Chapter 25 True and False Jiang Le
Today, Jiang Le was meeting with none other than Lin Yueying, the eldest daughter of the Lin family. They had played a round of golf and were now chatting in the lounge.
"Mr. Jiang looks good today. Did you have a romantic encounter yesterday?" Lin Yueying teased her with a smile.
Jiang Le leaned back on the sofa, his fingertips tapping the armrest irregularly. He was a little distracted, but his mouth responded spontaneously: "Hmm."
Thinking he wouldn't get a reply, Lin Yueying was about to get up and go fight again, but he got a positive answer. He was surprised and laughed, "Oh, the iron tree has blossomed."
Coming back to his senses, Jiang Le drank a sip of water calmly and said calmly: "It's normal. Shouldn't I be in a relationship at my age?"
Lin Yueying curled her lips and said, "I thought people like us would be single for most of our lives, and then pick someone we like and get married immediately."
Jiang Le raised his eyebrows, put down the cup, and retorted with a raised lip: "I'm sorry, that's you. My lover loves me very much."
"You two are just dating, and you're already 'lovers'?" Lin Yueying rolled her eyes gracefully.
"It's not true actually. We have been together for a long time and I am not a casual person." Jiang Le said seriously.
"Then why didn't you come out together today? It's just the two of us meeting, and it's not a formal occasion. It would be more lively with more people."
Jiang Le touched his chin, looking somewhat embarrassed as he said, "Today...it's not very convenient."
Lin Yueying seemed to have thought of something and raised her hands in surrender, "I'm here to play basketball, not to watch you show off your affection!"
Jiang Le saw that she seemed to have misunderstood something, but he nodded with some regret. "Since we're not going to talk about this, why don't we talk about the Lin family's attitude towards you and Lin Zhen. As a partner, I think I have the right to know who will contact me next."
"Oh, what qualifications does a younger brother who values feelings more than family property have to compete with me?" Lin Yueying crossed his legs and lay back with a relaxed body.
Jiang Le raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Oh? That's hard to say. He can put feelings behind the family property now, but in the future he might even compete with you for the family property for some kind of love."
"Tsk, Mr. Jiang also likes to watch this kind of soap opera? Don't worry, he won't be able to achieve anything with me here." Lin Yueying waved her hand, paused for a moment, and then sat up suddenly. "Hey, why do you seem to have such a strong opinion about my brother? What's wrong? Is there a grudge? Or did he offend you in some way? If so, that's great."
Jiang Le rubbed his fingers and said in a low mood: "Well, it is indeed a bit contradictory."
"How did I offend you?" Lin Yueying asked curiously with shining eyes.
Seeing that Jiang Le still refused to talk, she revealed all of her brother's past. "A few years ago, he insisted on marrying the girl he brought back from abroad. When the old man disagreed, he cried, made a scene, and even threatened to hang himself. Isn't that hilarious? Hahaha! It's a pity that I was abroad at the time and didn't witness it, otherwise I would have taken a picture of him as a souvenir!"
Jiang Le listened with great interest, "Then what? Why was there no movement?"
Lin Yueying became excited. He sat up straight, patted his chest, and said in a clear voice: "I have seen that girl. She is a poor creature. How could my Lin family do such a thing? I secretly let her go."
"He's missing. My silly brother has been crazy for a few days, but now he has a new love. This time, I see that both sides are willing to fight and suffer, so I don't bother to care."
Jiang Le smiled without saying anything, but his mind was clear as a mirror. Lin Yueying's strategy was quite clever. First, he used this trick to make Lin Zhen lose his composure in front of the old man, causing unrest in the Lin family and losing their support. Then, he made people think that he was just a fool trapped by love and would never achieve great things.
But so what? She was happy to continue interacting with Lin Yueying in the future.
As Lin Yueying said, their meeting was just a formality, and the cooperation was almost settled when they knew that the other party was in charge.
After the meeting, Jiang Le went to the Taipei branch and took a tour under the surprised eyes of the employees. He occasionally gave some instructions and then left with a calm expression as if nothing had happened.
"What's wrong with Director Jiang? Why did he come to inspect suddenly?" someone whispered.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's curiosity was instantly ignited. Everyone gathered together, holding their phones and whispering to each other.
[I think this is unusual...]
[How do you say it? Tell me quickly!]
[Director Jiang rarely shows up in public, but when he does…]
[What's going on?! Don't keep me in suspense!]
The man took a deep breath and said mysteriously, "Once we show up, we'll have to breathe like crazy! We'll get some good fortune! We'll take over Director Jiang's career luck!"
Afterwards, the company chat room exploded with a flurry of comments like, "Take advantage of the wealth and good fortune! Receive Director Jiang's business luck!" flooding the screen.
There was no way around it. Since Jiang Le took office, he had always been successful at the negotiation table and had never been defeated. The company's development was also smooth. He had long become a "myth" in the hearts of many people in the group and had attracted many fanatical fans.
[So, is there anyone who can analyze Director Jiang's strange behavior today?]
"I feel like Director Jiang seems to be covered in pink bubbles today..."
Of course, this unique analysis was instantly drowned out by the noise of conversation and soon disappeared without a trace.
When Jiang Le returned to the villa, a certain person who called herself "Canary" was lying on the sofa, bored and asleep. The TV was still showing the company's new product launch from a few days ago. On the screen, she was standing on the stage, clearly demonstrating the product details.
She stopped and looked at it for a few seconds before turning off the TV. She patted Jiang Congyue's shoulder and said calmly, "Get up."
Jiang Congyue, who was half asleep, grabbed Jiang Le with her big hand and pressed him to her side. Before she even opened her eyes, she said frivolously, "I'm Sleeping Beauty. I need a kiss from true love to wake me up."
As he spoke, he pouted his lips high, waiting for the other person to give him the "kiss of true love".
江乐眉头抽搐，一巴掌按在她欠揍的脸上，没好气地冷声道：“爱起不起。”
How could someone use his or her face to make such a heartless expression?
Jiang Congyue smiled and opened his eyes, then pressed her neck and moved closer to her. He gave her a loud, "Baji" sound, "Okay, if the mountain doesn't belong to me, I'll take the mountain. I'll do it myself."
Jiang Le was kissed again unexpectedly, and his lips became even straighter. It was hard to tell whether the expression on his face was disgust or annoyance.
Before the person could get angry, Jiang Congyue kindly let him go, jumped up, and stretched comfortably. "Well, I had a good sleep."
Jiang Le glanced at Jiang Congyue, then walked past her and went to the study.
The days passed peacefully, but both of them knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
On the tenth day that Jiang Congyue was "locked" in the villa, she was fiddling with something in the kitchen as usual, while Jiang Le sat on the sofa, concentrating on handling official business without looking around.
Until the doorbell rang, both of them stopped what they were doing.
But the doorbell only rang symbolically, and the next second the door was opened.
Li Yan, looking exhausted, rushed in carrying a suitcase. Just as he was about to happily shout "Surprise!", he was frightened by the scene in the room and froze in place.
She rubbed her eyes fiercely and took off the mask and sunglasses that were in the way. Her two round almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened. She pointed at the two of them and stammered, "You...you...I...I'm not awake yet?"
Poor Li, the star who had been traveling for a whole day and night, almost fainted. The other two looked at each other, obviously not expecting Li Yan to suddenly appear here.
Jiang Le slammed his laptop shut, held his forehead in frustration, and was about to stand up to explain something when someone beat him to it.
"Oh, it's the big star Li. How come you have time to come to see me?" Jiang Congyue took off the thick baking gloves in her hands and smiled very gently.
This frightened Li Yan so much that he couldn't bear to look straight at them. He darted his eyes back and forth between the two of them and said blankly, "I did go to Y City and eat some mushrooms, but I didn't have such a weird hallucination..."
Is this episode about the real and fake Jiang Le?!
And when had Jiang Le ever smiled at her like that? The calm person standing on the sofa looked like the real deal. She immediately ran over and said to Jiang Le in horror, "It's over, Jiang Le, this place is not clean!"
Hearing this, Jiang Le looked puzzled, "Why?"
"Don't you see there's a ghost behind you that looks exactly like you!" Li Yan subconsciously raised his voice, then deliberately suppressed it.
Then, loud laughter came from behind them. Li Yan hugged Jiang Le with horror and made a sharp explosion: "Ah!——"
Jiang Congyue's evil teasing instinct was instantly aroused. He quietly approached her, patted her shoulder, and whispered softly, "Li Yan~Li Yan~"
"Ah!!!" Li Yan collapsed and hugged Jiang Le tightly, kicking his feet wildly.
So, Jiang Le was kicked several times by mistake. She gritted her teeth, covered Jiang Congyue's mouth with one hand, and pushed Li Yan away with the other. Then, without looking back, she turned around and went upstairs with her notebook in her arms.
Only the panicked Li Yan and the interested Jiang Congyue were left in the same room.
Li Yan bravely stared at Jiang Congyue who kept making faces. He seemed to have figured out some familiar feelings from her actions, and frantically searched in his mind where this familiar feeling came from.
After Jiang Congyue smiled and rubbed her head, Li Yan suddenly realized something and pointed at Jiang Congyue, unable to speak clearly: "You, you are... Aunt Jiang?"
How is this possible? Li Yan bit her tongue. How could she come up with such a guess?
But what if? After all, who can say for sure if reincarnation actually happens?
But how come she looks exactly like Jiang Le?
A mess of thoughts instantly filled her mind, turning it into a tangled mess.
Jiang Congyue couldn't bear it anymore and rubbed her face. "Hey, don't think about it. You're not smart to begin with. Don't let your brain get damaged. It's just that I, your Aunt Jiang, have come back to life. This is normal, isn't it?"
Li Yan was horrified at first, then confused, and finally shocked and excited. The rising spirit in his body could no longer be suppressed: "Ah! Is this true? How did you do that? What does it look like when a person dies? Then do you know any spells? Magic? Or..."
Li Yan, who has filmed more than a dozen fantasy dramas of varying sizes, has a very good acceptance rate and can be said to believe and understand at the speed of light.
Jiang Congyue stroked his chin, the smile in his eyes deepening. After all these years, this kid was still the easiest to fool.
