Chapter 90 You Go Out with Him First
Although he said he would not mention it again, he was a little suspicious in his heart. Why did he keep the room when no one was there?
At this moment, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.
Gu Baozhu took out her cell phone, glanced at Jiang Yanbai, and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, uncle."
Jiang Dongwei's majestic voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Baozhu, didn't you agree to come over for dinner with Yanbai today? Why haven't you arrived yet?"
Gu Baozhu immediately put on an annoyed expression and looked at Jiang Yanbai again, her voice full of apology.
"I'm sorry, uncle. Yanbai has a lot of things to do at his company, and we forgot about this once we were busy."
She lightly put the blame on Jiang Yanbai.
Jiang Dongwei seemed to smile.
"It's a good thing for young people to be busy with their careers."
"But it's not too late now. Bring Yanbai with you and come here immediately."
This is exactly what Gu Baozhu wanted.
The smile on her face deepened, and she agreed without even looking at the man next to her.
"OK!"
"Uncle, please wait. I'll take Yanbai with me right away!"
Gu Baozhu put away her phone and looked up at Jiang Yanbai, her pretty face full of innocence.
"My uncle asked us to go over tonight, but I forgot."
Her eyes were pitiful.
"He just called to urge me, and you heard it."
"I've already agreed."
Jiang Yanbai didn't say anything.
Seeing that he didn't move, Gu Baozhu moved forward again and spoke in a cheerful tone.
"Let's go, uncle means well. We just want to have a meal and chat about family matters."
Jiang Yan didn't even lift his eyelids, and the words he uttered were as cold as ice.
"You promised it yourself, go by yourself."
"Just say I'm busy."
Gu Baozhu's smile froze on her face, but only for a moment.
She reached out, wrapped her soft fingers around his hard forearm, and shook it gently.
"If I go alone, my uncle will definitely ask me a lot of questions."
"The relationship between you and your uncle was not good to begin with. Now that you have the opportunity, shouldn't you..."
Her words were to the point, and every word hit the spot that Jiang Yanbai hated the most.
"No."
Two words, firm and decisive.
Gu Baozhu's heart sank, and she felt an inexplicable uneasiness.
She bit her lip.
"Actually...this time, my uncle asked me to call you over because he has something else he wants to discuss with you."
"But he didn't tell me what it was."
Jiang Yanbai's eyelashes, which had been drooping, finally moved.
He turned his head, and his deep black eyes suddenly locked onto her.
"What's up?"
Gu Baozhu looked increasingly embarrassed.
"I really don't know. He didn't tell me."
"Let's go back and take a look."
"Whatever it is, it's better to talk about it in person than to guess here."
That old fox.
What are you planning again?
Jiang Yanbai sneered in his heart.
Jiang Dongwei never does meaningless things. He specifically asked Gu Baozhu to pass on the message, but he didn't make it clear. He must have some ulterior motive.
Is it about Jiang’s equity?
Or do you want to make a fuss about his so-called mother again?
Either way, he had to go.
He cannot tolerate any variables that are out of control.
Jiang Yanbai withdrew his gaze, but the coldness around him did not dissipate at all.
He spoke indifferently, turned around and strode out the door.
"Okay, go back."
…
The Jiang family's old house.
In the living room, the light from the crystal chandelier poured down coldly.
Jiang Dongwei sat alone on the leather sofa in the main seat, holding a cup of cold tea in his hand, his face even colder than the tea.
Hearing footsteps, he raised his eyes.
"Why are you back now?"
Jiang Yanbai took off his coat, handed it to the servant beside him, walked over calmly, and sat down on the sofa opposite.
His posture was gentle, but his tone was distant.
"Something at the company was delayed."
"I heard from Baozhu that you have something to talk to me about."
He got straight to the point, not wanting to waste a single moment.
Before Jiang Dongwei could speak, a frivolous and obviously hostile voice came from the spiral staircase on the second floor.
"What's wrong? Dad, can't I come to you if nothing happens?"
Jiang Jinnian, wearing a flashy burgundy silk pajamas, walked down slowly, his eyes glued to Jiang Yanbai, full of disdain.
"Look at your attitude now."
“Don’t think you’re great just because you have your own company.”
"You should be more respectful in front of Dad."
Gu Baozhu's smile froze, and she immediately took a step forward, softly standing between the two of them.
"Jinnian, you misunderstood your brother. He was just too busy at the company and asked casually."
Her voice is gentle and charming.
Jiang Jinnian sneered and shook the red wine glass in his hand.
He glanced at Gu Baozhu with undisguised contempt in his eyes.
"I'm talking to my brother, do you have the right to interrupt?"
"Don't think you can call the shots in this family just because Dad is backing you up."
"Just an outsider."
Every word is heart-wrenching.
Gu Baozhu's face turned pale instantly, and her fingers tightly clenched the corner of her clothes.
"That's enough."
Sitting in the main seat, Jiang Dongwei finally spoke. His voice was not loud, but it carried an irresistible majesty.
He glanced coldly at his youngest son.
"It's becoming more and more unruly."
"Baozhu will soon be your sister-in-law. Take her for a walk in the backyard so she can get familiar with the environment."
Jiang Jinnian curled his lips and put down the wine glass reluctantly.
"Dad, if you guys want to talk about serious matters, I want to listen too."
Jiang Dongwei glanced over, his eyes as cold as a knife.
"Some things, do you understand?"
With just one sentence, all of Jiang Jinnian's arguments were blocked in his throat.
Jiang Jinnian felt a tightness in his chest, and finally stood up from the sofa unwillingly, glaring at his father in grievance.
He turned to Gu Baozhu and spoke in a perfunctory tone.
"Let's go."
"I'll take you for a walk. The father and son have something to talk about in private."
Gu Baozhu looked at Jiang Yanbai as if asking for help, with reluctance in her eyes.
She didn't want to go out with this idiot.
She didn't want Jiang Yanbai and Jiang Dongwei to be alone together.
Jiang Yanbai just lowered his eyes, not seeing her gaze, and had no intention of helping her out.
Jiang Dongwei's voice sounded again, this time, it was directed to Jiang Yanbai.
"Yan Bai, please stay. This matter is of great importance and we must discuss it carefully."
Then, he turned his gaze to Gu Baozhu and his tone softened a lot.
"Baozhu, go out with Jinnian first."
"After we finish discussing the important matters, we'll discuss your wedding date when you come back."
Wedding date.
These two words were like a reassurance, instantly calming all of Gu Baozhu's anxieties.
The haze in her heart was swept away, and a decent and generous smile appeared on her face again.
She walked to Jiang Yanbai and gently straightened his already neat collar.
"Then have a good chat with Dad, and don't get angry about work."
"Jinnian and I will go out for a walk and be back soon."
