Chapter 259: Chapter 259

259: Chapter 259: Confession Rejected 259: Chapter 259: Confession Rejected Jiang You spoke, a bit overly excited, and before Jiang Feng could respond, she started heading towards the direction of the hot spring pool.

Her sister-in-law was working outside and wasn’t home; being the younger sister-in-law, she definitely had a responsibility to keep an eye on her brother for her.

Although she also knew her brother wasn’t the type to fool around, she did not trust others.

“Miss, you misunderstood, Master was just with the Young Madam…”

Before Jiang Feng could finish speaking, Jiang You had already disappeared like a gust of wind.

Seeing this, he hurriedly followed her.

“Miss, listen to me.”

Jiang You’s assistant, who had come along, also quickly followed upon seeing this.

Jiang You’s career in entertainment had just started, if someone happened to take an unflattering photo of her, Ms.

Qing would certainly give her an earful later.

Just as Jiang You was hurrying along, she suddenly bumped into someone.

“What the heck is this, it’s so rigid!”

She voiced her complaint, rubbing her forehead that was hurt from the bump.

The man looked down at her with a smile, “You girl, you’re all grown up, how can you still be so reckless?”

Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang You suddenly looked up and saw Gu Beiyan’s somewhat enchanting face.

“Why are you here?” she asked.

Gu Beiyan responded, “What are you talking about?

This is my place, why can’t I be here?”

He had just finished a meeting and heard that Jiang Yan was here for a hot spring bath, initially planning to find him when he unexpectedly ran into Jiang You around the corner.

After catching up, Jiang Feng saw Gu Beiyan and respectfully called out.

Gu Beiyan glanced at him, nodded, and asked, “What’s going on here?”

He was asking about why Jiang You looked like she was on a mission to catch a cheater.

Jiang Feng explained, “Miss misunderstood Master; right now the Young Madam is with Master in the hot spring pool, no one else is there.”

With this explanation, Gu Beiyan understood, realizing she came to defend her sister-in-law’s position.

Jiang You exclaimed, “What?

My sister-in-law is back?

When did she come back?

How come I didn’t know?”

Jiang Feng coughed lightly and said, “The Young Madam just returned today.

The news of the Young Madam’s return was not told to anyone, and even Master only just found out.”

Gu Beiyan’s shrewd almond eyes slightly squinted, revealing a gossip-hungry expression, “Oh, sister-in-law is giving Jiang Yan a surprise then, this couple sure knows how to have fun.”

Jiang Feng pursed his lips and didn’t join in the conversation.

Hearing that Su He was back, Jiang You was no longer as worried.

Gu Beiyan’s lips curled up slightly, looking at Jiang You mischievously, “Xiao Youzi, if I hadn’t stopped you just now, you might have ended up watching a blockbuster.”

Jiang You did not immediately understand the meaning of “blockbuster” in his words.

Could there be movies showing in the hot spring pool?”

She tilted her head, looking at him, and asked in confusion.

Gu Beiyan laughed, then stretched out an arm, wrapped it around her shoulder, and whispered in her ear, “Just think, a man and a woman alone, they are husband and wife, haven’t seen each other in so long, what could they possibly be doing inside?

You really think they’re just soaking peacefully?

You still don’t believe you’re just a naive girl.”

Though his words were whispered, the other two present heard him.

Jiang Feng silently stood there, not daring to speak; Mr.

Gu really did enjoy teasing the Miss.

And the assistant, upon seeing Jiang You being embraced by a strange, handsome man, was completely stunned, not knowing what to do.

Even if Jiang You was naive and simple, she understood the implied meaning of his words—it was just about that thing between a man and a woman!

But why did she feel her cheeks heating up?

But she couldn’t lose face in front of Gu Beiyan, since he always called her young and claimed she understood nothing!

She glared at him, then snorted coldly, saying, “Who told you I don’t understand?

I understand too well, it’s not like it’s my first rodeo.”

Gu Beiyan paused slightly, his brows raised slightly, his gaze deeply fixed on her, “You’ve experienced?

Jiang You pulled his hand away and pushed him aside, saying, “This is my private matter, not convenient to reveal.

I am going to soak in the hot spring now, don’t block my way.”

After Jiang You finished speaking, she bumped into him, then left.

The assistant quickly followed her.

Gu Beiyan watched her leave, raised an eyebrow, and curiously asked Jiang Feng, “Did that girl get a boyfriend?”

Jiang Feng was stunned, then answered, “Mr.

Gu, as far as I know, the second young miss did not have a boyfriend before, but…”

“But what?” Gu Beiyan asked.

Jiang Feng said, “I’ve been too busy lately, I haven’t had time to pay attention to the second young miss’s affairs, so I don’t know if she currently has a boyfriend now.”

The affairs of the second young miss were under the Master’s arrangement; important matters were communicated to him, then relayed to the Master.

However, recently, he’d been busy with company matters and hadn’t paid much attention to this.

As long as the young miss was not in mortal danger, that was enough.

Just as Gu Beiyan was about to leave, Jiang Feng added, “However, I do know that the second young miss likes someone.”

A gleam passed through Gu Beiyan’s profound eyes, his lips parted slightly, with a gossipy tone he asked, “Oh?

Jiang Feng said, “This person is known to the Young Madam as well, the captain of the criminal police, Xing Siyang, seems to be a member of the Xing Family of Beijing.

I remember once the young miss used the excuse of shooting to go to Beijing, and she often went to see this young master Xing…”

After hearing this, Gu Beiyan nodded, “Okay, got it.”

Su He soaked in the hot spring pool and gradually fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already 7 in the evening.

It was already dark outside, and it was drizzling.

She got out of bed and sized up the unfamiliar room, which was decorated a bit like a guesthouse.

The room’s door was opened from the inside, and sitting in the living room, Jiang You looked up upon hearing the noise.

“Sister-in-law, you’re awake?” Jiang You called out to her.

Su He, on seeing her, paused and asked, “What are you doing here too?”

Jiang You waved at her, “Come come come, have a seat.”

As she spoke, she got up and pulled her to sit down.

Jiang You said, “My brother and Beiyan went out for business, he asked me to wait here for you to wake up, then take you out for dinner.”

“The reason I am here is because I was coincidentally taking shots in this area today, finished work and stayed to soak in the hot spring before heading back.

Then I heard you were back, and it so happened that my brother was also here, so I decided not to go back.”

While talking, Jiang You hugged her arm, resting her head on Su He’s shoulder.

Su He looked down at her and asked, “What’s wrong?

Her mood changed quite quickly, it would be hard for Su He not to notice.

Jiang You glanced sideways, pouting slightly, “Sister-in-law, how did you notice I’m troubled?

I haven’t even said anything.”

Su He joked, “Did you forget I have the Mind Reading Technique?”

Jiang You pouted her lips, “While you were asleep, I was with my biological brother for more than an hour, and he didn’t notice anything amiss.”

Su He laughed, “Men are generally careless.”

Jiang You hugged her arm tighter, her mood seeming to plummet all at once.

She took a deep breath and said four words: “I got dumped.”

Su He let out a puzzled “Ah” and then asked, “When did you and Siyang start dating?”

Jiang You replied, “We are not together.”

Su He, confused, said, “Then what love are you mourning?”

“To be precise, my love ended before it even started,” Jiang You explained.

“I confessed to Siyang three days ago, and he rejected me.”

She seemed not too surprised by the outcome.

She raised her hand and gently patted her head, consoling her, “There are millions of men out there; don’t let yourself be hung up on just this one.

There’s no need to be sad.”

Just as she was worried Jiang You might overthink things, she heard her say, “I’m not sad.

I just feel like a bit of a failure, I couldn’t win over Siyang, it’s a pity.

I just wonder who will end up with him.”

“Although I do like Siyang a lot, as the saying goes, a melon forced off its vine is not sweet.

I’m not the kind of person who coerces others.

Since there’s no fate to be lovers, let’s just be siblings.

It’s quite nice to have an extra handsome brother.”

Su He was momentarily speechless: “…”

It seemed her worries were indeed superfluous; she always knew Jiang You had a big heart, but she didn’t expect her to be so clear-headed about this as well.

Honestly, this kind of personality is really great, able to let go when necessary.

Su He sighed, “Alright, as long as you think that way, it’s fine.”

After sharing this little interlude, Su He changed her clothes, and the two went out together.

Just as they left the house, Jiang You received a call from her own brother.

Jiang Yan, “Has your sister-in-law woken up yet?”

Jiang You, “Yes, she just woke up, we’re heading out now… Oh, I understand.”

After hanging up the phone, Jiang You turned to Su He and said, “Sister-in-law, my brother said he has reserved a private room here.

They’ve finished their talk and told us to go straight there.”

Su He, “Mm, let’s go then.”

Jiang You was very familiar with the place and didn’t need guidance.

But just as they were about to reach the private room, several people approached from the opposite direction.

Jiang You initially thought her eyes were playing tricks on her, so she stopped and took another careful look.

“Isn’t that Tang Sirou?”

As she spoke, she shook Su He’s arm, her expression full of schadenfreude.

At that moment, Tang Sirou was tightly held around the waist by a greasy-looking middle-aged man, his belly as big as if he was six or seven months pregnant, and his hair was thinning…

He could be old enough to be her father.

“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, look quickly, I must not be seeing wrong, am I?” she asked uncertainly.

Su He had good eyesight.

The moment Tang Sirou appeared, she had seen her.

And at this moment, Tang Sirou had not yet noticed them, as her face was buried in the chest of the middle-aged man, displaying a bird-nestling-against-a-person pose.

Since that day, Su He had never encountered Tang Sirou and Lin Xueyin again.

The middle-aged man holding Tang Sirou, upon spotting Su He and Jiang You standing there, suddenly asked the woman in his arms, “Sirou, are these two beauties your friends?”

Tang Sirou heard this and finally looked over.

Upon seeing Su He and Jiang You standing there, her mind exploded in shock, and she immediately panicked, struggling out of the man’s embrace and freezing on the spot.

She never expected to run into Su He here.

At this moment, she felt humiliated to an unbearable extent, her dignity taking a blow like never before, a sense of indignity welling up inside her—her heart was filled with fury!

Her expression was rich with emotion, but for Su He, she merely glanced indifferently, not paying any further attention, thus missing the rapid change in Tang Sirou’s expression.

The middle-aged man, initially pushed away by Tang Sirou, was about to get angry, but his gaze lingered on Su He, unwittingly attracted.

This woman was far more attractive than Tang Sirou, and she emanated an aura of cool sophistication, sparking a desire in him to conquer.

So, he didn’t hold Tang Sirou’s abrupt actions against her but instead said, “Sirou, your two friends are pretty attractive, especially the taller one.

Aren’t you going to introduce us?”

Tang Sirou was stunned, she raised her eyes to meet the man’s, a hint of viciousness flickering momentarily through her gaze.

Su He, that slut, seduces everywhere she goes!

Suddenly, she came up with an idea.

She leaned into the man, whispering with a frown, “President Chen, her name is Su He, she’s a doctor.

She may seem cold, but she’s very gentle, kind-hearted, and she even saved me twice before.”

Jiang You looked at her sticking to that old man again, feeling utterly disgusted.

She shivered and said, “This is too disgusting, sister-in-law, let’s go, my brother must be getting anxious.”

Su He hummed in agreement.

Jiang Yan’s reserved private room was still ahead, so they had to pass by them.

Jiang You and Su He did not bother with Tang Sirou and simply walked past her.

“Wait a moment, beautiful doctor.”

At that moment, the middle-aged man who was embracing Tang Sirou suddenly reached out and grabbed Su He’s arm.

Su He had to stop, and when Jiang You saw him grabbing Su He like that, she instantly wanted to flare up, but Su He held her back, signaling her not to be impulsive.

The middle-aged man, seeing that she hadn’t shaken his hand off immediately, was quite pleased.

His eyes on Su He began to show undisguised lasciviousness.

Su He turned around, her expression indifferent, her clear eyes filled with icy light, her whole being emitting an overwhelming chill.

But the middle-aged man simply thought it was her character and didn’t care.

Tang Sirou, meanwhile, let go of the middle-aged man, a cold smirk crossing her lips.

President Chen is famously lecherous, always lusting after women, and to him, a woman like Su He was precisely his type.

“Beauty, why leave without saying hello?

You and Sirou are friends, aren’t you?”

Hearing his words, Su He glanced coldly at Tang Sirou before looking back at the old lecher.

Her voice was icy as she spoke, “Give you three seconds, let go!”

Listening to her, President Chen felt an itch in his heart; even though she sounded cold, it must be enticing when she calls out.

He completely disregarded Su He’s words, instead intensifying his tone, “Miss Su, you’ve aroused my desire to conquer.

I love this kind of cold and aloof beauty like you.

We were just about to go to the hot springs, why don’t you join us?

I guarantee you’ll be in ecstasy.

Jiang You felt goosebumps all over her body listening to him, it was so damn disgusting!

Especially the undisguised lust in his eyes, it was utterly revolting!

After President Chen finished speaking, he tried to pull Su He into his embrace, but the next second…

The hand that was grabbing Su He was suddenly pinched by a clearly defined hand, causing him pain, and he let go.

Just as he was about to curse, he was kicked and sent flying with an unprecedented force…

He slid along the long corridor for more than ten meters…

Everyone with him was shocked by this sudden kick!

Tang Sirou was no exception; she was so scared that she stepped back, stumbled, and fell to the ground.

Su He fell into a familiar embrace.

Seeing that it was her brother-in-law, Jiang You quickly exaggerated: “Ah, bro, you’re here…

If you hadn’t come, sister-in-law would have been harassed by that old lecher and this Tang girl!”

Jiang You pointed at Tang Sirou, who was sitting on the ground.

Jiang Yan didn’t look at Tang Sirou; his presence exuded an extremely chilling oppression, and his narrow eyes were terrifyingly cold.

“Jiang Feng, chop off his hands!”

The man’s deep voice, as if wrapped in ice chips, was bone-chilling and spread a sense of terror.

Even Jiang You was startled, Oh my god, my brother is really terrifying…

The people who came with President Chen, upon seeing it was Jiang Yan, were all shocked, their legs trembling.

Luckily they hadn’t interfered just now, otherwise…
