Licking Dog 6
Chapter 6
As soon as Mr. Jiang left, Jiang Yi approached Yu Rubing. His handsome face always had a proper smile on it. He slowly said, "Sister, long time no see."
Yu Rubing guessed his identity, but still asked, "Are you Jiang Yi?"
Hearing Yu Rubing ask this, Jiang Yi's eyes widened a little, and his tone sounded quite excited; "Sister, do you still remember me?"
Yu Rubing nodded with a smile, but thought to herself, of course I don’t remember.
Jiang Yi went to study abroad in junior high school, and the original owner's eyes were full of Jiang Li. She had some impression of this little brother, but it was as vague as it could be.
But even if he didn't remember, he couldn't tell the truth, so Yu Rubing changed the subject and asked, "You've changed so much?"
Jiang Yi was even happier. This was what he thought in his heart. Yu Rubing said this because she remembered what he looked like in the past and came to this conclusion after comparing it with the present.
"Probably!" Jiang Yi raised his hand to signal them to walk and talk, as if he had made up his mind to chat with Yu Rubing often: "Sister has changed a lot too. She's even more beautiful now than she was back then."
Everyone likes to hear good words, and Yu Rubing liked Jiang Yi even more.
Jiang Yi is actually not bad.
Although Jiang Li is generally recognized as the most capable and handsome man in the Jiang family, one cannot tell by looking at himself that Jiang Yi's facial features are more delicate. Although he is slightly more immature than Jiang Li, he may surpass Jiang Li in a few years.
As for ability, with the platform provided by the Jiang family, even a pig can fly if it stands on the right track, not to mention the support of the original owner.
The two were walking and chatting, and before they knew it, Jiang Lizhao with a dark face walked towards them.
When Jiang Li saw Yu Rubing and Jiang Yi chatting happily, his already gloomy face became even gloomier.
After all, the younger brother had just returned home, and the older brother didn't show any affection at all. His tone was cold and even a little blaming: "Why are you here?"
Jiang Yi seemed to be more of a brother than Jiang Li, and he told Jiang Li generously: "Grandpa asked me to accompany my sister. After all, it would be boring for my sister if my brother is not with her."
After hearing Jiang Yi's explanation, Jiang Li didn't feel that his brother was sharing his worries. Instead, his brows furrowed even more tightly, and his tone became even more hostile: "You are the protagonist of the banquet today. You should go to entertain the guests. How can you be lazy if you just do it?"
The way Jiang Li disciplined his younger brother seemed even more merciless than a father disciplining his son.
No wonder!
Among the brothers of this generation in the Jiang family, Jiang Li is the most favored by Grandpa Jiang. He holds all the power of the company, and it is normal for him to order his brothers and sisters around.
Not only this younger brother, he also has a bad attitude towards his two older brothers. Relying on Grandpa Jiang's exclusive favor, his brothers and sisters dare not speak out against him.
Seeing Jiang Li being so rude, Jiang Yi didn't get angry. He just told Jiang Li, "Then brother, please stay with sister. Grandpa and I will take care of the guests coming home."
Hearing Jiang Yi's instructions, Jiang Li's brows knitted together, his expression filled with impatience: "You don't need to teach me how to do things, I know how to do them. You've been abroad for too long, and it's time you remembered it. What should I say when I get home?"
Jiang Yi didn't argue with Jiang Li. He just smiled generously and turned to Yu Rubing and said, "Sister, I'm going to go do something first. I'll talk to you later."
Yu Rubing smiled and nodded, "Go ahead and get busy!"
Jiang Li glared at Jiang Yi with disgust as he walked away. He turned around and asked Yu Rubing unhappily, "What were you talking about just now?"
Yu Rubing found it amusing. Who did he think he was? How dare he question her like that? "That was our private conversation. Who are you to us? Am I obligated to tell you?"
Yu Rubing said this, and Jiang Yi got angry as expected. "Yu Rubing, even if you want to throw a tantrum, there should be a limit, right? I can't tolerate you forever."
Yu Rubing figured it out. This guy dared to be so arrogant because he obviously still regarded himself as the original owner.
If the original owner heard him questioning like this, he would probably be overjoyed and would think that Jiang Li asked this because he cared about him.
Yu Rubing told Jiang Li plainly, "I don't need your tolerance, and I have no obligation to tolerate you either. I came to the Jiang family today because I didn't want to make Grandpa Jiang sad. It has nothing to do with you. If you know what's good for you, don't show up in front of me anymore."
Yu Rubing leaned closer to Jiang Li and told him word by word, "I don't want to see you. Seeing your face makes me upset."
Jiang Li was clearly overwhelmed by Yu Rubing's words. He burst into laughter out of anger. "Yu Rubing, remember this clearly. You were the one who said this. Don't complain to this old man."
Jiang Yi threw down these words and left like a gust of wind.
Yu Rubing cursed in her heart: I don’t want to bother with you!
The Jiang family was a wealthy family and had invited quite a few guests. All the Jiang family members were present and standing in the luxurious living room to entertain their relatives and friends.
Old Master Jiang was sitting in the main seat, and standing next to him were not Jiang Li's uncle and aunt, but Jiang Li's parents. Jiang Li was standing next to his parents, and the rest of the Jiang family members were standing around the three of them.
Jiang Lide was valued by old man, and even his parents benefited from it, while the other members of the Jiang family could only feel angry in secret.
After a while, the banquet began.
The chef selected from City A was invited to cook, and the Jiang family’s hall was large enough to accommodate all the guests.
After the meal started, the Jiang family members sat at a table alone. Old Master Jiang specifically instructed that Yu Rubing sit at the same table with the Jiang family members.
When Yu Rubing walked over, there was an empty seat next to Jiang Li. Jiang's mother warmly greeted him from a distance: "Bingbing, come here, sit next to Jiang Li. Jiang Li can get you whatever you want to eat."
Jiang's father also said, "Yes, Bingbing, just sit next to Jiang Li!"
In the minds of Yu's father and mother, Yu Rubing had long been their future daughter-in-law, so of course they seemed as familiar with her as one of their own.
In the past, the original owner would have done the same, needless to say.
Yu Rubing looked at Jiang Li's face, which was as cold and hard as a slab of stone. She lost her appetite just by looking at it.
Yu Rubing must be upset and would sit next to him.
She smiled politely at Jiang's mother and said, "I'd better sit next to Grandpa. I prefer sitting with Grandpa."
Yu Rubing didn't say anything more and sat down next to Mr. Jiang.
Yu's mother's smile froze for a moment, and Yu's father's face also froze. They had known Yu Rubing for such a long time, and today was the first time that Yu Rubing refused to get close to Jiang Li.
A hint of anger flashed across Jiang Li's face, but he quickly suppressed it.
The faces of the other members of the Jiang family also had their own strange expressions. Old Master Jiang saw it, but he still said cheerfully: "Let Bingbing sit next to me. This little girl really likes people."
Jiang's mother smiled and said, "Bingbing can sit wherever she wants."
Everyone joined the banquet, and delicacies were served one after another. The Jiang family has always had strict rules, and the younger generations did not dare to speak before the elders. Apart from the voice of Grandpa Jiang, the only words left at the dinner table were what Yu Rubing said.
The grandfather and grandson were chatting with each other, and it was they who kept the atmosphere lively.
Jiang Yi would occasionally say a few words, and when Grandpa Jiang heard him speak, he would occasionally nod in agreement. It was obvious that he had a good impression of this grandson.
Mother Jiang looked at the three people talking. Yu Rubing and Jiang Yi sat on either side of the old man, and the three of them were talking and laughing. She felt very unhappy.
Looking at Jiang Li again, he had a sour face, as if someone had provoked him. Just now, when Yu Rubing wanted to change seats, he was indifferent, and now he didn't even bother to say a word.
If someone who doesn’t know sees this, they might think Jiang Yi and Yu Rubing are a couple?
What does it look like?
The more Jiang's mother watched, the more unhappy she felt. She simply interrupted the three people's conversation: "Bingbing! Don't go back tonight. There are many empty rooms at home. Why don't you stay here tonight?"
He glanced at Jiang Li again and said, "Let Jiang Li take you there later."
Yu Rubing simply replied, "Thank you, Auntie! If I don't go back, Mom and Dad will be worried, and I'm not used to a strange bed, so it's better for me to go back."
"Is that so?" Jiang's mother still had a smile on her face, but it was no longer as natural. Yu Rubing would never refuse this request before. "Then go back and live there. Come over often when you have time!"
Yu Rubing smiled and looked at Grandpa Jiang, "I promised Grandpa that I will come to visit you often in the future."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang's mother felt even gloomier. It wasn't for Jiang Li, but to come to see her more often?
Yu Rubing's unusual behavior made Jiang's mother even more uneasy. "Jiang Li told his father a while ago that there was a problem with the land he bought in City C last time. Thanks to you and your father's help, otherwise Jiang Li would have had a very difficult time dealing with it."
Yu Rubing smiled faintly, not showing any pride or arrogance. Her attitude was slightly distant. "Auntie, you're joking. The project's problems were properly resolved thanks to Mr. Jiang's extraordinary talent. My father didn't help much."
As soon as the words "Mr. Jiang" came out of Yu Rubing's mouth, the expressions of all the Jiang family members changed immediately. Jiang's mother seemed to be choked, and Jiang Li's expression became extremely ugly.
Old Master Jiang also put away the smile on his face, put the chopsticks back on the table, and looked at Jiang Li deeply.
Jiang Li's face twitched immediately. Although Mr. Jiang didn't say a word, his dissatisfaction was written on his face.
The Jiang family members held their breath, and Jiang Li lost his temper. "Yu Rubing, let's handle our affairs privately. Don't bring your emotions here. This isn't the right place for sarcastic remarks."
Yu Rubing had no intention of giving in to him and immediately retorted, "I'm not being sarcastic. I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. Mr. Jiang's business is flourishing, and I can't take all the credit for it, can I?"
Jiang Li clenched his fists on his thighs. He wondered if Yu Rubing had gone crazy. She had been having an attack since that night, and now she was embarrassing him in front of the whole family?
He really didn't want to put up with this woman anymore, but now his mind told him not to lose his temper. "My uncle has been very kind to me in business, and I've always remembered that. I'll come to thank you someday."
Come to thank in person?
Yu Rubing thought to herself, you'd better forget about it, my dad doesn't want to see you.
Jiang's mother also jumped out to ease the atmosphere, "Yes, Bingbing, you don't know, Jiang Li often said privately that if it weren't for your father's help, who knows how much trouble we would have been in."
Jiang's mother glanced at Jiang Li with another reproachful look. "This child has a very soft heart and knows how to be grateful, but he's too hard-mouthed and can't say soft words."
Soft-hearted? Grateful?
He targeted the original owner's family, but you couldn't see that he was soft-hearted at all.
Doesn’t she know what breed her own child is?
Yu Rubing certainly wouldn't go along with Jiang's mother's words. She smiled and said nonchalantly, "Auntie, you're worrying too much. It doesn't matter whether he's grateful or not. My dad won't do meaningless things again."
Yu Rubing has never said such harsh words!
The smile on Jiang's mother's face faded. It was more embarrassing than crying. Her voice became a little sharp due to nervousness. "How can this be called meaningless?"
"You and Jiang Li will succeed sooner or later. Your father is helping Jiang Li, isn't he helping his own family?"
The more Jiang's mother listened, the more uneasy she felt. Yu Rubing, who had always been gentle and well-behaved, always agreed with Jiang Li. Even if Jiang Li said something unpleasant, even if Jiang Li didn't give her a good look, Yu Rubing never complained to them.
But today, Yu Rubing seemed like a different person. Her cold and distant attitude made her feel that she wanted to break up with Jiang Li.
Yu Rubing was waiting for you to say this when she heard Jiang's mother say this. She had long wanted to explain this unnecessary misunderstanding in front of the Jiang family.
Yu Rubing looked at Jiang's mother calmly, her tone even more steady, not giving the impression that she was angry at all: "Auntie! You can't say things like that! Jiang Li and I are not engaged, nor are we in a romantic relationship. I liked to stick with him when we were little, but that was just friendship, and friends don't have to be lifelong."
"The reason I want to come to the Jiang family..." Yu Rubing looked at Grandpa Jiang, like a granddaughter looking at her own grandfather, "is because Grandpa Jiang treats me like his own granddaughter. I like Grandpa Jiang, so I like coming to the Jiang family."
