Tang Beibei’s phone rang again as she walked out of the school gate. It was an unknown number.
She rejected the call and said, “Are salespeople bombarding us now by calling us from different numbers non-stop?”
Fu Jin said, “It might be from a different company. I also received a call promoting real estate.”
Tang Beibei got into his car and said with her chin on her hand, “Real estate prices are crazy here. Fifty to sixty thousand yuan per square meter is considered cheap. Who can afford it?”
Fu Jin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw her in the back seat.
“Beibei, why aren’t you riding shotgun?”
Tang Beibei explained seriously, “My husband reminded me that only the girlfriend or wife should ride shotgun. I’m not your girlfriend or wife. I didn’t know that before but now that I do, I can’t sit in front.”
Fu Jin laughed in amusement. Jiang Jingchen was definitely a dog with very strong wolf genes to be so possessive.
Tang Beibei’s phone rang again. It was another unknown number.
She was a little frustrated. “Are all the salespeople targeting me today?”
The more these calls came, the more rebellious she felt. She didn’t want to answer the call and rejected it.
When they arrived at the dance studio, the two of them practiced with their phones on silent in their bags put at the side. The music in the training room drowned out any vibration sounds from their phones.
At the TCM faculty dean’s office in school…
Jiang Minghua sat opposite the dean as she waited for him to call Tang Beibei over.
Since Tang Beibei didn’t answer her call, she would look for her in person at the TCM faculty of A-University.
The dean phoned Tang Beibei. The first call didn’t go through, neither did the second nor the third.
The dean also felt very helpless. “Tang Beibei must be busy or doesn’t have her phone with her. I’m really sorry, Miss Jiang.”
She was the first young miss of the Jiang family; he had to give her face.
Jiang Minghua was a little angry. “She’s a student. What can she be busy with?
She didn’t pick up my calls, and she didn’t pick up yours either. She’s has quite a temper.”
The dean smiled politely; it wasn’t something he’d like to comment on.
Tang Beibei was Jiang Jingchen’s wife, and Jiang Jingchen was the first young master of the Jiang family. Although he wasn’t favored at home, he was still the first young master and Jiang Minghua’s eldest brother.
Tang Beibei was her sister-in-law. It was inappropriate for an outsider like him to interfere in conflict between sisters-in-law.
“Then, please find out who she’s usually with. You need to help me find her.” The dean had no choice but to call the guidance counsellor in charge of Tang Beibei’s class over. However, a teacher told him that the previous counsellor, Teacher Wan, had been transferred and her replacement hadn’t been named.
However, the dean could try calling Tang Beibei’s class monitor for help.
The dean found Fu Jin’s number and called him twice. Similarly, no one picked up, so he hit the wall too.
“This class monitor is quite arrogant. He doesn’t even answer the dean’s call.”
In the dean’s mind, students had their own matters to attend to. What if they went to the library to study and turned off their phones?
He wouldn’t be angry at such hardworking students. He’d be very happy instead.
But he still had to somehow please Jiang Minghua, a daughter of a rich family.
“Third Young Miss, I’m afraid we won’t be able to find Tang Beibei today. Why don’t you come another day?”
Jiang Minghua was annoyed. She made time to come to Tang Beibei’s school to find her, but she got nothing.
“Then I’ll come back tomorrow. I must find Tang Beibei.”
The dean replied, “Third Young Miss, tomorrow is the weekend. There are no classes. Miss Tang won’t be in school.”
That meant that Jiang Minghua had to figure out something else if she wanted to find Tang Beibei tomorrow or the day after.
Jiang Minghua was so angry that she squeezed her bag and left the dean’s office unhappily.
After she left, the dean shook his head helplessly.
Tang Beibei was Professor Chen’s student, and Professor Chen was famous for being protective of his students. The Jiangs shouldn’t bring their family problems to school or there’d be another bloodbath.
Two hours later, dance training ended and Tang Beibei turned on her phone.
She saw missed calls from three or four unknown numbers. She really admired those salespeople.
They would definitely close sales with such perseverance.
Fu Jin turned on his phone and realized that he had missed calls too, from an unknown number.
They were students, so they wouldn’t know the dean’s number. It was also the first time he received a call from the dean’s office, so it was an unknown number.
“Don’t tell me I’m also on someone’s outbound sales call list.”
Tang Beibei glanced at his phone and exclaimed, “It’s the same number that called me. How strange.”
Fu Jin dialed the number. When the receiver said that he was the dean of the TCM faculty, he felt a little awkward.
“I’m sorry, Dean. We were at dance practice and our phones were on silent.”
The dean replied with a smile, “I’m okay. It’s the third young miss of the Jiang family, Jiang Minghua, who couldn’t contact Tang Beibei and asked me to find her. She only went home after I couldn’t find Tang Beibei.”
Fu Jin glanced at Tang Beibei. “Why is she looking for her?”
“That girl looked okay when she came here but when she couldn’t find Tang Beibei in school, she looked angry. It didn’t look like something good. Fu Jin, are you with Tang Beibei?”
Everyone in school knew that Tang Beibei was Professor Chen’s student and a good dancer. The dean played dumb earlier because he also didn’t want Jiang Minghua to find Tang Beibei.
“Yes.”
“Tell her to stay away from Jiang Minghua to avoid any conflict.”
“Jiang Minghua is Jiang Xing’s favorite daughter and the only daughter of the
Jiang family. Although Jiang Jingchen is the eldest son, if they get into a conflict, Miss Tang will suffer.”
Tang Beibei was a student of his faculty after all, so the dean was protective of her.
Fu Jin nodded yes and said thank you to the dean before he hung up.
Tang Beibei was puzzled. “Who is it?”
“The dean of the TCM faculty was looking for me. He couldn’t find me, so he tried calling you.”
Fu Jin didn’t want to tell Tang Beibei about Jiang Minghua.
He took Tang Beibei’s phone and blocked an earlier unknown number that called her many times.
“I blocked the earlier number which we suspected was a salesperson so you won’t be disturbed.”
Tang Beibei held her phone, saw the two missed calls from the dean and felt bad for being so immature.
The two of them were standing close to each other and speaking in hushed voices. The other trainees looked at them strangely.
Some of them were cursing in their hearts that Tang Beibei was shameless. She already had such a handsome husband, yet she was seducing the captain. How shameless!
Ye Lan’s eyes were cold as she took out her phone and quietly recorded the scene.
Tang Beibei had no idea what others were thinking. When she received Jiang Jingchen’s call, she packed her bag to leave.
Fu Jin also got up and walked out of the dance studio with her.
When he saw Jiang Jingchen, he asked Tang Beibei to get in the car first because he had something to say to Jiang Jingchen.
Tang Beibei was puzzled. “What is it that you can’t tell me and must tell my husband?”
Fu Jin said calmly, “It’s something men talk about. I’m learning from your husband how to woo girls. It’s not convenient for you to listen.”
Tang Beibei looked at Fu Jin strangely. Why did Fu Jin need to learn how to woo girls from her husband?
Was her husband very experienced?
She reluctantly got into the car and closed the door. She leaned against the window and listened attentively.
Fu Jin turned sideways and asked Jiang Jingchen over.
Jiang Jingchen crossed his arms and looked at Fu Jin coldly.
Fu Jin’s serious expression didn’t look like he was learning anything from Jiang Jingchen. He looked like he was warning him about something.
Fu Jin said, “Jiang Minghua is looking for Beibei. She went to our faculty and even asked the dean to call me. You should know the kind of character Third Young Miss is.”
Jiang Jingchen turned to look at him. “You seem to pay more attention to my wife than your girlfriend?”
Fu Jin laughed in frustration. “My girlfriend and I are very good!”
“Tang Beibei and I can’t be a couple, but I can still treat her like a sister. If you can’t protect her, maybe you should let her go.”
“Dream on!”
Jiang Jingchen chuckled coldly. “Mind your own girlfriend. As for brother and sister, don’t play such tricks.”
They were both men. How could a man really treat a woman he used to like as a sister?
Who would believe that?
Anyway, Jiang Jingchen couldn’t do such a generous thing.
But Fu Jin was kind enough to warn him about Jiang Minghua.
“I’ll handle this matter. Thank you for taking the trouble. Fu Jin, please know your limits. Everyone has their own place, so don’t cross the line.”
Fu Jin was so angry that he looked up at the sky. This man was really jealous. “Jiang Jingchen, why are you so nervous? Do you not trust yourself or Beibei?” “Sigh. This is so unusual. Is the scary Mr.. Chen, who intimates people in the business world, afraid?”
