In the villa, Jiang Jingchen was about to have lunch when Song Zhou suddenly showed him a video.
His black eyes turned cold, and his handsome face turned gloomy.
Snap.
He broke the chopsticks he was holding.
Song Zhou was so scared that his face turned green.
He was really worried that the young master would accidentally break his neck.
He sighed in her heart. Why was Tang Beibei behaving this way again, hugging another man?
Why wouldn’t she take the well-paved road instead of walking through the minefield?
She would suffer big time now that the warlord was angry.
“To school!”
Song Zhou quickly went to get the car.
Wen Nan was unhappy to hear that he wanted to go to Tang Beibei’s school after she made lunch for him.
However, she still put on gentle smile and asked like his wife, “What’s so urgent? Can’t you have lunch first?”
Song Zhou hinted at her to keep quiet.
The young master was furious. He might explode if one was not careful.
Wen Nan did not want to anger him, but she was still unhappy and disliked Tang Beibei even more.
On their way to Tang Beibei’s school, Jiang Jingchen checked Tang Beibei’s whereabouts.
He located her at a coffee shop and asked Song Zhou to drive to the coffee shop.
Song Zhou looked at the address and pleaded in his heart for Tang Beibei to have her wits about her today and not be having coffee with a man. Otherwise, the young master would lose it and kill someone!
Pushing Jiang Jingchen into the cafe, Song Zhou scanned the room and froze.
He shuddered and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Tang Beibei was having coffee with a man!
Half an hour ago…
After leaving the library, Tang Beibei thought about what just happened with Lu Fan and was still confused.
Why did Lu Fan think that she liked him?
She had heard about Lu Fan from her seniors and classmates since the day she entered university. About him being a good student with excellent grades, a handsome and noble young master of the Lu family, a high quality second-generation heir, and an elite with a limitless future…
If he took over Lu Corporation, he would be the future CEO of Lu Corporation.
She knew very well that she was from a very different world compared to Lu Fan, so she never had any illusion about being with him.
She was fond of Jiang Jingchen because he wasn’t outstanding. He was, in fact, in a bad situation and was very pitiful.
Seeing him was like seeing her own shadow.
Therefore, she wanted to take care of him and treat him well. She wanted him to get better.
Thinking of her husband, the corners of her lips curled into a smile. She couldn’t wait to see him.
Song Kai, who was waiting outside the library for the outcome of Lu Fan’s meeting with Tang Beibei, was puzzled when he saw Tang Beibei walk out alone. He was about to walk up to her and ask her what happened when he saw a familiar looking man.
He immediately took a few steps back and hid.
Tang Beibei was stopped by an old man who said to her, “Miss Tang, may I have a word with you in private, please?”
She scratched her head in confusion. “Do 1 know you?”
“Miss Tang, noble people tend to have short memories. I’m Master Jiang’s butler. My surname is Pan.”
Tang Beibei understood his sarcasm and felt a little helpless.
“Hello, Butler Pan. Why are you looking for me?”
Butler Pan didn’t say anything but gestured for her to follow him.
Tang Beibei stayed on her toes and followed him to a cafe.
Butler Pan sat upright and said, “Miss Tang, you’re not suitable for our first young master. Please leave as soon as possible.”
Tang Beibei looked at him in confusion. Why did he say that? She felt that she was quite suitable for Jiang Jingchen.
“Your status is too low, and you’re having an ambiguous relationship with another man. You are a disgrace to the Jiang family. Please file for a divorce.”
Butler Pan’s voice was very cold when he said those unpleasant words.
“Butler Pan, I’ve already told you that what happened before was a misunderstanding. There’s no way I will divorce Jiang Jingchen.”
Butler Pan’s expression darkened when he saw that she was unmoved. He took out a check and slid it across the table to Tang Beibei.
“Miss Tang, here’s ten million yuan. Take the money and I’ll arrange for you to study abroad!”
Tang Beibei imagined the pile of cash behind the check and swallowed hard.
10 million yuan was a lot of money!
They were willing to give her ten million yuan, but they cut off Jiang Jingchen’s finances. How could they still say that it was for Jiang Jingchen’s own good when they wouldn’t even give him money for his rehabilitation?
Tang Beibei took a deep breath. It took her a lot of courage to restrain her hand from taking this huge sum of money.
“Butler Pan, I think you’ve misunderstood. Jiang Jingchen and I are good together. I’m also very good to him. You…”
Butler Pan took out another check and slid it across to Tang Beibei. “It seems that Miss Tang has a big appetite. I’ll add another ten million.”
Tang Beibei looked at the two checks in shock. 20 million yuan was a lot of money!
She chuckled and said, “Butler Pan, you’re too generous. 1 wouldn’t dare to take so much money. I don’t usually spend much, so I don’t need so much money.” “Miss Tang, don’t be too greedy!”
Butler Pan was angry. Even 20 million yuan was not enough to make her leave.
“On the contrary, I’m not greedy at all. Butler Pan, I’m with Jiang Jingchen not because of money. I hope you understand.”
Butler Pan sneered. “Miss Tang, I think you’re asking for the hard way. You won’t be able to bear it when Old Master Jiang gets angry!”
Tang Beibei stood her ground and said, “Even if I can’t bear it, I will. 1 am married to Jiang Jingchen. If he doesn’t agree to divorce, I won’t leave him.”
A few tables away from Tang Beibei and Butler Pan, Song Zhou stole a glance at the young master beside him. He could clearly feel that the young master, who was furious a few seconds ago, was like a balloon that had been popped after he heard Tang Beibei’s words. The displeasure he felt earlier had dissipated a little.
Song Zhou heaved a sigh of relief. He was really worried that his young master would lose his temper and he would become collateral damage.
Seeing Jiang Jingchen turn his wheelchair, Song Zhou quickly stood up and followed him.
Butler Pan sneered when he heard that Tang Beibei was still not leaving Jiang Jingchen. “Miss Tang, you’re very brave. But you probably haven’t thought about what it means to disobey the old master. You…”
“Have you ever thought about the consequences of angering me when you came here to find my wife?”
It was Jiang Jingchen’s cold voice that interrupted Butler Pan’s words.
Butler Pan looked at the suddenly present Jiang Jingchen in surprise. He quickly stood up and respectfully greeted Jiang Jingchen.
Jiang Jingchen sneered and stared at Butler Pan coldly. “You still remember that I’m the first young master of the Jiang family? Butler Pan has a bad memory. Don’t you know that my wife is the first young madam of the Jiang family? Why would she need your money?”
Butler Pan was at a loss. He explained, “First Young Master, Old Master is doing this for your own good. You…”
“Take your money and get lost!” Jiang Jingchen shouted coldly.
“First Young Master, you…”
Jiang Jingchen looked up at Butler Pan impatiently. “It’s the old master’s prerogative who he wants to do good for. It has nothing to do with me!”
Butler Pan opened his mouth and realized that the estrangement between the father and son was not something that could be resolved with just a few words. All he could do was to let out a sigh and walk away with the checks.
Tang Beibei looked at the suddenly present Jiang Jingchen. She was surprised and happy as she got up and walked toward him.
“Hubby, why are you here all of a sudden?”
Jiang Jingchen turned his head and saw his smiling wife. His expression softened a little, but when he saw her coat that had been touched by another man, he suddenly felt disgusted.
He said, “I heard weather forecast say that it will rain this afternoon. I’m here to give you an umbrella.”
Tang Beibei heart warmed when she heard that, but she still said, “You didn’t have to come all the way here. You could just call me and let me know.”
Jiang Jingchen smiled and said in a deep voice, “It’s pointless to just tell you. I’ll only be at ease if I give it to you personally.”
Song Zhou watched his young master lie without batting an eyelid, and gave him a thumbs up in his heart.
Goodness. This was an Oscar worthy performance!
“Since we are here, let’s order coffee.” Jiang Jingchen said.
Song Zhou wanted to tell him that he was in disguise as a patient and shouldn’t drink coffee, but Jiang Jingchen gave him a cold look. Song Zhou quickly ran to order coffee.
After the coffee was served, Jiang Jingchen tested the temperature of the drink before pushing a mug of coffee to Tang Beibei.
“Beibei, you talked so much just now. Come, have some coffee to quench your thirst.”
“Thank you, hubby.”
Tang Beibei picked up her drink and heard the man say, “Beibei, slow down.”
The man covered her hand. The coffee mug she was holding shook and coffee spilled. Tang Beibei dodged in surprise.
The coffee wasn’t hot, but it spilled on her and stained her clothes.
Jiang Jingchen’s face was upset as he said, “I’m sorry, Beibei. I’ve ruined your clothes. Let’s get you a new set of clothes.”
Song Zhou could see clearly that his young master had done it on purpose!
In terms of two-facedness, he really admired his young master!
