Chapter 45: Chapter 45 I will save money to buy you a coffin oh Chapter 45: Chapter 45 I will save money to buy you a coffin oh Lu Qingyan was startled by Jiang Nanshu’s heartfelt words as he looked at Su Ran.
In his memory, Su Ran’s mother was a gentle speaker, raising her daughter on her own and never allowing her child to be wronged.
But he didn’t know that behind such a tender person lay a dark history.
Su Ran’s gaze was also hurt, probably really wounded by Lu Qingyan’s words.
She ran away crying.
[How has the plot reversed like this, shouldn’t I be the one running away in tears? Is it too late to cry now?]
Jiang Nanshu felt disheveled in the turmoil, looking sadly at Su Ran’s receding back.
All of this was because Lu Qingyan was too respectful of tradition, so his previous pledge to take responsibility for the marriage was serious.
Damn it.
She refused.
Jiang Nanshu looked around, trying to slip away, and then she met the eyes of Liang Ciqiu, hiding behind the glass doors of the bar, shrouded in shadows, his gaze filled with grief and venomous malice.
Oh no, another man who has been wounded by the heroine.
She had a guess.
Lu Qingyan had come here to find Liang Ciqiu; his identity must have been nearly figured out.
As a scion of a wealthy family, he couldn’t tolerate such a ticking time bomb, so he wanted to use money to send Liang Ciqiu away, or perhaps resort to more forceful methods to drive him out of Beijing.
And Su Ran just happened to come visit Liang Ciqiu, then got caught by Lu Qingyan.
[Turns out Su Ran came to secretly meet an old flame; they probably could have been a couple before she met you.]
Lu Qingyan followed Jiang Nanshu’s gaze and saw Liang Ciqiu hiding at the back. He didn’t hide or dodge, his eyes somberly observing the two of them.
[Sigh, just stepping out has invited a heap of hatred, destroy it all.]
Jiang Nanshu did not miss the hatred and disgust for her in Liang Ciqiu’s eyes.
True to the dog saved by Su Ran, loyal to her until death.
So when the system told her to redeem the villain, it only made her laugh.
In her worldview, only the weak needed redemption; the strong at the top had no weak points.
Jiang Nanshu was concerned about how to leave, especially since she would love to stick closely to Lu Qingyan 24 hours a day where he was.
A Maybach slowly pulled up in front of Jiang Nanshu.
The window behind was half-opened, revealing Jiang Yisen’s enchantingly handsome face. Unlike other brothers, Jiang Yisen was very good at keeping up appearances. Upon seeing Jiang Nanshu, his face broke into a smile, “Sister, what a coincidence, we meet again.”
Jiang Nanshu smiled insincerely, “Indeed, a coincidence, big brother, hitting up the bars?”
Jiang Yisen was wearing a black shirt, still done up carelessly as if he just got out of a woman’s nest, exuding a privileged languor.
His smile remained as he looked at Lu Qingyan beside her, raising his eyebrows in some surprise, “Yo, Young Master Lu can stand being around my sister without feeling sick?”
Knowing he was being sarcastic, Lu Qingyan’s expression didn’t change, “If you can stop to greet her, why can’t I?”
Jiang Yisen chuckled nonchalantly, looking Jiang Nanshu up and down, “Don’t say that, Young Master Lu, I treasure her. How could I dislike her? Nannan, want to come play at my company?”
[Shit, I’m going to vomit. This old bastard is more nauseating than I am!]
Jiang Yisen’s smile deepened, his eyes showing greater interest in Jiang Nanshu.
It had been a while since he had encountered something so intriguing.
Jiang Nanshu feigned delight, “I, I can really go to the company? But big brother, last time you were worried I’d dirty the place just by walking in.”
“Hm,” Jiang Yisen pondered for a moment, then smiled, “Then Nannan can just clean up the spots she dirties, can’t she?”
“”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
Seeing her silence, his smile grew wider, “Don’t mind it, sister. I’m just joking. How could I bear to have you mopping floors?”
This guy really has a poisonous tongue.
And utterly indebted.
Much harder to deal with than Jiang Zhouye.
By all rights, he should have taken a detour when he saw her, but now he’s even stopping in front of her, inviting her to his company?
[Heh, another one’s gone crazy.]
Feigning grievance, she said, “Even if big brother doesn’t like me, I’ll do anything you ask me to.” She looked at Lu Qingyan with watery apricot eyes, “Brother Qingyan, I’ll go with my elder brother now, you can go back by yourself. I’ll miss you, and be safe on the road, okay?”
[Finally, I can leave. I can’t stand being with you for a second.]
Jiang Nanshu quickly got into the car.
Lu Qingyan: “…”
Don’t you dare to have your heart match your mouth?
The low-profile Maybach drove off. Lu Qingyan looked in the direction of Liang Ciqiu, thinking about the illegitimate child with a sneer forming at the corner of his lips and a chill in his eyes. He wouldn’t give him the chance to appear in the Lu Family.
In the car, Jiang Nanshu felt uncomfortable in her seat and discovered a pair of stockings left by some woman.
She threw them away in disgust.
Jiang Yisen laughed indifferently, “This seems to be Qianqian’s. No, maybe Jiajia’s, or perhaps Meimei’s. I forget – they’ve all broken up anyway.”
Jiang Yisen was notoriously loose in the Beijing Circle, changing girlfriends every three months, or even weekly. Yet, the girls he dated were still willing to have a one-night stand with him – he couldn’t help it. He was wealthy, good-looking, generous with gifts, and even more so when it came to break-up fees, handing out millions with ease.
Jiang Nanshu, with apparent understanding, said, “It’s their problem.”
Internally she cursed: [Deadbeat player, changing girlfriends like clothes, throwing break-up fees around as if you’re so suave and wealthy. You’re just a big loser. If it weren’t for your philandering, how could your company have gone under? In the end, you got what you deserved with that car accident. None of the girls you spoiled were there to collect your body, even passing by your corpse felt ominous.]
Jiang Yisen’s smile froze for a moment… It was the first time he found himself unable to laugh.
If anyone dared to curse him like that to his face, he would take half of their life.
But the one in front of him was his own little sister, and she was venting inside her mind.
He took a deep breath and held back.
He had sought out Jiang Nanshu to find out why exactly he had gone bankrupt!
Some things needed to be preemptively dealt with.
He took out the fresh tender document he had just obtained, still warm to the touch.
With a smug face, he said, “Sister, look, this is the land that the Bao Family wanted to snatch from me. I spent five billion to secure it. This place can be developed into a tourist area; it’s surrounded by mountains and rivers, very suitable for residential travel.”
The document was headlined with bold lettering, “Yan Mountain Area Development Plan.”
Jiang Nanshu raised an eyebrow, her face full of admiration, “Brother, you’re amazing. Who does the Bao Family think they are, daring to compete with you? Pah!”
[Ha ha ha, there’s a road to heaven you won’t take, hell has no door yet you come of your own accord. Excellent.]
Jiang Yisen’s grip on the papers tightened unintentionally. His gaze turned grave as he looked at the development plan, and the joy of securing the land suddenly faded.
He even felt like it was burning his hands.
Jiang Yisen laughed, “When the time comes, how about I build you a princess castle on this plot? Once we make money, I’ll buy you candy.”
Jiang Nanshu looked overwhelmingly flattered, biting her lip tentatively, “I, I can really have a princess castle? But, brother, I hope you use the money you earn for yourself; it’s okay for me. The money you give me for candy, I’ll save every penny for you to use.”
[Teehee, I’ll save the money to buy you a coffin.]
