's just write... Jiang Mingshan is suspected of paying the media to protect the suspect."
Lu Qian's original intention was to divert public attention away from the Jiang and Lu families, but now that the fake news that Jiang Mingshan paid the media to spread has been hyped up, the public will surely refocus their attention on the incident itself.
Jiang Yongyan will definitely become the first rift between the Jiang family and the Lu family.
The murder case in the grove at Hong Kong University has been solved.
Jiang Yongyan was imprisoned.
As long as you change your major, your life will be back on track.
It is the end of the semester now. Jian Ruochen had never studied medicine in his previous life, nor did he inherit the original owner's memories. If he returns to the medical school to take the final exam, he will definitely drop from the first place in the grade to the last place.
It’s unacceptable just thinking about it!
I will visit Li Changyu tomorrow to see if I can change my major through my advisor!
Jian Ruochen rested for a day and got up early the next day. She found a set of clothes that seemed to suit her elders best in a cloakroom that was as big as a ZARA store, and went out wearing a goose yellow scarf.
He first went to the boutique tea shop in the mall and picked out a reasonably priced handmade tea pet, Little Persimmon, then carried the gift bag and walked towards Hong Kong University, asking directions whenever he met anyone along the way.
Finally at nine o'clock, I found the office assigned to Teacher Li Changyu by the School of Social Sciences.
Jian Ruochen felt a little hot from walking, so she raised her hand to pull the scarf around her neck a little looser, then knocked on the door of Li Changyu's office.
After three knocks, the door opened.
Jian Ruochen raised his eyes, but before he could even smile, he met a pair of cold eyes, "...Sir Guan?"
Why is this person here?
Guan Yingjun hummed indifferently, looked at his red nose, moved aside a little, and said, "Come in."
The warmth in the room suddenly spread out from the door.
Jian Ruochen walked in, took off her scarf, looked towards the desk, and called out, "Hello, Teacher Li."
I haven't seen the person behind the desk yet.
Jian Ruochen first saw the image on the white screen on the side.
——It’s the video of him interrogating Huo Jinze!
