Chapter 260: Chapter 260
260: Chapter 260: Disappeared in Yue City 260: Chapter 260: Disappeared in Yue City Everyone knows that Fifth Young Master Jiang is married with a beloved wife, and now it seems that the lady in question is right before us.
No wonder they always found her slightly familiar, they just didn’t remember in the moment.
“Fifth Young Master Jiang, apologies, it was our oversight, we have offended your wife.
But this matter has nothing to do with us, it’s all Chen Cong’s own doing.”
“Yes, yes, we failed to recognize the great before us, this matter is all this woman’s instigation, I heard her provoking Chen Cong just now.”
One of them pointed to Tang Sirou on the ground, pinning everything on her.
But it wasn’t truly an injustice to her since she indeed had said such things.
By now, these people remembered that Tang Sirou had been involved in scandalous rumors with Jiang Yan, clearly attempting to climb the social ladder.
But President Jiang had already married, only it hadn’t been announced.
Now, they inferred her ulterior motives, she had intended to use Chen Cong to teach Mrs.
Tang Sirou had never expected these wretched old fools to betray her.
At this moment, it felt like her attempt to steal a chicken only to lose her rice.
Then, her body stiffened because she felt a sharp and sinister gaze upon her.
Lifting her head, she met Jiang Yan’s cold, frosty black pupils.
In the past, she had always wanted him to glance her way more often, for his gaze to linger on her a little longer, but now his gaze indeed lingered, not with affection but with a killing intent.
The man’s deep voice was filled with a chilling coldness, “Miss Tang, we spared your life merely to accumulate good deeds, not wishing to kill without cause!
But you’ve targeted my wife time and time again, and my patience and tolerance are limited.
Since you refuse to change, from now on, you need not show your face in Yue City again!”
Jiang Yan’s words fell on Tang Sirou’s ears like daggers torturing her.
Her mind buzzed loudly, fear magnifying in her heart.
She looked at him with wide, fearful eyes, her lips trembling, “What…
what do you mean by this?”
Jiang Yan did not respond to her, withdrawing his gaze.
At that moment, Fei Xu appeared from nowhere, and the man commanded in a deep voice, “Fei Xu, take her and hand her over to Fei Yang, no need to ask for my opinion.”
Fei Xu nodded and responded, “Understood, Master, your subordinate comprehends.”
Fei Xu stepped forward, grabbing Tang Sirou’s arm with a spreading fear on her face as she tried to escape, but how could she break free from Fei Xu’s grip.
Fei Xu forcefully dragged her up.
I won’t go anywhere…”
Fei Xu paid no attention to her yelling.
Tang Sirou then desperately looked at Jiang Yan, pleading pitifully, “Ah Yan, you can’t do this to me, please, for the sake of Jing Chu, let me go, please?”
The man still ignored her.
When Jiang You heard the names Fei Xu and Fei Yang, she shivered.
In the hands of these two, wouldn’t Tang Sirou lose a layer of skin?
Subconsciously, she stepped back several paces and bumped into a solid wall.
Gu Beiyan had stealthily positioned himself behind her.
His hands captured her shoulders, steadying her, “Xiao Youzi, why do you enjoy bumping into me so much?
Could it be you fancy my body and have impure thoughts about me?”
Jiang You, at 167 centimeters tall, seemed petite in front of his towering 188-centimeter frame, mainly because she was too thin, which made her look even more petite.
She turned away from him, throwing him an annoyed glance, “Beiyan, can you speak normally?
Stop being so improper all the time.
Only if my brain rusted would I have impure thoughts about you!”
During all this, the corridor was filled with Tang Sirou’s screeching cries, so no one paid attention to their conversation.
Gu Beiyan, seizing the moment before anyone noticed, leaned in and teased her, “I allow you to have impure thoughts about me.”
Jiang You was startled, feeling a tickle in her ear, and instinctively shrank her neck.
What did he mean by that?
What does it mean to allow her to have impure thoughts about him?
Was his brain flooded with water?
Questions raced through Jiang You’s mind.
As Jiang Yan and Su He turned around, Gu Beiyan released her and casually draped an arm around her shoulders, as relaxed as if he was hugging his own little sister.
“Is everything settled?
If so, let’s go in to eat, I’m starved,” Gu Beiyan said.
Jiang Yan’s deep gaze swept over them, not saying anything.
He had seen such scenes before and found nothing amiss.
Gu Beiyan had always played the role of an older brother to Jiang You, and he had always viewed her as a little sister.
Little did they know that his ‘good brother’s’ feelings for his sister had changed.
After dinner, Jiang You was whispering something to Su He.
“Sister-in-law, how long might you be staying this time?”
She had forgotten to ask before, knowing that Su He wouldn’t be in Yue City permanently.
Su He replied, “Probably half a month.”
She had handled most of her work ahead of time; Lan Yan could manage the rest, and Su He didn’t need to return to the institute.
Previously, she had promised her younger uncle to occasionally consult at City First Hospital, but since taking over the institute, she had been too busy to return.
Now, she could take a few days during this half-month break to visit the hospital.
Upon hearing this, Jiang You immediately said, “That’s perfect since you’ll be here for my birthday.”
Her birthday was five days away.
Su He of course knew her birthday and asked, “How do you plan to celebrate?”
Jiang You pouted slightly and replied, “I haven’t decided yet.
My manager suggested having a live broadcast and celebrate with my fans.
As for you all, I just wanted to get together somehow, but I haven’t figured out how yet.”
Su He responded, “Take your time to think, no rush, there’s still time.
Let me know if you need my help.”
In the midst of their conversation, Jiang You suddenly asked her a question, “Sister-in-law, I want to ask you something.”
Su He made an inquisitive noise, “Ask away.”
Jiang You leaned in closer, whispering, “Sister-in-law, what does it mean if someone says, ‘I allow you to have impure thoughts about me’?
That person wouldn’t happen to fancy someone else, would they?”
Su He looked puzzled: ・_・?
“Who said that to you?”
She had hit the nail on the head with her first guess.
Jiang You quickly denied, “Not me, I’m asking for a friend.”
Su He made a non-committal noise, then analyzed, “Just from the literal meaning, it doesn’t necessarily indicate that the person likes your friend.
But one thing is certain, that person wants to flirt with your friend.”
After saying this, Su He watched her reaction, and the next second, Jiang You exploded.
She abruptly stood up from her chair.
“How can he be so lecherous?!”
Su He looked at her excited expression as if someone had touched her minefield.
The reaction not only startled Su He, but it also drew the attention of two big men sitting not far away.
Gu Beiyan responded to her: “Xiao Youzi, who are you cursing at?
Has someone who can’t see properly annoyed you?
If you’ve been wronged, just tell your brother Beiyan and I’ll get justice for you.”
Jiang You glanced at him awkwardly and replied: “No.”
Then she sat down again.
Her expression just now did not escape Su He’s sharp eyes, but she said nothing.
In the blink of an eye, it was Jiang You’s birthday.
That morning, her team arranged a two-hour live fan interaction session for her.
Now she’s considered a rising star in the entertainment industry with some achievements, beautiful and a good actress, attracting a group of loyal fans.
After the live stream, her manager Ms.
Qing said to her: “I won’t accompany you to the party tonight; Xiao Lu will be with you.
Also, my reminder is simple: don’t let paparazzi take compromising photos of you.
Although you’re not very famous now, you’re already more popular than many as a newcomer in the entertainment industry, so be careful with everything you do.”
Jiang You nodded obediently: “I know, I know.”
She always had a clear conscience and was never afraid of entertainment journalists and paparazzi.
Qing knew about Jiang You’s background; her family is the prominent Jiang Family from Yue City.
In the entire entertainment industry, nobody dares to provoke her; she could have any resource she wanted, yet she never once used the power of the Jiang Family.
Her achievements today are indeed due to her own efforts, and her adaptability is strong; she seems born for this career.
Even knowing her background, Ms.
Qing still had to do the reminding.
Jiang You chose the venue for her birthday party at Jing Xuan’s Fanghua Ruming.
Jing Xuan specially cleared out the third floor space for her, not entertaining any other guests tonight.
Seven o’clock in the evening.
Su He and Jiang Yan were the second to arrive, with Jing Xuan having come early and waiting.
Then arrived Xiao Si and Gu Beiyan, along with Su Zhimian and Sang Luo.
Su Zhimian came with Sang Luo.
He knew everyone present, so he didn’t feel awkward and naturally took a seat.
Ever since they had their talk, Su Zhimian had been glued to her even more.
He almost always followed her whenever she went out, and she couldn’t do much about it.
Sitting next to Su He, Sang Luo said somewhat sheepishly and helplessly: “Your brother has been a bit clingy recently; I don’t really know what to do.”
After hearing this, both Su He and Jing Xuan couldn’t help but laugh.
Jing Xuan joked: “This is the first time I’m seeing such a Zhimian.
Perhaps this is the power of love.”
Su He nodded in agreement: “Indeed, I’ve never seen him stick to anyone.
According to my aunt and grandma, my brother has been independent since he was little and never clingy.
I just didn’t expect him to stick to his wife when he grew up.”
Sang Luo didn’t know what to say after their back and forth comments.
The three of them were sitting on another sofa, not together with the rest.
Because Jing Xuan was pregnant, no one dared to smoke here, so the big men just sat and chatted.
Gu Beiyan sighed, kicking Xiao Si next to him: “Don’t you think us two eligible bachelors are a bit redundant sitting here?”
Xiao Si was seriously replying to a message on his phone and ignored him.
Gu Beiyan kicked him again.
Only after Xiao Si finished replying to Jiang Huai’s WeChat message did he look up and say: “What’s with you?
Just speak, don’t kick people.
If you hurt me, Jiangjiang will be distressed.”
Gu Beiyan: “What Jiangjiang?”
Xiao Si had never shown interest in women, staying single since birth.
Xiao Si said: “Old Gu, let me tell you, I’m not a bachelor; you are.
Don’t pin this lonely old man’s title on me; I have a girlfriend.”
Gu Beiyan frowned upon hearing this, “Where did you get a girlfriend from, a rental?
“Rent your sister!” Xiao Si gave him a glare: “She’s legitimately pursued by me.”
How come he hasn’t heard any rumors before?
“Which girl went blind and took a fancy to you?” Gu Beiyan said venomously.
Xiao Si really wanted to punch him, but knowing he couldn’t win, he refrained.
Instead, he clicked his tongue and said: “At least someone wants me, unlike you who’s unwelcome.
Don’t worry, my next plan is to open a nursing home, and I’ll make sure to reserve a prime spot for you, good brother.
No need to thank me.”
The other three men did not join in their conversation, their eyes occasionally drifting towards the three women.
Soon, Wan Muqi appeared.
He entered with An Mi and the birthday girl of the evening.
Jiang You met them on the ground floor and came up together.
“Yo, the birthday star has arrived,” Jing Xuan called out.
But when she saw An Mi, she was taken aback, “Eh, An Mi, you’re here too?”
Su He frowned when she saw An Mi; shouldn’t she be at school at this time?
An Mi approached them upon seeing the two.
Wan Muqi just glanced at her and found a place to sit down.
Jiang You also walked over and said, “I met An Mi and Mr.
Su He’s gaze inadvertently swept over Wan Muqi, then turned back to An Mi and asked, “How come you’re here with Mr.
The two of them typically wouldn’t have much to do with each other.
An Mi looked at her with clear apricot eyes and honestly replied: “I approached Mr.
Wan because of Yang Jie’s issue.
Wan said he was coming to Fanghua Ruming tonight, and since I had no classes, I came to find him.
We just finished talking and then met Jiang You downstairs, so we came up together.”
Su He asked: “What happened to Yang Jie?”
An Mi answered: “It seems like Tang Kai is going to be released, so…”
Su He’s eyebrows knitted together; wasn’t Tang Kai sentenced to prison?
How could he possibly be released after such a short time?
An Mi continued: “Yang Jie said that the Tang Family went to her parents’ house and threatened them.”
Next time, come to me directly with such matters.”
“Okay, I understand, sister.”
“Then stay and have fun tonight, I’ll take you back later.”
