Lunchtime at a hotel…
When Tang Beibei and Jiang Jingchen arrived, Lu Fan was already there.
His hair was well-groomed, and his stylish hairstyle accentuated his handsome face. He was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a pair of leather loafers. He looked sharp and peppy.
Song Zhou pushed the wheelchair forward and glanced at his young master in the wheelchair. For this lunch appointment, he went to the store and bought a new double-breasted suit. Although it was made of excellent material, compared to the young man, he looked more mature, calm and elegant.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan turned his head and didn’t even look at the man in the wheelchair. Instead, he stared unblinkingly at Tang Beibei with sadness in his eyes.
Jiang Jingchen grabbed Tang Beibei’s wrist and also ignored Lu Fan. After they were seated, he asked the staff to bring tea and personally poured a glass of water for Tang Beibei.
Tang Beibei smiled and took the glass in front of Lu Fan and asked Jiang Jingchen to pour him some water too.
Jiang Jingchen gritted his teeth, but in front of his love rival, he couldn’t show weakness.
Tang Beibei said, “Senior Lu Fan, my husband’s bodyguard was too impulsive and attacked you. My husband is here to apologize to you.”
Lu Fan took the glass of water from Jiang Jingchen and saw the disdain in his eyes.
“For the sake of Junior Beibei, I’ll drink this tea and not hold it against you.” Lu Fan drank his tea.
Jiang Jingchen picked up his teacup and smiled. “Mr. Lu, thank you for your understanding. It is fate that we met. 1 can’t drink, so I will replace wine with tea. 1 also thank you for taking care of my wife.”
Jiang Jingchen drank the tea in his teacup and picked up the teapot to refill Lu Fan’s tea.
Lu Fan chuckled and did not reach out for his teacup. “Since Beibei is my junior under the same teacher, it’s my duty to take care of her. However, Mr. Jiang’s current situation isn’t too good so the bodyguards you hired might also be of poor quality. I hope that Mr. Jiang will hire better bodyguards in future. You must test them carefully, so you don’t hire bodyguards who are brainless and use their fists to hurt people.”
Jiang Jingchen replied, “Although Mr. Lu is young, you sure know a lot. You have a promising future. Your grandfather also wants to train you so that you can have a great future. You can’t let down the old man’s painstaking efforts. Study hard and you will definitely achieve great things in life.”
The two of them exchanged words. Tang Beibei heard their conversation and thought that they were chatting. She was even happy that they had reconciled.
However, Song Zhou could feel the two of them crossing swords.
They were fighting a battle without arms.
When Lu Fan heard Jiang Jingchen mention his grandfather, he was furious.
However, he couldn’t show it in front of Tang Beibei. He picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp before refilling his own cup.
“Mr. Jiang is here for treatment. I wonder how your treatment is going. Now that you and your father are estranged, do you need my help financially?”
Song Zhou sneered coldly at Lu Fan’s attempt to hit his young master’s sore point.
His young master might not have much else, but he had a lot of money.
Jiang Jingchen said, “Thank you, Mr. Lu. I’m here for my regular check-up. The doctor said that I’m recovering very well, and I could walk soon.”
“As for money, Mr. Lu is still a student. Most of your expenses are borne by your family. How can I ask you for help?”
Song Zhou thought in his heart, his young master could beat professional negotiators and psychologists at the negotiation table. How could a young and inexperienced person like Lu Fan, who relies on the Lu family for everything, beat him? No way!
Lu Fan could hear the sarcasm in Jiang Jingchen’s words. He suppressed his anger and did not say more. He just drank his tea.
Soon, the waiters came in to serve their lunch and broke the tension in the room. Tang Beibei asked Lu Fan why he came to M-Country and found out that he was here as an exchange student and would be here for two years.
When Lu Fan spoke, he gave Jiang Jingchen a meaningful look.
It was Jiang Jingchen’s fault that he came to M-Country!
Although he didn’t know how this cripple convinced his grandfather, for his grandfather to send him abroad, Jiang Jingchen must have very powerful trump cards.
After lunch, Tang Beibei got up to go to the bathroom, leaving only the two men in the private room.
“Jiang Jingchen, what did you do to make my grandfather agree to send me abroad?” Lu Fan asked directly.
“Mr. Lu, your grandfather sent you abroad for your future. What does it have to do with me?” Jiang Jingchen acted innocent.
“Other than you, I can’t think of anyone else. I…”
“What happens to you has nothing to do with me. Lu Fan, you must remember that Tang Beibei is already married, and you will have nothing to do with her after today!” Jiang Jingchen warned coldly.
Lu Fan wanted to say that a sickly person like him could never give Tang Beibei happiness, but he didn’t say anything in the end as he thought about Jiang Jingchen’s possible recovery.
Because what he said was also the truth.
No matter how much he argued, it would not change the fact that Tang Beibei was his wife.
After Tang Beibei returned, the three of them parted ways.
Lu Fan couldn’t bear to watch Tang Beibei leave. His face was gloomy, like his crush had ended without a reason. He felt sad but couldn’t explain why.
He could only laugh at himself and blame himself for being too proud and not telling her how he felt about her. He could not blame anyone else for missing his chance with her.
After leaving the restaurant, Tang Beibei told Jiang Jingchen that she wanted to visit a couple.
When Jiang Jingchen heard that they were people who had helped her, he didn’t refuse and asked Song Zhou to buy some health supplements.
When the three of them arrived at John’s house, Tang Beibei knocked on the door. John came out and welcomed them with a smile.
“Mr. John, 1 brought my husband here to thank you for your help.”
“Your husband? Where is that handsome young man?” John looked around.
Jiang Jingchen guessed that the handsome young man John was talking about was Lu Fan, and his face darkened.
“No, that gentleman is just my friend. This is my husband, Jiang Jingchen.” Tang Beibei explained.
“Oh, sorry. 1 thought your husband was that very handsome man. 1 didn’t expect it to be him. He, uh, is also, very good.”
Mr. John saw him in a wheelchair and wanted to praise him politely, but when he saw the scar on the man’s face, he searched hard but could only awkwardly say that he was very good.
To ease the awkwardness, John invited them to have tea. Tang Beibei asked Jiang Jingchen with her eyes. Jiang Jingchen wheeled himself in, and Tang Beibei quickly said that they were sorry to disturb them.
Song Zhou followed them in and looked around John’s house. His eyes were fixed on a family photo.
In the photo, there was a man who happened to be the partner that Young Master was looking for!
Song Zhou was excited. They had been trying to find a way in Y-Country for a whole day without success. But they had actually found an opportunity here.
Luck was really on their side!
Tang Beibei was truly a lucky star to be able to help Young Master like this.
John and his wife were kind and hospitable. They invited Tang Beibei to admire their garden. Song Zhou smiled and immediately went up to John and his wife. It was a chance encounter, so he wondered if they could take photos together.
John and his wife did not refuse. They stood together and took photos with Tang Beibei. Song Zhou organized the photos and posted them on social media.
After they had afternoon tea, Jiang Jingchen said that he was very grateful for their help to his wife. He gave them a few tickets to the art exhibition and invited them to dinner after the exhibition.
Tang Beibei looked at Jiang Jingchen in surprise. Where did this art exhibition come from?
John and his wife both work in the art world. When they heard about the art exhibition, they were very happy to accept Jiang Jingchen’s invitation. After spending the afternoon with him, their impression of him had also changed. He was in a wheelchair but his knowledge and speech were extraordinary.
After leaving John’s house and getting into the car, Tang Beibei asked in confusion, “Hubby, why do you suddenly want to see an art exhibition?”
Jiang Jingchen couldn’t tell her that he owned a business, so he lied, “John and his wife helped you. 1 just wanted to thank them and make friends with them.”
Tang Beibei thought that although his legs were injured and he could not move freely, he was quite cheerful and willing to make friends. Naturally, she would not object.
“Hubby, how much did we spend today? Let me see?”
Song Zhou felt his young master’s gaze on him and his scalp went numb.
Today’s expenses were not low!
